RANSOM AND VANCE
Among the Eighteen of the Oldest
United States Senators.

Among the Eighteen of the Oldest
United States Senators.
Special CORE srondence of The Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-There are
in all thirty senators whose terms will
expire on the fourth of March, 1885
OF these fourteen are Democrats
Berry, of Arkansas; Butler, of South
Carolina; Caffery, of Louisiana; Cam
den, of West Virginia; Coke, of Tex
as; Colquftt, of Georgia; Harris, of
Tennessee; Huntin, Ct Virginia; Lind
say, of kentucky; Martin, of Kansas;
Mcpherson, of New Jersey; Morgan,
of Alabama: Ransom, Of North Caro-
lima. and Walthall, of Mississippi
Sixteen are Republicans-Carey, of
Wyoming: Chandler, Of New Hamp-
shire: Cullum. Of Illinois; Dixon, of
Rhode Island; Dolph, of Oregon;
Frye, Of Maine: Higgins, of Delaware;
Uoar, of Massachusetts; Henderson,
of Nebraska: Mcmillan, of Michigan;
PettigreW, of South Dakota: Power,
IF Montana; Shoup. Of Idaho: wash
burn, of Minnesota: Wilson, of Iowa;
and WOlcOtt, of Colorado.
The Oldest members Of the Senate IN
Ohio: Justin Morrill,, Of Vermont,
and NJ. w. Ransom, Of North Caro-
lima. Sherman became Senator in
1861, over thirty-tWO years ago, put
has not served continuously, having
been Secretary of the Treasury in the
cabinet of President Hayes from 1871
to 1881, when he was reelected to the
Senate. He has served in that body
81 years, and his present term expires
in March 1899.
Morrill, became a Senator in SOFA
Ransom in 1872 These have served
continuously. William B. Allison, of
Iowa, and John 2. Jones, of Nevada,
came to the Senate in 1873. Ransom
is the Oldest Democratic Senator.
COckrell, of Missouri, who is the only
man remaining of those who en-
tered the Senate in 1915, is the next
Oldest Democratic Senator. Butler.
Coke, Harris, Mcpherson, Morgan and
VOORHEES,, are the only Democrats,
and Cameron and Hoar the only Re
publicans whose service began in 1877.
Call, Vance and Vest, Democrats
and Platt, Republican, took their
seats in the Senate for the first time
in 1879.
Hence it appears that of the eigh-
teen Senators who have served longer
than thirteen years, two are from
n OfID Carolina. IL may also De HOUcu
that seven of them are Republicans
and eleven Democrats. Only seven OF
these Democratic Senators besides
Ransom have been in service longer
than Vance, and by reason of this
| fact the North Carolina Senators re-
| ceived the most important committee
| assignments at the recent feOrganlZa-
tion of the Senate, and were able to
| secure for North Carolina man the
clerkslip Of that body, as well as to
extend a powerful influence over Pres
idential appointments. Seniority is a
great advantage in either house OF
Congress.
VIM. NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, be
| came a Senator in 1864, and served till
1879, when he resigned. But he en-
tered the Senate again in 1887, ano
was reelected in 1893. He has there
fore served seventeen years and ha:
six years more to serve. With thi:
correction the foregoing statement j:
| accurate.
Teller came in in 1876, but was Sec
rotary of the Interior under Arthur.

CROPS DAMAGED
Ey Heavy Rain-Wheat Crop Not SO
Good as First Thought.
Of the Sentinel

Good as First Thought.
Correspondence Of the Sentinel.
i MANA, n. O., June 29.-We had one
of the heaviest rains here last night
for years, and much damage was
done to land in washing it. The rain
beat down oats and the young tobacco
badly The farmers have harvested
wheat and are now busy laying by
corn. The wheat crop is not going
to prove as good as was hoped. The
best and surest way to get at good
'or poor wheat crop is to measure by
the half bushcl and use no guess
work Whilst the crop is some better
than for a few years past it is by no
means all for sale. Another crop
must be sown, and for bread. Tobac-
co is growing nicely now and corn is
doing well so far, and should the seas
ons keep coed the crop will be good
one.
Messrs. Wade. Conrad, Kiger and
Early made short visit to the home
of p. S. Early'S father in Virginia last
week, and along the route one could
see well titled crops. The tobacco
above Rockford on toward Mt. Airy
was unusually fine and it Seemed like
no decrease in acreagewas made this
season. Getting into Virginia you
strike ii grass country, the home of
fine horses and cattle. The hay crop
is fine there Mr.. w. X. Early, of
WOodlawu, Va, had already put up
one hundred tons, The wheat crop
there was also very fine and the oat
crop the finest for years. Mr.. Joseph
Early, father Of the writer, had sixty
acres in one field that he stated would
make two to three thousand bushels.
You there see many fine cattle and
matters are very close there as here,
the country seemed to be improving
rapidly.
Hillsyille, Va, has a telephone wire
to Betty Baker, six miles in length.
Mr. 9. NJ. r. Mitchell has nearly
completed a very handsome hotel at
the top of the grand old Blue Ridge,
and all the rooms have already been
engaged for the coming season by
parties from Georgia and South
Carolina.
Mt. Airy we found the same hust-
ling young city. She certainly is
blessed in good hotels The Blue
Ridge Inn and Renfro Inn are models
in their way, and are rapidly filling up
with guests for the summer months
But there is no town in the whole
country building up more rapid than
East Bend. 1t is moving ahead with
rapid strides. 1t only needs a rail
road to make it rival for the Twin
City.
The people are very much pleased
to know Bob Glenn ''got there and
we are ready to vote for Forsyth's
plucky sheriff. But we knew Bob Nc
Arthur of old and know he has plen-
ty of grit.
The young people are anticipating a
very pleasant time July 4th at Shore
and Speas' Ferry. 1t is delightful
place to have good time.
We are still blessed with good
health throughout this section.

How Lord MscauIay Read.

That learned man, Lord Macaulay,
tells in these words bow he learned
to read. He says:
When boy, l began to read very
earnestly, but at the foot of every
page Tread l stopped and obliged
myself to give an account of what l
had read on that page. At first l
had to read it three or four times be-
fore Igot my mind firmly fixed. But
| compelled myself to comply with
the plan, until now, after have read
a book through once, l can almost
recite it from the beginning to the
end. 1t is very simple habit to
form early in life and is valuable as
a means of making our reading serve
the best purpose.

Infants Given in Marriage.

By Hindoo.
"The great curse of India and the
greatest drawback to the develop
ment of my countrvmen is, in my
opinion, the terrible child marriages
than even yet obtain in a very great
measure. The drain upon the vital
energy and the deterioration of the
character of the people caused by
this fearful custom is enormous.
"When you think that the females
are ordinarily married at ages rang
ing from infancy to nine years, that
the age of the husband varies in the
same proportion, and that tn,
average age of the mother giving
birth to her first child is about ten
years, you may picture few of the
consequences of this custom
Il often think / can trace it's evil
effects in the languor of my country
men, in their lack Of energy, of inter
est, of ambition, and in their passive
acceptance of whatever is as the best
Certainly these marriages. being
made without regard to the feelings
of the married couple, are very fire.
quently the source of lifelong I'M
happiness and undoubtedly lead in
directly to much profiigacy and to
misery of many kinds.'

That One Cigar q Day.

A man was advised. by his doctor
to take better care of himself The
doctor said: You must go to bed
early, eat more roast beef. drink beef
tea, go out for months rest in
some summer watering-place, and
smoke just one cigar a day, or you
won't iye." The fellow met the
doctor about a month afterward,
and the doctor said, You're looking
better" WELL" he replied. seDoc-
tor, I am feeling better. I went to
bed early. ate more roast beef, spent
a month in the country, and took
great care of myself, but that one
cigar a day nearly killed me, for /
never smoked before"

From the Washington News I

Even pig will turn up it's nose
at tobacco" says a writer in a
woman's journal True enough;
and, by the same token, a pig has
no use for ice cream, and it doesn't
like music, AMI it would ra ther have
a bundle OF straw in it's pen than a
picture from the brush of Rembrandt
People cannot be expected to regu
late their likes and dislikes in accord
ance with the tastes of pigs. To
bacco is harmful, in the shape oil
cigarettes or candidates cigars, but
the ladies must use better arguments
than the above if they would have
its use discontinued.

National and State Banks.
rom the Wilmington star.l

From the Wilmington Star.l
A farmer who has five hundred
acres of un1ncumbered land could not
borrow one hundred dollars from a
national bank on that security be
cause the national bank scheme pro-
hibits that. What this county
needs and must have before the
financial problem is solved is banks
for the people, where the farmer and
others who want money and have
land or some other property to give
as security can get it. And this is
the only way that this country will
be provided with volume of cur
rency ample for it's needs, and with a
currency which cannot be manipu-
lated and controlled by the banks in
in few of the banking centres.

The Doom of silver.
From the N. Y. Sun.

from Jhe N, 7. sun.
The stoppage of the free coinage
of silver in India seals the doom of
silver as standard of monetary val
ue. Great Britain rejected it in 1918,
Germany in 1871, the United States
in 1878, the Latin Union in 1875,
and Australia in 1892. Now that
the mints OF India are no longer open
to it, coins of silver become every
where, except in Mexico and South
America, mere tokens, deriving their
value from the fat of the govern
ments which issue them, and from
their interconvertibility with gold.
For other uses, the metal will re-
