4 :! :i rfirtl mm uj I til XXXIV MOUJfl AIRY, WORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY OCTOBER 0, 1013. WO. Lj - i MIGHT HAVE GIVEN EIGHTH DISTEICT TO REPUBLICANS. 'firje-akf' Bill Introduced By "Radical" Representative frtm Wilkee is Caught. , Raleigh, Oct. 2, 191.5. A seat in Congress w.i possibly saved to the iVmfK'ratjt by the art ful scrutiny of member of the judiciary c-mmitfee of the North v" Carolina Senate yeMterdav after- num, when thitt committee, not dlsped to take: things "for granted" examined carefully a bill that had passed the- House tuul discovered that it would transfer Wilkes county from the Seventh t the Kij? hth Congress , ional dUtrict. Trim "weak" bill wan intro duced in the; House last Satur day, September 27, by Repre serrtafriva Linville Dumgarner, of Wilkes county, arid was pas.'! on its second and third readings Monday, September 2!, accord itig to endorsement on the back of the cover. There is no en dorsement to .show that it had received the attention of any House committee. When the bill went to the fienate, it wa referred to the Judiciary Committee. When the committee yesterday went to corider the bill, it was read. and as a precaution Senator Les lie Davis took; the pains to lot-k HP the references to ascertain what would be iH effect, anl foinid that it would not only do "what the caption 'mdieattd, but would transfer Wilkes county from the Seventh, to the F::ghth (Vri g regional district. i The Possible Effect. As the Republican majority in "Wilkes comity is large arul the Democratic majority in the Eighth Congressional district normally is small, the transfer , would puil4y have resulted in the election of a Republican to succeed Congressman R. L. Donghton in 1914. The Republi can majority for Congressman in Wilkes county at the last elec tion was 1,12s. The majority re ceived by ('ounriwmari Doughton over his Republican opponent in the election of 1912 was :l,102. which -is above the normal for the district, even when it goes Democrat ii. Thus explains the Kir;os f the ".sneak" bill. When the Senate ci.rnmitee nude the discovery it named Senator W. K. Dauie! ot draft a report, advuing the Senate of the circumstances. The committee will meet this rnorniig. The re port IS expected to include A .'(athitiir denoting m nt of such methods of b-vislat ion, nr:d it i.s expected that the Senate will be askd to .spread the reort on the journal. Tu, bill is House bill 124 and Senate bill 22:!. Its caption reads : The "Sneak ' Bill. "A bill to be entitled an act relative to Wilkvs eountv, to re peal chapter 'X of Public Laws of 191:?, and amend Public Laws .f 1911." The bill is neatly typewritten id covered, ami reads: "Tlw (ieneral Asm mbly of North Carolina do enact: "Section 1. That chapter .Vl.'l of the Public Ijhws of 1913 be and the same is hereby re ealed. "Sc. 2. That the word 'Wilkes in line eighteen, chapiter iiin-tv-even of Public Law.s of l'.Hl be stricken (tut, and that the word Wilkes' b inserted at the ei.d of liuh- twenty-one of .said chapter "Sec. :t.

About the time of the a ciderit the bull left the farm and aorne -nt caught him roaming! ftlut the neighliorhood ant car ried him U Mr. Rerce home at RoirWord. Mr. Reece. tied him in the barn lot and expected h"a new owner to come for him at once. The animal had not l)een vicious up to that time and no one hal any spen-uil fear of him. About eleven o eiock Mr. Reece went out into the barn lot and gave the animtal some feexl and while in the a-t of aijustiig the chain by which he was tits! he bxiked ami th Imll was in the act of nukinjr a lunge at him. He saw that the bull was so near him that the only chance to eneApe the mad rush was to jump clear over him. Mr. Reece is a large, active man and he .sjrang directly at the onrush ing animal ant came near jumpirg clejtr over his body.

Thomas Toshsky, prisoner since Friday of lat wisek in an abandoned chamber of the Conitnental mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany walked into the open air a fre anf comparatively well man at 22 minutes before M o'clock this- morning. He was taken to h'us home in Centralia threv miles, away fnnn hLs underground pris on, and at once put to bed, ap Ju.rent.ly none the worse for his rem.irkmhle ex.p,rienc. It was 7:1. 'c'IH-k when the Lwt barrier of coal was driven &way and Tosliesky crawled! through the opening from his pris on ehanuher info the tunnel which haI leen steaitlily driven toward him by eager willing rescuers. Seven minutes after the first in timation w-a.s given to the out sidr? w or 11 that the big task was completed and the prisoner was free. Thus was when a miner era whit to the mouth of the tun nel an.l railed to the top of the pit for blanknts and hot water to he sent down. The workl of getting the man ready for his exit occupied the next few minutes and at 7 -MA o' clock a file of men emerging from the heading heralded the approach of the hero of the oc casion. Toshesky came frcm the hole with a gray blanket wrap ped about his shoulders. Hack of hiirn was a miner with haraLs upraised ready to assist if he houlj be needed, but Toshesky 'alkejl with astonishing agility consider'sig his exprierk'e. When he stepped onto the W(xxlen platform jiest out-idc of the mouth of the riarrtw tunnel ar was first able to stand up right he paussl for an in.st.4iit Tim! looked upward, as if in greeting to the world or scan ning the srtee.p and muddy zig tu.rz Path which led to the apen- "Hi'the"-4Ti?rfeTTnhr- 'His miners cap was on his head when he crawled through the cpetmg of the tunnel and greet ed h'w rescuers.
