Wednesday, May 29th, Grand Con cert, 7:45 p. m. Thursday, May 30t,h, Commence ment, James Heck, Esq., Orator, 9 a. ru. In an interview with the school authorities we find that they have been unusually successful in carrying out their plans for the year. The following points have been gleaned in regard to the exercises : The opening concert will be held on Saturday evening and will be under the direction of Miss Tracy and Miss Scriber. The full Academy chorus will assist. The school Is to be congratulated in having secured Bishop Cheshire to de liver the sermon on bunday morning. He is we l kuown to our people and will give the graduating class an earnest and able discourse on this im portant occasion. The Seniors' Evenings will be the occasion of introducing the largest graduating class to the public that has ever gone from the Institution. They have adopted a new plan by which the o4 graduates may each be heard and jet the exercises be rather shorter than last year. We think from what we can learn that the mat ter of general interest has been studied with special care. An entirely new step has been taken in connection with the exhibit on Tuesday afternoon. The art de partment will have its usual display of drawings, paintings and needlework, so, too, the botany work, commercial and cooking schools will as usual have their places, but in addition to this the Alumna3 will have several depart ments, making the occasion really a loan exhibit. The Academy of early days will be represented by furniture, dishes and various relics. Another section will renew the historical in terests Of "Salem of Old," while still another department will , display paintings, drawings, &c, of the Alumna?, done since they left the school, thus keeping the school and its former pupils in sympathy. A section will also be given to "Europe illustrated.' Wednesday is pre-eminently the day belonging to old pupils. Class re unions are held in the morning, and in the afternoon the general meeting of the Alumnae Society will be held. This will be an unsually interesting meeting for several reasons. First, because the fund which the society has been gathering for some years, will attain $2,500, and the interest will be used to put the first pupil in school. Second the formal presenta tion of the beautiful Vance Memorial, of she class of '94, will take place. The lion. J. u. Buxton win mate the pre sentation address, and Bishop Rond thaler will receive the window in be half of the trustees. Mrs. Z. B. Vance has consented to be present on the oc- asion, and this will add greatly to the general interest. The grand concert will be given, as usual, on Wednesday evening and a small admission fee will be charged, as was the case last year, in order to reduce the number and thus insure better accommodation for the Inter ested persons. Thursday morning, the commence ment proper, is one of the most inoer estrng and impressive occasions of the week. The large class, the iarewell song, the final good-bye, all tend to make it an occasion of mingled joy and sadness. The friends have a rare treat in store In the prospect of hear ing Pennsylvania's gifted son and orator, Mr. James Beck. The Acade my has long desired to secure Mr. Beck and we congratulate the faculty on the success this year. The above sketch will show with what marked success the plans have been carried out and the week prom ises to be one of unusual enjoyment. Reduced rates will be secured on all roads and it is probable that the com pany which will visit our city at that tine will be very large. -- - 2 Heads, 4 Eyes and 8 Liege.

At the las term of .Surry court eight young men of tJc county were report ed to the grand jury for practicing medicine illegally; and the grand jury was instructed by the Solicitor to re turn six bills against each one of them. The Mt. Airy News says : "This was done, and in each case, with possibly one exception, the Solicitor suspended judgment upon payment of costs. Eaoh of the young men was mulcted to the tune of about $30, 824 of which went into the pocket of the Solicitor. Now the question arises, 'could not the practice of medicine have been regulated by the Solicitor sending one bill against the offenders as well as six?' "The law was not enacted to benefit Solicitors, but for the protection of the people of the Slate against quacks and incompetents It is a good law and we are heartily in favor of it, and we are glad that this county was not made an exception to its operations. But we think it should be amended so that Solicitors will not he allowed to operate it in their own interests. If necessary to punish offenders let them be fined and let the fine go to swell the school fund and not to swell the pile in the Docket of a grasping Solicitor." STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Democrats From all Sections Bring Glad Tidings. The State Democratic Executive Committee held a meeting in Raleigh las, week. The News and Observer says that the members of the committee pres ent brought encouraging news from all sections of the State. They repre sent the Democracy as in the highest spirits, earnest, hopeful and confident cf winning at the next election. The meeMug was largely given up to an nformal talk, in the nature of an ex perience meeting. The members told of the changed sentiments in their . respective sections, and all the talks showed that t he Democracy was never m better trim. A letter was Tead from Mr. Walter R. Henry, of Vance, tendering his resignation as a member of the com mittee. His resignation was accepted and Mr. G. S. Bradshaw, of Randolph, elected to succed him. Jas H.

The matter has been discn-sed by our merchants for along while, and some time ago the matter was referred to a committee for action. As a result of their efforts the above plan will be submitted to the business men of the community within th- next week. Messrs J. B. Vaughn. J. M. Rogers, J. J. Norman and H E. Fries have been appointed a committee to wait on our business men and request them to raise the amount necessary to guarantee this new enterprise for Wioston. It is the intention of the promoters of the enterprise to break ground as soon as the stock is subscribed and every effort will be made to have the mill in readiness to handle the new crop of wheat. A large number of our prominent merchants are interested in this movement and The Sentinel feels assured our manufacturers and our citizens generally will push this mat ter to a speedy conclusion. CIGARETTE MACHINE CASE. Postponed on Account of Judge Sim on ton's Absence. At the recent term of the Federal Court at Greensboro the case of the Bonsack Cigarette Machine Co., et. al. vs W. F.

LETTER FROM MRS. Z. B. VANCE. Sbe Appreciates tbe Honor Paid Her Deceased Hnsband. Principal Clewell, of the Academy, is in receipt of the following letter from the widow of the late Senator Vance, which explains itself: I write tonight in answer to yours of the 18th to say that I shall be most happy to accept your kind invitation to attend the Commencement of the Salem Female Academy, the end of may, 10 express inereoy my apprecia tion of the honor your enerable in stitution has paid my husband in life and in death, and to comply with an oft repeated wish of bis that I should visit the interesting old town of Salem and know her people, especially the Moravian school, which he held in such esteem. I was misled by some newspaper paragraphs in supposing the Memorial Window was the work of pupils in your Academy alone,untii your letter told me that many others had contributed. I am sure each added name but magnifies tbe beauty of the deed to me, and from my heart I thank each one who in any manner expressed affection for my dear hus band who loved them to the end.

's weekly review of trade today says: Progress toward better business con tinues, but it is slow and meets many obstacles. : In speculative aspects and in wholesale demand for goods the work shows improvement. Money markets are undisturbed and a little more active. But among the chief obstacles is tbe anxiety of operatives to eecure better wages, even while many manufacturing works are run ning without profit, and others at the risk of loss. Failures for " the first four days of April showed liabilities of $1,188,523, of which $445,840 were of manufactur ing and $742,683 of trading concerns. Failures for the week were 207 in the United States, against 218 last year, and 27 in Canada against 34 last year. The Academy in the Lead. The organization of the Cooking Club, Physical Culture Club, etc.; has increased the numbers receiving reg ular instruction In tbe Salem Acad emy nearly one hundred and fifty. These added to tbe regular pupils will give a grand total of more than five hundred persons who -have received regular, systems tic instruction in. the Academy during the year. This places tbe Old College easily in the lead of any similar grade institution in the south. -AH diseases of the skin cured, and lost complexion restored by John eon's Oriental Soap.

With bright, clear weather the re ceipts on tbe Winston leaft market this week were fall nearly every day. The character of the offerings get worse and worse, and the propor tion of common stock this week waa far larger than at any time before during the present season. Wrappers, like calls from those who unbolt the celestial sphere, were few and far be tween, aud only a small per cent, yet remains in the nands of tbe farmers. Manufacturers who have not already supplied themselves will find trouble in obtaining a stock. Wrappers are bringing the last cent they are worth, and very often some thing more. Good fillers bring good value, but nondescript tobaccos are low. Shipments of manufactured tobacco continue good, and there is a better feeling, wltb the belief that the worst is over and business will stead'ly im prove from this on. So for this month the shipments exceed those of the same perierfi last year. The manufacturing season is open ing well About half of the factories are already running More work will bed me here this year than ever be fore, it is thought. The sale of revenue stamps for this week were as follows: Monday $ 2.449 50 Tuesday 2.593 23 Wednesday -2,489 97 Thursday 2 260 11 Friday 2 254 29 Saturday 2,355 27 Total $14,402 37 WILL STILL FIGHT THE TAX. Mr. Moore tfays that He Will Press His Contest to a Finish. From tbe New York Sun . John G. Moore, who brought the original suit contesting the validity, of the income tax law, says: "I am advised by my counsel that tbe court divides equally on the ques tion of the validity of the income tax so far as the $4,000 exemption is con cerned. There is a strong expression of opinion by Justice Field that the entire law is unconstitutional. This, however, cannot be decided until there is a full bench. The question as to the invalidity of the law on ac count of the $4,000 exemption can be raised by a motion for a rehearing be fore the full bench, or by making a payment under protest, and suing tbe collector to recover the money. This is only a partial victory. I intend to continue the protest againt the law, and, if necessary to do so, I will make my return, pay the tax, and then in stitute suit to recover. I adhere to my original opinion that tbe law is not odious to a great majority of the American people, but is in violation of the Constitution, and I intend to press the contest to a finish." -a B Literary-Social Meeting. Grace Epworth League held its monthly literary socialmeeting Friday night at the home of Mrs. M. E. York, on Belews Creek street. There was a good attendance and tbe event was both successful and pleasing. Tbe paster, Rev. W. M. Curtis, made a pleasing and interesting ad dress on "the Methodist Discipline 50 years ago."

A large number of ladies attend and many are being greatly benefitted by the systematic and careful drill. A night for young men is also under Prof. Clewell's training in the gymnasium,- and we learn that this useful ball is at pres ent being used by more than 300 persons. Result of a Big Fight. About one year ago there was a big fight at Advance, Davie county. Oscar and Spencer Davis, of Davidson coun ty; John Smlthdeal, Oscar Shemwell and two Davis boys, of Davie, and John W.

SENSATION IN ROANOKE. A Negro Family Passed Themselves Off as Whites. , A telegram from Roanoke says: "Some time ago the family of William Halley, purporting to be wealthy Creoles from Louisiana, moved in the most respectable locality of Melrose. There was a son named Joe, who with bis good looks and well filled purse, soon succeeded in getting into the swim. He joined the First Baptist Sunday school, and was mentioned in the church paper as a valuable acqui sition. He became a lion among the girls of tbe congregation, and it was soon reported that he was to wed a young lady of accomplishments and good social position. Then a letter came from Wilson, N. C, to the effect that a negro ramily by the name of Halley had left that place and were understood to be passing as whites. As the result of the investigation the family has quietly departed. The affair has caused quite a sensation." A MOUNT IN TRAGEDY. Two Men Killed and One Fatally In jured at a Dance. Mubphy, N. C, April 11.

Tbe Newbern Journal tells of a death, which occurred at that place, under unusual circumstances, on the night of April 6 about 12 o'clock. Miss Julia Taylor, aged 58, who lived alone and did tailor work, screamed for help about midnight, and Mr. J. C. Green, who lived next door answered and went over. Miss Taylor said a man bad come on her porch and she bad raised the window and asked who it was. He grasped at her, she dropped the window, and he left. Mr. Green told her to come to his house and spend tbe remainder of the night, and she was supi-osed to be preparing to do so, but bearing nothing more of her for some time Mr. Green looked in the window and saw her lying on the floor. Help was summoned, but she soon died. The coroner's jury decided she bad died of fright. Large Sale of Stamps. Postmaster-General Wilson says that the sale of stamps for the last quarter of 1895 amounted to $19,405, 571, which was the largest in tbe his tory of the Government for a like neriod. He considered this a barome ter indicating tbe revival of business.

U.S. COMMISSIONERS. Trouble Among the Brethren of the Republican Faith. Senator Pritchard is in Greensboro looking after the appointment of U. S. Court Commissioners. It seems that Judge Dick Las called for the resignation of all the commissioners in the district. One of the best law yers at the bar says this course of Judge Dick is illegal; that a commis sioner cannot be removed except for cause. Asking for resignations is but a sly way of coercing simple-minded men to get out of the way. The Record says Senator Pritchard does not hesitate to severely criticise Judge Dick for what he regards as partizan conduct, about the commis sioners. The Senator asked .Judge, Dick to appoint some men because they were in every way qualified and good Republicans Judge Dick satd be would not listen to any applica tion made on political grounds. This rather displeased Pritchard. and he is reported to have said: "What do you think Gen Grant would have said if he had been asked to appoint you be cause you were a good Democrat, with a Republican skin ?" Pritchard says he is tired of this non-pariizan Re publican position of Judge Dick, which means playing into the bauds Of the Democrats. Ex Ciingressman Ewart is just as hot, as Pritchard, and Jim Cheek and many lesser lights are in Greensboro doing just as much "cussing" as Pritchard Judge Dick is certainly getting it from his Republican friends. A prominent Republican of Greens boro sa s there is a great tight before Judge Dick about the commissioners, that District Attorney Glenn really does the apppointiug for the Judge and that when there are two Demo crats after the place the fight is fierce; but when there is a Democrat and a Republican, that it is easy, the Democrat is appointed oa non partizan grounds. Truly the Republicans are in hot water, and the Democrats are getting their own. "The Lord will provide." FATAL COMBAT Between Two Prominent Citizens of Covington, Ky. Covington, Ky., April 12.

CARti What the Attorneys Appointing Jt An interesting question days ago touching tho st' Justices of Peace, who might pointed by the Governor to fill tf places of those who, though they had been elected by the recent General Assembly, had yet failed to qualify on the 1st day of April, the day de signed in the creating act for tho be ginning of the term. It seems that some of the additional justices elected by the General Assem bly have not qualified nu the day mentioned. Therefore, at the request of Governor Carr, Attorney General Osborne has banded him tbe following opinion eovei ing the question of the Governors right to remedy failure of those. elected to qualify by appoint ment, of others: "I therefore advise you whenever the appointees of the last Legislature have tailed to qualify by their own ni gleet, it .natters not for how long a time after April 1st, 1895. and still fail to do so, to appoint Justices of the Peace to the offices which are thui rendered vacant. If bi fore your ap pointee should qualify, the appointee of ihe Legislature should take the oath before the Cierk of the Superior Court, niy opinion is the appointee of the Legislat ure would have the hot ter title; if jour appointee should take the oath first, then he would have tbe better title. In case of the delay of the appointee of tho Legis lature to qualify is not due to bin neg lect, then your Excellency should not appoint. Very respectfully, F. 1. Osboksb. Attorney General."
