Let No Man be Deceived.

charlotte News.
Senator Marion Butler, in his
speeches in this county, labored to
make silver Democrats believe that
he was willing to lay aside party for
silver. His object is to persuade
them to do the same thing, hoping
thereby to induce them to vote the
Populist ticket.
We hope no silver man in Mecklen-
burg will be fooled by this hollow
pretense We do not believe for an
instant that Senator Butler would
vote the Democratic ticket next year
if it's platform declared for free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to /, and
every one OF it's nominees endorsed it.
He hasn't the remotest idea of
voting the Democratic ticket. His
chief aim and desire today is to dis
satisfy Democrats and induce them
to join the Populist party. Let no
one be deceived into following him.
Our honest belief is that he is
pledged to support Pritchard for the
Senate next year. This would mean
a continuance OF fusion which is, and
ought to be, distasteful to every
honest Populist. Read what the
Salisbury World says about the
speaking there last week. 1t says:
"No two brothers could have been
more affectionate than Senators
Butler and Pritchard at the fusion
rally yesterday, and no two parties
could be more widely separated in
political faith than these two expo
nents of the win-as-you can method.
Senator Buffers party las declared
for free silver; Pritchard's for a gold
standard. Butler for a low tariff;
Pritchard's for protection. And in
every declaration of principles the
parties which they represent are dis
tinctly antagonistic. Yet we find
them speaking from the same plat
form and duping the people into the
belief that they are ore and the same
That Pritchard is Butler and Butler
is Pritchard."
If Butler is friend of silver and
the people, let him repudiate his
alliance with the Republican party
known of all men as the gold-bug
party. He cannot fool thoug htful
men into believing that he is a friend
of the people while he forms an
alliance with their enemies to secure
office

NEW ENTERPRISES
Projected in the South During the
Past Week.

Reports to the Baltimore ManuS
facturer's Record show that the list
of new enterprises projected in the
South during the past week was
somewhat less than for several pres
ceding weeks, but this does not in
dicate any slackening in the general
industrial advancement of this sec,
ton.
The fertilizer combination which
has been formed to include eight of
the leading fertilizer manufactu>
rers in Virginia and North Carolina
will haye a capital stock af $6,500,>
900. 1t is intended by the com bina,
ton to operate all of the plants
which are included in it, but it is
hoped to reduce the cost of producs
ton very materially. Cotton mill
enterprises include a 15. .000>spindle
mill at La Grange Georgia, for
which bids are being invited. and
the decision of the owners of mill
at Anderson, S. c., to double its ca,
pacitv by adding $4,000 spindTes-
the increase to be made largely out
of the surplus earnings after hav,
ing declared good dividends. A
Wilmington mill will add 300 looms.
Among other enterprises reported
for the week were a knitting mill
and a woodworking plant in Geor>
gia; the proposed development by
Western capitalists of 100 900 acres
of timber, coal and oil lands in Kene
lucky and Tennessee; a thirty ton
cotton seed oil mill and 600-barrel
oil refinery and an ice plant in Loue
isiana; an architectural iron foun-
dry, water works and $500 900 ir>
rigation company in Texas and miss
cellaneous enterprises in other
States. Iron interest continue very
active but plumber of furnaces
which would go into blast under the
present high prices of iron are une
able to do SO on account of inability
to secure ore and coke on short no
tice, the output of mines now in
operation being fully absorbed by
the furnaces in blast. During the
week one furnace at Midd eshorough
was blown in and another furnace
at the same place will probably start
within a few weeks, to be followed
later on by the large steel works
which were built in connection with
these furnaces just before the Bars
ring failure. English capitalists
are negotiating to purchase the ma
chime shop aud IRON works built at
MlddlesborCugh at a cost of half
million dollars several years ago,
and if the sale is made this plant,
which has never been in operation
since built, will be started up.

WINSTON WAS STIRRED.
What the Editor of the N. @. Baptist
Thinks of Sam Jones.

Editor John A. Oates, Jr., of the
North Carolina Baptist, has this to
say Of the recent meeting held in
Winston:
"We heard Sam Jones, the evange-
list, in Winston, last week for five
days. He is a hard man to estimate;
today he is scathing and relentless in
his denunciations and uses the bit
terest and harshest language, often
bordering on the vulgar and question
able, and tomorrow his words are as
pure and chaste as the spOtlesS lily
and his sermons tender and touching.
He has lost none Of his old fire and
his own quaint, peculiar way of put
ting things is his, and his alone.
Withal Sam Jones does good. He
reaches rough and uncouth men; he
draws large crowds and impresses
them; he denounces all manner of sin
in all manner Of places. His ways are
grating at times, but it is all in Gods
hands. We may not like the means
but the results are often momentous.
Winston was stirred-professors and
non-professors put a-thinking. We
are not without our conyictions, yet
we are not disposed to criticize man
that has done so much good"

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR UNION.
Second Annual Convention TO be Held
in Greensboro in April, 1896

Z The State Executive Committee OF
the North Carolina Christian En-
deavor Union, met in Greensboro
last week to transact business relating
to the religious organization.
Rev. A. D. Th8ler, of Winston, is
president of the Union and he was
present at the meeting last week
He tells THE SENTINEL that the COM
mittee decided to hold the second an
nual convention in Greensboro in
April, 1896. The exact date will be
decided upon later, but it will be on
or near the middle of the month.
The first convention was held in Win
ston-Salem last April.
The committee decided to appoint
district superintendents throughout
the State to look after the work in
their respective sections. A few OF
these were appointed, as follows:
Asheboro district, DR.. 9. Q. Hub
bard.
Guilford district, Prof. Geo. w.
White of Guilford College.
Henderson district, Rev. T. M.
Johnson.
Appointments for Winston, Will
mingtoD, Charlotte and AsheYille
districts will be made later.
The committee decided to ask Miss
Pattie Norman, of Dabney, n. c., to
act as Junior Superintendent for
the State at large.
The 10th day Of November was ap-
pointed as North Carolina day when
all of the local societies will be ex-
pected to hold special services and
take collections for the State work.
1t was decided when the Union was
organized that all expenses ;of the
State convention be paid out of the
funds held by the State treasurer.
A program will be arranged and
suggested for North Carolina day.
Later the committee will begin work
on the program for the annual con-
ventiOn.
The committee discussed various
matters looking to the growth and
work OF the State Union. 1t recon-
mended that wherever possible the
Christian Endeavor Societies invite
all Young Peoples Societies to an
occasional joint meeting, upon the
broadcast basis of fellowship.
Mr. Tbaler says that he sees great
possibilities for work along this line
in Winston. He thinks the various
church organizations can do great
good by using their influence against
the whiskey traffic. Like other ag-
gressive Christian workers he is anX-
ious to see Winston rid of bar rooms.

A Letter from AlexanderIH. Stephens.

In looking over the papers OF the
late Judge Mebane, Mr.. w. f. Carter,
of Mt Airy. found letter from the
great commoner, Alexander HI. Ste
phens, OF Georgia, to George L. Aiken,
Esq, of Rockingham county. Mr.
Aiken was a rich farmer and promi-
nent citizen of Rockingham. 1t
seems from the tenor of the letter,
which was written in April 1869, that
Mr. Aiken had written to Mr.. Ste
phens demonstrating with him about
his position on public questions. The
letter was in reply to this, and con-
tained Mr.. Stephens views of public
affairs before. during and after the
war, with prophecy as to the future
Of the country, which, Mr.. Carter tells
the News, is being fulfilled to the
letter.

APPLIED FOR A PENSION.
Mr.. Elijah Walker. of Pender County,
aged 1O1 Years.

The State Auditor has received an
application for pension from a most
interesting character, namely, Elijah
Walker, a we'll known citizen of
Moore's township, Pender county,
this State. Mr.. Walker is now 101
years Old (his age is duly recorded) and
he enlisted as volunteer in the Con-
federate service when 81 years old,
although past the age of exemption
OF military service. He fought all
through the war and was severely
wounded. several times, having been
shot ia both hands, which labter
wounds partly disabled him. Not
withstanding this fact, however, he
has refused to accept the pension he
was entitled to from the State, on the
ground that he "did unot think it
right as long as he was able to sup
port himself" Now, however, he
says <that he is no longer able to
"make a living" and he has applied
for the pension for the future, but for
no "back arrearages." His applica-
tion was promptly granted, and, as
the Auditor remarked, 1t is refresh
ing to meet with such d case in these
days OF pension sharks and swindlers.

PRICE OF LEMONS AWAY UP.
They Reach $1O.5O Box-the, High
est in Twenty Years.

The indications are that we will
have to pay high prices for lemons
this winter. Not for twenty years
has there been such scarcity of them
in this country. The blizzard which
swept over the Florida peninsula last
December ruined the crop in that
section, consequently Italy and Spain
are the two countries that are now
supplying US with the fruit.
The supply in the former country
is short, too. this year, and when the
recent warm wave created an abnor-
NAL demand for lemons the supply on
the spot was not sufficient to go round.
In New York Wednesday it is said
the price was driven up to $40 so box,
the highest in twenty years. 1t is
said that several importers have
made fortunes off of lemons within
the past two months.
