of the church. Sampson is among the
enrolled soldiers of the cross. Schley
is member of the church and looks
to God for his success. Hobson, of
Merrimac fame, knelt on the deck and
prayed Gods help as he entered upon
his brave and dangerous enterprise.
Capt. Phillips of the battleship
Texas is man of high Christian
character. When the Spanish ships
were going down and SO many of their
men were dying and drowning, it was
natural for our men to want to cheer
our victory, but Phillips said: 'Boys
do not cheer while the poor fellows
are dying: but l ask every one of you
to lift his hat and return thanks to
Almighty God for this victory" 1t
was done at once. There are many
others we could call attention to had
We time, but these must suffice for the
present. 1t is cause for profound
thanksgiving that the idea that a man
to be great man in military or
worldly affairs may be cursing or
wicked man is giving way and that
praying and Christian men are largely
at the front today. Many of the secu-
lar papers of the day are taking this
stand and practicing it, fer which
God be praised. In conclusion let us
sum up all our mercies and blessings
of the past and thank God for them.
Let us pray devoutly for speedy peace.
How can this war last, without COM
pllcations unseen arise?
Poor old Spain-her navy is almost
totally destroyed, her credit gone and
it seems as if God had forsaken her.
She must sucumb right early. Let us
pray that peace may soon come, as
honorable to all as possible,
and peace reign very soon from
the river to the end of the earth,
when Christ shall be King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. Amen.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Bullet Passed Dangerously Near
the Heart of Officer Pratt-The
Prisoner Was Jailed.

Policeman Pratt had close call as
the law-breakers say) about o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. He has not been
on the force long and this was the most
exciting and dangerous arrest he has
made.
He pulled Sam Fulton, a white man,
for drinking. The prisoner asked the
officer to go with him to his fathers
store, at the corner of Fifth and
Church streets, where he would get S.
as bond for his appearance before
the Mayor. The request was granted.
Upon reaching the store Sam went
behind the counter, for the purpose, as
the officer thought, to get the money.
He came out, however, with a pistol
and notified Mr.. Pratt that he would
attend to him-or words to that effect.
The officer backed out of the front
door, as Sam came towards him. Full
ton snapped his pistol several times
and it fired once, the ball grazing Off
Ger Pratt's coat, near his breast. The
policeman and others who witnessed
the trouble feel confident that the only
thing that saved Mr.. Pratt from being
shot was the fact that there was only
one shell in FultOn's pistol. When it
snapped one time Sam was holding the
shooting-iron near the officers abdo-
men.
After the shot the officer grabbed
Fulton, took the pistol and threw it
out on the street. He threw his pris-
oner down and sent messenger after
another officer. Policeman Poindexter
was soon on the scene and assisted
Mr.. Pratt in taking Sam to Jail.
Some of the officers and those who
witnessed the affair are free to say
that Fulton should feel thankful that
he was not shot by Officer Pratt; that
he would have been justified in shoot
ing him.
Officer Chas. Pratt is a Samson in
strength and it is folly for common
man to resist him. His action Tues
day proved that prisoner and a pis-
toll are no terrors for him.
Fulton was bound over to the SUI
perior Court.

Telephone Lines.

The Landmark says the Statesville
Telephone Exchange has under con-
sideration the matter of long distance
lines from Statesville to Taylorsville,
to Mooresville and Mocksville, the
latter line to go via Cool Springs to
county line, where connection can be
made with link of Horn Bros. from
that place to Mocksville. At Mocks-
vile connection could be made with
Winston, Salisbury and all interme-
diate points. If the line is built to
Taylorsville it would soon be extended
to Moravian Falls, where connection
could be made with Wilkesboro, and
North Wilkesboro, and from there to
Sparta and numerous other points in
the mountains, which are now con-
nected by 'phone with the two Wilkes
bOrOs.

SUNDAYS SMELLING.
SIMPSONS SHIPS FIRED ON
SANTIAGO.
Heavy Storm Interfered With Com

Captured With Supplies.

AGUADoREs, via Playa del Este,
July Simpsons ships threw shells
into Santiago Sunday afternoon. It
had been arranged for simultaneous
firing by the ships and the land artil-
lery, beginning at 4 O'Clock, but a
heavy storm interfered with Sampson s
telephone signal work between the
army and navy. However, at 4:45
O'Clock, the rumble of artillery on the
American lines was heard and this
was followed by the Brooklyn opening
fire, followed by the Texas and Indi-
ana. The firing lasted an hour. The

opened fire danger flag was display

No Deaths from Smallpox.

The Landmark says there is no
smallpox in Statesville or vicinity
and has not been for more than two
weeks except at the smallpox hospital.
Those who have had the disease in
the hospital are rapidly recovering
and many have been discharged.
Numerous suspects held in the house
of detention have also been dis
charged. There has not been single
case among the white people, there has
not been a single death from the dis
ease among the colored people, and
there is as little danger of contracting
smallpox in Statesville as anywhere
in North Carolina-there is absolutely
no danger in fact.

won blythe United States in its war with

Episcopal churches were especially
appropriate At the latter church the
rector, Rev. Mr.. George, preached an
earnest sermon on christian Hero
ism," in which he made special allu-
sion to Lieut.. w. E. Shipp, who lost

COUNTY TEACHERS, INSTITUTE
Work Done the First Week-Twe
Splendid Addresses.
Reported for The Sentinel

Reported for The Sentinel.
The first week of the teachers nor
NAL for Forsyth county closed Fri
day evening. During the week much
good has been accomplished. The
normal is conducted by our own
teachers and actual work is done
ing the term of their schools.
Wednesday and Thursday the In
stitute was conducted as follows:
Reading, Miss Mamie Sheetz: Writ
ing, Mr.. Johnson; Geography, Mr..
E. A. Thomas; Grammar, Mr.. F. Mes
ser; Physiology, Mr.. S. A. Hege;
Arithmetic, Mr.. w. w. Conrad: His
tory, w. L. Newsom; Whites Ele-
mentary History, by Mr.. 81. S. Will
liams.
The subjects were made very inter-
esting. The teachers generally did
credit to themselves, as did new set
of teachers Friday. Those who
taught Friday were held over for Mon
day.
The normal was entertained Fri
day afternoon by two good speeches,
from Prof. Woody, of Guilford Col
lege, and Miss Cathcart, who has
spent many years as a missionary to
Hawaiian and other islands of the
L dcllc OCEAN.
Prof. Woody showed in his pleasant
manner of the honored position the
public school teacher held, as well as
the great esponsibility that rests upon
them. Traits of the character blended
in our district schools, whether good
or bad, are often noticed in the future
arena of life.
Miss Cathcart gave full descrip-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands and their
inhabitants. The island will produce
to perfection such plants and fruits as
the banana, bread, fruit, coffee and
all other tropical fruits that will not
flourish in the United States. There
you can stand in the tropical climate
and see all of the climates to the
frigid, the mountains being covered
with perpetual snow. The natives are
not the fiat-nosed, thick-lipped Afri-
cans as they have been represented,
but while they are dark skinned, they
are more of an Intelligent Malay race
much refinement exists, especially
with American and English immi-
grants. Our language is much used.
She thinks these Islands will prove of
value to the United States.
