Mrs. Edwin Dodd, an Indiana woman.
has just returned from Chill, where she
was teacher in an English college at San
tiago, at the time of the disturbances.
She saw many strange and peculiar situa-

ty in an extremely demorallzed state. The
city contains about 200, 900 inhabitants and
is one OF the wickedest places on the globe.
Statistics show that it has more gambling
dens than any city in the world. Balmace-
da was a man of progressive ideas and in
stituted many reforms, which caused the
opposition to naugurate the rebellion
which resulted in his overthrow. After
the trouble no one was allowed on the
streets after nightfall without a pass"

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE,
Toney Thomas, a Young Man, Takes
Two Doses of Laudanum.

Another young man in Winston has
grown tired of life and as conse-
quence he tried to shake off this NOR
tai coil Saturday night and again Sun
day evening.
TOney Thomas is the name of the
young fellow. The only excuse given
gave him the grand bounce.
Saturday night he drank three bot
ties of laudanum and then went to his
boarding house in East Winston and
informed the family what he had
done. He then retired. A physician
was Immediately sent for who admin
istered an antidote and in a few min
utes he was relieved of the drug. At
ter giving him genteel threshing
with a wet towel and walking him for
several hours around the yard he was
brought to his senses again.
About five o'clock Sunday after
noon the young man secured another
bottle from Smiths drug store, not
withstandingt the fact that two friends
were watching him. After drinking
the medicine he again retired to the
house and told the family what he
had done. DR.. Thomas was sent for
and upon arrival he proceeded to give
Thomas a thorough drenching, after
which the wet towel was brought into
requiSition and used freely. He was
also walked around on double quick
time for several hours.

TEAGUE At TIE CIRCUS.
Blow HG TRIED to Arrest a Desperate
in the Show.
BUT WAS JEERED And NOT CHEERED.

He Thought He Saw Golden Oppor.
tunity to Get Right Before the
People, But He Slipped Up-The
Ring master Said go and Sit
Down"-The Desperate Snowman.
Sheriff league went to the circus
Saturday and now he wishes he hadn't.
Everything was progressing finely
under the big tent until rowdy, half
DRINK, mean looking fellow from the
country rushed into the ring and be-
gan to disturb the exercises He was
distinctly desperate of the DeGraff
type. He picked up a rock and made
for the ring master as if he would
smash his head.
Sheriff league was busily thinking
all this time. Here was the golden
opportunity of his life. 1--WE been in
hard luck about that DeGraff matter
and that crazy loon that got away
from me" he thought to himself.
"Here is chance to show the people
I'm not afraid. There's a big crowd
here from all over the county. They
shall witness with their own eyes the
arrest of a desperate as desperate as
DeGraff. This will set me right and
nothing can now prevent my being
sheriff again"
Having delivered himself of these
thoughts, the tall form of the sheriff
was seen striding toward the ring
master as he once STROBE into the
SENTINEL Office to summon the force
to serve ON a DeGraff posse. There
was dignity in that stride and the
vast audience held it's breath. The
trapeZe performers stopped their
whirling. The lady who was riding
half dozen horses said ''wo" and sat
down. The contorsionist twisted up
into a ball and rolled out of the sher-
ifs way. The desperate held his
brick bat in mid air, as the sheriff
approached.
The silence grew more intense. The
entire assemblage could hear the au-
thoritative tones of the sheriff as he
said reassuringly to the ring-master
Il will arrest that man."
And the ring-master replied $50
along and sit down. That's one of
our show men,"
When it suddenly burst upon the
sheriff's mental vision that he had
Numbered, that his hoped for oppor-
tunity had not materialiZed, he became
as white as sheet, and marched back
to his seat while the crowd laughed
and some one shout 'Such sheriff,
such a sheriff" '"That wasn't De
Graft" etc. etc.

WINSTON'S TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review of the
Past Week.

The week has been a quiet one
about the warehouses. The weather
has been dry and cool and tobacco is
in poor handling order. In addition
to this the farmers are busy cutting
and curing the new crop and will be
for the next few weeks.
Sales consisted Of scattering lots of
old Stock-SOme very good filters
among the offerings primingS of
the new curing, with very little body
and poor color. But little leaf has
yet been sold and that of monde
script character. In quality and
quantity there is nothing of impor-
tance to note.
Prices keep up high on everything
of desirable kind. The new prim-
ings sell well considering the poor
quality, while old filters are taken at
stiff prices. Wrappers are active
whenever any are sold.
The trade is waiting anXiously the
outcome of the new crop. The cold
weather since the 1st inst. is helping
the crop considerable. Reports say
er supply will be good, while it is
thought wrappers will be fully as
scarce as laSt-year. AS usual, however,
the farmers report the curing as very
unsatisfactory.
Trade in the South is opening slow
ly. Cotton has started off at a low
price and is depressing business some.
Still orders for plug have been good
and sales so far this year have been
larger than last.
The revenue stamp collections last
week show the shipments of manu-
featured tobacco to have been 2,O30.67
pounds. The collection, for each day

MIR. JONES AT GOLD HILL.
The Salisbury Herald Says That he
Made a Good Speech.

The editor of the Salisbury Herald
heard the speech of E. B. Jones. one
of the Democratic candidates for SEN
ator from this district, at Gold Hill
Saturday. This is what he has to say
of it:
"Mr. Jones spoke for an hour.and a
half and made an eloquent and excel
lent speech. He contrasted the plat
forms and administrations of the
Democratic and Republican parties,
State and National, and showed plain
ly and forcibly that only in Democrat
ic success could the people hope for
any relief. The dangerous schemes of
the Third party were also shown up,
together with the infamous record of
Weaver and the treachery of Marion
Butler. Mr.. Jones made a favorable
impression upon the people, strength
ening the faith of the Democracy of
Gold Hill.

PEA AND BEAN wEEvILs.
If You Want to Get Rid of Them Us
Bisulphide of Carbon.

Many hundred bushels of garden
peas and beans, cow peas and sofa
beans are annually destroyed by Wee
wills in the Southern States. These
weeyils are two species of the genus
Bruchus B. Psi. The pea weeyil is
the smaller and is blackish with white
spots. 1t attacks only the garden
pea, never the COW pea, which is a
true bean, or the garden bean, etc.
The bean weevil B. Obsoletus or fabae
is rather small, yellowish, hairy in
sect. This weevil never attacks the
pea, but is the great pest of beans and
COW peas. Both species lay their eggs
upon the growing pods in the field and
garden. The eggs hatch in a few
days and the young grub bOres it's way
into the seeds. The grub lives within
the seed until it has completed it's
growth and becomes a perfect or
winged insect. The pea weevil never
lays her eggs upon hard or mature
seeds and therefore if the peas infest-
ed in the garden are kept in tight
vessel or bag for full year, the whole
of the insects will perish without do
ing further injury to the peas. The
bean weeyil in warm climate like
JUS 6iO"o IIoLu UIiC CSS w UuC w IHSCu
state in about two months and the
female at once lays her eggs upon the
hard and mature beans or COW peas
and these in turn mature and produce
other insects and the process may con-
tlnue, as many of us know to our cost,
until the whole package of beans or
cow peas is consumed. The cheapest
and most effective remedy for both
weevilS is bisulphide of Carbon. Gar
den peas and beans kept for seed and
COW peas should always be treated
with this substance before being
stored away, and as soon as possible
after being harvested. Place the
seeds in tight barrel and pour upon
them tablespoonful of the bisul-
phide. Cover the barrel tightly with
a blanket or heavy cloth of any kind
except rubber or oil cloth. The BIZ
sulphide will quickly volatilize and
penetrate the entire mass of seeds,
killing every grub and beetle. Allow
the covered barrel to stand for four
hours, then remove the cover and per-
NIT the fumes to escape. Never
bring light into or near the room
while the fumes can be smelled, as
bisulphide of Carbon is very infiam-
mable. The bisulphide may not kill
the eggs and to insure complete de-
structicn repeat the bisulphide treat
ment after sixty days.
Bisulphide of Carbon may be order
ed in quart or pint cans from any
dealer in chemicals, ETC., for about
twenty cents per pound. Most drug
gists can supply it in smaller quanti-
ties but at a much higher price.
