THERE WERE MANY STILLS.
In The Smith Country in The
Land of Stokes,
THEY SHOOT STRAIGHT THERE.
The First Bloodless Raid Ever ITade
' To That Country Took Place
The Other Night.
Captain T. H. Vanderford of the
revenue service is back in the city
again and alive as usual. Not every
iran who has gone where Capt. Van
derford did has been equally fortu
nate. On Monday night Capt. Vanderford
left here and going up Stokesward was
joined by Col. Chapman with a force
of ten men, making eleven in all.
This was just before day and before
the birds were up the posse, booted and
spurred, rode out into what is known
as the "Smith country" in Stokes
county. The Smith country ranks
along with Shelton Laurel in Madison
as being the most fertile moonshine
territory in the State. There are
many stills there. They mock the ol
factories of the raider on every breeze.
And there is menace and danger in
their breath.
The posse was acting on a straight
tip and found the stills flocks of them
but there were other warm tips out
and the wary moonshiner had his
share. Nestling cosily along the
streams in a radius of two miles the
raiders found eleven manufactories of
the juice that biteth. But only three
of them were in operation. The others
were silent and cold. The owners had
been warned. There were stills in
plenty, but very few Smiths, though it
was Smiths' country. Only six men
were seen on the entire raid lank
mountaineers slouching here and there
with eyes that were none too friendly.
Not a man was captured on the raid
and no resistance was offered to the
raiders.
Brave men and true have ridden
into the Smith country in days past
and have not ridden back. They died
with their boots on. No company of
raiders ever ventured into that coun
country before and returned without
having heard the sharp bark of the
long mountain rifle that shoots mighty
straight. There was Murrow, a brave
man, who rode into the country and
gave battle royal to the 'shiners but
his horse fell on him and he died.
Lewis ventured there and was shot and
Jim Smith had the same fortune. Be
fore these there were many who went
there and did not come back. Smiths'
country has a bloody history.
Capt. Vanderford says that despite
their number the stills up there make
less illicit whiskey in a year than
some registered distilleries do in this
State in a month. That is food for
thought.

think, will answer every purpose. Ta

Nomination Sent, to the Senate
This Afternoon
ALL OPPOSITION IS WITHDRAWN

ination of Hamilton Glover Ewart, of
North Carolina, to be United States

of North Carolina.
All opposition to the appointment of
Ewart has been wilhdrawn and there
is no doubt that it will be favorably
reported upon by the judicary com
mittee of the senate and Judge Ewart
will be promptly confirmed.
Judge Ewart is about 45 years old.
He was born in South Carolina and
removed when a child with his wid
owed mother to Hendersonville. His
mother married there a Mr. Rippley.
Shortly after the war he was register

irreproachable personal character and

than a lawyer. He is now judge of the
Western Criminal Court Circuit to
which place he was chosen in 1896.
UNCONSCIOUS FIFTEEN MONTHS.
Case of Suspended Animation ilade
Known by a Physician.
According to evidence- introduced
before Recorder Goff yesterday Wnu
Scott,former employee in thetrunk shop
under the Astortlou'se,: hw -been w
conscious for fifteen months as the re
sult of an assault.
Scott was injured on October 20th,
1896. His alleged assailants were soon
afterward indicted, but it was neces
sary to determine the extent of Scott's
injuries before they could be brought
to trial.
Yesterday an affidavit was handed
up to the Recorder made by Dr. W.
L. Ricard of Brooklyn, who has stud
ied Scott's case carefully.
"So far as I have been able to as
certain," the physician said in his
affidavit, "this is the strangest case of
suspended animation on record. I do
not believe that the injured man will
ever recover consciousness; neither do
I see that it is possible for him to live
much longer. Still, Scott has sur
prised every one by living as long as
he has."
The men who are accused of assault
ing Scott were employees of the de
partment of public works named Clark
and Schlesinger. N. Y. Sun.

EVICTING THE STRIKERS.
A New Chapter In the New England
Milling Troubles.
By Wire to Thb Tklbgbam.
New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 27 Seven
more families of strikers were evicted
this morning and were given shelter by
some of the other weavers. The possi
bility of a general strike is being again
discussed. The argument is being
made that all the mill owners' have
agreed to share in the losses of the
New Bedford corporations, and that
the only way to bring them to terms is
to have the weavers at all the mills
quit in a body.

BUNCOMBE REPUDIATES.
A Decision By Judge Norwood Yes.
.: terday.
, A special dispatch to the" Raleigh
Post" say 8"" " - - -
Superior Court Judge Norwood, at
Waynesville todaj decided that the
Buncombe bonds of the Asheville and
Spartanburg Railroad are null and
void.
A permanent injunction is issued
against the County Treasurer. De-
lend ants gave notice of appeal to the
Supreme Court.
Judge Norwood based his decision
the grounds that as the construction
of the Spartanburg and Asheville
Railroad was not begun until after the
election authorizing the subscription
and the issuing of the bonds was held,
and as the county had no pecuniary
interest in the road at the date of
making the subscription and issuing
these bonds, there was no legal au
thority for the holding of such elec
tion; that the making of the subscrip
tion and the issuing of the bonds with
question of the regularity of the pass
age of the act, did not enter into the
case.
The only act concerning the passage
of which any qpestion was made was
the act of 1877, attempting to ratify
the county's subscription. It appeared
that this act was not passed in the
manner required by the constitution
as construed by the plaintiff's at
torneys.
SKUNKS IN THE CITY HALL.
Public ilunlclpal Business Demoral
ized for a Time.
Cleveland, O., Jan. 25. Officials and
others having business in the Cleve
land City Hall were practically forced
to abandon their work today owing to
the fact that fully twenty skunks had
taken possession of the building.
A day or two ago a" party of boys
engaged in a skunk hunt on the .east
ern outskirts of his city. They caught
twenty-seven and started downtown
with them today, the skunks being in
boxes. When opposite the City Hall
the boxes fell and broke.
The skunks, thus liberated, scam
pered in all directions. Nearly all of
them found refuge in the basement of
the City Hall, which they entered by
way of the street grating. The result
was an interference greatly with the
city's business,.
Janitor Clarence Brown, of the City
Hall chased skunks around the base
ment all day. .Brown had a club and
wore 'a rubber .coat. He killed two
Three were killed at the Central Ar
.mory, and another was killed in P. C
Smith's barber shop, near the City
