HE LOST FIVE CENTS.
How Il Davie Farmers Bad Tobacco Oc-
casioned him a Serious Disappoint-
nent.

A Davie County farmer rolled into Win
ston a few days ago with a load of tobacco and
after paying Warehouse charges found that
he had only realized the sum of SO cents
for his entire crop. The old man says, "yoa
can talk about raising tobacco if you want
to but l will take raising small grain in
mine hereafter. Just think of it, my fer
riage coming over was 80 cents, making 60
cents going and coming. 1t would have
been money in my pocket had I remained
at home. Nevertheless l am here and have
seen great many things that would not
have SEEN" The old farmer walked off look
ing as jolly as though he had received
handsome sum for the weed. The tobacco
referred to could not have been in !. worse
condition and the fact of the business was
our buyers did not want it at any price but
merely bid it off as an accommodation to the
old man. The old gentleman started out
for home saying that this world was full
of disappointments," and somebody else
might have added, pretty thoroughly stock
ed with bad tobacco.

AT wAHE COURT.
Politics in the Raleigh District.-H. A
London, of Chatham, regarded as
the Dark Horse


STAFF Correspondence of the Sentinel
RALEIGH, July 13.-Superior court is in
session here this week, Judge Phillips pre-
siding: This term is for the trial of crimi-
nal cases only. The crowd in attendance is
very small. owing we suppose to the condi-
ton of crops arising from SO much rainfall.
The growing crops are looking well con-
sidering the great amount of rain and
the consequent limited cultivation of them.
If the rains should continue a few weeks
longer there will be pretty fair crop made.
Wheat has been damaged in the shock some
but not so much we hope as was at once
feared.
Politics are warming up little here, and
Notwithstanding the late rains and the
abundance of grass there are still few per-
sons who are willing to make the sacrifice
to serve the dear people. 1t is difficult at
this time to say who will succeed Gen. Cox
after.st 4th of next March. We hear III. A.
London spoken of as the dark horse in case
the fight should wax too warm between the
other asplrants. TRAVELLER.

Accidental Shooting.

On last Friday morning Mr.. Robert
Brown, a young man of 81 years of age and
son of David Brown, Esq, came to his death
very suddenly--supposedt to have been caused
by the accidental discharge of a pistol. The
particulars as we learn them are about as fol-
lows: The young man was sitting in the
door, supposed to be loading his pistol
His mother had gone to the spring and
his sister was in the house attending to
domestic affairs when she heard the
report of the pistol, at this the dogs
barked piteously which caused the
young lady to run to the door and reaching
him asked if he had not shot his dog, but
receiving no answer and seeing him leaning
over as If he was hurt, the girl ran in search
of her mother who at once returned and
asked the young man if he was hurt, to
which he replied Eyes" This was the only
word he uttered and turning over he soon
bre.thed his last The ball entered near
his eye and lodged in his head near the
brain. His remains were inferred Saturday
IN the Liberty graveyard. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. II. A.
Brown.

The Normal School now in session at the

taking gentle doze on railroad sill,
awske to hear the passenger train thunder

smash up on the left corner OF the sleeper.
We hear of great many accidents, the
doctors are all busy with the sick people,
and there is no end scarcely to the deaths
large proportion of the sickness is caused
no doubt from the super abundance of rain
which is falling almost every day. The
farmers are complaining of grass which on
account of the wet weather cannot be gotten
rid of; and to add to their dilemma comes
the hailstorms. the storm last
