HOW HE GOT THE bonds.

Col. Andrews Went Up and Saw
the Chairman of County Fathers.
The Chronicle says the people of
Wilkes have been objecting to paying
interest on those railroad bonds for
some time. The editor, Bob Deal,
had story last week as to how the
bonds were secured, etc. It goes as
follows:
1.-THE first Monday in September
1890 was the date fixed for the deliv-
cry of the bonds and 1t was publicly
announced that objections would be
heard on that day before delivery of
the bonds. But the railroad was
afraid Of the objectors. and about
August 10th Col. Andrews came up 10
his car, the next morning after the
first train had come through. A
liveryman here had been sent after
the chairman of the Board OF Com mis-
s!oners at 2 o'clock the night before
with instructions to let no one dis
cover his mission, and in Andrews
private car, some 10 or Is days before
the time and without the Knowledge
of cur people, Andrews pocketed the
bonds. On that same day an attor
ney was on his way to Rockingham
court to get an Injunction, but heard
of the bond delivery and returned
after reaching Winston. Since then
attempts have been made to have
the matter Investigated, but the
county commissioners did not see fit
to act till recently"

POSTOFFICE STORY.
Trobles Encountered by a Former p.
NJ. at Daisy.


A well informed Republican re-
Gently told THE SENTINEL story
which is worth printing.
A few years ago Sam Stewart want
ed to be postmaster at Daisy, this
county. The old postmaster was dead
and the wife was looking after the
duties of the office. Sans father
came to Winston and asked this Re-
publican il he thought there was
any chance for his son to get
the Daisy office The father was told
to have Sam get up petition and
send it to our informant. This Was
done and the papers were sent to
made, the bond fixed, but there was a
delay in the commission. Letters were
written to the authorities at Wash
ington and replies came that two
commissions had been forwarded to
the new P. M. at Daisy.
Stewart grew anxious about the
matter and upon the suggestion OF the
Winston Republican the Department
at Washington was Instructed to send
another commission and direct to
Winston. This time Sam Stewart got
the papers and took charge OF the
office.
Our informant says there Is no
doubt but that the two commissions
went tn the Daisy Office, but the party
in charge destroyed them. He did
not mean by this story to insinuate
that the commissions for Col. Lybrook
and Mr.. Ormsby have been pigeon
holed by the old postmasters, as Mr..
Wilson and Capt. Belo are too willing
to get out for anything like that.
Sam Stewart had another trouble a
few days after he went in the Daisy
Office. He received letter from the
Department at Washington asking
what he meant by resigning so soon.
He showed the letter to his Winston
friend and upon investigation it was
learned that somebody had written a
letter to Washington and signed
Stewards name to it, saying he wished
to resign and asking for the appoint.
ment of another party to take charge
of the office. Sam found out the
party who forged his name, but he
never gave the fellow any trouble
about it.

The anniversary service of the Cal

I'reading of the scripture lesson, Ex.

This was followed by prayer, after
which Miss Edna Fisher, member of

brief statistical review OF the growth
OF the Christian Endeavor movement.
from it's inception, just II years ago,
to the present time.
This was followed by an an excel

and the Quiet Hour, in otherswords,
the systematic setting aside of one
work, and the daily 'practicing the

interest accompanied the reading of
this well presented theme
A mixed Juartette next sang Sc

His subject was the linking Of Coos
favor and mans power. He first
drew attention to the deep regard
with which we ali observe power. in
machinery, in animals and in men,
but proceeded to show how naturally
the mental ability in man constituted
his real strength. This should there
fore be placed under the control of
God to be fully efficient. Beyond this
mental power, however, which We are
at times tempted almost to worship
there hes mans moral power, and
this again must be joiDed to the
moral force of God to be in any way
able to lift man to the place that God
intended for him. The address
throughout was carefully prepared
and impressed itself deeply uprn the
minds Of the audience.
After a chorus, For Christ and the

Among the announcements the

CONNECTED LAST WEEK.

The Bell Telephone Company has
closed contract with Mr.. A j. Fair

the business men of Winston.
The above information was learned
in an interview today with Mr.. Fl. p.
Miller, special agent of the Bell Co.
Mr Miller also said that work would
begin in few days on their line from
here to Greensboro. The Bell sub
scribers in Danville, Va, now have
communication with Reidsville and

of construction from Wentworth to

latter point with the Fair line, thus

MORMONS AND NEGROES.

Colored People.

The Elders Have Nothing to do With
Colored People.
It is noticeable fact that Mormon
Missionaries land there are number
of them in North Carolina) do not try
to establish their faith and build
churches in the communities they
visit, but they seek to ship their con-
verts to Utah.
THE SENTINEL Is told that the two
Elders who are trying to win converts
in W1nston-Salem told the blind mu-
sician Whicker, who resides on North
Liberty street, that he could make
four or five dollars per day in Utah
making music.
There is another point that Is being
discussed here as well as elsewhere
that the iOrmon Elders have nothing
whatever TO do with the negroes. A
majority of adventures find the
Southern negro an easy prey and it is
somewhat surprising that the Mormon
missionaries fight shy of Sambo.
A Mormon elder has recently been
interviewed on this subject and the
interviewer learned some interesting
facts to-wit: There is not single
negro in Utah; that there is an un-
written law that negroes shall not
live iu Utah and that MOrmons have
a belief that negroes are doomed to
all eternity and have no part in the
Kingdom.
The colored population should con-
gratulate themselves that the Nor
mon Missionaries give them the go-by,
as they are gamers and not losers
