The Railroad in Wilkes.

Yesterdays Wilkesboro Chronicle
contains these three railroad items
There is talk that the railroad will
not stop any length of time at this
place, but will go right on to Patter-
son, Caldwell county.
Col. Andrews has informed the
Statesville Chamber of Commerce
that as soon as his other business
will permit, he will confer with them
concerning the extension of the Tay-
louisville railroad to Wilkesboro.
The Railroad authorities have got
a move on them that counts. If you
meet one on horseback, he is riding in
Il gallop; if in IL buggy, in a sweeping
trot. The bosses are working their
forces for all they are worth. There
is general move on all along the
whole line. They seem to be strain
ing every nerve to reach Roaring
River. On last Wednesday the track
had been laid the distance of three or
four miles in the country. We sup
pose that thev have by this time
reached to within some four or five
miles of Roaring River, which place
the train will reach by the last OF
this month.

AnV House in North Carolina +!

Now, all we ask is a little investi-
CATION on your part to see if what
we say is not the truth. If it is,
are we not entitled to your con-
fidence? If not the truth, you owe
it to yourselves and your neighbors
to expose our fallacies. We claim
that we brought down the prices of
dealers in other brands of Fertilizers
this is a fact which is evident to
most of you. Again, we claim that
we sold Fertilizers at much less
profit than any dealer here; and in
proof of this, we will refer you to
the Bulletin issued by the State
Board of Agriculture, giving the
analyses of the different brands of
Fertilizers sold in the State, and
their worth; and, and according to
this, we sold our goods at from $500
to $500 per ton less than other
goods sold here, having an analysis
lower than ours-thereby proving
conclusively that we sold at a much
less profit than other dealers. Well,
says one, there is no truth in the fig
ures given by the State Chemist.
That being the case, why do you
keep him employed at large salary?
But, we claim that his tests are a
true basis upon which to judge of
the merits of the different Fertilizers,
and if it was not for him the State
would be flooded with worthless stuff

Visiting Lawyers.
The following members of the bar
from nearby towns are in attendance
on Forsyth Superior court this week:
A. Joyce and w. W. King, of Dan

more, of Mt. Airy, J. A. Gilmer and
w. $. Ball, of Greensboro, Fl. r.
Scott and Thos. Settle, of Reidsville,
and W. w. Barber, of Wilkesboro.
\ glance at these names reveals
many political aspirants. Close by
Mr.. Buxton, in the court room, sits
Judge Gilmer, his opponent for the
congressional nomination on the
Den ocratic ticket. Near them are
Messrs. Thos Settle and A. H. Joyce.
one of whom will almost certainly
come before the Republican congress
ional convention. Then there are
Messrs. King ard Barber, each of
whom is mentioned for the place of
solicitor and each of whom would, if
run against Tom Settle for Solicitor,
give him Il hot race. b sides these
there are Messrs. Graves and Hay
more who have not AS yet come into
the field for honors but whose ability
and popularity will not let them al
ways remain in the unofficial ranks,
Altogether, it is a fine lot of men
attending court this week with much
of worth and ability to recommend

ZION. w. r. HENDERSON,.
Letters have recently been written
to Hon. w. F. Henderson, the dis
tinguished orator of Lexington, invi-
ting him to come to Winston and de-
liver a lecture He was asked to be
here tonight but important engage
ments prevented. He writes THE

complished in the hast century, and

The SENTINEL desires to state that
this lecture is "feast of reason and
a flow of SOUL" 1t has won the high
est praise of the people Of Statesville,
Salisbury and other points, and the
people of Winston will certainly give
the eloquent gentleman a large au-

Salisbury Wants the R. as.

SALISBURY wants the H. q >.
The Salisbury correspondent of the
Charlotte Chronicle says:
Salisbury is very much stirred up
ut present on the railroad question.
While other towns on the proposed
line of the Roanoke and Southern are
preparing to make bids, Salisbury
does not propose to getleft. Ameet-
ing of the citizens of Rowan county is
called to be held at the court house
on Saturday May 9th, "to mutually
devise, discuss and mature plan by
which to induce the Roanoke and
Southern Railway Company to ex-
tend their line through the town of
Salisbury" The call is made by the
Railroad Committee of the Salisbury
Chamber of Commerce. tits thought
that there will be no difficulty in get
ting the county to subscribe $780,
900, and assurances have been given
that the road will be extended
through Salisbury for that amount.
The SENTINEL is inclined to think
the latter half of the last sentence is
not true. From the best Information
at hand we do not think any assur-
ances have been made to any town.
1t is a free, fair contest for all the
towns which want the road.

Old Dominion Guano and
Farmers Friend Fertilizer!
FOR FINE TOBACCO!
Registers High Grade Acid
Phosphate. For Grain, &c.

These three brands we have sold,
and we confidently claim for them a
record second to none. We have
made strict inquiry of those who
bought of us as to their merits, and
the testimonials in every instance are
very fiattering. We haven't had
single complaint. Many farmers
say they used it, side by side with
other and higher cost grades, and
that it is as good as any and in many
instances better. We want no bet
ter record for it than it has been
made wherever used. Now ABOUT
PRICES: Our position is this: If
the farmer can increase the yield and
enhance the value of his products
by using Fertilizers, then the more
he uses the better it is for HIM and
for the merchant. Consequently
your interests and our interests
are identical, and anything we
can do TO help you will behelping
ourselves, and it stands to reason
that the cheaper we sell to you
the more you can buy, hence the in
creased benefit to both of us is evil
dent. We claim, without fear of
honest contradiction, land we believe
our past record will bear us out in
the assertion) that we have shown
more willingness to do, and have
done more towards bringing down
the necessaries of the farmers than
