Death of Mr.. OIdham,s Father.

A press dispatch from Admission,
Ala, says: "Alexander Oldham,
former leading manufacturer of viii
ming gton, n. G., died here today, aged,
IS years. He built and owned what
was at one time the largest flour mill
ing plant in the South, and he was
the first American manufacturer to
export flour to China. He originated
the idea OF employing saw mill waste
as steam producing fuel for manu-
featuring plants, thereby placing a
commercial value upon a hitherto
worthless accumulation, ditli:ult to
dispose of and practically creating
new industry"
The deceased was the father OF Mr.
Edward A. Oldham, who was a resi-
Dent OF Winston for several years, and
editor of the WESTERN SENTINEL
The son is now connected with the
Washington Office or the Associated
Press. The remains Of the father
were sent to Wilmington, where they

THAT PUBLIC BUILDING.
Winston Only Sells Tobacco Stamps
Revenue Receipts,

Revenue Receipts,
The Durham Sun of Friday says ::
Our esteemed ntemporary, the
SENTINEL, is laying claim to the fact
that Winston leads in the matter Of
revenue collections for the month Of
May. Winston did make big show
ing, and she is entitled to a public
building, and we hope she will get
one. We have no dispute to raise
with the SENTINEL, but in the figures
given for the collections at the Dur
ham office $50, lJS Git was all for
stamps to go on manufactured tobac-
co in its various forms, and the Win
stOn collection il we mistake not,
also included liquor stamps. No
liquor stamps are sold at the Durham
Office. We think our tobacco stamp
sales will lead the State, when you
take it on tobacco alone But we
want 10 tell the SENTINEL that Dur
ham and Winston both should have
public buildings and should have had
them long ago We are more entitled
to them than many places that have
already gotten them-that is il what
revenue we pay the government
counts for anything"
We desire TO inform the Sun that
Winston does not sell any liQuo-
stamps either. Our revenue collecr
tions, which are larger than Dur
hams, are all for tobacco stamps.

The seventeenth annual commence
ment exercises of the Davis Military
School were continued last night with
the annual celebration Of the Cicero
nian Literary Society
A large, representative and appre-
cjatiye audience gathered in the spa
cious Armory of the Forsyth Rifiemen
at O'Clock and were afforded a most
enjoyable evening, the features of the
event being an entertaining oration,
several we'll rendered declamations. a
hotly contested debate and a number
OF pleasing musical selections by the
school band. The programme was not
too long. Lieutenant w. LYerly, OF
Hickory, presided as President Of the
Society, while Capt. w. Fl. Face, of
Virginia, as scrioe, announced the
programme numbers.
Bugler G. T. Woolen. of Winston,
was the Society Orator. His subject
was "Zebulon R. Vance The Grafton
was able as to composition and Mr.
Woollen's delivery was highly credita-
hle, eliciting enthusiastic applause.
He reviewed the life of North Caro-
linia's lamented son from birth until
death. referring to him as lawyer, Leg
islator, Congressman, Governor and
United States Senator. He concluded
his admirable address with these
words: 1T is impossible for US not to
remember, admire and love him"
A spirited debate was one of the in
terestinG features of the programme.
The subject was Resolved, That
Morality Increases with Civilization. %
Quartermaster O d. Dalton, of North
Carolina, opened the debate and made
a strong and pointed argument for the
Affirmative. Sergeant j. f. Dicks, of
North Carolina, represented the mega
tive side and his speech was pro.
nounced excellent, as was evidenced
by the hearty applause given by the en-
thusiastic audience.
The three declamations were good
1.-TWO Steps to Throne" was the
first subject and Cadet G. W. Ruther-
ford, of Arkansas, was especially hap
py in his delivery.
"The Wrong Ashes" a humorous
subject, was delivered by Corporal r
E. Mott, of Missouri: The speaker
did very we'll, but his effort would
have been far more creditable had he
spoken in louder tone Of voice Many
in the audience were unable tC hear
him. However, he was the recipient
Of lovely boquet of magnolias.
Cadet j. L. Gray, of North Carolina,
had splendid subject, The New
South" and he handled it in an en-
thusiastic and pleasing manner.

ed by Cadet Marshals o S Ball

THE LIEUTENANT-G GOVERNOR.
What He Says About Taxes and Bor-
rowing Money.


Col. Olds, the Raleigh correspon-
dent, quotes Lieut.-Gov. Reynolds as
follows:
The Lieutenant-G Governor says Gov
ernor Russell and the Council of State
desire to borrow from the educational
found it's Sl9O, 600 and use it ia carry
ing out the legislative intent as made
clear by this years special appropria
tions. or course the next Legis-
lature could provide for settlement
of this debt. 1t is also said that the
Treasurer thinks this step ought to be
taken. OF course much of it would be
used to stimulate local aid TO the pub
lie schools.
Lieutenant Governor Tor rather Gov.
ernor) Reynolds says that he fully be-
lives if there is a proper assessment
of the taXables, particularly land, in
the State, the amount now received
for taxes will be doubled; that the
inequality is now so gross as to be
outrageous; truck lands easily worth
$50 an acre being assessed at S. and
lands really worth 81 being assessed at
SS. He wants commission of ex-
perts to go all over the State and SET
the lands and the tax lists.

He Writes to His Paper About His
Trip to North Carolina.
Editor j. R. Lemon, of the Pdducah
(Ky.l Register, recently visited rela-
tives in this city and Guilford county.
He writes an interesting letter from
Greensboro to his paper about his trip.
Among other things he says:
| came from Winston here on the
Southern railroad. a distance of %
miles. Here l hired horse and bug
gy, and in company with my cousin,
Miss Georgia King. Of Winston, left
for the place where | was born, dis
tance of eight or nine miles in the
country. After making the necessary
inquiry for the place, we gave the lit
tie bay a chance to fly over the good
road that leads from Greensboro to
Gethsemane church.
/ remained in Forsyth, Rocking
ham and Guilford counties five days,
during which time | met many Of my
close relatives, all of whom Y was glad
to see, and who seemed glad to meet
their Kentucky kinsman.
Until recently / did not know that
| had living aunt. Mrs. Martha
King, of Winston, is the only one.
She has six boys and one daughter
ing money. She has only one daugh-
ter, Miss Georgia, who is a pretty
young woman. She accompanied me
on all OF my trips among our kin, for
which l shall kindly remember her.
She is pretty, intelligent, kind hearted
and entertaining.
or all the trips l had ever made in
my life, this was the most entertain
ing and enjoyable.
Greensboro and Winston are pros
porous towns and are each doing big
business. They have all kinds of fac
tories that work thousands OF hands,
which in reality make the town and
assist in building up the country. The
land is quite thin, yet the crops look
we'll. Wheat, corn and tobacco are
the principal crops raised in this coun-
try.
In conclusion, let me say to my
friends in Kentucky that if they have
any relatives in North Carolina, visit
them and learn and enjoy their un-
bounded hospitality. Their friend
ship knows no bounds.

AN AMUSING CASE.
The Trial of Alexander Jones for
Stealing Clothes.

The Trial of Alexander Jones for
Stealing Clothes.
Mayor Crutchfield says the trial of
Alexander Jones, colored, for theft,
was one of the most amusing cases
that have come up before him. There
were several charges against Jones
and at the first trial one of the wit
nesses testified that the defendant
was then wearing a coat, vest and
pants which belonged to him. He
also had the witnesses time book in
his pocket. At the second trial it
was proven that Jones had on a shirt
which he had stolen from another
witness.
Jones told one of the officers that he
could find lot of clothes which he
bad stolen in barrel behind one of
the colored churches. The policeman
went and found the stolen property
where Jones told him.
