The work of canvassing for The
DAILY SENTINEL is going on steadily
and from the encouragement thus far
given, we can announce that the first
issue will appear shortly, if the pat
ronage extended to us increases at the
present rates. We are glad further to
announce that Mr.. JAS. A. ROBINSON,
formerly editor Of the Leader, of this
city and later, one of the editors OF
the Goldsborv Daily and Weeksy ar
gas has accepted position on the
staff of HE SENTINEL and will serve
in the capacity of City Editor of our
daily edition.
Mr.. ROBINSON will commence a
canvass of the two towns on Monday
next and we call upon every wide
awake and pnblic spirited citizen to
"chip i'm and aid us in making THE
DAILY SENTINEL as good daily news
paper as there is in the State. Win
ston-Salem, can do this if every man
who can afford to take daily will

rHE pREs1DENrAND THE SENATE.

THE NTAND THE SENATE
The question Of the right of Con-
gress to examine the public records
without regard to the wishes of the
President or his Cabinet still continues
to occupy much of the time Of the
Senate in Executive Session, and a
public discussion of the controversy
as to the respective rights of the exc
cutive and legislative branches Of the
Government in the matter of the re-
moval of Federal officers is probable.
The polite, but emphatic declination
of the Administration to submit to the
Senate the document in its possession
concerning the suspension of District
Attorney DUsKIN, of Alabama, will
result in lively debate on the rights
of the Senate and powers of the Exc
cutive.
In the meantime the combinations
of persons appointed to fill vacancies
caused by removals has been virtually
suspended, and the greatest anxiety
prevails among the new appointees
who are anxious that some comprom
Use should be made.

have the annual exhibit of the coun-

ed Independent, published by the de-
lectible DR.. YOUNG, because it offered
to do the work for less than what was
charged by The SENTINEL, the Re
publican, the Press, or the Kerners-

well established papers and circulating
generally throughout the county.
THE SENTINEL is as ignorant of
last years expenses of Forsyth county
as our correspondent, we have never
seen single copy of the Independent
containing the exhibit, and we are
free to express our belief that nine
tenths of the tax payers, who desire to
keep the run of county finances do
not sanction this kind of economy.

A RAPID RISE.

Little did JAMES GIBBONS think,
when he was in grocery store in
New Orleans about thirty years ago,
that he would one day wear the Car
dinaPs hat and be numbered among
the seventy princes of the Church of
Rome ; for only the wise and Jealous
ever attain that honor.
Little did the Rev JAMES GIBBons,
the priest, filing his pastoral charge
in suburban town near Baltimore,
think that such great hoLors were in
store for him. It was just twenty five
years ago when he was ordained to
the priesthood, and his first mission
was a lowly one. Were there not
eminent ecclesiastics ahead of him !?
And were there not talented priests of
his own age aspiring to the episcopate ?
Little did the Right Rev. JAMES
GIBBONS think, when he was conse-
Grated honorary Bishop and Vicar
Apostolic of North Carolina eighteen
years ago, that nineteen years later he
would be invested with the pallium,
and installed Primate of the Catholic
Church in the United States. Little
did he think when he was translated to
the See OF Richmond in 1872 that he
would have the honor Of presiding
over the Third Plenary Council, the
most imposing ecclesiastical body ev-
er held outside Of Rome.
But when the life of DIR. GIBBONS
is analysed bis rapid rise is not strange
The Cardinal-Prefect of the Propag-
anda at the Vaticars keeps himself
well informed as to the career Of
priests all over the world, was pi.,us
| faithful energetic priest, and when the
/ Sacred College decided to establish g
Vicariate in North Carolina the
Young Baltimore divine was selected
as the one best fitted for the mission O
Vicar apostolic. And after receiving
the nitre the Pope himself began t.
watch DR.. GIBBONS career.

UTICA, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Gov. Hor-
alto Seymour died last Friday, the
18th. Although he has been ailing
for some time, a fatal result of his i'll
ness was not anticipated by those who
best know of his condition and phys
ical qualities. He has had similar
severe attacks previous to this one,
through which his good physique car
ried him safely. On Sunday, Febru-
airy 9th, however, he became much
worse and on Monday suffered from
indigestion and nausea. On Tuesday
his symptoms were SO favorable that
he went out for ride. He said that
although he did not feel particularly
sick he had feeling of exhaustion,
such as he had never before felt:
Through Wednesday and Thursday
he grew steady worse, although his
mind as in the attacks of 1876 and
1882 was perfectly clear. On Friday
he partook of some food, and was able
to move about in his bed, inspiring his
friends with hope; but the improve
ment was only temporary. At p. m.
he grew worse, his pulse beating few
erishly, at a few minutes before ten it
became evident that he was passing
away, and at 10 o'clock, without a

THE INVENTOR OF THE TELEGRAPH
A NORTH CAROLINIAN.


The following extract from the
Washington correspondence, of Mr..
CIsERo HARRIS, in Charlotte O5ser-
uer will be read with interest by many
of The SENTINEL readers in this sec
ton:
Mr.. J. T.. Clelnmons, the venerable
and very obGging clerk of the River
andHarbor committee in the House, is
a native of Davidson county, where he
resided and was distinguished prac-
titioner of the law for many wears
Chairman Willis. Of Kentucky, mar
ried Mr.. Clemmon's daughter. Mr..
CIemmons himself is now citizen OF
Louisville and member of the Ken
lucky bar.
When / was youth I remember
hearing the claim made that Mr.. j. L.
Clemmons, of Clemmonsville, and not
Prot. Samuel Finley Breese Morse, of
New York, was the actual inventor Of
the electric telegraph that the won
derful discovery Of the principle was
made while Mr. G. was student at
college and that he communicated it
to those with whom he became ac-
quainted perhaps on an ocean voyage
and that the latter appropriated the
honors and subsequently, the emoIu-
ments. This story may not be true in
any particular. But think / will
question Mr.. CIemmons about it when
find him at leasnre.

struggle or tremor he died, surround
ed by his family, relatives and friends.
He died at the house of his sister, Mrs.
Roscoe Conkling in this city.
Horatio Seymour, IL. D., was
born in Bromdago county, New York,
May 31st, 1910. He was educated at
Geneva College and studied law, and
although he was called to the bar
soon relinquished practice, devoting
his time to the care of the large estate
left by his father and father-in-law.
In 1841 he was elected to the State
Legislature, and was reelected three
times, being Speaker in 1916. In
1912 he had been made Mayor of Uti-
ca and in 1852 was elected Governor
of New York, but was defeated for re-
election in 1854. In 1862 he was
again elected governor and opposed
the war policy Of the national govern
ment, but when the invasion Of Penn
sylvania took place in 1863, he prom
pity forwarded more than the quota
Of militia required from New York.
At the expiration of his term of SER
| vice he retired into private life and
was not again candidate for public
honors until July, 1868, when he was,
against his own will, nominated by
the National Democratic Convention
for President of the United States,
but was defeated by Grant. In 1874
he declined to be candidate for
United States Senator, although his
election was certain. Since that time
he has positively declined all nomi-
nations for public Office. If he would
have accepted the nomination he
would have probably been the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency
either in 1876 or 1880. His only pub
locations are some State papers with
some addresses on agriculture.
