THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Central District Needs a General
Rain Badly

RALEIGH, Aug. "a good general
rain is badly needed in the central
district, less rain having fallen than
in other districts. The dry weather
has damaged corn, tobacco and gar
dens considerably. Warm weather
has been favorable to cotton which is
fruiting very well. Some stations re-
port the weather during the week en-
tirely favorable. Heavy rain occur
red at Raleigh on Sunday the eth.
2.3O inches falling in about three
hours. The grape crop is excellent.
and heavy shipments are being made
to Northern markets.
Rains are reported at Chapel Hill,
OH inch: Oak Ridge, O.20; Smithtield.
O.3O; Auburn, 0.26; Raleigh, 2.37.
Reports from Germanton say this is
the longest spell of hot weather eXpe-
rlenced here for some years. Tobacco
is good and corn fair. Salem reports
that the past week has been all that
could be asked for. Good rains first
part of the week followed by lower
temperature and plenty of sunshine.

The Judge Was Twice Married.
Justice Joseph J. Davis, of the SUI
preme Court of North Carolina, died
at his home in Louisburg Sunday
night at 10 o'clock.

and again in 1876 and 1878. He took
strong ground on questions connected
with the industrial interests of the
people. He advocated measures look

five children, and his second wife be-
ing Louisa, daughter of Benjamin
Kittrell, of Granville, to whom he
was married in 1883, and who survives

THE POLICE.

The Winston Force not Responsible
for DeGraff's Escape.
The attempt of the Union Republic
can to throw the blame from the
sheriff's shoulders on the Winston pc
lice has led to this statement:
''The Police Department of Winston
is not responsible for the non-arrest of
Degraff. In fact, we have never been
called upon by the sheriff. though we
are always ready to do our duty here.
The sheriff has not even sent out no
tices to arrest DeGraff.''
A gentleman who called at THE
SENTINEL Office today said that Re-
publicanS and Democrats, white and
colOred, are against Sheriff league be-
cause of his neglect of duty.

REPUBLICANS AFTER LEAGUE.
There is Still Much Feeling in the
Country About Him.

A gentleman in a neighboring town
writes THE SENTINEL as follows;
III heard a strong Republican say a
few days ago that league was not
trying to catch DeGraff: that he be-
lieyed he had been bought off. The
Republicans here denounce his action
as much as the Democrats. The mat
ter should be pressed to head, and
the good people of your city should
not rest until league gave them evil
dence of his efforts to run down the
murderer. The report is up here that
league was bought off as he did not
catch DeIraff

With Il New Game.


The Winston boys have new and
unique game.
A lady in Winston, while sitting by
a front window in her house, noticed
a number of little boys in the street
who seemed very much excited. They
had been pursuing one of their play
fellows, who, being hard pressed, took
refuge by climbing a tree in front of
the lady's house.
The little fellows gathered around
the trunk of the tree and cast threat
ening looks at the young one up in the
branches.
Finally an urchin who appeared to
be the leader of the crowd shook his
fist up the tree, and cried in thunder
ing tones:
''Come down, league, come down. -
And the shrill voice of the freed
sheriff replied:
''All right, Pete, but don't shoot -
