IHE natuIdl gas companies, Cne electrlc
light companies and the artificial gas con-
Germs have all taken mp the deposit plan,
which means that before you can get con-
nections made with your house you must
deposit somewhere from $40 to SIS with the
companies as a guarantee that your bills
will be paid. This is O beautiful and artistic
way of obtaining forced loan. It is true
that in some cases, perhaps in all, the COM
panies allow you interest on your money
but that does not affect the question. Sup
pose the company fails with thousands of
dollars OF its customers on deposit, what
redress have you worth mentioning? 1t Is

take the deposit question into court for an
Interpretation Of the matter Of pay ing in ad-
vance for what you have not got and which

THE electric light companies not long

sum per lamp which in an average house
would be some So a month. If this charge is
not agreeable you can take out the lights.

I NOTICE that an application is to be
made to have the French courts fine Mrs.
Deacon $50 day while she keeps her
daughter out Of her husbands custody. One
morning while at breakfast in the Hotel
Brighton, one of the prettiest and best small
hotels in the city, a tall, slender, grave man
seated himself at the next table. His hair
was dark and streaked with gray, his, eyes
wore fixed, troubled look, but his manner
was cool and careless, and when he spoke to
the waiter it was in q pleasant but impera-
tive tone. He was engaged in reading that
curious hybrid, the Paris New York Herald
when the proprietor of the house, NJ. Bas.
tionelli, a clever Italian, who has visited
Pittsburg number of times. approached.
The guest in a voice perfectly audible to all
about him began making arrangements for
rooms for three daughters whom
he expected to join him next
day and who he said would be very little
trouble, as they would see little company
and not go out much. "That is Monsieur
Deacon" said my waiter. "the man who |

Floods in the Mississippi valley.

The annual flood in the MissIssip-
pi Valley though a little later this
year seems likely to make up in the
increased power of it's devastating
sweep for its latenes5. Advices and
newspaper reports agree that the
weather for the last two or three
weeks has been hardly less rainy
than during the forty days of Noah's
experience, and while the water has
not prevailed above the highest
mountains, it appears to have got
above all the river banks and to
have necessitated the use of arks
and other boats for any sort of safe
travelling. Still, as this thing hap
pens in a greater or less degree ev-
cry year in the Mississippi Valley,
probably no one is surprised or in
spired with a desire to leave that
country. The floods will subside by
and by and be forgotten, and the
now submerged river bottoms laugh
with an abundant harvest.

against any Third party action.
Laughinghouse, who is straightoui
Democrat, led this attack on But

in his attack by delegates from New

ever, making tobacco hills, and
whilst the crop will be owing to the

Rev William Brunt, near White Oak, j,
seventeen miles from here, yesterday,
and, finding no one there but his

promiscuously and ordered her to
prepare him dinuer at once, which
she did.
After devouring the victuals he in

in gathering up all the cooked
meats on the premises. and leaped

to some woods near by but no soon

thirteen buckshot in Gilmore's back,
from the effects of which he died in a
short time
The alarm was quickly given and
the people poured IN from all parts
of the neighborhood to witness the

Since the shooting it has been learn

Carolina for murder and for whom
there is a reward of $500, which

The Fifzgerald-Gra NupftaIs.
From the Danville Register.l

From the Danville Regster.l
The handsome residence of Mr..
t. B. Fitzgerald was the scene of a
brilliant gathering on Thursday eve
ming last, the occasion being the
marriage of his accomplished eldest
daughter, Miss Iheodosia, to Mr.. f.
S. Gray of Winston, N. G. The
rooms were tasteiully decorated with
rare flowers and hothouse plants.
The recess formed by the closed
outer front door was bower of ILL
u and palms. Before this was an
altar draped in white, on either end
of hich was burning some half doz-
en- or more brilliant pink candles.
The guests, numbering a hundred or
more, occupied the double parlors on
each side of and facing the altar.
At 9:45, as the enchanting strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march
foated through the rooms, Master
Benton Fitzgerald approached the
altar bearing upon a silver waiter
the marriage license, which he hands
ed to Revs. j. c.. Martin and DIR. p.
A. Peterson, who were to divide the
honors of conducting the ceremony.
Next came Misses Katie Fitzger-
all and Maud Flippin, each bearing
in their arms white satin pillow,
which they placed before the altar
and took their p osition on either side.
Following them came Miss Lizzie
Fitzgerald leaning upon the arm of
Mr.. G. ID. Ogburn, she taking her
position upon the right, he upon the
left of the altar. Then the groom,
accompanied by Mr.. Henry Rcan,

FOR A CHEESE FACTORY.
An Opportunity to Secure a Valuable
Industry.

C. M. Gaylord, representing the
firm of Davis Rankin, of Chicago
Building and Manufacturing Com
pany, was in the city for the purpose
of seeing if it is possible to organ
ize a company and establish a butter
and cheese factory. He tells THE
SENTINEL that it will require about
five thousand dollars to establish
and put the plant in operation.
He also gives some facts and fig
ures in reference to the value of the
plant. He says the capacity oe the
plant is about 1,500 gallons cf milk
per day and that out of the COG
pounds of butter can be made 675
pounds of cheese. The refuse milk
will support and fatten 300 hogs.
The cost for operating the plant will
be about $3.50 per day; the value or
cost Of the milk will be about $3.50
dollars per day, so the sum total for
running the plant at full capacity
will be about 1857 per day.
Now as to profit, the butter which
by the way would be the best and
worth $151.5 80. Cheese at cents
per pound would be $4050. while
the average increase in the value of
the hogs kept would be about ST so
per day. Then we have as a daily
gross expense $157 and a daily in
come of $199.50, making net profit
of $419O.
Of course this estimate is based
upon the supposition that the plant
shall be run at its full capacity while
it can be run at a fair profit for
about one fifth of the estimate made.
Should the plant be run to its full
amount of milk consumed, say 500
gallons per day, it would cause to be
paid to the suburban farmers not less
than $4,000 annually for milk.
This of course would be great
prime feature in the matter as it
would necessarily encourage the far
ners to keep more cows, pay better
attention to them and add many
materials to the farms by enhancing
their value in material Improvement.
The ablishment of such plant
here would be a great help both to
the county and city people.
