Another chapter was written 1
in the lightning-tragedy jof Au
gust 6 near Mt. Airy, killing £ j
men, wlien A. J. Little died in a j
• Winston-Salem 'hospital Wedae.v
day following a tractor accident
on Dan river near Pine Hall. ,
The last issue of the Reporter
told of the fatal affair near
Dofoson, in Surry county, when
a stroke of lightning killed
Robert Welch, white,- and Henry
Davis, col., of Pine Hall, and
Paul Russell, col., of South
Carolina.
men were returning with
i tmill from Surry to Pine
liu~, .iiokvj county, when caught
ia a storm with the fatal result'
as mentioned above.
A J. Little, one of the owners
of the sawmill and who was with
the party killed by the lightning,,
but who was unhurt, died
hoevjj!
tal as the result of injuries rec
eived when a tractor turned over]
on him in Dan river near Pino
i
Hall this week.
It seems that Little had been
plowing some land and after
finishing the work, attempted to
drive his tractor across ths
stream. When near the bank :>n
the opposite side the machine
reared and turned over catching
Little under the steering wheel
and crushing his abdomen and
breast. He was accompanied by
Dave Tuttle and a young man]
I 1
named Welch. The latter he'd
Little's head above the water for
nearly an hour to prevent hU
drowning until help could arrivo
to lift the machine.
Mr. Little, who was 38 year 3
old, was in a critical condition
when he was removed to a Wins-j
ton-Salem nospital where he died
some hours later.
The ill-fated crew of 8 men
with the sawmill that went from
Pine Hall to Surry county, is
1
survived by Glenn Beale, Char
les Neale, L. D. Blackwiell and a
I
brother-in-law of Beale, name
not known, four in all. The other 1
four are dead.

WANTS OUR

CORDIAL INVITATION TO j
PALMER-BEASLEY BAND TO I
GET ON THE AIR WE
SING AND PLAY LIKE
QUEEN ELIZABETH'S MINS
TRELS.
August 18, 1936.
Mr. N. E. Pepper,
Editor and Publisher,
Danbury Reporter,
Danbury, North Carolina.
Dear Gene:
I thank you very kindly for
your editorial in the issue of
August 13th. We certainly would
like to have Palmer, Beasley,
Tucker band on our Carolina
Jamboree, which is put on every
Saturday night by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, at the
Sportsrena, in Greensboro. This
program runs from 10 p. m. on
.... sometimes until two in the
morning. We have sometimes as
many as twenty bands and we
would like to have them repre
sent Stckes county on Saturday
night, any week.
Your editorial was a master
piece. Whatever the highbrows
say, at least 90% of the people
•ike old-time mountain and cow
boy music, and your description
was something fine. String
music is for the pure in heart,
and cannot be appreciated to
the fullest extent by the rr.orr.".
"tunted. I am glad to s?e that
you have not gone back on youv
-aising to demand a sjmphony
orchestra.
We get about a thousand post
cards anj letters each month
written :n pencil, in appreciation
it hillbilly music. Many of them
request hymns and mountain
Tongs. If I could write as- you do.
I cou'd almost write a poem o.i
'.his. We try in every way pos
sible to 'fill every request. You
know, this kind of music
exactly the same as that the old
minstrels sang before Queen
Elizabeth and other rulers, hun
dreds of years ago. They all t-'
a story, of some ~ victory or
tragedy.
Very sincerely yours,
EDNEY RIDGE.
