Skipped With Doodle

Mr.. Peyton Stultz, who runs a saw
mill near the line of the Roanoke &
Southern R. r., between Walnut
Cove and Madison, was in Winston
Tuesday to consult counsel to take
action against w. A. Stiles, bridge
contractor.
Stiles suddenly skipped out for I'M
known parts day or two ago leav-
the loss 81 considerable cash he owed
them. ..t,t
Stiles claimed to be IL member of IL
contracting firm of w. A. Stiles &
Co., Of Kansas City, Mo-, and for
some time has been putting up the
bridges for Messrs Breen, Feeley 4
Newly. He was a sharp rascal. He
went in debt for all his lumber, failed
to pay off his workmen, bought his
supplies on credit and in fact ran his
whole business by virtue of II brazen
face and insinuating manners. His
boss mason, an old man, not only
waited for his wages, but even loan
ed Stiles his own hard savings.
When he got as deeply in debt as
he could safely do, he left on the
train without even sending messages
of consolation to his creditors. Before
heleft he instructed his hostler to drive
his mules nineteen of them) over in
to Virginia. The teamster proceeded
to obey orders, but when he was
within five miles Of the Virginia line
he was overtaken by Mr.. Webster, of
Madison, and the mules carried back.
Dr.. w, A. Lash was in Winston
Yesterday and says that Stiles got
away with eight or ten thousand
dollars. Fortunately, however,
Messrs. Breen, Feeley & Newly had
not paid him for his work in May and
had reserved 10 per cent. of the
amount. due him on work for April,
consequently his creditors will be
able to get a little of what is due
them.
Elkin Coming to The Front.
The Santineis Traveller, who has
trip to the thriving town OF Elkin,
points:
New houses are going up all over the
place. business is thriving and the
ulercuduUS dill Seeul I'D Ue DuS.p.
The Railroad from Elkin to Wilkes
boro is being rapidly pushed for
ward. The track is laid to Roaring
River, about half way between Elkin
and Wilkesboro. 1t is thought that
the passenger train will run to
Wilkesboro by the first of August
and the people of Wilkes and Surry
are looking forward to a big jollifica-
ton at that time.

interest Of Mr.. Gwyn in the Elkin
Valley WOODEN mills and the style of
the firm name is Chatham & Sons.

they have orders for all the goods

are meeting with success which they
richly deserve taf. e

looking finely with few exceptions
and the farmers are pushing ahead
to get them cleaned out so as to be
ready for harvest.

PRIVACY INSTEAD OF PUBLICITY.
What he Tobacco Manufacturers Associ-
alton Demand Relative to the Revenue


Returns.
From the Western To5a;co Jorrna.l
Among the questions considered by
the Fine Cut and Smoking Tobacco
Manufacturers Association at VAST
ington on the 9Th to 10Th inst. was
the one relative t, the publicity Of in
dividCal manufacturers returns, or
tax payments. The Association adopt
ed the following resolutions:
ssResolved: That the Hon. Commits
sioner of Inter Revenue be requss-
ted to recommend to Congress the en-
actment of such laws as are necessary
to forbid the publicity of the returns
Of manufacturers of Tobacco, Cigars,
Snuff and Cigarettes.
Resolved: That the Secretary is in
structed to inform all others interested
and request their cooperation"
While the Government has the
right to collect revenue from any ar
ticle Congress specifies, and it is nec-
essary in furtherance of such tax
gathering that manufacturers furnish
to the Government officials a record
of their doings, yet these returns. so
far as they concern individuals, should
be as secluded from public scrutiny as
are the records of the secret service
bureau. 1t comprises information
which would not be furnished only to
the Government, and because the
Government demands it as an aid to
protection against frauds on the rev.
enue. 1t should be respected as the
information is that is furnished by a
client to a reputable lawyer, by a
patient to his physician, or by par
ishioner to his clergyman.
In lines of business free from taxa
ton, and regarded as legitimate and
honorable, no law can or does compel
one to furnish details of his business
on which in a measure depends his
success, to every rival or every Tom,
Dick or Harry that comes along, and
the government which forces the in
form alton from Tobacco manufactur-
ers should see to it that no rival ur
any one acting for him or through curl
osity or uther motive should have &C.
cess to the information of individual
manufacturers.
While we believe individuals are
entitled to this protection, and that
it should be furnished them by Con-
gress, yet we think the. publication of
revenue returns by districts, except in
the case where but one manufacturer
is located, should not be tabooed, for
such information is quite valuable to
the leaf trade, and in fact of interest
to all branches of the trade, and in
such case no individual confidence is
violated or business exposed to the
scrutiny of rival.
Last week we stated that this week
SENTINEL would contain the full text
of the Supreme Couct's decision in
the case of Boyer VS.. league. We
have decided not to publish it, be-
cause we would have to issue about
three extra editions and leave out all
advertising in order to get it in. A
good part of it is a review of the evil
dence, a report of which was printed

MI HOLLY, Sept. n, 1s9O.--On August
10 Mrs Porter was arrested for brutalIy
beating little Georgia Doughty, ten years
old, with carriage whip. Physicians
testified that the child's treatment was
extremely inhuman. They found her
lips terribly bruised, indentations in her
back. deep cuts in her head, big bruise
over her kidneys. and the arms a mass eff
bruises from the wrists TO the shoulders
Mrs. Porter yesterday pleaded guilty to
the indictment found against her, but
claimed that the child was whipped for
repeated thefts of money. She was fined
only 81.
Frank Bowker's sentence was another
surprise. In August last ne entered a

hills of growing corn, and having a gun

JERSEY BOYS GOT THAR.
They Won the First Game
for the Amateur Cham
ship Of the World.
TOO WET FOR TENNIS PLAYING,
At the Traps at ClaremOnt and
Bergen Point.

The teams of the New jersey and De-
froit Athletic Clubs met yesterday after
noon on the Polo Grounds in the first en-
counter of the series between them for
the national championship of the Anna
teur Athletic Unions Base Ball League,
and the seven hundred partisans of the
aggregations who were not to be bluffed
by the threatening weather saw battle
royal with bat and ball which the DER
seymen managed to win by an ace.
The Jerseymen made their third essay
yield two runs, which feat aroused
among their contingent of rooters the
most intense excitement and enthus1as N.
Walter Currie gently rolled the ball
slowly toward third base and secured
scratch hit. Carey popped Miller ny
that was muffed and gained first, while
Currie went down to second. Chauncey
drove skyrocket far into the centre
field, the hit counting for d single, and
Gurrie advanced to third, Carey reaching
second. Doc Currie succumbed TO a
foul tip, and Smith batCed to the right a
line single nit. upon which both Currie
and Carey tailed.
The example at run getting set by the
Jerseyites put the Detroits upon their
mettle and they contrived TO neutralize
the lead by scoring pair of runs through
Garey's costly tumble of Walsh's hit in
their fourth trial. Two men were out
when Miller. who had acquired first on
called balls, was sent to second by Codd's
forced hit. Each man moved up base
because of wild pitch. Then Carey
made his misplay and the couple COM
pleted the circuit. No more run-gather-
ing was accomplished until the seventh
inning, when the Jerseymen worked in
the winning run. Joe Currie banged
terrific liner to centre field,
and walked to second, when Codd
gave his brother Walter first base on
called balls. Casey fouled out to Walsh,
and the chances for scoring looked SLIM
he being the second man out. Veteran
Dan Chauncey, the next man up, took
advantage Of a straight ball and dropped
it for TWO bags against the right field
fence, letting Joe score and Waiter go
TO third. A peculiar feature Of the game
was that aside from four of these safe
hits, the Jerseymen did not bat ball in
TO the outheld. The Detroits gagged
Currie's delivery fairly WE'LL but could
not hit the ball safely when necessary.
The score follows

brittle wood, the stems one or two inches
in thickness. tt is curious to note how
the woody fibers of the roots force them
selves into and interlock with the fibers
of it's host. Cut off the limb of an oak
where the mistletoe is growing and one
can easily note the yellowish wood of the
mistletoe, where it has engrafted itself
into the oak and draws it's sustenance
from the life-current of the tree. 1t is not
rare to find a tree that has been robbed
of it's sap beyond it's ability, when the
limb and the too greedy parasite have
both died from starvation.
In the mountains the pine trees some
times are found to support leafess va
riety, commonly known as the pine mis-
tletoe, belonging to third genus named
arceuthobium, of which two species are
accredited to San Diego county. Any one
desiring to make it's personal acqaint-
ance can find by diligent search an album
dance along the course of the Tia Juana,
the Sweetwater, or the San Diego rivers,
or in any of the larger valleys away from
the sea-coast. Although abundant, it
seems to be little known to the inhabi-
tants of Southern and Lower California.

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
FLORAL EMBLEMS,

oh, roses for hearts in the dream of love,
And lilies for children who know not strife
Sweet jessamines, white as the stars above
To lay DER the hearts that are done with life;
In the shelter of vines let the sorrowing be
Hid safe in their mantles of Charity.
Forget me-nots are dainty and fair,
And tell of remembrance that hath no scope,
Violets blue as the upper air,
Whisper promise of fadeless Hope;
But they hide not truly and tenderly
AS the clinging vines in their Charity.
Like Faith are the vines when they strive and
grow,
When the skies are grey and the winds are chill
The emblems of Hope, when upward they go,
Onward, higher climbing still:
And still as they climb how tenderly
They hide with their mantles of Charity.
