SENT TO THE ACADEMY.
G II. Garitty, of Texas. Donates Four
Hundred Dollars.

hundred Dollars.
Col. James Garitty, President of the
Corsicana National Bank Texas has
sent a check of S400 to Principal Clcw-
ell, of Salem Female Academy, to be
used in the following manner:
Two hundred dollars will be spent.
in erecting a series of granite steps in
the Academy yard as memorial to
his wife, Mrs. Emma Moore Garitty,
who died last year, and who was
formerly a much esteemed pupil of
the Academy. Mrs. Garitty was a
lady of rare qualities. and greatly be
loved by all in her home city, for her
deeds of charity and her many adj
mirable qualities. Her affection for
her school home was very strong, and
she was in communication with her
friends here in the school during all
the years prior to her death. In view
of this fact her husband determined
to perpetuate her memory in the place
she loved so well by the erection of
the memorial alluded to. The stair
way will be of granite, handsome and
massive in design, and will be in
Scribed with the name and principal
dates in the life of the departed wife
and former scholar. Besides being
lasting memorial to Mrs. Garitty, and
an ornament to the already beautiful
Academy yard, this stairway or steps
will connect annex hail and society
hall at the point about midway be-
tween the tWoobuildings; those famii-
ldr with the grounds will remember
the five foot embankment at this
point.
The other 5000 was a gift to the
Alumn8 Society's Scholarship Fund,
which the former pupils are raising to
aid worthy young girls in securing an
education. The ladies have secured
about 81, 700 for this purpose, and the
gift alluded to will be a most welcome
one to these friends of the Academy.
The work of endowment is getting
nicely under way, about IS, coo having
been secured during the past few
years, and set aside for permanent
endowment.
This gift of Mr.. Garitty is quite a
compliment to our community
as well as to our school, and is in
the direction of doing great good for
worthy institution. If friends in
distant Texas place their gifts in the
line of upbuilding the Academy,
should not the generous minded in our
commun,ti ties move in the same direc-
tion? The Academy needs many
things which the current income will
not permit it to secure, and hence
what more permanent memorial could
be secured to perpetuate forever the
memory o. a mother, wife or child,
than to erect some needed building
on the grounds, or endow some schol-
arship to be named after the departed
one? We trust Mr.. GarrIty's generous
example may be followed by others in
the near future.

THIRD PARTY CAMPAIGN.

1t Has Opened in Dayrdson-Rey. Mr.
Hunt on the "Var Path"
THE SENTlNFL's correspondent at
Tyro Shops, Davidson county, writes
as follows:
The campaign for 1894 has opened
up with the Third Partyites. Old
Brother Hunt is now going around
looking up the lost sheep. He is
slipping around through this com
munity and seeing every alliance
man, telling them that they intend
to revive again-now Offering to take
members in for 25 cents, but will not
make good what they have lost here
tofore.
Why don't Brother Hunt, being a
minister of the gospel, come out
boldly and give everybody an invita-
ton to join them if it is a good thing
and for the good OF the country and
not take the woods and talk to
Democrats only.
Well, we have a remedy for Old
Brother Hunt and that remedy will
put him in his hole. 1t is this: Put
the Hon. Mr. Jones, OF Forsyth, after
him. 1t takes no one larger, stouter
and better looking than Mr.. Jones
to tell the people who and what be is.
White men OF Davidson be on your
guard when such men will not come
out boldly and talk to you, it shows
that there is something 'rotten in

The Georgia Governorship.

Hon. w. Y Atkinson, one of the
democratic aspirants for guberna-
torial nomination in Georgia, opened
his compaign with two hours speech
at Forsyth last week. His speech
was conservative and patriotic, and
he paid a warm tribune to the worth
and ability of his only announced
compatitor for the nomination, Gen.
Clement A. Evans Il believe" said
Mr.. Atkinson, "that Mr.. Cleveland is
one of the greatest men tina f America
has ever produced; that he is honest,
patriotic and courageous. But it is
not to be expected that we should
agree fully with him upon every ques
ton. No President, however great
or wise. was ever able to conform to
the views of every member of his
party. There is no room for factions
in the democratic party. The merits
of the administrations at Washington
should not be an issue in the contest
for the democratic nomination for
Governor. The campaign should be
SO conducted as to secure unity and
harmony in the party"

INSURANCE RATES.
Raleigh Catches a Raise Like Winston
Did Last Year

The business circles of Raleigh are
stirred up, and that very much. The
Southern Tariff Association sent out
a notification that the insurance rates
in Raleigh had been largely increased,
ranging from 80 to over 100 per cent.
According to the News-Observer-
Chronicle this raised the breeze which
is now brewing. That paper goes on
to give an Illustration by taking one
line of business on which the inSur-
ance heretofore has been ninety cents
per hundred. The new rating IN
creaSes the insurance in this line to
ST.. 80 per hundred. Thus stock of
goods insured for $4,000 has been
costing under the old rate $3.50 per
annum. Under the new rate insur-
ance on the same stock Of goods will
cost $780, difference of $500. A Raj
eigh firm that has been carrying in
surance on a 100000 stock of goods
and paying 5000 for the same has been
notified that the cost Of insurance for
the same stock will hereafter be ST.
900. This illustration probably gives
the maximum increase of rate estab-
liShed by the association, but an in
crease has been made in nearly all
lines and nearly on all classes of build
ings in Raleigh, and hence the rumb-

AN INTERESTING PLAY.
RENDERED BY THE HESPERIAN
SOCIETY OF THE SEA
Sustained-It Was Repeated
Other News.

The annual entertainment of the
Hesperian Society Of Salem Academy
was given Monday night in the Acad-
emy Chapel.
An interesting play entitled "The
Chaperone," was rendered.
The presentation of this charming
drama was a beautiful and convincing
testimonial to the rare talents of the
lovely participants and the ability of
their instructors.
Every character was well presented
and sustained throughout. At one
time the audience would be conyulSed
with laughter and the next moment
sympathetic tears would. fill their
eyes.
One of the most mirth-provoking
and taking" characters was Miss
Lizzie Burson, as Nora, an Irish
maid.
The audience was enthusiastic in
praises for Miss Powell Dobson, as
Joyce Dynecourt, the fayOrte OF
Crandon Hall. Miss Dobson has great
talent as an actress and was in many
respects the life cf the play. Miss
Daisy Crutchfield, as Lady Dyne-
court" of ''Selb0urne." was perfect in
her maintainace OF that character. In
ter was all that could be desired.
The Tenniss Drill by seven young
ladies was most beautiful and well
executed series of lovely figures.

Prohibition in Ontario.
From the Nation |

from the Nat1Ol |
Municipal elections were held in the
province of Ontario recently, and at
the same time plebiscite was taken
on the question Of prohibition. The
vote was not on the adoption of any
form of law, but for the purpose of
determining whether the people de-
sire the Legislature to enact a pro-
hibitory statute. The result was an
overwhelming majority in favor of
prohibition, estimated as high as
100, 600 in the whole province. Not
only country villages but cities voted
in the affirmative, the majority in To
ronto being more than 1000. In these
elections, for the first time in the
history of the province, women poss-
essing certain property qualifications
had the privilege of voting on the
liquor question, but only small min
ority of those thus qualified-1. 1856 out
of about 5000 in nToronto-went to the
polls. The majority for prohibition
throughout the province was so great
that the Legislature can hardly fail
to enact it.

Romantic marriages never cease.
An event under this heading was
celebrated Sunday morning on the y.
s. w. passenger train between Pine
Hall and Madison. The contracting
parties were from StOneville-MiSS
Alice Moore and Mr.. r. S. Lemmons.
The license was purchased at Went
worth, Rockingham county, after
which the couple proceeded to WALNUT
Cove TO have the nuptiai knot tied.
There was d ''hitch" in this for the
license said that the marriage must
take place III the same county where
it was purchased.
The couple next decided upon the
plan to get married on the. train. Rev.
i. w. Allen, Of the Cove, kindly con-
SenLed to go along and be master OF
the ceremony" The three boarded
the train and when it struck Rock
ingham county, Capt. Stantield, the
polite conductor, had the engineer TO
slow up'' So the ceremony could be
performed within the bounds OF
Rockingham; also to prevent the di-
vine from miSquOting any words IN
reading the ceremony.
Among these vino witnessed the
event were Capt. Stantield, Frank
Hudson and j. Fl. Hire. The bride
anG groom and preacher got off at
Stoneville, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
LeMmOnS, where they were rendered
| pleasant reception by friends.
It is learned that the only remuner-
alton Capt. Stantield claimed for his
kindness in slowing up the train was
| d ripe juicy kiss from the bride-but
our informant says that he had to go
on to Roanoke without it. Captain
Stanfield now entertains the opinion
that the debt will never be paid.

land. G. Hamlin and r. Z. Dalton.
Clark, GOrrelI and walker received
the largest number of voters.
After the nominations were made,
Mr.. =. G. Buxton suggested that these
be declared the nominees of the Dem
OcratS of the Second ward and tha no
primary be held. D This suggestion
met with objections and was not
pressed.
Cy Watson took the floor and spread
himself upon the mOmentOtiS question
of hogs. He did not object to hogs.
Didn't care if bis next door Deighbnr
kept them. Thought the hog pen was
no more hurtful To health than pour
ing upon the ground the sIops which
would be fed TO the hogs. 1t might
be well enough to have some reStric-
tions upon the ownership Of hogs,
fOrbidding them in thickly settled
parts of the city and permitting them
in the extreme limits OF the different
wards. Looking to the future, he
thought it the best policy to cOncili-
ate those who were clamOring for
hogs.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wats0n's
remarks the meeting adjourned.
