lived in Edinburgh toward the close Of the

such darkness that he could not read the
letters sent to him. He found, however.
that when he placed them against the part
Of the wall lighted by the air hole the
words became very distinct The effect
was most striking, and it occurred TO him
that If a picture were placed in a similar
position it would have "A wonderful effect.
Accordingly, on his Liberation, he made
a series Of experiments which enabled him
to improve his invention, and on June 49,
1871, he obtained a patent in London which
establishes his claim 10 be the inventor Of
the panorama. London artists spoke with
great contempt Of Barker's exhibition, but
their opinions did not prevent the public
from rushing in crowds to see the pictures
exhibited in the rotunda in Leicester

the art, and it became chestnut" that

EXCURSION TO MOCKSVILLE.
What a Sentinel Reporter Saw and
Heard on the Trip.
ANNUAL PICNIC FOR THE ORPHANS.

Suitable Grounds Have Been secured
at a Cost of 5000 for the Benefit of
the ThomasviIIe Orphanage-Lawn
Party Given Last Night-Over Two
Thousand People in Attendance
The Orphanage picnic at MockS-
vile Thursday was success in every
particular.
The excursion train which went
out at $3.50 O'Clock from Winston with
the Broad Street Sunday School and
quite number of Winston and Sa-
LENS pleasure seekers, was well filed
when it pulled up near the picnic
grounds at MockSyille.
n When the eXcursionists reached the
picnic ground every one was agreeably
surprised to find that such extensive
preparations had been made by the
BaptistS of Dayie county for theif
reception.
The picnic grounds are situated on
Main street northeast of the town
| and consist of a twO-acre lawn enclOs-
ed by barbed wire fence. Near the
center there has been constructed d
mammoth arbor, the dimensions ot
which are 60Xl35 feet. with Il seating
| ing will be used by the Thomasvillc
Orphanage for the entertainment at
these annual picnics.
Just back of this building is a large
enclosure, containing large tables on
which the picnic dinner is served. and
| near by is refreshment stand where
| ice cream and cooling drinks are kept
on sale.
Just back from these grounds is a
| beautiful dell with two large springs
| Of cool water about four feet deep by
| two wide and hewn out of the solid
/ rock.
These grounds have been bought
and improved by the Davie Baptists
through the agency Of Rev. G. S.
Cashwell at a cost of 5000. They have
been decided to the trustees of the
| ThomaSville Orphanage.
The exercises under the arbor in the
forenoon consisted of an able address
| by Rev. L. III. Pritchard, ID. d.. OF
Wilmington. followed by concert by
| class of twenty-six orphans. In the
afternoon there was an address by
Rev. A. l.. Robertson, of the Southern
Baptist Seminary at Louisville, KY.
| and another concert by the orphans
| The music for both occasions was
furnished by the Pilgrim Cornet
Band. of Davie county.
The tables spread in the dining de
partment groaned under their load OF
good things. The baskets are sent in
by the people of the county. Tickets
for admission to dinner are sold at y
cents each. a good sum was realized
for the orphans. Up to six O'Clock,
the hour the eXcursionists started fOI
home, the cash receipts for the or
phanage amounted to about 5000,
At night q lawn party was given
anda refreshments sold, which will
largely increase this amount, all OF
which will be clear profit, as the Or
phanage was at no expense whatever
for preparations.
There were fully two thousand
people in attendance and every one
seemed to enjoy the day.
The eXcursionists from Winston re
turned shortly after seven O'Clock.

1t Would Work Confusion Politically
and Industrially in the South.

What would be the direct and inn
mediate effects of a Force bill carried
into execution in the Southern States?
Mr.. HOke Smith, President of the
Board of Education, of Atlanta, an
swers this question in brief and
sharp article in the August number of
The Forum. After showing that, in
his opinion at least, the law would be
unconstitutional. and after showing
that its expense would not be less than
so, 900, 900 for every election and would
bring into existence at least $50. 900
new Office holders, he proceeded to
show that no greater calamity would
befall the negro, for whose benefit is
is argued such bill is needed. The
development of the negro depends alb
ssolutely upon the kind feeling which
exists between the two races in the
South. The enactment of Force
bill would at once inspire the negroes
with an undue attention to politics,
and this, in turn, would inspire the
me ce emotional of the white popula-
tion with less kindly feelings toward
the blacks, and with these results
there would be in the South a re-en-
actment Of all the occurrences of the
reconstruction period.
This Mr.. Smith regards as a suffi;
cient argument in itself against even
agitation for another Force bill. but
he goes much further. He maintains
that the industrial condition of the
negro would be made materially
worse, that he would become a less in
dustrious laborer in the cotton fields.
because he then was much less indus
trious than he had been since: and
that in this way the agriculture of the
South would be seriously impaired,
and that the whole country would
feel the commercial depression in con
sequence of the social. political, and
industrial confusion that Force bill
would work in the southern states.
