The HORSE BECAME Intoxicated.

Another rather remarkable story
comes from the Estate of Wilkes" 1t
is said that a man rode up to farm
er's house in Wilkes county few
nights ago and asked if he could
spend the night. He was told that he
could do so, and to go out to the barn
and put up his horse. He had bot
tie of whiskay with him, and not wish
ing to carry it in the house hid it under
the logs of the barn. Some time dur
ing the night the horse pulled the
stopper out of the bottle and drank
ali the liquor, and next morning when
the man went out To the stable his
horse was so drunk that he could not
lead him out of the barn door.

The New EIection Law.

Ballot Box, Prohibition Organ.
The Fusionists' great effort has
been from the first to hedge them
selves in for perpetual domination
of the State.
The law they supplanted to get
place for their own, was a picture of
virtue in comparison to the one they
have imposed upon the people.
The election law that they have
hoisted to the statute books is SO
glaringly partisan and dishonest
that to be despised needs but to be
seen.

STATE HorticultnraI Fair.

Mr.. P. Hiensberger, Jr. of Whining
ton. has received letter from Mr..
Gerald Mccarthy, of Raleigh, in re
sponse to one written to him in regard
to holding the State horticultural or
Fruit Fair in Wilmington this sum-
mer. He said the outlook now was
for an abundant yield of fruit this
year, owing to the rest the trees and
vineyards had last year, and in all
probability the fair would be great
success and that the same proposition
will be offered as was made last year,
and Wilmington would be given the
preference. The proposition was last
year TO pay the Fair Association $500.
One of these fairs was held in Win
ston several years ago and proved a
grand success.

Good Reasons For Burttr-Mak,ng


State Bulletin.
At recent farmers institute in
Michigan dairymAn summed up the
following reasons in favor of butter
making:
L. That it is the business upon thp
farm that permits the most absolute
control over conditions of produc-
tion and distribution of product,
hence the most prufta bic.
2 1t is the highest art OF farming,
because it combines all other lines
and eivea greater opportunity for
executive and manufacturing skill
3. 1t is most tree from irresponsi
ble and destructive competition by
necessity of it's character and by the
personal equation OF the individual
product.
4 It is a more exact line of pro
duction, permitting gross receipts to
he forecast with great exactness;
hence the greater possibilities of in
creasing net receipts, cit her by lower
ing expenses or increasing volume OF
product.
5. I5 permits the employment OF
labor at the season of the year when
farm labor is he cheapest, if winter
dairying is followed.
6. OF all the products sold from
the farm butter takes the least fer
tility and restores the greatest
amount to farm, and it is well known
that the most fertile sections OF the
country are where butter-fGrming is
followed.

A GREAT MEETING.
The Recent Revival at the First Pres
byIerian Church.


THE SENTINEL makes the following
extract from Pastor Caldwell's letter
to the North Carolina Presbyterian
relative to the recent meeting held at
the First Presbyterian church, this
city:
''There was an out pouring of the
Spirit from the very beg inning Gods
people were moved to earnest prayer
and faithful, personal work. Every
thing was ordered of the Lord. 1t
was His set time to favor Zion. The
church is greatly revived and strength
ened Our cause here has had an
uplift, which will tell upon its future.
Some of the best people in the city
have been reached. A large number
of backsliderS were restored and made
public confession. Oyer one hundred
persons were converted and openly
professed their faith in the Saviour
Scores of Others gave expression to
their interest and concern. We have
aireaGy received t1fty-six into the
membership of our church; many 9th,
erS will be received later on. some Of
tender years who are waiting for in
struciion. Nearly ali the churches in
the city Will share with US in the
blessing.

a bill to legalize cock fighting, and
passed bill fixing bonds of county
officers, Sheriff at not over $1,000;
Register of Deeds, 81 900; Superior
Court Clerk. $4,000; Treasurer, D per
cent. of the taxes. A bill TO amend
the charter of the Atlantic and North
Carolina railway passed its second
reading. Williams. of Craven, a Re-
publican, attacked it furiously. saying
IL was an attempt to steal the road.
He demanded the yeas and nays, so
that, as he said, the people could see
who the thieves were.

Scott Hawkins, the well known COL

one of his friends few days ago on
passing events. With the best Ian
guage Scott knew how to use, he de-
clared that his time, talents and in
fluence should no longer be given to
the cause of .publicanism." 81 tells
you,'' continued Scott, .sdat party has
gone back on its promises. White and
colored publicans told me dat if dey

other counties.

done full justice two-thlrds of the en-

So far as we know, however, Forsyth b

applicant is possessed OF too much
sense, and they are afraid of him.
