HISTORICAL EVENT REVIVED.
Exhumation of the Remains of the
Late Sheriff Wiley nt Tajlorsville
Recalls Career of Man Who Play
ed Romantic Part in the Early
History of the State.
Charlotte Observer.
Taylorsvllle, July 7. Mr. Eugene
atz, son of the mayor of Hickory,
yesterday exhumed the remains of
his grandfather, the late Sheriff Wi
ley, of Caswell county. Mr. Wiley
died twenty-three years ago on a
farm one mile from Taylorsvllle
owned by the late R. F. 25. Llnney.
Years ago Mr. Wiley was the rich
est and biggest-brained man in Cas
well county. He, with several other
prominent officials of tbe county, be-l
calue involved in the murder of
"Chicken" Stevene, whose only crime
was that he was a Republican, and
Republicanism in those days in North
Carolina meant criminality. Gov
ernor Holden occupied the guberna
torial chafr at that time, and his
subsequent Impeachment resulted
largely from this trial.
An inexorable fate seemed to pur
sue Mr. Wileyand his colleagues ev
er after, and friends, riches and re
nown turned to dust and ashes at
their touch.
He lived at Statesville for a while
connected with the warehouse: at
Hickory as policeman and Anally
died in poverty at Taylorsvllle. His
remains will be placed by the'eideof
his wife who died ten or twelve years
ago at Hickory. Thus est the ashes
of the last actor In onV of the most
stirring tragedies enacted in North.
Carolina history, in which were in
volved tbe honor and lives of more
than a dozen officials, from the one
who occupied the Governor's chair to
the smallest county officer.

terest by Gaston coirntlans;
Work on the link of the Piedmont
Traction Company's lnterurban line
between Charlotte and Kings Moun
tain Is being rushed all along the
line and the grading is being rapidly
completed. Some of the sub-contractors
.have completed their work
and.lt will be only a short while now
before the grading on the entire line
will be completed. There are en
gaged In the work five steam shov
els, more than 200 teams and prob
ably more than 350 men. The last
work to be completed on the line will
probably be the bridges over the
Catawba river at Mount Holly and
the, South Fork, between Mt. Holly
and "Gastonia. Work on the piers
and abutments for both of these
bridges has been started and is
progressing with dispatch.
The laying "of the lron has begun
on the section between Charlotte
and Mt. Holly. Several car 16ads of
the heavy rails have been received in
the city and a large force of hands
has begun work, the first work be
ing the doubling of the track from
Lakewood Park to Hosklns. When
this is completed the line will be
continued on toward the river and
Mt. Holly and this first link will
probably be ready for operation in a
comparatively short while.
All the trolley wires, sub-station
and other equipment, including
freight and passenger cars, electric
locomotives, etc., have been ordered.
