The South is getting its eyes open
to the Importance of diversified in
dustries. This is the keynote to an
unprecedented era of prosperity for
this section. In this connection we
notice that preparations are being
made at Valdosta, Georgia, for a
pork packing establishment. The
managers have already contracted
for three thousand fat hogs to be
delivered next season. Commenting
upon this, the Baltimore Sun says:
"The raising of the hogs will involve
very little additional expense on the
part of the farmers, SO that the cash
they receive for them will be SO much
extra money put into circulation in
the neighborhood. This would not
be considered a big thing in the West,
where in some of the stock-yarGs
thousands of hogs are slaughtered
daily, but it means much in Georgia,
where even the farmers heretofore,
with but few exceptions, have de-
pended on the West for eirsupplies
of meat"

AN EXPLANATION.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer inadvertently re-
ports Mr.. Lineback Incorrectly in
stating that the bill introduced in
the General Assembly changing the
wards of Winston was done at
Mayor Gray's request. The Mayor
states that the request applied only
to the amendments to the original
bill, as explained by Mr.. Lineback,
and as correctly reported il the Raj
eigh News and Observer.
He further states that after the
original bill was Introduced and it
was ascertained there would be no
use to oppose it's political features,
a request was made that certain
provisions in the bill, herein after
mentioned, be stricken out and the
amendments referred to by Mr.. Line
back were for this purpose.
The bill provided that the section
of the charter in regard to the five
per cent penalty for non-payment o.
city taxes on or before the 1st day
of January be repealed and as to
This it was requested that the law
should be changed only to the extent
of the LIST of January The bill pro
vided also for a repeal of the sections
of the charter which give the Mayor
Jurisdiction over the territory eX
tending a mile from the corporate
limits and it was requested that the
law be allowed to remain as it now
is, inasmuch as this was regarded
as Of great Importance not only to
the people of the city but to those
living just outside of the city limits
The bill provided, too. for a repeal
of tie sections of the city charter in
regard to side walk paving and the
request in this connection was that
the law be allo we'd in this repect also
to remain.
Mayor Gray says the original bill
introduced in the General Assembly
was a Republican measure and of
course could not have been intro
duced with his consent. As to the
non-political features of the bill,
about which the requests were made,
however, he believes the justice of
them will be recognized by those in
charge OF the bill.

SHOT HIM TWICE.
A Fiddle and a Pistol, Liquor and a
Free For All Fight.

Greensboro had a shooting scrape
Saturday night. The difficulty oc-
Cured at a saloon. A colored man
named Abe Gorrell was shot in the
hand and thigh by w. E. Steele, fore
man of the bridge force on this
division OF the Southern Railway.
The negroes condition is thought not
to be serious, but he fell in his tracks
after he was shot and had to be carried
home.
1t is said that Abe was playing a
fiddle and Steele wanted him to keep
on, but he refused unless he was paid
They became engaged in a controversy
and in moment somebody threw a
bottle, who it was, is not yet clear.
Then followed the shooting 1t was
all done in moment, and Steele
walked out and took the train for
Burlington, where he lives. He re-
turned to Greensboro yesterday morn
ing and was taken in custody by the
officers. He waived examination and
was held in bond of 5000 for his APP
pearance before the grand jury, now ia
session.
A railroad man tells the Record
that Steele has been discharged by the
company on account of the row and
that he is now out of a job.

WILL THERE BE A STRIKE E?

The Employers Decline to Accept the
Schedule of the Southern.
1t is understood that the commit
tee representing the conductors, en-
gineers, firemen and brakemen on the
Southern Railroad declined to accept
the terms of schedule as proposed by
Vice-President Baldwin. Everything
pertaining to the question of settles
ment is kept secret. and neither the
employees nor railway officials will
give out any information for publica-
tion. Matters are evidently badly com
plicated, but both sides are hopeful
that satisfactory agreement will be
reached in a few days The commit
tee, it is said, will draw up a PROPOSE
tion and submit to the company. The
schedule submitted by Mr. Baldwin
would reduce the salaries of some Of
the employees, and raise on others.
The wages of Conductors Stagg and
Hawkins, it is learned. would tie re-
duced from SS1 to SIS per month,
while the baggage masters on their
passenger trains would get raise Of
about ten dollars per month.

Wanted to See III is Sick Child.
rom the Mt Airy News |

A drummer came through from
Hillsville last Friday on horseback, a
distance of twenty-h five miles. 1t cost
had very sick child at home and as
be could not learn anything of its con-
dition he determined to go home at
practically any cost. He could have
reached the railroad at Bette Baker
six miles on the other side of Hilsville,
but as that would have been going in
the very face OF the wind he would
probably have frozen to death in at
tempting the journey. Coming this
way the cold was not near so intense,
especially as be had the wind to his
back and was protected largely 10y the
mountains.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review for the
Week Ending Feb. 10th.

Another very dull weak on the
Winston leaf market, cue to contin-
ued and unusually bad weather. The
number of SHOWS we have had the past
two or three weeks would furnish Il
plenty for two or three of our ordinary
winters
Breaks have been small, and there
is very little to say of them. The
offerings were of an average character
for the present crop, and prices were
about as usual. The roads are in a
very rough condition. Even with u
period OF fair weather soon, it must
be some time before we have full re-
ceiptS again.
Manufacturers are making good
shipments daily. There is, however,
some complaint of slow collections.
Manufactured tobacco shipments
kept up pretty we'll Business this
week was very good, as the figures fol-

Correspondence of the Sentinel.
JOLIET, Feb. Is Robert Coving
ton, colured, got killed this morning
by a falling tree. The tree is on the
old home place of the late John IL.
Shore and has been known as the
big hollow poplar" There was
room enough in the hollow trunk at
the ground TO furnish standing room
ter eleven men at one time. Henry
Kent, colored, cut the tree off last
week, but owing to the tree being SO
well balanced and not very heavy,
caused by being hollow and not very
tail, would not tall. Knowing it to
be dangerous in that position for
passersoy, Kent went out this morn
ing to make it fall. After working
awhile young Covington went to
help him fell i5 bu5 had only struck
few strokes when the tree started

WE publish today some extracts
from a circular letter recently issued
by the management of the Southern
Railway Company to the employees
of that system with reference to the
request for restoration of the rates
of pay in effect prior to the reduction
made in October, 1898. We think
the Southern has done the proper
thing in thus presenting facts and
figures for the consideration of the
employees, instead of meeting them
with an unexplanatory and naughty
refusal. This action is coincident
with another article to be found in
this issue, which we had clipped be-
fore considering this circular letter,
and which treats of the way to pre-
vent strikes. Almost every contro
versy has at least two sides and we
await with interest the reply of the
employees, which The SENTINEL, in
spirit OF fairness, will give equal
prominence.

Diversified Farming.

From the Monroe Ga, Advertiser.
The farmer who devotes three
fourths of his time TO producing corn,
wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay, peas,
potatoes, poultry, meat and vege-
tables, and one fourth to producing
cotton, will never be heard grumbl-
ing and complaining because he is in
debt and has no money with which
to pay his debts Nor will he be
heard vilifying those entrusted with
the administration of the govern
ment, because they do not latter
money over the face of the earth like
leaves. Such farmers will see the
bright side of life and be cheerful.

REFERRING to the presence of Sena
tor-elect Butler upon the floor of the
House, few days ago, the Charlotte
Observer pprtinently remarks: 81
Ransom or Vance, after being elected
to the Senate, had gone on the floor
of the Legislature and given instruc
tions that resolution be put
through the body-the whole State
would have been scandalized and we
should have bad some remarks to
make about United States Senator's
meddling in matters which were none
OF their business; but the spectacle
of Legislature being run by a boss
has, in forty days, become familiar
one, aud this incident is referte to
not because it is far enough out OF
the ordinary to call for any special
emphasis, but only because it is
part of the history of the times"

Revenue Com missioner Miller, regard

attention is given the fact that while
some of those who are liable for the
tax may not be formally notified to

subjects them to a penalty of so per
cent. The returns must be made by

w hat One Hen Can Do,

From the Texas Farm and Ranch
Take an old speckIed hen, for in.

with II broom and chased out of the
garden by a worthless pup. Just
take that sort of an old fashioned
hen, and let's see: She lays at least
two dozen eggs and then goes to sit
ting on ID of her eggs The other
dozen pay her keep while she turns
eggs into chickens and while she is
scratching for them after they are
Matched and before being weaned
That sort of hen generally matches
10 out of the ID eggs and raises
eight of them, that sell for So. But
we must knock off 81 Tor their rails

two dozen eggs and sits again and
raises another lot of eight chickens,

OF again and put another dollar to
the credit of our old hen.
Well, then it's long toward mid
summer, and she lOafs awhile, and
then she takes another laying spell,
and lays another % eggs, and then
sits again, and brings ona full brood
that seil as before, and we credit her
vii b another dollar, the halt of the
produce of another hatch of eight
chickens, which makes So to her

Then she lays a little more and
sheds her feathers and knocks about
and scratches for living until
toward the holidays, when she takes
another spell of laying and lays a
good lot OF eggs hy Christ mas and
quits, but doesn't sit because it j.

IT is all right to encourage North
ern cotton manufacturers to come
South, but we should not depend
upon them entirely to build up this
industry, which promises to assume
gigantic proportions. The South
furnishes the field, the staple, the

South should reap more direct bene
