Black Boy and Gold Nugget.
From the Greensboro Record.

For a small negro boy to pick up a
chunk of gold weighing eight pounds,
or about that, worth just about 49,
900, is rather unusual good fortune.
That is exactly what Jupiter Debar-
ry, of North Carolina, did week or
so ago, and the nugget is now in Wall
street. New York. Moreover, the
boys regular occupation is picking
up nuggets. A little syndicate Of
Wall street spectators got hold Of a
piece Of property in North Carolina
last winter, where nuggets of pure
gold lie around loose On the ground,
and they have people employed regu-
iarly, on daily wages, picking up the
valuable metal.
This particular one is the largest
found up to date, but Jupiter Debar-
ry and the other colored youths in
Stanley county are vastly excited over
the prospect of finding more and big
ger ones. There are plenty OF smaller
ones found from time to time, but
they only serve to keep up the excite
ment.

A CHARMING RESIDENCE.
DIR. SEWERS NEW HOME, "CE-
DARHYRST," IN SALEM.
Built of Indiana Stone-Ready for
Occupancy-A Model Palace
Splendid Workmanship.

Winston and Salem have number
Of lovely residences, but perhaps the
most charming and modern Of them
all is DR.. N S. Siewers' lovely home
t"Cedarhyrst') which has just been
completed at a cost-no one knows but
the doctor.
1t is model residence in both
architecture and convenience.
A SENTINEL reporter was shown
through the attractive mansion few
days since.
it is a two-story palace, with base
ment and garrett, built of Indiana
stone. There are five rooms on the
first floor, six on the second, with two
pretty rooms in the garrett.
The interior is grand. Fine material
and workmanship are SHOWN in every
nook and corner.
With one exception the rooms on
the second floor are finished In pine,
with oak fioors-all highly polished
and showing their natural colors. The
closets are lined with cedar. The
Siewers is finished with red birch, ex-
cept the floor, which is oak. On the
left is the bed room for their daugh-
tiers and on the right for their sons.
The parlor is a beauty-fnished in
maple with the floors laid in herring
bone fashion.
The Doctors office is Of antique oak
and is lifted up with every convent
ence for physician.
The sitting-room is finished with
birch, while the dining-room is dark
antique oak. In the latter is lovely
side board, and it was made at the
shops of Messrs. Fogle Bros. The de-
sign and workmanship of the side
board and mantel in this room are not
only handsome but creditable.
There are three bath rooms in the
buildlng-one on each floor.
The building will be heated by hot
water. A convenient coal bin and
smoke house are fitted up in the base
ment.
The hard wood finishing and wall
tinting in this model home was done
by Proctor & Clinard, and no one
who sees the interior of the building
can but admire the work, which is
handsomely executed. The different
kinds of hard wood, maple, red birch,
oak, ETC., are made to show their
natural coloring, with high grade
piano polish. Their work speaks for
itself and is splendid exhibit of
what hcme talent can do. Parties
having work in this line would do well
to confer with Messrs. Proctor & Gil
nard before making contracts.
DR.. and Mrs. SieWerS expect to
move into their new home next week.

The Farmers in This lection Urged to
Raise Broom Corn.

Raise Broom Corn.
To the Editors of the Sentinel.I
Please allow me brief space in the
columns of your valuable paper to call
special attention Of our farming pop
ulation to very important farm in
dustry that possibly had not occurred
to them. 1t is useless for me to sug-
gest the propriety, and indeed the
necessity. of a diversity of farm
products. l trust We have all thor
oughly learned this important lesson
from the"experience of the past. l
am informed that a broom factory
will be started in Winston sOOn-poS-
sibly within the next month. l have
made it special point to correspond
with successful agriculturaliSts in the
broom corn districts of the North
western portion of the United States,
as well as with our own best farmers,
and the A. & M. College, at Raleigh,
and they say our soil is admirably
adapted to the growth of broom
corn. Now, there is great deal more
profit in broom corn culture than one
would at first imagine. The stalk is
an excellent fertilizer, the fodder
good food for cattle and other stock,
the seed very fattening for hogs
and cattle, and the broom corn
sells readily at from l! to 6 cents
per II. Then we see there are four
distinct sources of profit in this val
liable farm product, l find the seed
can be bought at 10 cts. per tb., or
$3.50 per bushel. Let me urge upon
our farmer friends to plant at least
a few acres in broom corn this year.
If l can be of any service in the way
of additional information, consider
me at your service.

EWART DECLARED JUDGE.
Supreme Court Says Gov. Carr Had nc
Right TO Appoint Jones

Supreme Court Says Gov. Carr Had no
Right TO Appoint Jones.
The Legislature at its last Esession
created two new criminal courts-one
in the Eastern district and one in the
Western district For the former
district they elected Congressman
Hamilton G. Ewart judge. Ewart
applied to Governor Carr for his COM
mission, but the Governor refused to
issue it, holding that while the LegiS-
lature could create courts it could not
elect judge to I'LL the vacancy, and
in this case there was vacancy, as
eighteen days had elapsed between
the date of Ewart's election and, his
application for his commission. The
Governor then appointed and com
missioned Thos. A. Jones a Judge.
Ewart sued Jones for the title of the
position. Jones won in the lower
court, but the Supreme court reversed
the ruling and declared Ewart entitled
to the place. The court says Governor
Carr had no authority, either under
the constitution or under the Legisla-
tive act to appoint Jones.

KIND WORDS FOR OUR" JUDGE.
Officially Speaking he will not Return
to Raleigh for Six Years.


to Raleigh for Six Years.
From yesterdays News and Observer.
Judge Starbuck left yesterday for
his home in Winston. The April
term of the Superior court closed Sat
urday, but the Judge stayed over yes
terday to hear and dispose finally of
the Cram case in Chambers. The rule
being that each Superior Court Judge
holds two terms year in each of the
II districts, Judge Starbuck cannot
be expected to officially return be-
fore six years, unless by exchange or
from other fortuitous cause. But
Judge Starbuck in the Ellington case
ordered Secretary Coke not to produce
the journal officially, but suggested
that he produce it voluntarily. The
journal, though it did not come offici-
ally. came ali the same. So that
Judge Starbuck's otficiaka bsence may
not, after all, mean d real separation
from the people Of Raleigh, from
whom, even in so short a time, he has
won by his gentle bearing, high
mindedness and'ability, universal good
word and esteem.
