Graded schools defeated

At Mt. Airy's municipal election,
held last week, the question Of
issuing bonds for the establishment Of
system of graded schools in the
town, was also submitted To the
voters for their decision and was de-
feated by vote OF 24S to Sc. The
News says: The question was lost
sight Of to a large extent in the more
mOmentous one of bar-rooms or no bar
rooms The result, we do not think,
properly expresses the true sentiment
OF the town upon the question. The
advocates OF bar-roOmS made All effort
to fly their kite with that as tail,
and this lost it many votes among
those who, in square fight, would
probably have been in favor OF estab-
fishing graded schools upon an issue

Topics About the Winston Market
Another Big Week.
From Daily Sentinel, May 11th,
While tobacco breaks have not been
as large this week as last, the ware
double sales being necessary in order
to clear the floor.
There has been no noticeable
change in prices from last week. All
desirable grades Of tobacco have been
eagerly taken at good figures Dog
tail," common and medium tobacco
predominate and the low chal acter Of
the crop accounts for IL general low
average in prices and to this fact, may
be attributed the good prices realized
for all goods of better grades.
From all sections OF the country
comes reports that farmers are max
ing preparations for large crops of
tobacco. The acreage in all sections
where the weed is grown will be
largely increased, If nothing occurs to
prevent.
Farmers are stimulated to the effort
by the high prices Of good toboccos
and as it has been three years since a
good crop was produced, it is thought
this will he IA good year Experience
also teaches farmers that tobacco is
| the bt st money crop for this section
In all probability Winston will sell
! 25 million pounds OF tobacco another
year 1t is now by far the most i'm
porLant tobacco market in the State
| and after Danville, Va, the largest
| loose market in the world.
The tobacco growing OF South Car J.
lima will increase its crop this yeaT
| from 100 to 200 per cent.

THE WINSTON BAPrISTS.
MIR. j. @. Cadd-ll Writes About Them
Moving Forward


Last weeks issue OF the Biblical
Record contains the following about
the work OF the Winston Baptists,
written by Mr.. J. C. Caddell, who re-
Gently paid visit to this city:
''The new church which Bro Brown
and his people thought would be
started and completed this year has
been kept back by the panic. The
present house is nearly tilled by the
Sunday school and Il larger one is
greatly needed. This will, however,
come in due time, and the present
condition of things Is evidence OF the
good judgment OF Bro. Brown and his
brethren in not undertaking TO build
while money is so tight and times SO
hard. They are, however, not resting
on their oars. Bro. Browder kindly
invited ME to go out To North Wins
ton and see the chapel. Here in
good portion OF the town has been
erected one OF the neateSt and most
complete houses of worship | have
seen in the State. They call it a
chapel, and so it is; but still it might
as well be called d church judge it
will seat four hundred people. A
nice Sunday school room is SO arrang
ed as to become part of the audience
room when So desired. This has been
done at d cost of 1000, and many Of
the brethren who could not pay mon
ey gave their time and labor to 1t.
BRO. Wray is getting on well at
Broad Street. which Is now out OF
debt, and the brethren are hopeful.
Bro Wray will spend his vacation
with his father, in Knoxville, Tenn.

his room, when thunder storm came
up At every peal he was very pro-
fame and cursed the thunder. Suddenly
Eygleston toppled over from his chair
and on the floor as though he had been
struck down by thunderbOlt. When
assistance arrived the unfortunate
man was found to have sustained a
stroke of apploplexy. He was taken to
his room where he lay until Monday
night. when he breathed his last, new
er having spoken word from the
moment of the attack.
Eggleston was an Englishman by
birth and had been in this community
about six years, and is said TO have
been mill operative. AS stated above,
he has no relatives in this1city, but it
is reported that he has daughter

last evening by Mr.. and Mrs. Clewell
which was very enjoyable IN every
way.
Ihe building was prUfuSt ly decorat-
ed with flowers from woods and from
green house; the yaId, hich is neatly
terraced, was filled WIKI palms and
orange trees, besides tie lowering
shrubs growing in the same, and in
addition to these, electric lights made
the tables spread for the hauqet ap-
pear very attractive. When the

and from town, more than "A hundred
strong, and were constantly Hitting
in and out OF the building, seating
the mSelveS in summer house, at tables,
or among the shrubbery, as one who
was present remarked "It seemed like
fairyland."
There were d considerable number
