In our boyhood days we were taught
not to rest our elbows on the table while
eating. For long years this has been
considered the correct construction.
Swell society, however, has decreed n
change. 1t is now the fashion to rest
your elbows and forearms on the table
when eating. 1T is recognized in the
east as good form and ar test of your
being fully abreast OF society fads. The
next innovation will probably be to eat
pie with a knife.

knew that he, was trying to shoot one
OF Wades band, but | could not see
him, but felt that the man was between
me and the creek Then | saw another
one of my men slip his gun to the one
whose gun kept swapping. He reached
his hand and took hold of the muzzle of
the gun and pulled it to him.
He raised it to his face and l thought
l never heard gun roar louder. He
shot at one of the robbers sitting on the
bank of the creek, but missed him. He
pitched forward into the creek and ran
down it towards the Yadkin. The creek
was so over hung with under growth
that we saw no more Of him. We SUI
posed he was then watching for our APP
proach If hel knew of our presence till
fired on we knew not. The warning he
got saved his life, for he did not return
to the fort. Our men kept up firing on
the house all day, and they returned the
fire at us. and shot with such accuracy
that we had to keep at a great distance
behind trees and dogs. In very few
minutes after the shot was fired at the
robber on the creek bank one of the
men from the east of the fort fired his
gunc to let US know that all were sta
toned Then such a yell was raised in
the fort as we never heard before nor
since The most fearful oaths. 1t was
more like the bowling Of devils, cursing
us and daring us to come on evidently
trying to make it appear that they were
there in strong force.
Night came on and it was a very dark
cloudy night Another counsel Of war was
held. Some advised that in view OF our
small numbers and the probability of their
bringing in recruits that night and sur
rounding us, that it would be the part of
wisdom to withdraw and wait till we
could rally greater forces. Others said
if we did not dislodge them then that
they would never return for another ef-
fort majority of us declared that we
could whip all the recruits that might
come and that we must stay till the fort
was taken, saying, Death is preferable
to- the miserable life which they are
causing 10 " ledu, anu AlNe VI VIZ loI

And in the darkness we constructed a
new line of breast-works nearer the fort
and keft on shooting at the house for
some time after dark. The enemy fired
no more after it became too dark for
them to see us. We had ipi our Alex
ander company man from Iredell county
by the name of Wallace Sharpe. He
went by the name of Wall Sharpe. His
station was near the spring and between
him and the fort and very near it stood
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-05-17

the old kitchen built of small pine logs,
covered with boards. and it was very old
and dry. Wall Sharpe, as soon as he
could see signs of approaching day. pull
ed off his shoes and very quietly made
his way to the old kitchen and pushed
some dry trash into a crack and struck i
match and touched it and then ran back
to his station. Soon the whole kitchen
was ablaze, and you may be sure that
no fire was ever more eagerly watched.
Very soon the sparks began to fall on the
roof OF the fort. And soon little blazes
sprang up here and there on the roof.
Our men raised a shout of joy.
And then the robbers raised yell The
cali for surrender by one of our men
was heard. They asked what we would
do with them il they surrendered. Wall
Sharpe replied with an oath: 1--WE will
kill the last one of you" They came
out with Wade in front. He raised his
hand and touched his hat as though he
would surrender and then darted like an
arrow down the steep hill toward the
river and so on through our line, our men
firing several shots at him, but it being
too dark to see not a single shot hit him.
He ran across the bottom to the Yadkin
river and hid under the bank of the
river. With all our searching we failed
to find him. He told some one after
wards that some OF our men came within
five or six feet of him. We tracked him
to the river, but could get no further
trace Of him. Such strides as he made
across the bottom, according to his tracks,
il did not seem possible to be made by
man. AS soon as the others came out
they were seized by the soldiers, and
for a few minutes it seemed that they
would be torn to pieces. They were in
the hands of men whose mothers, wives
and sisters they had insulted. The whole
company was for little time an infuriat-
cd mob. Then for the first time some OF
us were impressed with the fact that
there is nothing so much to be feared as
a company of men so enraged as to lose
their heads
Men were commanded to climb to the
top of the house and extinguish the fire,
so that sufficient time would be had to
ascertain what was concealed therein.
Property of nearly every description
was found Many fine dresses and ladies
hats which they had taken for the DISC
lutte woman who occupied the house.
Many fine horses were in the pasture

turned to their owners. Stakes having
been erected for their execution, thoy
were told that they must die. They
