"LUCKY JOE" WILSON.
EPISODES IN THE CAREER OF A NORTH
CAROLINA EX-CONVICT.
"Free, thank God !" was the exclama
tion of "jjiicky Joe" Wilson when he
was discharged from the penitentiary.
With other convicts ho had worked on
farms near this place, says a Weldon
special to the New York Times.
"Lucky Joe" is a white man, and eight
years and six months ago he was con
victed in Yadkin county for horse
stealing. While an appeal was pendius:
Lucky Joe" grew sick in jail, and became
worse until his life was despaired of. He
was attended by the county doctor, who
finally pronounced him dead.
He was prepared for burial and laid in
a coffin. At night a light was put in
the room, the door was locked, and the
supposed corpse was left without watchers.
The next day, when the Sheriff and his
assistants went in to carry out the re
mains for interment, the casket was
empty and "Lucky Joe" could not be
found.
It was found that the supposed dead
man was making tracks for Tennessee,
Knowing that he would be pursued
"Lucky Joe" took another horse without
leave of the owner iu order to facilitate
his escape. The feeling against him was
so great that a plot was made to catch
him and bring him back. His family
resided in Ashe county, and after persis
tant watching of the trails he was run
down in Tennessee. He was brought
back and lodged in Yadkin county jail,
His appeal was overruled, and he was
sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary
He had saved some money and made the
most strenuous efforts to secure executive
clemency, but without avail. He served
eight years and six months, and gained
one year and six months by good be
havior.
"Lucky Joe" served all through the
war under General Stoneman and was a
brave and faithful soldier. His bad
conduct after the war was duo to vicious
associates and excessive use of liquor,
While in prison he made application for
a pension, which was granted, with
$4,000 back pay. This money he de.
posited in the savings bank at Raleigh
where it now is.

The rumor comes by the cable that tho
Wuldenses, the peculiar religious sect in
habiting a mountain valley slope of the
Italian Alps, aro contemplating leaving
their European homo and settling in
North Carolina. It is suid that at their
recent synod they decided to send two
delegates to that State to investigate its
advantages. If their report is favorablo
the entire sect will probably remove
there.
Such a movement would bo one of the
most remarkable on record. Tho Wal
denscs are, no less than the Jews; a "pe
culiar people." In their mountain home
in Europe, they have preserved intact
for hundreds of years tho Protestant
faith, upholding it against the pressure
of Catholic surroundings and often in the
face of violent persecution. They con
