our CHOICE FOR CONGRESS-:
Andrew Price,
SATURDAY, JUNE %. 1889.
THE THIRD DISTRICT.
OF e

Matters assume u more complicated
aspect every day in the "Old Third
The Republicans are arranging their
lines for . herculean effort to fasten
themselves once more on the district.
The result of last Saturdays confer
ence at Franklin seems to point to a
coalition between the old line Radi-
calls and the new "White Republican"
doctrinaires on the basis of an equal
share in the division of the spoils.
Mr.. Minor and his friends seem to be
more intent on securing the control OF
the Offices than of pursuing any further
their visionary ideas of Republicaniz-
ing the white voters of Louisiana. The
flesh pots danced tantalizingly before
their ofice-hungry eyes and, mortals
~ they are, they could not withstand
the temptation. They kicked aside
the high and naughty views that they
had hitherto entertained, or at least
expressed, and have rendered the olive
branch to Kellogg and his gang. 1t
remains to he seen whether the willy
old scalawag will accept it. Judge
Beattie is reported as having opposed
this backing down and humble sub
mission to the Kellogg faction, but his
efforts availed not.
In our " ranks the way is not
much clearer. One thing seems evil
dent, and that is we will have no fac
tional fight in our ranks. That is q
great deal to start with. Everybody
seems anxious, too, to put forward the
best man, and the difference of opin-
ion exists only as to who is the best or
most available man..
The SENTINEL has already declared
itself in favor of Mr.. Andrew Price as
the most available man. That con-
clusiOn was reached after most care
full survey of the whole situation. We
believed then, and believe now, that
he is the strongest ma the Democracy
could put up. That opinion, We are
happy to say, is shared by many of
our esteemed contemporaries.
But Mr.. Price declines to run. The
SENTINEL had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Price this week. He persists in
refusing to permit the use of his name
in connection with the Office and says
there is plenty of good congressional
timber in the district and the Demo-
cracy need experience no difficulty in
choosing a nan who will lead the
Democratic hosts to victory. He in
sists that the condition of his private
affairs is such as to preclude even the
idea Of running.
Mr.. Price may be right in this mat
ter, but we still think he is our most
available man for the occasion and
trust the Democracy may vet succeed
in making him alter his mind in the
premises.
In the meantime we shall await de-
velopments with undated interest
and with the firm conviction that the |
Democracy will finally settle upon the
right man among the many Democrats
whose names have been mentioned in |
connection with the nomination. /

DURHAM MARKET.

DURHAM, \. C., Oct. 19.-Mr.
Alex Walker, the buyerfor Black
wells Durham Tobacco Co., says
in the Globe:
"Wearestill of the opinion that
the 1889 crop will be marketed
much earlier than any crop We
have had for the past ten years.
We have eonversed with a num-
Der OF Winston men, and from the
best information we can reach the
goods sold on that market will
nearer approximate an average
crop inquantity and quality than
any section in Middle North Car
DINA. Nash county will take the
palm in color, while it will be
Rockingham rounty that viii
give more body than any county
in the State, while Asheyille and
her surrounding section will put
in fine color and more body than
any crop that section has ever
produced. Chatham, Wake and
Granville will all sell some fine
tobacco, while at the same time,
in some portions of thesecounties
the crop suffered very much from
rain and want ofwork, which was
unavoidable. The North Caro-
lima tobacco crop, when brought
to the scales, will not reach an
average crop by 30 to 40percent.
and it may be possible that the
crop will fall below these figures
Not altogether, however, owing
to the thin, light growth of the
crop, but in part owing to the
shortage in planting. There has
been a combination Of circum
stances that has worked together
very effectually to cut offthecroI

isfsd in our mind that the 1SS!

which Edison could noe understand, as
he was hard of hearing.
That was enough. He was now more
than ever convinced that his ''check'
wasn't worth $4,000, and again
thought, as he rushed out of the bank
with it, that any man who would
give him $4,000 could walk away
with the check. He hurried
back to the Western Union
and said he couldn't get any money.
General Lefferts then sent man with
him to identify him. He said that
This man is Thomas A. Edison, to
whose order the check is d. avn"
"Why, certainly, Mr.. Edison," said
the cashier, very obsequiously, chow
would you like your $4,000? In what
shape?"
"Oh, any way to suit the bank. 1t
doesn't make any difference to me so
long as l get my money"
Edison was given $4,000 in large
bills. After dividing the roll into two
wads of $4,000 each, he stuffed one
into each trousers pocket, buttoned up
his coat as tightly as possible, and
made break to get out of Wall street
as quick as he could. The next day
Edison began to work on his first lab
oratory at Newark, IN. Y. Journal.

wizard" Edison came over from
Menlo Park the other day on some bus
mess connected with some of his nu-
merous enterprises, and during the
afternoon spent several hours with one
of the officials of the big electric-light
company.
During lunch the great electrician
became chatty and told, in his quaint
way, the story of his first acquaintance
with any large sum of money.
1t was in the days when he was
struggling along with his earlier in
ventions, and didn't have big capital
lists to back him. In fact, he didn't
have any bank account himself, and
hardly knew what one was. Bank
checks were things he had never had
occasion to use, and had about as much
idea of their value as the man in the
moon.
Edison had finally sold his patent
on the gold and stock indicator to the
Western Union Telegraph Company
for $40, 900, and was coming over to
New York to get his money.
He had heard OF Wall street and its
bulls and bears, and had been told that
it was full of sharks" who would
fleece a man very quick. So he made
up his mind that Wall street was a
very dangerous place, and that if he
ever had occasion to 60 there he would
be lucky if he got away without losing
his Overcoat and umbrella.
At that time General Lefferts was
president of the Western Union. One
morning Edison came into the COM
pany's general offices to close up the
sale of his patent. After a few pre-
liminaries he was given a check for
$40,
He looked at it curiously for mo-
ment or two, and appeared to be puz-
zled what to do with it. He knew
that he had sold patent to the West
ern Union Company for $40, 900, but he
didn't see any money. Observing his
perplexity, General Lefferts told him
that if he would go down to the Bank
of America, in Wall street, he could
get the check cashed.
80 l started out" said Edison,
''after carefully folding up the check,
and went toward Wall street So un-
certain was l in regard to that way of
doing business that thought while on
the way that if any man should come
up to me and offer me two crisp thou
sand-dollar bills for that piece of paper
/ should give him up the check very
quick"
On arriving at the Bank of America
he hesitated about entering, fearing
still that something might be wrong.
At last, however, he mustered up cour-
age and determined to try it. He knew
that General Lefferts had told him he
would get his money here, so he braced
ahead and half tremblingly showed his
check out to the cashier. The latter
scrutinized it closely, gave Edison d
piercing glance and said something

ABOUT INDIGESTION.
How to Restore the Lack of Balance Be-
tween Food and Exercise.


tween Food and Exercise.
Frequently after eating l have
nausea and palpitation of the heart.
Three or four hours later | have much
gas in the stomach and bowels. My
appetite is good most of the time. Per-
haps eat too much for the exercise [
take l stay much in the house, and [
am a little nervous. | am constipated
when l have the bad spells. My only
drink is cold water"
The case is doubtless one of indiges-
ton, caused not by organic disease,
but by lack of balance between food
and exercise.
The good appetite indicates natur-
ally good digestive powers, but more
food is taken than can be duly di-
gested. Hence it becomes, to greater
or less extent, fermenting mass, and
is thrown into the bowels, where
the fermenting process is con-
tinued. The bile, which is an
alkaline fluid, neutralizes the
acidity in part, but the liver sympa-
thizes with the weakened stomach,
and fails to secrete the normal quantity
of bile, as is indicated by the consti-
patton.
If the patient, instead of being kept
most of the time in the house by
fatiguing domestic duties and the
wearying cares of motherhood, were
a strong man, working from morning
to night in the pure air and sunshine,
her ordinary diet would doubtless be
within safe bounds.
The question for such a person is
one of quantity, not of quality; not
what kinds of food shall l take, but
how much; but since long-continued
transgression has weakened the entire
digestive tract, it is desirable, while
the stomach is recovering its normal
tone, to reject all fat meats and what
ever experience has shown to be
specially disturbing.
Every thing designed to quicken the
appetite should be permanently avoid
ed. 1t spurs only to weaken. Rich
pies and pastry should find no place in
the diet.
We would say to all those whose
case is like that of our correspondent,
reduce your diet by one-third, and
watch and wait results. Later, per-
haps, the amount may be increased. 1t
is of the first Importance to secure an
intelligent control of the appetite. A
strong appetite is like a good horse;
the stronger the better, if held we'll in
hand. AS for tea and coffee, they
weaken digestion. Nothing is better
than water.
The palpitation in the above case is
due to the sympathy of the heart with
the disturbed stomach. 1t need give
no concern. Frequent bathing, fol-
lowed by brisk friction, is greatly help
full, and outdoor exercise is y neces-
slty. Youths ComPeRi9%
