TRINITY TO GO TO DURHAM.

Col. ]. w. Alspaugh, of this city
President # the Board Of Trustees of
Trinity College, has been requested to
cali meeting of the Board in Dur
ham on the Goth inst.
It is understood that this meeting
is for the purpose of receiving from
that plucky city donation of $780,
900 to the endowment fund of the
college. This, together with the $40,
600 endowment which Trinity already
has, will run the total up to $780,.
600.
- This great increase, we believe, will
.sassure the location of Trinity College
in Durhem.
THE SENTINEL congratulates Trim
ity College. It is just now entering a
grand Geld and its future seems glori-
GUS We also congratulate Durham
on the fact that it had generosity and
nerve enough to do the grandest act,
in an educational line, ever done in
North Carolina.

POLITICS IN YADKIN,

A friend of The SENTINEL, who
lives in Yadkin county, writes US as
follows:
"The Republican party in this coun-
ty is sick unto death at the revenue
appointments that Pinnix has made
and that they are running the standing
of their party and its future hold on
this county is as plain as day light.
The majority are young fellows and
the old party war horses here are up
in arms against them. 1t is fun to
hear the staunch old Republicans,
who have stood by their party, let out.
We are going to put old 4adkin in
the ranks of Democracy this fall y
This is not the irstscomplaint that
has come to our ears of the dissatisfac-
ton with the radical revenue raiders
in Yadkin. The SENTINEL several
weeks ago published an article from
tried republican of Yadkin, arraign-
ing what he termed "Pinnix's pups"
in severe terms. The writer of the
article called each man by name and
applied some exceedingly uncompli-
mentary names to them, but as it is
the policy of THE SENTINEL never to
allow personal abuse through its col
umns, as we'll as to give all men fair
play, we declined to publish the article
as written, and so eliminated the objec-
tionable parts and published the gen
eral statements.
Since then we have received an
other article, similar to this, but with
out the name of the writer, calling
Mr.. Pinnix's deputies by some sui
phurous names.
. These facts go to show that the best
element of the Republican party in
Yadkin has become disguised by the
officers which the agents of this ad
ministration have put upon them and
that they will show their indignation
by voting for Democracy and honest
government next fall.
THE SENTINEL sincerely trusts that
they will and that we may have the
pleasure of printing "Yadkin county
has gone Democratic by an over
whelming majority"
So mote it be.

This issue of The SENTINEL, in a
measure, reflects the progress of Win.
ston Salem.
In its reading columns it gives an
extended account of the electric street
railway, an enthusiastic meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce, the proba-
bility of a government building and
of free mail delivery, the facts con.
corning a magnificent new hotel and
the probability of the establishment
of a big steel and iron plant.
Not only in its reading columns, but
in its advertising columns, it shows
that this city is leagued with enter
prise. The advertising columns CT a
paper are always the surest test of a
city's prosperity, and this issue of The
SENTINEL, containing many hand
some advertisements of our business
men, shows that Winston-Salem's
prosperity is increasing.
It also shows that the liking which
The SENTINEL has for this city is
mutual. This paper, without making
any very great blow about it, has Ia
bored earnestly and continuously for
w nston-Salem's welfare, and Wins
ton-Salem are now showing their ap
3reciation of THE SENTINEL by Civ
ing it generous patronage, which, if
continued and increased, will enable
our efforts for the city to become
stronger and more efficient with every
issue.

The Wherefore of the Exodus.
TFrom the Durham Globe


A New Orleans correspondent OF
the New York Herald says f1r. Rich
ardson, the largest cotton planter in
the world stands at the head Of the
powerful coterie of planters which
has been instrumental in causing the
recent eat migration f groes.
Cor .inuing, he says: 1.-The whole
mo ement has been skilfully engineer
ed l. 4 the agents of the Wilson family,
of New York, which largely owns the
Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
railway, and desired to o en- to cultiva-
ton the rich Mississippi bottom lands
adjoining it, and owned by Richardson
and his fellow planters, who have. had
the choice of these lands. Neither
persecution of the negro alleged nor
poll les has had any part in it. The
matter wos purely business specula-
ton, by which every negro secured,
added exactly $3.50 in cash each year
to the planter who gave him work"

BROWN & BROWN,
mrs. JOE PERSONS REMEDY
NEVER FAILS TO CURE
sEROEUIA.

CEFFo, Person Co, N. G..
I used Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
on negro boy living at my house,
who ID been afflicted from an infant.
All who saw the boy at the time he
commenced the Remedy thought he
could we but a few days. He was
totally unable to walk a step, had four
or five large running sores which were
very offensive. The inside of his
mouth and his tongue were perfectly
raw, lips. SO swollen they appeared to
be turned outwards and were also
raw, both eyes had been closed for
weeks. The boy IS moaO aueU, was in the
tobacco field few days ago at work.
Eight bottles of Remedy made this
cure, and it has been year since he
was cured.
