| not know how many Thousand dol
lars' the r. & D. company have
spent, but know Davie county has
paid $4,000 towards it, and l am
inclined to think Forsyth has done
something on that line. Add Davies
and Forsyth's together, and perhaps
when the amount is subtracted from
cost of work done there may not be
large amount advanced by the R.

on, and as the ''truth of the pudding
is in the eating" let us have the road
as soon as possible, aud we will no
longer be doubling Thomases

All that is necessary to destroy ev-
water power in the old North State is
for some one to complain, carry
around petition, get people to sign
it, whether they care anything about
it or not, and away goes thousands
upon thousands of valuable prop
erty. Can it be possible that a mans
property is no better, protected I'M
der the constitution and laws of
North Carolina than that? If not,
the Legislature had better be conven-
ed at once before the destruction
goes any further.
Inow hear threats against Brown
& Bros pond and others. Where is
it to end?
But there is another side to this
subject. People who sign these petit
tions should be aware that when
they have removed all the water mills
then they will pay larger toll for
grinding than they do now, for if 1
am not misinformed the law allows
steam mills to charge more toll than
water mills
This is a matter l think we should
go slow in. 1t is no small matter to
destroy a mans property. We are
anxious to get northern capital
among us to develop our resources.
Will this be encouraging news to
them? BERK

Now, all we ask is 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 cons
iidence? 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 a large salary7
But, we claim that his tests are
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
at exhorbitant prices.

Farmers Alliance Pic Mic.
Reported for 7h, Sentinel, ]


1t was the privilege Of your cores
pondent to be present at the Picnic
at Fiat Rock last Saturday. The
people began to gather early in the
day and by IL o'clock it was estima-
ted that more than one thousand
were on hand to participate in the
pleasures of the day. --
The first thing in the program was
a very practical address by Alex.
Bevel, President of Forsyth County
Farmers Alliance. followed by a
speech by S. A. Hauser. County Or
ganizer. Both speeches were brim-
full of good common sense, delivered
in plain, simple style, setting forth
clearly and forcibly the grand objects
of the Farmers Alliance.
At the close of the astspeech a cor
dial invitation was given to every
body to partake Of the dinner pre-
pared for the occasion. Everybody
responded to the invitation, and here
we found a table some two hundred
feet long literally loaded with all the
good things that any one could de-
sire After all feasted heartily there
was still plenty left.
After dinner, short speeches were
made by n S. Doub, E. L. Fishel, Rev.
4Chaffin Fields and j. r. Evans, coun-
ty organizer of Davidson county.
Space forbids us to speak of these
speeches in detail, but must say they
were all very good
The music during the day, by the
Mendenhall band, was excellent
YOur cOrresDOndent will remember
this as one of the happiest days of
his life. Not being a member OF the
Allihnce, he does not understand the
secret mysteries of the order, but
from the cordial greetings rec lived
from the people, he is of the opinion
that the Alliance as a unit means
nothing but good to all. Unity and
harmony reigned supreme during the
day, and all went away well pleased.

ROCKINGHAM NOTES.
Iron, the ReidsrilIe Weeklu.l


We noticed Mr.. G. o. Williamson,
of Caswell. in town with tobacco last
week. He is being very prominently
spoken of as the next sheriff of Cas-
well and if elected he will make a
good one.
Mr.. Brewer asked for $4,000 for
Reidsville's public building but the
committee cut it down to $25, 900.
We understand they have settled
down on the proposition not to give
any place over three times as much
as the receipts from the Post Office
for one year.
The scaffolding has been removed
and the Old North State smoking to-
bacco factory stands complete, the
handsomest building in town and
without superior in the State.
The northbound freight train which
passed Sunday morning about z
O'Clock had five cars wrecked near
Mr. J. A. Benefits, a mile from town.
The accident was caused by the break
ing of the drawhead of one of the cars,
which tore a curve in tie crossties for
several hundred yards anu forced the
car off the track, others following
The wrecked cars were loaded with
lumber and were torn into flinders.
Col. Dave Settle, looking tall and
handsome, was in town shaking
hands with his numerous friends last
week. An observant citizen says the
Col. would do the old Fifth more
good than any man who can be sent
to the National Capital; that he is
not a silvertongue, but he is an in
domitable worker and attracts the
friendship of all with whom he comes
in contact. Such men are the ones
who control legislation and push the
parties to victory.

Valuable Information for the Farmers
Who Sell on this Market
Farmers Warehouse will soon ha We
another bell.
Mr. Geo. beal, one of Dukes buyers
here, went down to Durham Satur-
day.
Breaks promise to be small this
week, owing to the cold, dry weather.
If there should come n warm rain,
though. we would have good sales.
Tobacco is selling as well this week
as usual.
Harman's big Southern Tobacco
Journal came to us Sunday morning
brim full of attractive advertisements
and the latest tobacco news. The
journal again compliments The SEN
TINEL on it's tobacco department., as
well as the general get up of the pa
per. We can return the compliment
and tell the trath.
Breaks We're not large last week.
Thu was considerable tobacco in
town Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday. however The dry wealth
er cut the receipts short off the last
of the week. and Saturday there was
but little Offering on the market.
Prices were good all the week We
noticed no decline on anything.
What proportion of the present
crop of tobacco yet remains unsold?
This is a question that is now being
asked by tobacco men every day. 1t
is a question that is hard to answer
We have taken it upon ourselves to
ask numbers of people from all sec
tions of our tobacco growing coun-
ties, and have come to the conclu-
sion that there is scarcely one-fourth
of the crop remaining in the hands of
the farmers We have reference, of
course, only to the tobacco sections
that sell on our market.

The Public Building.
The committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce to endeavOr to
secure public building for Winston
has had some correspondence with
Mr. Brewer, who says that he is
hopeful, if he can present the proper
data before Congress. In order to
furnish him with this, Messrs. II. E..
Fries and w. A. Blair have been ap-
pointed a special committee to secure
the information. They are now can
wasting the town to ascertain the
amounts paid out to employees by
the various Industrial concerns.

THE DoINGs IN DAvlE.
From The Moeksviile T,,es. !

| = IFT0M NE H0cXSUtHc 1fHtS51
The body of Abby Hairston, colored,
who was thrown from Hanes' mill,
dam and drowned at Fulton, on the
18th of this month, was found by w.
W. Mills and jacob Samers, who live
below Fulton, on Sunday morning,
having caught on a trout line in the
Yadkin River.
1t Is rumored that the Yadkin Rail-
road, which Is now being built from
Salisbury to Norwood, will be ex-
tended to Wilkesboro. If there is
any truth in this rumor, it means a
great deal for Davie county. If the
road is built, it will pass through our
county and will be of great benefit to
us. Let her come. We will do the
square thing by it.

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 fattering. We haven't had a
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
