Express and Telegraph Companies.

The telegraph and express COM
panies were given quite shaking-up
by the Railroad Commission Wednes-
day, July 18th. A resolution was
offered by Chairman Caldwell in re-
gard to the telegraph companies and
one by Commissioner Pearson in re-
gard to the express companies and
both were unanimously adopted. These
resolutions cite the telegraph and ex-
press companies to appear before the
Commission July 20 and show cause
why they should not be fined for a
clear violation of the law and why the
required penalties should not be inn
posed for every message and receipt
on which they have since July re-
quired patrons to pay the stamp. They
are further ordered to produce under
oath statements of all messages and
receipts on which such extra charges
have been placed.

CHARGE MOTT WITH 1T.
John N. Brewer May be the Indepen-
dent Candidate.

Some of the Linney Republicans are
saying now that the insurgents will
never nominate a candidate for Con-
gress as they know it will defeat Mott
for Solicitor. They claim that he is
responsible for the bolt. This is
strongly denied by the insurgents who
say that Mott was not in their Con-
vention and that the bolting faction
will put up a candidate without the
assistance of the Solicitor.
The Mt. Airy News is told by a
prominent citizen that Mr.. John F..
Brewer will now enter the fight on the
Independent ticket The News says
that if he goes in he will make things
howl in the ''ate" before the votes are
counted in November.

SANTIAGO HARBOR.
Every Vessel in the Fleet Has Volun-
teered to be First to Enter

OFF SANTIAGO, July 16.-Every
ship in the fleet has volunteered to be
the first to enter the narrow harbor.
Commanders of all the smaller vessels
pleaded diligently to be allowed to be
the first to pass old Moro. Sampson
was compelled to decline all offers.
He does not think it necessary for any
warship to go nearer the city at pres
ent. The Red Cross steamship, State
of Texas, with Clara Barton aboard,
will probably be the first to pass into
the harbor.

Gen. Lee is Talking About Taking
Troops from Jacksonville.

John Chapman, member of the
Forsyth Rihemen, writes to friend
here that General Lee is talking about
moving the troops from Jacksonville,
Fla, to Macon, Ca, on account of
the present camp being so wet during
the rainy season. John adds that if
it continues to rain as it has for three
days they will be in water knee deep.
The camp grounds are so wet now that
the boys can scarcely get about.
Chapman says he thinks he will go
to st. Augustine Fla, on Sunday to
see the 692 Spanish prisoners captured
by Sampson at Santiago. They
are to reach there that day. John
adds: 81 think from the way Samp-
son is going on that we will be at
home in few days, don't you?"
He reports the boys doing we'll and
says that he never enjoyed himself
better. Tobacco is scarcer than any
thing else.

1T WAS NO ELOPEMENT.
The Young Lady's Mind Is Affected
and She Went Away


A special to THE SENTINEL Fri
day from Greensboro says that
the story about a certain young lady
eloping from that place with a
man Thursday is all bosh. Her mind
has been affected and learning that
she was likely to be sent off for treat
ment, she slipped off. She came back
that night and was sent to the hospital
at Morganton.
Miss Flossie Settle is the name of
the young lady. She was stopped in
Lynchburg by an officer who brought
her back to Greensboro last evening.
While in Danville on the return home,
the Register says that the young lady
escaped from the officer and tried to
lock herself in one of the depot rooms,
but this did not succeed. After eating
supper at the depot restaurant she
compelled the man to carry her to the
train and put her on.

TALK ABOUT INSECTS.
The Lady Bird and the Dragon Fly
Are Two Very Interesting
and Useful Creatures.

So commonplace an insect as the
little ladybird, or, as it is often called
the ladybug, is something to excite
your interest. 1t is constantly seen
upon flowers, and is known by natural
lists as coccinella. 1t is tiny crea.
ture, with hard body, like a shell
which is of a deep orange color, with
black or red spots, or sprinkling OF
brown. By looking under a rose leai
you will often see cluster of little am.
ber-colored balls; they are ladybird's
eggs, and in time will be developed into
fiat six-footed worm of grayish color
marked with yellow, AS soon as these
worms are hatched out they begin to
look about for the aphides, which are
tiny green creatures to be found OF
any neglected rose bush. The worms
eat them with great avidity, after
which they attach themselves to some
solitary leaf, where they remain with
out food until they are changed into
lady
Besides furnishing food for the de.
velopment of the ladybird, the aphides
serve another purpose in the economy
of nature. They are called the ants
cows. When the ants stroke them with
their feelers, they exude pale, sweet
green substance, not unlike honey
which the ants devour. The dphide>
are laXy and never roam from the
leaves upon which they have com.
menced their life. Four times in Il
days they change their coverings be.
fore they reach maturity, and then
they begin with their family cares
Some 20 are produced by their parents
daily, and were it not that the lady.
bird worms devour them in such guam
titles they would soon overrun and kill
the plants.
Another interesting insect is the dra
gon fly, with its wings of transparent
iridescent gauze. 1t, too, must pas;
through a process of transformation
before it's perfection is reached. Al
first it is only a, greenish gray grub
which lives in the mud on the margin
Of the stream. The grub crawls from
the mud and attaches itself to reed
with it's claws; in little time its eyes
become very brilliant, the back opens
a head appears, then the body, and
finally the wings, which are closely
folded; and very soon the dragon fly
will be able to fly. Dragon flies live
upon other insects, and when they are
numerous the mosquitoes are said tc
disappear, Some Of them are very
beautiful; the wings of some are
golden green, of others slate blue, and
still others have black and blue spots
upon the extremities of their Wings

DUTIES OF MARINES.
WarAhip Soldiers Have to Work Hard
and at n Great Variety
of Things.

The first United States troops Il
land on Cuabn soil were marines. A
detachment of these gallant sea sol
diers we're put on shore at Guantana-
mo, and there for three days they re-
sisted the attacks of numerous force
of Spanish guerrillas and regulars.
There was nothing surprising in this
to those who know that the history
of the marine corps is one of brilliant
bravery.
Aboard ship the marines duties are
somewhat different from on shore, al
though they consist principally Of
sentry duty, and for this reason they
are generally termed the police of the
ship, as they are given the task of
maintaining order. Every warship
has a detail of marines, from 40 to 50,
with a captain in charge, on battle
ship or big cruiser that is flagship,
down to corporal's guard on one of
the small gunboats. On big ship
there are some six or seven posts that
must be constantly covered. A sentry
must be at every gangway and must
hail every boat that approaches the
ship. In case the visitor or, departing
officer is one of rank, the guard must
be turned out with proper ceremony,
and in ceremonials the marines are
drawn up in line on the quarter deck.
One or two of their number, accord
ing to the detail, must act as mess
cooks, and the constant sentry duty,

by no means easy. In addition they
are given regular drills in infantry

the crew at the rapid-fre guns, and
also in all the general drills, such as

AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.
His Clever Appliance for the Con-
venIence of Soldiers in
Camp and Battle.

Just at this time, when the people
of the United States are especially in
terested in all subjects relating to the
arming and equipment of troops, it 10
worth while to recall that the first Of
our modern American humorists made
his reputation by some very pertinent
suggestions to the secretary of war
regarding the value of the military
hook"
Jefferson Davis was secretary of
war during President Franklin Pierce's
administration. He had won laurels
in the Mexican war as colonel of the
Mississippi rifles. He was a great
stickler for military discipline, and di'
rected everything in person like com,
mander-in-chief from a grand review
to the purchase of shoe blacking.
He changed the uniforms and equip
ments several times, thus causing
