A CARD.

Desiring no person to assume the
Responsibility of my acts, | wish to
say that ! am the man who wrote first
two WalkertOWn letters, the KcrnerS-
willie letter and the South Fork letter
which have given Mr.. McArther so
much trouble. | wrote them at the
request Of different parties who told
me Of the rumOrS aud reports just as
| gave them in the letters, Of the
truth OF which | knew nothing then
and know nothing now except what
was told, and Capt. GUslen had my
permission to disclose my name when
ever lie desired 10 do SO. But rs no
brave man ever acts under even the
shadow OF coercion, | take ii that the
manner ia which he was approached
by Mr.. hcArthur made him withhold
il.
These rumOrs are exactly on a line
with those about DeGfaI and DR..
league during the recent campaign
and whether they are given to the
press or not. MrATthW's acts will be
closely watched aud severely criticised
on account of the method OF his cam
palgn last fail.
Now there is Il word more that |
want to add in regard to what is re-
ported to have been said at the trial
which was in substance that the
Democratic officials would slap the
faces of all who CHOOSE to criticise
their acts.
There are some Republicans in this
county who do not carry their faces
about for that purpose and do not
enjoy that kind Of fun and viii state
what ] know to be the fact that the
fires of desperation and defiance are
SmOuldering in the misses at their
treatment last fall and if the Demo-
Gratis want to 20 into the face-slap-

welcome the issue and abide the re-
| suit

WINsTON's PRErrY HOMES.
a Recent Example of Our Local Home
Building


Communicated.
Winston has more than a local cele
brity for its pretty homes, with their
varied, beautiful design of architect
ure, and that of Mr.. L. j. Wilson,
recently completed on Cherry street,
adds another to the already long list
of handsome residences in this
city.
In the first place the location of Mr..
Wilson'S residence is delightful, and
then for comfort, convenience and
elegance, | have not seen a private
residence in the city that surpasSes it.
1t has all and perhaps even more than
the ordinary convenienceS to be found
in many modern homes these days,
such as Speaking-tu beS throughout
the house, baths, hot and cold water,
electric bells, letter-bOX, cedar closet,
for storing away furS and wOOlen
goods, snug pantries, closets and
plenty of broad space in the way of
delightful halls and verandas, and
each room-on the first floor, there are
four, consisting of parlOr, dining, sit
ting-roOm, one bedroom and kitchen,
and three bedrooms on the second
floor = is finished differently,
each appropriate and sugges-
tive of its purpose. The front hall
parlor, dining and sitting rooms es-
pecially, are exquisite. The artisti-
cally carved mantels. with their ele-
CANT plate-glass mirrors, was the work
of Mr.. .Regneaus, of Salem; the spiral
carving of the balustrade was done in
Boston, while the decorations, which
are exceedingly handsome, was done
by "Reuben Rink" of Kernersville
Mr.. Hill G. Linthicum, of Winston,
was the skilled architect.

REYNOLDS CARD.
the Democratic Party Not Concerned
in the Controversy.
To the Editor of the Sentinel.

To the Editor of the Sentinel
AS a Forsyth county Democrat I
would like to say through your paper
that the bombastic letter of Mr. c. a .
Reynolds does not strike terror to
anybody at all. Nothing has seer
said about Democrats going upon a
face-slapping tour, nor does anyone
but an egregious ass attempt to in
vOlve the Democratic party of the
county in the McArthur-Goslen street
fight. 1t would look more like the
brave man Mr.. Reynolds writes about
so facetiously had he addressed him
self to the party concerned, and not
saved himself "a slap in the face" by
disclaiming personal knowledge Of
what he published about Mr.. Near
thur, dealing in generalities, and
meanly sneaking behind what some
body told somebody that some one
else said. in order to throw the re-
sponsibility of "his acts" upon the
wide, wide world.
Everybody knows what a tucked
tail means; let the dog bark as loud

The Increased Insurance.

AS stated our insurance men
have received Instructions from
their companies to raise the rate Of
insurance 30 per cent. on all factories,
stores, etc, in their territory, pend
ing the issuance of :; new tariff by the
Southeastern Tariff Association. As
we understand it, this increase in
rates applies only to new business
that may be written, aud does not in
clude residences, churches, pubic and
school buildings, saw mills, &c. The
reason given for this raise III rates is
that the water supply of the city is
inadeQuate.

badly sprained one of her ankles, and
in consequence thereof she has. since
been unable to walk without assist

4 Terrible Fire.

FARGO, N. D., June 8.-One-half s. of
the town of Fargo was practically
destroyed by fire last night. The
railroad trestle, just in the town linn
its, is destroyed, in consequence of
which no trains are moving. Only
one of the city's banks escaped the
flames and every insurance office is
burned, hence no reliable estimate Of
the loss can be ascertained.
1t is thought, however, that it will
reach nearly three million dollars.
Six persons are supposed to have per
ished, and there are various unyeri-
fed rumors of accidents and casualties.
1t will be some hours before full par

UNEARTRING THE TREASURE.
Jewels and God Hidden by Order of

CITY OF MEXICO, June S.-A few
days ago some old and musty dOcu-
ments were found here by which it
was learned that treasure, consist
ing of Jewels and gold coin, amount
ing in value to $1,000, 600 is buried in
this city. The documents state that
the wealth was secreted by order of
Emperor MaXimilian. The discovery
of these documents produced sensa-
tiOn among those who were permitted
to share the secret, and preparations
were at once made for unearthing the
treasure The work of excavation
was begun, and in short time clay
vessel filed with gold powder was un-
earthed. Then came several pieces OF
silyerware. A depth of only a few
feet has been reached, the work hav-
ing been temporarily interrupted by Il
great flow of water into the cavity.
AS soon as the water can be shut out
or controlled, the work of excavation
will be resumed. There seems to be
no doubt about the documents being
genuine and it is believed that all Of
the great wealth will be unearthed.
