NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
Christian Endeavorers EpwOrth
League; Baptist Young People.

A call is being circulated for State
mass-meeting to be held in Indian
apolis, Ind, to organize good citizen
ship political party. The Christian
Endeayor Society, with its $4,000
members; the Epworth League, with
it's 10000 members, and the Baptist
Young Peoples Society, with, per
haps, 10000 members, have recently
gone into the movement.
The effort of the party will be to Sc
cure persons independent in politics
who are willing to fight every saloon
man that may be nominated on any
ticket of d regular party. That the
party will overwhelm and swallow up
the Prohibition party is not doubted.
1t is also believed that the Catholic
church, with all it's societies, will be
brought in unison with Protestants
on this question, as it is in direct &C
cord with the proclamation of Bishop
Watterson against Catholics in the
saloon traffic.

Calf That Swallowed an Adder.

From the Westminster Gazette.
A fine calf belonging to Mr.. Thomas
Sage, of Chawleigh, Devon, was taken
suddenly ill day or two ago. 1t was
in great pain and could scarcely
breathe. A veterinary surgeon dosed
it, believing it to be suffering from
Inflammation. On being released 1t
commenced coughing and vomiting,
and, to the establishment of Those
present, elected a large adder measui-
ing over d foot in length. The reptile
was dead, but it's expulsion gave in
slant relief to the poor sufferer,
which in a few minutes recovered.
Apparently a small quantity of grass
had previously been cut for the calf
and placed in a heap, in which the adj
der must have been concealed before
being swallowed.

Collector Carter Must Recommend
The Present Situation.
1t now appears that the matter of
removal of the revenue stamp office
here to more commodious quarters
depends entirely on the recommends
tion of Collector Carter, at Asheville.
Winston's stamp clerk, r. S. Gallo
way, returned last Tuesday from
Asheville and Informed a SENTINEL
reporter that Collector Carter had
been instructed by the Washington
authorities to investigate the situa-
tion and ascertain the cost of removal
and recommend whether or not the
office can afford the increased expense.
Mr.. Galloway says that Collector
Carter assured him that the matter
would be settled at an early date
1t is quite probable that Collector
Carriers recommendation will favor a
removal.

THE DANVILLE MARKET.
The Registers Review of the We k
Ending Aug. 25th.

The loose leaf tobacco market for
the week ending Saturday showed
some animation at the beginning of
the week, the occasion being some
fresh wagOned tobacco put on the
warehouse floors. The market, how
ever, became dull and droopy as the
week advanced, owing to the stocks
offered being rehandled and funked
goods.
A small supply of wrappers again
showed up, but those offered were
quickly gobbled up at good figures.
There was a very moderate supply of
filters, both good and medium, and
the tone of the market was somewhat
easier. Desirable colory goods of the
cutter type were scarce, and prices for
this class of tobacco were fully main
tanned. There was large supply of
the common and dog-tail types, and
the markets for these grades were
still firm.
The receipts for the week were
quite large, the sales reaching nearly
500, 900 pounds more than for the anne
week last year. The sales at the elev-
en- loose leaf warehouses fer the week
amounted to 658, 522 pounds. Manu-
facturers had smaller week than
the week before last, the aggregate
shipment of plug and twist amount
ing to leo, 900 pounds.
The daily sales of revenue stamps
aggregated Sc, 049 SO.
