Governor Tillman, however, sent a
carload of deputies to Darlington yes

several private places, when they were
held up by the citizens of the town

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review for the
Week Ending March 31st.

Small sales on the loose market was
the rule this week, due to unfavorable
weather. There were no breaks Mon
day, the warehousemen, buyers and
others taking Easter holiday. Few,
however, spent the day picnicing in
the woods. and those who did defy the
cold and took an outing regret their
rashneSs.
Prices on all grades are firm. The
demand for good stock keeps active,
and the common grades are selling al
most as usual.
Probably half or little more than
half of the crop has been marketed.
The offerings thus far have showed a
comparatively small proportion of
good tobacco, and no improvement in
this respect may be expected for the
rest of the season.
Much interest is manifested in the
condition of the plant beds. The
| news that has been received from the

Both Had Eczema
In Its Worst Form

After Physicians F0fted, Hoods
SaTsGparilLG Perfectly Cured.
Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused by impure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joy when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood, and restores the dis
eased skin to fresh, healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents:
To c. I. Hood s. Co., Lowell, Mass:
I'VE think Hoods Sarsaparlia is the most
valuable medicine on the market for blood and
skin diseases. Our two children suffered terri
bly, with the
Worst Form OF Eczema
for two years. We had three physicians in
that time but neither of them succeeded in
curing them or even in giving them little
relief. At last we tried Hoods SarSaparilla
and in month both children We're per-
fectly cured. We recommend
Hoods SarsaparisEa

wave
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1894-04-05

The cold wave has played havoc
with the fruit and other crops in this
section. The peaches, apples and
the wheat and oats are killed. Clover
is lying en- the ground black. All to-
bacco plants in exposed places are
destroyed, and some in beds with
cloth covers on them. Only the very
small plants under covers are consid-
cred safe. The leaves on the trees
are killed.

The general opinion is that the 90

plant bed cloth, the damage is not
near SO great. The injury, however,
is greater in some sections than

THE MUDDY ARKANSAS
Rose Six Feet Last Night. A Flood of
Water Coming Down.

The Arkansas River rose at least
six feet here last night Floating
debris is coming down constantly
and q great many large trees and
logs have been landed In the eddy
formed by the last rise at the foot OF
West Court Street
The great torrent is booming,
roaring, dashing and whirling and
crowds of spectators are constantly
standing on the banks watching the
course of the mighty current. The
danger line will reach Little Rock
today and by tonight or tomorrow
the same will be the case in this
county. The current is now striking
straight across the big sand bar
formed just above the city and oppo-
site the water works Evidently
serious trouble is in store along the
bank in the locality of the Water
Works. Just what will be the re-
suit cannot yet be told
Beyond any doubt the bank in the
rear of he Courthouse and the Hotel
Trulocl is safe, at least for a time.
There is no dependence to be placed
upon the direction or the course the
current is going to take, but one
thing is very .evident that much
work must vet be done by the gov
eminent before Pine Bluff will be
securely out OF danger and beyond

river.

Great interest is manifested in the
ease and great crowds will attend
the session OF the court while the
trial is i'll progress.
scoTT's HISTORY,
From the Memphis Scimiter, Dec,
20, 1898, we obtained the following
concerning Scott:
''In 1889 a green country boy was
robbed and T. J. Scott was arrested
in Tenne ssee for the crime When
the case came to trial Scott testified
in his own behalf He said that il
was absurd that a man Of his stand
ing among his fellows should stooI
to such seuryy tricks. He said II
was a stain on the family escuteheon
which no Scott could tolerate. How.
ever the Jury did not have as much
regard for the escutcheon as Scott
did, and he was sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary. Fl
nally Scott's relatives came to the
front, and General Peters, Judge
DuBose and all his Middle Tennese,
relatives signed a petition for his
pardon. Coy. Bob Taylor issued thu
pardon and Scott was liberated.
He was out Of Jail only few days
until he robbed a woman in Nash
vile. A trial quickly followed ant
Scott was back in the penitentiary
before week of liberty had been en-
/ joyed.
He served his term, went to Missis
sippi, and from there came to Ark
ansas. At one time he was a pros
\ perons farmer III the Arkansas bot
toms, made big money, but went t,
Mexico where through injudiciou
investments he lost it all. From
that time on he began drifting dow
the current of life and now he occu
pies a felons cell, charged with
; most horrible and cruel murder.
4 His attorneys are I'll. King White
and N. t. White. The trial will b
an interesting and lengthy one.

position. Indeed, the fact that the
Midway, with all it's shams, fakes
and peeuliarities, drew such large
crowds while less attention was
paid to more sublime objects afforded
much comment upon the peculiar
character OF the American people.
The Midway with all its peculiar
types is very wildly portrayed In

he remembered her face very well.

that enrapt him with such delight

tions over again in reviewing our
