JINGo1sM vs.. PATRIOTISM.
Third Term Talk Dying Out-A Rumor
Discredited.

WAsHINGroN, Sept 6.-I have no
sympathy with the disposition to call
Secretary Oluel'5 desire to protect
American interests "iIngoism. Cuba
wants to be free The Queen of the
Antilles" as this beautiful island is
rightly called, desires to throw off the
yoke of Spain, one OF the most elfete
mOuarchs OF the O,d World. That the
American Republic should fdi! to
sy sympathlZe with her Is enigmItical.
Besides this question OF sympathy it
seems to me that in the case OF 4 for
eign war the United States could
easily be surrounded 10y enemies.
Cuba, several South merlcan States,
Canada and Hawaii would prove
coaling stations and landing places
for foreigners, SO that car army and
our navy might form a Gordon around
the Republic New York, the entire
Northern frontier, the cities of the
Atlantic SeaUnTd, and San Francisco
would ali be at the mercy Of the most
deadly foes OF this country. The
prospect is not pleasant from any
standpoint. / hope Secretary Olney
will enforce the Monroe doctrine in
the letter and the spirit.
Third term" talk for Cleveland is
dying out. LII ought never TO have

MRS. W. T. BURBANK WINS
SHE IS SOLE HEIR TO QUARTER
OF A MILLION.
That is the Decision Rendered by the
California Supreme Court-A Lady
OF Culture and Refinement-
A Sentinel Vision

From a telegram it is learned that
the California Supreme Court last
week rendered decision in the will
case of William Walkerly, who died
in Oakland several years ago. The
decision virtually makes the widow the
sole heir to quarter Of a million dol
lars. Mrs. Walkerly is now the wife
of VIM. f. Burbank, formerly of Win
stOn, and founder of the Los Angeles
Record"
To the above the Charlotte Obser-
yer adds: ''Mr. Burbank was for some
time editor of the Winston SENTINEL,
ia which he still owns ar interest.
Mrs. Walkerly and he were married
during his residence in Winston. Mrs
Burbank is a woman of culture and
refinement, and has written some
poetry OF merit.
The SENTINEL, naturally, feels like
throwing up its hat and endulging in
ecstatic gyrations over the good for
tune that has come to its President. In
the midst of this pleasure appears a
vision of ffrst-class, bang up build
ing, surmOunted by the figure of a
soldier on duty, and eligibly 10 =
Gated, with these letters in bold relief
arrayed across the front Of the struct-
ure: THE SENTINEL BUILDING. Such
a vision may be verified, but we are
not yet to award the contract.

Rev. @. q. Haymore, of Mt. Airy,
while in upper Forsyth county recent
ly, visited and examined a house
which was built during the revolu-
tionary war. The house, he tells the
News, is now as strong and solid as
the day it was erected. 1t was built
for fort for the protection of the pa
triotic citizens Of the communities
from the Tories. 1t is constructed
out of hewn logs, which fit so perfect
ly that bullet cannot pass through
the cracks. 1t is about 35 feet long
and 20 wide and does not contain a
single window, the owners never al
lowing one to be cut. 1t contains but
one room and ventilation and light
are secured from the doors, located in
either end. A Mrs. Banner, a relative
Of the Surry Banners, now owns and
occupies the house as residence She

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Failures During the Week and Month
of August.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-R. G. Dun 81
Co., in their weekly review Of trade
today say: There is no real reaction
in business. Gains which were recog-
nized as temporary are vanishing, but
there remains decided increase over
last year at date, although prices
average S.S per cent. lower than year
ago. 1t needs no keen observer to see
that the reaction against the rapid
advance of prices is still strong. Cot
ton is strong, but has paused. The
general tendency to curtail purchases
where prices have notably advanced
grows clearer in boots and shoes, in
wool, and in some products Of iron.
The demand for commercial and
manufactured loans and for the West
is somewhat larger, but the money
markets are still easy. Failures in
four weeks of August show liabilities
of $8. DAG, ,237, OF which So, 844, ,S32 were

TOBACCO MANUFACTURING.
July, 1895, Was Better Than July
1894.

1894.
July was a better month than the
previous one in all branches of manu-
facture, and also better than July,
1894 1t was also better than the
average of the seven months of the
calendar year to date, or the average
of the past fiscal year.
While there is but small Increase
in tobacco in the past seven months
as compared with the seven months Of
1894, yet the monthly average for the
past seven months is 375,000 pounds
more than for the twelve months of
the calendar year 1894, and $4,000
pounds more than the monthly aver
age of the fiscal year 1S94-'95, and
July's output is 447, 900 pounds more
than the average of the first seven
months Of this year, so that the out
look is good for substantial increase
before the year is out.
In cigars, on the other hand, the
monthly average of the past seven
months is less than either the average
of the seven months of 1894 or the
average of the fiscal year 1S94-'95, or
the full calendar year 1S94-being
Is, 900, 900 less, so that the average for
the last nVe months OF U0lS year Will
have to equal the output of July to
make even a small balance in favor Of
the calendar year 1895, and as the out
put of July was 40,000,000 more than
the average of the past seven months,
it is apparent that the last five
months of 1895 will have to show
largely increased business over the
first seven months.
In cigarettes there has been sub
stantial increase, and as the average
for the past seven months is decided
ly better than the monthly average of
the first seven months of 1894, or the
average of the whole year of 1894, and
100000 better than the monthly av-
erage of the fiscal year 1894-'95, and as
the output of July was $4,000, 900 bet
ter even than the average of the
first seven months of this year, it is
very evident that the calendar year
1895 promises great record, and es-
pecially with the new manufacturers
in the field.
Snuff shows little encouragement,
and there will have to be an unusual
pickup in the business of the last five
months of this year to prevent big
balance being against the years out
put.

Plug Manufacturers at Odds With the
American Tobacco Company.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Much interest
was manifested in the meeting at the
Holland House today of the plug to-
bacco manufacturers. Gathered in
the hotel were the representatives of
such large plug tobacco firms as Pierre
Lorrillard s. Co., and Buchanan &
Lyall, of this city; D. Mayo & Co., of
Richmond, Va; Sorg 81 Co., of Mid
dletown, Ohio: Scotten s. Co., Of
vile, KY; the Liggett & Myers To
bacco Co., of ST. Louis, the Pep
per Tobacco Co., of st. Louis: Brown
Bros. Company and w. f. Smith s.
Sons Company, of Winston.
The plug tobacco manufacturers
are at present at odds with the
American Tobacco Company, and
asserts that the company has en-
croached on their territory by the
manufacture Of plug tobacco. One
threat of the plug tobacco manufac-
turers is that they will manufacture
cigarettes and give them away to pur-
chasers Of plug tobacco.
The meeting, which was behind
closed doors. lasted two hours. Col
M. @. Wetmore, of the Liggett 81
Myers Tobacco Co., of St. Louis, was
president, and the secretary was J. III.
Drummond, Of the Drummond Tobac-
co Co., of the same city. After the
meeting Mr.. Drummond said that
there had been general discussion at
the meeting as to the advisability of
manufacturing cigarettes and that
the majority Of those present were in
favor of the move.
"But." added Mr.. Drummond, "the
manufacturers Of cigarettes will en-
gage in that branch OF the business
individually, so that it will be in no
sense combination or a trust"

81 congratulate you and the people of
North Carolina on her remarkable
progress in cotton manufactures.
She is now practically equal to South
Carolina, the largest cotton consumer
in the South. BY the actual census
of mills North Carolina consumed of
this years crop 227, 900 bales, an in
crease of $4,000 over last year. She
has now spindles which may be
brought into play in lS95-'96, which
with fair trade conditions should in
crease her total to at least 250, 900. In
1890 North Carolina consumed ia, ,00O
bales. So your State has practically
doubled her cotton manufacturing
within the past five years."

Ago-Left Home and Has Never
Returned-The Wife Married
Again-Threats She Made
There is remarkable sensation at
Hickory, Catawba county. Seventeen
years ago John Mcguire married Eu-
phonia Bolick, the belle of the place.
He suspected her faithIessness within
three years after their marriage and
became insanely jealous. One night
he shot her in the breast ana she was
found lying on back street of the
town. She recovered. He was tried,
pleaded his own case, and spent a
year in Jail. Then he and his wife
made peace. Soon after one evening
he left home saying he was going to
the house of his brother, three miles
away.
He never returned. Searching par
ties examined the country for miles,
but TO no purpose His widow, whose
behavior caused much comment and
also hints, i'll few weeks married Ja-
cob Halier. They lived together am
icably until five weeks ago, when he
made her angry. She told him he
might disappear as John Maguire did.
He left the next day, but not until he
had told a horrible story. He said
Maguire's ghost had returned to de-
maGd vengeance: that in dense
thicket the wonan's brother had laid
in walt for Mcguire and shot him.
Haller said he was also present and
that Maguire's body was buried Din
this lonely thicket. One day last
| week search was made for the grave
| and it was found, but the body had
been removed. Haller now claims
that he was drunk when he told of the
