Two dynamite cartridges, eight or
ten inches long, we're found on the
trastle across the Yadkin river Mon
day morning.
The Mocksville train was stopped
lust before it reached the trestle and
the party who found the cartridges
gave them to Capt Hawkins. He
brought them to Winston in his
pocket.
The genial conductor was asked for
particulars after he arrived here, but
he declined to discuss the m after, say
ing he did not think it amounted to
much. The Captain told the reporter
that he did not think the cartridges
would have done much damage had
the train run over them.
MIR. K Clement, of Mocksville, who
was a passenger On the train, stated
to the reporter that considerable ex-
citement wac created when the train
stopped and it was learned that dyna-
mite had been found on the trestle. He
did not know the name Of the party
that made the discovery, but Mr.. Gle
ment was Of the opinion that it would
have done considerable damage had
the train struck it. Capt. Hawkins
knew the name of the man who said
he found the cartridges half an hour
before train time, but he declined to
give if.

Judge Coble Grants a Temporary In
junction.
Mr.. L. M. Swink, attorney for the
town Commissioners Of Stoneville, has
secured temporary Injunction from
Judge Coble restraining the sheriff Of
Rockingham county from levying or
collecting any tax to pay on the bonds
for S., 600 which were voted for the
building of the Roanoke & Southern
Railroad. The bonds bear date Of
January l, 1889.
1t is not known when the case will
De argued, asking for permanent in
junction. 1t is understood that Judge
COble, for good reasons, prefers that
it be argued before another Judge.
Mr.. SWink thinks he has strong
case and that there will be no trouble
in securing an Injunction. 1t appears
that the charter OF the town obtained
in 1877 allows the Commissioners to
levy taxes for internal improvements,
streets, etc and the plaintiffs in this
action claim that they had no author
ity-none having been amended to
levy tax for the payment Of bonds to
build or aid in the construction of

half of that institution.
The speaker emphasized the impor-
lance of the work of disseminating
the Word of God Placing the Bible
in the hands OF the people underlies
every department of the church's
work This Is the work the Society
is doing He then referred to the
benevolent nature of the Society,
which makes no profit and supplies
the Work by gift to the destitute He
dwelt upon the missionary character
of the society and the great results
accomplished thareb by. Finally he
plead for support because of the pres
emit necessities of the Society. In
the last few years contributions have
sadly fallen off. In the past the So
ciety has relied largely upon legacies,
an uncertain source. Now the Society
finds it necessary to withdraw the
twenty-one district agents from the
field, the necessities are so pressing
and great. He plead With the copgre-
CATION to give the Society the help 1t
needs in this hour Of distress.
At the close of the address, a prayer
was offered by the acting pastor, Rev.
w. III. Groves, after which a collection
was taken for the Bible cause
