ABOX OF RENCH CANDY.
Th at is the Prize offered by Principal
j. III, CIeweI.

j. III, CIeweI.
Principal Clewell has made bar
gain with the pupils of the Salem
Academy that promises to prove quite
costly when the day of settling up
arrives.
A few days ago he made a PROPOSE
tion to the pupils that he would give
that would walk two miles each day
until April first. About $50 of the
''fair damsels'' accepted the offer and
every afternoon new that number can
be seen out on tramp. They neces-
sarily have to go, too, on double-quick
time, as the contract says that they
must average a mile in fifteen min
utes When the weather is fair the
exercise is taken in the open air, 9TH
erWise in the gymnasium hall.
This is quite a novel but unique
plan, and notwithstanding it will re-
suit quite extensively to the Principal,
nevertheless he is well pleased with it.
He says that it gives the walkers"
rosy cheeks and is proving one of the
most healthful exercises ever adopted.
The young ladies, too, are delighted
with the plan and the indications are
that Prof. Clewell will have to distrib
ute $50 boxes of candy the first of
April.
THE SENTINEL is glad to learn that
the health of the pupils is exception
ally good. Be it said to the credit of
the institution, there has not been d
single case of protracted illness since
the opening of the session last Sep
TENDER. In fact it is now considered
a rare thing to even find girl in the
sick room.

BURNED TO DEATH.
A Young Lady Badly Burned and
Dies of Her Injuries.

Miss Annie, daughter of Mr.. Thos.
Pettis, of Middle Fork Township, was
so badly burned on Saturday that she
died from the effects CT her injuries on
Sunday.
About 10 o'clock on Saturday the
young lady was standing in front of
the fire with her back to the open
fireplace, when her clothing became
ignited and were in blaze before she
discovered it. Her screams quickly
brought her father to her rescue, who
endeavored to smother the flames by
Unfolding his daughter in quilts and
blankets, but she was so excited and
kept moving about so that the flames
could not be effectually extinguished.
Two or three buckets of water were
also thrown upon the young lady, but
before the fire could be put out she
was so badly burned that she died
about 2 O'Clock on Sunday, suffering
excruciatingly until death relieved
her sufferings.
Miss Annie was about fifteen years
of age. Her remains were inferred at
Loves burying ground.

A GRAND SUCCESS
Is the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, Gam
and Ind usI riaI Fair.

NEW BERN, n. c., Feb. 21.-The
East Carolina Fish, Oyster, Game and
Industrial Association was formally
opened this morning. The exercises
began by grand civic parade, partic-
ipated in by all of the local and indus
trial organizations of the city, con
Guiding at the Fair Ground by an
excellent and patriotic speech from
the Hon. James A. Bryan, one of
New, Berns most distinguished and
loyal icitizens. Everything indicates
one of the most successful Fairs the
Association has ever held. The ex-
hibit is perfect in every department,
and is as artistic in its arrangement
and as attractive as the hands of ge-
MUS could make it.
The city is full of strangers and
each hour the number is being aug
mented by private conveyances and
the regular train, which comes crowd
ed. Everyone finds here warm well
come, for the genial heart of hospital
ity thrObS in every BOSOM.
The fair is an institution in which
all the citizens take special pride and
jointly labor for it's success. This
being true, shall we wonder that it
has grown so worthy of this classic
city on the Trent-this modern Ath-
ems, the home of culture and patriot
ism.
The races promise to be fine all the
week, while the program is so arrang-
ed as to furnish ample attractions for
each day. Come and have good
time. 10. E.

SERMON TO THE JR. o. U. A. M.
DIR. Broughton Expresses His Views
on the Clark Trial.

u -. D.. "A. VI.
DIR. Broughton Expresses His Views
on the Clark Trial.
At the Broad Street Baptist church
Sunday morning DR.. Broughton de-
livered the annual sermon to the Jun
ior Order CT American Mechanics.
The text was from Psalms 119: los.
The discourse was very able one and
number of glowing tributes were
paid to the noble objects of the order,
the principles of which were the pro-
lection of the American government
from Objectionable immigration, the
fostering of public schools and
protection of the Protestant Bible.
At night every available seat in the
auditorium and gallery was occupied
and chairs had to be placed in the
aiSleS to accommodate the crowd in
attendance to hear the sermon on the
sixth commandment.
In the course of his remarks DIR.
Br6ughton referred to the recent trial
of j. Il. Clark for the murder of Rev.
Mr.. Moffett at Danville, declaring
that the action of the court in placing
so light sentence upon the murderer
was disgrace to the court and cry
ing shame upon the State of Virginia
DIR. Broughton discussed murders
under a number of heads, among
which were infanticide, attributable
to the carelessness of mothers, sell
murder in modern social circles. He
was especially hard on the excessive
use of whale bone and steel by ladies
showing that it caused premature
deaths which in such case was in it
self form of self-murder.
DR.. Broughton stated that he would
preach on the seventh commandment
next Sunday night.

OLD CHEAP JOHNS REPLY.
He Scores Merchant" en- His Commu
nication of Last Week.

To the Editor of The Sentinel.1
Replying to the very personal article
in your last weeks issue, headed "a
Growing Nuisance" and signed "Mer-
chant" / will say that this great phil
anthropist, who cares so little about
his own interests and so much about
that of the farmer, deserves a monu-
ment to lis memory, when he dies
which should be very soon.
There is no doubt that Cheap John
has proven quite a nuisance to this
poor merchant" whose appetite for
profits or inability 10 steal his goods
las he intimates I do) will not allow
him to compete with Cheap Johns
prices and hence he dips his arrow in
to the bitter gall of jealousy, and
casts it at Cheap John. 1t is not my
purpose to deny the fact that my
house is nightly crowded to overflow
Tag with farmers who visit our town, "
but l think ] can safely say that these
honeSt-hcarted sons of toll will never
crowd his store TO such an extent as
| to prevclt '.i:3ac's passing his place.
Now, this is not as it should be, y
| he declares, because the sound of their
| voices CRATES harshly on his sensabili-
| tics-it's disgusting to him because
Cheap John is doing business while
J he is not. Poor fool, why doesn't he
| go to stealing and make an honest
| living?
He has so much sympathy for the
| 'poor ignorant farmers''-as he terms
/ them-that / am really afraid he will
| die some of these days from enlarge
ment of the heart. But, however ig-
| are still too intelligent to pay hin
one hundred per cent. profit
on the goods he does not steal
| while they can buy them at CheaI
| Johns prices, and he may therefore
4 expect second stroke of paralysis
| soon.
As to taxes, desire to state for thi:
| merchants benefit that Old .CheaI
John is the only merchant in Winston
that pays his regular taxes and hun
| bred dollars special tax for the priv
lege of underselling competition.
/ don't know how much it costs thi
gentleman to live, but if he compare

where great many of the sspoor igno

from. And if he will analyze them
little he nwill probably see that tn

them in their determination to bu

GIVE WINSTON "A HOTEL.
What the Southern Tobacco Journal
Has TO Say ON the Subject.


Has TO Say on the Subject.
THE DAILY SENTINEL of the city
has been doing sor1e good work re-
Gently in advocating the erection of a
commercial hotel in Winston at once
and the 1urnal cannot refrain from
giving its hearty endorsement to this
matter. We know from personal
knowledge that the lack Of hotel ia
cilities here is doing our city much
harm and our mOnied people, eSpe-
cially the tobacco men, stand in their
own light by not taking this subjet
under serious consideration. Winston
abroad has a fair name for pluck and
enterprise and rapid growth. Her en-
terprise has won the appreciation of
people every where. But with all this
our city is today losing prestige De-
cause of the lack of hotel accommoda-
tionS. Roanoke with about an equal
population has four or five well kept
and costly hotels and Winston with
practically none. 1t looks as if we
did not care for visitors here. Hotel
keepers in nearby towns are using our
misfortune in this matter to our det-
riment and their benefit.
1t is the work of the Chamber of
Commerce to look after the city'S
wants. When a paid fire department
was a,bare necessity the Chamber took
steps and secured it. Now let the
Chamber Go the same thing for no.
tel. Let meeting be called. let the
matter be thoroughly discussed and
we believe there is plenty of idle mon
ey here which can be induced into this
much needed project.

ried down the angry stream. Another

stands fills the contract as made be-
