Ur2e This State to be Represented at

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Col. T. K. Bruner, OF the
Agricultural Experiment Depart
ment, relative to the representa-
tion of the State at the Atlanta Expo
sition:
"Hon. T. K. Bruuer, Raleigh, N. G.
Dear Sir: Your kind favors of
the 10Th and 10Th inst. received
Please accept my thanks for the same,
as they both give me valuabl informa-
tiOn.
81 regret to hear that your Legisla-
ture failed to make an appropriation
to have your exhibit at the Atlanta
Exposition. | think this is serious
loss to US all, as North Carolina has
done so much to advertise the whole
South Atlantic States at the former
expOsitions. l trust yet you may find
some way to take your very valuable
collection to Atlanta. We have no
State appropriation, but have appeal
ed to the people to do this work, and
are meeting with much encourage
ment.
81 enclose copy TO you Of the Gov
ernor's proclamation bearing on this
subject. You may lay this matter be-
fore Governor Carr, who may do like
wise. Yours truly,

A GREAT MEETING.
Baptist aud Methodist Churches at
Ramseur Get New Members


Rev. S. F. Conrad furnishes THE
SENTINEL with the following report
! of the meeting at the Baptist church
/ at Ramseur. which closed Tuesday
night, April 23rd.
In some respects this was one of the
most remarkable meetings | have been
in for sometime. Rev. J. t. Jenkins
is preacher Of rare gifts and power.
He completely captured the little
town. L never saw people show more
marked appreciation of any ones work
than his there. There are some things
about Ramseur of an unusual nature.
The owners of the property there and
the operatives are all on level social
ly. They might intermingle on the
freest and easiest terms, and they all
work. There are no loafers in town
and everything moves on with perfect
system and order. a large per cent
of the operatives own their own prop
erty and possess neat and comforta BILE
homes.
Musical talent is highly developed
among the people, and many will
never forget the pleasant gatherings
for music both in the social circle and
the house Of God. The meeting there
reached all classes and was one of
great power. the converts must have
reached up toward a hundred or more.
Up to the close last night the Baptists
had received thirty-t1ve additions
with the prospect of many others join
ing. The Methodist brethren will
come in for good share of the results
L have never seen the spirit of chris
tian unity more manifest than in this
meeting There was the fullest and
freeSt cooperation in the work on the
part Of all. The baptismal scene on
Sunday evening last, was very solemn
and impressive, in the presence of
many hundred of people. Would
that there were many more towns like
Ramseur. S. f. CONRAD

THE MODERN RUTH.
An Impressive Story Told by Rev. Ml
Caldwell, of Winston

An impressive Story Told by Rev Mr.
Caldwell, of Winston
From the Asheville Citizen.)
Sunday evening Rev. Mr.. Cald we'll
closed his sermon at the First Preshy-
terian church with the story of a
Jewess, who deserves to be called the
modern Ruth. She is daughter of
the Rothschilds, now in exile from her
fathers home. Her maid attended
the Moody meetings in London, was
converted. and brought her mist ress
to Jesus. the King OF the Jews. She
revealed The secret of conversion to
her brother. He, too, found the
savior and openly confessed Him
For this he was ostraciZed. and
came to a america, settling in Minpeap-
oils.
The sister: no longer able to be a
secret disciple, wrote to her brother
that she must follow him, and he met
her In New York and took her to his
home. When Mr. Moody was holding
meetings in Louisville in 1888, he tele-
graphed this Christian Jewess to come
from Minneapolis. He told her story
al the close of one OF his sermons. aud
then treated the vast audience in a
wonderful surprise by turning to the
choir and calling on a beautiful
young woman of the Jewish type to
sing. She sang out of full hear,
and rich experience that beau i.ul
hymn:
I've found a friend a friend in Jesus,
He's everything to me-
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
The Lily of Valley
In Him alone | see
All | need to cleanse and make me whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort
In trouble He's my stay
He tells me every care on him to roll
He's the Lilly of the Valley"
The bright and morning star,
He's the fa'rest of ten thousand to my soul

Southern School Book.

from the AIldnLa
We are glad to observe that south
ern writer's are turning their ntten-
tion more and more to the work OF
preparing textbooks for the schools.
The field is wide one and there is a
reasonable amount of profit in it
We do not mean to say that Il
textbook by a southern author is n
rarity, but we do mean to say that
not until lately have Southern -ch''l
ars seriously turned their attention
to the preparation of tex books for
the schools. We hear from various
sources that several weil-known
Georgians will shortly Come b-fore
the public as the authors uf text
books. What is more, The critics 10
whom their books have b on sub
mitted find something unique aud
original in each-so that these new
books are to be real contributions
to the needs of the time.
We think the educators ut The
South ought to take a pride in in
PRODUCING these textbooks, not he
cause they are southern alon', but
because they are both Southern add
meritOrious We do not Use the
word Southern in any sectional
sense, and yet the absence of south
ern textbooks has opened the way
for various northern histories with
decided sectional tendencies. A text
book by a southern autho "rh-r
things being equal, ought To npi"'s'l
in some degree to the local Pr"i.- "t
those who have in hand the seize ion
of textbooks for Southern sc'o IL.
If they come up to the m"a-iir. "i
merit, preference ought to be given
to them, to the end that Sou1i"rl
scholarship and southern y. 'iluS
may occupy at least a part of M
important field of letters.

large horse slaughtering and packing
industry had been started in Port

law compelling such meats to be
labeled, as in the case of Oleomargarine

meat, as government inspection of
slaughtered cattle is made and gov

South for the week ending April %
are to the effect that the recent con
tinued advancein the price of cotton,
the increased firmness in the iron
market and the steady demand for
the products of southern coal mines
have caused marked improvement

circlas. The New Orleans cotton
factors report that adjustments with
the growers have been more prompt
and satisfactory than for several
years. The output of iron is well
maintained.

AN INFAMOUS DEED.
A Shoe Store Ent red and Number
tf Shoes Cut Up

IF Shoes Cut Up
Wilmington was all agOg last
week over most despicable and cow
ardly outrage, perpetrated the night
before upon the owner of shoe store.
The Messenger says when the store
door was opened Wednesday morning
it was discovered that the counters
were strewn with shoes and that they
had been wantonly slaShed across the
vamps with a sharp knife. The viii
lain who did it had deliberately pulled
down the boxes containing the best
shoes on both sides of the store. and
in some instances drawing the knife
across both the wright" and cleft"
shoes and in others slashing up only
one shoe iD box. The desk had
been ransacked and the papers in the
pigeon-holes and drawers had been
pulled out and scattered all over the
top of the desk and on the floor.
1t is presumed that the scoundrel
was after money and not finding any,
he conceived and executed the deviltry
mentioned above.

ABOUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Monday in June.
State Superintendent Scarborough
says that the public schools will, after
the first Monday in June, be entirely
without supervision, as the Legisla-
ture wiped out entirely this feature of
the school system.
The duties of county superintend-
ents were three-fold-the general su-
pervisirn n of the schools. the examina-
tion of teachers, and to act as clerk to
the board of education. The first and
third duties have been abolished,
while the examination of teachers is
put into the hands of county
examiner, who is appointed by the
clerk of the superior court. The
county superintendents now holding
office were elected last June to serve
two years; their terms began July 1st.
1894, and po not expire until July 1st,
1896. The Legislature did not wipe
out all the duties of the office and it
is aquestion whether the superintend-
ents are entitled to perform the duties
and receive the compensation of coun-
ty examiners until their terms expire,
July 1St 1895.
Blanks for the school census are now
being sent out. The township boards
will take the census between now and
the first of June. These township
boards will be elected the first Monday
in June by the county boards Of edu
cation.

How to Preserve Old Manuscripts.

The paper or document, after being
cleaned or brushed, is washed on both
sides with transparent adhesive solu-
tion. Sheets Of imported white silk Of
the most delicate fabric, large enough
to give an ample margin Or border to
surround the document to be preserved,
are then placed on each side of the rec
ord and pressed. The pressure causes
the silk to adhere closely to the doou-
ment, which is then treated to a coating
Of paraffin for the purpose Of bringing
out and making more legible the writ
ing thereon. This process seals the docu-
ment permanently from any danger Of
disintegration or fading Of the ink, and
also is protection against insects or
mice, which might prey upon the an
cient records.
