With this issue I sever my connec
ton with The SENTINEL. I have, in
common with the other stockholders
sold my interest in the SENTINEL to a
stock company, that it may be con-
solidated with the Iaoin- City Daily
under the name of the Daily and
Weekly Sentinel.
In parting company with many
whose kindness has often touched me
deeply, 1 wish to tender my thanks to
the subscribers and advertisers of THE
SENTINEL. I am certain that no pa
per has ever had more appreciative
clientage. They have spoken many
words of kindness which have cheered
and strengthened me in my efforts to
publish a clean, honest, Democratic
newspaper.
Three and half years ago I took
charge Of The SENTINEL, which was
then losing money with every issue.
The first year found me with deficit
instead of a surplus. But the hardest
kind of work, aided by a generous
public, has enabled me to make of THE
SENTINEL one of the best paying
newspaper properties in North Caro-
lima. The SENTINEL is to-day sue
cess. Its patrons have been kind
enough frequently to say that it de-
served success and I am proud and
glad to say that it has achieved it.
1t would afford me pleasure to
continue at The SENTINEL's helm,
were it not for the fact that other
fields offer greater inducements. Even
the most prosperous newspapers in
North Carolina yield but scaut remu-
neration for the enormous amount
of work they require. This being 30,
I feel it my duty to myself to retire
from journalism.
I do not expect to leave Winston.
This is my home. My feelings as well
as my interests make me a permanent
citizen. I regard Winston Salem as
the ivest, best and most progressive
town in the State. In addition to
that, it is brim.full Of Gods own PEG.

I will not indulge in the sadness of

A new industry has recently been

Aslroit Apache Thieves.

The Franco-Arabs of Algeria, reput.
ed the keenest set of thieves that ever
lived, could not compare in that re.
spect with some of our North Ameri-
can Indians; especially in the matter
of stealing horses and cattle. When
Arivaca was occupied great precau-
tons were taken to prevent the theft
of stock.
The work animals were driven into
a strongly made corral every evening
after dark. A small adobe house, in
which the vaqueros slept, stood oppo-
site the entrance with the door front
ing the gate, SO that it was supposed
nothing could go in or out without at
tracing the attention of the guard.
Watch dogs were kept, in order that
the guard might be aroused in case he
should happen to fall asleep during
his watch, and the vaqueros were
obliged to keep their doors open. The
bars of the gate were fastened with a
heavy chain dashed around them, so
that the least movement would be
likely to make noise. Besides there
were white men in several of the
quarters, we'll armed and always on
the alert.
With all these precautions band of
four or five Apaches came one night
and attempted to cut through the wall
by saving gap in it with their hair
riatas; but they found the material
too hard, and chose the alternative OF
making an attempt ON the gate.
To get the bars down without max
ing noise, they carefully unfastened
the chain, and taking it link by link
III their serapes as they moved it, ac-
tually succeeded in effecting an open

English contractors was writing for an

boy was acting as driver for party
who were enjoying sleigh ride upon
the glare ice of the river, they saw a
number of smelt fishermen, with their
little fish houses upon handsleds, a
stovepipe issuing from each roof, go
ing to the fishing grounds. The lady
asked what the buildings were and
was told by the wicked youth that it
was a custom with the inhabitants of
this country to build their houses upon
sleds, and that the winter time was
their season of moving. This story,

The Date of the Declaration.

Professor John B. McMaster, the his
torian, was asked last night for his views
of the letter of Thomas Mexican that.was
read by ex-Secretary Bayard at the I'm.
yelling of the monument to Cesar Rod
ney. Mr.. McMaster said: "There is
nothing in the letter that was not al
ready known. 1t is well known that the
Declaration of Independence was adopted
on July and was read to the public
from the State House steps ON July A.,
and SO became public document. 1t
was not at that time signed by all the
colonial delegates, for the reason, among
others, that several of them were waiting
for clearer instructions from their re-
spective colonies. 1t was signed after
these instructions had been given. The
secret journals of the colonial congress
have quite all been published in frag-
ments. What remains Of them are on
deposit in the state department at Wash
ington, and their contents are well
known. It seems to me that congress
ought to make an appropriation to have
them all printed, together with letters
and other manuscripts throwing adj
ditional light on the subject. The jour
mails are now, of course, necessarily i'm
perfect. The sessions of the congress
were private. Nobody was admitted ex-
cept members, unless by leave, and only
a record of proceedings was made that
would be safe. The journals were also
partly burned when the British were in
Washington in 1914; and afterward by
an accidental fire. philadelphia Press.
