Sheriff Anderson and Frank Carper
returned Saturday from TT. Madison
where they had been with prisoners.
Mr.. Anderson says the boys from here
are all looking we'll and are feeling as
good as possible under the circumstances.
He tells us that Will Mclaughlin is one
of the best prisoners in the penitentiary
and that he worked five years on the
trip hammer in the machine room, but
on good behavior he has been given
easier work until now his work consists
OF seeing after the clothing of his fellow
prisoners. Mclaughlin is trusted and
has been outside of the penitentiary
couple dozen times. James Cunning
ham is now in the chair factory and is
we'll liked by the officers and is shown a
great many favors. Thos. Stafford is
one OF the BARRIERS and he also is trusted
to great extent and will be released in
February. Jordan and Chas. Jones had
not been assigned to any work when Mr..
Anderson left but most probably they
were put to work Monday.

w. +. Donaldson died at his home in
Extra Tuesday. He had been sick for "a
week or so with typhoid fever but was
not thought dangerous. His death came
with shock to his many friends over
the county. His wife is now lying very
low with the same disease. but the
doctor gives encouragement for her re-
covery. The funeral was today at the
M. e. church i'll this city. His father,
S. f. Donaldson, of Rock Island, and his
sister, Mrs. r. l.. Hamilton, arrived on
the train this morning. They came IN
answer to telegram announcing his
dangerous illness and did not know of
his death till they arrived.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
LOOMS and was very thoughtful, sym
pathetic and appropriate. The large
congregation was much impressed. The
music was beautiful. A large emblem
of pink and white carnations was on a
vacant chair near where the deceased so
often sat in the choir. Another floral
emblem given by the Ladies Aid Society
was there and many other beautiful
flowers. The pail bearers were from
young men who we're the deceased's
friends. At the grave the male quartet
of this city of which Mr.. Donaldson was
formerly a member, sang piece. The
funeral was largely attended, many being
here from Extra.
William F. Donaldson was born in
Polk county, Iowa, August l6, 1870.
He came to Lincoln township, this
county, with his parents in 1880. They
moved to this town in 1890. On January
s, 1896 he was married to Miss Jennie
Dawson with whom he lived happily
until his death. One little child, a
daughter, was born to them. They
moved to Extra last spring.
Deceased was a member of the M. E.
church, loving husband and father,
and valuable man to society. He was
man of splendid qualities, kind and
generous, man whose friendship was a
prize. The entire community is extend
ing sympathy to the relatives and
especially to the wife, and all are
solicitous that she may soon recover.

TRYING TO coERcE THE MILL MEN.
The Game the Railroads are Playing in Their
Tax Cases
fSnecial to News and Observer

Wilmington. n. c., March 3O.-The
railroad people in the tax assessment
case have by trying to cOerce the cot
ton mill men and small corporations
to help them bring about a compro-
mise. made n TACTICAL mistake. Know
ing that only one or two could be eX-
amined in day they summoned a
large number as far up the road as
Rockingham, besides having summon
ed the saw mill men, owners of fertil
izer factories and others around Will
mington. They pretended to regret
very much having to pry into the af-
fairs of these people, but said it was
necessary to turn on the light and in
vestigate everything fully. They put
on the stand as a witness Mr.. Savage.
secretary and treasurer of the Acme
Fertilizer Company, one of the few
independent fertilizer factories. They
asked him to exhibit the company's
books and to make a full statement
of it's affairs. He refused on the
ground that he was not willing for the
fertilizer trust to know his business.
The railroad folks then appealed to
Judge Simonton for an order requir-
ing him to give this information.
The next witness was Mr.. Norwood,
president of the Atlantic National
Bank. He testified, on behalf of the
railroads, that some deductions from
the book value of stock was allowed
by the county commissioners to Off
set any bad debts the banks might
have or other casualties of business,
but that after these deductions the
stock in his bank was assessed at 105
above par. This was all the railroad
expected to prove by Mr.. Norwood
and he was turned over the Judge
Connor for croSs-eXamihation. Judge
Connor brought out the fact that he
was a director in the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad company, and ask
ed him to state what WAS the par value
of q share of stock in that railroad.
what dividends have been paid on
those shares. what was the market
value, and what shares in other rail
road companies had been given to the
stockholders in the Wilmington and
Weldon as bonuses and additional di-
yidends. The railroads attorneys
promptly objected and said that 1T
was not competent to examine into
the affairs of the Wilmington and Vel
don Railroad, and asked that this OBJ
lection be certified to Judge Simon
ton for his decision. and the Master
did this. So the Master will trans
NIT to Judge Simonton simultaneous
~ n request from the railroads that
their books be closed and everybody
else's he opened.
