The Tobacco Journ ais Review for tn
Week Ending Aug. 11th.

The Tobacco JOurn ais Review for the
Week Ending Aug. 11th.
The receipts this week were not so
large as those of last week, but were
of good size for the time Of the year.
Some more unsound tobaccos were
among the offerings and made buyers
cautious. The odds and ends Of the
crop are showing up, and the breaks
as a whole were uninterestedly COM
mon. The low grades were knocked
out at about the usual figures, and de-
sirable stock there were some OF the
better sorts now and then on the
fioOrs) sold as high as ever.
In these parts everything is lively
with the growing crop. The weather
continues favorable. The outlook Is
for another story to tell in our weekly
reports Of the next fiscal year-that
OF good stock, plentiful and common
scarce.
Manufacturers are making fair ship
ments, little better than the first
few days of the month. They are
putting up supply of their excellent
and popular brands, and are preparing
for lively fall and winter business
which will no doubt materialiZe pro
vided the House and the Senate agree
to agree and pass the tariff bill.

Their Impressions of the State Demo
cratic.Convention.
The delegates from Winston to the
State Democratic Convention, held
Wednesday in Raleigh, express them
selves as being highly pleased with
the work of the convention. Here is
what they say:
Hon. r. B. Glenn says: 1.-THE mem
bers Of the State convention were the
finest looking, most intelligent, haI-
monious, and determined set Of men
[ ever saw together in my life. Every
one seemed to have the public veal at
heart and acted with one accord.
There was not a man who was not con-
fldent of grand triumph in the No
er attended a convention that imss
pressed me more favorably and gave
promise of more certain victory than
did this one."
Clement Manly: "The personnel of
the convention was the finest 1 have
ever seen any where. All seemed to
bend their energies to obtaining the
best results for the harmony of the
party; and the attaining of middle
stand united. There we're some VIII o
did not agree with every position ta-
ken by the convention but minorities
yielded gracefully and heartily to the
wishes OF the majorities. The con-
yention was inspiring and did much
to strengthen the cords of party
unity"
Hon. E. B. Jones: "In the conven-
tion was impressed with the spirit
of unanimity and determined conf
dence in great victory in the coming
election. The delegates were fine

Hon. G. B. Watson: "It was a rep

vailed. am pleased with the plat

Hon. J. G. Buxton: The delegates
were a splendid body of men. Almost
all counties were represented. Every
one seemed confident that their sec

majorities in the fall election. Tht

stiuopposed to Fusion

!. Editor Goslen, of the Republican,
'sticks to 1t" that fusion between the
Grads" and Pops" is not the proper
thing to do. He says:
The question to be decided by Re
publicans Is whether cooperation, or
coalition, or whatever name may be
given the combination, is practicable
or possible under the circumstances;
indeed, whether desirable? Speaking
for the Piedmont and Central sections
of the State, The Republican knows
the Republican masses are opposed to
it. .They,are Republicans from prin-
ciple. They believe in straight fight
every time. They have faith In the
.sold flag" and will never surrender.
Oyerpowered by superior numbers
they may be, but surrender-never.
Whenever State convention asks Re
publicans to vote for Democrats, Re
publicans so asked will want the
privilege of choosing the Democrat.

COndition-20 Inmates.

The Grand Jury for this term of
court completed their work, filed their
report with His Honor, and were dis
missed Friday afternoon. The report
says:
We visited the Jail in body and
made an examination of the same.
We found it in good condition and
well kept. The inmates.thereof report
good treatment. A committee of five
visited the Home for the Aged an In
firm and found 30 inmates who report
ed that they were well cared for. The
buildings and premises are neat and
clean. We recommend that new
floor be put in the diningrOom Of the
colored department and that the front
porch of one Of the houses be repaired,
and a new SmOke-hOuse be built. We
advise that lime be used about the in
sane department. A. E. SHORE,

Paid BEFORE He Did the Work.

A negro called at a certain house In
this city recently and begged for some
food and wanted to dc. some odd jobs
as compensation. The lady of the
house told him to go out and saw
some wood. The fellow asked that he
be given his meal first as he was al
most famished. This was done and
the negro went to the wood pile and
lifting his hat and bowling hts re-
spects to the lady of the house, he
took his departure-noth having sawed
q single stick. The lady of the house
realizes that she played the part Of q
bad pay-mistress, but promises her.
self that she won't do 30 any more. y

STARBUCK AND MOTT.
FORMER FOR JUDGE AND LAT
TER FOR SOLICITOR.
Both Reynolds and Wheeler Factions
Admitted to Membership'-Mr.
Starbuck Was Not q Candidate.


From Daily Sentinel, Aug. 1O.l
Messrs. J. w. Goslen, J. F. Rey-
nolds and J. p. Staunton, of the Rey-
nolds faction; A. L. Stipe, H. L.
Shore and p. T. Lehman, Of the
Wheeler ewing" returned last evening
from the Republican Judicial Con-
vention which met and adjourned at
Wilkesboro yesterday.
The Wheeler representatives were
elated over their victory in the nomi-
nation OF Mott for Solicitor. The
other delegates did not wear such
broad smiles on their faces. However
they console themselves over the
nomination of Mr.. HI. R. Starbuck for
Judge.
Both nominations, say the delGates,
were made by acclamation. Dula,
Motifs opponent, withdrew from the
race after he saw there was no chance
for his nomination. Mr.. Starbuck
had no opposition.
The candidate for Judge is a men,
Der of the law firm of Eller & Star
buck, this city, and is one of Win
ston's most popular young men. He
is son Of the late Judge Starbuck
and is about 26 years old. He did not
seek the nomination, in fact 1T is
learned that he protested against his
name going before the convention.
His Democratic friends land they are
many regret to know that such a
clever young lawyer must be ''slaught-
cred" in tue November election. He
has never made more than two politi-
cal speeches in his life but his party
will not be satisfied if he does not go
on the stump this fall and battle for
the cause he represents. Whether he
and the Democratic candidate will
enter into joint debates remains to be
seen.
A member of the Reynolds faction,
when asked last night which faction
voted in the convention, replied that
both were admitted to membership"
Be it understood, however, there was
no ''kissing and making up"
1t is known fact that the nomina-
tion of Mott for Solicitor Is anything
but pleasing to Charley Reynolds and
his followers Charley says that it is
too well-known, both by Democrats
and Republicans, that Mott voted for
a negro for chairman of the State Re
publican executive committee, a few
years ago, in preference to A. E. Hol-
ton, Of Yadkin.

Three Stokes County Blockaders
Wounded-Big Revenue Raid.
From Daily Sentinel, Aug. 81
Revenue Officer VanderfOrd and
several of his men arrived here this
morning from Stokes county where
they made three raids yesterday on
blockaders, near the Virginia line.
The revenue men, nineteen IN num-
ber, were led by their 'chief," w. L.
Pitts, and there was "trouble in the
camp" before their work was com
pleted.
At Cardwell's distillery, the block
aders fired upon the "revenuers" and
one ball took effect, in the hip Of Wi
| ley Lewis, of WilkesbOro. The wound
is quite painful hut his associates
hope that 1t will not prove serious.
After leaving the distillery the OFF,
GERS learned that in returning the fire
| they shot three blockaders, but did
! not learn the names of the men re-
| ported to be wounded.
/ Three distilleriea were captured and
cut up. They belonged to John Tay-
lOr, pMartin and Stovall. About
3, 200l gallons of beer and about 10
gallons of whiskey were also captured.
The officers say that they CLEANED
up all the blockade distilleries they
had any information of in Stokes.

A letter received from DR.. Lash,

West, while not written for puolica-
tion, contains some interesting items,
which we take the liberty of using.
His letter is dated from Spokane,
Wash, where he met Pat Winston,
who is known throughout North
Carolina. The Doctor says Pat loves
North Carolina and everybody in the
State, and has shown them every
attention.

enteen cents bushel, costing thirty
cents to raise 1t.

A Gard From Mr.. Bickett.
To the Editors of the Sentinel

To the Editors of the SentineI.
In your issue of the 9th inst, | am
reported as saying, at the Pilot Noun
tain Association, that while reading
law at the University | heard a prom
inent member of the faculty declare
that there was no room or need in the
State for Wake Forest, Trinity, Da-
wilson, or any college other than the
University-to which all public
schools and academies should feed
U.s."
1t is due myself to say that this is a
mistake. The remark was in effect
made by DR.. WinhOm except, as | re-
member, he said trustee" instead of
''member of faculty."
What | did say was that while read
ing law at the University | heard the
president of that institution say that
Wake Forest had done more for the
education Of the masses in North
Carolina within the last twenty years
than any other institution in the
State. That it had reached and edu-
Gated class of people whom the Uni
versitY did not and could not reach.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. An appeal
for the drOught-stricken portion of
Nebraska, signed by committee
claiming to represent large interests,
has been sent to the Governor. 1t
recites that the committee has just
returned from an extended visit
through the section through which
the hot winds destroyed crops. The

to believe from all it has been told
that thousands of families "either
starve, emigrate or be fed by charity,

A MISSIONARY IN JAPAN.
The Rev. A. II. Morgan Writes of the
BEGINNING Of the War.

Rev. DR.. F. T. Tagg, editor Of the
Baltimore Methodist Protestant, has
received letter from Rev. A. r. Nor
gan, who left Guilford county, n. c.,
a few years ago for japan. He now
has charge of the Methodist Protest
ant Missions in that foreign field. He
is well-known in Winston, having
preached here several times before
leaving for his missionary work. His
letter is dated Nagoya, Japan, July
I4th, and refers to the war then ap-
preaching. Mr.. Morgan says:
The war talk began with one OF the
periodical attempts at revolution, or,
rather, insurrection, in Corea, for
which that little "hermit kingdom"
is growing famous. The people OF one
or two provinces over there rose
against their miserable rulers and
made quite a stir. 1t was reported
that they were marching on the capi-
tai, Seoul. China and Japan both has
tened to send troops. China seems to
claim Corea as d sort of a dependency,
while Japan fears that the occupancy
of Corea by foreign power would be
detrimental to her peace, and she
claims to be cOntending for the inde-
pendence of Corea. Perhaps the whole
diplomatic reasons nave not yet Oeen
given to the public. However that
may be, 1t seems that in one respect,
at least, the trouble in Corea Is OppOr-
tune. Just as things were getting
pretty warm politically this trouble
has occurred, to attract the attention
OF the nation, and the Government
has, for that, or some other reason,
seized upon the opportunity with a
promptness that has surprised not a
few. In the shortest possible time
she had landed 10, 900 soldiers in COrea.
The present war clouds may pass
away quickly, and the sky soon be-
come clear But with Japan's present
preparation for war and the ambition
to fight, fostered by a large and influ-
entail section of the nation, continued
peace hardly seems possible. Japan
ceund hardly be true to her traditions
of the past, to which she has recently
reverted with so much ardor, and not
draw blood occasionally. Whether
Providence will use the warlike prep
aratiOns and the ambition and heroic
spirit of this people to break up that
mass OF human inertia within the
borders of China, and SO let in the
light OF truth, or whether the dial Of
Japan's progress is to be turned back,
God only knows, and the friends Of
both of those great empires can only
pray and wait and hope for the best.

o the Editors of the Sentinel |

To the Editors of the Sentinel.l
| have a letter written from Month
cello May 2Sth, 1875, by Thomas
Jefferson-99 years, 2 months and 10
days ago.
1t is his own writing and lis page
of cap paper. The paper is somewhat
mutilated. 1t is written in a clear,
open hand and can very easily be
read.
This letter, and others, were kept
many years by my father. He died in
1855, after which my brother, Thomas
Jefferson, kept this until he died, in
1893. Since then | have kept this
relic. Perhaps this is the oldest
hand-written letter that can be found
outside of public archives.
Now as | am the only surviving
member of my fathers family, and
| none other to bear his name, l think
/ shall send the relic to the Uni
versity Of Virginia.
