Read, Ponder and Reflect.


Read, ponder and reflect. The ~g question
is often ssked :-.-IyRhy do so many persons
noMads wear glasses . The answer is
easily given. In the first place, within the
last twenty five years, great deal has bedn
learned about the value OF glasses, and the
range OF their application and usefulness
has been enormously extended AS cen
sequence OF this, statistics show that the
number OF persons losing their sight has
greatly diminished Secondly, the eyes
need more help now, because the amount of
work they are required to do now is mich
greater than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine and
many other inventions of its class save ttha
labor of the hands only to add to that rehui-.
red of the eyes. New empioyments new
amusements and new fashions are continu-
ally being introduced to increase the q xae-
tions laid upon these sensitive and delicate
organs. The steady decrease of illitetacy.
together with the general circulation If he
daily newspapers, the increasing use of arti.
ticial illumination, extending the ho1rs of
eye work, all combine to overtax tho eve
and render it an organ most liable to give
way under the adverse and depressing, con-
ditions encountered in the struggle for exist
encc, SO that its aid and protection are mat
tiers of constantly in reasing Importance.

Letter from Rockford.

Letter from Rockford.
EDITOR SENTINEL.--I ask for a short
space in your columns for the publication OF
my short letter. Our farmers are in fine
spirits, have fine crops of both corn and to-
bacco and they are at work hard to get
through for the coming campaign. Politics
are beginning to boom, they are talked in
every public place, and Cleveland, Thur
man, Fowle, and Holt are the topics of the
discussions and they are held up with much
enthusiasm and we are more than satisfied
with them for our candidates for we are sure
the Democratic party has Fowle Holt on
the Republican party aud on the first Tues
day in November will bury it never to rise
any more. Yet that is not all the ticket the
members for the commons and Senate are
yet to be nominated in our county and dis
trict. We would be glad to see all the del
egates to the convention come solid for w.
NJ. Cundiff well known citizen of our
county who has been a member of the County
Board of Education every since its existence,
is farmer bv profession and is a high toned
gentleman in every repect and has the love

his power for the welfare of his people and
can discuss The political Issues 10 their full
| extent. As Surry has no claims as to who
the candidate shall be for the Senate the del
egates will therefore be instructed to vote
for the man that the delegates from Yadkin
may bring f.rward and we hope the delega-
ton from Yadkin will come solid for 1. l.
Shugart a man that is well known both il
Surry and Yadkin, man that stands at .hs
| top in society, a man that has done all il
his power for the elevation of the human
race, both spiritual and temporal. a MAI
that has ever stood by the Democratic party
and fought for democracy in the private
ranks and has rendered efficient service t,
the party. i have neither time nor talen
to give description Of MIR. /. l.. Shugart
| charact er and deem il useless a. he is $
well known in both counties The re.sol
for asking for Shugart is that he will max
the best ran i'm Surry OF any man that YAK
kin can praince and we believe he is TIL
strongest man in Yadkin and without hin
we fear the result will lie the same as tw
years ago, and We hope our Yadkin breth
rem will take these facts into consideration.

How ii ,u ston Talked of his Execution.


VIM. Houston, the negro who stands
charged with the murder of Kate Cosby, on
May 21st last, ami whose execution for the
deed he committed takes place to day does
not seem to be alarmed or excited IN the
least over the fact that he will be hurled
into eternity between the hours of II and l
o'clock. The place selected by the Sher-
if for the hanging is in East Winston.
The scaffold has been erected and every
preparation made for him to swing.
Yesterday morning, accompanied by the
Sheriff and several other gentlemen, our re
porter visited Houston at his cell in the Jail.
Upon cur entering he seemed somewhat
nervous but seeing that we were only visitors
his uneasiress soon not Noticeable and
he talked as glib.y and with much firm
ness as either visitor.
Glow did you rest last night y asked .
visitor
"All right responded Houston, "my sit
nation does not disturb me either from my
appetite or sleeping"
At this point the Sheriff called to Houston
and asked him whom he wished to preach
his funeral just previous to his execution.
"Rev I. III. Wells, col, said he would
preach my funeral replied Houston.
"He is your preference them" continued
the Sheriff.
ayes sir, he is the one whom have spok-
| en- to about it."
"Do you fear death ?' asked the reporter
as Houston turned around.
"None whatever. | never believed that
I would be hung until few days ago when
| Mr.. Bradford (the jailor) showed me let
ter from the Governor refusing to commute
my sentence. When | read this | saw that
| there was no chance for me and | at once
went to praying to the Lord to forgive me.
/ now have no fears of death ! am now
willing to give up this world"
"Have you any illwill against any one?"
was asked the condemned man.
| Nobody at all, ," he answered..
"Have you got any relatives or friends to
take charge of your body after DEATH" wal
about the last question asked him. He re
piled:
"None but my brother in Rei,lsyille. Il
he knew it | think he would come after me
and take me there for burial"
We then left the Jail, leaving the muir.
derer in the bes. of spirits.
AS we go to press before the execution
takes place we are unable to give further
particulars of the hanging until next week
