EDITOR SENTINEL: | will attempt again
to give your readers Il few thoughts and
items from over here.
We arc now having plenty of rain and
crops of all kinds are looking fine and bid
far TO be very good.
The Courtney Manufacturing company
are getting along with their work very
rapidly, but on the 18th instant they come
near having serious trouble. One of
their hands (a negro reported to the
bosses that another negro had stolen some
money from him and they went to work,
J. suppose to investigate the matter. But
tho negro accused had left the works but
they arrested him. through another negro
rot far away and brought him back and
tried to get him to tell where the money
was, but he said he had stolen no money.
One OF the bosses then got Il rope and tied
ii around th" negroes wrist and by another
ncgros leading started off With him with
the threat that if he did not get the money
they would give him hundred llshcs
And | understand they put ii on TO him
but failed To get the money. They brought
him back and tied him. BY this time the
hands was oil for dinner, and most of them
being negroes and linGing out what had
happened some Of them began to curse
and swear and demand The release of the
negro that was tied; but failing to procure
his release one Of the most determined and
outs polcn ones in the crowd said if those
who tied him did not unite him that
he would cut him loose. They released
him and he made for other parts with in
Structi0ns from those negroes that had
procured his release to go and get war-
rant for those that had whipped him. This
is the only disturbance of any consequence
that has been at these Works, nutwitll-
standing hearty all the laborcrs are negroes
except the carpenters. Ali The bosses are
white men except the one 1T the brick ma
son work and he isa colorcd man and a Con-
tractor for that part of the work.

KNOXVILLE. TENN, Aug. is. The Press
Association has had a delightful trip SO far.
In Il social way the party is all that could
Dc desired. Among the one hundred more
or less arc found much of the beauty, wit,
wisdom and cloQncncc of the Palmetto
State. Though Iillman is in Chicago,
thcy have '"ft him at home. The party

M. yesterday. They all enjoyed the beau
tiful ami sublime mountain scenery between
Spaltanhlr@ and Ashcvillc. They did the
town Of A$tcvilc in iinc style on the cleo
trio cars and all G." "jOycd their supper in
the crisp mountain air and the hotels.

much, but he is in fine shape this morning.
We left Ashcvilc Gt 9:l2 and were cor

S G. special Pullman Ncstibucd train.
This is the first time on record that any
body was so met at Paint Rock. 1t is a

log across the street to the hotel.
The ride over the T.. II. V. e G.. to
KNOXVILLE is simply delightful. 1t is
steady, sure, reliable and swift.
Knoxville has been we'll done by the
entire party. and il was easily, pleasantly
and chcarly done through the instrument
tality uf its fine electric car service. We
saw all of its lakes, rivers, hills and dacs
and made the acquaintance Of some of its
hundSomc|t citizens. The train had rot
been here long before a fine looking man
came TO the iraia and cuuuircd for the
S'ENTlHE! man. He had never seen him,
but he had married one Of his pretty cous-
ins and wanted TO meet some of her kin
who he knew cOuld rot procure a stop
ovcrlirkct. But the SENTINEL. man will
show him Il thinC or two on his return. He
has three or four first cousins in this city.
Some of them go to Chicago tc,lay by a
different route.
The whole party is charming, well me;
and happy. B.

THOUSANDS STARVE.
Not Such Misery Since the Cotton
Famine During Our Civil War.

Great suffering exists in Oldham, Eng
land, owing to the prolonged struggle be
tween the master cotton spinners and the
operatives. The number out of employment
in Oldham alone is $4,000. Thousands OF
these are destitute of food and fuel: only
those who belong to the Operatives Cmon
receiving union aid
The prolonged cold weather has caused
bitter hardship to multitudes of those out OF
work on account Of the strike, and the FROST
and snow finger with persistence tna'
points to fatal suffering unless relief speedily
comes to the shivering and starving poor OF
the great cotton manufacturing centre.
The local authorities are overburdened
with demands upon the N and private char.
ity has been exhausted by the continual and
increasing drain since last November. Old
ham has not seen such misery since the time
Of the American Civil War, when the
scarcity of cotton caused thousands of Ian
cashire operatives to be thrown out OF EN-
pIoyment.

CHAPTER XxxvII.
THE TIDE BEGINS TO TURN.


''Is that fellow type of his class" asked
Gordon when Peter Schemyl was gone.
"Yes, and the class is typical of the whole
genus of government officials. Every one
OF them is to be bought. With men Of his
rank the process is, as you see, simple
enough. With men Of higher, grade the
bribe must be higher, and one has to en-
ploy q little tact Thet is the only differ
ence. You might have bought yourself off
at St. Petersburg had you known how to
handle the minister"
SIN that case why should we not get
back to EnglandW
"I have thought of that. But you haven't
enough. Every official on the road to the
frontier would have to be bribed."
"But have enough money in England"
SHOW are you to get it'"
"Write for it. The letter could be ad-
dressed to Schemyl."
Ivan Dontremember laughed.
"Not letter comes into Schemyls hands
that has not passed through dozen on the
road. Every official is on the lookout for
a means to bleed another. Your letter
would be opened to certainty, and Peter
Schemyl would be forced to hand you over
to some one else. You would never get
ing one and then another, you might at
last get away; but it would take years, and
we haven't day to lose. Twelve hundred
rubles and COS English"--
He made q mental calculation, then,
shaking his head, said:
II am afraid there's no chance for you,
but can ask Peter Schemyl. Yes, will
go back and have dram with him on the
strength of having sold n loaf TO advan-
tage. Give me few kopecks. / have
spent my last"
Gordon took the loose silver from his
pocket, and putting it in Ivan Dontremem-
ber's hand said
whatever arrangement you make with
the fellow, you will bear one thing in mind
we take you with us, or we stay with you
and share what we have in equal parts till
all Is gone"
Ivan Dontremember looked gravcly in
Gordon's face for n minute, then, with a
smile, turned and left us in silence.
A long time elapsed - more than two
hours, / think-before we saw him again.
When at length he returned, we saw by his
quick, firm step and the animation In his
deep sunk eyes as he drew near the fire that
our case was not hopeless.
81 had TO make the rascal drunk on his
own liquor" he said, in explanation Of his
long absence, as he threw himself down on
the ground beside us. That's long job
with Russian peasant, even when he helps
himself at your expense. There was no get
ting a word of truth out of him while he
was sober; would not on any consideration
mo, not for all the gold in the world-be-
tray the trust placed in him by the govern
ment; preferred death to dishonor and all
the rest Of IL. However, little by little, as
he grew more and more drunk he confessed
TO having NJ different times got five exiles
out of Siberia and two of them across the
frontier. Finally he let me know exactly
what it cost him TO get these two 10 Berlin
that is what Iwantsd 70 Cpd out. As 1
