WINSTON Has CAUGHT ON.
A Spelling Bee an the Opera House
Attracts a Large Crowd.

Nearly 500 people attended the
Spelling Bee last week at the Opera
House. The audience was good natur-
ed, patient at times when the program
dragged, and enthusiastic at others.
Some of the promised spoilers were
conspicuous by their absence. The
audience looked in vain for Harper
Reynolds to come riding in on his red
elephant or Major Rogers straddling
his hunchback mule.
Mr.. VIM. a. Blair was the first
master of ceremonies and after a
pleasing Introductory speech he called
cut the spoilers. Some of these spell
erS were so spell-bound at mention of
their names that they could not rise
from their seats.
Squire Best was the first spellcr
but he lasted only one round and an
editor broke on an easy word and re-
tired. Sheriff Macarthur stood up
longer than he expected. but }. Is.
Whitaker out spelled all the rest.
In subsequent match Elisha CraW-
ford, on one side. and r. ID. Dalton
proved the best spoilers. Prof. Ports
and Dave Blair sat down before their
time was expected and altogether the
results were startling to some of the
participants.
DR.. Bahnson, who sat with Worces-
ter's Dictionary, help up the standard
of North Carolina photography and
from his book there was no appeal.
The treasurer reported about S4I.5O
for the benefit of the hospital fund.

BAPTIST FEMALE UNIVERSITY
Quite Probable That it Will be Located
in Winston.

There Is some probability that Win
ston will yet secure the State Baptist
University.
AS will be remembered, it was de-
cided over year ago to olocate the
University in Raleigh. The trustees
purchased a site at cost of $4,000
and the citizens of Raleigh made a
liberal subscription, amounting to
about S25, 900. Only portion of this
amount has been paid.
The Board ,of Trustees, of which
Rev. G. Durham is chairman and N.
B. Broughton corresponding secre-
tary, is anxious to get the University
established as early as possible, and
with that in view have asked the
West End Hotel and Land Company,
of Winston, to make, them PROPOSE
tion for securing the institution,
which promises TO be big thing for
the city that gets it.
The Land Company has responded
with one proposition which is being
considered by the Board of Trustees.
This is gift of a beautiful site, con-
sisting of ten acres of ground in the
West End.

BUSINESS GOOD
With Warehouse Men and Tobacco
Manufacturers.

Receipts for last week were very
large and business very active at all
the warehouses, says the Tobacco
Journal. The mild condition of the
weather has put tobacco in marketa-
BILE shape and but for the terrible
roads leading here the receipts would
have been much larger. Planters are
anxious to sell their crops and will do
so Just as fast as the weather will per-
nit.
The warehouses showed a prep0n-
derance of wagon trade for the week.
Much choice stock was offered and the
bidding was active on every sale.
Some extra fine lots of filters were
sold, most of which was taken up by
local manufacturers. Quite d large
number of these are now on the mar
ket buying stock. Wrappers, as usu-
al, were scarce during the weeks
sales, though several good lots were
offered and brought fancy prices. On
all desirable stock the bidding was
active and good values realized on eV-
erything sold. Taking the week
business as whole it was quite salts
factory-the planters in most instan-
ces being well pleased with their
sales.
Manufacturing business is active,
the shipments for January being
1881, 437 pounds. Orders are coming
in freely for all grades of Winston
goods and manufacturers are getting
ready for heavy work this year.

To Buyers of Fertilizers.

Mr.. Robinson. commissioner of agri-
culture, gives the following notice to
buyers of fertilizers: ''Buyers of fer

sire to emphasize the fact that every
precaution is being taken to this end.
Farmers are cautioned not to purchase

proper evidence of being on sale in ac-
cordance with the provisions of law.
All packages should show the guaran-
teed claim of contents plainly printed

1893 tag, printed in red ink, which is
evidence that the brand is properly
registered in this office. The claim of
contents required by law must not

cent. of ammonia and l per cent. of
potash. Buyers are requested to
write the department in regard to this
subject as often as any question may
arise in regard to any brand. In this
way we can be of much service to buy
ers of fertilizers, and save much dis
appointment in results at next har-
vest"

WHEN WILL 1T BE PAID?
The Insurance on Hotel Zinzendorf
Remains Unsettled.


1t is not definitely known whether
Hotel Zinzendorf will be rebuilt or
not. 1t is matter for the stockhold-
ers to decide upon later.
The insurance on the building has
not been paid yet. THE SENTINEL
has information to the effect that the
insurance companies, as usual, are
trying TO get compromise for less
money than the policies call for They
claim that the owners of the hotel
violated their contract or policies by
allowing gasoline to be used in the
laundry, in which building the fire
originated.
There is difference of opinion with
the hotel people and insurance COM
panies. The former claim that the
laundry was separate building from
the hotel proper, while the latter ar
que that it was not.
The insurance people, with view of
convincing themselves on the subject,
have ordered a number of photo
graphs made showing the several
sides of the hotel. Mr.. S. e. Hough
is doing the WORK. These will be sent
to the head offices of the several COM
panies which are interested.
The local agents here express the
opinion that the West End Hotel and
Land Company will receive every cent
of their insurance on the hotel, and
that at an early date.

RALEIGH. n. C, Feb. Avery few
questions of general interest have been
before either of the two Houses since
my last letter. During the past week
large number of Members have been
absent visiting the Penal and Charita-
BILE Institutions, and great many
are sick with colds. just barely a
quorum was present last Wednesday.
During the incoming week measures
are to be considered, viz: Public print
ing, w. & w. railroad taxation,
Worlds Fair appropriation, Home
stead exemption, legal rate of inter-
est and the dog tax. The latter SUBJ
ject is one which the people of North
Carolina are interested in one way or
the other. In Western North CARROLL
ma the farmers are mostly in favor Of
a heavy tax on dogs in order thatgreat-
er inducement may be offered Sh ep
huSbandry in the mountains where
grass and clover grow so abundantly.
Many letters are being received urging
the passage of a dog law so that sheep
raising can be made profitable. This
is a knOtty question and one the poll
tician fears to touch, especially # he
wants to be his own successor.
The resolution which passed the
Senate Friday urging our Senators
and Representatives in Congress to
work for the completion of the Mica
ragua Canal, measure which will
largely concern North Carolina, is an
important one. Senator Mcdowell
the intrOducer, Sandifer, Jones, Bat

sage, while AycOck, Owen and Little

A FARMER VICTIMIZED.
Two Negroes Succeed in Robbing Him
of About $50.

Two negroes played bold game on
farmer named Martin Key last
Thursday evening. Key is from Surry
county and brought a load of tobacco
to Winston, which he disposed of for
about sixty dollars. Shortly after get
ting his money he was approached by
a negro man who asked him if he
would distribute some advertising
matter in his heighborhood for him.
This Key agreed TO do, and started
with the negro to West End to get the
circulars, &c. When they had gotten
a few blocks from the business por-
tion of town they were approached by
another negro who, after some parley,
proposed to bet Key $40 that he could
not pull certain card out of a pack
which he he held in his hand. Key
accepted the wager and pulled out his
purse to get the money to put up,
when the negro snathed the purse
and ran. Key shot at the fleeing rob-
Der, but failed to stop him, and he
has not yet been apprehended- Some
gentlemen VINO were standing near by
and saw the transaction say they
think they would know the negro
should they see him again.
The negro who first approached
Key was doubtless in the game.
