Righfed.

Something is Wrong Which Must Be
Righfed.
During the past six or eight weeks
The SENTINEL has received numerous
complaints from it's subscribers of
which the following is sample:
wilson's STORE, June 17.-"Before
we had railroads in Stokes we could
get the SENTINEL the day after it's
publication. Now we don't get it
sometimes in a week, and if we could
get more railroad facilities, reckon
your paper would be two weeks in
getting here, and it is only 20 miles
off.
Bro. Brewer has appointed new
postmaster for this place who lives 3
miles south of here, and if the au-
thorities remove the site, it will put
9-1O of the patrons of this office to
great Inconvenience, which will dam
age the newspaper men, because many
will stop their papers rather than go
so far for their mail
1t is an outrage committed for
spite. but it hits both Republicans
and Democrats, who wish their mail
at this central, public place, where it
has been for 81 years. l understand
that the new postmaster and his
bondsmen combined, are not worth
the homestead allowed to one head
of a family.
But what do Republicans care for
efficiency or responsibility
The SENTINEL is mailed regularly
from this office every Wednesday af-
ternoon or early Thursday morning,
and should reach it's subscribers regu-
larly. The reason it does not get to
some of them on time is just now
known only to those postal officials
or route agents or mail carriers who
fail to perform their duty. But we
intend to follow this matter up and
place the responsibility where it be-
longs by publishing the names of the
derelict parties and reporting their
conduct to the authorities at Wash
ington.
The SENTINEL is not the only paper
that suffers in this way and it will
go hard with somebody, or we are
mistaken.

Piedmont Springs.

A party of ladies and gentlemen left
Winston last Saturday to spend Sun
day at the Piedmont Springs hotel.
Although they were not expected, a
first-rate supper was prepared soon
after their arrival and they found
everything very comfortable.
The building is beauty, is three
stories high and is very cool. The
rooms are nicely furnished and the
parlors are elegant. The table service
is very pretty and the fare is first rate.
The company showed wisdom in Sc
Letting Mr.. C. d. Benbow as manager.
He is popular and does everything
possible for the comfort of his guests.
The following composed the party:
Mrs. Mamie Benton, Mr.. E. T. Ware,
Miss Mary Gorrell, Mr.. Henry Higgins,

1t is Booming at the Other End of the
Line
We find the following items in ROa-
noke Herald, which are of local inn
portance to the readers of The SEN
TINEL:
The citizens residing at and in the
immediate vicinity OF Calloways,
Franklin county, have agreed to sub
scribe $50, 900 to the Roanoke &
Southern Railroad, provided, the de-
pot is located within one fourth of a
mile of the town. This amount can
be increased to $4,000. This iber-
atty speaks volumes in praise OF the
citizens of Calloways, and is an indi-
cation of what the people of the coun-
ty will do III order to secure the road.
Capt. G. NJ. Helm, of Franklin
county, says the people of his county
are anxious to see the Roanoke 4
Southern Railroad completed, and
will cheerfnlly contribute to that end
to the extent of their ability. Those
who were until lately Indifferent as to
the fate of the enterprise are now the
most enthusiastic supporters of it.
NEW PRESIDENT ELECTED.
Especial to The SENTINEL.
ROANOKE, VA, June 1Sth.-The
board of directors of the Roanoke &
Southern road to-day elected Hon.
H. S. Trout president.
At meeting of the stockholders
the reports of acting-president Fries
were received and approved. We
would have been better satisfied at
our end if Mr.. Fries had been made
permanent president of the road.
President Trout, however, is a good
man and will make an excellent Of
fetal.
A committee of citizens from Rocky
Mount, Franklin county, waited on
the president and Board of Directors
and offered special Inducements to
have the road connect with that city,
at which A. Underdunk was elected
chief engineer and F. III. Fries general
manager. The Virginia and North
Carolina ConstructionCompany want
this city and Franklin county to con-
tribute more money in aid of the
Roanoke & Southern road, which
will be done in the course of a few
months, when work on the road at
this end of the line will be COM
menced at once.

from Winston to Walnut Cove) is

A Matter Of importance.

Many letters are being received by
WinstOn-Salem people from parties
in other States asking about our
town and it's prospects. Some of these
letters ask the price Of real estate and
what is on the market As yet it has
been impracticable to tell them much
about property for sale for the reason
that those wishing to sell have not
made the fact known. A good way
to do this is to inform the Carolina
Real Estate Agency, corner 4th and
Liberty streets. They want descrip-
ton and prices of all property for sale
in Winston-Salem and Forsyth coun-
ty. Unless they make sale they do
not charge anything, SO it doesn't
cost anything to try them. If you
have property for sale, letit be known.

A Great Future for Winston.

A Great Future for Winston.
The Southern Tobacco Journal, in
abiding to our railroad prospects,
says:
Winston will have direct deep water
connection by the end of the present
year when the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad
will be completed to Wilmington. #
our Atlantic and Danville Road gets
a Western outlet, Winston will get a
second deep water outlet via Danville
to Norfolk. This would give the
Twin-City live possibility of becom-
ing large wholesale point.

RAISE ONLY THE BEST.
Some Comments Concerning Quality and
Over-PrOductiOn.

| Some Comments Concerning Quality and
Over-ProductiOn.
Quality is sought in all goods sold,
and, as quality varies, all goods are
graded and the price fixed in accord
ance with the stock in market of the
grade sought. A market may be over
stocked with an article of certain
grade, and yet a brisk demand may
exist for the same article, but of a diff
ferent grade. This rule applies to the
products of the farm as well as to
manufactured articles, but it receives
less consideration by farmers than by
other classes. The farmer devotes
his energies to produce as much in
quantity as he can secure from the
soil, and in that manner assists in re-
ducing prices and injuring the sales of
his goods. There should be no objec-
ton to quantity, as the greater the
quantity the larger the receipts, but
the quality is more important than
quantity.
If choice article can be grown on
the same space required for an inferior
one the cost will be but little more
The first item of expense is the use Of
the ground, and that item must be paid
under all circumstances, as the interest
and use of the land commands mark
etable value. Next, the labor is ex-
pensive. While choice article may
call for more labor to certain extent
yet there are items in the bill of labor
that always present themselves. For
instance, it requires as much time to
hitch the team, sharpen the tools.
travel to and from the field, keep down
the weeds and grass and protect
against insects for a poor crop
as for better one. To
proportionately lessen this expense
the crop must not only be large but of
excellent quality, and the better the
quality the lower the. cost proportion
ately. 1t is sometimes extravagant to
grow an inferior crop, as the farmer
can not afford to do so. His land and
labor are too valuable to be devoted TO
crops that do not pay because they
fail to be of the quality in demand.
Oyer-production of inferior articles
is possible at all times, but over-pro-
duction Of choice articles has never
yet been accomplished. There are
too many grades in the market, which
split up the whole into so many sepa-
rate articles. any one of which may be
lacking while the others are in excess.
A slight difference in quality is some
times sufficient to double the profits.
1t is estimated that the average cost
OF growing. picking and shipping
Strawberries is three cents a quart
If one grower receives three and one
half cents per quart and another four
cents per quart the one will have
twice as much profit as the other, al
though he received but one-half cent
more This is due to the fact ths.
the first cost o: three cents per quart
must be paid. no matter what the prices
may be. The grower who aims to
have his products in market so as to
grade them to the highest standard
can realize large profit even when
others, selling inferior articles. may
suffer loss.-Philadelphia Record.
