A CONVERT TO DEMOCRACY.
A Republican EIector for 1888 Cannot
Stand the Mckinley Tariff.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The tariff
issue has made an important convert
from the ranks of the Republicans in
Brooklyn. He is Chester ID. Burrows,
Jr., Republican elector in 1888, pres
tdent of the Republican League of
the fifteenth ward, member of the
New York Produce Exchange, one of
the pillars of the Thompkins Avenue
Congregational Church. of which the
Rev. DIR. r. II. Meredith is pastor He
has been interviewed in his change of
politics, and frankly says: you
might say | was born a Republican.
/ don't think there was a Democrat
in my family. | have always voted
the Republican ticket. l have been
studying the tariff question for sew
tral years. | have watched the opera
tion of the Mckinley bill carefully
The effect of the high protective tariff
is the cause of my resolution to be-
come Democrat. The tendency of
the bill is to create monopOlieS to the
detriment of smaller business inter
ests. / don't believe in free trade. /
think the government should have Il
tariff for revenue, but not the high
protective tariff indorSed by the Re-
publican party. | do not believe in
opening the tloOdgateS to allow for
eign countries to send their goods free
to- America, and | am sure that is not
the meaning of the Democratic tariff
plank.

and reflection | have resolved, solely
on account of the tariff, to join the
Democracy permanently. / am not

Core pondence of The Sentinel

FARMINGTON, N. c., Aug. 27.-Rev.
A X. Murchison has been elected
principal of the new academy at Ad-
vance, and will begin teaching soon.
Mr.. MurchisOn is an excellent man
and good teacher.
Chas. f. ,Bahnson, of Pennington,
Assistant Grand Lecturer, has just
had published a North Carolina Lodge
manual, authorized by the Grand
Lodge, A. f. and A. M. 1t is neat
and handy volume, well gotten up,
and deserves a wide circulation.
The traditional saw about rain on
the first dog day has been exploded
this year. Sirius and AQuariuS did
shake hands the first day sure enough,
but they have cut each Others ac-
quaintance so severely since, that the
corn crop in Davie will probably not
be more than half an average crop,
while tobacco cannot be more than
twO-thirds. Fodder will be short, too
There is very little fruit in the
county, and not single brandy still
is running. Generally they are plen-
tiful up and down the hollows. A few
tried the experiment of diStilling
blackberrieS, and met with moderate
success, SO far as we can learn.
The political heeler will have to en-
thuse on regulation straight corn
licker," or import Xxx moonshine.
The political pot is on, but as yet,
only an occasional dumping is thrown
in. Things are mixed, and no one can
just now tell how much detection
there will be from the old parties to
the new one. The Third partyites
talk big to.keep from feeling lonesome,
the Republicans go on still hunt for
their disgrunted, while the Demo
Gratis look to the star eyed goddess of
reform and hope for better things.
The Republicans talk of running
Frank Williams or Henry HobsOn for
sheriff; the Democrats will probObly
run Enos Smith for the House, and
Hon. II. B. Bailey for the Senate to
represent Davie and Yadkin, thoAs in
some of Toms friends think there is

ANOTHER LINK FORGED.
N the Chain of Evidence which is
to Avenge Sol Swaim's Murder.

The negro, Marion Headen, confined
in the Greensboro Jail in charge of
completely in the murder of old Solo
thael Swain has been playing with
Sheriff Cook of GuilfOrd, by telling
him lies as to the whereabouts of the
murdered mans money. Thursday
Headen sent for the Sheriff and told
him that the money was hidden in
aledge of rocks at a certain point in the
country. The Sheriff rode out and
made search, bilt soon saw that the
negro had lied to him.
Returning in the afternoon the
sheriff upbi,tided Headen for fOOling
him so, and the negro then swore he
would now tell the truth. He said
the money wrapped in piece of pa
per was in split-basket, full of rags,
which would be found in shed on
the east side of his house.
The sheriff again made the trip to
the country and this time was sue
cessful, for he found not $110, as
Headen said he would, but $500.

The Outlook in Georgia.

Congressman Moses, who has been
renominated in the Fourth district of
Georgia, is confident of an overwhelm-
ing Democratic victory in that State
in November. He predicts a Demo
cratic majority of at least $4,000. Mr..
Moses attended a rally in Cherokee
county, a former Third party strong
hold, last week, which was attended
by five thousand people. After the
speaking test vote was taken, and
when those who were prepared to sup
port Weaver were called on to rise
only half dozen men got on their
feet. When the question was put,
WHO is in favor of Cleveland 2" every
man, woman and child rose, and the
way Cleyeland's name was cheered
left no doubt of the loyalty of Chero-
kee county. ''The fact" said Mr..
Moses to an interviewer, sis apparent
to me that this Third party agitation
will bring out thousands of voters
who have not cast ballot for years
because they thought it unnecessary
and every Third party vote will be
discounted by two additional Demo
cratic votes" "

NINETEEN POOR FELLOWS SAVED
They Were in a Terrible State of Ex

Taken Out-Piteous Scenes at the
Mouth of the Shaft Hundreds
of Spectators at the Mine Today.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-All through the
past ni4@nt ep' rers in the iaaffSiln
coal mine at Aoerkenfig labored Tor
the rescue of the imprisoned miners
and several times the work was aban-
doned on account of the prevalence of
suffocating gasses.
At ten O'Clock this morning nine
teen men were rescued and brought
to the surface weak and completely
exhausted.
Later on a dozen dead bodies were
brought out. The work is still in
progress.
Hundreds Of persons surround the
pits mouth, most of them waiting to
identify bodies of friends and rela-
tiveS.
The entombment of the miners was
caused by a fearful explosion. One
hundred and forty-one miners were
entrapped by it. because the galleries
by which they could have made their
escape were shattered.
When the explosion took place d
volume of coal dust arose from the
mouth of the pit and this along with
the rumbling noise gave notice to the
inhabitants that something serious
had occurred. Women and children
rushed to the mouth of the pit, cry
ing and wailing for the fathers, hus
bands and brothers below. The
scenes at the pits mouth were most
| distressing and efforts were at once
| made to reach the entombed miners
which have so far resulted as above
reported. The miners have called OF
men from neighboring collierieS to as

Many hundreds of spectators have
assembled from all directions, anC

M'KNIGHT WILL HANG,
Judge NcIver Fixes October 21st as
His Doomsday.

Mt. AIRY, N. c., Aug. 27.-Leoni-
das Mcknight was sentenced to be
hanged by Judge McIyer yesterday.
The day was fixed as October 21st.
Every effort was made by Nc
Knights lawyers to save him. A
motion of new trial was made and
denied. Next an appeal to the Su-
preme Court was prayed for, but over
ruled also.
So Mcknight will hang unless the
Governor interferes.
Allison, who shot and killed Brown
on the streets of Mt. Airy last Satur-
day, asked the court for a continuance
of his trial, which was granted by
Judge McIver. 1t is believed now
that the case will be moved to another
county for trial, but if an attempt is
made to take him away from Surry
Jail it is thought there will be trouble.
The citizens here know that it was a
clear case of murder, and are very
much excited over the matter. Alli-
son has been cleared of two or three
| murders.

Senator Andrew johnson.
From the Washington Post

In response to several inquiries as
to whether or not Andrew Johnson
was member of the United States
Senate after his term as President
The Post gives the following informa-
tion: After the close of his term as
President Mr.. Johnson returned to
Tennessee. He was a candidate for
the United States Senate but was de-
feated. In 1772 he was a candidate
for Congress from the State at large,
but was again defeated. He regained
his hold upon the people, however,
and in January, 1875, was elected to
the United States Senate, taking his
seat at the extra session of 1875. He
returned home at the end of the ses-
sion and visited his daughter, who
lived near Carter Station, East Fen
neSSee. There he was stricken with
paralysis July 29th and died the next
day. He was buried at Greenyille,

MIR. MILLS REPLIES
To an Article of DIR. McMannaway in
the Baptist.

Superintendent J. III. Mills, of the
Baptist Orphanage at Thomasville, is
going for DR.. A. G.. McMannaway, of
Charlotte, on account of an article of
the latter in the North Carolina Bap-
tist, published in Fayetteville. Mr..
Mills seems much hurt and says:
''We have made an honest effort to
run the Orphanage wisely and for the
welfare of the children. 1t is the best
arranged Baptist Orphanage in the
world, and is adapted to every inn
provement. 1t has been managed for
the benefit of the orphans. In doing
this we have failed to please some of
the officers and some trustees. n
This is the only end the general man
ager has had in view. Yet some Of
the trustees, not only failed to help
him, but accused him of eating opium
and set ii spy to watch his mail, his
trades and his general department
and to report if he drank liquor, or
was guilty of any yillainy.'

GEORGIA TOBACCO.
Will Georgia Become One of the Great
Tobacco States

The Atlanta journal claims that
just as fine grade of tobacco can be
raised in Georgia as in the pioneer
States of North Carolina and Virginia.
The experiment of cultivating tobac-
co is now being made in Georgia. In
answer to those professional experts
who claim that Georgia tobacco is an
impoSSibility because of the lack in
that State of the later dews which
are deemed necessary to the develop
ment OF perfect leaf, a writer in the
journal says:
"a stroll through the wire grass on
an early June morning is all that is
required to refute these popycock no
tionS, and again, if the later dews are
so essential, why advocate early plant
ing as the best and Surest plan to sue
ceed in the culture of tobacco EX-
perience has fully demonstrated the
fact to the old tobacco rgrower that
early planting and early harvesting
yield greater returns than late plant
ing and late harvesting with the dews
thrown in. We know that our tobac-
co contemporaries are 10th to admit
Georgia as tobacco State for the fact
that If Georgia grows and manufac-
lures the required amount of her own
use alone, the industry will circu-
late and retain within her own bor-
derS millions of dollars annually Civ
| ing employment to thousands of Ia
| borers and making cities of her now
| moss covered villages, instead of its
going out as heretofore to build towns
and cities in the old tobacco growing
States and making millionaires OF
| those who have taken advantage OF
no better opportunity than that offer
| ed to the Georgian TODAY.
| 1.-The fact is that if Georgia grows
and manufactures tobacco, ''whicl
| she is destined to do she will OF
necessity compel manufacturers Of
| other States who have long held the
sway in Georgia markets to seek new
territory for the sale of their goods
Then why should we wonder at theil

A Pen Sketch of Jarvis
From the High Point Enterprise.]

From the High Point Enterprise.]
When-he rises to his feet it seems
as though it takes him a minute to
get up, being so tall and manly look
ing. He is deliberate and reserved
on the start and his words are so
smooth that the most nervous Third
partyite may keep his seat with safety.
He creeps up ON an audience like a
boy would on a blue bird and then
lets fly. To say that Gov. Jarvis
made an able speech would not ex-
press it. Not since the gifted Ran
som held his audience for four hours
at Fayetteville in 1882 have we heard
the equal of Jarvis speech.

From the san FranclscO ChrOnIcIe.I
The political cartoon artists are now
cudgeling their brains for new ideas.
They have completely worked out the
prize ring, the circus, the Roman am
phitheater, and the race track, but
the reading public will probably have
to endure variations on these same
themes from now till November. To
be forced to produce two or three car
toons every week is big strain on any
ones ingenuity, even when helped by
many suggestions.

Bears are very numerous in Carteret

of their being thinned out. Mr.. E. S
Garner, of Broad Creek, and his son
together, have two of the smartest
pups on record. At the age of four
and a half months they ran deer and
caught him. At seven months, bear
was shot ahead of them, when they
seized the bear by the ears and was
thus carried two hundred yards. Re
Gently at eight months old, they start
ed bear on the White Oak road and
ran him to Lake Ellis, in Craven coun-
ty; the race and return consuming two
days and nights. Such dogs are worth
having.

MCKNIGHT FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury Find Him Guilty Of Bur

THE PENALTY FOR this is DEATH.
The Verdict Brought in Wednesday
Mcknight Entered the House of
Old Mrs. Taylor in Mt. Airy and
All but Murdered Her.-The Bur-

SIdfy Law III NOfCa CarOI1nd.
Mt. AIRY, N. G., Aug. 25.-Leoni-
das Mcknight was convicted of bur
glary in the fist degree late last night
by the jury at Surry county court,
held at Dobson, by Judge McIver.
Mcknight was tried for burglarizing
the house of w. S. Taylor, in Mt.
Airy, year ago last January, and al
most beating to death Mrs. Taylor, an
old lady, whom he robbed of about
$1,000.
Burglary in the first degree is pun
ishable with death in North Carolina.
Two men have been tried at different
times for this offence before in the
State, both negroes in Charlotte. The
sentences of both were committed by
Governors Fowle and Holt respective
ly, to life Imprisonment, it appearing
they did intend to take the life of the
sleeping inmates. 1t remains to be
seen if Mcknight will escape death in
the same way.
