DELIGHTFD WITH HIS VISIT.
Dr. riclver and Our City Schools.
Lectures at the Normal.
President C. D. Mclver, of the State
Normal, Greensboro, who visited Win
ston's city schools yesterday, returned
home today. He stated to a reporter
that he was delighted with his visit;
thas he found all the rooms looking
bright and cheerful. He was especial
ly pleased with the decorations, say-
ng that he tuought more attention was
paid to this feature here thad at any of
the public schools in the state. The
professor added that the decorations
never failed to make a good impres
sion on a visitor.
Dr. Mclver informed the Sentinel

Polo y Bernabe.
Many well informed people have
been making inquiries concerning the
odd manner in which the name of the
new Spanish minister is written. On
this point Mr. Robert D. Douglas
gives us the following explanation:
Polo would be the Senor's name if
he were a plain American, but is en
tirely too democratic to suit Spanish
ideas. The custom among some of the
higher classes of Spaniards is to write
their mother's name and add to it the
connective y, followed by the maiden
name of the mother, and it is this cus
tom which has caused many to wonder
whether the gentleman's name is Mr.
Polo or Mr. Bernabe.
Dr. R. F. Gray's Illness.
Dr. and Mrs. R. F. Gray left on the
10:30 train today for Baltimore, where
the former goes to enter the Johns

Washington, April 6 The presi
dent's message is waiting for Lee and
the Americans to get away safely from

portation sufficient for the number
now on the island. The following is
a correct forecast of the most impor
tant provisions of the message: The
tone is firm and vigorous. It recom
mends that the president be empowered
to use armed land and naval forces to
expel Spain from Cuba. The qualifi
cation, "at his discretion," was so
strongly urged by one element of con
gress that it be not included in the
message but that it will be left to con
gress to say whether authority shall
be used by the president immediately
or at his discretion. The message
contains no recommendation for the
recommendation of Cuban independ
enc. The president is unalterably op
posed to such an action at present.

Key West, April 5 This is evidence

Gold Comes From Europe.

New York, April 6 The steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse arrived
last night from Europe and brought

thousand dollars of gold.
North Carolina's Mills.
"Nearly all the cotton and woolen
mills of North Carolina," according
to the local correspondent of the Wool
and Cotton Reportc, "are running
on either double or extra time. Even
the new jpl ants put in operation during
the present year, of which there are
quite a number, have orders which ne
cessitate extra time operations. Many
of the latter are selling their products
largely, some of them, wholly, to the
foreign trade, China and Japan being
large customers. One of the Carolina
mills shipped goods, representing
three months' output directly to Japan
the goods having been bought before
being manufactured." This is pleas
ing news to be sure, but it has one
unpleasant suggestion in it. "All the
woolen mills" in -North Carolina are
running on double or extra time, and
there is not one in South Carolina.

out with shot guns, thinking it a lynch
ing party. Firing on both sides was
lively. Four whites and four negroes
were wounded. The whites retired.

Holton's New Chief Cle: k.
S. T. Neale received notification
yesterday of his removal as chief clerk
in District Attorney Holton's office.
Col. James Martin has been appoint
ed to the vacancy and will assume
charge of the position at once. Mr.
Neale was chief clerk under R. B.
Glenn and held over to this time. His
services as chief clerk have been effi
cient and were perfectly satisfactory
to both the ex-district attorney and
the present one, but the ways of poli
tics must prevail and Mr. Neale had
to go because he is a democrat.
Col. Martin has resigned as U. S.

EDITORS TO THE FRONT.
Ez -Confederate Wants to Command
War Editors and Congressmen.
I was talking yesterday with a gen
tleman who won honor and promotion
as a confederate soldier about the
prospects qf war. He is a strong anti-war
man, and expresses his hostility
to war vigorously and emphatically.
"I thought,"he said, "that I would
never go to war again. I am beyond
the age and I had my share during the
civil war, but I have about decided to
enlist if we have a war with Spain upon
oneconditon."
I ventured to ask what his condition
was.
"I think of writing to the Governor
and offering to volunteer if he will let
me command a company composed ex
clusively of those editors and Con
gressmen who are clamoring - for war,
and who will be satisfied with nothing
but war. I want to take them into the
very front ranks, and where the fight
ing is the hottest and let them get a
taste of what they say they want"
This anti-war man continued:
"I have no heart to see the flower of
the country killed and ruins and
country come to give freedom to a lot
of negroes who are not fit for self
government. Three southern states by
law disfranchise the negroes, saying
that they cannot govern, and yet we
are asked to go to war to procure in
dependence for men not a whit better
qualified than those whose votes give
us bad government here." News and
