IAN OLD STAGER."
He is Ninety Years Old and Has 1S
Children Living,

Wilkes county has notable citizen
in the person Of Mr.. William Harrell,
who lives near Dockery, says the
North Wilkesboro News. He is now
90 years old and is the father of 10
children, Is of whom are living. For
% years, and until few months ago,
he walked and carried the mail from
Wilkesboro to Mouth of Wilson, Va,
distance of 80 miles, making the
round trip, distance of 104 miles, in
4S hours. He has never known what
it was to be sick until short while
ago when he had an attack of general
dropsy, and has always contended
that physicians were no good. How
ever he is of different opinion now,
and about the first of this month he
sent for DR.. Horton who found him in
critical condition. His entire body,
face and limbs were terribly swollen
and he could hardly see. The doctor
says he is reducing him down to his
normal size, and in short while the
old man will be able to be out again.
The old man has stopped ''cussin" the
doctors and now thinks they are the
greatest people imaginable.

A BAD CUTTING sCRAPE,
Three Winston Boys on the Wilkes
Excursion.

From the DAILY April 26th.]
Quite a serious cutting affair oc-
Cured on the excursion train from
WilkeSbOrO about $50 o'clock last
night, as the train was. nearing Elkin,
Walter Grimes, Wiley Walker and
Pink Hannah were seriously cut by a
party whose name could not be ascer-
tained.
The difficulty occurred in the front
combination baggage and passenger
car. A good many of the occupants
of the car are said to have been some
what boozy off of mountain dew
for which Wilkes is famous, and in
moving about the car they were jolted
against one another which brought
about general row. A young fellow,
apparently a "tough," drew knife
and cut and slaShed right and left.
Before the more cooi occupants of the
Car could get him under control he
had inflicted quite dangerous wound
in the thigh of Wiley Walker. Walter
Grimes received an ugly wound in the
back Immediately over the kidneys,
which it is feared will prove quite Sc
TlOuS. INK hdundu, Jf., Was nOC so
seriously cut-Only flesh wound
about the thigh-but his escape was
narrow as his clothes and skin were
marked in several places.
Both Messrs. Grimes and Walker
suffered greatly from loss of blood be-
fore they reached Winston. Dr. Ec-
tor was on the train and gave what
assistance he could, with no medi-
cines or bandages. They were carried
from the depot to their homes on a
hack and DR.. Dalton dressed their
wounds. The latest reports from
them are to the effect that they are
both doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
Two men named Shore and Reed, of
Sloan, were held under arrest for the
deed but the managers of the excur-
sion were fearful that it was not law
full to carry man from one county to
another without the proper papers
and had them turned loose. They
left the train at Sloan and "hit the
grit" at full speed.
The managers regret their action
very much, since they have learned
they would have been justifiable in
holding them.

The Income Tax.

From the Springfield Republican,
As a means of balancing budgets
without throwing all trade and in
dustry into disturbance, the income
tax is not excelled. Again British
ministry resorts to it in the exigency
of a revenue deficit-which shows
that nation is farther away from the
repeal of the tax than ever. Hard
times there have had the same effect
on the public revenues as here, and it
will be noticed that S20,000,0 tax
deficit is to be made good without dis
turbing trade in the least.

GREAT RAILROAD PROJECT.
A Plan to Develope a Large Section of
Country,

Communicated
great opportunity for Winston, to
make herself one of the most import
ant cities in the South. There is
great depression now and many people
feel discouraged. The darkest hour
is just before day. All over the North
there is revival of business and man
ufacturing. Another year will find
the South prOSpering as it never has
before. q Now is the time to think, to
plan, and to prepare for the active pc
riod in business which is not far off.
What Winston needs is an organiZa-
tion of business and real estate men,
who will help build furnace, and in
duce our people to give large bonus
in land to induce capital to come.
Then we can make up our minds that
with the manufacture of iron in Win
ston we will have industries that will
include car shops and the manufacture
of all kinds of agricultural imple-
ments used in the South. This is
what we want. Our people have done
much; they are enterprising and gen
erous. Now is the time SO make one
grand rally, and secure one advantage
over all North COrolina towns.
Within the next two years Winston
can secure a railroad from here to Ok
ford via ReidSville. This would give
us direct rail communication with
Norfolk. Reidsville stands ready to
help. This line would pass through
the centre of the rich gold, tobacco
belt, and bring it in direct communi-
cation with us. With the Wilkesboro
| road extended to Bristol, Tenn, Civ
ing connection with Cincinnati; the
Mocksville road extended to Moores-
| vile, and direct rail line to Norfolk.
What is there to prevent Winston
from becoming one of the greatest
cities in the South. While other
towns are asleep let US prepare to get
the fruit

High-Salaried Officials.
From the Roanoke Times, April 27th.l
There is prospect of trouble be-
tween the Norfolk Sc Western and it's
train men. For some time past ru-
mors have been current that strike
was imminent, but these were prob=
ably exaggerated. 1t is known, how
ever, that the men are not at all
satisfied with the present state of
affairs.
When the company reduced wages
on the 1st of February it was with
the understanding that they should
be restored to the old figures by May
1st if the business of the company
increased in the meantime. The men
claim, so it is stated, that business
has increased, but, notwithstanding
this fact, the company has notified its
employees that the agreement must
stand for ninety days longer.

Gordon replied in most eloquent
words. The body got into quite a

recommend officers for the ensuing

A SENSATION.
A special sent to New York paper
from Birmingham says: One of the
sensations of the great Confederate
| reunion being held here is the cold
shoulder which has been given the
widow of Jefferson Davis. One of the
| purposes of the association was to see
that each southern state contributed
pension of $500 for her support. The
| committee in charge of the subject in
reporting that the movement be drop
ped, stated that as Mrs. Davis had
selected New York as her residence,
she thereby lost her identity with the
southern states. This report was
| adopted and Mrs. DaviS'S name will
| be stricken from all future conSidera-
