DR.. Clardy's tobacco resolution
which wes an amendment TO the tai
if bill in the Senate, was knocked
out in the conference but the Docto
had still another card to play. Wit
the help Of Mr.. Evans he got the orig
iual resolution up in the Hous
Wednesday and it went through
without opposition. Senator Lind
say will try to get it through the Sen
ate again as an independent measure
Tie text OF the resolution is as fol
lows:
Whereas, A large surplus Of to
bacco grown IN Kentucky, Tennessee
Virginia, Maryland and other States
must, TO find market at all, be ex-
ported, but certain foreign countries
have, by restrictive laws, shut out
this particular product from the reg
ular channels of trade, and by Gov
eminent monopolies limited the de.
mand, prevented all competition and
controlled the price, now, in order to
secure, as far as may be, open and
unrestricted markets for American to-.
bacco in foreign countries,
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives OF the
United States of America in Congress
Assembled, That the President of the
United States is hereby authorized to
make such Investigations as will elicit
all the facts in reference to the re-
lotion put upon the sale of Amer-
can tobacco in foreign counties under
what is known as reggie contracts"
and otherwise.
And he is further authorized to
enter into negotiations with the Gov
ernments of these countries with a
view to obtain a modification or re-
moyal of these restrictions.
And in pursuance of this subject
he may, in his discretion, place such
restrictions on the exports of these
countries to the United States as may
s, just aud reciprocal, until the re-
strlctlons on our products are remov-
ed"
Dr. Clardy made short speech ex-
planning the measure. The surplus
prod uced by the tobacco growers of
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
to about 900,000,00O
pounds annually, he said, found a free
market only in England and France.
La other European countries the
market is controlled by syndicate,
and that by the governments, which
limit the amount to be purchased.
If these restrictions were removed,
DR.. Clardy said, the value of this sur
plus crop to the raisers would be in
creased from 81 to S. a hundred
pounds. Mr.. Swanson, Of Virginia,
also explained in detail the opera
tions of the monopoly in the manipu-
lation of the crop and price. The
tariff collected by European coun
tries last year on importations Of
American tobacco amounted to $3.50,
100000. By the fixing of the price
paid for the tobacco, as we'll as that
at which it was sold, the American
tobacco growers were losers to the
amount Of Sl9,OOO,OO0 to S2O,C00,0OO
annually.
Dr. Cardy mas worked hard for
this bill and if it becomes a law he
will have done more for his constitu.
ents than any of his predecessors for
many years. The District made no
mistake when it sent DR., Clardy to
Congress.

Continued Encouraging Report by
Dun's Commercial Agency
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade Saturday says:
There is no halting in the advance.
Business grows better in all ways. A
steady increase in production, in
working force and in the power of the
people TO purchase is the feature
which overshadows all others. Re-
ports OF New York trade unions show
an increase since one year ago OF "a
per cent. in the number OF men at
work, and similar increase among
men in like position throughout the
country would exceed $4,000, while
every week adds many establishments
to the active list.
The coal miners strike has disclos-
ed such facts ard brought to light
such differences that work will prob
ably be very soon resumed by large
share Of the men.
Failures for the week have been 2l5
in the Uulted States. against 3l5 last
year, and 30 IN Canada, against AZ last
year.

STATE ADMINISTRATION.
A Republican Takes a Whack at the
Powers That Be.

A Republican Takes a Whack at the
Powers That Be.
Editors of Sentinel.
Noticing for several days a series of
articles in the press of this and other
States which criticise the administra
tion of affairs in our State, your Cor
respondent, having been warm sup
porter, but by no means at present an
ardent admirer Of the imbeclle State
officials, desires to pull a few more
feathers from the plumage of the jays
who roost around the State capitol.
1t is not at all surprising when
made familiar with the basic facts. A
governor ushered into his nomination
over a competitor who received at
least one more vote than he did If re-
ports from an eye witness are to be
depended on. An Auditor holding his
position as result of plunder from the
Hon. j. Y. Hamrick, who should now
be the occupant OF that position
When such things stare the public in
the face, it at once arOuses suspicion.
From persons on the inside, it ap-
pears that certain of the ministry, in
stead OF directing their fire against
the arrogance of their common eneIny
have exhausted all their ways and
means, and even crossed the line OF
common decency, against individuals
And what at first were only small dis
contents, that might have been stif1ed
by little honorable sagacity, have
been blown into blaze of open rebel
lion, and will only tend to greatly dis
tinguish instead of unish those who
had the manhood to call in question
certain attempted infractiOns of law
and decorum. The opposition we fear is
i'll judged on the part of the officials
and is fiagrant violation of the most
positive assurances and sacred prom
lSes made by set OF men VINO have
the integrity of not only our indi
vidual existence but of the State in
their keeping.
A continuance OF such acts on the
part of those high in authority can
only tend to bring out the weakness
and distraction Of the present admin
istraJion. They had better call a halt
in their nefarious efforts to damage
individual character for the purpose
of political and private gain, aud also
in their efforts to create sentiment
generally which tends to unhinge the
happiness and welfare of our people.
Right at this juncture it appears TO
US that the stern manhood or our peO-
pie irrespe cUive of party should inter
vene, and demand that reparatiOn for
wanton wrong be made, aud the best
laws of the State be maintained, and
that venality and corruption or any
action that would tend to cast SUCH
reflection on our State and people
should cease.
The people are already emascu-
lated by standing before the world a.
a body of criminals, as very few of
them have paid their taxes, and the
first of September is now past.
You will not question our veracity
when we assure you again that it is
not from any particular respect for
the persons OF tie State officials that
we call the attention of the public tC
their attitude, for our language has
| no term of reproach and our mind no
ideas of detestation, which our honest
party men could not happily apply to
| them. Sincerely,
REPUBLICAN.

BOY WITH TWO VOICES.
A Remarkable Case-Some Say 1t Is
Ventriloquism.

A Remarkable Case-Some Say 1t Is
Ventriloquism.
A SENTINEL man interviewed and
heard the colored boy, who possesses
two voices, talk last Thursday after
noon.
George Adams is the name of the
boy, who looks just like ary other col
ored lad OF l5 years. He is accompa-
MED by his father, III. Adams, and S.
Dixon. Their homes are in Orange
burg, 5. Z.
The father stated that the feminine
or second voice was first discovered
during the boys sickness, on March
18th, 1895. He has been travelling
and exhibiting him nearly all the time
since that date. He says the voice
named itself Josephine when it first
came. When asked who sent it here
it replied that God sent il from
"GlOry" to warn the people.
The father said he was a carpenter
by trade and has wife and five chill
dren, the boy with him here being the
Oldest. They are stopping with Tur-
ner Williams, on Depot street. 1t is
not known when they will leave Win
ston They expect to go back to
Greensboro from here. The father
tells him. If 1T says not to go to a
certain place it is asked to name the
town they shall visit next. 1t also
objects TO going to certain halls and
churches.
The reporter and others asked the
voice" several questions and with
one exception they were answered cor
rectly.
The boy was asked if he experienced
any peculiar sensation when the
voice" was talking. He replied:
mot often; occasionally when she
talks loud | can feel something in my
stomach"
1t is rather remarkable case, not
withstanding number OF people look
upon it as a humOug One of the col
Ored churches refused to allow the
| father to give an exhibition in it..
Some people think 1T is nothing more
than ventriloquism and that the boy
simply throws his voice down in his
stomach. This may be true, but the
| parties who visited him yesterday
were unable to detect any movement
| OF the boys throat or mouth while
Josephine" was talking.
Mayor Crutchtield visited the boy
yesterday, but for some reason "Jose-
| phine" declined to answer his ques-
tions. The Mayor cannot understand
why she acted so naughty, unless it
was because he had no faith In her.
| One OF the Mayors friends suggests
| that perhaps Josephine" was afraid
| the Mayor might want her to talk
! about the Winston postOtfice and to
| name Mr.. Wilson's successor.

WALL WAS lYNCHED.
Supposed Perpetrator of the Patrick
County Tragedy.

Supposed Perpetrator OF the fatrlck
County Tragedy.
Mr. j. M. Brewer, who came down
from Mt Airy Tuesday Of last week,
while at the depot waiting for the
Wilkesboro freight to pull out, he told
about the horrible crime that was
committed September Sd in Patrick
county, Va, about miles from Mt.
Airy.
Mr.. Brewer was well acquainted
with Miss Sadie Cook, the II year-old
girl who was brutally assaulted and
murdered by a young white man
named Henry Wall. The girl lived
until Saturday evening.
Mr.. Brewer was asked if he thought
any attempt would be made to prose-
cute the lyncbers He replied that
he did not think the officers knew who
the men were, besides it would be
waste of time to attempt to try them
as they would certainly come clear in
Patrick county.
Mr.. Brewer learned that Wall tried
to burn the home of the girls father
after he had committed his heinous
crime. He had also been Informed
that the yOuLg man was not very
brig intellectually speaking, and be
was taken from the poor house when
boy and raised by man named
Crawford.
Miss Cook. says Mr.. Brewer, was
good looking and bore a good char
acter.
Wall was taken from the officer
Sunday evening and lynched.
A special from Stuart, Va says the
officers made no resistance when the
moo called for Wall. 1t is also stated
that the evidence against Wall, as
gathered at the Coroner's inonest is
exceedingly scanty and that 1t is pos
sible that an innocent man has suf-
fered through the i'll timed fury of an
excited mob.

Southern to Run Them via Winston
When New Line is Built.


When New Line is Built.
The Charlotte News learns from
what would be considered strictly re-
liable sources that in all probab bility
several OF the Southern's local passen-
ger trains will be run via Winston
when the Mocksville road is extended
to Mooresville. The reason given for
this change is that the Southern's con-
tract with the government regarding
the transportation of the United
States Southern mails is so strict that
it is almost impossible under the
present pressure OF business to make
the re luisite time With the local
trains out OF the way and no connec-
tions to be made, no side tracking
and such hindrances whereby time is
lost, it will be an easy matter for the
Southern to come up to the letter Of
their contract with the government,
and will do away with the fines that
are so often charged up to this road
on account Of short delays at junction
points.

DECISION IN TOBACCO SUIT.
Charter of Berry Brothers Company
Declared Void at LYnchburg.


A telegram from LyDchburg, Va
says that Judge Frank Christian has
rendered an opinion setting aside the
deed OF trust and charter Of incOrpora-
tion Of the Berry Brothers Tobacco
Company. When the original firm of
Berry Brothers, manufacturers of to-
bacco, at Bedford City became insol-
vent a charter Of Incorporation was
secured for the Berry Brothers Tobac-
CO Company, of which Messrs T. D
and W. w. Berry held all the stock eX-
cept three shares. Berry Brothers
transferred all their business to the
Berry Brothers Tobacco Company and
took in payment therefor stocks and
bonds. The tobacco company then
transferred to trustee the property
to secure the bonds These transac-
tions, the Judge held, hindered, de-
layed. and defrauded the creditors Of
the Berry Brothers.
The suit in which the opinion was
rendered was brought by the First
National Bank of Onanacock and the
Nrtional Exchange Bank. of Lynch
burg. The amount due them by the
Berry Brothers is $ll 900.

TWO CONGREGATIONS.
One Served by Rev. f. Il. Parker
Gets the Old Church.

Rev w. A LUZ, who attended the
special session OF the Lutheran Synod,
held at Euochville, Rowan, county,
tells The SENTINEL that the Synod
was called for the purpose of adjust
ing little friction among the Luth-
Grams at Frieden, two miles from Glib
sonville, Guilford county.
Ii became so intense that the con-
gregatiOns were divided and there
were two charges, one served nv Rev
e. I. Parker and the other by Rev b.
Y. BooZer. Some time age a commit
tee was appointed by the Synod to
look into the matter and hear the
claims OF the respective congrega-
tiOns. The committee made a report
to the Synod at the called session
1t was decided to allow the two con-
gregations to remain, but the old
church was given to the one served by
Rev Mr. Parker. Mr.. BooZer and his
congregation must either build new
house OF worship or go back to the old
church
