SALEM.
WIN Ask for a Change of Schedule.

The evening train from Greensboro
to Winston pulls out of tue first named
place soon after the arrival of the
mail train from the North on the
main line of the Southern Railway,
and about two hours before the mail
train from the South comes in. 1t is
said that a paper will be drawn up,
and doubtless be pretty generally
signed, petitioning the Southern Rail-
way to change the time of departure
of this train from Greensboro, SO that
it will bring the mail from the South
here the same night. The tobacco
men claim that with the present
schedule the Southern mail, usually
heavy with orders, lies la Greensboro
until the following day, and it is near .
ly noon when it reaches this city and
is distributed. The result is much
Inconvenience, rush and worry, and

WHAT WILLTHE BELL Do?
WE CAN GET ANOTHER .TELE-
PHONE SYSTEM.

Number of Telephones in Use in the
Twin-City and the Cost of Same
The Bell People Here to Stay.
THE SENTINEL is advised that re-
liable company stands ready to estab-
! lish here frst-class telephone
| system.
1t is also stated that those who are
| now using phones could get the new
service for just half the amount they
are now paying, provided they would
agree to use no other phones so long
as the new system worked satisfac-
torily and the subscribers desired to
use phones.
The Bell Company now opera tes 147
phones in the Twin-City.
OF this number 103 are business
phones.
Twelve of the business houses pay
$50 per year for the use of their
phones, while 81 of them, according
to the contract, pay four dollars less
per year.
Residence phones cost $50 per
year.
From the above it will be seen that
the Bell Company, should it collect
every dollar due, would receive 81. 1892
annually from the business houses In
the 'Twin-Cfty, and ST. ,404 from the
residences, making total of Sc, 1896.
The Company claims that it realiZ
es very little from its investment
here.
The renters of phones. however,
are of different opinion.
Will the Company, which now con-
trolls the field alone. make a reduction
to their subscribers, or will it let an
opposition Company establish plant
here?
This remains to be seen.
The Bell people say they are here to
stay-let come what may.

TWO SPLENDID SERMONS
PRESIDENT KILGO AT CENTENA-
RY CHURCH SUNDAY
Gree ed With Large Audiences-Both
Sermons Repleee With Food for
Thought-An Able Man.

Rev, John C. Kilgo, the new Presi-
dent of Trinity College, occupied the
pulpit at Centenary church Sunday
morning, for the first time. His rep
utation as fine preacher had preced-
ed him and an unusually large
congregation was in attendance.
During the preliminary services, which
were performed in rather a slow and
drOll manner, d feeling of disappoint-
ment came over EIanV of the auditors
they began to think that their ex-
pectations had been placed too high,
that reputation had exaggerated the
facts. This feeling extended into the
early part of the sermon, which was
begun in somewhat inaudible tone.
1t was not long. however. before the
preacher had dissipated the early i'm
pressions, disarmed criticism and
captured the admiration as well as
the affection of his hearers. by mas
uerly effort of over an hours duration
from a text taken from Revelations,
rs: Il am Alpha and Omega, the be
ginning land the ending. saith the
Lord, which is, and which was, and
which is to come. the Almighty"
At night, another large congrega-
tion was highly pleased with another
fine sermon, the text being taken
from John, 1884: ga new command
ment l give unto you, That We love
one another: as | have loved you, that
We also love one another"
These two sermons were replete
with food for thought and gave the
hearers about as much as they will be
able to digest during the week.
These efforts furnished unmistakable
evidence that the new President of
Trinity College is man of intellect
uallty. originality and magnetism-a
deep thinker, with fluent command Of
language.
The next visit of Prof. Kilgo to our
community will be anticipated with
very great pleasure.

TIES OF FUsIONIsrs.
Close and Binding Between PopuIists
and Republicans.

The Raleigh correspondent Of the
Richmond Dispatch says:
The Poqulists in the Legislature are
far more bitter toward she Democrats
than are the Republicans. They say
less. Some of them will hardly hold
any communication with the Demo
Gratis. The ties which unite them to
the Republicans are of the closest
character. There has been thus far
only one jar. This was when Marion
Butler learned that the anti-fusion
Republican faction was seeking TO
dispute his claim to the 1ong-term
Senatorship. He did have claim on
the place, rs he frankly told the fusion
caucus TUESDAY. But the anti-fusion-
lists were quickly crushed
Will there he deal on the electoral
ticket in 1896? There are intimations
CT one. Butler limited Tuesday that
things would be agreeably arranged,
whatever that may mean Holton
and Ewart wanted no fusion next
year, but straight Republican cleo
toral ticket.

There was an improvement in the
weather this week, aud consequently
an improvement in business in the
Winston leaf market. The breaks
were full every day and it was neces-
sary to run double sales daily to avoid
a block.
Wrappers were in somewhat larger
supply than usual. some good wrap
pers being seen in nearly every row on
the warehouse floors, and they were
knocked out at good prices, ranging
from thirty-f1ve to ninety cents
pound. Ninety cents, which is the
nigh water mark of the season, was
reached for the first time Friday.
Other grades call for no special
comment. Prices were well sus-
tanned.
Some additional buyers for local
factories were on sale this week The
market is strong. and the demand for
nearly everything active.
Our manufacturers have got off
heavy shipments lately. Preparations
for the approaching working season
are going on, and an early start will
be made. The outlook is for all the
