Col. B0onc's Trunk Line,

The press and the people of Knoxville
appear to be greatly excited over the plan
for building great trunk line of railroad
from the coal fields OF that section 10 the
Carolina coast. In addition to the ad-
dress which Col. Boone delivered recently
before ths Knoxville Chamber Of Com
merce he has submitted to that body
paper giving some details Of the methods
by which he proposes to proceed in the
The plan by which he proposes to con-
struct the Knoxville Junction Terminal
and Belt Line and the Ohio River, Knox
Vile and Underwater is briefly outlined by
himself as follows:
First Securing charter for same, with
a nominal capital stock Of Sl00, 600 each.
Second. Placing this stock as promo
ters' stock and placing same among those
who are concerned to have these roads
built. I to issue my notes, to which
stock representing the amount paid in by
each subscriber shall be attached as col
lateral security. Said notes to be the
first lien upon the profits Of construction,
notes to call for the return to each sub
scriber Of the amount 80 paid in and
legal interest. Said notes and stock col
laterals to be placed in escro with
national bank, to be named by the SUBJ
scriber to the promoting fund.
Third. The money 80 secured to be dis
bursed by the board of directors, solely
for the purpose of perfecting the above
franchises to that point that capital will
be willing to come forward to finish the
work outlined. Surveys to be made to
know where the roads must be built, the
land for tho right of way then contracted
for; the mortgages to be executed and
recorded the bonds aud final stock
plates engraved and issues then printed.
While this is being done the syndicate to
finance these two roads to be worked up
by able and competent railroad fnan-
ciers.
Fourth. The Ohio River, Knoxville and
Tidewater Railroad to be constructed by
divisions-say four of them-to be known
as follows:
North of Knoxville to Kentucky to be
known as the "Coal Division"
South Of Knoxville to North Carolina
Slate Division"
Through North Carolina, Georgia and
South Carolina to Anderson, s. c., to be
known as the "Iron and Timber Divis-
ion."
From Anderson, S. c., to the sea, to be
known as the "Cotton and Phosphate
Division"
Col. Boone had first proposed to make
Port Royal the eastern terminus of his
road, but it is now understood that he is
undecided between that place and this
city. The advantages which would be
derived from having the road run straight
to Charleston have been brought to his
attention, and it is uncertain which place
will be selected should the road be built.
There is no doubt, however, that if built
the Ohio River, Knoxville and Tidewater
route would terminate either in this city
or Port Royal.-NeaDs and Courier.

This Is Remarkable.

Cov1NGToN, GA, March 5.-A remark
able circumstance is reported to the Star
from Rocky Plains district. in Newton
county, one which almost surpasses
credulisy, but which is told by gentlemen
whose veracity cannot be questioned.
On the 25th day of December last q
young hog weighing about It's pounds,
was missed by its owner, Mr.. Wesley
Mitchell, who was living on the Hollis
farm. and it could not be found any
where. 1t was pet hog and was finally
given up as lost.
On the farm there is an old dry we'll,
now about thirty feet deep, and on Wed.
nesday last, the 9th of February, as some
men were plowing near the we'll they
heard noise in it, and upon examina-
ton, found it to be the long lost hog,
which had been in there since Christmas.
Ropes were secured and it was soon got.
ten out, alive and all right, except that 1t
had become rather poor during its long
confinement in the well without food.
The hog is all right and hearty, with but
slight loss of flesh from its long fast of
sixty-fve days in the well.
This is the most remarkable instance
of the enduring qualities of the hog ever
heard OF, and>proves that Newton county
hogs are the best in tho world.

Dave Pearson the Moonshiner.

Last night, under the guidance of
Deputy Marshal Corbin, raiding posse
swooped down on Dave Pearson. on
Tomassee Knob. Pearson was most
comfortably fixed for the business. He
had prepared cellar under his residence
made up in it q 60. gallon still. A nice
little branch ran through the cellar,
which afforded an abundance of water.
The house chimney was so arranged that
the smoke from the still went out the
chimney. No entrance to the still except
through trap door in back room.
The still was cut up by Raiding Deputy
Bagwell, and about twenty gallons OF
whiskey and about two thousand gallons
of mash destroyed. Pearson and bis
wife fought like tigers, and before the
deputies had finished their work Mrs.
Pearson took to the woods. Pearson was
safely lodged in Jail here.-Ocomec NeUs.

- Thomas W. Winder, of Warsaw,
Ind, has started from New Orleans on q
trip around the United States on wager,
and to establish a record. The estimated
distance he is to travel is 2l,0O0 miles in
300 consecutive days, or daily average
of seventY-two miles day. He is to
cross thirty-three States and territories,
and 22O counties, visit 1884 cities, towns
and villages and register at seventy-six
points on the journey. His outfit will
consist of a wheel having changeablt
gear, powerful lamp for night riding,
automatic brake, 10,000-mile cyclometer,
clock and tent made specially for this
trip, the wheel acting as a pole and brace,
so that he may stop wherever he chooses,
the whole only weighing eighteen pounds
over the weight Of the wheel, which is
twenty-four pounds. lie will carry on
films for 500 negatives, this weighing five
brella for protecting his head in hot
weather. Mr.. Winder intends to keep
as near the line as possible, and will car
ry permit from the railroads for cross
ing on bridges and entering tunnels,
when it Is found necessary. 10 win the
wager, Mr.. Winder is compelled to earn
his expenses en- route, which he will
probably do by newspaper correspon-
dence and advertising.
Within the last few days, says the
Augusta Chronicle, the farmers have
begun to buy fertilizers in larger quan-
titles than they have been buying them
this season. This is shown by the in
creased number Of fertilizer tags that has
been issued within the last few days. 1t
has looked all this season as if the
amount of fertilizers to be used by the
farmers would not be half as large as
heretofore. The tags have been in great
demand since the pretty weather set in
and now it is thought that the amount OF
fertilizers that will be used thil year will
be over half as large as that used last
year.
James Fitzpatrick, the famous Der
by, Conn.,, hermit, was found dead in

pointed in love, and for forty years he
did not speak to woman. During this
time he lived as recluse in an old hut
in the suburbs. If woman approached
his hut be would run away and hide.
He was wealthy, but his money has not
yet been found.

Hon. William T. Wilson has wri

-
Hon. William l.. Wilson has written to
the New York World about the recent
Congress as follows: "This Congress
has accomplished a number of useful
things. II has repealed the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman Act and it has
passed tariff reform bill. The value Of
these accomplishments cannot be overes-
stimated. By repeating the silver pur-
chase clause Of the Sherman law this
Congress has laid the foundation for
sound financial system. By enacting
tariff reform bill this Congress has car
ried ont Democratic pledges. The House
particularly acquitted itself well in this
particular. The impotence Of Congress
IN. dealing with financial legislation dur
ing the session just ended was due to the
fact that under universal suffrage Con-
sgrass represented the people of the coun-
try. Congress is the mirror OF the peo-
;ple,s views. The people have not made
mp their minds on the financial question,
and Congress mirrors the different shades
OF belief and opinion. But a acampaign Of
education has been begun"

A 0Flyiny SWitch.v

A flying switch is not mechanical
contrivance. 1t is man9uvre of
railroad men, by which the locomotive
of train is run upon one track and
the train, or part of the train, is run
upon another track. When the flying
switch is to be made the engineer
causes the train to travel ut a consid-
cradle speed, the coupling between the
engine and the train is then undone,
and the engine, at n greater speed,
runs from the still moving train upon
the track already ready for it. Imme-
diately the engine hes passed the
switch points the switch is changed TO
throw the train, rraning with its own
momentum, upon another track. A
flying switch is also called running
switch. New York Dispatch.
