RAILROAD TALK.

Referring to the rumor that the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad cortem
plated extending its operations into
North Carolina, the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle asks:
"BuU why should the Baltimore
and Ohio Road and the city of
Baltimore consider only such halt
way enterprise as this, when there is
an entirely feasible one of so much
larger proportions? Why should
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad let
it's Southern exploit terminate in
North Carolina, when there are
fertile fields. prosperous, productive
mines, successful factories and cities
10 be reached with comparatively
little outlay in South Carolina aud
Georgia? Why not push her South
ern extension straight down to
Augusta and into the South in
eernest?"
The Chronicle then suggests that
by building connecting links for
short distances and securing short
lines already iii existence the Balti-
more & Ohio can easily push it's way
down into the South
One of the ways pointed out for
accomplishing this object is by the
purchase oil the Port Royal & Vest
ern Carolina road, which is soon to
be sold, and by building a connecting
link from Winston, N. c., to Spartan
burg, S. c., only little over one
hundred miles.
This would put Winston on a
through line between the North and
South and it is to be hoped that
such will be the outcome of this rail
road talk.

Fashion Chat

Washington Post.
The good tas tie that has reignod so
long in foot gear is to give way to
freakishness, and we shall have
stockings of one color and shoes
and slippers of another All sorts
of openwork and embroidery will
add to the attractiveness OF the
silken web that women will draw
over their pretty feet, and in some
cases the stocking seems far too
delicate and elaborate to withstand
the wash tub. Where ornamental
ton is carried so far as to inte ferp
with ease of necessary cleaning and
washing, then vulgarity turks. TO
be sure, professional cleapsars carry
on a weakly sort OF department
where clothes too delicate for the
wash tub are put through a cleaning,
and many women p tronize such
departments regularly, still it seems
far more sensible to Wear stockings
that are less delicate and to feel
them nice and clean from home suds
each week.

and this is sometimes done even il it
be known that success was won by
disreputable methods. Then, why
kick SO high and SO hard because a
preacher possesses the wonderful
power of swaying multitudes and
among other good results brings his
auditors to a practical exemplifica-
ton of the virtue of liberality? May
not this very loosening of the purse
strings rebound to the benefit of the
poorly paid pastors, by opening the
eyes of the parishioners to their
former stinginess?
Let up on Sam. He is a great man
and a power for good and will con
tinue to merit and receive liberal
compensation for his services. He
has got there through many trials
and tribulations and is likely to stay
there.

COLUMBUS. O.. Sept 80 The sil>
yer D mocrats of Ohio will conduct
a fight for the white metal, during
the state campaign. in spite of the
declaration of the State convention
in favor of the single gold standard
There was a conference of promi,
nent free silver men in the party
at the Office of Allen W. Thurman
Saturday, at which this course was
determined upon. Among those
present at the Conference, were L.

Cieveland; ] A. Norton, of Tlffin;
Col " A. TAYLOR, of Colum bus, and
l.. A. Russell, of Cleveland. 1t was
decided to organize for work in ac~
cordance with the plans adopted at
the conference of the friends of free
silver held at Washington recently,
and to this end State central cons
mittee, consisting of one member
from each congressional district,
was selected. This committee will
meet here on October 7th and cleo.
an executive committee to; conduct
the free silver campaign. The free
sill, er advocates explain that they
do not propose to oppose the Demo>
cratic State ticket but their propos
ed action will necessarily EN- barrass
the managers of the Democratic
State campaign to some extent.

LET UP ON SAM

Since our reference to the Concord
Standards fling at Sam Jones, we
notice that three or four other State
papers have jumped on Sam and the
people because of the s'lavish'' sum
that he receives for preaching ALI
of these express great commisera-
ton for the poorly paid local pas
tors" We admit that some pastors
deserve pity on account of the scanty
provision made for them and that
the people who permit such a condi-
ton should be heartily ashamed of
it, but the question arises, what has
Sam Jones to do with it? Does any
pastor receive less because of what
Sam gets? One of the editors who
argued along the poorly paid pastor
line was our esteemed friend of the
Wilmington Messenger, and when we
read what he had to say we thought
he would not be willing to take his
own medicine and have his income
reduced because there are SO many
poorly paid editors ia the country.
Would he? Nay, verify.
When q professional man or llusi-
ness man commands high salary
or builds up q profitable business,
people are ready to sound his praise
and put him down & great fellow,

THAT SILVER CONVENTION.

THAT SILVER CON VENT1ON.
The Democrats that withdrew from
the Smith Mott Butler Convention
lid tie best thing in sight, after hav
ing committed the folly of mixing up
with the enemy. 1t seems that such
men as Jarvis, Carr and Ashe should
have known too well the propensity
of tie Rep Pop. leaders to ''ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain to have Leen caught mapping.
TIE SENTINEL is out and. out for
free coinage, but it favors settling
this question within the Democratic
party-the free coinage party. Too
many vital interests are dependent
upon the perpetuity of Democratic
government in North Carolina to
think of lowering the Democratic
banner, and it behooyes all Demo-
Gratis, whatever their views upon
currency, to stand together in a
common fight against q common
enemy, under whatsoever name that
enemy marches.
All along we deprecated the con
glomerated silver convention and
when the call was first issued we
sounded a note of warning against
it, as endangering the Democrat tic
cause To their credit be it said, not
a single silver Democratic newspaper
in the State endorsed the call or
fostered the idea.
Perhaps the result Of the Conven-
ton will serve as q warning and
thus counterfeit it's evil tendency.

About 3 O'Clock today, during a
