CrOp RulIetiD.

The reports Of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Monday,
May goth, indicate that the first five
days of the week were exceedingly I'M
favorable for the growth OF crops.
Such low temperatures rarely occur
in the middle II May. Frost occurred
in nearly every State on Wednesday
mornings varying in severity from
killing in the extreme West, where
snow and iceis also reported by two or
three correspondents TO very light in
the South Eastern counties. The
damage by frost alone is generally
thought to be not great, but the con-
tlnued cold weather, toget with
frost or one or two morning. Twas as
very hard on young cotton, corn and
beans, The damage cannot be coz
rectly estimated yet. The cold
weather brought out an army Of cut
worms and bugs in all sections of the
State. and corn and tobacco fields are
being attacked, with serious results
in many cases. A great deal Of corn
and cotton is being planted over,
and 1t will take some time to finish
this. Fruit is falling off badly, but
the prospect is still good for average
crop. Wheat and oats reported good
nearly everywhere.

The ceremonies of the unwilling of
North Cardinals monument to her
Confederate dead attracted to Raleigh
Monday the greatest crowd ever
assembled in North Carolina. All
parts Of the South were represented
and enthusiasm was unbounded. Raj
eigh was gay with bunting, and
National and Confederate colors float
ed lovingly together. There were six
thousand in the parade, which was in
four divisions and which had route
about three miles in length The
Ladies Monumental Association led
the way. Among its distinguished
guests were Mrs. Stonewall Jackson
and her little grandchild, Julia Jack
son Christian, who unveiled the mon
ument.
The exercises at the monument
began at o'clock. Chief Marshal Oh.
Carroll introduced Chaplain Smedes,
who delivered the invocation. Cap
tain S. A. Ashe made the address of
welcome. The Grafton by A. NJ. Wad-
dell followed and was heartily cheer

monument and Governor Carr accept

and the veil fell. There were great

mingtOn division of naval reserves
fired the governors salute of seven
teen guns. Ex-Governor Holt and
ex-Congressman w. H. III. Cowles then
spoke; this ended the the exercises.
Thirty-ffve thousand persons saw
the parade. No accident marred the
day and weather was perfect.
The monument is of Mt Airy
granite. It's height is y feet inches.
and it will be lighted by four bronze
electric lamps in clusters of three
each. Partly up the shaft stand two
bronze statues, one of cannonier
with a hammer in hands. On the side
opposite him is a cavalryman dis
mounted with sabre half drawn and
in very spirited attitude. On the
base are circular bronze medallions
with the seals respectively Of the Con-
There are two Inscriptions. One of
these is: "North Carolina to her
Confederate dead" and the other is:
"First at Bethel, last at Appomattox,
1S6l-1865." The main portion Of the
shaft is one block of stone twenty
seven feet high and weighing 5000
pounds. The monument is surmount
ed by the bronze figure of an infan-
tryman in light marching order,
standing in an easy attitude. with
musket lightly clasped with both
hands. This statue is ten feet high
and weighs $500 pounds, while the
two already mentioned are life sized.
All are from life, the models being
veterans living in Raleigh, and the
statues are pronounced very good. The
bronze work was done in the royal
foundry at Munich, Bavaria. The cost
of the monument was S25, 900, of which
the Legislature appropriated $40, 1000,
and the Ladies' Monumental Associa-
ton, of which Mrs. Armistead Jones,
of Raleigh, is president, collected S.
600 by popular subscription from all
over the State.

A SENTINEL Tepresentive called at
the Jail to see the mu -derer. He was
smoking a cigarette and exhibited no
signs of uneasiness. He said he was
10 years old but declined to discuss
his trouble. He has told others, how
ever, that he did not do the shooting.
A report has been circulated by
some of the colored people that Depu-

struck Mr.. Vickers. There are no
facts for such a statement, hence no

Arthur futile, Who Murdered Police
man Vickers.
Arthur futile, the slayer of Police
man Vickers, was sent to Greensboro
Monday for safe keeping. He was
carried from the Jail to the depot in
a closed carriage by Sheriff Macarthur
and Jailer Ziglar.
Tuttle appeared to be greatly excited
when he alighted from the carriage.He
was hurried into the depot, where he
was guarded until the train arrived
from Wilkesboro. This was only a
few minutes, however. After placing
the prisoner in the second class coach
officers were placed at each door to
keep the curious crowd out.
Few people knew that Tuttle Twas
to be sent away until his arrival at
the depot. The report spread like
wild fire, and before the train left
large scrowd had gathered, many of
whom took advantage of every Oppor
tunity to get glimpse Of the prison
er, who was escorted to Greensboro
by Deputy Sheriff Martin and Police
man Thompson.
A brother and sister of Arthur Tut
tie were at the depot, but were not
permitted to speak to him. The Sis
ter appeared to be much affected. She
said that the trouble would kill her
mother.

THE WATER WE DRINK.
Winston's Supply Equal, if Not SUI
perior, to Any in the State.

In the report of the engineer Of the
North Carolina Board Of Health, on
the Sanitary inspection Of the State
Institutions and the water supply and
sewerage disposals of cities and towns,
we find the following about Winston
The water works built by company
some years ago have been purchased
by the city and an additional supply
is being obtained. The present sup
ply is from wells and the new one is a
small branch fed by springs, which
gives a very satisfactory cwater
when not turbid from heavy rains.
Intercepting bitches have been cut
to keep out muddy water from quite
a portion of the water shed as well as
any household drainage. An ingenius
device will be used 10 keep the muddy
storm water from the upper end of
the branch out of the clear water
basin, and, in addition, the new sup
ply will pass through mechanical
filter. The water shed is quite free
from pollution, and with slight
amount of attention to guard against
contamination, this city will have a
water supply equal, il not superior, 30
any in the State. A system Of sewers
was built few years ago from plans
of J. L. Ludlow, @. e. The outfall

some distance from habitation, and

AN EXTRA SESSION OF COURT.
Gov. Carr Will be Asked to Grant One
for the Trial of futile.

A large number of colored people
congregated back of the jail Sunday
night. Some say they anticipated
that Tuttle would be taken out an
lynched. THE SENTINEL believes
that law and order will prevail and
that justice will be melted out to the
the prisoner-just as it should be.
Solicitor Mott made motion in
court Monday morning that the grand
jury, which was dismissed on Satur-
day, be recalled. Later it was de
cided that, owing to the large number
of cases on the State and Civil dockets,
to be disposed of at the present SEES
sion, it would be advisable to ask Gov.
Carr to call an extra session of court,
beginning June 18th, for the trial of
futile. There appears to be no doubt
that the Governor will grant the re
quest which will be forwarded to him
at once.

from him that the improvement in

the country. He says that it is particu-

it did Saturday, whenever the crowd

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journal Review for the
Week Ending May 18th.

The weather took a cold turn the
past week, and affected the leaf mar
ket as a matter Of course. Breaks
were light, and single sales were put
ON again.
The quality Of the offerings was
perhaps farther "off" than ever. the
low grades predominating by very
large majority. In fact, there was
hardly anything else to be seen on the
floors, good piles being unusually con-
spicuous by their absence.
Prices were fully up. There is good
request here for old wrappers and old
smokers.
The interest in wrappers grows.
Those manufacturers who have not
supplied their needs out of tue crop
marketed this year have to look sharp
to get what they want. More and
more smoking tobacco is being put up
in Winston, and this accounts for the
increased demand for smokers. This
branch of manufacture is assuming
important proportions.
A brisk business is being done in
manufactured stock. Good average
shipments were made this week.
The following are the revenue col
