THE SHERIFF..

1t is unfortunate for the present
sheriff that his campaign is one of
explanation and defense. The burden
is upon him to show why he did not
arrest DeGraff, the undoubted muir
derer of Ellen Smith, or why he did
not make due effor to take him.
The SENTINEL demonstrated by good
evidence that DeGraff remained near
Winston for sometime after the
shooting, and by one of leagues
friends, weshowed that DeGraff, sent
word that he would deliver himself
up, but the cold, hard fact is that
DeGraff escaped. AS between Judge
Armfeld's letter and the sheriff's
lame statement. there is no sane
man but will give faith to what t.e
Judge says.
The first defense of league by his
friends was put in this form: swell,
who would want togo out and ar
rest desperate with a pistol in each
hand ?' league himselfin his speech
at Bethania says: 81 must acknowl-
edge that | am afraid of lead" The
sheriff had a duty to perform and
| this is conclusive that he was afraid
to perform it.
This county needs and will have a
sheriff more vigilant, Drawer and
more aggressive. His name is Bot
Macarthur. During the campaign
people have been able to see which
was the more aggressive man. 1t il
apparent that league is too mild
hammered a man for the harder par
of a sheriff's duty and every gooo
citizen, without regard to politics
every man who believes in the execu
ton of laws framed to protect th
community from deeds of violence
ought to vote next week for r. NJ
Macarthur and make him by yer.
large majority the next sheriff c
Forsyth county.

SECRET PoL1T1soAL oCIEr1Es

SECRET POLITISCAL OCIETIES
The SENTINEL publishes below the
law OF North Carolina forbidding the
existence of secret political societies
together with the penalty provided |
for the breaking of the law.
After rea ding the law, it will not |
appear remarka BILE that Wilson (G)"
as the Gideonite chief signs himself
in his official communica tions, should
hasten to deny that his society is po-
litical. He expects thus to evade the
penalty of the law.
But can any honest farmer any
longer follow the lead of man who
is breaking the law of his state. Read
the law as given in the Code and see if
| he is not:

the Desperate Fight in the Hall
By United Press to The Sentinel
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A Herald
special from Raleigh, n. c., says
Auditor Sanderlin, while addressing
a Democratic meeting at huntsville.
was attacked by a gang of Republican
desperadoes, led by an outlaw named
Bud Parrott.
Parrott came into the room where
the speaking was going on ilourishing
a bowie knife. He was making for
DR.. Sanderlin when he was set upon
by crowd of Democrats and over
powered. His friends, however, came
to his aid and a fierce hand-to-hand
battle in which knives and revOlyerS
were freely used, took place.
ParrOtt and three of his gang were
killed and one Democrat named Phil
lips was also killed. A dozen men
| were injured by knives and bullets.
| The community is indignant over the
| daStardly attempt of the Republicans
| to break up Democratic meeting
| The Republicans had sworn that nc
| Democratic speaking should take
| place in huntsville. DIR. Sanderlin is
| always fair speaker and never deS
cendS to personalities, and this fact
| greatly augments the indignation.

SENATOR HILL pointed out in his
great speech at Tammany Hall that
the Democratic party has not and
does not advocate force trade. The
revenue needed to carry on the gov
eminent makes necessary a tariff
high enough to cover the difference
in wages. The Democratic party, ac-
cording to the Chicago platform, de-
nounces Republican" protection
which as the Senator says "becomes
worse and more intolerable as the
years roll on"

A MOST DEFIANT VENTURE.

There has been only one eminent
convert from the Democratic to the
Republican party this year, as we re-
member-Geo. Ticknor Curtis, aged
50 years, and approaching senility.
On the other hand, three jurists and
statesmen, Judge Gresham, Judge
Cooley and Wayne MacVeagh, have
turned their backs on the Republican
party, and MacVeagh gives his reas-
ons in one of the ablest letters ever
put before the people. Able as that
letter is, it is almost equalled by a
communication in the Forum by the
most famous of all American law
yers,-David Dudley Field. ''In my
VIEW says he "Mr. Harrison repre-
sents paternal government, Mr..
Cleveland constitutional government;
Mr.. Harrison industrial monopoly,
Mr.. Cleveland industrial freedom %
The Mckinley bill he characterizes
as the s9most defiant venture of mo-
| nopoly that the country has ever
| Witnessed" Mr.. Field takes up the
tariff tax and says he is amazed
that Mr.. Mckinley does not know
that the consumer pays the tax
Suppose it were the producer sug
gests this able man chow about thu
American who ships our produce to
| the other side of the sea?" Did any
body ever hear it asserted that W.
| Americans who ship cotton and corr
to Europe are paying taxes to those
European nations who levy duties
The absurdity of Mckinley argu
ments becomes apparent when yor
try to illustrate the proposition.

REPUBLICAN partizan papers are
so angry at the prospect of Demo-

more abusive. Several of them are
referring constantly to the fact that
Grover Cleveland did not go into
battle. They refuse to say that two
of his brothers represented the fami-
ly in the war, and that Grover stay
ed behind in order to earn a living
for his mother.

THE tin plate Industry is worked
extensively by the Republicans, even
though the tin mines in California
have closed down. The Republicans
have just started tin factory in
New Jersey but upon examination it
appears that the black plates come
from Wales, the tin from Australia,
the oil from Africa and the workmen
from Wales. That is a great show
ing for american Industry"
