Such are the natural walls of Row

occurs four miles north of Salisbury,
and early in the present century was
known as Jacobs WALL" 1t was de
scribed by Prof. Olmstead in his geo.
logical report of 1925, as being eight
inches wide, running nearly north
west by southeast. Another on the
South Yadkin was described As "Rob-
ley's WALL" in the american Journal
Of Science in 1922, and in the Men,oi, $
Of the Regal Academy OF Science at
Paris, for 1918, the latter description
having been written by French trav-
eler who visited the wall in 1896.
Walls (dikes) quite similar to those
of Rowan are to be found in many
counties of the central and western
regions of the State They rarely ex-
tend above the surface of the ground
and excepting the few cases where
running water has washed away the
soil at the sides, one has to excavate
in order to ZEE the wall distinctly.

A writer fin the American Maya
zine gives very felicitous dcscrip-
ton of "a dancing party in the
sparsely settled portion Of Virginia.
These parties are events of great
importance, drawing friends and
acquaintanccs for many miles
around. They will come, perhaps

The method of travelling is ION
horseback" and as the roads are
bad and frequently bridgeless, the
journeyins must be done between
''sur up and dark. This would be
sufficient reason, if there were no
otI er, for keepi-g up their mcrrv-
making through the entire night, as
is the universal custom.
Old and young join in the dane
ing, which is only suspended for
he hearty supper at midnight, and

cakes, jellics, and tarts, which is fu-
rnished just before daybreak
AS the sun rises the visitors mou-
Mt their horses and start on their
homew ard journey, perhaps Of ma
ny hours duration. 1t seems like
paying severe penalty for few
hours enjoyment, but these tough,
hardy settlers do not wilt physically
as easily as our modern, hot house
society plants.
In the log cabin days of the early
settlers in the northern states, the
all night dance was a common fea-
ture Of social life, and old and young
for miles around, were participants.
They were q hardy race, perhaps
because they enjoyed themselves,
took plenty of exercise and but
little mediciue. They enjoyed a
rugged old age, brsause they found
medicine for their simple ailments
in natures remedies, the roots and
herbs Of nearby fields and forests,
which cured them, and left no aft
er i'll effects.

ANCIENT WALLS IN NORTH CAR
OLINA.
Special Correspondence to The Sentinel

Special Correspondence to The Sentinel
The SENTINEL of January 18th,
contained an article, "Were They
Here Before Columbus" which call
ed attention to ancient walls" having
been discovered at several different
places in North Carolina and sug
gested that perhaps might be able
to give some information concerning
the builders of these walls.
Although I have just received my
copy of the paper, SO long time has
e'apsed since it appeared, that prob
ably the writer Of the article has eth
er forgotten all about it, or concluded
that / have no satisfactory explana-
ton to offer. IF the latter be the case
he is not much in error. As to the
walls mentioned as having been dis
covered near Cronly, ON the c. Z. r.
r., near Fayetteville, in Cumberland
county, and in the vicinity of Ashe
vile, I have not seen any of these,
and at present can offer no explana
ton of their origin. | would be very
glad to hear from your correspondent
more about their character and extent.
It the hand of man had anything to
do with their formation, it is natural
to suppose that they were built either
by early white settlers, or by the In
dams, who if, as is supposed, they poss-
essed ingenuity enough to operate
mica and copper mines, could surely
gu try rock and build walls.
AS to tie "ancient walls of Rowan
and other Counties however, I can
speak from personal knowledge, and
with SONS degree of confidence az to
the correctness Of my explanation,
notwithstanding the fact that they
were sbefore Columbus" and before
Adam. The walls of Rowan have
been correctly described as Natural
W-l'a,' and their origin is to be cx-
planned as follows:
Cracks or tissues were formed in
the earth's crust from a few inches to
several feet il width, extending as
openings along the surface, fir dis
lance Of someLimes several mics, and
from the surface downward to I'M
known depths, to the region where

THEARTFUL DoDGER CAUGHT

We invite the attention OF every
Democrat and of every honest Repub-
lican t. the extract from Mr.. Kenna's
speech, which we publish IN the first
page of this Issue. Mr.. Kenna is
from West Virginia He is one OF
the youngest Senators, yet he is more
than a match for "hcDest John" Sher-
man. We would like to publish all of
his speech. but our space torbids. He
takes up Sherman's message" which
was sent out by many Republican
papers,point by point, step by step, and
blasts it. Mr.. Sherman dismisses the
subject of congested national treas
ury with a few words, and quotes
Thomas Jefferson on the subject. Mr..
Kenna proces that Sherman garbled
Mr.. Jeferson's words and omitted a
qualifying clause which Mr.. Jefferson
used, expressing his grave fears over
the great amount of money taken
from the people.
Mr.. Sherman, the leader of the Re
publican party pooh pooling the idea
of danger from a contracted currency,
when the people see the danger and
beg for relief, misquoting, and garbl-
ing Jefferson in order to attempt
proof, all this Mr. Kenna exposed
within the hearing Of Sherman him
self and before the entire Senate.
From the brief extract we publish til e
people will see that when the Repub-
lican party WAS in, Sherman and his
party men thu ught the internal reve-
nue. laws good ones. Now that they
no longer ge the pay, they think it
outrageous Out with such states.
manship as this-it is for revenue on
ly-it is a fair sample of that which
Republican leaders possess.
Pinned down closer, Sherman con-
tesses he is in favor of abolishing onl1
the tobacco tax-not even reducing
the tax on fruit brandy, nor does he
even say that he wishes the present
system Of collection abolished. He
was compelled to admit this a. his pc
sition or admit that he had lied all
along.
How does this position Of Mr.. Sher-
man and his party accord with the
| sentiments expressed Oh. the Sherman
supplements sent out hy Republican
papers throughout the South few
weeks ago?
IT is the same old trick of the same
party that has been trying to deceive
the people ever since its death in
1884. Before that Sherman and all
the gang thought in 'ernal revenue a
mighty good plan to raise money, now
they say they are opposed to it, but
they are playing false-it is only bid
for votes. Sherman has been proved
liar, and the whole party will prove
itself one ifthe people ever trust it
again.

THE WINSTON-WILKES BORO r. r.
Col. Scott, President of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Com
pany, and Col. A. b. Andrews were
in Winston-Salem yesterday and
conferred with our citizens in re-
gard to the W. & w. r. r.
The citizens assured Col. Scott
that the Railroad company should
have the right of way out of town.
This now leaves the fate of the road
with the people along the line
through the country. Col. Scott
says that if they will give the right
of way, the road shall be built with
out any delay. We would urge up
on the people of the counties
through which the road is to pass,
the necessity of liberal and generous
dealings with the railroad company.
The people have it now in their
power to get a railroad whose bene-
fits will be inestimable and they
should see that it gets the right of
way without any delay. As soon
as this right of way is secured, it is
the intention Of the company to let
the whole road to contract and place
men all along the line from Wins
ton to Wilkesuoro. They mean
business and will build the road
if the people show by their actions
that they want it. Agents are al
reudy out through the several coun-
ties and we bespeak for them the
kindness. courtesy and generosity of
the people.
1t is now or never; right Of way
or no railroad.
