Promptly at 5:l5 the great horse

made that Nancy. who was holding a
record of 2:O74, was ready to start.
Two prOmpters appeared on the loop
to help her along with the sound of

With her smooth. easy. perfect and
matchless gait, Nancy Hanks trotted

perfect swing she shot past the third

about 4 o'clock, crossed the Yadkin

towns "a small but neat village, and

he also listed with pleased attention
to performance on the spinnet, the
piano of that day, by young lady,
later Mrs. Isaac Boner.
The hotel had its tragedies like all
places where human beings live and

are told, arrived here, and having
virulant small pOX, died. Long after
| it is said his restless ghost wandered
| about. but at last was Queted, and
| has been at rest over fifty years. Mr..

| to the Salem hotel. and raised peaches
and grapes in his vineyard below the

periments. of which he was fond, in
1857 he blew up himself. The eXplos-

in the wall and scorched and mangled
the poor man terribly. His burial in

| Mr.. LutterlOhe from a distant part of

short absence of his attendant threw

identified with the life Of the place
that it surely ought to be kept up.

REPUBLICAN DOODLE
Will be Sent Into North Carolina Du-
ring the Campaign.

Special Correspondence OF The Sentinel
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. q
North Carolina Republican politicians
this week. Candidates Thomas Set
tie, DR.. J. O. Wilcox and Chairman
Eaves, Collector Rawlings and Nation
al Committeeman Henry c. Cowles
have been negotiating between Wash
ingtOn and the national headquarters
in New York all the week. The
North Carolina situation has conse-
quently been the subject of much dis
cuSSiOn.
AS indicated in this correspondence
some time ago Chairman Carter
decided early in the campaign that
there was lightning chance in the
South and the consultations this week
have been to map out the plans.
a fusion idea has not met with
favor among the leaders here, and
there seems to be no doubt that a
State ticket will be nominated.
REPUBLICAN BooDLE
l learn from reliable sources that
the national committee has promised
all the aid in North Carolina that lies
| in its power. The local leaders who
| called on the committee this week are
said to have given a glowing account
of the Republican possibilities in the
Tar Heel State, and promised that
with Doodle enough, they will carry it
for Harrison. They will get the money,
| at least as much as the national com
mittee can spare. Messrs. Wilcox and
/ Settle were looking after their own
| interests, and especially anxious fol
! help and encouragement in their re-
| Spective districts. Mr.. Settle who il
| just stepping upon the arena of ma
| tional politics, is said to have made {
very favorable impression among the
| older leaders.
| EAvES ON TOP.
| This weeks events prove conclu
Slyely that Eaves is on top in the af
fairs of the Republican party in Nortl
| Carolina, and if Harrison is agaiT
elected, he will hold the major part o
North Carolina patronage.
THE CHOLERA SCARE.
| The cholera scare is SubSiding sine
the heroic action of the AdminiStra
tlon. The precautions taken ar
perhaps the most stringent eve
reSorted to by this country, and if i
is possible to check the progress O
cholera in its beaten track the Unit
ed States will escape the dreade
scourage. The twenty days quaran
tine prohibits immigration for tina
time, and the power of the eXecutiy
to enforce the regulations promulga
ted yesterday, implies the power t
extend the time of quarantine as tn
case may demand and thus PRACTICAL
: stop immigration for an indefinit
| period.

POLITICS AT ELKIN.
The Political Situation is Growing
Brighter Every Week.
Special Correspondence of The Sentinel.1

Special Correspondence of The Sentinel.l
ELKIN, n. c., Sept. 1.-The politi-
cal outlook in this section grows
brighter every day. The Democrats
seem to more fully realize the impor-
tance of the work they have to per-
form than ever before. The few
Republican leaders are disconnected
and lack arguments to rally their
forces with. The old Bloody Shirt
doctrine is played out and the people
are in no humor to listen to d
rehearsal of that.
The country people are beginning
to realize what a high tariff and pro-
lection policy as it exists under the
present administration means to
them, and they are becoming more
firmly attached to Democratic doc
trincs and principles.
The Third party has no one here to
advocate its claims and from the out
look now it seems, to me the best
thing for them ~ do, would be to
acknowledge their &epublicanism and
walk square into the G.. O. Z.

LATE POTATOES.

Since the publication of Bulletin
No. 50 on the late potato crop in the
South, number of growers have
written to me that in their experience
they found it best to cut the potatoes
before bedding to sprOut. My own
experience had seemed to Indicate
that they should not be cut, and |
therefore insisted upon planting them
whole. This season | have tested
both methods and find that while all
the cut potatoes sprouted in time for
planting in August, a large number
of the uncut ones failed to sprout.
As one who attempts to instruct 9th
erS should always be sure of his points,
| write this to say that the indica-
tions seem to point to an error on my
part in insisting so strongly upon not
cutting. We will continue to test the
matter in other seasons, and hope
planters may also test both methods
so that the truth may be defiitely as
certained.- +. Massey. Horticul-
turist, n. G. Experiment Station.

Winston-S Society Hall.

O~~-O--
The Salem Female Academy, an in
stitntiua which -iias many warm
friends all over our fair South land.
has entered upon its ninety-ffrst
session.
A SENTINEL reporter called upon
Principal Clewell last week and
found him the busiest, but perhaps
the happiest man in either town. He
found time, however. to tell the man
of news about the opening and the
bright outlook for this school year.
The session was formally opened at
ten o'clock Thursday morning in the
Academy chapel. The exercises were
conducted by the Principal assisted
by Bishop Rondthaler. Several
citizens from both towns were in at
tendance.
In reply to question as to how
many pupils would be in attendance
this year Mr.. Clewell said:
''NotwithStandin the fact that
there has been and is still a Stringen-
cy in money matters all over the
South, the year promises to be the
most successful for the Academy in
the history of the institution. Tel
register for boarding pupils is mu e
larger than last year. There were
fully twice the number present at the
opening yesterday than were last
year.
1.-the most interesting feature o.
it all continued Mr.. Clewell, is that
there are three hundred names now
on the school register, representing
nearly every State in the South"
The citizens of Winston-Salemh hav,
shown confidence Gin the old Acad
emy this year. The day school mum
bers over one hundred pupils and il
the largest in the history of th'
school.
Such evidence from home peopl,
| show that the school is rightly appre
ciated.
Principal Clewell expressed hi
| warm gratitude for the liberal sup
port of the citizens, and said tina
| their patronage encouraged him t.
put forth greater efforts in maxim,
| the school more useful and satisfacto
| ~ than it had ever been.
This session he added one grade t.
| the college course which places i
| clearly in the lead, in the point 0
grade work, of any educational inst
| tuition in the South.
The trustees of the Academy tax
| great pride in the school and upon tn
advice of the progressive principa
continue to add conveniences to tn
institution. A new building is nov
in course of erection. 1t will be know
as the Society Hall. The building
| which is of Queen Ann style, is tw
stories high and will have two halls
! 20X30 feet each. They will be used b
the 'Euterpian and Hesperian Socit
| ties. There will be four class room
on the lower story.

NORTH CAROLINA SAFE.
Congressman Stump Expresses an
Opinion on the Situation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Congressman
Herman Stump of Maryland, was at
the Democratic Headquarters recent
ly and said: I'VE shall not lose a
Force bill issue, if nothing else, will
settle that. If President Harrison
and Speaker Reed had not been SO
anxious to pass the Force bill in the
Eifty-first Congress, they might now
have some little chance in North Car
-Olina, and possibly in West Virginia.
AS it is, we shall suffer no losses any
where in the South. North Carolina
will be the scene of a spirited contest,
but / have information which leads
me to believe the State is safe for
Cleveland and Stevenson by good
majority"

He drew graphic picture of the
