One of the best preserved men
in the county for one of his age
is Mr Rufus T. Lenoir, Sr. He
is 84 years of age, and last week
instead of riding to town as usual,
he made the trip on foot from
his home in Yadkin Valley to Le
noir, a distance of ten miles. The
walk did not seem to tax his
physical strength, and after
spending a few days here visit
ing in the home of his son, Mr.
W. J. Lenoir, he made the re

Out east of town is a turkey
gobbler "sitting" contentedly on
a big bunch of eggs with good
prospects. The owner of the
eggs wTas unable to get a turkey
hen to do the mothering, so he
secured the gobbler. To make
the gobbler content the owner is
serving him with a ration of
whiskey soaked corn, keeping the
gobbler so jagged that he is un
able to walk off and leave the
"setting."
A phone message this after
noon brings the information that

miles from Lenoir on the Yadkin
river, was burned last night.
The loss is about $4,000, with
$2,000 insurance.
John Phillips dropped dead at
the Yellow Hill polling place last
Saturday. It was during the
election when the citizens of the
district were voting on the ques

schools and the last worthy act
of the deceased was to vote for
better schools. While he him
self was unmarried and childless,
he showed the unselfish spirit in
voting to tax himself for the chil
dren of his neighbors, the ma
jority of whom failel to do their
duty on this occasion. Deceased
was about 35 years of age and
had been in poor health for some
time, heart failure being the im
mediate cause of his death.
A logging train belonging to

which with vfive cars left the
track, leaving a great pile of
wreckage. There were about
thirty men on the train, but for

to Statesville on a special tram
Sunday and will be treated in the

Two elections were held in
this county last Saturday for the
purpose of voting on the ques
tion of levying a small tax to
have longer school terms. One
in the Yellow Hill district and
the other near Patterson. The
Yellow Hill district lost by five
votes, the other lost by four
votes. We believe these good
people made a mistake by voting
against this tax. Some of the
people in each district are want
ing another election held. Those
favoring the tax think a good
manv of the voters did not un
derstand this tax and it given an
other chance would vote for it.
We are informed that another op
portunity will be given them.
We hope and expect a different
report after the next election.
Statesville Drug Co. Celebrates Its An
niversary. Statesville Landmark, 14th.
The Statesville Drug Co.
fittingly celebrated the fifth an
niversary of its opening at its
store on Center street Tuesday.
The store was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with
white and pink roses and
carnations and the interior
presented a fine appearance.
During the morning free fountain
drinks and ice cream were served
gentlemen callers and in the
afternoon the ladies and children
who visited the store were served
tree refreshments. Every lady
and child who called were
presented with two or more
carnations and during
afternoon nearly 500 of
beautiful flowers were
away.
The business of the Statesville
Drug Co., which has been under
the management of Mr. L. W.
Mc Kesson since its establishment
has increased yearly since the
store opened five years ago, the
increase since the first year
being over 100 per cent. The
success of the company is due
largely to the ability and pop
ularity of Mr. McKesson.
This will be read with pleasure
by Mr. McKesson s many
friends here(his home town)and
elsewhere. J5ut his success in
Statesville is not a surprise to
any of us. We expected it.

Correspondence of The News-Herald.
As we have had a sensation, in
the way of a mad dog scare, I
will give you a few dots from
Connelly Springs.
A blue speckled setter dog
came through Granite Falls last
Thursday and bit several dogs
there, and came by Rhodhiss and
crossed the river and seemed to
have visited many homes, as it
went through the country and
bit several dogs at every home.
It visited Rutherford College and
Valdese and bit many dogs, some
very valuable ones, and was
killed in Connelly Springs Friday
morning after having bitten all
the dogs in the village. J. E.
Coulter sent the head of the dog
to Raleigh and received a tele
gram to the effect that the dog
was mad. A general slaughter
of canines began and as many as
35 dogs have been killed, and
more will follow this afternoon.
The people were fortunate, it
seems, as we heve not heard of
anyone having been bitten. It
is not known that Granite knows
that the dog was mad and they
will be notified this afternoon.
Mr. J. M. Sides, who has had
an attack of appendicitis, has re
covered without an operation.
Connelly Springs is waking up.
Rev. D. A. Goodman is building

The hotel here has opened up

J. E. Coulter, of this -place,
has just received a letter from
A. Coulter, who is
in Cerro de Pasco,
Peru, S. A., stating that while he
was on his run theives entered
his room and broke the lock of
his trunk and stole therefrom
$825.00 in cash and made good
! their escape. He has been try-
W. ; ing for some days to apprehend
Mc-: the eruiltv parties, but with no
success. He had sent home to
his father $1,025.00 and regrets
that he did not send all he made
home. He has been in Peru just
about a year, but is thinking of
coming back to the United States
about Oct. 1st, as the rainy sea
son begins about that time and
he don't care to encounter an
other. He is working on a rail
road having the highest altitude
in the world, the average
of which is about 14,000
feet above the sea, and in a
region of prepetual snow, with
not a tree to be seen on the en

miles from this line of road there
are oranges and lemons growing
in abundance.

SINCE APPOMATTOX.
The Victory the Sooth Has Voi iu
Defeat.
Newport. It. I., Herald.
This is the South forty-four
years after Appomattox. The
men of the old South went to
their homes after the surrender
and set to work in grim earnest.
They laid the foundations of
restoration firmly and deeply.
Their sons and grandsons have
carried on the work with
intelligence, energy -and effici
ency. To-day the South is the
most American part of this Union
of forty-States. There are no out
ward evidences of the havoc and
ruin wrought by four years of
civil conflict. The economic
regeneration of the South is one
of the most amazing achieve
ments of modern times. Aided
substantially as it has been by
other sections, the result is never
theless an enduring monument
to the invincible spirit and the
inflexible determination of the
men who many years ago at Ap
pomatox accepted the results of
war in good faith, and guided by
the wise counsels of their leader,
General Lee, buckled down to
work on the farms and in busi
ness and in the professions in the
spirit of brave and true men.
Peace hath its victories no less
renowned than war. One of the
finest pages in the history of the
United States is that which rec
ords the work of the Southern
men and women after Appomattox.

Asheville Gazette-News.
Charles H. Wing, a citizen of
Boston, who came to western
North Carolina a number of years
ago and locating in Mitchell
county, conceived and carried out
the idea of establishing a great
library for the use of the people
of the county, has donated the
library and building, according
to the Mitchell County Kronicle,
to Mitchell county. Tne library
was established about 14 years
ago and is known as the "Good
Will Library." Mr. Wing
erected the library building, a
handsome three story str ucture,
near the main road some six milts
from Bakersville and at a place
now. known as Ledger. He placed
in the library thousands and
thousands of volumes. The use
of the library was free. Any
passerby, any travele along the
highway, might stop there and
take from the library a volume
to read. It is said that not once
in these years has there been
failure to return a volume thus
borrowed. Mr. Wing has now
donated the library and the build
ing to the county of Mitchell.
that gold has
been discovered near Black
Mountain and already there is
excitement throughout that sec
tion over the prospect ot a
bonanza. That there is some
p-old in that vicinity is evidently
true lrom the tests of dirt taken
from some farms there, but yet
the deposits have not been found
to be in great quantities.
Another reason for believing
in this discovery is the fact that
there are no get-rich-quick spec
uUtors or boomers in Black
Mountain township and in addi
tion to this it is a minister who
declares that he has found real
p-nld.
As it happened m tne aiscov
erv of the famous gold mines of
the West, it happened also in this
case, by accident. In an
ahandoned pasture lot owned by
Rev. J. C. Coggins, a neighbor
was allowed to pasture his family

The Express Company a Great Robber.
Statesville Landmark.
The Fayetteville Index dis
cusses the extortion of the ex
press companies. The express
people are the most brazen, and
conscienceless robbers of all the
public corporations. They not
only charge a sufficiently high
rate at all times, but make a
business of overcharging, especi
ally on small packages, with the
expectation that the igorance of
the party paying the charges, or
his disinclination to take the trou
ble to force a readjustment, will
prevent any trouble, and usually
the expectation is realized. In
Asheville sometime ago the local
merchants association took up
this matter of express charges
and by some means secured
copies of the published rates of
the express company. When an
express package was presented
reference was made to the rates
before payment was made, and it
is said the saving in overcharges
by this method was astonishing.
Sometimes when express charges
are prepaid collection is made at
the other end of the line and of
ten this is never known, for the
reason that the consignee doesn't
mention it and the consignor
doesn't suspect it. The only
safety in shipping an express
package prepaid is to send the
receipt to the consignee, borne
of the things complained of may
be due to the negligence of local
employes, but the Landmark be
lieves that practically all the
fault is with the company, for if
the company wasn t reaping the
benefit of these overcharges it
would take the pains to stop
them : and the employe, who is
usually underpaid, could have no
motive m overcharging tor the
benefit of the company.
And we have noticed that on
many packages received by ex
press, prepaid, the rate is about
one-third of the charges where
the package is sent collect
These packages are usually from
the large cities, where there is
competition. But the rate should
be the same at both ends ot the
line. The small towns should
not have to suffer because there
is no competition in them. It is
an evil that should be remed ed.

An Interestiig Debate at Rutherford
College.
Correspondence of The New-Herald.
An interesting debate was held
in the Rutherford College audi
torium Friday night last between
the Valdese Literary Club and
Messrs. Merton Coulter, David
W. Lowman and A. L. Lefever
representing Connelly Springs.
Messrs. John Refour, John Ribet
and Garrou spoke for Valdese.
t The subject for debate was:
"Resolved, That capital punish
ment should be abolished," the
affirmative side being supported
by the Waldensians.
The speakers all acquitted
themselves excellently, and it
was with difficulty that the
judges determined which side
had the better side of the argu
ment. The Waldensians debated
with unusual skill, showing re
search and much study. The
speeches by Messrs. Lefever,
Coulter and Lowman were elo
quent orations, but the decision
was rendered in favor of the af
firmative.
A large crowd attended, among
whom were many Waldensians
who were visibly delighted over
the victory of their representatives.
The judges were Will Nelson,
Osborne and Arthur T. Aber
nethy. Hon. T. L. Sigmon,
representative of Burke in the
legislature, presided at the meet
ing, Mr. Ellis Coulter acting as
secretary. A.
