Correspondence of the Democrat
Bandys, July 11,—The drought
was broken last week. Monday
and Tuesday we had good rains,
with some showers since. Corn
and cotton are growing since the
rain; cotton has begun to bloom
right along. Most or the wheat
is threshed through these parts.
The rain surely came in good
time for the farmers to get their
peas sowed. 1 notice most of
the farmers ai e cutting in their
peas with disc harrow. They
seem to be coming up good,
and are looking fine and healthy.
An aged woman, Lue Martin
is failing very fast, .We are
glad to know that Mr. A. A.
Hudson is on foot and has been
at work some.
Mr. E. E. Chapman went to
Newton last Monday and took
oath as deputy game warden for
Bandys, We all wish him well,
as some of the folks are raising
cane about having to put up their
dogs. Thed don't seem to like it
very much either. The fellows
call him Mr. Chapman the "Doer
Man."
An accident happened while
Mr. William Cook was plowing in
his corn this week; not noticing
the small kid at the end of the
mule while turning, knocked the
kid down and stepped on its hip
causing a bad looking bruise but
not serious.
According to the kitty dids we
will have frost first of October.
That is some what early for frost,
isn't it?
Dr. J. J. Hicks and family are
attending the saints meeting in
vour town this week. He is also
having his residence repaired,
and is expecting to move to Hick
ory this fall. We will miss Dr.
J. J. very much from our neigh
borhood.
The Corn Club boys are in good
heart about their corn. It sure
is looking fine. It loolfs now
like some one from this section is
going to carry off a prize.
Most of the folks are talking
of laying by corn pretty soon, not
saying anything about their cot
ton "case ye neber do get done
plowing cotton", says de lazy ne
gro. "JOLLY RILL."
The present incumbent. Pi of.
G. E. Long, was reelected countv
superintendent of education, and
Mr. W. C. Feimster attorney.
Mr. Long has made a very effi
cient superintendent and the
Democrat congratulates him on
his reelection.

Sheriff Wiley's Remains ex
humed.
Taylorsville special C harlotte Observer
7th,
Mr. Eugene Lentz, son of the
mayor of Hickory, yesterday ex
humed the remains of his grand
father, the late Sheriff Wiley of
Caswell county. Sheriff Wiley
died twenty-three years ago on a
farm one mile from Taylorsville
owned by the late R. Z. Lin
ney.
Years ago Mr. Wiley was the
; richest and biggest-brained man
in Caswell county. He with sev
eral other prominent officials of
the county became involved in
the murder of "Chicken" Stev
ens, whose only crime was that
he was a Republican, and Re
publicanism in those days in
North Carolina meant criminali
ty. Governor Hoiden occupied
the gubernatorial chair at the
time, and his subsequent im
peachment resulted largely from
this trial.
An inexorable fate seemed to
l pursue Mr. Wiley and his col
-1 leagues ever after, and friends,
riches and renown turned to dust
and ashes at their touch.
He lived at Statesville for a
while connected with the ware
house; at Hickory as policeman
and finally died in poverty at
Taylorsville. His remains will
be placed by the side of his wife
who died ten or twelve years
ago at Hickory. Thus rest the
ashes of the last actor in one of
the most stirring tradegies en
acted in North Carolina history,
in which were involved the hon
or and lives of more than a doz
en officials, from the one who oc
cupied the Governor's chair to
the smallest county officer.

"If Cataw ba doesn't get on the
central highway route,'' says
The Charlotte Observer "it will
be throught no fault of its county
commissioners, as is evidenced by
their determination to appropri
ate the SSO a mile authorized by
the highway act." The good
road's people of the State, hav
ing been told that Catawba is a
backwood county without roads
or interest in building roads, are
watching us. We've got to
make good or confess we are all
they have said about us. The
commissioners have set an ex
ample in progress for every citi
zen. We have got the wealth
to build roads and the Lord
them. And it's
"Now for the central highway
from the river to Burke." Let's
make a show that will be credi
table to the county.
