WARNING DRUIDS.
Accusations Made Against
the Secretary.
Are the Funds of DruidS' Hall Asso.
citation Missing ?~Mr. Knars-
ton Denies 1t.
Trouble is brewing in the ancient and

Trouble is brewing in the ancient and
mystic order Of Druids
Charges and counter charges have been
made, and an investigation commenced.
Funds are missing, it is said, and the man
who is responsible for the funds Of the
order declares himself traduced and
calumnled.
His name is John II. KnarstoH. He is
one OF the oldest printers in town. and has
been secretary of the society for many
years. He is now in the hands OF his enc
mics, he says, who have determined to
wrong him.
On August 16 last the investigation into
the records and books Of the society was
commenced and the secretary called upon
for his books.
Il readily gave them all the books in
my possession" says Knarston, "and the
only important volume Withheld from
them was that containing the cash ac-
count from February, 1889. when L be-
came secretary, to August, 1891. This L
could not give them, for 1t was In posses
sion of the janit0r, who had placed iG
under lock ana key. The jantOr is now
is about again the books Will be forth
coming.
ION the investig atiug committee are J.
c. Bernstein and l.. q. Shord. They claim
20 have 1ouOQ discrepancies IN my &C
counts and TO have discovered eTaSuTeS
and false entries IN my books. Now, l
can say truthfully that there Is nothing
in all my accounts or my dealings with the
society that will not stand the most search
ing light.
Instead of asking me TO explain any
thing they might II OF understand or giving
ME chance to defend myself from tina
charges. these men have rushed off intfs
print and made accusations against FL .
that cannot he sustained. 81
Last month L went off on yachtinpk
trip and balanced my books up to the dateY
of my departure. The books themselysS
show that some money is owing TO ,the
DTuids' Hall Association. l had not col
lected lt yet, and so, of course, could not
credit it as cash received. This sum that
is still due the association is what this COM
mittee of three-tw0 OF whom are my en-
emieS-have accused me of msusng. All
the charges are of the same character. /
am ready at all times TO explain away
every one of their accusations and to show
that strict account has been rendered of
every penny that has passed through my
hands"
The investigating committee itself claims
that Knarston's books are in badly mud
died condition, and that they show appar-
ent shortages IN the cash account of from
500 to $500. This deficiency, says The
committee, is traced to the account of lodges
aud societies that have held permanent
rentals OF rooms in Druid's Han, 413 SUIT
ter street.
The committee will probably make q
partial report of the matter to the associa-
ton ct its meeting this evening

TIL E COLL ECTORSHIP.
PROBABLE THAT MIR. BUXTON
WILL SUCCEED ELIAS.
Mr.. NJ. I'll Pinnix Will Probably Aspire
for Ropes Slace-A Talk> With Mr..
Buxton-What He Saws

Mr.. j. Q. Buxton was seen Monday by
SENTINEL representative. He said
he knew no more than anybody else
about the mention of his name in the
Washington correspondence of the
Charlotte Observer, as a probable sue
c,ssor to Kope Elias whose resigna-
tioh as Collector is expected.
Mr.. Buxton has no desire to place
himself in the attitude of candidate
for the place, and he will do nothing
while matters remain as they are.
Mr.. NJ. Fl, Pinnix, of Lexingt on,
will probably aspire for Hopes place
and hiS~chances would be second only
to Mr.. Buxtol's. Both Messrs. Bux-
ton and Pink are friends of both
Senators from this State, and it
would appear that the winner would
be the one whose friend shall be
the most vigilant. Senator Vance
long ago gave up the hopes of having
his own selection for the Office, and
his desire to have Mr.. Gudger get the
office was met by Senator Ransom's
open hostility to Gudger. 1t is
thought now that Senator Vance only
asks that Elias successor may be one
who is agreeable to him. Very strong
influence will back Mr.. Buxton should
he enter the contest, and he is not
averse to Gliding the Office.

STOKES STRINGS.
No Big Hogs to Brae on But Plenty of
Big Fools.

Big Fools.
Correspondence of the Sentinel.J
DILLARD, NC, Nov. Give have
been having cool, crisp weather for
several days, and those of our people
who are lucky enough to have any
hogs, are beginning to slaughter
them, but am sorry to say that the
hog raising business has been woful-
ly neglectedin Stokes as well as other
sections, many families having none,
and depending on tobacco to buy
their meat. How long will it be
until Jesse Holmes comes along and
makes an example of a few fools, in
order that we may profit by their
example? We have no big hogs to
brag on, but plenty of big fools en-
gagged largely in raising tobacco to
buy fertilizer, meat and nearly every
thing they use with at an average of
about 4 or 5 cents a pound for to-
bacco.
Mrs. Matte Reed, wife of j. B.
Reed, died near here on the Oath
inst. She was daughter of Jesse
and NJ. j. Duncan and was aged
about 20 years She leaves a sor-
rowing husband and two small
children besides a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn their
loss Rec PORTER.

William Sawyer's wife. One day last
week, while alone and unprotected at
her home, colored man presented
himself and peremptorily demanded
something to eat. says the Leaksville

for him. He then picked up an axe
and threatened to kill her if she did
not find food for him. The woman
procured pistol, and when the negro
advanced toward her, she shot him in
the left side. The result of the wound
is not known, but it's immediate effect
was to spoil the negrs's appetite. He
laid the axe down, and pressing his
hand to the wound quickly went
