Coming to North Carolina.
From. tie Chatham Record. I


About two months ago, Mr.. P. Z.
Wolf, a thrifty and intelligent farmer
from West Virginia, came to this
place for, the purpose of inspecting
our lands with view of moving here.
He seemed much pleased, but deemed
it prudent before buying to visit other
portions of the State, which be did.
After visiting several places he return.
ed here and again examined the coun-
try around here, and stated that he
was better pleased here than anywhere
he had visited. When he left here he
had not decided what farm he would
buy, but lest week a letter was receiv-
ed from him stating that he had con-
cluded to buy the farm of Mr.. Thomas
F. Petty, two miles east of Pittsboro,
and would arrive here with his family
about the first of October. He also
stated that several of his neighbors-
all thrifty farmers-would come here
this fall for the purpose of buying
farms.

A Good Show Coming.

The SENTINEL never recommends q
play which is bad or Indifferent if it
knows it, but is always glad to an
nounce a good entertainment. From
all that we can gather from the pa
pers, we are inclined to think that
Hettie Bernard Chase is a talented
actress who is worth seeing. Her
company will play in Browns Opera
House next Monday night.
The Roanoke Times says this: Het-
tie Bernard Chase, supported by a
strong company of fine artists, APP
peared last night at the opera house
in Uncle's Darling.'' The house
was packed and the charming SOU
brette won new laurels. Her good
acting was applauded throughout,
and her dancing was encored several
times. The play was one. ofthe most
enjoyable Of the season.

The { ity commissioners.

The commissioners of Winston met
Tuesday for the purpose of levying
taxes for the current year and de-
cided to fix them as follows:
For general purposes 40 cents on
the 500 worth OF property.
For paying interest on the Mocks-
vile Railroad bonds, 10 cents
For interest on the city bonds re-
Gently issued, 20 cents.
For Graded school purposes, 10
cents
This makes the total 10 cents on
each 500. worth of property for
town purposes and 10 cents for Ora
ded school expenses
The poll tax will be s. 10 for gen
eral purposes and 80 cents for Gra-
ded school, making the total poll
tax $2.4O.
Heretofore, a road tax offs 80 has
been levied on each poll, but the
Board considered this an unjust tax
and voted to remit it.
1t was ordered that one per cent. of
the total amount of taxes collected
should be set aside to provide sink
ing fund to pay the bonded indebted
ness of the town.
A charter was granted to the
Southern Bell Telephone Co. which
will be accepted and the construction
of Winston's telephone system will
probably begin in a few days.
The board decided to open a road
into the north end of tile town so
that tobacco wagons can get to the
warehouses without coming down a
street on which the street-cars run.
1t was ordered that work on this be
commenced at once and it will prob
ably be completed next week The
contract for the work was given to
Mr.. Chewing, the railroad con-
tractor. -...-s-.. Ear,

Winston Downs Roanoke.

The Winston baseball team de-
feated the Roanokes last Wednesday
by a score of 10 to 4, and Roanoke
won on Thursday by a score of 4 to 3
and on Friday Winston won by a
score of IA to Z.
But the grand game was on Satur-
day. Each club did it's best and the
result was probably the best game OF
ball ever played in the State. On the
9Th inning each club had scored
three runs and there the score stood
until 10 innings .had been played,
each side doing superb work. At the
beginning of the 18th inning the
Roanokes refused to go to the bat,
which, according to rule and prece-
dent, gives the game to Winston.
Of the four games played between
these clubs at Roanoke, Winston won
two and of the four played in Win
ston last week, Winston won two and
claims a third because of Roanoke's
refusal to go to the bat. The record
thus stands: Winston 5, Roanoke 3.
This victory places Winston in the
very forefront of southern clubs s :

for which neglect he caused her to put
in considerable time after school in
making up.
Ii reached the teachers ears one day
that this maid had decla<ed TO an ad-
miring group that she wouldn't have
her lesson on that afternoon, and II the
teacher kept her after school he would
have the privilege of sitting up n
night with her mt any rate before she
would make the lesson up. This idea
caused much excitement among the
pupils. who are usually ready to enjoy
a teachers discomtituse.
According to the programme the
young lady's lesson that afternoon vas
a complete failure, and she was told to
make it up after school. When the
session ended the other pupils fingered
about with an air. of expectancy to see
the outcome of matters.
The teacher politely showed them
out of the room, however, and then
went in and shut the door. There sat
the damsel with her arms defiantly
folded, and the book closed on the desk
before her. The p~edagogue cordially
invited her to open her book and begin

feet as the velocity of sound per see
ond, we have 22i feet as the distance
sound will travel in one-fifth of a sec.

liz feet distant. the initial sound of an
uttered syllable will be returned to the
