Lawyer Benbow and the Wilkes
Bond Case.

Referring to the card of Xr L. b.
Benbow, published in THE SENTINEL
few days ago, relative to his refusal
as attorney for Wilkes to appear in
the bond case, the Chronicle says:
'sThis editor was present at the Com
missioners' Court when the order en-
ploying him was passed and when the
messenger returned with the answer
of refusal on the grounds that the fee
offered was too small and that he
could get more on the other side. This
is all we said and can produce half a
hundred affidavits to substantiate it..

NEGROES GREATLY ALARMED

A Rabbit Foot Found in a Well in
Yadkin County.
A strange fatality seems to have
oyertaken the family OF Willis Kicker
son, negro living at Jonesville, Yad-
kin county About six months ago
his daughter, Jennie, sickened and
died. A month ago another daughter,
Ella, died in the same manner A
week afterward, Willis, the father,
passed away, and on Tuesday a grown
son, Nathan, expired. They were all
attacked in the same way. They
seem to waste and die. The well at
their place was cleaned out last week
and down in the bottom was found a
rabbits foot and three little balls OF
something or another tied up in cot.
ton rag. The negroes in that section
are greatly alarmed and think there is
witch or cOnjurer in their midst.

A Pulling Problem.

s. Wise, of Virginia, to Washington
Post reporter, IS he walked across the
rOtunda Of the capitol yesterday after
noon.
II attended a session of the Daughters
Of the Revolution" continued Mr..
Wise, ''and one of the ladies who made
an address had the several sheets which
contained her remarks carefully pinned
together. As she proceeded with her
speech she would detach a sheet and
put the pin in her mouth. Then she
would detach another sheet and put
another pin in her mouth. She kept
this up for several minutes, and yet
she continued talking all the time. /

Instruction in Road-BuildiDg.

The opportunities for instruction in
building different kinds of roads afford
ed occasionally at fairs and institutes,
and by sample sections that have been
laid under Government auspices, have
been very valuable, and have aroused
the people somewhat to a realization Of
the importance of regular instruction on
this subject. The Worcester Mass. J
Gazette suggests that it would be weil
if the state spent portion of the enor-
nous sum appropriated annually for
the highway system in holding insti-
tutes of instruction for highway super
visors, commissioners, selectmen, and
all others who have to do with road
building. 1t thinks the trouble with
the highway bailder usually is that he
does not consider his business prO,es-
sion, and needs to learn from the expe-
rience of others. "By establishing a
school for construction in road build
ing, the state could do a greater service
to the public than by using the amount
such school would cost in build
ing maeadam roads through the eoun-
try"

An Overlooked Crop.

a great many suggestions have been
made in favor of renovating the land,
and to secure improvement at small
cost by plowing under green crops. OF
the crops recommended may be men,
Jioned clover, COW peas, sofa beans, rye,
and even corn and millet. There is an
other crop, however, which has been
somewhat overlooked, and which can
be grown on almost any soil, and that
is turnips. The turnip crop need not
be planted until July, or even August,
aud it grows rapidly, being Off the land
in a short time. On medium land from
thirty to forty tons can be grown, and
The tops are more valuable than the
bulbs for turning under. The English
farmers grow turnips, allow sheep to
feed on them, and turn them under as
Al manurial crop. Turnips may be
broadeasted on well prepared land,
n-ing plenty of seed, and they will
soon cover the ground. Crops are grown
that way in the Southern states, and
the cost is but little, as they require no
cultivation when the seed is broad
casted.

How Bees Hatch.

The eggof thequeen bee is about one
sixteenth of an inch long, and as large
around as Il fine cambria needle. These
are deposit d in the cells by the queen,
sticking fas to the bottom of the cell
so as to stand on end, being held by an
adhesive substance. In from sixty to
seventy-two hours these eggs hatch into
little worms or larvae. They remain
in the larval state about six days, when
the cell containing them is sealed over
with raised eApping by the worker bees,
and the larvae, after spinning its cocoon
and undergoing a transformation SINH
lar to that from caterpillar 10 butte;-

Best Way to Clean Carpets.

The method employed in the British
factories for cleaning velvet, mOquette,
Aubisson, etc, carpets is the simplest,
as to means, conceivable. It requires
great faithfulness, bnt, given a good
carpet to start with, if done every six
months, should preserve tue fabric in
good order for twenty-five years.
BY this passing Of quarter Of a cen
tury the cOlors wi i be faded, bit they
will have faded so beautifully as to be
more grateful TO the eye and better than
ever fulfill the carpets mission, which
is to be a background to the furni-
ture.
Have two large pans of water, one
clear aud tepid and the other hot and
soapy, made 50 by shaving "white
eurd" soap, say, two ounces of soap to
two gallons Of water. Have plenty of
perfectly clean white cotton rags, free
from thread ends and clint"
Take a square Of the carpet at one
time and wash the surface quickly with
a clean rag and the soapy water. Take
up as much Of the soiled water as pos
sible, then wiring out this cloth into a
third pan Of tepid water. Take the
other pan of tepid water and wipe the
soaped and clean surface well, being
careful as possible TO rub over, not rub
in. Then wipe this with clean cloths
until as dry as reasonable in 50 short a
time. Proceed with the rest of the car
pet until finished, guarding against
any shadOwy boundary lines by going
back of each square as you continue.
Change the water at every third or
fourth square; more often if the carpet
needs it.
The very first square will give your
reward of merit within an hour. Not
only will the carpet look clean and feel
cleaner, but it will be improved and
have greater strength and prettiness.
This washing is good for the textile, if
the rule is followed and you do not get
lazy over it, bat rub faithfully and let
the dry sunny air sweep over and raise
each tuft of the weaving until as good
as new.
1t is safer after illness TO send a car
pet away to the cleaners, but il is
doubtful if the special places for doing
this will employ any method 50 faith
ful and simple, so reasonable aud so
professional as this. Clean soap, clean
water and clean white cDttOn cloths
are the pharmaeopOeia for the we'll
being of all beautiful textile fabrics.
