EwART ON THE FORCE BILL.
n Man Who Would support the Fore,
Bill is an migrate to His Race.

Hon. II. c. Ewart was the Repub-
lican who preceded Mr.. Crawford in
Congress from the Ninth North Car
DINA District. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Ewart StrenuouSly opposed
the Lodge Force Bill. In speaking to
an Asheyille Citizen reporter of
Southern Force Bill supporters MIR
Ewart said:
These fellows are still blindly ignOr-
ant of the fact that such Republicans
as Blaine, Cameron. Wash burne. VOL
colt and hundreds of other prominent
Republican leaders are bitterly OPP
posed to this measure. They forget
that it was killed in Republican
Senate and denounced by Il Republican
Senator. Teller of Colorado, as Il most
damnable and iniquitous measure
framed by a Clique of selfish politi-
clans to stir up race troubles and sec
tionaI feeling
ANY man who champions force
bill, that places negro Deputy Mar
shals and supervisors Of elections
around the polls in the black belt of the
South. as the Lodge bill undoubtedly
did. is an enemy to the black man, an
migrate to his own race, and deserves
ignominiouS defeat
This last remark is a slap at letter
G. Pritchard, the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress in the Ninth Dis
trict.

Mrs. Herring was about thirty-twu
years Of age and has been in China

seven years.
Mr.. Herring returned to America
with his family last April to spend
the summer with relatives in this
State.
Mrs. Herring was one of the most
enthusiastic and successful lady mis-
SiOnarieS Of the Baptist church.
While in China She assumed the
Chinese dress and adapted herself to
the manners and customs of Chinese
women as much as possible. and in
this WAY she was enabled to do much
good among them.
She expected to return to her work
in China early in the fall. Ter nus
band and herself intended to pierce i'll
to the interior of the continent about
1000 miles further than any mission
AIRY has ever done in the past
About one week before Mrs Her
rings death she lost her Oldest
daughter and the youngest and only
living child is now very i'll and not eX-
pected to live. and at last reports

APICNIC AT MANA.
Yadkin County is Fully Aroused to the
Necessity of Education.

Special CORES pondence of The Sentinel
MANA. n. c., Aug. 8.-Farmers are
beginning to turn stubble for another
wheat crop. Threshing is about over
and the yield is not very good here.
Corn is suffering from the very hot
weather, but tobacco is doing well.
Mr.. ID. l.. Shore will start his fine
new grist and flour mill in a few days
The young folks will have a big pic
mic here on the 18th and a big time is
anticipated
All Yadkin county needs now is a
railroad. There is no county in North
Carolina more progressive and having
more tlourishing schools.
Prof. Day. one of Yadkin'S progress
Siye young men, begins his first term
at this place. He has a fine enroll
ment and an excellent Academy.
Hon. r. A. Doughton spoke at East
Bend on the 9th to a large audience of
sturdy farmers of this section. His
talk was a plain anu practical one
going down to the common sense, mat
ter-of-fact issues of the day and al}-
pealing not to the passions of his
hearers, but to their good Judgment.
He made fine impression and did
much good for the cause of Democrat
cy. | heard a strong Third party
man say, after the speaking that he
would vote for Cleveland if he lived:
that he had enough of Third parties.
Still.there are some here who cannot
be convinced.
1t was pleasure to see so many
leading Republicans out. They seem
to be willing to listen to sound reason
ing and they got it, ERIE.

THE WEEKLY MARKET.
A>F'acror Of Encouragement is the
Improved Crop Situation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The market
SLOWLY bat surely gains in strength
ami breadth The outward gold
movement has been the most serious
check l., enthusiasm on the ball side.
This feature. together with the grow
ing Ii u OF silver is of course Il sourse
OF uneaSinesS. Nevertheless. this
question has been uppermost for
long period: and its follies and dan
gers ,tie taking no one by surprise.
We are less alarmed than Eu-
iopeans. who at such distance nat
ur5iiiS take the most cautious. if not
the wutst view. AS for the foreign
demand for gold, that has been stimu-
l;tted DN the scarcity of commercial
bills: the 1.it-kwa fdneSS of cotton eX-
pGrtS accounting iii considerable de-
gree fnr this. Perhaps the most en-
couraging feature of the situation is
the assurance OF continued ease in
nlunef. The West and Northwest
ar: well supplied with currency and
aS Chicago is steadily growing as Il
-leSarve centre. and crop requirements;
NH dc less urgent than year ago.
there M ed be no uneaSineSS about
III ;I"y rates during the remaining
inimcr and autumn months.
SEINE remark is made concerning
the less favorable character of rail-
road elrningS: still it should be re-
membered that comparisons are now
b ing made with the extraordinary
hsIli eS Of last year. The fact remains
that many Of the lines are doing Il
very profitable traffic, and that thu
; financial and physical condition of
many lines is even better than Il
year ago. Increases and decreases in
/ gross earnings are not always the
true measures of market values
| The SPECTATOR, as well as the in
weston, must take into consideration
net results and prospective earning
capacity as well as other factors
This is especially true of such lines
as diverted Il large share of last
years earnings towards betterments
which Will enable them to operate
more economically in times when
there is less pressure of traffic
StIll another factor OF encourage
ment is the crop situation, which
has certainly shown much improve
ment over last month. No one nov,
| expects such prolific. yield as last
year; nor is such desirable in view
| OF present low prices and that Eu-
| ope requirements next season will
! be much less urgent. Experience has,
| proved that fair crops at fair price
are the most satisfactory growers.
rms Is what we are promised this
| season. Last season we suffered
| from an Overproduction of cereals;
ana cotton in spite of the short crops
of Europe. Our farmers and planter,
are are still Su ffering from
! tliS cause but the diminished yielG
of cotton, corn and wheat this forth
coming years ought to bring them
some relief.

ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK.

We refer again to the matter OF
establishing National park in the
in the Alleghanies whose deciduous
forests are the most interesting in
the world. 1t would be great thing
for North Carolina,-a great adver-
tisement, a source of fame and a
means ofprogress. Such park would
double many times the summer trav-
ell and tourist traffic of this State.
Let North Carolinians through her
representative men take hold of this
matter and move without unneces-
sary delay, and ours will be the fame
and glory. We quote again from
Garden and Forest:
'On the slope of the high noun
tains of the Carolina and Tennessee
the principal trees of the Appalachian
forests attain their or, Attest size and
perfection, and in ii ride OF a few
hours, covering rise in elevation of
1000 or 5000 feet, one may see
growing in their supreme perfection
the trees of the South, like the mag
nOlias; the trees of the middle States,
like the ashes, the oaks, the naples,
and the lindens; then the bircheS, the
pines, the mountain ashes, and the
spruces of the extreme North. In
these forests the chestnut grows TO
It's greatest size. The wild cherry
produces trunks six feet in diameter,
and the tulip trees send up stems still
hn WI
red oak, the black oak, the chestnut
oak, and the scarlet oak attain here
their greatest height and girth
of stem; and here the snOwdrop
tree, or halesa, the shrubby orna
ment of our Northern gardens
develops Il great trunk free of
branches for a hundred feet above
the ground; here are the greatest ash
trees on the continent, the nobliest
hickOries, and the tallest and stateli-
est hemlOcks In this wonderful re-
gion the kalmia grows to the dimen
sions of a good sized apple tree, the
tupelO is forest giant, and the rho
dQdendrons are tree like in size and
habit. The sweet birch of the Smokes
dwarfs the biggest birch trees of the
North, and the sugar naples of New
England are as pigmies in compari-
son with the maple trees of the South.
In early spring the floor of the forest
is lighted up by the fiery heads of
Azalea calendulacea, which decks for
miles the upper mountain slopes with
solid masses of bloom. while Azalea
arborescens dips its pure white fra
grant flowers into every mountain
brook"

yestigate the matter of forest res
ervation in the southern Alleghanies,
and, if such a reservation is found
practicable, to devise means for Sc
curing and maintaining it. If such
a reservation can be made, and a few
square miles of the Redwood forests
of the California coast can be reserv-
ed, examples of the three most inter
esting forests in the world, the south
ern Allegheny deciduous forest. the
coniferous forest of tie western slope
of the Sierra Nevada, with its Sequo-
las and Sugar Pines, and the Red
wOod-torest of the Pacifi'. coast, will
be saved to interest and instruct
future genera tions of men who will
8 e in them the great marveIs of veg
table growth which, without the in
tervention of the nation, are doomed
to speedy destruction.

STEvENsON'S SPEECH.

We regret very much that there is
not room in our columns today for
a long extract from the speech OF
Gen. Stevenson at the new Waiter
son clubhouse in Louisville, The
occasion was a great one for Ken
lucky Democrats and the city was in
holiday attire. Gov: John Young
Brown presided a5 the mass meeting
and Gen. Stevenson was greeted
with tumultuous applause. In the
course of his speech Mr.. Stevenson
said that, in common with the Demo-
Gratis of the North, he believed that
after the victory at hppomattox,
the perfect restoration of the Union
was to be wrought out. not in the
spirit of hate, but in the Hottest
spirit of patriotism.
ssWith some of the States of this
Union the period of reconstruction
was but another name for misrule,
for political ostracism of the white
race, for robbery of a people already
impoverished by war, for outrage
upon the rights of property and OF
people, SO monstrous as now almost
to challenge belief. In word, all
that was loathsome and all that was
offensive in that which by misnomer
was called government in many of
the Southern States can be summed
up in the one word reconstruction
1t would serve no wise purpose to
revive the memory of thiser but for
the reason that we areno confront
ed by the startling fact that the par
ty in power stands pledged to the re-
enactment of theforce bill. History
would but repeat itself. The evils
that would follow thelegislationnow
threatened would find their counter
part in those which make up SO
a parU OF the reconstruc-
ton period +"

COL. CowLEs GOES HOME.
The StauRch Old Democrat Has
Fought his last Congressional Fight.

Col w II. II. Cowles. the outgoing
Congressman of the Eighth North

in Wilkesboro after the adjournment
of Congress.
Col. COwles said to SENTINEL re-
porter that he was happy to say he
was going home now for good: that
somebody would occupy his seat
at the next session. The train moved
OFF too quick for a long conversation.
The Colonel, however, had time to say
to the reporter that all the North Car
DINA congressman, except Cheatham,
colored. voted in opposition to the
Worlds Fair appropriation bill.

Grave apprehenSions are felt am3ng

that to the sanitary condition of til,

DISMAL SWAMP CANAL.

From the Manufacturers Record
The historic Dismal Swamp Canal.
costing nearly $1,000, 900 to build,
has been sold at public auction for
SO, 100 the purchasers being Messrs
Ross & Sanford, of Baltimore This
canal connects Elizabeth river, Va,
with Pasquotank river. n. c., and is
twenty-three miles in length. In 1877
Virginia legislature passed an act in
favor of the canal. and in 1890 the sub
ScriptlOn books TO a company for the
purpose were opened. In 1871 the
State purchased fifty shares of the
stock in 1899 it subscribed to twenty
additional shares, and in 1917 it
authorized subscription to S64, 900
additional stock. In 1919 the State
loaned the company $37 900. The
United States government was also
Interested in the work. having in 1926
authorized the treasurer to subscribe
for 600 shares Of stock. and in 1929 to
$50 additional shares. When the
company failed some few years later
the government lost its interests, but
Virginia managed to retain hers.
This canal is of great Importance
to Norfolk, both in affording trans
pOrtation and for the citys drinking
water supply. That it should have
been sold at such low figure is a
matter of surprise. particularly DIS the
control of it was not secured by Nor
folk citizens or the city itself.
