THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
1t Takes Steps to Let The World Know
of Winston-Sa!em's Progress

l
1t Takes Steps to Let The World Know
of Winston-Sa!em's Progress
| The most enthusiastic meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce we have
ever attended was held Tuesday
night
1t seemed that every man present
| was imbued with desire to- say and
do something for the advancement
of Winston-Salem.
A proposition was submitted from
the New York World. offering to pub
fish eight letters descriptive of Win
| ston-Salem's resources for 1000,
and a motion was passed to appoint
a committee of three to canvass the
city for the purpose of raising this
| amount.
The committee appointed are: W.
| A. Whitaker, chairman; E. E.. Gray
and j. l.. Ludlow. They have al
ready secured a considerable amount
and the prospects are that the entire
sum will be pledged this week.
1t was understood that the letters
were to be under the supervision of
a committee. who could have the ar
ticles for the World prepared in ac-
cordance with their views.
The advertising committee referred
| to above is to be a standing COM
| mittee on advertising the town, and
it is believed that the present ex-
| penditure is only a starter-that
money will be spent to herald the
enterprise and the advantages of
Winston-Salem in every large city in
America and in England.
Many of our leading citizens spoke
on the subject and showed their en-
tire willingness to contribute hand
| somely to any plan that would adj
vance this city. Among the remarks
made were some by Mr. Jas. A. Gray
in behalf of Il better support of the
| local papers that were cordially re-
ceived. He said that the COnstitu-
ton built Atlanta because the bus
mess men of that city stood at the
| back of Henry Grady and furnished
him with all the cash it needed in it's
efforts to boom the town. Every
word Mr.. Gray said was just and
The SENTINEL, for its part, gratefully
appreciated his remarks:
A committee was appointed to con-
| fer with the railroad authorities and
| to see if schedule could be arranged
that would be more advantageous to
| Winston-Salem Mr. Hinshaw stat
ed that the railroad companies al
ready had the matter under advise
ment and that he thought satisfac-
tory schedule would be issued in a
few days.
Mr.. Ludlow INDUCED in some hum
orous remarks concerning the pre-
| sent courthouse and the Chamber
| announced it's entire Willingness to
| cooperate with our friends in the
country in securing a better building.
A committee was appointed to
look after the public building and
free mail delivery, and as the matter
has fallen in such good hands, The
SENTINEL has no doubt that it's sug-
gestions made elsewhere will receive
careful consideration.
The meeting throughout was mark
ed with that earnestness that means
business, and when it adjourned ev-
cry man present felt that a great
work is doing and will be done for
our city.
1t was decided to hold grand
Fourth of July celebration this year
and the following committee was ap-
pointed to prepare for it: E. E.
Gray. T. J. Brown, A. b. Gorrell, DR..
II. 7. Bahnson and C.. A. Hege.

w1NsroN's NEW HOTEL.
1t Will Certainly be Built and Will Cost
One Hundred Thousand Dollars

We note in the Asheville papers of
this week that every hotel in that
city is filed with guests and that
at Salisbury were warned by tels'-
gram that if they went to Asheville
they could find no Accommodations.
What's the matter with their com
ing to Winston?
Nothing, except that heretofore
Winston has not had hotels that
could compare with those of Ashe-
vile.
But THE SENTINEL rejoices to-day
in the fact that Winston will soon be
able to throw open the doors of a
palace and invite the Northern tour
lists to make this their winter home.
In conversation with Mr.. E. L.
Hawkes., vice-president and manager
of the WinstOn-Salem Electric Street
Railway Co, we were yesterday inform
ed that he has succeeded in interest
ing capitalists in n big hotel for this
city. One gentleman alone wants
$4,000 worth of sock in the enter
prise and he is hone other than Mr.
d. ". c. Benbow, proprietor of the
BenbOw house in Greensboro. He is
willing to put his money in the new
hotel here and believes it will pay.
Other parties in the North have
agreed to take stock and the venture
is now an assured fact. Some of the
stockholders will come to Winston
during the next two weeks, plans will
be made and the erection of the
building begun at an early date.
The hotel will be on the west side of
Winston, at the terminus of Fourth
street. 1t is to have curved drive
ways leading up to it and the woods
to the south are to b.. turned into q
magnificent park.
The lawns are to be terraced and
beautified with shrubbery and suatu-
airy.
The building alone will cost $780,
OOO 1t will be built entirely of wood
and will be one of the moet beautiful
and imposing structures in the
South,-a fitting crown to the en-
ergy, enterprise and progress of this,
the most prosperous city in North
Carolina.
Besides the cost of the building, a
large amount of money will be ex-
pended in identifying the grounds,
building long stretches of drive-ways
and in otherwise improving the ma
tural beauty of the scenery.
With the easy accessibility of Win
ston, its many attractions as a city,
it's pure air and water and it's grand
view of the SauratOwn range and the
old Pilot mountain, it will not be
long before the travelling public will
discover in it a most charming place
for the pleasure seeker md a sanata-
rum of healing for the feeble and the
sick.

Hog or No Hog.

The late Board of City Commission
ers passed resolution banishiug the
hog from our city's corporate limits
The present Board, in order to as
certain the wishes of the voters, have
ordered an election to be held on Fri

of 9 and 4. Those who want the hog
to stay will vote ticket for Repeal
and those who want him to 60 will
vote for ''No Repeal" Every man
who stays away from the polls will
be considered as voting for the ban
ishment of the hog
AS each ward goes, SO will the Com
missiOners from that ward vote on
the question at the Commissioners
meeting.
Since the great ,st majority of peo-
pie in the first and second wards are
''against the hog we supposehe will
have to ego"

The Sham Family. .

Mr.. James Clement Ambrose, the
celebrated lecturer, has agreed to
stop over in Winston on his way
South and give his amusing lecture
on .'The Sham Family" next Mon
day night. 1t will be for the benefit
of the Graded School library and as
the library has had nothing this

handsome thing and patronize this
good lecture handsomely.
OF the lecture the Indianapolis

received. Everybody laughed until
he cried and held his sides and tried
to laugh again."
The Chicago Tribune says: "Of all

For a Better Court House.

Mr.. E. C. Dull, of Pfafftown, one of
the most public spirited men in the
county, was in The SENTINEL Office
Tuesday, and expressed himself as
favoring a bigger and better court
house for Forsyth county. He was
right in saying that our people need
larger Offices, a consultation room
and reception room where wit
nesses can be comfortable. We hope
to see all good citizens in the county
agree with him and use their influ-
ence for a decent county building.-

WINSTON TOBACCO NEWS.
Who Sell on this Market
Tobacco items scare this week

Valuable Information for the Farmers
Who Sell on this Market
Tobacco items scare this week.
Tobacco is nearly all gone from
Stokes county.
Breaks are not large this week.
Tine weather has not been favorable
for handling.
We don't think there was much
damage done the plants by the cold
weather.
Hartman, the live editor of the
Southern T'ObaccOnist, compliments
The SENTINEL on it's tobacco depart
ment. Thanks, brother.
Last weeks sales closed with good
breaks and fair prices. So far as we
could see, there was no material
change on any grades.
They say that our good friend, Mr..
Whit Pegram, of the LIST National
Bank, will plant I,ig crop of to-
bacco on his farm near town.
1t is rumored that the Farmers
Alliance will run a warehouse here
next year. Don't know anything
about the correctness of the report.
Prices this week remain about the
same. There may be aslight weaken
ing on few grades, but it is scarcely
perceptible. Farmers are generally
satisfied, and that is good sign that
it is doing well.
Our market is visited nearly every
day by tobacco men from other mar
kets. Mr.. Barton, of Reidsville, and
Mr.. VIM. Semple, of Martinsville, Va,
are in the city. They are live young
men, and handle large quantities Of
the weed.
1t is often and frequently truly re-
marked that short crops are gener-
ally long ones. The present crop is
considered a short one. Will it prove
to be long one? We think we are
perfectly safe in saying that it will
for once turn out as predicted, and
result in being short in pounds, but
probably bring as much or more
money.than many long crops.
Col. Burgwyn, of Henderson, open
ed his plug tobacco factory yester-
day, with great ceremonies. There
were speech-making, distinguished
visitors, bands of music and big do
ings generally. The Col. is a pro-
gressive man, and we congratulate
him upon his new enterprise. Wins
ton opens up a new plug factory now
and then, and big ones at that, but
without any flourish or fuss, except
the songs of the hands and the noise
of the machinery.
