CROPS ATCANA.
Dogs Preferred to Hogs Disguise
with the United States senate.


Corr spondence of The Sentinel.
CANA, Oct. 2-The tobacco crop is
about housed. Some of the recent
cures are right good hut the crop as
a whole is inferior as well as short.
Some are beginning to SOW wheat.
There will be about a usual crop
sown but there will not be as much
fertilizer used as last year.
The corn crop was not as badly
damaged by the storm as was at first
thought.
The o'possum horn and hound is
now heard abroad in the land of
nights. By the way, there are some
in these parts who will have dog to
the exclusion of the hog. One fellow
having had the misfortune to loose
all his dogs but nine has been going
round, l learn, trying to sell his OILY
pig; | suppose in order to get some
thing to feed the remnant of his dogs
on.
DR.. Martin has snapped eff his
house for larger one and is now
doing some work on it preparatory
to moving soon.
[ hear Mr.. j. p. Green and"wife will
start for the Worlds Fair in few
days If the United States Senate
will just allow confidence to be re-
stored some more of us might go,
but while they talk we will have to
wait. VOX.

TO OUR FARMERS.

We publish elsewhere an entertain
ing interview which TEE SENTINEL
procured from the chief of the De-
partment of Agriculture of the
Worlds Fair. We have done this
mainly for the benefit of the North
Carolina farmers and we ask their
attention to what he says. You will
notice that he lays stress upon the
advantage of diversifying crops, he
points out the value of experiment
to determine for what products ones
land may be most protitably used,
he endorses most heartily the benefit
that comes from farmers Institutes.
The SENTINEL is glad to know that
this gentleman recognizes the value
of the North Carolina exhibit at the
Worlds Fair. He compliments it
and believes that our State leads the
South today in the eyes of the world.
We learn that the address of one
North Carolina exhibitor alone has
been taken by over three hundred
visitors, to the Fair. What may
not this mean? Three hundred peo-
pie, intelligent and in comfortable
circumstances. are thinking of this
State because one man placed few
specimens in the North Carolina
exhibit. There are hundreds of
others, too, who cannot be counted.
We should not wonder that the
State will greatly profit through the
Columbian Fair.

Correspondence ofThe Sentinel
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-It is stated
upon good authority that the Presi-
dent has offered the office of Superin-
tendent of the eleventh census to Car
roll w. Wright, of Massachusetts,,
who is the present commissioner of
labor. If Mr.. Wright should accept
the place he will retain his old posi-
tion as head of the labor bureau. but
will receive only one salary. 1t is TO
be hoped that Mr.. Wright will accei +
the Presidents offer. He is perhal S
the best equipped man in the county
for the place.
l had al interview with Senator
Ransom this morning in regard to the
outcome of the silver controversy. He
could not tell, he said, what the re-
suit would be, but that compromise
would be effected; that his chief OBJ
ject had been to secure for the coua-
i try sound and ample currency of
gold, silver, and paper. He was OPP
posed to the unlimited coinage of sill
yer because that would derange the
system contemplated by the Demo-
cortic party when in their platform
they demanded such Safeguards of
legislation" as would keep the curren-
cy stable, and its different elements
interconvertible. He wanted to
make safe" the money that went in
to the hands of the people. Bi-metal-
ism by limitation was his idea-that
is to put into the currency system all
the silver that it would hold without
collapsing; which could be done only
by judiciouS limitation of it's coin
age. ITO ILLUSTRATED" said he, 1--WE
| mustn't put too much water in the
whisky, and just so we must take care
not put too much silver in our money.
Enough of it is indispensable, but
too much would be Destructive
In conclusion he said. 81 am for
good money, sound money, safe mon
ey, and plenty of money, of gold, sill
yer, greenbacks, and State bank
notes."
Senator Ransom is earnestly en-
deavoring to bring about harmony in
the Democratic party. He believes
| that to be necessary. He thinks that
the President was right in demanding
the repeal of the Sherman law, be-
cause the rubbish needs to be cleared
away before any new system can be
constructed with advantage. He
thinks the whole financial policy of
the Government needs reconstruction
radical reconstruction and not mere
| reform. He would have no more
makeshifts if he could avoid it, and
will earnestly uphold the President
as matter not only of the policy but
| of justice. He did not construe the
Cleveland letter as Capt.
Ashe did. He thought it favorable to
silver as money metal. The Sena-
tors views will have great weight
here, and he is talking freely. In my
opinion he is the best equipped man
in the Senate. TARHEEL.

BUILDING A TOWN.

One of the most promising towns
in Western North Carolina was
planned mainly by citizens OF Wins
ton. We refer to North Wilkesboro,
situated in the most beautiful part of
the valley of the Yadkin. Its site is
lovely spot and the vista up the
valley is exceedinly charming. At
the terminus of railroad, with a
very large section of country tribu
tary to it, with great water power,
with unrivalled climate and with
beauty of landscape, North Wilkes
boro has its future in it's hands. Its
citizens must do the rest.
The modern idea of building town
instead of waiting for one to grow is.
to our mind, eminently sensible if
the site possesses natural advant
ages. 1t takes men to make towns,
good, business-like, progressive men.
Stimulated by local pride, impelled
by the best business motives, led by
hope, inspired by confidence, and
kept together by the spirit of co.
operation, what cannot a communi-
ty do? For lack of these things
many town has ceased to develope
or has actually receded. Our citizens
will take pleasure in watching the
progress of the new town in Wilkes
county and wish it success. 1t was
laid out on a scale worthy young
city. We trust it will grow accord
ing to its aim.

ABOUT RELIGION.

The conversion of a Hebrew to the
faith of Buddha was an unusual in
cident. 1t happened at Chicago a
few days ago. Those who have read
Edwin Arnold's beautiful poem, 1.-The
Light of ASIA" will receive a favor
able impression of Buddhism. There
are many men and many faiths, and
if a man finds another form of re-
hgion which satisfies his own soul, he
is right in adopting it. One who
lives up to the Golden rule in all the
relations of life must be a good citi-
zen. It matters not SO much what
faith man adopts as that he liyes
up to his faith and gives to every
man his due. The religious history
of the world is peculiar. 1t is full of
noble deeds, of heroic sacrifices, of
sublime faith. Unfortunately, too,
it is in part a record of prejudice,
slaughter, pillage, burning and
tyrrany. The religions of Christ and
of Mohammed had humble origin.
One was the son of carpenter; the
other was a camel-driver. Character
is of more value than birth. Tits is
shown by the esteem in which those
great teachers, Christ and Moham-
med, are held. Buddha, we believe,
was prince, but he was noble in
character without reference TO his
royal blood.
There is much that is essential to
all religions. Rules of human con
duct cannot differ SO much as creeds.
ALI honest efforts to live up to any
faith should be respected. The l,arg-
est giver to a. Philadelphia church
was q man now under arrest for

Correspondence of the Sentinel.l
ToBACCovILLE, Oct. 2.-Farmers
have been very busy for the pest few
weeks cutting and curing tobacco,
but most of them are through now.
Some report good cures while others
are not so good. We think the crop
generally is better than it was last
year.
We had light frost Friday morn
ing in the bottoms. 1t bit some to
bacco and late corn.
Messrs. John l.. and Eddie Vest

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

In neglectiDg to make an exhibit
at the Worlds Fair this city has lost
it's best opportunity for making
known it's wonderful tobacco indus
try. North Carolina has very credi-
table exhibits in agriculture, mining
and forestry, but in respect to to-
bacco it shows a blank at the great
exposition. Our people who have
seen the Fair regret this very much
There never was such an opportuni-
ty to make known the superiority of
our tobacco; before hundreds of
thousands of people the name OF
Winston could have been connected
with the best grade of tobacco that
is grown.
People learn by experience, and the
lesson taught by this neglected
opportunity is that no similar
occasion should be allowed 20 pass
by without taking advantage of it
by making the town extensively
known in the product wherein We
surpass all other towns of the nation
Every visitor to the Columbian Elk
position realizes the immense adj
vantages which it affords for making
known the resources of a section.
These opportunities are infrequent.
They should never be overlooked.
Winston has spent money for ad-
vertising and sometimes has done SO
in the VIZ ng way. We have learned
by experience what to avoid as
valueless and what not to neglect.
