Another One in Jail.
Raleigh News and Observer.

On August 18th, Senator Pritch-
ard and Congressman White had a
competent lady removed as post
master at Powellsville, and a young
negro woman appointed in her place.
On November 4th, her brother, who
was her assistant, was sentenced to
Jail for robbiDg the mails. The men
who voted in November of last year
for Mckinley are responsible for such
Objectionable appointments. 1t is
no wonder that the best men among
them are sick of the dose, and are
coming back to the Democratic party
willing to abide by the action of it's
conventions.

Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, in reply to an
inquiry from the New York World,
which was published in yesterdays
SENTINEL. 1t will bear repeating ::
s'The chief cause which brought
about the Democratic triumph of
Tuesday is a fuller understanding
which the people have of the Chicago
platform of 1896, and all that it
means for the preservation of in
dividual rights and for a return
of national prosperity. 1t was for
the further reason that a freer and
unpurchased expression of the peo-
pies will was had on last Tuesday,
and that Republican promises are
false, and end only in the promise.
Bryan is the embodiment of the lead
ing features of Democratic faith and
their constant, unyielding champion.
If he lives. and is in good health, he
will be nominated by the Democratic
party for President in 1900"

Roanoke News.
Unless all Signs fail, the approach
ing winter will be unusually severe
1t is said that a heavy persimmon
crop means a hard winter. The per
simmon crop is large. 1t is said that
a large crop OF acorns and locusts in
dictate severe winter. We have
both. Old people say that when the
skin or the peeling OF the apple is
thick you may expect hard winter
weather Well, the outside of the
apple was never tougher than it is
this year, SO we may safely say that
when all signs agree as touching a
cold and hard winter it would be
wise to lay in a good supply of coal
and wood. Be prepared for the
worst, but hope for the best.
