DR.. Diaz Resigns as Missionary.

Rev. DIR. A. J. Diaz has severed his
connection with the Southern Bap-
tist Mission Board, in order to devote
his entire time to the cause of Cuba
Libre, according to the Atlanta Con-
stitution. 1t was thought his accept
ance of the management of the Junta
in Atlanta might eDdanger the prop
erty owned by the Mission Board in
Cdba. There was no ill-feeling in the
matter, and 1t is probable that at
some future day Mr.. Disz may return
to his former work. As he was ban
ished from the island, he cannot re-
turn under present conditions.

ELECTION OF DETECTIVE PFOHL
"Tax-Payer" Asks Some Questions
Expenditure of Money.


To The Editors of The Sentinel.
As citizen and Taxpayer Of Win
| ston, desire through the columns OF
/ your paper to thank Alderman Pollard
, for ventilating the appointment OF
I the renowned detective, Col. Thomas
! men g. II. Tavis and w H White for
their many expressions Of surprise and
Condemnation OF this appointment.
Certainly somebody is responsible for
this high handed outrage upon the
tax payers or this city. Common
justice ought to suggest to those upon
whom the resp possibility rests to con-
fess tutir gulG, that the anathtnas
OF the tex ridden people OF this COM
munity may be visited upon them
There appears to be no recorded
eVideuce nf this app ointment, there
( re .he question arises was there y
Quoi um ut the Board present II not
the appointment could not have been
N lde and If Detective Pfohl has been
paid for the services which nobody
seems to know was rendered, some
body is responsible for the missppsC
priation of money. Possibly this ser
vice was rendered before the city cleo
tiOn, when the chivalrous South Caro-
lima detective ~ was taking the cen
sus OF the city aud making MS nightly
visits TO HOltOn's ONCE and reporting
results; or was 1t given him ia consid-
Grafton OF his coming of the ticket as
. candidate for Alderman? I feel con
fdent l voice the sentiment of this
eutire community in thanking the
Board Of Aldermen for relieving the
citizens OF this unnecessary and use
less expense.
In this connection l am reminded of
another expenditure of money which
the Boord OF Aldermen would not
have made II they had been Obliged to
meet it out of their own packets l
refer to the appoint ment Of secretary
aud treasurer and city engineer at a
salary of = thousand dollars each. Mr.
MaQruder performed this service IN
der the old Board for fifteen hundred
dollars and we venture TO express tho
opinion that he would nov perform
this service for twelve hundred per
2nnum, which would be q saving OF
eight hundred dollars year. l am
confident that competent men could
be gotten who would perform all the
service that is rendered by the present
secretary and treasurer for three hum
dred dollars per anum II the Board
of Aldermen will economize in this
direction the tax payers OF the city
will be grateful. TAX PAYER

TWO OLD MULES.
Said to be 20 Years Old and Still in
Service in Stokes


Service in Stokes.
Two horse drovers father and sony
from Virginia told aremarkable "mule
story" to several lovers Of horse flesh
at Smoke s. McCrary's livery stable
last week. The story goes as fol-
lows:
1t is said by our forefathers that the
Wythe lead and zinc mine, of Wythe
county, Va, furnished some OF the
lead TO fight the British at Kings
Mountain. The lead was packed"
over the Blue Ridge on horse and
mule back. 1t is said that pair Of
mules were used at these mines for
hauling cars from under the ground
The two animals were sold few years
ago, at the age OF 10 years, to Stokes
county farmer, who is still working
them and making tobacco for the
Winston market. The mules have
unusually long gray hair.
Mr.. FL. l.. higgins says II he knew
where the owner OF the animals lives
he would certainly make visit to
Stokes just to see the mules which
must now be nearing the century
mark.

Janitor Morris Steps Out.

Mr.. George Morris, crippled Con-
federate soldier. who was elected jani-

former Board Of County Commission
ers, gave up his position yesterday. A
suit was brought by the Republican
members OF the present Board TO
''oust" him. A compromise was ef-
fected. George is to receive pay for
the time he has served. His judgment
against the Board is for about S47.
1t is understood that John Gallo
way, colored, will succeed Mr. Morris
as janitor. A white Republican made
application to a member of the Board
for the position but he was told that
it was not a white mans job-or words
to that effect.
