Report of The Ladies' Twin-City Hospital
Association.
June 10Th 1887 this Association was
organized by number of ladies in Win
ston.Salem, its object being the estab-
ment and maintenance of a hospital for
the care of the poor and homeless and
sick in our community. Our work was
restricted, during the first months, to an
endeavor to increase the interest felt in
this charity, to enlarge our membership
and to secure necessary funds.
A house was rented for us by the COM
missioners OF the two towns, and can
vass, by number of ladies, secured the
contribution of necessary furniture and
outfit, so that We were able to open our
doors December LIST 1887.
The physicians all responded to our ap.
Deal to them, with an assurance of their
hearty cooperation and willingness to
patients admitted.
The hospital is supported by the ten
cent monthly dues of the 100 members,
the regular donations of number of
gentlemen who are honorary members of
the association, the contributions of pan
try supplies, at each monthly meeting
and gifts from friends interested in the
cause.
We feel an especial blessing has rested
on our work. With the skilful medical
treatment and careful nursing received
the patients made complete recovery in
every case, even though several were ap.
parently at deaths door when admitted.

hospital from December LIST 1887 to March

r. b. Glenn, Esq. The Man.

THE SENTINEL endorses the following,
which we find in the Charlotte Chronicle:
"The name of r. B. Glenn, Esq, of Win
ston, has been mentioned again and again
to us by prominent gentlemen from different
parts of the State as suitable person for
one of the electors for the State at large.
We are not committing ourselves to the ad-
vocacy of any man or men. This much we
may say, that the State Convention could do
no better than nominate him. While there
are others his equal, there are few his supe-
riors before the people as strong, popular
speaker"
The Chronicle is right. Mr.. Glenn is a
splendid campaigner, and will carry the
banners of Democracy to success if they
are put in his hands.

The Winston Tobacco section.

Messrs. Coleman Bros, of this city, write
We have made inquiries among farmers
and warehousemen who have travelled
through the tobacco section tributary to
Winston, and all agree that large proper
ton of the crop has been sold, some claim
as much rs three fourths, others say about
two thirds. so we presume that between two
thirds and three fourths has been marketed,
and believe that with favorable seasons, the
crop will be sold by June. It is very diff
cult to get any idea of how much will be
planted this year, but from all we can gath
er there will be pretty full CROP put in,
not like 'S6, but certainly as much or more
than last year.

Wipston's Tobacco Fair.

Winston's business men are putting their
heads together and planning for big tobac-
CO Fair. The Queen city of the West could
not do better than to launch out upon that
line. Winston's territory is large and
important one in the tobacco world and a
proper display of leaf from that section
would attract much attention. Let the Fair
be a certainty, gentlemen, it will pay you in
big returns anriue Tobacco Journal
Yes, our tobacco men have the pluck and
energy to make the Fair success and the
people need not look for anything less. The
Tobacco Fair will be a big thing for Win
ston and will show to the outside world that
she bids fair to be the banner city in the
Old North State. Her tobacco interests are
fast putting her in tbs front rank.

The Work Coos Brave1y on.

Work upon the Wilkesboro extension
goes bravely on. The force of hands at
both ends of the line is being continually
increased and at present everything in
railroad circles is moving forward in a rapid
and satisfactory manner. The reporter, in
passing near the depot the other day, obser-
we'd large lot of iron railing, and upon in
quiry learned that it had been shipped here
for the above extension. We were told, fur
ther, that the railing would be hauled to a
point near the city where the grading had
been finished, and that car would be haal-
ed out to this point and placed upon the
track in order to facilitate the work in NOV
ing the dirt. Time is precious with the R..
& D. Company, and they are taking advan-
tage of the precious moments that glide by.
THE SENTINEL is glad to state to its friend s
along this line of road that there are no
fears now entertained regarding the COM
pletion of the road.

Arrested for Bigamy.

DIR. VIM. F. G. Young who was drummed
out of Winston some time ago is still at his
deviltry- He was arrested last week in
Washington City on charge of bigamy.
The National Repxblican says:
On Wednesday last he married Miss Amy
Carey, daughter of Thomas Carey, we'll
known real estate dealer, living at 167 West
Fayetteville Street, Baltimore. The mar
rage took place at St. Marines Catholic
Church. The marriage notice was publish
ed, and on reaching the eye of Mrs. Sarah
v. Young, who lives at the corner Of Greene
and Mulberry Streets, Baltimore, she went
to Mr.. Carey's house, and showing him y
photograph, asked him if it looked like his
son-in-law.
'eThat is he; why do you ask 7"
"Sir, he is my husband. I was married
to him in Kent county, Nd, in 1902
The police were immediately notified of
the warrant and were told that the couple
could be found in this city. Mrs. Young
No. 2 is quite pretty, very intelligent, and a
poetess of no mean order. The Baltimore
officials took the couple back with them last
night to their homes.

EDITOR SENTII1EL Our little village
looks somewhat lonely since beautiful
Spring has made its appearance, as the fars
mers all seem busy preparing their land
for planting corn and tobacco.
We fear, from what we can learn, that to-
bacco plants will be scarce in Davie county,
as the recent cold snap and hard rains play
ed havoc with tobacco beds generally. Some
farmers complain of their plant beds beiGSs
entirely washed away.
Mr.. A. III. Davis, one of our go ahead
merchants, has purchased a lot and contem-
plates building store on the same in the
near future.
Mr.. w. G. Smithdeal, another of our
merchants, has quite recently completed a
new store, and now has lumber on his lot
for erecting a dwelling house.
Messrs. FL. t. Smithdeal and s. III. Phelps
have added considerably to the appearance
of our little burgh by having their residences
dressed in a new coat of white.
Messrs. J. w. Jones and B. L. Carter will
soon begin manufacturing tobacco in the
Springs factory, at this place, under the
name of Jones & Carter. They are both
clever young gentlemen, and we wish them
success.
The fire seems to be entirely out under
the political kettle, as we don't even hear
simmer from our political bretheren. 1t
seems that Blaine's letter, refusing to allow
his name TO be used in the national conven-
tions has cast a fatal gloom over our Repub-
lican friends, and we can tell by their ac-
tions they dread the man named Grover
Cleveland.

Two Important Decisions.

Two decisions of great interest were
ANNOUNCED last week after we went to
press. The United States Supreme
Court sustains the constitutionality Of
the Prohibitory law of Iowa. The
point at issue was the right to manu-
lacture liquor solely for expectation to
other States, despite the State law.
The point made against the law was
that it was in conflict with the consti-
tutional provisions which give Com
gress the sole right to regular inter-
State commerce. The Court holds
that the State law prohibiting the
manufacture and the sale, except for
mechanical, medicinal, sacramental
purpose, etc., is not in conflict with
that provision of the Constitution.
The opinion is by Justice Lamar. z
The other decision is that of the
|Supreme Court of this State sustaining
the will of SAMUAL j. TILDEN, which
brought before the Court for construc-
ton as to the legality Of the provision
leaving about S4,000,000 to public
library. This will probably be appeal
ed. from, but it would be a strange re-
suit if man of the great legal ability,
native shrewdness, and amazing cau-
Uion and delay which characterized
SAMUEL J.. TnDEN should have made
will which will not stand. If finally
sustained, the venerable bachelor
lawyer will assist to educate hundreds
and thousands of the children of other
men. ~

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
Triumph of Arbitration.

A DUEL NIPPED IN THE BUD
Augusta, Ga, Oct. 24.-W. II. NIGEL.
imurry and ". T.. Jones, both OF
Wayncsboro, Ga. attempted to pass
through here this morning to the fa-
nous Sand Bar Ferry duclling grounds
TO settle dispute on the 1ield of hon
or. Jones reached the spot selected 4
place aud waited until nightfall for his
opponent. McE,lmurry was arrested
by the Augusta police and the meet
ing was prevented. Thediiliculty was
settled tonight by mutual friends.
The parties are highly connected and
the attempted fight caused sensation.
!-ETchangC.
The arrangements Of two men for
duel involves the same principle as
that which obtains between two ma
tions preparing for war. The settle
ment of the difficulty between the two
men is an Illustration Of the principle
of arbitration between two nations
making ready for the battlefield.
Who that have correct ideas of moral
ity and that are true friends of those
would-have-been duelists do not re-
joice at the settlement of the difficulty
without further steps toward the COLI
summation of murder. And who are
they that have just adherence of war
and are persuaded of the blessedness
of peace, that do not rejoice when ar
bitration supersedes war, still better,
when it anticipates preparation for
war.
Just rs mutual friends" settled the
difficulty between McElmurry and
Jones so may arbiters, mutual
friends" settle a difficulty between
nations. The principle is the same in
each case. One is duel between two
men, the other duel between two ma
tions.
As horrible and wicked as is the
duello, it has, in comparison, this to
its credit which war has not, viz: In
the duello the men who quarrel do the
fighting themselves whereas in na-
tional duels the men who quarrel and
declare war turn over the fighting to
other men, while they, as general
thing, keep their own precious car
casses out Of harms way. If all men
who help to make war were compelled
to do the fighting, or even forced to
stand in the forefront of all battles,
wars would be few and far between.
Such desirable Median and Persian
arrangement, would lead statesmen
and rulers to find probably more than
one way of settling quarrels without
going to war, and such decree would
not be unsuited to statesmen and rul-
ers who are incompetent to deal with
national quarrels OIL a higher and safer
platform of principles.

Judging from the twitting or taunt-

journalists in America and England
concerning Lord Sackviue, alias Min
lister West, it may not be improbable
that stronger language will be used on
both sides of the question and on both
sides of the Atlantic. And in "rail-
ing for railing" the changes will be
rung this way and that way as to the
rights which should obtain in national
diplomacy. Disagreement on points

who can see no way Of settling quar-

EewfFrench Gun.

Could there be an experiment more
ehastly than one described by Figaro
the other day, or one better calculated
to show the sickcning brutality Of
modern war preparations? The ne"
Lebel gun was tried in its capacity as
o machine for destroying the human
body. Twenty corpses were arranged
at various distances, and the damage
wrought upon them by the shot was
carefully examined by surgeons, the
result being, from military point OF
view, most satisfactory. France is
meanwhile, the proud possessor of gun
which can intlict wounds more fine
and dangerous, more difficult to repair
than any other existing gun. Truly
this is q great prize, and will excite
much envy. Every nation murt have
such guns; in every land the toilerf
must give up their hard won living tc
provide such weapons for tearing the
bodies of men and the hearts Of women
in nci-hbor lands. Then the devil
will put it into the head of some eX'
perimenter to contrive a fresh nipple
meut more savage still, and the
demOniac rivalry will take fresh run
towards success. Surely the enginery
of war is becoming too horrible to be
tolerated by the conscience Of the civil
lized world. Surely some nation
should refuse to take part III this ap
palling wickedness.-Brhtish Vcckty.

The Best Temperance Lecture.

The physicians of Jacksonville, Fla,
state publicly that those who drink
liquor are less liable to recover from
yellow fever. And Mayor Archibald,
of the same city, in speaking of the
ravages of this terrible scourge, says: !:
ut strikes persons of alcoholic habits
fatally. The fever is of a very mild
form. The mortality is only about
fifteen per cent, and taking out the
deaths of men addicted to the use Of
alcoholic beverages, the mortality
would not exceed five per cent. Two
thirds of the fatality is due to the fact
that persons have been accustomed to
the use Of strong drink before they are
attacked by the fever, and in every
such case the patient invariably dies,
and without reaction. It is frequent
remark on the streets of Jacksonville
that yellow fever is the best temper
ance lecture the city ever had"
