their acquisitions to good account. They

Mcleod. 1t is possible that this youth
may answer. the eror,rccurring question
utslss circles: ''yill there ,er arise
another Morphy!" Master Mcleod is a
Canadian boy, eighteen years of age.
His play in the tournament proved his
rank to be high among the masters of the
game. His victory over New York's
champion, Eugene Dclmar, was not only
interesting of itself, but was made doubly
so by the brilliant and original manage.
ment Of the contest The Canadian lad
has not yet demonstrated that he pos.
sesses the unique genius of Morphy. but
the game is so much better understood
now, than it was in his day, that perhaps
such surprises as he treated the experts
to are no longer possible. People will
watch McLcod's play with special in.
tcrcst. The boy is doing some very hard
thinking; let us hope he wont hurt his
young brains. AIorphy fame was dearly

DILLARD, n c., June 15.-We are
having long wet season-the long
season that usually comes in May,
which has afforded farmers a good
chance to finish planting tobacco,
and to start crops generally.
We had a considerable freshet in
the Dan on the last day of May, that
did some damage-the river was said
to have been higher than at any time
since the Gettysburg battle, July
1868. The heavy rains that produc-
ed the freshet were in the vicinity of
Francisco. The continued wet wealth

Our Radical friends are wearing
long faces because Brer Harrison
administration has not made money
more plentiful guess they are saving
it for next campaign. Our people are
beginning to realize that all the cry
about s'free ballot and fair count,
is to blind the people to the fact that
our general government is in the
hands of money sharks, and that ii
is the money so freely put into the
campaign by Wanamaker and others
does more to corrupt the voters o.
the country than any acts ofviolenct
done by Southern whites in behalf O

An Appeal for Aid Which Should b
Needed

An Appeal for Aid Which Should Be
Needed.
The Charlotte Chronicle is in receipt
of q communication bearing the off,
cial stamp of Wood Grove Alliance
No. 4O4, of Rowan county, appealing
for aid for the suffering farmers Of
that section. Following is an extract
from the letter which is dated June
Il: "The Almighty God is His mys-
terious ways has seen proper to visit
large portion of this Alliance, on
May 26th. with an exceedingly vio-
lent and destructive hail storm, near
ly totally destroying their wheat,
winter oats, cotton and fruit crops,
together with their garden and truck
patches, and badly damaging other
crops. By this calamity, many of
them who had to go in debt to pro-
vide for their families and stock, until
i the wheat and oats harvest, are now
| left almost destitute.
They greatly need your aid and char
ity, as well as your sympathy. Now,
dear and fortunate brethren, come
to our assistance; give money, wheat,
oats, or whatever else you can divide
with us, and be assured that what
ever you give us, will be gratefully
received and acknowledged.
Open your hearts, purses, and gar
ners. Help us all you conscientiOusly
can. Send money by registered letter,
and grain and other freight, to j. w.
Miller, President, Cleveland, Western
N. C. r. r.. notifying him at his post
office as above named. Contributions
from all sources will be most CRATE
fully received and acknowledged.
An appeal like this should not be
made in vain to the people of North
Carolina. The SENTINEL is informed
that there is great restitution in our
neighboring county of Rowan-Our
own brethren stand in need. They
have, however, borne quietly for
three weeks their suffering and it is
only after mature deliberation that
they have at last made this dernier
resort appeal to their neighbors for
that help without which they can
hardly hope to live.
This extract from the letter Of w.
L. Kistler, the secretary, is to the
point:
"While many of our citizens are
laudably contributing to the Cone
maugh river food sufferers, we do
hope that they will also lend help to
those nearer home who have suffered,
and are suffering from the effects of
the most violent and destructive hail
storm ever known for the last of
May. We pray that our most favor
ed citizens will remember us in this
our time of great need and affection,
and God will surely bless Them
We earnestly trust that the citizens
of Winston-Salem, and the readers of
THE SENTINEL generally, will contri-
butte as they can toward the allevia-
ton of the suffering of those people.
Send your contributions to the ad-
dress given above-or The SENTINEL
will take pleasure in acknowledging
and forwarding any funds left at this
Office for the purpose.

A Lounge for One Dollar.

Summer is at our door, and after
dinner maps are luxuries all the read
ers of The SENTINEL who can afford
it will indulge in Either a hammock
or a lounge is the thing for the after
dinner nap. Here is the way you can
make the latter yourself at a cost of
only one dollar:
Take two strips Of wood, eighteen
feet long, four inches wide and one
inch thick. From one of these cut
two pieces, each six feet long, and two
pieces two and a half feet long for
the ends. Put them together strong
ly, using screws, and making GIN
let hole to start each screw, in order
not to split the wood. Two more
pieces two and a half feet long, from
the second strip, for the head These
are screwed on the inside of the frame.
at one end, giving them a comfortable
slant. Another piece, two feet four
inches long, is fastened to the ends of
the "head pieces" On the under side
of the body frame fasten two more
strips, two and one half feet by four
inches, each about six inches from the
end of the frame, and in these drill a
hole about two inches from each end,
lnCO WHICH put Clusters. On Une INSIDE
of the sides, on the lower edge, fasten
strips of wood about an inch square,
and on these lay thin boards, over
which tack a piece of bagging, treat
ing the head in the same way. Stuff
this frame with hay, piling it up
about a foot above the sides, and
over this stretch some muslin, draw
ing it as tight as possible, and tack
ing it firmly on the under side of the
lounge Over this tack the final COW
ering of pretty cretonne which costs
twelve cents yard, using about
three yards. If you choose to make
the lounge more expensive and, of
course, more comfortable. stuff it
with hay on the bottom, and excel
sior on the top, and make a pillow of
the same material, though it is not
necessary. The lounge, which is more
of a "divan" than a lounge, may look
too low, or too hard, but it will be
one of the most comfortable articles
of furniture in the house. If half
dozen springs are used, they will inn
prove it greatly.

The RoanOkes having recently de-

in this State. Cannot an arrangement
