A Paper on Fort I'll amby.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Historical Society of Trinity
College, Saturday, Nov. 2nd, three
interesting papers were read, one of
which was presented by Professor r
l.. Flowers on Fort Handy, a Recon
struction Incident in Wilkes county.
This referred to a band of lawless
Federal and Confederate soldiers that
fortified themselves on the banks of
the Yadkin just at the close Of the
war and raided the surrounding coun-
try. They became so outrageous that
d band of the best men of that section
was organized against them. 1t con-
sisted of such men as Major Harvey
Bingham, Col. Q. w. Flowers, Hon. r.
L. Linney and Rev. w. w Gwaltney.
After a fierce struggle the fort was
taken and burned.

Good Word for Switzerland
From the Charlotte observer1

From the Charlotte Observer.)
Switz 'rland is the ideal republic.
Indeed, she is the ideal country.
Her mountains, her lakes, her eidel
weiss, her yodling highland lads, her
picturesque and simple folk we
always IdeaIzr. She is the ideal
republic. She believes in the grand
old doctrine of States rights The
information now comes that the
referendum, taken in Switzerland on
November 3rd, resulted III the rejec-
tion, by a large majority, of the
government proposal to centralize
the control OF the army. Tho
adoption of the plan would have
been to virtually deprive the cantons
of their existing share in the control
of the Swiss military forces. May
Capitalization of power always
stand as little show in the republic
of the United States as in the repub-
lie of Switzerland.

LAWLEssNE IN SURRY.
McBryde Broihers Attacked by an
Unknown Party-One Shot.
PRICE 5 CENTS

The News gives the particulars
of bad affair which occurred
in the Stone Mountains, eight miles
East of Mt. Airy, Saturday night,
Nov. Sd. Charley and John McBryde,
brothers, who live about six miles
North of Mt. Airy, were on their way
to Stokes county to visit their sister,
when they met party of five o. six
men in the road, said to be from West
field, going in the opposite direction.
Something was said about giving the
road when the Westtield crowd open
ed fire on the McBryde brothers,
some twenty five shots being fired
When the smoke cleared away il
was found that Charley McBryde had
been seriously shot His brother
John went to some residences in the
neighborhood and secured assistance
and moved him as far as possible in
the direction OF CreShman's, but was
finally compelled to stop with him in
the woods, where he remained until
next morning.
After the battle in the road the
Westtield crowd went to the residence
of Les Coins, dissolute woman living
near, and proceeded to demOliSh
things generally. They tore down
the chimney, knocked out one side OF
the house, broke up the bedstead,
threw all the clothing and bedding
into the yard, and made a bonfire of
it, and then set fire to the house. We
are not informed as to what became
of the old woman while this was go-
ing on. The house would undoubted-
ly have been destroyed, but the
crowd that John McBryde had aroused
arrived on the scene IN time to put
out the fire and save it,
Charley McBryde, the wounded
man, was attended by two physicians.
The ball entered above the right
groin, passed through the bowels and
lodged about an inch and half from
the back bone. The wound is d serious
one, and it is net imprUba ole that he
will die.
Drew Cook, William Adams, John
Owens, and two Reynolds negroes,
were arrested, charged with being the
perpetrators of the crime. They had
hearing Wednesday and all succeed
ed in proving alibis and were DIS
charged.

They Don't Do It.

According to section 3,506 of the in
ternal revenue laws, cigarette smokers
who throw paper cigarette boxes away
without first destroying the govern
ment stamps, lay themselves liable to
fine of $50 or six months imprison-
ment, or both. Not one smoker out
of Thousand does this. On the back
of every cigarette box will be found
caution, warning smokers to destroy
the stamps, but few people ever take
the trouble to read it. 1t is necessary
that a person shall be caught in the
act of throwing the box away before
he can be arrested.

THE OLD BATTLE OAKS.
On Has Died of Old Age and Will be
Utilized to Make Souvenirs.

On Has Died of Old Age and Will be
Utilized to Make Souvenirs.
OF all the trees which stood in the
forest at the Guilford Battle Ground,
March 18th, 1881, only two have sur
vived, says the Record. Both were
white oaks. One of these has been in
dying condition for several years
and is at last succumbed to the recent
severe drouth. After Drawing the
storms of century and half it has
at last yielded up it's life and would
soon have become a prey for the
worms and wOOdpeckers, but Judge
Schenck has determined otherwise.
1t must serve for another century yet
1t has been carefully taken down and
the noble trunk, four feet in diane
ter, will be sawed up into lumber, out
of which furniture will be made;
tables and chairs and writing desks,
and from the limbs will be manufac
tnred walking canes and other small
souvenirs.
The other old white oak has taken
on a new lease of life. Judge Schenck
took all the dirt from where he dug
the well and put it around the roots of
the tree and saved it. All the dead
limbs were cut away and new branches
are putting out all over it.
1t was from under the shade of this
venerable oak that CORVALLIS viewed
the destruction OF the Queens Guards
and death of the brave Scot, Colonel
Stuart, then reascending the hill he
ordered Capt. Mcleod to pour grape
sh ot into the meiee and separate the
combatants. BY TIL, heroic remedy he
was enabled to save one-third of the
noble Highlanders.
1t was also while standing under
this oak that Col. William Washing
ton saw him and ordered platoon of
his cavalry to charge upon him. A
limb caught the gallant Colonel's
helmet and delayed his approach for a
few moments, during which brief
space his lordship escaped the sword.

Mr.. Harris says that John McIver,
who stands charged with making an
assault upon colored girl, was the
first one to take hold of the door and
prevent the officer from closing it.
Mr. Harris remained in the Jail and
succeeded in driving the other prison
ers back in the cell. He tells The
SENTINEL that this is the first acci-
dent that has befallen him since he
