Calls Winston a Five City and SaysSbe Has Salem to Keep Her Straight Delighted With His Visir. Ilcv. E O. Guerrant, I. D. of Louisville, Ky., who recently assisted Pastor Caldwell in a series of meetings at the First Presbyterian church, has written a very kind letter to the Christian Observer, of Louisville, about our towns and people. He says: .With some trepidation I ventured up into North Carolina to make a visit, to my former co-laborer in Kentucky, Rev Robert K. Caldwell, o' Winston. As this was my first visit. North Caro lina 'did herself proud." .She smiled for two weeks strait along, and sup plied us with the best in the. house-' o ail mat was good anri seasonable. I found a live man at the head of a line church Probably you have n ot icpd hat these things generally go together. Winston, herself, is a live young city, with her quiet and quaint old ucighhor, Salem, the Moravian town, to keep her straight and set her a good example. These twin-cities, sitting in the Piedmont Hills east of the big mountains, furnish happy and eleuant homes for some twenty thous and brave and generous people. The principal industry here is the manu facture of tobacco, made in some thirty or forty big houses. After ex amining the process, I was glad 1 do not use the weed, thougu doubtless many better men do i who never saw it made1. And the factories Jwere just as nice and clean as tobacco can be made. THE MORAVIANS. Dui ing my stay at Winston, I had the pleasure of visiting the old Mo ravian settlement of Wachovia, rive miles from the city, and about 5oo from the hurry and Hurry and folly of this high pressure age. These good old Moravians came here in lTo.'J, and are worshipping in the old church, and living in the old houses, and read ing and believiag the old Bible, and singing the old songs, and practicing the old virt ues of Luther, Melancthou and Zinzendorf. On the top of a high hill, overlook ing the quiet valley, in another set tlement only a little quieter, where '"the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep." It is a model graveyard so quiet, so peaceful, so unostentatious: all the graves level and alike, save old Mattit.;us Stacii, First Missionary to Greenland. Born 1711. Died 17S7. A plain marble shaft marks the last resting place of this first apostle to the Arctic world. It stands in the centre of hundreda of his humble brethren's simple graves, numbered and marked and all alike. Just below it I read No. 1. Anna Maria Orizin. Died 1757. These Moravians once owned one hundred thousand acres of land here and now nearly all is sold and the pro ceeds used to send their devoted mis sionaries to the perishing, people in the ends of the earth. They have ex changed these North Carolina bills for kingdoms and crowns in heaven. May God multiply their numbers aad their followers. TIIE MEETING AT WINSTON. I bad the pleasure to preach a couple of weeks for Brother Caldwell fn "his large and elegant church at Winston. There was nothing wanting to insure success. 1 could not make a suggestion. In every appointment it was admirable. The singing by twenty-five trained voices, with two instruments; the splendid corps of ushers: the attendance which left no standing room; the profound atten tion; the earnest prayer and faithful labors of pastor and people; the hearty co-operation of brethren of other churches, made it easy and de lightful to preach there. 1 need hard ly say that God honored such pecple. He never fails to do it. Over one hundred souls were brought into the kingdom, and many backsliders re claimed, and the Christian people built up and established in their faith. It was "good to be there," and I was sorry to have to leave. But all good things have an end but heaven. NO KXTItA SESSION. Governor CarrXbinks It Would be Bad Policy to Have it Meet Again. Many inquiries have been made dur ing the past few days whether Govern or Carr would call an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of un doinglsome of the wrongs it has heap ed upon the State and her people. The Constitution allows pay for not over twenty days at extra sessions The Governor is given power to ball it by and with the advice of the Council of Sate, and is required to state the specific purpose for which he thinks it necessary the Legislature should meet, but if the Council's decision is adverse the Governor is powerless to have the Legislature assemble. Tue Legislature which has just ad journed absolutely ignored the Gov ernor's recommendations and he has no reason to think it would do any better at a special session. The Governor was specially inter viewed Thursday and said: "It is a matter for the Governor and and his council. The latter cannot act save upon a call of the Governor and there seems to be a sentiment among those who came in contact with the last Legislature not to have it assemble in the Capital City again." Benefits of Factories. The Newbern Journal 'says : "Our business people know what a help the canning factory Is to trade when It is running. Some mention of the money it puts into circulation is given in an other column. The benefits of the canning factory are realized because the difference is felt when it is run ning and when it is not. Yet this is only one establishment. What a difference it would make if we had a dozen or two factories, of various kinds, so that some would be running at all seasons. It will be a good policy for the merchants themselves to start such if others do not for each factory that is run will multiply customers in all lines. Now is the time to take thnt bast of aU spring medicines, Avar's rapariUa. THE WAU ON BACHELORS. There are Two Many of Them in .Wln-stoif-Salem. "It is somewhat surprising," re marked a citizen today, "that the recent Legislature did not impose a special tax on bachelors to be used for the care and comfort of the maids or better known as the older sisters." Had the Fusionists passed such ;i bill, Winstoo-Salem would have con tributed a handsome sum as there are a number of the older brothers hee who should and might have been joined in the bonds of holy wedlock several years ago. The backelors.not only in the Twin City, but throughout ttie country, are likely to have their boasted comforts rudely wrested from them unless events take a different turn in the near future. Heretofore many of that class have been disposed to sneer at t he bent; tits and blessings of married life, and point with affected pride at the peace and happiness of the other state, o far as men are concerned. They talk patronizingly of the lectures their married male friends receive, and hint sarcastically at the value of paregoric and soothing syrup as pro moters of domestic quiet. They are not troubled with buying shoes fi.r many little feet, and gloat, or pretend to at least, over the delights of novel reading on a wiuter's night in a warm room by a bright fire with no woman's presence to annoy or make afraid. However, as lias already been men tioned, they have had their day, and, in yiew of what is to come, would do well to make the most of the fleeting pleasures they now enjoy. Already the women of the West have asserted themselves. In Colorado, Kansas and other States, they are coming to the front as voters, holders of ortlce aud rulers of men. Lately they were assembled in large numbers in Washington planning and schem ing to make their power felt and press their claims. But this is not all. Their erring brother, seeing the er rors of the past, is coming to the front and aiding them, not only in their efforts to hold office and vote, but in other lines. Already a bill has passed one branch of the Texas legislature taxing old bachelors more and more each year as they persist in their stupid course, and only a few days ago a bill was in troduced in the legislature of Illinois which goes even further than this, inasmuch as it levies an annual tax on old bachelors, which amount is to be laid aside till the sum total reaches $.j0,0ou, when it is to be devoted to es tablishing a home for old maids. Truly the world is moving on and it is to be hoped the day is not far distant when old bachelors will so fully see the errors of their ways that an unmarried man over thirty, unless he be a widower, will be as scarce in the United State as alligators are in Maine. WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET. The Tobacco Journal's Review fop the Week Ending March 80tb. Though not so large as the week be fore, the receipts on the Winston leaf market for the week were very good as to quality. Tht-re was no improve ment in quality. Wrappers are getting scarcer and scarcer, and it is the opinion of many buyers that nearly all have already been marketed. It is argued that the demand for them has been unusually active all the season, aad high prices lias induced the planters to bring them in as puickly as possible. Good fillers were in good request, and brought from 5 to 12 cents, while the commoner ones were slow and sold for from 2 to 4 cents. Our manufacturers are not doing a rushing business, but they are making fair shipments for the season and the times. They are preparing for full work this summer, aud a number of factories are already underway. The sale of revenue stampe for this week were as follows: Monday $ 3.15!) 93 Tuesday 2,824 59 Wednesday 1,604 70 Thursday 1,732 80 Friday 3,780 01 Saturday No sales Total S 13,162 OS SALES OF LEAF TOBACCO.

The Los Angeles Record, the daily paper which Mr. Burbank is editing for the present, had 500 circulation at the end of the second weeK. it is ex pected that as new subscribers are coming in at the rate of from 600 to 800 a month there will be nearly 2,000 subscribers before the Record is three months old. The Daper costs 8100 a day, althought it is only four columns larger than inis sentinel. At gives employment to thirty -flva people in cluding carriers, and it is regarded by the press of California as one of the brightest papers in the State. Los Angeles had a population of 50,000 In 1890, but in five years it has gained nearly 25,000 people. From 40 to 50 houses are built every week, and its business blocks and residences would do credit to almost any city in the United States. A Blow at the Poor Man. From the Raleigh News & Observer. The small farmer who Is compelled to give a mortgage in order to get his fertilizers and supplies upon which to raise a crop is now beginning to feel the effects of the Fusion legislation. The new law in reference to mort gages and deeds Id trust seems to be a direct blow at the poor man. He finds now that he has not only no credit. but that his mortgage will not be taken either for supplies or money; And this law was passed by (he men who have been professing to be the especial friend of the poor, down trodden farmer. May the good Lord deliver us from such friend as that '. That oily and rough ekln cured and the face and hands beautified by Johnson's Oriental Soap; medicated and highly perfumed.

District Attorney Glenn returned from Surry Court last week. He says that the trial of the three Mc Bryde and two Barnhart brothers for the murder of Frank Montgomery was concluded March 2th. The prisoners plead guilty to manslaughter. Two of the McBrydes were sentenced to jail for six months, while the third one was set free. One of the Barn harts goes to the penitentiary for two years, while the other one received the same sentence as thetwoMrBryde brothers. The brothers killed Montgomery (who lived in Virginia ) near the Nort h Carolina and Virginia line, last fall. The evidence showed that the deceas ed was partly responsible for the shooting scrape, during which he lost liii life. A HORRIBLE CRIME. Capt. Glenn says that the grand jury returned a true bill against two colored women for murder. Their crime was a horrible one. They killed a little child last fall hy building a Are and holding it over the blaze. The flames ran in the child's mouth and it was held in this position until death relieved it of its sufferings. The two women claim t hat they did not intend to kill the child, but did it only to reprimand it for disobedience. LYNCHING CASE POSTPONED. The case against the Alleghany lynchers, which was removed to Surry for trial, was again postponed. Many are of the opinion that if the case ever comes to atrial nobody will be convicted. Several members of the lynching party have left North Caro lina. A 15 CENT CHAFF CASE. Several cases were tried at this term of Surry court in which not moie than $1.50 was involved. The smallest one, perhaps, was between two farm ers over 15 cents worth of chaff. One claimed that he had purchased the chaff for that amount, while the owner denied the charge. Two lawyers were engaged in the case and of course came in for fees much larger than the worth of the chaff. It required one day to hear the case. The jury re turned a verdict against the man who claimed to have made the pur chase. THOSE COMMUNION CUPS. A Writer in "Kam's Horn" Favors the "Individual." Mr. D. S. Thomas, writing from Amanda, Ohio, "takes issue" with the individual communion cup. Here is bis communication: Dear Ram's Horn: Since youseem so "dead sot agin" the individual com munion cup, you ought at least to be willing to help us to have a clean gen eral one. To me, and doubtless to many others, it is not bacteria or di sease alone that is dreaded, but the detestable and reeking tilth that goes with some mouths; such for instance as those that are heavily curtained with a moustache loaded with rem nants of food and tobacco, which in many cases are among the first to be poked into the communion cup and withdrawn saturated as a sponge witli the emblem of the shed blood of our Redeemer. The cup is then passed immediately to the pure lips of the most refined lady, who requires strong faith indeed, to believe that she is partaking of a sacred emblem; for are uot tilth and polution among the strongest reminders of sin ? How must a minister feel under such circumstances, who would not think of offering the remnants of a glass of water thus tainted to a lady for whom he had tiie least respect ? If we must use the same cup let such objectionable communicants be excluded altogether until they "prove by their works" that they believe that "cleanliness is next to Godliness." CHARGED WITH ABDUCTION. Wanted to Marry a Girl of 14 Bound Over to Court. Alexander Cox, who claims Virginia as his home, was up before Esquire Bessent March 2th on the charge of abduction. He was bound over to court and in default of a $500 bond was sent to jail. Young Cox, it appears, fell in love with Mary Phillips, who ltve3 near Belo's pond, and wanted to marry her, regardless of the opposition of the old folks. The girl is said to be not over 14. Cox applied to Register of Deeds Miller for a license but his endorsement was not at all satisfacto ry to Mr. Miller, who declined to issue the papers notwithstanding there would have been one dollar in It for him. ! Cox was arresttd at Old Town at 10 o'clock March 29th by Deputy Sheriff Martin, oa a warrant sworn out by the girl's brother. He b id a 1' rn t-h'n! it, iron iu his pocket when captured. - Insulted oa the Streets. Wednesday night about 8 o'clock, a Durham lady, while going home from a neighbor's bouse, which was only a short distance away, was stepped by some negro scamp and very badly frightened. She told the rascal who she .was, thinking he bad probably made some mistake, but he seemed unabashed and turned to get hold of her, as she screamed and ran. She could In no way identify the negro and the police have been unable to get hold of any clue as to his identity. Coming to Dixie.

The "State of Wilkes" is great for "corn liquor happenings." It appears to be the home of many moonshiners and it is "dangerous to bo safe" to the fellow who gives them away to the revenue ot'.icers. Last week's issue of the Wiikesboro Chronicle contains its usual batch vl "moonshine"' stories. Friday night Mar. 22rm a crowd wont to Ansel Prevette's, in the Roaring River section, and called him to tin; door and shot him through the thigh.

While in theRoarii.g River section recently, a revenue officer uotlced a little stream of water running through a newly-plowed field along a furrow He followed this down the bank an I saw that it disappeared in the ground before reaching the branch. Tney a i went to investigating and found tho distillery there in the bank. A good sized room was dug outinthebanx and all the exposed part was covered with brush and leaves, and wouhi never have been found but for the lit tle stream of water. The beer and distillery were destroyed. DESTROYED A GOOD BARS. On Thursday night March 21st, un in Traphill township, somebody s -t fire to the barn belonging to Mr. 11. .. Bauguss and it was totally dost.roye 1 It was a good barn aud contained a lot of feed, oats, etc.. which was destroyed. Dr. J. T. Joines' tine hor.i was in the stable and was so badiv burned that it will doubtless r'ie. N-f, ; contented with this, they destroyed ! the fish pond near the house. The ; amount of damage is hard to estimate, but is a good deal. This is also thought to be the wo: Y of some blockaders. The revenue raiders were in that section that night and cut up two or three stills. The either supposed Mr. Bauguss reported them, or was keeping the officers over night. Mr. Bauguss is a quiet, peace able old gentleman. A BLIND MAN WEDS. A Colored Couple Happily Married 1.7 Esquire Lehman. Henry Webster, aged 31 years, aud Jennie McDonald, 24, of Winston, were united in the bonds of holy wed lock recently at the residence of the officiating magistrate P. T. Leh man. It is a colored couple and Henry is as blind rs a bat but he promised to "love and protect" Jennie just tho same. Mr. Lehman, who tied thj nuptial knot, did uot know until to day that he had married a man with two bad eyes. The fellow who went with Webster after his lienr, informed the Register that lien ry was industreus and could chop as much cord wood as any man with two goods eyes. Henry has to rely upon the state ments of his friends as to the beauty of his bride but he claims to be ;is happy as anybody. Jennie also sas that she is delighted with her choice. Rev r. N.Graniiisoii inTtoublf. Rev. C. N. Grandison, D. D., an able and eloquent colored divine, who is well-known throughout the State, is in trouble, says a telegram from Wilmington, Delaware. Itsiys that as a result of a secret investigation la was found Iguilty of misconduct and expelled from the pastorate of the church. Dr. Gandison was president of Bennett College in Greensboro in 1892. He left there that year and was next heard from in Delaware. His friends in Winston do not believe the charges against hiui. A gentleman informed The Sentinel today that, he had lost his mind, The Giunsboio Record says that the colored minister has had charges of a like nature brought against him before, but he was always acquitted when the real facts became known. Be r V I je Preparatory to Holy Week. The Philharmonic Society which opened the entertainments of the season so brilliantly last December, will offer the public a novel treat in the place of its usual spring concert. Assisted oy the Salem Orchestra and prominent soloist it will render a pro gram of sacred music in the Moravian church Friday, April 5th, at 8 p. m. It is intended to make the evening a religious service preparatory to Holy Week. There will be remarks by Bishop Rondthaler and a short address by Prof. Skilton on the history arid significance of Passion raush;. The musical selections will offer as great a variety as any concert program, though all appropriate to the Lenten season. No admission will be charged. Serious if Not Fatal Accident. A painful if not fatal accident be fell Mr. R. E. Bailey, near Midway, Davidson county, several days no. He was chopping a race witli two friends, named Frank and EJgar Lindsay. He took the ilrst cut or a common-sized tree and finished the cut first. Then he walked up the tree to start on a Dew one. passed by Frank and was in the act of passing, walked too close and Edgar's axe struck his shoulder, sinking to the handle. The attending physician says It is the worst case of cutting that he ever saw. The latest news received says that Bailey is getting along as well as could be expected. but it is feared he will not recover. The Sheriff in Charge. The new law on assignments created a stir In Durham yesterday morning, says the Sun. As a consequence the Sheriff of Durham, about 9 o'clock, if that law be correct, took charge of the store of Tbaxton & Patton, who had assigned under the old law. Some of the creditors were very active and the magistrates were kept busy in issuing papers and these were served upon the Sheriff's deputy who had charge of the store.

A Kansas City paper has interviewed Mr. Wack upon the happy event, aud he told a pretty story. "I had expected." he said, "to make the first announcement of it in New York, where Miss Yaw and myself have many friends. But then well I may as well relate it, I suppose. About six years ago 1 was assigned to The Globe to attend a musicale given at the home of A. B. Stickney, of the Great Western railroad. It was a very swell gathering. "Incidentally I was introduced to Miss Yaw, who was ! on her way from studies In New York City to join her mother, who had lived i in California for manv vears. Miss i xaw's home is at La Crescenta, in the mountains, about 13 miles from Los Angeles. Delightful place ! Oh, yes, I know the entire family quite well. Wtien I met Miss Yaw at the musicale 1 had not heard of her bis fore. Her personality attracted me very much and during the next two years we corresponded regularly. "Miss Yaw was evidently 'taken' with my letters, for siie a?ked me to write for her a series of essays on cer tain subjects, ou art, literature, the love of nature, the beautiful in nature, domestic life, friendship, happiness and certain psychological and philos ophical questions a sort of Emer sonian symposium, it was. I did so, and from tiiese essays and letters our close lriendship grew. "In the tneautime 1 had offered Miss Yaw encouragement and advice regarding her career as a singer. "We have been engaged about one year, but the fact I hud suppose.! i., be known to a few intimate triemis only. The date of the wedding y Probab.y not before two years. You see I do not wisli to intcrSere with Miss Yaw's success and her studies. The public takes a greater interest, in a young artist if she be single. Mi-s Yaw goes to Paris soon and ther-ee to Switzerland, and later to London, where she expects to sing and hear the grand opera season at Conveut Garden." In dge, Mr. Wack appears to be un der twenty eight. His manner and conversation are easy and entertain ing and his disposition, seeining.y bright and sunny, makes friends lor him readily. Miss Yaw is two nt v-throe years old, and was born at Buffalo, X. Y. J It r mother was well-known as a singe;- uf sacred music. Mr. Jones on the New M(irtgas) Law. Nothing has occurred of a public nature in a number of years which ha so stirred up the people as the new mortgage law recently enacted by lie Legislature. The ileeord -ays t h t'. groups of men are to be seen standi!!,.; around on the streets in Green-bar,, discussing its effect. It is the same way in other places as we gather ti'on our exchanges and from persons re siding elsewhere. Anion? the interviews published hv the llecord on the effe-t, of the law is the following from Mr. H. B. Jot.es, of Winston, who said: "The law is playing smash in mv town. Everything is at a standstill so far as borrowing money is cotict ru ed. While we think it means what i! says we hope the courts will give it. a technical meaning. If this is not done au extra session of the Legislature will surely be required, for such a state of affairs as now exists cannot, go ou with out great detriment to the business Interests of the country." A Serious Runaway. A fine bay horse belonging to Mr. A. S. King broke loose from a hitching post on Broad street one evening last week and ran away, with serious re sults. The animal was hitched to a buggy, but fortunately no one was In it at the time. After running down Broad street for some distance the horse turned out into the Reservation nd ran into a gully, breaking his left fore leg lmt below the shoulder. Mr. King, who valued the animal at had it killed. The buggy was pretty badly damaged. $200, also California Athletes Coming Sax Fhanctsco, March 2S.
