Probably one thing has caused such a gem
eral revival of trade at V. o. Thompson's Drug
Store as their giving away to theircustomers OF
many free tri ii bottles of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is
simply enormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs. Colds, Asthma, Bron-

quickly cured. You can test it before buying

changes in the rules of prosecution
are made to render the law less cp

Let us consider the benefits to be
derived to this classes of our citizens:
Under consideration frst comes the
day laborer. Suppose this line IS
built, it will be done not by convicts,
but by hired labor. Every man who
can and will work can get steady en-
ployment for months. Then as the
road is built, the factories already here
will need more labor, nav factories
and industries will spring P, requir-
ing labor. The population will in
crease, houses will be to build and
skilled mechanics and artisans will
find employment at remunerative
wages. Iron toundries and machine
shops, cotton mills, wood and WOODEN
rniiis and all the thousand industries
that aeck an industrial railroad centre
will locate here and ready work will
await willing hands in every enter
prise Thus the wage workers will
be benefited to an incslculable ex-
tent.
The merchant will sell more goods
becau.e there will be more people to
need and buy; the professional man
will have a larger clientele; the man
ufacturer, having better and cheaper
shipping facilities will get his goods
to market cheaper and quicker.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-02-16

Thus we see every class of men will
reap benefits beyond estimate. The
real estate of the city will advance.
1t will not go up with swoop and
come down with thud, as property
did in some Of the towns further south,
but it will steadily advance and the
tax list will be enlarged, SO that when
the bonds fall due twenty FIVE years
hence their payment will be small
matter. Just here is the trouble with
somes folks-they don't like the idea of
voting the tax themselves. There is
no danger of the burdens ever bear
ing heavily, for sinking fund can be
provided and added to, year after
year, SO that even in the event the
city should tail to grow Ga contingen-
cy that isn't possible) at the end of
twenty-fve,y years enough would be in
the treasurysto pay off the bonds.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-02-16

Now suppose the city to enlarge. ..as
we have every reason to believe it will
then the increase Of taxable proper
ty will increase the total an,oqt,,t taxes
sufficiently to pay off the bond with
out increasing the rate of taxation one
cent In other words suppose man
now pays thirty five cents on each
500 worth of property; at the end OF
twenty-five years he will be paying no
more and the bonds will be paid of
from tax money received on increase
in values and new buildings ad i'm
provements which will be added to
the city.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-02-16

The hope of rapid increase in popu-
lation and wealth is not chimera,
not dream, but it is entirely reason
able. The SENTINEL has shown how
railroads have built other towns, now
let US look nearer home, at Winston.
The.populatior in 1860 was only
400 Ten years later, with no rail
road it had grown to only $50; then
the branch road from Greens
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1888-02-16

If the rate of increase during the
next--ten years is even no greater than
that during the ten years proceeding
1886 the revenue obtained from the
increase will be more than enough at
maturity of the bonds to pay off both
principal and interest, without in
creasing the taxes one cent. Thus
every man can see for himself that
when he votes for this subscription to
the r. & S. R. r., he. is mot uoting to
increase has tares. He is,s.as it were,
voting for his town to borrow the
money to make a business investment,
which will pay both principal and in
terest when the debt is due.

else.
London Daily News.
There is popular idea that teaching
girls to dance improves their manner of
walking. This notion is a relic of the
days wnen the waltz was unknown, and
the stately measures of the gavotte and
the mlnuet neceSSitated careful training
OF the limbs and much instruction in
department. 1t is possible that our great
grandmotherS may have walked we'll;
but 1t is certain that their great grand
daughters do not. Half an hour spentin
the Row on any morning will convince
the Neutrality-suspicious.. Some people are in
clined to throw the blame upon the dress
improver. Others remember that English
girls walked no better before it came
in. They sway from side to side, or
they unnecessarily move the whole
body, or they take immensely long steps,
or rush into the opposite extreme, imi-
tatIng the movements of mincing ma
chine. There is curious fashion just
now In the manner of carrying the arms.
The elbows are thrust out as far as pos
Slble from the body, giving sort of
square look to the whole figure. which
is far from pleasing. SO long as the ell
bows form an angle. things must he in
concentration accordingly. Hence the
lOng-handled sunshades that look so
awkward in the hands of abbreviated
beauty. All these things initiate
against a graceful gait. and, though
English women may claim superiority
to their countrymen in every other
respect, they will admit that the time
has yet to come when they excel them
in the art of walking.

A Lawyers Pride,

San Francisco Chronicle.
1t would seem natural that lawyers
should make good actors. Yet they
don't. The few who have ever gone on
the stage have not shown the convinc-
ing emotional power they have over
iuries. But the lawyer in Nevada who
defended Chinaman might, perhaps,
have done well on the stage. He
pleaded that the Chinaman was a lone
and helpless stranger in strange land !;
that he should be dealt with leniently;
that he had parents and a family in
distant Cathay who would weep their
hearts out if he were convicted, He
embraced the Chinaman; he put his
arms around his neck in the open court
and wept tears of bitter agony on his
blouse. The jury acquitted him. The
Chinaman in his gratitude came up
after the trial and shook hands fer
yently with the lawyer.
''Bully. You make a handsome
speech, judge. Come and take a
"What?" said the lawyer, drawing
himself up. ''Drink with you? What
has there been in my conduct which
would lead you to suppose that l would
drink with son of gun of a Oh ina
man?o

Mental Effect Of Hot Weather.

Mental Effect Of Hot Weather.
Boston Globe.
One of the most interesting studies
bearing upon this subject (the relation
of mind to matter) is found in observing
the effects of a high temperature upon
different organizations The nervous,
sensitive, egotiStic man, when the Their
mOmeter ranges among the nineties, is
chiefly intent upon publishing his per-
petual discomfort. Instead of sitting
still and cooling his mind through work
or genial diversion, he moves busily
about, telling everybody how hot it is,
with gestures and CALCULATIONS to match.
He is mental radiator, bent on trans
hitting his own condition to other
minds, and without intending it, is gen
Grating his own discomfort within
others.
On the other hand, the man of even
temperament, of cool mind, avoids all
mention of physical and thermal condi-
tions on hot day. His purpose is to
get his mind as far away from them as
possible. He hears his nervous friend
fling down his pen or spade and declare
that it is too hot for work. To him con-
genial work is the very best means of
keeping his attention away from pbysi-
cal discomfort. One feels compare
lively cool i'll this mans presence. He
is partial refrigerator, and transmits
his own conditions.
The moral physical temperature of
man on hot day is not the measure of
discomfort. In this busy season hun
dreds of New England farmers toll in
open fields in the hot sun in such excess
sive perspiration that hardly a dry
thread is found on them through the
day. But if one is accoSted on the road
side and reminded that it is a terribly
hot day. he will generally reply with
true Yankee drollery that it is splendid
weather for corn. The farmers mind is
ON the hay and corn crops instead of the
heat. His mind is kept cool by con-
genial labor and the promise of good
crops.
What is true of man is true of beasts.
One of the most painful sights to per-
son of kind heart is to see the distress
of the horses that pull the street cars
on scorching day. These animals re-
ceive the best care and treatment by the
companies, and their muscular strength
is not overtaXed so far as mere work is
concerned. A horse doing the same
work on country road would not per-
Spire much. 1t is the tremendous strain
upon their nerves, caused by constant
fear of losing their feet on the smooth
pavement when starting the car that
chiefly induces their sweat and semi
torture. Even with horse it is the
condition of mind that largely decides
its power to endure heat and work.
