TWO OF EN- SAID SO.
Charlie Reynolds to the Contrary,
Notwithstanding.

/
| To the Editors of the Sentinell
MY attention was called on Saturday
to short piece in your paper, in which
You say, If any trouble occurs in this
| county, Reynolds Bros. will be respon-
sible for it, and that a prominent Re
publican has made such statements to
you, sc. No Republican has said this
to you, and you do not dare to name
the man who says it. There have been
lot of ours yelping on my track, ever
since / have been in this county, who
seek by insinuation, by innuendo and
by indefinite remarks to create i'm
pressions about me that they have not
the manhood to come out and state
and take the responsibility for.
Fearing trouble, 1 wrote an open
letter to the business men of Winston,
in last weeks Republican, asking them
to join with the Republicans in hav-
ing all challenges tried before the day
chairman of the Democratic Commit
tee to help me do this, SO there should
be no friction nor hard feeling on
election day. Suppose every illegal
voters name is stricken from the hook
before election In this way, don't you
know that better state of feeling
will prevail than if men are delayed
and hindered either by being chal-
lenged or by waiting to have some
other challenge settled, and l say now
if a voter is challenged he cannot be
made to leave the polls, legally, until
that challenge is settled and his vote
is taken or rejected, and finally to be
deprived Of the right to vote at all by
the sun setting and the window being
closed. And now l ask through your
columns that the good people OF Win
ston will aid us in having these mat
tiers settled before the day of election.
Respectfully,
Q. A. REYNOLDS.
In reply to Mr.. Reynolds insinua-
tiOn that THE SENTINEL made a false
statement, we reiterate that what we
said was founded, as stated, upon the
opinion expressed to US by a Republic
can, whose name may be given if nee
essary. Moreover, after the article
was published, another Republican

sition of the Republican whose opin-
ion we quoted

Y M. G. A. CONFERENCE.
HELD AT OAK RIDGE INSTITUTE
LAST WEEK.
Great Spiritual Good Derived From
the SesSiOnsEThc Addresses
Were All Good.

To the Editors of The Sentinel
AS one of the delegates to the Y. M
@. A. District Conference, held at Oal
Ridge, it affords me pleasure to testi
fy to the great spiritual good DERIVED
from the sessions CT the Conference
and also to the excellent entertain
ment given US by the citizens of that
village. Those attending the opening
session on Friday night were fortu-
nate in hearing the splendid address
of Rev. Egbert w. Smith, of Green's
boro, on the "Oracles of God. The
source of our Wisdom and Strength. :"
| No Christian could listen at such an
| address without being greatly edited
and impressed with strong desire to
know more of Gods word.
Saturdays sessions were well at
tended and Dteresting-the papers
and addresses being generally good
and elected discussion that will result
in good to the whole district. Sunday,
however, was the browning day, COM
mencing with the conservation SCI vice
at $50 q. M, led by L. A. Coulter, our
efficient State Secretary. Those in
attendance pronounced it the best
meeting of the Conference and the
writer can Truly Say lie never eHJOyeu
religious service more. Services
were held at II, conducted by L. A.
Coulter and three others. At p. m.
the ladies held PRAYER meeting for
the success of our meetings, while Mr..
Coulter gave an address in the College
Chapel on the 'Chains that Bind"
Only those who have heard this ad-
dress can appreciate it's great value to
young men. The direct results Of
these services were that three young
men were led to Christ and four were
reclaimed.
All were greatly disappointed that
our esteemd Secretary, A. B. Paul,
could not be with US and we missed
his counsel and helpfulness in our ses-
sioGs. The addresses on the program
we're all pronounced good, but Prof.
MartiL Fl. Hollis on Fifty Years of
History and a Prophecy" was specially
complimented. The Professor and
his brother, Prof. Allen Holt, are con-
Quoting a successful school at Oak
Ridge. The large number of students
in attendance showing the high ap-
probation of it's merits.
The delegates were well pleased
with the universal kindness an d
courtesy shown them and will cherish
the remembrance of this deligh tful
visit to the village Of oaks.

WILL INTEREST THE LADIES.
How the New Tariff Reduces tht
Prices of Flannel.

How the New Tariff Reduces the
Prices of Flannel.
Here is something about politics
that the good ladies Of Winston-Salem
and Piedmont North Carolina cannot
help but appreciate. Flannels, which
were sold three months ago at TWEEN
ty-five cents, can now be bought for
twenty cents yard. This is saving
of five cents a yard. The saving on
all qualities of flannel is twenty per
cent, or one-flfth. Flannels which
hav e heretofore sold at fifty cents a
yard can now be bought for forty
cents. In buying ten yards Of flannel,
which has heretofore sold at twenty
FIVE cents a yard, there is a saving of
fifty cents. All this is the result of
the new Democratic tariff. In hun
dreds of other ways the people will
save many dollars which have hereto
fore gone to satisfy the greed of an ex-
travagant Republican government.
The Democrats are carrying out their
promises and if given time will give
this country the best and most eco
nomical government it has had for
thirty years.

AGAINST FAKE GAMES.
THE MINISTER'S OF RICHMOND
TAKE ACTION.
They are Opposed to Gambling of Any
Kind Being Carried on at the
Virginia Exposition.
Special to The Sentinel

Special to The sentineL]
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. S.-If there is
any gambling on the exposition
ground during the exposition to begin
tomorrow it will not be the fault of
the ministers of this city, who propose
to inaugurate crusade against such
games of chance as have been permit
ted heretofore. A call was issued
Saturday evening for a mass-meeting
at the Broad Street Methodist church
Sunday afternoon to geJ expressions
of opinion and map of procedure.
The call is signed by ReyS. Asbury
Christian and w. V. Tuder, D. D,
Methodists; George Cooper, D. D.,
Baptist, and Dr. Jas. Y. Fair, of the
Presbyterian church.
1t explains that the object of the
meeting is ''to take steps for the sup
preston of gambling at the exposition
grounds"
Mr.. Christian, who is at the head of
the movement, led similar crusade
at the Lynchburg fair a few years ago
and drove the gamblers out. The
law, he says, is plain, and he and his
associates will see that it is rigidly
enforced. He understands that the
Mushback anti-gambling act allows
pool selling at the race, bit that the
law is specific as to all games of chance
and he proposes that all such games
shall be suppressed.

ANOTHER WAR TORPEDO.
Invention of a Texan-Sold to China
for One Million Dollars.

for One Million Dollars.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 6.-The
latest discovery of destructive ma
chinery is the invention of a Fort
Worth man, General f. M. Clarke,
late Secretary of the Chamber Of CON-
merce. The invention is called the
electrical fish-shaped torpedo, and is
TO be used in naval warfare. 1t has
been tested, and works to perfection.
The torpedo can be SO controlled by
electrical appliances that it can be
projected against warships and blow
them to atoms.
General Clarke left tonight for New
York to complete a deal with the
Chinese government to supply the tor
pedoes, to be used in the war with
Japan. The Chinese are to pay 81, 000,-
900, of which SUM the inventor is to
receive $500, 900, and his partner: Colo
mel Fred. Grant, the remainder. Gen.
eral Clarke received a check for 5000
from tie Chinese government to pay
his expenses in consummating the
great deal.
The intention is not a patent, as
the chemical combinations forming
the explosives are secret known to
the inventor only.

SCHEME FOR DEMOCRATS.
HOW THEY CAN CATCH THE POP.

Must Adopt Republican Methods and
Resort to Their Tactics, Which the
Populists are Now Endorsing.

Populists are Now Endorsing.
Correspondence of the Sentinel.
| WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 81 have
found little light. 1t is a scheme fol
the Democrats to catch the Populist
vote and, judging by the past, it will
result in their fusing with the Demo-
| Gratis in 1896.
1t will be remembered that the AL
lance made cry for low tariff. Mills
| presented bill in Congress, but Re-
publicans defeated it and the Alliance
insisted that the Democrats had fail
ed to carry out their pledges
The farmers of North Carolina made
cry for an Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College and a Democratic Legisla-
ture gave it to them. They then
made cry for Railroad Commission
and the Democrats established the
best one in the country. These same
Democrats also established a Normal
and Industrial school for the daugh-
tiers Of the State. The very next year
the Democrats were abused and new
party formed. They then began yearn-
ing for an in cOme tax and the Demo-
cratic Congress gave it to them along
with free farming utensils and the
uCCOsSdIIco Vi lllO. NOW 10 SHOW UQClr
great appreciation and sincere graft
tude they join hands with the party
that voted against-every one of the
above measures and say to the party
that has heretofore stood by them:
go to the dogs; we are going to lie
down with this dear little golden calf
of Republ:canism in the land of Eth
opia.
If Democrats are TO learn a lesson
from the past and intend to get the
Populist vote in '96. judging the fut-
ure by the past, we must adopt Re-
publican methods and resort to their
tactics which the Populists are now
endorsing. We must load old North
Carolina down with debt and distress
as they did in '6S; we must abolish the
Railroad Commissions; we must repeal
the income tax and let the protected
millionaire continue to fry the fat out
of the laboring man: we must tax far
mers' implements and necessities out
of sight, sin the name of the Ameri-
can Working Man." we must enact
force bill and restore military rule in
the South; we must deplete the Treas
ury by giving enormous pensions to
thousands of fellows who got their
arms ground off in cane mills; and we
must adopt the system of county gov
eminent which gives Eastern North
Carolina negro magistrates and negro
juries.
This is the exact situation. Can
any sane man look upon this picture
without recalling that old assurance
that consistency is jewel?

Women in Politics,
From the Durham Sum-

From the Durham SUM-
According to Mrs. Lease, the noto-
rious female politician of Kansas, wo
men, if allowed the right of suffrage,
would not contribute 60 purity in pol
itics. ''All this talk" she says, that
women will improve the politics of
the State is foOlishness. We are no
better and no worse than men. Wo-
men will call themselves liars on the
platform, just like men. They will
ride on free passes, just like men.
You will find the worst set of cat
scratching cut-throats among women
that you can find anywhere"
If this be true, then the best, if not
the only plea in favor of woman suf-
frage must be surrendered. Indeed it
is conclusive reason against the
movement. For, whatever Mrs. Lease
may think and say, women are not
naturally "cat-scratching cut
throats." By nature the great major
ity of them are good and pure and
gentle, and if thrustfng them into pol
iticS is to make them cut-throats, as
Mrs. Lease charges it will, then God
save US from such calamity.

We are able to report large receipts
again. The opening week of the new
tobacco year was busy one on the
Winston leaf market, and all of the
warehouses were crowded each day.
There was favorable season for strip
ping the latter part of last week.
The offerings were largely new to-
bacco, and the quality was so decided
an Improvement over that spread upon
the floors for the year just gone that
the buyers evinced more than their
usual ''go" and spirit In bidding. Ali
grades were in active demand.
1t is learned that the storm from
West India did some damage to the
tobacco in the fields, but as the larger
part Of the crop was already housed,
IT did no serious hurt.
Our manufacturers are hard at work
putting up stock, and the sales con-
tlnue large. During the month of
September the revenue receipts at the
Winston Office were $62, 324 90, and for
the same month of 1898 they were
S5S, $500, an increase in favor of
this year of So, 437, 80, or 40, Cpl
