DeGRAFF STILL IN TOWN.
He Visited Smiths Drug Store at $50
Tuesday Morning.

Peter DeGraff is still enjoying his
freedom, and he walks around town
seemingly without fear or favor of any
mantle sheriff of Forsyth not ex-
cepted.
At the early hour of $3.50 Tuesday
morning DeGraff walked into the drug
store of Maj. S. III. Smith, on Liberty
street, and called for cigar. The
clerk. who was in the store at the
time filling prescription, replied
that it was rather an early hour. but
that he would wait on him, which he
did.
a prescription was being filled
for Frank Tatum, colored, janitor at
the Twin-City Club. Tatum says he
recognized DeGraff the moment he
entered the store and his presence
made him (Tatum) somewhat nervous.
DeGraff. after getting his cigar
walked out of the store. HE looked
inoffensive," said the clerk to a SEN
TINEL reporter today. ''What attract
ed my attention to the stranger was
the action of Tatum. The stranger
answered the description of DeGraff
precisely"
Tatum says that he knows him well
and that he is confident that it was
Peter DeGraff whom he saw in the
store.

The Twin-City Band After the Services
OF Prof -. j. HerndOn.
A number of Tho leading musicians
in Winston-Sal IN have organized a
first-class brass band, to be known as
the Twil-C.ty Cornet Band.
Negotiations are pending with Pro-
fessor r. ]. Herndon, graduate of
the New England Conservatory of
Music. of Boston, Mass, who is an en-
inent soloist and band leader, to as
sumo the dictatorship of the band.
The members of the new organization
will vouch for Prof. Herndon as a
sober, reliable gentleman, and as IA
musician and artist. The organiZa-
ton of a first-class band costs money
and it is to be hoped the generous cit
liens of The Twin-City will sustain
their good reputation for generosity
by aiding this cause. In political
campaign a good band is indispensa-
BILE. Contributions will be received
by MeSsrs. Hubert Hamlen, Ernest
Shepherd and Walter Grouse, and as
soon as the necessary funds are raised
the harmonious sounds will greet the
citizens in the quiet evenings from
the public squares in the two towns.

The Citizens in North Winston Ask

by the citizens living in that part of
the city.
DIR. Is. +. Gray. superintendent of
Health, and Col. J. W. Alspaugh, of
the Winston Board of Aldermen, APP

siOners Monday afternoon regarding

ing to the county was being rapidly
filled up. ut is jeopardiZing the
health of the citizens and cOntami-
mates the water in that neighbour
hood" continued Col. Alspaugh. 1t
is only a question Of time when it Will
become necessary to secure new
burial ground. This is Il serious mat
ter and a dctriment to the commu-
nifty" The Colonel asked the Board
to take some action.
DIR. Gray said that the graveyard
was a matter for serious conSidera-
tion. I'm passing there at night one
is met by an odor that isyery unpieas-
ant" said DR.. Gray. THE method Of
burial is very offensive and many COM
plants are being sent to me about
same" DR.. Gray added that he had
received information that graves were
being dug there from ten to twenty
inches in depth. He asked the Board
to take some action, saying that the
remedy lay in the hands of the COM
niSSiOnerS.
The Board issued an order that no
one be buried hereafter less than four
and a half feet. Mr.. Eaily was also
appointed to represent the commits
Sioners and meet with,a committee

THAT DAMAGE SUIT.
An Erroneous Statement Made in Re-
gard to it,

Mr.. NJ. f. Trotter, who brought
suit against the G. f. & Y. V. Rail
road Company, for $40, 900 for injuries
sustained in wreck last year, returns
to his home in Charlotte and tells the
Charlotte Observer that 1.-THE reason
he did not recover more damages was
on account of the ignorance of the
jury. He could not appeal, as the
case was decided in his favor. The
road took no appeal"
Mr.. Trotter makes several erroneous
statements. He was allowed $500
and this amount was said by those
who heard the trial as every cent Mr..
Trotter deserved.
The gentlemen who sat upon the
jury were all intelligent men, about
as much so as those who pass upon
the casses in Mecklcnburg county.
The railroad company has taken an
appeal, as was stated in THE SENTI-
MEL Saturday afternoon.
