popular demand that ways be
found to put a check upon this
cowardly crime of violence which
has become Sc common since the

ASKING STATE AID FOR ELECTRIC LINE.

DR.. W. P. Shipp, General man.
ager of the Blue Ridge Develop.
ment Company, is in Raleigh this
week in an effort to get the gen.
eral Assembly to pass an act Civ.
ing State aid to do the building
of the electric railway from Mt.
Holly through Hickory to oLenoir,
Blowing Rock and Boone, con.
Meeting with a line to Jefferson
and Ashe county. DR.. Shipp will
make every effort to get the gen,
eral assembly to set a date for a
joint hearing of the bill, and he
proposes that the several GOWNS
and communities through which
the proposed road is surveyed,
will each send a delegation to
Raleigh to appear before the COM
mittee.
The company has already sur.
veyed the right of way, and sur.
veyed the line. The cost of con.
struction and equipment h a $
been approximated. Six million
dollars, says DR.. Seipp. will
build q road and equip it. NJ
stock has been put on the mar
ket SO far, but people who live a.
long the route of the proposed
road are anxious that this step
be taken.
The people of Caldwell county
are thoroughly interested in this
pIoject and look forward to it's
ultimate construction. This road
would open up a section Of North
Carolina that is now cut off from
the State by the barrier of the
Blue Ridge. The proposed road,
if built, would connect at Boone
with the East Tennessee and
Weatern North Carolina railway
or points in Tennessee. At Todd,
just ten miles from Boone, il
| would connect with the Virginia
Carolina railroad, branch OF the
Norfolk & Western, and would
give them an outlet to the South
east which is so badly needed
1t is not known whether the
general assembly will entertain
DR.. Shipp's proposition or not
tits believed, however, that they
will set a date for the hearin. Fol
years there has been more Of
less discussion of reclaiming thu
lost provinces" and this pro
posed electric line offers the on
ly means through which the iso
lated countries may be brough
in touch with the State. Thu
State would derive great beneti
from this railroad. The Lenoi

ly come. They we're in full view
of him for some distance before
he discovered them, but when
they were about three hundred
yards from him he saw them and
instead of taking to his heels as
they expected he would, he
planted himself and deliberately
raised his gun and fired at the
leader, the ball striking him and
breaking an arm, and was pre-
pairing to shoot again, but they
instantly threw off their disguise
and succeeded in getting him to
see that they were not Indians.
He did not shoot the second time
and if he had he would likely
have killed one of them. The
young man that he shot had a
close call anyway, as it was hot
weather in the month of July,
and the wound was a bad one. So
that broke up the Indian business
for the summer.
AS before stated Fort Worth
at that time was a small town,
the county seat of Tarrant coun.
ty, and was situated on a bluff on
the south side Of the West Fork
of Trinity River. 1t was Originally
built as a fort by old General
Worth, and was usedas a protec-
ton against the Camanche Indi:
ans. 1t had a stone court house,
two saloons, three or four stores
with d population, perhaps, OF
two hundred. The merchants had
their goods hauled a distance OF
two hundred miles, from Mill
gan, a place somewhere in South
ern Texas. The hauling was done
in the summer and fall by teams
Of oxen, and it usually took q
month or six weeks to make the
round trip, as they grazed theil
stock all the distance. The teams
varied from five to twelve yobe

was nearer to Jegerson, Texas
the head of navigation on Ret
River, but the roads were no
nearly so good, and oxen coult
rot be grazed more than half the
distance, as Eastern Texas wa
heavily timbered. Lumber fo
building purposes was haule'
from that section. There wa
some timber along the waite
courses but none considered suit
able for saving TO
lumber. A great many of the oil
settlers built homes of logs wit
hewn puncheons for floors. SON

towns they built what the
called concrete, consisting c

Personal Rsep|Isetloas Of I Trip 10 Texas
In Pioneer Days, and Some Incl.
dents In Cow Boy Life In
tho West.
(By L. N. Perkins.)

Dy -. ~. CIhhh~'y
Soon after the Christmas holi.
days were over began to think
about getting employment OF
some kind in order to replenish
nv stock of money, which was
almost exhausted.
I had always worked on the
farm, but there was not very
much farm work done at that
season of the year. My uncle
with whom l had made my home,
advised me to 60 to town. There
was a man by the name of Frank
Adams who lived in Ft. Worth,
who, with his brother, owned a
herd of cattle estimated at 1000
or 5000 head. He thought that
Adams would give me employ
ment during the winter, and
when spring came and the cattle
business up there would be plen-
ty of work to do.
The young men who were rails
ed in the cattle section of Texas
did not work much at anything
but the cattle business, and dur.
ing the winter they did not do
much but hunt and sport about.
Those who owned farms would
try to raise enough wheat for
home consumption and depend
on cattle for their money crop.
The cattle then we're the long
horned variety and were uniform
in size and color, and were not
called beef cattle until they were
four years old. The price OF a
beef steer was $40. They were
not legal tender by law, but Gus
tom made it 50 if man owed you
$40, a beef steer payed the debt.
l had no trouble getting work,
the price paid being SIS per
month until April 1st, when my
wages were to be raised. The
herd of aattle belonging to the
Adams brothers was ranged in
Erath county, about one hundred
miles west of Ft Worth, and dur
ing the branding and gathering
season they worked ten or twelve
COW boys, but during the winter
they were left to take care OF
themselves while the cow boys
han a good time at home. The
Indians were very troublesome
at that time, and about so miles
west of Fort Worth you were in
the danger zone, and the COW
boys all went we'll armed. /,
was considered unsafe to traveI
alone so they usually went in
squads of a dozen or more. The
old settlers in that portion ol
Texas seemed to think that Tex
as was anindependentnationality
In conversation they would in
variably speak of Texas, and the
States. If new arrival came
into the county. he would be spo
ken of as coming from the State'
and if he did not understand th'
Texas customs he would be des
ignated as green from tn,
States" and if you wanted t,
make an old Texan fighting mad
just insinuate that he was greer
from the States.' 1t was consid
cred fine sport for the COW boy
to give a new man an Indial
scare, and they succeeded il
soaring one or two very badly
causing them to quit The COW bo,
business and seek other employ
ment. But the leaders in tina
business Caught a tartar in the
person of a tall, awkward lookinI
young man from the State of l
linois, who hired to the Adam
brothess to work at the cattl
businers. They at once set hir
down as green from the States
and decided to go for him in fin
shape. So, after he had learned
little about the business, one da
thew put him out on herd, lea,
