The following extracts are taken
from a private latter written to Mr..

hands were sorry not to stop at Jaffa,
as we could have been in Jerusalem
on Easter day; and now / won't see it
this cruise. We were in Beirut too
short a time to make the trip to
Damascus, as it is fifty-seven miles.
A railroad is in process of construction
and when finished will make the trip
quite easy. Not far inland from
Beirut are the ruins of Baalbec,
ancient Helioplis, and they are much
grander tfan any of the ruins at
Rome and in much better state of
preservation. Temples are standing
intact, with Only the roof fallen in
and rows upon rows of mighty col
umns; everything is On such grand
scale. Some Of the single blocks of
stone used in the buildings are larger
than Pullman sleeping car and it is
perfectly marvellous that they could

by the Phoenicians and finished by
Rome.

stallion, to see some stone Inscriptions

Beirut is rather pretty from the
water, but is made up of narrow and
dirty streets like all Turkish towns.

Another Find.

From the Greensboro Record.
Gen Greene or Lord CORVALLIS cut
a road running northeast and south
west beginning about a mile north
of the McQuiston bridge over Reedy
Fork and running north of Gethsem
ane church.
The road, of course, long since dis
used, can be easily identified though
trees of considerable size have grown
up in it. Three years ago a clearing
was made of a part of this road
two crops of tobacco were planted
and last year a corn crop. In work
ing the crop last year an old coin of
the time of George IL, was dug up.
1t was evidently lost by some soldier
in February or March, 1871. The
coin was purchased from the finder
| by Col. Morehead.

The Ministers of Lexington, KY, Unite
Against Him.
LEXINGTON, KY, May 4.-The
preachers of Lexington have united in
their fight against Col. Breckinridge's
denomination. The Ministerial Union
of this city has adopted the follow
ing:
'"The Ministerial Union of Lexing-
ton, KY, deems it a duty of conscience
in the fear of God to bear the follow
ing public testimony against the re-
nomination or reelection of our pres
ent Representative in the Congress of
the United States. On the witness
stand in the court room he has con-
fessed that for years he has INDUCED
in course of adultry and hypocrisy,
and in the light of such confession
we regard his canvass for renomina-
tion and reelection, first, as an open
defiance of all personal chastity,
domestic purity, and religious integri-
ty; second, as an appeal to voters to
ignore personal morality when choos-
ing Political candidates; third, as a
corrupt and corrupting misrepresenta-
tion of the social order of our commu-
nifty; fourth, as debauching example
to youth; fifth, as in every way peril
to truth and righteousness.

what EAST salom Wants.

The citizens of East Salem want
public school building, and with that
end in view subscription is being
circulated asking for aid in the erec-
tiOn of a suitable house in that por-
tion of the town. 1t is the intention
to secure as large an amount as pos
sible and then present the same to
the County Board of Education pray
ing that they will take the matter in
hand and look after the erection or
the building. The distance to the
West Salem school is the chief incen-
tive for the request, and many chill
dren, during the winter season, are
not enabled to embrace the facilities
| in consequence.

KILLED HIS SISTER.
A Horrible Double Murder i'm Graham
COunty,

COuHty.
A terrible murder occurred a few
days ago in Graham county. Bill
Grant, who was under the influence of
whiskey, went down to his brother
in-law's home and proceeded to abuse
everybody and make things lively
generally. Spence Hill, who was at
the house, was abused, and finally
Grant commenced using his Ninches-
ter rifle as club on Hills head. 1t
was only after repeated efforts that he
was pulled off Hill, who was beaten
almost into jelly. He will probably
die.
Grant started to leave Carringer's
house, when his wife, who is Grants
sister, told him to shoot Grant. Car
ringer got his gun and shot Grant in
the back, inflicting a mortal wound.
Grant then turned and shot at Car
ringer, but missed him and shot his
sister in the head, killing her instant
ly. In about fifteen minutes after
shooting his sister, Graft died.
Carringer is under arrest at Rob
binville. The murdered man and his

Music by the Locusts.

People from the country say that
the seventeen-year iocusts are filling
the woods with their music. Going
through some places it is difficult
to hear ones voice. The ground is
alive with the young fellows who are
coming to life every day and helping
to swell the chorus. Hogs, dogs,
chickens and turkeys are growing fat
on these young locusts, which are eag-
erly sought in the holes in the ground.
One gentleman in Guilford county
says his dog has become so fat from
eating them that he is of no earthly
use.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKs.T.
The Tobacco Journ ais Review for the
Week Ending May 9TH.

Sales have not been large on the
Winstonieaf market this week. One
or two days there were fair sized
breaks, a circus in town being an ex-
ira attraction and calling Forth un-
usual efforts on the part of the farm
ers. The offerings showed the old
monOtOnOuS preponderance OF common
goods, with prices stiff and good de-
mand.
The month of April on the whole
has been dull one, and the quantity
of tobacco sold on our warehouse
floors was considerably less than that
sold here the same month of 1893. The
decrease il the seasons receipts is now
about million and half pounds.
However the farmers have yet good
part of their crop on hand, which
they will market more lively as soon
as weather conditions are favorable,
and it is thought before the coming of
October 1st, the shortage will be very
nearly if not entirely made up.
During April the sales of stamps at
the internal revenue office here
amounted to $50, ,544.55. For the same
month last year the amount was $44,-
765. .63, showing an increase OF S., 1882.
This is the best April business done
in Winston since 1890. There were
S42, 626 pounds of manufactured tObac-
co shipped from this point during the
month, against ,094 for the same
month in 1898; gain of nearly 100000
pounds.
The stamp sales for the first four
months of 1891 amounted to $253, ,622.-
IA; for the same period last year, S241,-
$40 81. The increase for 1894 is S11,-
78l77.
May opens up encouragingly. The
manufacturing season is getting off
nicely, and there will be great deal
of work done before the advent of
cold weather, il Congress will speed
the passage of the tariff bill and al
low the business world to get It's bear
ing and move with some certainty and
courage once more. Shipments for the
week were good, and satisfactory col
lectionS are being made.

GOLD FLOWING TO EUROPE.
Expected that Shipments Will Reach
$5,OOO,OOO or More.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Disquieting
news was received at the Treasury
from New York concerning gold ex-
portations. Rates of foreign exchange
continue high and firm and in conse-
quence large shipments are looked for.
The reports are that at least S., ,0O0, 900
will he withdrawn for shipment from
New York tomorrow, with the prOba
bilities that this amount will be
greatly exceeded.
These shipments alone will reduce
the gold reserve to about $92, 900, 900.
OF course the gold withdrs walls do not
diminish our cash resources. On the
contrary, as United States and Treas
ury notes are given in exchange for
the gold, each withdrawal adds SO
much to the Treacury available cash
balance
