THE COUNTY FAIR.
Let 1t be Consolidated With the To-
baccO Fair.

We would suggest that the County
Fair, which has been held at Oak
Grove for several years, be consoli-
dated with the Tobacco Fair, held at
Winston.
The County Fair, at it's present To-
cation, has been very creditable, in
deed, but removal from one corner
OF the county TO central location and
a business mart, like Winston, should
and will materially extend its proper
tions by enlisting the interest of a
larger number of our country friends.
We understand that the removal
wonld be satisfactory to the manage
ment of the County Fair and we. think
it will meet the hearty approval of the
Tobacco Fair management and of our
citizens generally.
The only difficulty we see is the lack
of buildings, but we hope that means
will be devised for overcoming this
difficulty. At any rate let the matter
receive prompt and earnest consid idera-
ton and, if it be possible, let the two
Fairs be consolidated

County Ticket Suggested.

THE SENTINEL is in receipt of the
following communication from one of
Forsyth's IS leading farmers: I wish to
suggest winning ticket for this Fall

William M. Hinshaw; clerk, Rufe
Transou; register of deeds, N. w.
Sapp; treasurer, Albert Atwood; COM
missioners, r. S. Linville, Albert
Wharton and r. L. Cox. We believe
for sheriff, Hinshaw will carry more
votes than any man in the county.
For many reasons I write this as a
suggestion of many citizens.

INSURGENT LEADER
Declared to be a Strong Friend of the
Americans

HONG KONG, Aug. 1I.-Members of
the Philippine Junta called publicly
upon Consul Wildman to protest
against the reports that Aguinaldo
had declined to aid the Americans in
the battle of July 3lst, and also that
he had deserted the trenches, failing
to warn the Americans of the approach
of the Spanish. They claim that Ag-
uinaldo has kept every promise made
since he left Hong Kong and also tn at
his life and the lives of the men of his
command are at the disposal of Mer-
ritt and Dewey-that his only desire is
the annexation of the Philippines by
the United States. If the Junta is to
be believed the Japanese government
is anxious to take hand in the Phi
lippine game.
