Indian Climbing Plant.

In India they have strange species of climber with an extraordinary long name botanically speaking. but com monly known as the vegetable boa con- strictor," which twines about giant trees so tightly as to choke them to death. Sometimes knotholes in the trees occur just where the serpent's eyes would be, and the effect is startling.

Correction of Errors About the Mocks-
Vile Extension.


Vile Extension.
Editors of Sentinel.
You copied in your paper Monday
an article headed THE Mocksville-
Mooresville Road" which, like many
other articles in the papers recently,
relative to the same matter, was full
of errors. The Southern Railway
Company is not building any road
from Mocksyille to Mooresville, but
the North Carolina Midland Railroad
Company is building an extension Of
it's road, now in operation from Win
ston to Mocksville, from Mocksville
to Mooresville.
The city of Winston, county of Da-
vie and hundreds Of citizens In Rock,
ingham, Forsyth, Davie, Rowan and
Iredell counties own stock in the road.
All of the officers have been for years
and now are native North Carolinians.
/ Hon. A. Leazer. of Mooresville, T. B..
Bailey and f. M. Johnson, of Mocks-
Vile, Rev. w. G. Wilson, of Mt. Hol-
ly, j. Turner Morehead, of Leaksville,
Fl. e Fries. Of Salem, r. j. Reynolds.
]. w. Alspaugh. ]. B. Vaughn and 6
with Col A B. Andrews. of Raleigh,
constitute the Board of Directors.
The company has not paid So 900 for
any one right of way; the line runs
through several houses and danger
ously near to the dwelling OF Henry
Rice, one of the cleverest men in
Rowan county, and the company
bought his farm of 280 acres, for which
it paid him $1,000. With the excep-
tion Of one family connection the PEG.
pie owning property along the route
have generally been very reasonable
and many very liberal. There are no
better citizens in the State, as whole,
than those living along the new road
from Mocksville to Mooresville and
for generous hospitality they are not
excelled. The rights of way along no
line OF road in this section of the
State have ever been secured with so
little friction as the right of way on
this line.
The line crosses the Western N G.
railroad about two miles east OF Cleve
land. The distance from Mocksville
to MooIesville is II Clio miles. 1t is
all under contract, the work of grad
ink has commenced at several points
and within few days the line will
be covered by contractors with their
forces. When completed it will be
the best road in the hill country OF
North Carolina.
This statement is made in justice to
the people along the line who have
been grossly misrepresented in some
of the articles that have appeared in
the newspapers. X.

MISTAKE ABOUT DOGS.

When Dogs are Listed the Tax Goes
to the County School Fund.
Dogs are not subject to State or
county tax in North Carolina. How
ever, by a provision in the Code the
owner of dog may list his canine to
insure his ownership Of the animal
and thus protect his pet. In almost
every county of the State this is done
by some parties. A number of dogs
were listed in Forsyth last June.
This same section provided that
these dogs shall be valued at 81 90
each and this tax shall go to the pub
lie school fund of the county. This is
where the error occurred. Some OF
the counties have returned the num-
Der of dogs listed like they were hogs
or any other taxable animal and levied
tax upon them according to the val
uation given by the owners, presuma-
bly, under the impression that the tax
goes to the State school fund.

GREAT CROWDS ATTENDED.

The Colored Girl Preacher at the
Courthouse, Sunday.
The little colored girl preached to
three immense congregations at the
courthouse Sunday.
The service at m. was for white
people and when that hour arrived
standing room was scarce. Every seat
was filed and there was no room for
the colored choir which was to sing
at this service
Lenora lined the hymn aud the con-
gregation sang "All Hail the Power
Of Jesus Name"
Rev. DR.. Greasy led the prayer.
While on his knees he rebuked some
parties in the hall for talking Later
he told the parties who were creating
a disturbance that he would have to
call upon an officer to stop the dis
turbance If the talking was not
stopped.
Lenora read several verses from the
11th chapter of Isaiah and the third
chapter of st. John. She selected her
text from the TIN verse Of the last chap
ter. "Ye must be born agair" as the
text.
These words were spoken by God to
IN lCOu6muS, d ruler Vi Uuo jews. ne
was a wise man. said Lenora, but still
he was sinner. He went to Jesus,
not to seek his SOUPS salvation but in
search Of knowledge. God began talk
ing to him about his souls salvation.
Lenora urged her hearers to follow
the example of Christ and teach sim
ners the way of life. Her advice to
sinpers was not to let the cry be too
late" when death came. She con-
| cluded her discourse by saying that
her prayer was that all her hearers,
out of Christ, might be born again.
The little girl was given the best Of
attention while she was preaching
and she was heard with intense in
| terest.
At the close of the sermon Lenora's
| mother sang a selection, after which
| she told the audience that her daugter
| was uneducated; that she never stud
| led her sermons, but preached the
| word just as it was given to her by
God.
DR.. Greasy had a collection taken
for the girl and her mother. He said
he believed it fell to his lot to keep
| down fuss in the beginning and get
| money at the close. The collection
| amounted to S12.7O. The collections
at the other two services aggregated
1877 80.

HIS NAME WAS "PUT"
GOT A SUIT OF CLOTHES AND
PUT OUT.

He Was Arrested at Walnut Cove,
but Made His Escape En- Route to
Winston and While Train Was
Making 80 Miles an Hour.
Monday morning a negro named
"Put" Galloway went to the home of
Alderman 9. II. Tayis, on North
Liberty street, and told Mrs. Tavis
that her son, Mr.. John Tavis had
sent him after his best suit of
clothes. They were given the negro,
who went off and put them on him.
self.
When John went home to dinner
his mother questioned him about
sending after his clothes. OF course he
expressed surprise as he had not seen
Galloway.
The officers were notified and tele-
grams were sent to Walnut Cove and
other places to look out for the negro.
Constable j. K. Lewis, of the Cove,
found Galloway and arrested him late
in the afternoon. When the freight
train came along he boarded it with
the intention OF bringing the negro to
Winston.
Galloway appeared very meek and
offered no resistance, but he was
planning way to escape. Before
reaching Walkertown the negro told
the officer that he wanted to get a
drink of water. GAS the train was
running at the rate of about 80 miles
an hour" says Officer Lewis, 81 felt
no danger in allowing Galloway to go
after the water alone"
Instead of getting water, however,
the negro opened the rear car door
and jumped from the platform to the
ground. Officer Lewis missed his man
| at once and had the conductor to stop
the train as soon as possible, but
| owing to the speed it was running
| when Galloway jumped, the engineer
had gone at least three quarters of
| mile before he could come to stand
still.
The conductor took his lantern and
| went back some distance with the
officer, but the negro was not found.
Officer Lewis came on to Winston,
spent the night here and returned
home today. He says this is the first
| prisoner that ever got away from him
| He expects to get Galloway again and
| If he does he will accept no more ex-
cuses from him.
The charge against the negro is
getting clothes under false pretense.
Jailer Davis accompanied Officer
Lewis to the scene where the latter
thought the negro jumped from the
| train, but they were unable to find
Sambo's footprints. Sheriff Kapp
| thinks it highly probable that the
negro did not Jump from the train
but climbed the ladder of box car
| and rode to Winston on top of the
car.

A TERRIBLE END.
Mr.. Jacob Kluttz Lived and Die
Alone, Near Salisbury.

Mr.. Jacob Kluttz Lived and Died
Alone, Near Salisbury.
The Salisbury Sun of Monday says:
Mr.. Jacob Kluttz, who lived on the
Stokes Ferry road, about five miles
from the city, was found dead at his
home Saturday morning His head
was In the fireplace and it was sup
posed that he fell and died from burns
received.
Mr.. Kluttz lived alone. He had.
ever since he got divorce from his
second wife, who is now Mrs. George
Hudson. He was about sixty five
years old and was somewhat OF a
miser.
The neighbors were Informed Of the
find and parties attempted to move
the body when, horrors! the head re-
manned In the fireplace and one arm
dropped back to the floor. IL and the
head had been entirely severed by
worms.
Foul play might have been suspect
ed but an Investigation showed that
his money-such of it as lay around
loose in the house-had not been
taken, and It was then concluded that
he must have grown faint and fell In
the fire and died before he could ex-
tricate himself.
