OUR CITY.
MIR. w. s. Floyd Speaks of its Status
and PROSPECTS,.

Mr.. w. S. Floyd, of Baltimore. is in
town and in reply to a SENTINEL rep
resentattve hes poke as follows: 81 am
very familiar with the country be-
tween Baltimore and New Orleans: 7
have Travelled it many times, and of
all the towns that | have seen this
one is ahead of them all in CONNER
cial Importance and in wealth accord
ing to population. Besides, the peo-
pie are nice people, and the climate.
In my opinion, can't be- beat any
where.
This town will continue to be
place OF business Importance, and it
will continue to grow ds it has. Be
lore the Roanoke & Southern railroad
was started things looked mighty
blue. The Cape Fear s. Yadkin Val
ley road had cut off a good deal of
trade from this place. The building
OF the railroad to Roanoke was d sort
OF counter movement and stimulated
the people here, and when the rail
read is built from Wadesboro this
town will realize much benefit.
This town has the best back cOun-
try of any town | know of. | was
here in 1878 when it was but village.
i was then struck with the sturdy
character of the farming population.
They looked like Woodworking people.
They Lad good horses, strong har-
ness and sound wagons. Then this is
the kindliest soil that | ever saw: t
responds more quickly to fertilizers
than any [ know of. l remember
farm that r. j. Reynolds had; the
land was poor, but he put two tons of
tobacco stems per acre, he s0wed it in
oats and grass at the same time and
turned that under. The first harvest
resulted in some fifty bushels to the
ere.
''This clay and rcd suh-soil is very
susceptible of improvement. 1t is
fine grass land. Stem tobacco, how
ever, viii keep tobacco green and
growing late into the fall, and there
fore is not good for tobacco. But it
is a fTSt-class fertilizer for wheat,
oats, corn and grass, and it will last
for more than year; sometimes you
will see tho results for several years.
LAS to fruit | consider that Pat
rick county, Va, beats any pl ace that
L ever was in for peaches and apples.
This part of North Carolina is excel
lent for grapes. As to tobacco. that
which grows in Henry county, Va,
and Stokes county, n. c., has the best
reputation of any in the world, and
its best is the finest favored tobacco
in the world. Patrick and Henry
counties are both tributary to the
Winston markets. Ny individual
opinion is that the tobacco grown
around Bristol, Tenn, in its freedom
from grit, the absence Of any bitter
quality, ETC., makes it equal to any to-
bacco in the world.
In Patrick county, some twenty
miles west of the Roanoke & South.
ern railroad, and near the Danville
narrow guage roads are deposits OF
magnetic iron ore of the finest quality
according to the opinions of c6mpe-
tent men who have prospected there.
1t is equal to the ore of the famous
Cranberry mines. The ore is found
not far from the railroad near the
No Business Mountain

MISTAKEN FOR A TURKEY.
A White Man Accidently Killed by
Negro.

Particulars Of sad accidental
shooting scrape comes from Madison,
Rockingham county.
1t appears that two men went out
turkey hunting near that place last
Friday, says the Greensboro Record.
Neither knew the other was out: they
did lot go with each other. One of
them was a colored man of good repu-
tation. In the woods he heard tur-
key, or thought he did, and conceal
ing himself he awaited developments.
The-noise cdme closer and in few
moments he saw what he took to be a
torkey's head some fifty yards away
through the brush and underground;
he took aim and fired. Thinking he
had killed the fowl he crept along
quietly towards the spot, but what
was his horror to see, as he approached,
the body of white man shot through
the head.
Realizing the condition of things,
as soon as he recovered from the shock
he informed the nearest neighbors.
The dead man proved to be Samuel
Harris.
After the body was cared for, the
darkey, whose name is not learned,
sought an officer and gave himself up,
but was discharged.
1t seems Harris was not well known
in the locality or had been living
elsewhere for some time, though
afterwards the colored man recognized
him. The poor darcy was well nigh
Frustrated over the occurrence.

is sECTIONALIsM DEAD?
No Harsh Criticisms from the North on
the Davis Burial.

the Davis Burial.
Fron, the Atlanta Constitution
During the progress Of he funeral
train bearing the remains of Jefferson
DaYis from New Orleans to Rich
mond, the touching tributes at Mont
gomery, Atlanta and other cities have
provoked no Outburst OF sectional
feeling in the north.
A d iscordant mote was sounded
once or twice by some impulsive sec
tionaliS t on the other side of the Po-
tOmac, but it cannot be said that
there was any manifestation of the
older time south hating feeling in the
north. There seemed to be a general
disposition everywhere to recognize
this final farewell of the south to its
dead leader as d matter of sentiment
deserving sympathy rather than criti-
ciSm.
1t is a hopeful sign to see the
The bitterness of the old days IS now
thing of the past, and its disappears

d new sOuth--giveS us a new republic
whose citizens rival one another in
loyalty under their common flag.
The notable events of the past few
days show that the American senti-
ment is driving out sectiOnaliSm. We
are one people, and northerners and
southerners respect each other all the
more for the loving honor in which
they hold their dead heroes.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
What the Warehousemen Have to Ss
About Prices, Etc.

Browns warehouse:-Our market
was dull last week for all grades ex-
cept wrappers and good sound filters
which were in demand at full prices.
While common and medium tobaccos
are low yet prices are fully up to or
higher here than on other markets.
We are advising our friends to hold
their tobacco for about thirty days,
as by that time McssrS. p. IL. Hanes
& Co. will have their old factory fitted
up, and Messrs. w. B. Ellis & Co.,
who also la>t most of their leaf by
the recent HE, will be on the market
and other stocks of leaf will be get
ting low.
Piedmont warehouse:-Prices now
on all strictly good tobacco are fairly
good, while common and medium
grades are still low and not likely to
improve. We expect good tobacco to
hold up well to present prices, but
look for no special advance. Would
advise planters to sell during the
month of June, if convenient.

IN Alabama. The sellers understand
The purpose to which tale land will be
put, and say that the neighbors will
probably offer no objections whatever
The rich men in the movement have
already pledged themselves to assist
financially in the purchase of land.
That is to say, they will advance the
money on long time notes. Ameri-
cans win not find the Mohammedans
to be beggars or charity-seekers, but
on the contrary, valuable WOrkmen in
many industries. Our plan has gone
so far as the preparation of plans for
the laying out of the towns and
farms"

acres of land in Georgia which he may
take and settle up with MusselmanS.
He predicts that within five years
there will be 5000 of them in the

A REDEEMING TRAIT.
Tobacco Said to be a Preventive of
Epidemics.

DR.. A. S. Atkinson, of Pittsburg,
Pa, says of tobacco as a preventive
of epidemics sit has been a notice
able fact that in times of great cpl
denies those working at tobacco fac
tories have been almost exempt from
the disease.
Experiments have now been made
which prove that the smoke of
tobacco on the micro-germs of dental
cavities is very beneficial.
Recent experiments were made with
tobacco smoke upon cholera bacilli,
and according to the strength of the
nicotine in.the cigars were the germs
destroyed or made harmless. The
same is true of anthrax and pneu-
monia.
All of the germs experimental with
were cultivated on gelantine substan.
ces, but in the human system there
would be some difference. Neverthe
less, in case of Asiatic cholera this
summer, one could do no harm in be
coming an inyeterate smoker for the
summer months.'' He also regards to
bacco as of use in fighting typhoid
fever and other diseases.
