Mr.. George Smith showed US a lamb

Our farmers are growing about the
condition of the roads and saying the
Legislature should do something for
them.

Correspondence of the Sentinel
DAVIDSON, n. c., Feb 27-David-
son Colleges artificial lake, which is a
certainty of the near future, is about
a half mile east of the campus and di-
rectly back of the main college build
ing. 1t will cover almost fourteen
acres. A small creek flows into it,
furnishing continual stream at all
times. 1t is SUI rounded by about six
teen acres which will be turned into a
park sometime in the near future.
A boat and bathing house worth
$3.50 will be erected as soon as the lake
is ready.
DR.. Smith. our most faithful pro-
fessor, told US that Mr.. Wiley, of Sal
isbury, had given $500 for the lake,
upon which he made motion that
s'Wiley Lake" The motion, being
seconded, was unanimously carried.
DR.. Smith then told the students
that it would take $3.50 to get the
boats, and suggested that each man
would subscribe as much as he thought
he could give, giving not more than
81 and not less than ten cents: they
did accordingly and soon S216 were
raised. The boats will be ordered

Now, in conclusion, let US, the
alumni, the lovers and the students OF
this dear old college, extend ouI
thanks, not only to that kind, noble
and generous man, s. Fl. Wiley, OF

ELKIN, n. c., Feb. 27.-Snow began
falling early this morning and contin-
ued until about p. M, when it chang
ed to drilling rain. This kind of
weather, while it enables the farmer
to put his tobacco in shape for mar
ket, is keeping him back with his
farm work.
Mr.. Jerry Barnes shipped a nice lot
of leaf from this point to Winston to-
day. The breaks on this market last
week were good, and prices satisfac-
tory.
Mr.. J. f. Cooks dwelling house, in
Jonesville, came very near being burn
ed last night. The fire originated
from the stove in the dining room,
and, when discovered, had burned
through the floor and the stove had
fallen through to the ground under
meath.
Mr.. Floyd Low, of Allegheny coun-
ty, had his leg caught and crushed at
a mill where he was at work last
week. Physicians were hastily sum-
moned. The leg was so badly mashed
that amputation was found necessary.
The young man died during the eper-
alton.
Our town is becoming somewhat
stirred up over the postoffice. ]. S.
Bell is candidate for the appoint
ment, and has the endorsement of
seven-eights of the Democratic pat
ronS in the town. There is a small
element, however, that desires to inn
part man from Winston to attend to
Uncle Sans mail bags for us. We
shall see what the result will be. 1t
is wrong to make man who has stood
abreast in the foremost ranks in every
political campaign for the last twenty
years and helped to fight the battles
of Democracy to stand back when
there is prize and let it go to one
who does not even live in the county.

THE VIRGINIAN, the oldest news
paper, save one, in the State of Vir-
ginia, has been absorbed by the
News. The Virginian was founded
in 1905, and has. had a somewhat
checkered career. It's final suspen
sion is due to the multiplication of
newspapers in recent years, by which
the patronage is divided up until
there are no longer any profits in
the business in most towns and
cities There are numbers of papers
in North Carolina today that are
eking out al existence and which
really deserve Il good support and

ing ofthe business. Itwould be much

better ones.

SATURDAY IN THE LEGISLATURE.
The Asylums Provided For-Almost a
Personal Collision.

PERSONAL
RALEIGH, Feb. 25.-The Senate
passed today upon it's third and final
reading the Appropriation bill provid-
ing for the various insane asylums of
the State. These appropriations are
very large in consequence of certain
repairs and improvements to be made.
The North Carolina Insane Asylum,
at Raleigh, under this act gets total
of $4,000 for Dext year. This pro-
vides for the erection of an assembly
dining-room, electric light plant, en-
cheering department, etc. The Nor
canton Insane Asylum receives $12, 900
appropriation for the next year, for
the construction of similar building
The Colored Insane Asylum, at Colds
boro, receives S4S, 900 for next year,
providing for similar improvements.
In the House bill was taken up to
repeal the tax exemptions of the
North Carolina Railroad, and after
much discussion was made a special
order for Monday night.
The Revenue bill was taken up, and
in committee of the whole the general
tax was fixed at twenty-five cents,
school tax fifteen cents and the pen
sion tax four cents. The tax on Build
ing and Loan Associations was Strick-
en- out.
A Democratic caucus was held this
afternoon ON the election law of the
State. 1t will probably not be amend
ed much at this session. Bills have
been introduced by Third partyites to
amend the election law, but amy at
tempts from this resource will be
resisted.
The present Legislature appears to
delight in undoing many things that
the last Legislature characterized by
its Farmers Alliance tendencies did.
Today a bill was introduced to repeal
the resolution instructing our Sena-
tors and Representatives at Washing
ton to vote for financial reforms de-
manded in the Ocala platform.

The Legislature.

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 23.-The Sem
ate bill appropriating annually Sl2,-
500 for the Greensboro Normal and
Industrial School, and $4,000 for the
University, passed it's final reading.
The appropriation carries with it an
additional sum for repairs, etc.
The bill to create Elkin county was
discussed on it's third reading and
passed-28 to 8.
The interesting subject in the
House was the bill to establish a
State banking system. This is the
bill introduced by Mr.. Watson, of
Forsyth. The bill was written by
Col. Burgwyn, of Henderson. 1t will
not, of course, be effective until Con-
gress repeats the 10 per cent. tax on
State banks, the latter action being
confidently expected. The chief Off
Ger of this State banking system will
be the comptroller of banks, with
$4,000 salary. The bill is regarded as
an excellent and effective one.
The House bill appropriating $40, 900
for the purpose of erecting a monu-
ment at the State Capital to the Con-
federal tie soldiers passed and was sent
to the Senate without engrossing. 1t
provoked a lively discussion. Hun
dreds of ladies were out during the
debute of the bill.
