WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review for the
Week Ending November 4th.

We are now into the active season
of loose sales and receipts during the
past week have been quite large
consisting of both new and old stock.
Much tobacco came in direct from the
planters by wagons, while the ship
ments by rail were large. Some la rye
lots of new stock were sold, showing
the quality of the crop better than
many had looked for, though a large
part consists of nondescript. All de-
sirable leaf has sold better during
the week and the market closed with
firm tendency. Filters are especial
1y high and wrappers, of body and
color, are taken at outside prices.
Anything that comes within the line
of desirable working stock is eagerly
taken.
From now on the sales are likely to
be heavy and receipts are reported
large this week In all of the inland
markets. Sales blocked most of the
time last week in Danville, and sales
this week were also quite heavy.
Prices were reported.very satisfactory
The crop promises to be fairly
good one for working purposes, though
much of it is coarse and on the over
grown order.
October proved to be a splendid
month with our manufacturers. The
shipments of plug were 103, 900 pounds
ahead of the same month last year.
Business is better all around and
manufacturers look for active trade
from this on.

SALEM BOYS SCHOOL.
An Educational Institution VIII ich
Has a Bright History.

1t is with pleasure that THE SENTI-
MEL notes the continued success of
the Salem Boys School, which has
done and is doing so much for our
communities in preparing the minds
and the hearts of our young men for
the active duties of life.
This is one of the oldest schools in
the State, having been continuously
conducted in the same school building
for ninety-nine years. The amount of
good that has been accomplished in
shaping the characters of the men
who have largely controlled affairs in
Salem for so long period can never
be estimated. Being under the direct
control OF the Moravian church, the
teachers have always been selected
not only for their literary attachments
but also for their Christian character.
In consideration of the age Of the
school and the good accomplished in
the past, it is peculiarly gratifying to
know that the school is growing in
popularity and influence with the pa
irons from the two towns.
The present session has largely
increased attendance over that of any
previous one. having siXty-five in
daily attendance. The sentiment
among the boys for good and their ap
plication to school duties are sources
ofspecial satisfaction to the instruc-
tors and members of the School
Board.
TIE present principal, Prof. Brewer,
has had cnarge of the school for the
past four years, during which time he
has been gratified to see the school
more than double in numbers. He
is very ably assisted the present year
by Mr.. Howard Rondthaler, whose
advantages of trayeliabroa and whose
course at the State University nave
given him an equipment for work in
the school-room that few young men
possess.
The school has two courses: One
preparation for entrance into the
University and the other to prepare
young men for active business life.
The school is now represented at the
University by five young men, and at
Wake Forest by one. There are at
present in the school two young men
| laying the foundation of course
which they hope to complete at Har
ward. The business course is proving
| especially interesting this season, the
very large class in bookkeeping do
| ing excellent work.

Kernersville, chairman of the county
Board of Education.
The building was erected in 1889 by
Fogle Bros. at a cost of nearly 81, ,000.
The lot was in part donated by the
Moravian church. The fund for the
building was raised in part by private
subscription, of which the Messrs Fries
contributed 5000, the county board
ST. 900, and the remainder was paid by
retaining part of the funds belong
ing to the districts for several years
The building is now paid for and the
committee, composed of G. L. Pfohl, S.
E- Butner and A. Fogle, deserve the
thanks of the community for their
faithful services. The building.
1.-TWO stories) containing seven rooms
are nicely painted. The first story is
brick and the second frame, and it is
said to be the best arranged school
building in the State.
We have an enrolment of 225 pupils
in the West Salem school and some 60
in the East Salem school.
The West school is under the charge
of Prof. MeSser assisted by Misses
McCuiston and Butner, while the
East Salem school is taught by Miss
Harrison, of Stokes county. The en-
tire white school population of Salem
is S71.
The attendance this session has
been very gratifying and the peol lie
are taking greater interest in the
schools every year.
We expect to have an months ses-
sion this year, and expect to make
considerable improvements about the
building, and it is contemplated to
erect new building in the eastern
part of the city sometime in '94

NORTH CAROLINA'S MONUMENT.
Col. MuldOon's Design is Accepted
Beautiful Shaft rs Feet High.

Mr.. Hill G Linthicum has returned
from Raleigh. From him it is
learned that the Confederate MOnu-
meat Association of North Carolina
met in that city November End
and adopted for the design for the
monument to be erected in Capitol
square a plan submitted by Colonel
Muldoon, of Kentucky. 1t is beau
tiful shaft seventy-five feet high, up
on pedestal which is half this
height. There will be three bronze
figures representing the three branch
es of service, and on the pedestal will
be the coat-of-arms of the Confeder-
acy and the oat-of-arms of North

COLORED GRADED SCHOOL.
Princ cipai Atkins Tells Something
About it's Work.

The colored graded schools was new
er in more prosperous condition at
this stage of the session. For the
first time in the history ,of the school
there are members in all the grades
from the ninth grade down, pursuing
the regular course of studies as laid
down by the Board of School Commis-
sioners. This we regard as signitl-
can't fact; for it shows that, while by
the interest and generosity of the
city the accommodations of the school
have been enlarged and improved,
there has been development in the
school work itself in Justification of
the same.
The general tone of the school is
healthy and reassuring. The pupils
are abe ut their work with an earnest
ness of purpose and studiousness of
application that greatly encourages
the teachers. In this respect there
has been marked improvement. On
the M whole the colored school offers an
object lesson on the Importance and
good effect of education.
1t is unfortunate that so many of
the colored children have to work in
the factories when they ought to be
in school. We are forced TO inquire
whether the parents of the colored
children feel as SenSibly as they
should the weight of the duty resting
upon them to educate their children.
1t seems to us if they did there would
be fewer children in the factories and
more children in the school. We
| know that necessity has good dea
to do with it, but we are not certain
| that it is necessary for so many chill
| drenoto be kept continually in tn,
| factory tread-mill when they shoule
be in the school preparing for the
! work of life. We call. upon the col
ored people in all sincerity, to consld
! er this all important matter.

Year.

Winston's City Schools are in most
fiourishing condition. There are in
daily attendance upon the West and
North Winston Schools more than six
hundred and fifty pupils.
The corps of instructors in both
schools is most able one and rapid
progress is being made in all depart
ments where the pupils have an in
clinatiOn to learn.
The parents of Winston may well
be proud of the educational advantag-
es now afforded their children.
In each grade there is daily some
attractive feature to fire the interests
of the pupils.
Friday being the birthday of
William Cullen Bryant, one of Ameri-
cas- greatest poets, the West Winston
High School rendered quite an inter
esting concert before the pupils and
large number Of visitors.
Every part of the exercises, both
songs and recitations, were from the
pen of this noted poet.
AS Introductory to the exercises,
Supt. Blair gave a brief talk on the
life and works of Mr.. Bryant.
Below we give the prog fam as rem
dered:
Lines to Water Fowl-Eighth and
Ninth Grades.
Piano solo-Rossie Sheppard.
Essay-Poet's life as seen through
his poems-Nellie DeVane.
Innocent Child and Snow White
Flower-Fifth Grade.
Bryant as an Athlete-Tom Barber.
SOng-Hunter of the West-Pupils
of the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
Grades.
The Fringed Gentian-Sixth Grade.
Bryant's Cure for the Big Head
Gilbert SWink.
Recitation-Carrie Crutchteld.
Reading Daisy Hanes.
Song of the SoWer-Seventh Grade.
A number of the participants de-
serve special mention but we will only
say that every pupil did his part well
and reflected much credit upon both
their capabilities and the ability of
their instructors.
The decorations were very unique.
Among the most notable features was
handsome frame, upon an easel, in
which was arranged in most unique
design the name Bryant" composed
of white chrysanthemums, imbedded
in the same flower of different colors
The design was novel and the exc
cutiOn excellent.
At the North Winston school the
national flag was raised during the
day in honor of the poet.

What this Popular Institution is Doing
Successful Year.
The first two months in the history
of the year have been very prosperous
and satisfactory months. As already
noted the attendance in the scholastic
family numbers little more than
325, teachers and pupilsl. In no re-
spect does the Academy rejoice more
decidedly than in the strength of the
faculty. In the scholastic work
nearly all the former teachers are at
their posts, and among this number
we note names like Misses Lehman,
L. and S. Shaffner, Chitty, Bessent,
tained Misses Tracy, Vest and the
five or six other instructors, and has
added Prof. SkiltOn in instrumental
music and Prof. Brockman IN violin
and mandolin instruction. Miss
Scriber is again with the school of
elOcution, Miss Query in calisthenics,
Miss ,SiewerS in studio work; in fact
the faculty never was in better work
ing rider than just at this time
On Tuesday of last week Principal
Clewell delivered lecture on "Wash-
ington City," illustrating the lecture
with stereOpticon views. On Thurs
day Miss Tracy's pupils gave Il recital,
which was attended by the entire
school The Literary Societies are
working in a prosperous and satisfac-
tory manner, and will doubtless later
have one or two of their popular en-
tertainments ready for the public.

''Turn about is fair play"
That is the way the story reads.
November 1st THE SENTINEL told
what tue revenue officers had been do
ing in and around Winston. Next day
it was cilled upon to chronicle what
the blockaders are doing for the "rev-
enuers."
The blockade whiskey and brandy
captured by the officers was placed in
a room in the little one-story brick
building on Church street, next to
Browns warehouse. or course no
one entertained the opinion that the
goods would be ''molested or made
afraid" However, the blockaders
''resolved and resolved" to get away
with the men who had been tamper-
ing with their business. Their plans
adopted proved successful.
Shortly after the hour of midnight
the plans were carried into execution
Horses and wagons were brought to
the building and by the use of a large
auger the lock on the door was re-
moved and the blockaders given free
access to everything on the inside.
They bored around the lock on the
door and thereby removed it.
Only seventeen barrels ane twenty
kegs of corn juice, apple and peach
brandy were removed. Fourteen bar
rels and one poor little empty keg was
left for the reyenuers to rejoice over.
These were removed to Green's bar
room this morning for safe keeping.
Deputy Marshal Foard was inform
cd about two o'clock in the morning as
30 what had happened. He went in
search of the stolen property, riding
several miles before the, dawn of day,
but as yet he has found 40 trace of
either the blockaders or their goods.

1T BECAME A LAW,
President Cleveland Signs the voor-
hees Substitute.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The an
nouncement that the House had con-
Cured in the Senate amendment to
the silver bill was made to the Senate
at $40 p. m. yesterday, but it was
o'clock when the enrolled bill was
laid on the vice-President's desk for
his signature. Immediately after, it
was returned to the House committee
on enrolled bills which committee is
charged with the duty of delivering
1T to the President for his signature.
The President signed the repeal bill
at exactly 1870 o'clock, enc hour and
thirty-five minutes after its passage.
1T was brought to the White House
by Representative Albert J. Pearson,
of Ohio, chairman of the House com
mittee of enrolled bills. who had made
the trip from the Capitol on cable
car.
Mr. Pearson reached the White
House about 4:25, and was immedi-
ately admitted into the Presidents
Office, while the President was exam
ining the figures on the revised vote
on the final passage of the measure.
Secretary Carlisle and Attorney
General Olney were present when the
President attached his signature. Mr..
carlisle llad come over to the White
House to see the final act in the re-
peal legislation, while Mr.. Olney had
dropped in to consult the President
on matter etfecting his department.
When Mr.. Pearson presented the en-
rolled copy of the bill to the Presi-
dent, explaining what it was, Mr..
Cleveland Immediately took up his
pen and wrote these words in the
lower left hand corner:
"Approved November 1st, 1898.
"GRoVER CLEVELAND

ginning of the contest that there had
been honest difference of opinion on
the measure, that those who had op-
posed it and those who favored 1T
were honest, sincere and patriotic.
Which side was right the future alone
would indicate. If the passage of the
bill should bring about small part
of those blessings to the country
which its friends proposed, il it would
restore confidence and enterprise and
bring prosperity to the people, then
the judgment of its friends would be
justified and its opponents would
stand before history as men of honest,
patriotic, but mistaken Judgment. Ii
on the other band, it should bring but
One-tenth part of the evils which its
enemies propbesied, then the judg-
ment of its opponents would be just.
and its friends would stand before
history as honest, patriotic, but mis-
taken men,"
President Blair, of the Peoples
Bank: The passage of the repeal
bill will, l think, materially assist in
restoring confidence, and, though
some time may be required for the
disturbed waters to settle, yet | be-
lieve that the future will bring active
business on better basis than we
have had for years. 1t is a great pity
that sound money could mot have tri-
umphed long ago but it is vastly bet
ter late than never"
VIEWS OF A ROANOKE BANKER.
Mr.. S. w. Jamison, of Roanoke. has
this to say of the financial panic:
THE financial panic first struck the
banks in the money centres of the
country. The lack of confidence
caused the country banks to draw in
their money from New York till the
banks there were reduced to SIC. .000,-
600 below their 25- per cent. rule.
This caused the New York banks to
call in the money owing them by the
country banks, and the result was
general contraction of currency and
the flow of money to New York until
now the banks there have $50, ,000,00
above their reserve. In other words
they have recuperated S66, 900, 900 since
the panic began.
In the money centres in this cOun-
try, such as New York, Chicago and
Boston, there is no lack of money and
re-diScOuntS can be obtained there,
but the country banks are afraid to
borrow that money because they do
not know in what condition the panic
has left their old customers, and as
they must pay their notes to the CEN
tral banks at muturity, they are
AFRAID the parties TO whom they might
lend money would not be able to meet
their notes at muturity.
'sThe improvement will come, and
come slowly. During the panic there
was not only distrust between the
banker and his custom ers, but between
the banks and bankers. Business will
go ahead, but the improvement must
be gradual. Money can be obtained
in New York at 1! and 2 per cent, but
the securities must be f1rst-class, as
the banks there are not disposed to
take any risks. If Congress had done
in July what it has just done,
instead of prOlOnging the depression
by useless discussion, all the trouble
would probably have been removed
by this time"
