 There is every reason to predict q large attendance From all parts of the State come the cheerful tid- ings that the people are coming.
 The farmers have been blessed with fair and early crops, and al. though the price is little low, this will be more than overcome by the abundance of the produce In few isolated communities the cotton crop has suffered, but this condition is by no means general The farm CTS being in fairly cheerful mood, men of all other lines Of business are and of right should be, in same good humor and ready for the ten days amusements The merchants parade and other attractions in this city will entice many from the couu= try who otherwise might not coma to swell the attendance. The spe- cial Program of Days will also serve to attract all elasses,2 agricultural mechanical aed professional.
 Favorable railroad rates have mace it possible for an unprece- dented number of visitors to come to the Bluff City during the Fair. A rate of one fare or less for the round trip has been arranged by all the railroads entering the city.
 No finer opportunity for obtain ing valuable information while be ing splendialY entertained, than that afforded by great far like the one we are to have beginG4og the 18th. It will be short university course, with vacation joys and the pleasures of study dehghtfuliy blended The man Who is interested in improved machinery, live stock, fruits. grains, vegetables, the exhibits demonstrate ing the very latest triumphs iu the arts of husbandry and mechanics, will gain in practical knowledge many times the 5cost of his stay. He will, moreover, meet and ex. change ideas with others similarly intereste and will return home broadened, encouraged and equip. ped for better and more profitable work. Not less instructive, and possibly more entertaining, will the experience be to the good wife and the children.

 And to all the thousands who come, Pine Bluff extends a cordial welcome, with the assurance that the fair management Las everything so well arranged that all will be made comfortable and happy, no matter how great the throns.

An Heroic Act.

The Heople of this community owe Dr. Pendleton and Capt. J. B John son debt of gratitude for their heroic self-sacrifice in volunteering last Saturday to go to Warner to in vestigate the suspected yellow fever case and report on the same.3 Those who realize the desperate chances taken by the two volunteers and the inconvenience, personal discomfort and financial loss that would have accrued to them had the suspected cuse proved to be genuine yellow fever, can appreciate the distin- quished service performed for the community by Dr. Pendleton and Capt. Johnson. At the board of health meeting when these two gen tlemen were requested to make the perilous trip, Dr. Goree, pr. Pen dIetons professional partner, and others, vehementIy opposed the motion, pointing out tke danger to life and the financial loss that would ensue to Dr. Pendieton in the event the case should develop to be yellow fever, yet all ofthese warnings were received with a pleasant smile and Dr. Pendleton stood steadfast in his determination to 20 and investigate the case, regardless of personal con sequences. A motion was then made to guaran tine the volunteers for a period of sixty days, but this also failed. Notwithstanding the prospect of having to stay In quar- antine and suffer the discomforts thereof, in the event the case proved to be yellow jack, upon the assur- ance of the board of health that they would undertake to reimburse him for all financial loss, Dr. Pen dleton remained steadfast in his de- termination to perform the danger ous but distinguished service.
 The movement proved to be quite the proper one. Dr. PendIeton is an expert in the treatment Of swamp fever and Capt. Johnson an expert ia nursing yellow fever. It was reasonably certain that any diag- nosis they would make would prove the correct one, aud thus the people could be protected from the ravages of yellow jack, or their fears quieted in the event the ease proved any thing else, The quick action of the board of health and the prompt ser vice of Dr. Pendleton and Capt. Johnson at once quieted what prom ised to be panic, and thus today the people of Pine Bluff are moving along as if nothing had happened.
 The Graphic believes in according praise where it is earned and de, served, and in applauding heroic conduct and action. Dr. Pendleton and Capt. Johnson went where others feared to tread and proved themselves heroes of tho proper sort Let them be given the praise they SO deservedly won.

THREE MEN KILLED.
A Bad Wreck on the N. & w. Road
Yesterday Afternoon.

A passenger train was wrecked on
the N. & w. road, near Shawsville,
Va, Sunday afternoon, and three
men were killed.
A press telegram gives the names of
the dead as follows: Engineer Al
Horner, Bristol, Va; Fireman Ed
Sadler, Bristol, Va; Mail Clerk A.
S. Francis, Marion, Va.
The injured are: Mail Clerk 1. ".
Gill, Lynchburg, Va, seriously; two
express messengers, names not known;
several passengers, names not known.
Engineer Homer was buried be-
meath his engine and Fireman Sadler
was so badly scalded that he died two
hours later.
The train was running down grade
at the usual rate and just at the en-
trance of cut the tlange of the out
side rail broke, derailing the engine.
The mail coach jumped over the en-
bankment and was overturned, being
completely demolished.
Mail Clerk Francis had his neck
broken. Mail Clerk Gill was severely
injured, and how he escaped death is
a miracle. The express car was jam
med into the mass of debris, and the
two messengers were badly shaken up.
The front passenger car was deratled
and half dozen passengers were In
jured, but none seriously. A special
train bearing the officials and a corps
of physicians was dispatched to the
scene of the disaster and the remains
of the killed and injured were carried
to Roanoke Sunday evening.

A Consumption Cure.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
T. is said that pulmonary con-
sumption has killed more human
beings than all the wars ever waged,
and there is good reason to believe
that the statement is true.
Anything, therefore, that promises
to lessen the ravages of this dread
disease must be received with deep
interest and lively hope.
DR.. j. B. Murphy, an eminent
surgeon of Chicago, claims to have
discovered a new and practically in
fallible cure for consumption. Simply
stated, DR.. Murphy's plan is to
apply surgical science to lung treat
ment by infusing nitrogen gas into
the diseased member. quieting it to a
state of collapse and trusting nature
to do the rest. He would relieve the
diseased member from active service,
as it were, and during it's period of
rest would treat it with a plegritic
effusion accomplished by simple
surgical operation.
DR.. Murphy does not rely on
theory as the foundation for his faith
in this treatment. He says he has
effected several cures with his treat
nent in cases which seemed utterly
hopeless. The Chicago Chronicle
devotes much space to an account of
the Murphy treatment and seems tn
be greatly impressed by it.

THIS YEARS FAIR.

If anybody has doubted that we
would have a Fair this Fall let him
doubt no more.
The ball has been set in motion by
the officers and Executive Committee,
in an earnest and enthusiastic way,
as will be seen by reference to the
proceedings of last nights meeting,
to be found in our news columns
today.
Last years Fair was a glorious
success and won the admiration and
praise of every visitor and by and
through the thousands of attend
ants tine pluck and energy and get
up and-get of WiDston-Sa was
sounded far and near.
There is fixed purpose that the
efforts of the present year shall re-
suit in something greater and grand
er than we witnessed with SO much
pride last year.
This purpose will be crowned with
success, provided the Fair authori-
ties are as Loyalty and as cheerfully
supported by the community as they
were last year.
The former success was due to the
wise management of those placed in
charge of the undertaking and to the
earnest aud united cooperation of
our people generally.
Let the same conditions obtain
this year and success is assured.
The authorities have started out
with the same vim that characterized
their last years administration with
the advantage of experience and with
the added zeal that naturally comes
from past success. Now let the peo-
pie, who have seen the gratifying
outcome of united purpose and
united effort, take hold of the mat
ter with even greater earnestness
than they did last year.
The pace that we set at the last
Fair will awaken great expectations
wherever the announcement is heard
that Winston will have Fair this
year. These expectations must not
be disappointed.
Let US pull together as one man,
with the determination to have the
grandest Fair ever held in the State.

native of North Carolina. He was
bern just over the Richmond county
line, about FIVE miles east of Lauren
burg, where his father then lived.
When the boy was about three years
Of age, his father and family moved to
Robson county and lived at Floral
College for five or six years, and then
moved to Marion county, South Caro-
lima, where the family has lived ever
since. His father, the late John g..
Blue, practiced law in Richmond and
Robson counties. and afterward in
South Carolina. Young Blue went to
Annapolis ten or twelve years ago,
where he graduated with honor.
While at Annapolis he had the repu-
tation of being the finest looking man

daughter of Gen. Evans, of Marion, s.
c., and was lady OF remarkable in
tellect and character.
The bravery shown by Lieutenant
Blue has made him a hero, whose
name will go down in the lasting his
tory of his country, and his relatives

A SMALL POTATO.

There is one editor in the Unite d
States small enough and mean
enough to object to the reunion of
the Confederate Veterans at Atlanta
next month, as we learn from the
Savannah News. The pusillanimous
ohjector says it is feared 'that the
meeting will revive old and bitter
memories and stir up sectionalism,
which should not be done at this
time, when the country is at war
with foreign foe."
The News says the Confederate
Veterans organization distinctly
teaches end breaches patriotism,
loyalty to the flag under which we
iive," and adds:
"There will no doubt be a very
large attendance upon the reunion.
The war will rearouse the martial
spirit of the old soldiers, and they
will make an especialeffort to attend.
While there will be many stirring
"reminiscences of battles fought in
the sixties, a great deal of attention
will be given by the attendants to
the war which is now going on, and
it is perfectly safe to say that among
the thousands of ex-Confederates
who will be present there will not be
one who will entertain a disloyal or
sectional thought in connection with
the current war or utter word that
is not to the end of upholding the
flag and stimulating the proper
spirit for it's defense"
The Washington Post, which is
ever ready to defend the South
against it's maligners, referring to
the utterances of the small potato
now under consideration says:
ut is disagreeable-it jars harshly
on the ear and ofends the aesthetic
sense-to have the bray of an ass or
his half-brother, the mule. injected
into a grand concert of harmonies.
But such an offensive accident, or
incident, has often happened. Theo-
dore Thomas and his orchestra were
thus disturbed in the midst of one Of
their exquisite renditions; but no one

The Heroes Of the Stokehole.

At Manila, off Habana, before
Santiago, in storm or in quiet seas,
the true heroes ere those in the
stokehole. With matches battened,
far down below the water line, know
ing nothing of what is going on, it
may be to go down with the boat
without hope of an escape, with
death in horrible forms threatening
on all sides, the men In the fire and
engine rooms serve their country and
serve it well. On the deck, behind
the guns, the comparative freedom
and openness of the conflict stimu-
late; down below 1t is the grimness of
duty with nothing to relieve the
tension and with surroundings that
make for physical depression If not
mental despair.
Here is q bit of the log of the
Oregon: on the morning of April
Both weather was searching hot;
down in the fire and engine rooms
the temperature reached $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. The Oregon plunged
ahead at q speed of fourteen and a
half knots, with only natural
draught. For ten hours she ran at
this speed. In this run James
McGaragle, first fireman, was pros
trated by heat, but in a few minutes
recovered and insisted on being
taken back to his post. At no time,
it is said, during the entire voyage
was the temperature In the engine
room ever below 125 degrees.

TO SENTINEL SUBSCRIBERS.

Mr.. L L. Thomas, is now on the

to exchange receipts for cash for past
due and new subscriptions and we
bespeak for him rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-
MEL is very low and the paper trust
is making US pay more for paper, the
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products on
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford TO sell it on long
time. So we urge prompt settlement
of amounts now due.

from Mr.. E. A. Ebert, but he thought
the president had taken snap judge
ment Oh him as he did not expect to
be called upon so early, but Mr..

After more singing, Mr. Ebert told
us of school he had visited east of
Winston, and 50 b a school and such
q talk should fire the hearts OF all
