The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1891-05-14

Any thing that would tend to
solve the race question in the
South must prove of interest to
the whole American people. So
far it has been a vexed question,
especially SO to those whose
homes placed them in the black
districts of the south. But it
seems that Mr.. Porter's census
just completed shows a condi-
ton in regard to the location of
the colored population of the
South that is quite a surprise
to most every one. The ne
groes select counties in W hic h
their number predomin Il s.
moving in to them, adding still
more to their population. For
instance before the war the rich
planters lived in the lowlands,
where the lands were fertile, and
the richer q district was the more
negroes it possessed. In the bills
the soil was poor, the farmers
could make no money, and "-ere
unable to buy negroes. When
the war was over, the counties
that We're once so rich became
the poorest and We're burdened
with an overwhelming black
population. The former poor
counties lost little, and have
chiefly white inhabitants. Since
then the difference has beer
growing greater, for, oheyinf
the instinct of race, the whites
go to the white counties, ant
the blacks to the black counties
Therefore we find in the sam
State counties in which tn
whites greatly preponderate
and others near by in which th
blacks have a large majority.

BELIEVES He HAS THE RIPPER.
Inspector Byrnes Says That "Frenchy''
Killed Carrie Brown


NEW YORK, May inspector Byrnes is
certain that he has the right man in the
''Shakespeare"-Carrie Brown - murde:
case. He is called "Frencay." and was
arrested the Sunday after the murder.
The inspector IS not positive, but believes
he has chain OF circumstantial evidence
that will send Frenchy to electrothanasia.
The evidence is rs follows: Frenchy was
with the woman on "Wednesday night in
the East River house. During the fol-
lowing day he was in her company nearly
all day. On Thursday night about mid
night Shakespeare" left the barroon
where she and Frenchy were drinking.
Cory Testimony Against the Man.
\ little later she was seen to go u
stairs with strange man. Soon after.
ward FrencAy asked for a room and was
assigned to one directly opposite that oc-
cupied by shakespeare -. When Frenchy
was arrested he had on no undertaking.
He Wore coarse shirt, and a pair of dirty
trousers. Blood was discovered on the
shirt On the floor OF the hallway
between the rooms occupied by t.a
Brown woman and Frenchy, several spots
OF blood were discovered. On the inside
of the door Of Frenchy's room were blood
stains. Tue blanket in the room had c!o :
OF blood upon it as if n person had wiped
his hands upon it.

An exchange says that the discovery
has been accidently made that -four
thrown on burning oil will extinguish il
instantly. An old lady was coming GU;
OF pantry with a pan of -four when a
lamp exploded and the oil was at once in
flames. In her fright she dropped the
pan of flour. which falling on the burn
ing oil. extinguished it. Some one who
heard of the incident had an opportunity
OF testing it practically soon after, and
tie device worked exactly as stated. I,
is well worth making note of, as water
is worse than useless in such q case.
