ENOUGH TAXES ALREADY.
Wurcuarp, N. C., July 14th, 1897,
Epiror ReFLecTor:"We are call-
ed upon to yote away some more of
tte peopleTs money. Our taxes are as
high as the luws of the State will per-
mit, an~ my advice to all is vote for
law taxes and better laws. We have
too many money hunters, too many
offices and too many bad men filling
them. J want to see a change for the
better.
It is time for the people to louk and
sze what they are doing, They have
been promised much and received
nothing. It is time to get together and
wotk for the poor tax payers.
There are some who have voted
the best State and county
ernment that ever existed, and now
want the people to vote the money out
gov
of their own pockets.
We aie poor, and never can prosper
so longas the people are under the
rule of bad men and bad laws. It is
time the people were opening their eyes
and secing where we are drifting to. :

An Electric Fi bing Reel.
A local genius at Columbus, Ind., is
said to have invented an electric fish
inc reel which is bighly successtul
from one pint of view and very de-
structive from another. As described
in a dispatch to oThe Journal,� there
_ js inclosed in the tishing line a small
wire which is attached to a battery
near the fisherman or executioner and
connecting at the other end with the
hook. When the machine is in action
the moment the fish touches the hook
it receives a shock that kills it. It is
said that cighty pouads of fish were
killed with the machine in an experi-
mental trial of a few hours,
___ , The inventor seems to be ingenious-
- lydiabolical. Asa means of kiiling
fish, it may have all the uwerit claimed
i for it, but it is enough to make old
Izaak Walton turn over in his grave,
' if there is enough of him ieft to turn,
or rise to indignantly protest. A
machine that destroys every element
of sport and gives the " person who
manipulates it every possible. advan.
over the fish has nothing to
ind it except its capacity for

eas dynami~e, and

Found After 34 Years,
At the second battle of Brandy Stas
tion, Va., in June, 1863, Cennally T,
Litebfleld, of this place, the gallant
commander of Company D, First
Virginia Regiment ot Cavalry, received
a pistol-shot wound in the face, from
which he has suffered ever sce and
which has beeu remarkable in many
respects.
The ball wasa 44 calibre, conical,
and entered the nostril below the
bridge of the nose ou the righe side,
and striking the cheek bone, glanced
upward and inward and disappeared
from sight and irom reach of the sur-
geons probe. The vonciusion of the
sutgeon was that Captain Litchfield
hud either swallowed the ball or that
it hud gone out through his open
mou.h. In both conjectures he was
wistaken.
For many years Captain Litchfield
has sufferea greatly from what he sup"
posed to be catarrh, and he resorted to
the use of many special remedies, be~
sides trying faithfully and long the
Springs. From all these costly ex-
periments he only received temporary
relief. He lost the s~ght of one eye
aad bore the uismal prospect like a
hero, until several nights ago, in an
attempt to relieve himself ot the dis~
treasing accumulations in his nostrils,
the long lost pistol ball dropped into
his mouth, and now the old scldicr
looks as it he had taken a new leas: of
life."Abinedon, Va., Citizen.

fleavy Turkish Fire.
2 must draw attention to that fea
ture of the Turkish tactics which
stampe\ the war of 1877 with 4
character of its own, a feature evi-
dent in all sections in whrch I took
part, in none more than in the one
under discussion. I refer to the
quick fire of the Turkish infantry,
of such power, duration and effect
as had never before been dreamed
of. General Todleben wrote later,
oSncoh a shower of lead as that with
which the Turks hail our troops has
never before been employed as &
mode of warfare by any European
army.TT It was more instinct, ex-
perience, silent consent and confi-
Gence in their weapons than tralping
or formulated rules which indwoed
the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt
this mode of fighting. I had wit
nessed quick fire drill in Widdin, but
I venture to say that it was not un.
til after the first battle that the cffi.
sers became really conscious of the
terrific power of long sustained quick
~ire.
Our orders were briefly as fol-
Jows: ~~As soon as you know or sup-
pose the enemy to be within range
of your rifles cover the space pre
sumably oacupied -by him ar pre
sumably to be traversed by him
with quick fire, independent of dis.
