THE SO YEAR LEASE.
What its Annulment VIII Mean tC
Winston Salem.

What its Annulment VIII Mean to
Winston-Salem.
Editors Sentinel.
This is conceded to be the most i'm
portant piece of financial legislation
that has been before our State since
the war. The Cook bill as first drawn
was Objectionable. 1t provided for
the annulment Of charters and also
empowered the Governor to sell the
States stock in the road. These two
PROVISIONS have been stricken out.
The bill which passed the House and
which is now before the Senate pro-
vides in short that all foreign cOrpO-
rations shall take out license and
agree to submit their causes to North
Carolina Courts; and that che Govern
or shall be empowered to employ coun-
sci and bring suit to test the legality
of the action of the directors in max
ing lease for SO years at per cent.
by private contract six years before
the old lease expired. The Seaboard,
which has never been in receivers
hands, offers 10 per cent.
If the Seaboard had the North Car
ollna Railroad, by building Is miles
they would be in Winston and the
Southern would be forced to complete
the N. G. Midland, which would give
US the through line that our bonds
were subscribed to. This would give
Winston-Salem the greatest roads in
the South and would make them the
important point between Richmond
and Atlanta.
If the lease is affirmed there is every
reason why the North Carolina Mid
land should not be extended. 1t
would be parallel line to their own
road. They now have about 800, ,O00
per mile of bonded debt on their line:
they are more interested ia manipu-
lating their stocks and bonds than
they are in building up our city and
section 1t would weaken their Sc
curities TO build this parallel line
and it is safe to say they would never
do it.
If then, we are ever to have q
through line this is the time to secure
it. Our City Aldermen are patriotic
men: they objected to Section OF the
bill-that is stricken out. Do they
favor the lease? Do they object &c
having the lease tested in the Courts
by fair even-handed suit? Do they
want through line? Do they wan1
10 per cent or more instead Of 7lpel
cent? Do they fear TO ask to demand
that we have the through line fol
which our bonds .were voted? II WI
are silent now objections will come in
( bad grace when we have entered upoT
our 90 year lease Of helpless, hopeless
dependency and slavery.

A Terrible Pest.

The "San scale" is the name of a
new pest which has just been discov-
cred in this State. 1t is an importa-
tion and comes from the Eastern
States. Gerald Mccarthy, secretary
OF the State Horticultural Society,
thus writes of it: "This is the most
destructive pest known to fruit grow
ers It has only recently been found
in the Eastern States, but has rapidly
sprt ad throughout the fruit-growing
States, causing heavy damage. 1t
was found by the Experiment Station
in North Carolina last summer, and
has already caused the destruction Of
orchards. This pest Is likely to cost
US as much as the Gypsy moth has
cost Massachusetts, unless we take
Immediate and proper measures for
exterminating IL. The case is very
urgent and delay will prove disas-
tTOus,"

THE WHOLE ARM0R.
MEETING AT BROAD STREET
GROWING IN INTEREST.
Rev. MIR. Prices Sermon Last Night.
Interest Among Christians and
Enqufrers .at After-Meetfng.
fsSecond Coming of Christi

Broad Street church was crowded
to the doors again Friday night. M.
p rice's theme was 1.-The Whole Ar
NOR" "Put OF the whole Armor
of God that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.".'
Did you ever stop to think OF the
mea ming of the word willy? Cunning,
crafty, slick, smooth, sly are some Of
its many meanings. Is this not ex-
actly the way satan deals with Us?
He comes into the heart OF the young
man and says to him: IF you never
do anything worse than drink an oc-
casional glass of beer, or play a
friendly game of cards you'll get to
heaven alright. Young lady. If you
never do worse than participate in
little harmless dance, or read "real
nice" novel now and then, you need
not fear to die. There are people all
around you, who pretend to be very re-
ligious and who do far worse things
than you do" And we say: That's
so, satan;" and all the time, slowly
but surely, the seed being sown in our
hearts by the enemy are tares sure to
bring forth in time to come Ia whole
crop of tareS which OuI after lives
must reap.
Satan truly comes to US as an angel
Of light. "Then If he does, how can
we really tell when it is Gods spirit
trying to lead US, or whether it is
simply satan disguised as an Angel 2"
you ask That is exactly the reason
why Paul tells US to put on the whole
armor that we may be able to tell
the difference-that there is no other
way by which we can tell the true
from the imitation.
The preacher then discussed in
a practical way the things of
which the armor of God consists
1.-The loins girt about with TRUTH"
"The breastplate Of righteousness,
"Our feet shod with the preparation
OF the Gospel of peace" 'The helret
of salvation" "The shield of faith"
the sword OF the spirit, Truth,
Righteousness, Peace, Salvation, Faith
and the Sword. A foundation, laid by
our Savior, the eternal Rock Of Ages
Chain yourself, by Gods help to this
foundation and "having done all, to
stand"
An after meeting was held at which
there was good interest, both among
Christians and enquirers.

ANOTHER WINDOW BROKEN.
This Time it Was Kenny Roses Store
No Goods Stolen.

NO UOOUS SGOlcn.
The "window smasher" was out
again Friday night. About 1 O'Clock
he threw brick through one Of Ken
ny Roses show windows, on Liberty
street.
Policeman Frazier was on Trade
Street and heard the missil
strike the window. He fastened
to the scene but the fellow had skip
ped. The officer hid himself and
watched for two hours but no one re-
turned. He then went to Mr.. Roses
home and notified him what had been
done, also advising him to remove his
shoes and umbrellas out of the win
dow, which was doue.
Policeman Burge was on that beat
that night He says ne was standing
on Trade street and heard the win
dow crash. He ran over to Roses
store, reaching there about the same
time Mr.. Frazier did.
Various opinions are expressed as
to who the "window smasher" is.
Some claim that it is some mischiev-
Gus boys who are just out for some
fun. If such is true it may prove dear
sport to the boys. Others argue that
it is naughty thief and that the Off
GERS should keep sharp watch for
him every night.

TWO NORTH CAROLINA ROADS.
One Crookedest and Steepest; Other
Straightest and Most Level.

One Crookedest and Steepest; Other
Straightest and Most Level.
"For its length the champion rail-
road in this country for tunnels, steep
grades, lofty rrestles, and sharp
curves" said a railroad builder, to
the New York Sun, sis the Cranberry
Railroad, which extends from John
son City, Tenn, to the Cranberry iron
mines in North Carolina, distance
OF thIrty-tive miles. 1t runs through
a region of noun tains, ravines, and
swift crooked streams. There are six
long tunnels, cut through solid rock,
and score or more Of trestles span
ming deep, wide gorges, some of them
at a height of nearly 200 feet above
the bottoms of the chasms. Grades
Of $50 feet to the mile are common.
The road was begun as standard
gauge road, but it was found impossi-
BILE to build ii OF that gauge owing to
the heavy grades and the sharp curves
some OF which almost double on them
selves, and it was changed to mar
roW-gauge. Even then it cost over
$50, 900 a mile to build.
while the Cranberry Railroad Is
perhaps the crookedest and steepest
railroad OF its kind in the country,
another North Carolina railroad is
the straightest and most level. This
is the Carolina Central, part of the
Seaboard Air Line system, which for
125 miles has not the slightest curve
nor as much as foot OF cutting, with
DO grade as much as foot TO the
mile"

Few people know that all plants contail

Few people know that all plants contain
digestive principles. They cannot absorb
their food until it is digested any more than
animals can. The Mount Lebanon Shakers
have learned the art of extracting and util-
izing these digestive principles. and it is for
this reason that their Shaker Digestive Cor
dial is meeting with such phenomenal sue
cess in the treatment of dyspepsia. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains
food already digested. but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the digestion
of other foods that may be eaten with it. A
single 10 cent sample bottle will be suffi-
cient to demonstrate its value, and we sug-
gest that every suffering dyspeptie make q
trial of it. Any druggist can supply it.

ADDRESS ON MISSIONS.
Rev. j. E. White, of Raleigh, made
an earnest address on missions. His
subject was Why Missions and What
For" Mr.. White is a pleasant and
entertaing speaker and his talk before
the convention was full OF thought
and admonition. He said now is the
best time to work in the history OF
missions, for the telegraph, cables and
all new inventions have brought the
world together on this subject. There
is more study and more light on the
subject than ever before. Even the
children now know what Is the life of
Missionary. An inspiring fact is to
know that in the last century 1000,
900 souls have been brought to Christ.
1t is a good time for missions be-
cause in the last decade 100000 learn
ed to know Jesus-274 each day, II
each hour every minutes-which is
enough to make the angels rejoice.
All must now agree that all Chris
tians must be Missionaries or help in
the Missionary work.
At the close of the beautiful and
touching appeal of Mr.. Whites, he
requested the delegates to repeat as a
body the motto OF the Christian En-
deavor Society: 81 am but one, l
cannot do everything, l can do some
thing, and what | can do, l ought to
do, and what ] nnght to do, by the
help UI God | will do"
fter heartily sung HYMN the
convention adjourned for dinner.
