HUNTERS AND FISHERS.
Bob Spaugh and Geo. Winkler Boast
of Zig Results,

That hunting and fishing expedition
to the meadows of the Dan by three
Salem boys, George Winkler, Bob
Spaugh and Charlie Keehln, is the
source of much wonder and mirth
among their circle of acquaintences.
1t is said that Bob Spaugh is exhibit
ing bunch Of hair which he claims
to have shot from big black bear up
in the Blue Ridge mountains. Bob
claims that if the gun had only shot
where he aimed it the bear would
have been his meat. Those who have
seen the hair and are acquainted with
the different breeds of wild and do
nestle animals give it as their judg-
ment that Bob's trophy is only a
bunch of hog hair and are quietly
awaiting the arrival of some old Blue
Ridge farmer in quest of the kidnap-
perS of his fatted shOats.
George Winkler's boasts are a little
more modest THAI Bobs. He only
claims to have caught a huge min
now from a mountain brook that
measured two inches in length and
weighed the sixteenth part of an
ounce.
Charlie Keehln did not succeed in
bagging any game but feasted royalty
on the catches of his two compaL ions.

RANSOM AND VANCE
The Struggle Between the North Car
DINA Senators.

Special to Atlanta Constitution.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The fight
over the confirmation of Kope Elias
for collector of internal revenue of
North Carolina, has reached stage
where it must eventually mean vic
tory for one of the North Carolina
Senators and defeat for the other. Sen
ator Ransom is urging his confirma-
tiOn. Senator Vance declares that he
shall not be confirmed, the latter
holding that Elias is his political
enemy and has been endeavoring to
injure him in the State. The matter
has reached such stage before the
Senate that yesterday a resolution
was passed authorizing the finance
committee to send for persons and
papers, at the expense of the Senate,
in order to Investigate the matter.
Mr.. Elias and many North CAROLYN
ians will be brought here to testify
before the committee. 1t is life
and death political struggle between
Ransom and Vance.

A TALK WITH PROF. GENTRY.
The ShOwman's Parents Natives of
Rockingham County.

About $500 men, women and chill
dren attended Prof. Gentry'S matinee
Saturday afternoon-and they were
all delighted with the performance
The exhibition that night was wit
missed by at least 1900 people. One
old citizen who was present at every
performance remarked that he was
stuck on the show and that he was
''almOSt persuaded" to make applica-
tion to the owner for a job.
A SENTINEL representative inter
viewed Prof. Gentry Saturday even
training his animals. He said that
his home was in Bloomington, Ind.
He is only % years old and has been
in the show business thirteen years
and has met with splendid success.
Il would not exchange my Quilt with
Bailey for the well-knOwn Barnum's
circus and menagerie," said the Pro-
fessor. ''The fact is have made
more money this year than Bailey"
Prof. Gentry has two brothers
(Will and Frank who travel with.
They handle the animals and have
them under as cd command as the
owner.
81 am near the home of my par
ents," continued Prof Gentry. MY
father and mother were born and
raised in Rockingham county, this
State. Richard Henry Gentry was
my fathers name. My grandparents
were also from the same county"
The show left Winston Sunday
morning for Raleigh, where exhibit
tions viii be given for three days.
From there it goes to Wilmington.
Prof. Gentry said that he would then
take in South Carolina and other
Southern States of mild climates.
Heretofore his winter quarters have
been IN Bloomington, Ind, but this
winter will be spent in Florida.
ABOUT TRAINING ANIMALS.
Prof. Gentry's knowledge of ami
mails and his power over them is little
short of marvellous, and the interest
ing feature of il all is that he accom-
plishes everything by kindness alone.
II never undertake to train a pony
or dog unless | know that the animal
is trainable," said Professor Gentry.
''After determining the fact, | go to
work and acquire the friendship and
love of the animal-that is | make a
perfect 'mash" and then | can do
what | please with 1t. | use great
deal of patience and never give up a
course of training until success has
crowned my efforts: for instance it
took me eight months to train the
little dog Barney to turn SOmer-
Saults backward. Kindness and pa
thence are the only forces | use in
training either d dog or pony"

est discovery in Kansas is a liquid
preparation that will make the Afri-
cans skin white. The discoverer

THE STATE OF TRADE.

From Bradstreets'.
Richmond: Orders in all lines are
better this week than for some time
past. Buyers are being attracted to
the city by the annual state fair.
Collections ara improving, but opera
tions are hindered by the continued
t;ghtness in the money market.
Baltimore: Fancy goods, tinware,
tinplate, stoves and glassware trades
report a fair volume of business.
Clothing trade still continues very
much depressed, with Il tendency to
remain go Tor some time. Collections
in these trades continue backward,
though in others Il slight improve
ment is noticeable. Jobbers in the
majority of other trades consulted
still report considerable hesitation
on the part OF customers in purchas
ing, attributing it to the Senate S
delayed action on the silver question.

The Book ofthe Fair.

The third part of this invaluable
publication surpasses even it's pre-
decessors, in the profuse illustrations
OF the Fair exhibits and the letter
press 1t is not fulsome praise to
assert that the Book of the Fair,
both in the excellence of illustrations
and thoroughness of detail of de-
scription, SURPRISES all forts OF fine
workmanship and painstaking edi-
torship that have come under our
notice, and deserves, and probably
receives, the generous support to
which it is enUitled. The fortunate
possessor of a set OF the Book of the
Fair, will have that which in time
will be invaluable as souvenir work
of art, and a faithful record of the
greatest exhibition the world has
ever witnessed.

A WOMAN DISTILLER
She and the SIN Both Belonged to
FPh HOneycut.

Fph HOneycut.
From the Oh rlotte News.
For many years Eph. Honeycutt,
OF Mission, Stanly county, has con
Quoted a brandy distillery, and had
a reputation throughout that coun-
ty for making the best brandy to be
had. The distillery was always con-
Quoted in al orderly way which is
not the case with all them.
The other day a revenue officer
went down to the still to mark up
the brandy, and 10 and beholdl a
woman was attending to things.
The officer inquired of the woman as
to Honeycutt's whereabouts.
"He's not here; does not stay
here, replied the woman.
"Well, who runs the still"
"Why, l do of course. l have been
attending to it for these many days,
and can make just as good run of
brandy as Eph Honeycutt can"
"Well, who are you and who does
this distillery belong TOP asked the
officer in astonishment."
"The whole thing including myself
belongs to Eph Honeycutt, for am
bis wi e. | attend to things for him,
because he has the farm and other
matters to look after"
And then she went a round to
"chunk" up the fire, and squeezed the
flannel strainer in the doubling
keg" to see if the "siDglings' were
strong enough.

ANOTHER GOLD NINE.
The --latest Discovery Made in Stanley
County.

From the Stanly News.
About one month ago gold was dis
covered on w. S. Ingram's land and
at once Mr.. Ingram allowed parties to
commence prospecting for the same.
As result, in about 10 days the en-
tire neighborhood became greatly eX-
cited. AS many as fifty men began
search at once, and an extraordinary
rich find has been the result. Last
Saturday nugget weighing % dwt.
was found and great many Others
ranging from of dwt. to 30 dwts.,
and the farm of about 200 acres that
could have been bought for fifteen
hundred dollars, has suddenly been in
creased in value to an extent I'M
known. Some say s., 900 has been Of
fered for 1t, and others, Sl2,0
AS to the manner of working the
mine, the old fashioned rocker is used,
but often the gold is clearly detected
without the use of the rocker. Mr..
Ingram does not want the mine de-
veloped any farther. 1t bids fair to
rival the Tebe Saunders mine.

THE INCOME TAX.
What Mr.. Bryan Thinks Along This
Line.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Mr. Bryan,
of Nebraska, who is a member of the
majority of the committee on ways
and means, is trying to have a grad
uated income tax made a part of the
tariff bill. If it is not accepted, he
will present it to the house in some
form. The young Nebraska states
man thinks he has solved what is
considered the most Objectionable
features of the income tax proposition
the equisitorial feature. He would
have it made the duty of every person
liable to a tax upon his income to go
to the Office and pay it and not sub
Ject him to the annoyance of paying
agents of the government, which has
been suggested as it's disagreeable
feature. He Thinks those who had
no desire to avoid the payment of
tax would escape the inquisition of
annoyance. He will propose tax on
all incomes above s., 800 at the rate of
l per cent, per cent on $1,000; 4 per
cent on $1,000 per cent on So, 900,
and 10 per cent on $50, 900. His plan
is to have the postmaster in cities Of
10000 population or less to collect the
income taxes and in large cities a
special income tax collector to be ap
pointed. He has been getting some
Information from foreign countries
on the subject and thinks he will be
able to present the matter to the
house in a manner that will give the
proposition the support of the major
ity. He says it solves the question of
raising revenue and gives the party
an opportunity to carry out the plan
Of tariff reduction to which it is
pledged. He does not know yet
whether his plan will be accepted by
the Democrats of the ways and means
committee as it has not yet been dis
cussed at any great length.

TALE OF THE STORM.
Lives Lost and Property Destroyed OIL
the South Carolina Coast.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 16.-A special

of devastation and death wrought by
the hurricane last week in and around

was done to merchandise stored in
warehouses.
At Magnolia Beach almost every
house was washed away, and thirteen
white and six colored people were
drowned. A number escaped a watery
grave by taking refuge in trees.
