DIR. THOMAS RETURNS.
Enjoying Good Health-A Talk
With Him.

| With Him.
DIR. H. j. Thomas arrived home
Sunday. His many friends were
pleased to see him looking so well.
His cap and uniform makes him look
like soldier. He says that he lost
several pounds while at Santiago, but
that ne became himself again after 60
ing to Montauk, L. I. He was not sick
a day while away.
DR.. Thomas is we'll informed and it
is interesting to hear him relate what
he has seen since he left Winston
The situation at Santiago, as he told
in his letters to THE SENTINEL, was a
sad one, but many of the soldiers who
were removed to Montauk have re-
covered. Nearly all of the sick have
been moved from the latter place to
hospitals in Brooklyn, Washington
and other places.
The Doctor says that prominent men
with whom he talked expressed the
opinion that the Commissioners will
have little trouble now in adjusting
the misunderstanding between the
United States and Spain. The latter
was so badly whipped that the Powers
are willing to accede to any reason
able demand.
1t is the prevailing sentiment, how
ever, says DR.. Thomas, that the
Philippine Islands will prove "white
elephant" for the United States.
The authorities at Washington ac-
cepted DR.. Thomas resignation on
Wednesday. He stopped there Satur-
day, made his report and left that
night for home.

A SOLDIER SUICIDES.
/. He Killed a Negro Near Sandy Ridge,
Stokes County.

A letter from Leaksville says that
on Friday night, about five miles from
Leaksville, on the Stoneville road, a
man committed suicide by hanging
himself on the roadside, in front of
Buck Barnes, it is supposed as he
bought rope at Leaksville on Fri
day. His name is John Hundley,
whose father resides near Sandy
Ridge. He has on the uniform of a
United States soldier. A furlough in
his pocket shows that he enlisted in
the Third Virginia regiment. He ran
away about year ago for killing a
negro in Stokes county. No money
was found on his person.

DEATH OF MRS. j. H. PIERCE.
A Good Woman Has Gone to Her Re.
ward-Aged 3:S Years.

The community was shocked Sun
day over the sad news of the death OF
most estimable lady, Mrs. Della
Masten Pierce, wife of Mr.. J. IT.
Pierce, which occurred at her home,
corner of Fifth and Main streets, at
| 40 that afternoon.
Mrs. Pierce was out driving on
Tuesday of last week. She was taken
i'll that night with septic peritonitis.
She was attended by four or five ply
sicians.
Mrs. Pierce was 33 years, l month
and days old. She leaves husband
and three children, who with her aged
mother and her brother, realize what
a great loss they have sustained, but
their loss is her eternal gain. She
was faithful worshipper at the Lu-
theran church, where she was baptized
July Is, 1897. She was kind and af
fectionate wife and mother. She had
very strong faith in the promises of
God, hence was not afraid to die.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Lutheran church at 30
O'Clock p. m. Monday by the pastor,
Rev. w. A. s1utz, assisted by Rev. J.
w. Frank The remains were then
laid to rest in the Salem cemetery.

How About Ex-sherif BaiIey9

Congressman Linney spent Saturday
night with Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds. He
buggy Sunday for Yadkinville.
While in Greensboro Saturday he re-
marked that he is not losing any sleep
over the candidacy of Mr.. Brewer, of
Mt. Airy, to which the Record adds:
',All the same he had as we'll wake up
to the fact that he is to have a whole
lot of bother on his hands. If Brewer
does not wake him up we are very
much mistaken
Wonder if the s'Bull of the Brushes"
would lose any sleep if ex-Sheriff
Bailey, of Davie, should be nominated
by the insurgents.

SATURDAYS CONVENTIoN
Did the Negroes Demand the Defeat
of Miller and Kerner

Some of the Republicans say they
made a mistake in not renominating
Register of Deeds Miller. 1t is said
that the negro delegates demanded
that he and Treasurer Kerner be
dropped and the whites acceded to
their wishes. Why was this? Mr..
Miller was not here. He was at home
on account of the sickness of his wife
Mr.. Kerner returned home Saturday
evening. He had little to say about
his defeat. One fact was noticeable at
Saturdays convention: The atten-
dance of colored people was not near
so large as usual. Some argue that
many of the col red voters are begin
ming to think for themselves and that
they have grown tired of being driven
like sheep by the white bosses.

The Baseball Race.

The race for the National League
baseball pennant seems to be narrow
ing down to a fight between Baltimore
and Boston. AT the beginning of the
week Cincinnati was sandwiched be-
tween the above teams, but the OriOle
players by their brilliant work in a
series of four games against the Reds
displaced their Western rivals, who
are now score of points or more be-
hind the Marylanders. A duplication
of the finish of last year
is apparently in prospect. Both of
the ''B's" are playing remarkably
steady game in the last weeks of the
season, and the outcome is not yet to
be predicted, though Boston is now
ahead by comfortable percentage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The publ
cation of orders for strengthening
General Otis force in the Philippines
simultaneously with the announcement
that the Iowa and the Oregon will sail
for the Orient to augment Dewey 5
squadron, served to call attention to
the situation there and cause much
speculation as to the purpose of the
administra tion. The best authorities
say these movements had their origin
in a determination Of the officers of
the government to be prepared fully
for any possible emergency arising,
and not in any particular act or to
provide against any expected contin-
gency. 1t is positively asserted that
no specific act has occurred which led
