WALNUT COVE TOBOCCO.
1t Brings Good Prices in That Towns
Warehouses.

Correspondence of The sentinel1
WALNUT COVE, N. c., Oct. 49,
Court for Stokes county is in session.
Several very important cases are on
docket.
Hon. A. FL. A. Williams and Thos.
Settle had joint discussion at the
court house in Danbury yesterday.
Williams made a very fine address
and won several Third party people
back to the fold of Democracy.
Rev. S. f. Conrad preached a fine
sermon in the Baptist church to a
large congregation, on the bar rooms.
1t was forceful and timely. The SER
vice was the conclusion of the revival
held by Mr.. Conrad, assisted by Rev.
Mr.. Carich, of Lexington, N. c., who
did most of the preaching, and our
people will not soon forget the good
sermons and faithful labors of this
man of God. There were about TWEEN
five conversions.
Our tobacco warehouses are selling
some very fine tobacco and we have
heard Winston men advise the buy
ers to pay less for the weed on the
market.
One man had an eleven dollar bid
for some tobacco but he called it in,
took it away and afterwards sold it
on another market for SIS, after losing
two days work.
The corn crop in our section, what
is known as Town Fork bottoms, is
not good, but in other sections of the
county the crop has never been better
for years.
Mr.. D. Lewis, of Greensboro, was
here last week to place his daughter

THE TWO CoLoRED FACTIONS
Meet at Red Bank and discuss Politi
cal Issues


cal Issues.
The two colored Republican fac
tions in Forsyth held another big
pow-wow at Red Bank, in Salem
Chapel township, Monday night. Over
two hundred voters were present,
among the number being more than
fifty whites.
The appointment belonged to Ru-
fuS Clement and Julius Hawkins who
are working for the white Republi-
can ticket. They and their crowd
went out in three hacks, which were,
of course, paid for by the white candi-
dates.
Fits and Crews and their friends
heard of the meeting and they went
out to call for a division of time.
This was refused until a friend of the
Fits faction arose and Informed
Clement and Hawkins that they
would not be allowed to speak unless
they granted a division of time.
After short discussion the PROPOSE
tion was accepted and the speaking
went on. Rufus Clement made the
opening speech. He was followed by
Fits and Unthank who proceeded to
answer all of Clements charges.
The most amusing part of the
whole meeting was that Julius Haw-
kins, who entertains a very high
| estimate of himself as political de
batter, held back for the closing argu-
ment. When he arose to speak the
| lights in the house began to go out
| and in a few minutes Hawkins stood
in utter darkness. The crowd, OF
| course, left the house and poor Haw
kins had nothing else to do but tt
| follow. He returned home boiling
over with madness because he was de
prived of making his ''most powerful
| address"

THE POVERTY OF FARMERS.
Wayne MacVeagh Shows the Chief
Cause of 1t.

Wayne MacVeagh Shows the Chief
Cause oft.
The following is from speech de-
livered at Philadelphia by Wayne
MacVeagh. a friend and cabinet adyi-
ser of President Garfield:
While great fortunes are being made
in so many other departments of
American business, the hard working
American farmer has each year found
himself poorer at the end of it than at
the beginning, until now in Senator
Sherman's State of Ohio and in this
State of Pennsylvania his land is
worth in many cases less than half
what it was twenty years ago.
The total depreciation in the value
of farm lands in this county since 1870
cost of any mandatory in it, and yet
when the farmer of today comes to
bind his wheat, which he must sell for
the price fixed in Liverpool and less
than it costs him, he is confronted by
the fact that the Mckinley bill puts
an artificial price upon the Irvine he
must use in order to give a bounty to
the wealthy cordage manufacturers
who contributed to the election of
President Harrison in 1888, and as if
this was not enough he finds his pow
efUy IufUnef increased by having TO
pay an additional and illegal bounty
in consequence of the formation of the
cordage trust and of the monopoly it
enjoys, and so it of almost every article
he now buys.
The sugar trust is another illuStra-
tion applicable to the workingman.
The laboring man, whether farmer or
artisan or day laborer, is obliged to
use sugar for himself and his family
every day in his life, and when he
comes to buy it he finds that an arti
fetal price has been placed upon it by
the Mckinley bill as recompense to
it's wealthy manufacturers for the
money they contributed to assist in
the election of President Harrison
four years ago.

SPEAKING AT WARMERS.

Two hundred and fifty voters turned
out in Lewisville township Saturday
night to hear the political discussion
at Warmers school house. "Brother
Charley" Reynolds made the opening
speech for the Republicans. He was
followed by J. G. Buxton for the Dem
ocrats and John Ketner for the Third
party.
In his speech Mr.. Buxton charged
the leaders of the Republican party
in Forsyth with having just received
$1,000 for Campaign purposes, and
that since the receipt of that many
Republicans could be seen riding
around through the county in bug
gies who had never before known to
own a vehicle of that kind.

ed on FRIDAY or
The residence of William M. Miller,
229 Cherry street, was robbed of over
two hundred dollars either Friday or
Saturday.
The money was in the bottom draw
er of wardrobe in the bedroom of
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller. About 5000 of
the amount belonged to Samuel A.

former was at the house Friday fres-
Going the walls of the bedroom.

LAUGHING AT POOR PEOPLE.
Weaver and Mrs. Lease Make Fun of
Our Farmers.

The editor of the Scotland Neck
Democrat, E. z. Hilliard, was on the
train one day while Weaver and Mrs.
Lease, who were then stumping in the
State, were also on board. He was
sitting near them and heard them
making fun of North Carolinians.
After telling how they laughed at
the custom in some of the rural dis
tricts of the State of using the old
fashioned well-sweeps, Mr.. Hilliard
goes on to say:
'sThey told her, with the same air
of scorn, that it has only been a few
years since the people learned how to
go to mill. That when one carried
corn or wheat to mill he did not have
sense enough to divide it but would
put all the grain in one end of the bag
and then place a rock in the other end
to balance, swing it across his horse
aid thus get it to the mill. They said
the people did not have sense enough
to discover how to divide the corn
themselves but some one else had to
discover it for them. And Mrs. Lease
added that she supposed woman had
to discover it for them. She then eX-
claimed, Lords of creation, how well
they have managed things y"

KILLED HER SWEETHEART.
Miss PaTdue Accidentally Shoots Her
Lover
WHILE PLAYIfG WITH A PISTOL.


Night at Mount Nebo, in Yadkin
County-Shngart the Name of the
Wounded Man-The Young Lady
Almost Frantic Over the Affair.
A sad and horrible accident occur
red Sunday night at Mt. Nebo, in
Yadkin county.
A young man named Shugart called
to see his sweetheart, a Miss Pardue,
on the evening mentioned.
Shortly after calling Miss Pa"due
escorted her sweetheart into the par
lor. In few minutes he pulled a
pistol from his pocket, and, after re
moving the cartridges, began swapping
it at the young lady. She presently
took the pistol from him and began
swapping it at him.
While they were thus amusing
themselves a noise was heard on the
outside of the house. Shugart loaded
his pistol and went out to investigate.
Finding nothing he returned and laid
his pistol on the table.
Miss Pardue, forgetting that the
cartridges had been replaced, picked
up the pistol and pointing it at Shu-
CART. pulled the trigger with fearful
result. The ball entered the young
mans face just above the chin and
ranged through the mouth into his
head.
A physician was Immediately sent
for, but the last report received was
that the wounded man could not pos
sibly live.
Miss Pardue is almost frantic with

Spoke There Saturday.

Spoke There Saturday.
Correspondence of The Sentinel.l
CANA, N. c., Oct. 17.-Messrs. Hen
derson, Democrat; Holton, Republi-
can, and Shuford, Third party,
candidates for Congress in this, the
Seventh district, spoke here Saturday
night to a comparatively large crowd,
each occupying so minutes. To a
close observer there is no fight be-
tween Holton and Shuford. The
battle lies between Henderson and
Shuford.
Mr.. Shuford floundered, flashed and
told jokes and only made two declara-
tions. One was for the government
to issue money direct to the people
but he did not tell how the people were
to get that money, nor how he would
prevent the tariff from drawing it
away from them again if they should
be so unfortunate as to get hold of it.
The other was that he would not
come down but would remain candi-
date to the end, but never intimated
that he expected to be elected.
He didn't mention Viewers name.
His whole speech was calculated to
deceive the unwary, in. proof of
| which the following is sample. He
mentioned three custom houses along
the coast which are of no Importance
except to prevent smuggling in of
dutiable goods, jumping over such
places as Galveston, New Orleans,
| Charleston, Wilmington, Norfolk,
Baltimore, sc. He said that it cost
| thousands to maintain these houses,
| while the amounts collected were on
| ly pitiful sums of Is and 10 cents. He
| didn't mention the millions collected
at the places e jumped over. He
i the tariff. and such stuff counts with
people who ire not informed.
| Mr.. Holton declared for high pro-
| lection, for National Banks, and de-
nounecd free silver. He handles the
Third party very gently. He said
privately that the L. p. came mostly
from the Democrats and therefore he
would be elected. If such remarks
won't make our Third party people
open their eyes, what will?
Mr.. Henderson made a StraightfOr-
ward Democratic speech, sound and
sensible. He declared there was not
bad law on the statute book OF
which the people complained that
was not put there by the Republicans
and against the protest of the Demo
Gratis. On this he challenged contra
diction. He showed that what re
lief the people had gotten came
through the persistent efforts of the
Democrats, and that through the
Democrats alone could come the re
lief the people were asking for. HI
showed that by the repeal of the ta1
our State banks money could be got
ten from State banks on real estat,
at low rate of interest; that the is
sue of such banks can be made as SAT,
as that of National Banks, and thai
by this means the people could ge1
relief at once and that all the Thir(
| party could do was to give the Repub
licans farther lease of the government
that they may bind us yet tighter ant
make our yoke heavier. VOX.

At the express Office this morning

machinery, being sent from Salem Fe-

much like the large paste tubs used
by circus bill posters, having two
handles on each end with long lever
or pump handle by means of which
the water is forced up through brass
pipe, on the end of which is the hose.
By laboring at the lever, good sized
stream is thrown. The old machine
is still in good working order, and
will be returned to Salem after the
