THE FREE LEAF CLAUSE.
WINSTON DELEGATION RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON.
No Damaging Legislation WIZ be En-
acted at This Session of Congress
VIII Visit Washington Again.


Messrs. W. W. Wood and e. G. Ed
munds returned from Washington
January 3Ist Mr.. Wood continued
up the road to Elkin on i'm portant
business.
Mr. Edmuuds, in conversation with
a SENTINEL represents tative said that
the delegation failed to get a hearing
before the committee in regard to the
raw leaf clause: however it was gener-
ally conceded that there would be no
change in the law as enacted for
these goods in 1890.
An appointment has been made for
these gentlemen to have a hearing be-
fore the committee at do distant date.
They will be notified by telegram
when to return to the capital city for
this purpose.
Mr. Edmunds seems confident that
no damaging legislation wiz be en-
acted relative to the leaf tobacco in
dustry.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Charlotte Observer says:
AS it was field day in the House
no meeting with the subcommittee
of ways aud means was practicable,
but these gentlemen, accompanied by
Representative EdnluadS, OF Virgin
ie, brother { f MIR. E. @. Edmunds, had
a conversation with Judge Montgon-
gOmery, Of the subcommittee. 1t is
arranged for the delegates to return
here later in the week ana appear be-
fore the subcommittee. y member
of the subcommittee tells me that he
favors the free leaf only for farmers,
but cannot say how his associates feel
about it. He believes that later the
whole system of internal revenue will
be revised. The chairman, Mr.. Nc
Millin, is quoted against any change
in the free leaf feature. The Win
stOn gentlemen hear that two of the
three sub-committeemen favor taking
the free leaf privilege from peddlers.
Mr.. Wood says that p, 800, 900 pounds

Correspondence of the sentinel.]

Correspondence of the sentinel.l
Big CREEK, Feb. 2-There is much
sickness in this section, many cases
proving fatal. 1t seems that the
sickness is due to the changing
weather. After the death of our
mother, as elsewhere announced, we
note the death of Capt j. G. Smith,
of Westfield, after a lingering illness,
aged 50. On January 29th Mrs.
Isacc Fulp died, aged S5 years.
The matrimonial fever has not yet
subsided. Bud s. Colinsworth and
Jennie Cook, of Westfield; George
Stanley and Sallie Stevens, Riley
Cooper and Mary Peele, of Big Greek,
were married recently.

Goat Iadustry In Oregon.
From Hides and Leader.

From Hides and Leader.
"Goat-raising is an important and
growing industry in Oregon and
some other northwestern states.
One rancher in Benton county,
Ore, has q fine herd of 45O
goats, which includes a number OF
thoroughbred Apgora bucks. Twen-
ty two cents a pound is the lowest
this man has received for fleece in
a dozen years, while frequently he
has received 80 cents to 35 cents a
pound. The average yield from a
goat is about tour pounds, but eight
to ten pounds is frequently obtained
from high grade goats. The goats
are not only valuable for their fleece,
but in clearing off land, as they sub.
sist largely on brush and weeds"

HE ANSWERED TIE QUESTION.

Genera, Sheridan Explains what Il the
Matter With the Democratic Parry.
Some years ago, while General George
A. Sheridan was addressing great au-
dience, in Cleveland, q man yelled out
70 him, What is the matter with the
Democratic party anyhow Sheridan
dronned the line of argument he was
pursuing, turned toward the man and
replied as follows: .'What is the matter
with the Democratic party? will tell
you, my friend. The Democratic party
was born under planets that We're il op-
position It lives in the objective case.
Like q mule, it has no pride of ancestry,
no hope of posterity. Itnever originates
anything. 1t always shines by borrowed
light Democracy has neverheen joined
III honest wedIock to principle, but
lived for years in open adultery with a
harlot called slavery, lived with her till
she died of corruption and was buried
amid the sobs and groals of her para
mour.
THE atmosphere that surrounds De-
mocracy is full of noxious vapors that
breed moral pestilence and death. The
sun never shines through it, vice seeks
its shadow, and corruption grows lusty
under its unholy influence Springs Of
purity are never found III Democracy.
It's waters are torpid, lifeless, covered
with the filth and scum With which
stagnant pools and waveless waters al
ways offend the eyes Of men. The soil
which Democracy has cultivated has
failed to yield harvests of value to tho
nation, but has given crops Of worthless
weeds and briers.
Democracy has no love Of country,
believes i'll states instead Of nation,
drives loyalty from its doors and well
comes treason to its habitatioll, holds
the deeds of our soldiers and sailors as
naught, strives to blacl1eil the names of
our heroes, weeps over. the lost cause,
hates the blue and loves the gray, stabs
loyalty in the back, binds up the wounds
of treason and speaks words Of hope and
comfort to its devoteee, applauds when
helpless blacks are stricken down in the
south and caresses the hands red with
their innocent blood, denies the right Of
American citizens to mako homes for
themselves in the south, justifes the
man who shoots them down or drives
them out.
Democracy IS a curse to the land,
the source Ct cur bitterest woes, the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime it's apologists and defenders.
Democracy is original sin let loose to
rend and destroy, is the spirit Of evil
filling the swine Of the land, the incar-
nation Of unhcliness the child Of the
devil. It's home should be in that outer
darkness where there are weeping and
wailing and gnashing Of teeth. Such,
family pictured my friend, is what is
the matter with the Democratic party. :"
Sheridan picked up the thread of his
speech at the point where he had been
interrupted. He was asked 10 more
questions during the evening
