NORTH CAROLINA ALLIANCE.
It's Membership is Said to be 27 800
Once it Was 100000.

President Butler, chairman of the
State Alliance executive committee,
in his report made to the committee,
says that the strength of the Alliance
is about twelve hundred greater than
it was twelve months ago. The State
president, Newborne, has been quite
active In organizing new suh-allianccs
and reOrganizing old ones. The North
Carolina Alliance now has about 27,-
500 members. The finances have been
just large enough to operate it. The
fees are small, no larger than when it
has 100, 900 members. The state busi-
ness agency shows business during
the twelve months of about 1915, 900.
1t has felt, like everything else, the
hard times. Its business has been as
large as half million. A new busi-

as trustee of the business fund. This

BUFFALO, Aug. observation-disclosures
who lifted their eye toward the North
ern sky between 10 and ii O'Clock
Thursday morning saw there a beau
harbor and the little island which lies
in Lake Ontario short distance
to the South. Toronto is fifty-six
miles north of Buffalo, but those who
first witnessed the phenomenon were
able to count the church spires in the
Canadian city. The phenomenon is
classed by natural scientists as a
mirage of the third order, the OBJ
jects looming up far above their real
level, and not inverted, as is the case
with mirages of the first and second
class, but appearing like perfect
landscape far away in the sky.

Winston fs the Place.

A leading bicycle journal says:
'sFrom the town Of Winston, in the
State of North Carolina, the secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce writes
to say that they have unusual induce
ments to offer capitalists who con-
template the establishment of a
bicycle factory there. We are not in
a position to state the exact nature of
the advantages to be offered, but it is
known that they are of a liberal
order. Today there is but one factory
located in the South. There Is room
for the introduction of others. The
cost of maintenance in the district
spoken of would surely be less than in
the east or west. Some of those who
are now groaning under the weight of
expenses might with eventual profit
communicate with our correspond
ent."

STATUE OF MAJ. WINSTON.
The Order for 1t Has Been Given Ont
by Ex-(20VarnOc Holt

by Ex-Governor Holt.
1t has been known for some time,
that Ex-Governor Thomas M. Holt
contemplated placing a statue OF Maj.
Joseph Winston on the beautiful
monument which he had erected on
the Guilford Battle Ground. In fact
the design Of the monument was
adopted with a view of surrounding.
The Greensboro Record announces,
on the authority of Judge Schenck,
president of the sGuilfurd Battle
Ground Company, that the order for
tile statue has been placed by eX-Gov.
Holt, with Mullins, of Salem, Ohio,
manufacturer of all kinds of metallic
work used on art and architecture
The statue Of Maj. Winston will be
made OF a superior composite Of met
ais 80 nearly resembling bronze that
the difference Is scarcely discernable.
The figure will represent major of
the Continental line In full uniform;
on the drawn sword will rest the right
hand making the position easy and
soldierlike.
The face will front west, towards
the @. f. s. Y. V. and will be plainly
visible from the cars for half mile at
distance Of 400 yards.
This will be the most conspicuous
and artistic improvement on the
grounds and is renewed evidence of
ex-Gov. Hollis ardent patriotism and
generous liberality.

AMIS A CANDIDATE.
Will Run as an Independent Against
Tom Settle

Tom Settle
1t appears that Thomas Settle will
have to run for Congress in the Fifth
district against candidate of 'his
own persuasion" Col. Rufe Amis, of
Granville, great advocate OF free
silver, announces himself an independ-
ent Republican candidate and says
that the Republicans of his county
revolt the action Of the convention by
nominating Settle.
Amis says the reason his name was
not submitted to the convention was
because Settles friends had manipu-
lated everything, going so far in Gran
vile county as to make delegate of
a man who was not even voter. This
man took the township conventions In
hand and before Amis' friends knew
what was going on had them all
packed for Settle.
Col. Amis has been shelling the
woods for Tommie's scalp, but he
missed it in the convention. Now he
proposes to try for it on the hustlngs.
II he expects to maintion, not only
his self-respect, but the respect OF the
people, he should fight it out, now
that he has declared himself, and not
back down as he did two years ago.

Carlisle's Retirement Rumored

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE rumor
was freely passed around at the capi-
tOl today that Secretary Carlisle
would retire from the cabinet and
that his place would be taken by Mr..
Wilson, OF West Virginia. OF course
no verif1cation or contradiction OF
this rumor could be had from the per-
sonages chiefly interested, but In dis
cussing the probability of the rumor
proving well-founded, one eminent
Southern Congressman stated that
Mr.. Carlisle had expressed his opinion
that the Senate tariff bill was one of
the best measures ever framed and
that holding these views, Mr.. Carlisle
must naturally find himself at vari-
ance with the expressed opinions of
the President.

ONLY FOUR CANDIDATES.
REYNOLDS, BROwER, LINNEY
ANDGBLACKBURN.
cans Who's Want TO Represent the
Eighth District In Congress

Eighth District In Congress.
There are four prominent candi.
dates for the Republican Congression-
al nomination in this district, to-wit
j. M. Brewer, OF Surry; Charlie Rey-
nOlds, OF Forsyth; r. Il Linney, OF
Alexander, and Spencer Blackburn,
of Allegheny.
The Mt. Airy News thinks it is safe
to say that one of these four men will
get the nomination, though it is pos
Sible, of course, that a dark ,Eorse
might come in. There are twelve
counties in the district and just how
they will all go no one yet knows.
Allegheny county has instructed for
Blackburn as long as there is any
chance Of his nomination., with Lin
ney as second choice. Forsyth county
has instructed for Reynolds
The News had information last week
that the delegates from Surry county
would vote for Reynolds but this is
denied by prominent Republicans of
Mt. Airy. They are now claimed for
blackburn, but it remains to be seen
whether they will not at the last mo-
ment rally to the support OF the par.
ty's greatest worker in Surry county,
j. M, Brewer. Mr.. Brewer says he
has not yet decided whether or not
he will allow his name to go before
the convention, but if he does he
will go in to win, and a man OF his
political sagacity and experience
will prove most formidable can
didate.
The convention meets next Thurs
day in Wilkesboro, and very soon
thereafter the campaign will formal
ly open. Mr.. Bower carried the dis
trict two years ago by something over
three thousand plurality, too large a
majority to be overcome, and he will
undoubtedly be reelected. The Dem
ocrats are in good shape and will leave
nothing undone to bring out a full
party vote. They will make d vigor-
Gus fight all along the line and will
win by handsome majority. The
Republicans may put out their strong
est man but they will go into the
fight handicapped by the certainty of
defeat.

WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.
Warrant for a ReasODble and Prudent
Hopefulness.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly report Of trade says: The
new tariff bill, If signed by the Presi-
dent as expected, provides a definite
basis for business. No supplemental
legislation is thought possible, until
next year at least Large improve
ment has been expected from any set
tlement, the more because of vast
amount Of business deferred from
week to week In the hope OF more def
mite conditions. While it is not wise
to look for great "bo0m," there is
warrant for a reasonable and prudent
hopefulness 1t is too early to look
for effects of the new situation in the
great Industries, but the gradual re-
covery which has appeared for some
time is seen In better demand for
products.

students, who have remained over
during vacation, have planned, built
and painted a large and handsome
residence for Professor Irby, near the
college, on HillSboro street. The
work has been done very rapidly, even
in less time than the same number OF
carpenters would have completed the
job. The boys received ten cents an
hour for their work. They are now

Everybody seems pleased that the
tariff agitation is over. Business
men, especially, are in good humor.
While the bill is not at .all that was
desired by Democrats, it is a vast Inn
Drovement on the Mckinley bill; and
is believed to be the forerunner of fur
ther reductions. The opinion is uni
yersal that there will be wonderful
change for the better in trade condi-
tions throughout the country.

CORN 4 FAILURE.
One railroad AbRndons Over a Dozen
Stations on Its Lines

Special to The Sentinel
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Aug. 1s.-The
damage to the corn crop in parts OF
Kansas and Nebraska is so great that
the st. Joseph and Grand Island Rail-
road has issued orders for the aban-
donment of over dozen stations on
its lines. The officers OF the road say
the stations are not abandoned per-
manently, although there is little
probability OF their being reopened
until another crop is assured. The
people along the line in the sections
where the stations are closed depend
ed almost entirely on the corn crop,
and now are leaving in great numbers,
and there is absolutely no business
for the railroads.
