THE NEWS IN GUlLFORD.
[ From the Greensboro North State. I


The organization of the Green's
boro Brick and Thing Company will
be perfected at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce this evening
at 7:3O o'clock.
DR.. j. w. Griffith has taken the
lead in an effort to secure the cree
ton of a patent roller Touring mill,
a thing much needed in Greensboro.
He proposes to raise a capital stock
of SO, 900, to be divided into shares
of $50 each, and he especially desires
the wheat-growers of Guilford and
the adjacent counties to take stock
in the enterprise.
1t was the universal remark of all
the numerous throng present that
the marriage ceremony celebrated
yesterday at the Episcopal church,
was the most beautiful that had
ever been witnessed in Greensboro.
The occasion referred to was that of
the nuptials of Miss Mamie Keogh,
daughter of Col. Thomas B. Keogh,
and Mr.. Ellison Gilmer, son of Jud ge
John A. Gilmer.
Colonel McCarty and Mr.. Ashton,
the former a civil and mining en-
gineer and an inventor of great re-
putation, and the latter capitalist
and promoter of large industrial
enterprises, have been at the McAdoo
this week. They control patents
granted Colonel mccarthy for making
steel direct from crude ore, a process
which the Manufacturers Record
says will revolutionize the manufac-
ture of Bessemer pig iron and steel.
They will make close Investigations
North Carolina with a view of decid-
ing whether OF not they will con-
struct a steel plant at Greensboro or
some point in this region.

Our City Elections.


On Tuesday Winston elected nine
commissioners, to hold office for the
next two years.
Under the new charter, there were
three polling places-one for each
ward-and, consequently, there was
no crowd and very little electioneer-
ing.
There were citizens tickets put
out against the regular Democratic
nominees in the first and second
wards, but they got little support,
the Democrats going in by big maj
critics.
In the. third ward everybody ex-
pected the Republicans to carry their
ticket, although the Democrats put
a ticket in the field. AS might have
been expected, every commissioners in
the third ward is a negro who "votes
de publikin ticket"
The following are the commission.
ers elected:
First ward: S. D. Hodgin, p. N.
Bailey, W. B. Carter.
Second ward: J. w. Alspaugh, T. T..
| Vaughn, A. j. Gales.
Third ward: j. f. Hughes. r. E.
Clement !, j. B. Gwynn.
The commissioners will elect Ia
mayor at an early meeting, probably
this week.

Roanoke & Southern r. r.

A special from Rocky Mount, Va,
says: Col. Fries, President of the
Virginia and North Carolina Con-
struction Company, was in town
court-day sounding the people of
Franklin with reference to the pro-
posed subscription of SIS, 900 to the
Roanoke and Southern Railroad. He
says that he found the people gen.
orally in favor of the subscription
under the conditions proposed. A
large and enthusiastic railroad meet
ing was held in the courthouse last
night, at which Judge George D. Pes
tiers presided. The bill recently pass
ed by the General Assembly allowing
the people to vote on the proposed
subscription was read, as was also
an order of Franklin county court
fixing the date of the election on
March Goth. The order requires the
company to complete the road
through the county a distance of 80
miles before any county bonds shall
be issued. The company proposes
to pay the tax on their road as re-
quired by law, at the rate of SIS, 600
per mile, which with sinking fund
they create will pay off the bonds in
thirty-five years. In other words,
Franklin county gets thirty miles OF
a trunk line of railroad through the
heart of the country without the ex-
penditure of one dollar. Our people
are jubllant over the prospect, and
the subscription will be voted.

the neighborhood of Walnut Cove,
accidentally killed himself last week
He had borrowed a shotgun, and
when he carried it home the owner
inquired if the gun was loaded. Lane
did not remember, so he placed his
mouth over the muzzle of the gun,
pushing back the hammer with his
foot. His foot slipped off, the gun
exploded and killed him instantly.
The entire load lodged in the back of
his head

Notes from Yadkin County.

The SENTINEL traveller has just
returned from Yadkin court, where
he secured perhaps the largest list Of
subscribers ever gotten by any paper
during court week. We return our
sincere thanks to our friends for
showing their appreciation of The
SENTINEL so generously.
Our traveller gives us the following
news items from Yadkin:
Mr. l. A. FARRELL, a prominent man
and Mason, died Monday night and
was buried with Masonic honOrs. He
leaves a wife and three children.
Mr. Moses Grace, Of knobstown,
died Saturday night, aged 80 years.
He was a good man and had been a
member of the Baptist church for so
years.
DR.. J. NJ. Phillips has stopped
travelling and has located in YadkiE-
vile.
Our old and esteemed friend, Mr..
VIM. Reynolds (Aunt Bill informs
us that two Mormon elders are hold
ing monthly meetings in Yadkinville
and other parts of the county TRY
tar and feathers.
Court opened Monday. Judge Mer-
rimon's address to the grand jury
was about two and a half hours
long. Mr.. Geo. Reavis was foreman.
There were 81 criminal and 81 civil
cases on the docket, mostly unimpor-
tant ones. Columbus Sprinkle and
Geo Ireland were sentenced to work
on the Forsyth county roads 6
months. The State law provides
that if any county has not adopted
the road law it may send it's convicts

ing lawyers were Chaffin and Gather
of Mocksville; Williams, Glenn and
Watson, of Winston; Folk, of Cald-
well; Furches, of Iredell; Holcomb
Folger and Reece, of Surry county.
The attack on the revenue ring
which a Republican of Yadkin made
through the columns of The SENTI
MEL last week created a profound
sensation and our traveller could
scarcely hand out SENTINELs fast
enough to the people who were eager
to read it.

The concerts were exceedingly en-
joyable. The Emersons and their as
sociates are ladies and gentlemen of

please Mrs Emerson's voice is SIM
ply glorious. 1t filed Brown Opera

Valuable Information for the Farmers
Who Sell on this Market

VALUABLE lntOIIndtlOn LOT the a1meIS
Who Sell on this Market
We saw I, farmer yesterday with
six bolts of cloth with which to pro-
tect his plant-beds from the insects.
Mr.. H. E. Harmon, of the South
ern T0baccO Journal, was in the city
last week, interviewing our tobacco
men.
We notice a great many fancy lots
of the golden weed at Piedmont this
week. The owners of them wore a
happy smile when they received their
checks
Mr.. John johnson, who lives near
Friedburg in this county, had an
other fine load of tobacco at the
Farmers Warehouse to-day. Mr..
johnson will average over 40 cents
for his entire crop.
The continuous warm weather will
IN all probability cause a big crop of
tobacco flies Farmers should have
have their plant-beds we'll canvassed.
The festive green horn worm will
also be numerous this year.
While it has not become necessary
to run double sales this week, breaks
are quite large, sales lasting the en-
tire day, at rapid rate of selling.
Prices on all goods still remain good
nd fcfn ~ f,r
ers that they are rushing the re-
mainder of their crops on the market
as rapidly as they can get it ready.
In this they are sensible.
Every grade of tobacco is selling
we'll on this market. Filters are in
demand, and are eagerly taken by
our manufacturers. Our wrapper
buyers are On the alert for every
thing good in their line. Smokers
and cutters have their special friends
and are selling well. In fact there is
no grade or quality neglected. Win
ston has the buyer, the factories
and the leaf-dealers, which is a neces
sary combination for IL successful
market.
Mr.. S. E. Lo.gins, of Stokes, sold
a load OF tobacco at Browns yester-
day, that averaged him over so
cents. 1t was fine and silky, and the
leaves were nearly perfect. Mr.. Log
ms says his tobacco is never flea or
bug eaten, and his way of preventing
it is quite sensible and should be fol-
lowed by all farmers. When he pulls
the suckers from the plant, he throws
them down around the stalk of the
plant. These, as they begin to wither
and decay, attract the bug from the
plant, and thus prevents to u great
extent the leaf from becoming "Dug
sucked"
