In opposing the traffic in futures %
The SENTINEL has been guided by
what it conceived to be it's duty.
We have shown beyond successful
contradiction that such traffic is
prohibited by the State law. Our
observation has taught us that such
concerns are demoralizing and harm
full, promoting the gambling spirit
and often entailing ruin, and hence
in opposition to the best interests OF
a community. These facts consti
tute the basis of our objection and
we are not to be moved from our
position. 1t is now time that the
moral sentiment of the community
should make itself felt and demand
that the law shall be respected.

The BIG wheat DEAL.
Chicago Combination Claims to Own
Every Bushel of Surplus.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-"Basing our
estimate on the Government figures,
we think we own every busbel of
surplus wheat in this country :"
George F. French, the active mans
ager of t. g big wheat combination
was speaking for himself and Joseph
Letter who is the visible head of the
clique.
He said: According to the most
reliable estimates obtainable we
think there is not more than IL, O00.-
600 bushels of wheat uuacco lutable
for. Scattered over the different
parts of the country we have hold
ipgs of at least that amount, so we
can safely claim to have possessi on
of all the surplus.
"The situation is simply this" de-
clared Mr.. French. Everything
goes to show that this country has
sent abroad more than its exportable
surplus. We think WI eat has beer
| over exported to the extent of 15,
100000 or 100000 bushels ant
that the United States is the coun tr,

Norfolk county. The entire family
of Edware Bolt, of that place, cons

were stricken with violent illness
Immediately after supper last night
The young woman was seized wit b

agony within an hour after the meal.
Medical assistance was in the mean>
time summoned, and by hard work
the lives of the wife and son were
saved. Bolt, himself, was the only
member of the family who did not
drink coffee for supper, and he was
the only one who escaped poisoning
The coffee is supposed to have
contained arsenic The county cor,

TIE PUBLIC BUILDING.

A telegram from Mr. Holton brings
the cheering news relative to our
public building that the prospects
are favorable with determined effort.
With this situation there should be
no lack of effort, at least so far as
our own people are concerned, and
the fact that such effort is an import
ant factor iu the matter we should
lie stimulated by the hope of success
to do our level best This is a sub
ject upon which there should be no
division of sentiment-Do cfashiDg of
any kind, upon political or other
grounds-because it is a matter in
which the entire community is inter
ested.
Every citizen should earnestly
! desire that We have a public building.
Not only because it would be an
ornament TO the city, but also be-
cause we n. ed it and deserve it., and
moreover, because it would be to the
| interest of the Government to erect
! it and locate the Federal court here
aud thus save thousands of dollars
annually of the taxpayers money
The QUESTION OF the location of the
building and other details need not
be considered now, but the one Vita
point that should be persistently
urged is the securing of an appropri
alton and that sufficiently large tc
erect a building that will be com
mensurate with the needs of thu
| Government for Postoffice anC
Federal Court purposes.
We are gratified to see our bushes,
| men SO enthusiastic, so energetic ane
so determined in the matter, indicat
ing a strong and united pull for tn,
desired object. Let the entire com
munity, by word and act, offe
every possible encouragement ant
assistance.
We are simply asking for what W
need and ought to have and wha
the Government needs and ought t.
have, as a fair and uDprejudiced com
mittee of Congress can be convince'
by an array of facts and figures.
Ii there is but one place in tn
country that hasn't a public building
and should haye if, that place
Winston.
Encouraged by the justice of on
cause, let US persevere until gu
efforts are crowned with success
until an appropriation bill for tn
Winston public building has passe
both Houses of Congress.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1898-02-03

The renewed interest in the matter
of public building for our city is
gratifying and we trust that every
effort possible will be used to secure
an appropriation for the purpose.
We are simply asking for what is due
US, and that we haven't a building
now is conspicuous instance of
delay on the part of the government
in recognizing just deserts. The
greater part of the labor incident to
the matter must fall upon the
committee to whom it has been
entrusted, but they may be assisted
and encouraged by the cordial
support of our people. Let this
support be freely and cheerfully given
and let US all act with harmonious
unanimity in the eff orts that are now
being put forth.

THE SOUTH BOUND.

In response to an inquiry, we are
informed that the subject of con-
structiDg the Winston Salem South
Bound railway is receiving earnest
| attention at the hands of the Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
1t will be greatly to the interest of
our city and section if the project can
be pushed to a successful culmina-
ton. The completion of the Mocks-
vile extension is very desirable.
Likewise is the proposed short cut
from Reidsville to Kernersville, but
even of greater Importance to Us.
perhaps, is the South-Bound, which
is not only desirable within itself,
but would add to the value of the
other schemes mentioned.
This matter, we submit, should
not have been permitted to rest sc
long, but as the past cannot be re
called the course to pursue now is to
push it as earnestly and as promptly
as is feasible.
The charter for the road is as
favorable as can possibly be hoped
to secure and there is danger tina,
delay in beginning operations viii

There appears to be scarcely 6

M'K1NLEY,s SPEECH.

The speech made by the President
before the National Association of
Manufacturers of the United States,
at New York, several days since,
shows that he 10 unequivocally for
the gold standard and opposed to
bimetallism except by the consent Of
foreign nations. All of which means
that the gold standard is fastened
upon this country until another
President is chosen, as the wire-pull-
ers who contributed to McKinley's
election intended it should be, unless
one of two things shall occur, viz:
~ change of mind upon the part
of the President in keeping with pop
ular demand; or, (2) the election of
Congress with sufficient bimetallic
strength to pass a free coinage bill
over the Presidents veto.
In his New York speech, in dwelling
upon the beauties of the gold stand
ard, Mckinley remarked:
+, "Nor will we ever consent that the
wages of labor or it's frugal savings
shall be scaled down, by permitting
payment in dollars of less value than
| the dollars accepted as the best in
| every enlightened nation of the
| earth"
And yet Mckinley knew when he
was making this high sounding
statement that the wages of labor
are being scaled down by the whole
| sale under the gold standard. Does
he hope to fool the laboring people
of this country again, as thousands
OF them were fooled prior to the last
election, by honeyed promises oil
prosperity?
These laboring people are begin
ming to see where the shoe pinches.
and they cannot be made to believe
that reduction of wages from ten
to twenty per cent. means prosperity
| for them, however much of prosperity
it may bring to the high-salaried
officers of the corporations and the
participants in fifteen thousand
dollar dinners given for the purpose
of discussing the situa ton.

 bard Goodale, Yesterday Afternoon.
 The children got the usual amount of fun out of Valentines day. Fully as many valentines as usual were sent out and the Sunday evening mail was so loaded down that it was delayed half an hour. The sending of flowers instead of valentines was adopted by some. Smith T. Bradley, the florist, says that he made up many punches of flowers for customers to take the place of valentines, and that this cus- tom was first adopted one year ago.
 The committee of Fair Haven young men that gave several dances in East Haven last winter is arranging for a sociable to be given in the town hall at that place tomorrow (Thursday) evening. There will be good music for dancing and an excellent supper will be prepared. The cars will leave the J street at S:15 D. m. An excellent time is assured to all those who attend this event.
 Rev. Chauncey J. Hawkins is to preach at the Second Congregational church next Sunday morning and even- ing. Mr. Hawkins is the assistant pas- tor at the Humphrey street church. The committee is assured that those who attend will be much pleased with MT. Hawkins.
