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. --

PRACTICING ILLEGALLY.
Solicitor Mott Criticised by the Mt,
Airy News.
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,

Judge Starbuclt Will Hear It.
The suit of Elias Carr (Governor) as

what he would say in his answer. -He
was toki that he bad better publish a
card explaining the matter, as it was
said that people were really asking
what he had done to deserve to be
sued by the Governor. Capt. Coke
said laughingly that some don't eeem
to understand that the attempt was
being made td restrain him from doing
his duty in publishing the mortgage

LARGE FLOURING MILLS.
WINSTON CAN GET THIS ENTER
PRISE IF SHE WANTS IT.
A Cn rase to be Made Nf xt Week for
theOrifanliatlnnof a$2S,000 Com
pany Wachovia Milling Co.
A movement Is now on foot to or
ganize a company to be known as the
i Wachovia Milling Company.
( The site selected for the mill is an
admirable one, east of Vaughn & Co. 'a
I wholesale house, cn the Southern
Railroad. All of the grain, etc., will
be delivered directly to and from the
. cars, while the fuel will be unloaded
immediately in front of. the boilers.
A satisfactory lease has been made to
! F. & n Fries for a number of years,
(and this lease, with their milling
ou-lness, will be transferred to the
new companv.
The capital stock of the companv is
fixed at $25,000 and the shares are $100
each, payable in monthly payments of
25 per cent
The mil' will havp a capacity o 75
barrels of fluur, and will have also
t hree runs of stotie on meal and feed.
There will also be erected in the mill
eiyht, large bins with a storage capac
ity of 15.000 bushels.
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.

Principal Clewell, of the Academy,

from the widow of the late Senator

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

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. I

Badness Oatloolf Improving. '
New York, April 13. R. G- Dun
& Co. '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.

W INSl ON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journal's Review for tbe
"Week Ending April 13ib.
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

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."

FIRED IN THE WINDOW.
A COWARDLY ACC PERPETRAT
ED LAST WEEK.
Mr. Hush MoAdden Makes a Narrow
Escape One Lady Struck
With m Piece of Glass.
At the residence of Mr. T. J. Fergu
son, on Liberty street, Salem, about
9:30 p. m. Apr. 11th, some one went to
the parlor window (the blinds being
open) and placing a pistol against the
glass, sent a ball through the same.
Three of Mr. Ferguson's daughters
and Mr. Hugh McCadden were in the
parlor and the ball jusi missed strik
ing the latter, who was standing near
the window. Fortunately no one was

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."

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."

GOV. 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."
A DEATH DEALING MAIDEN.
A Texas Girl WhoKIIalr Conveys an
Electric Shock. Wheu Handled.
Chicago Times-Herald.
Th Bulhtlo Gap country in Texas
claims a death dealing mniden whose
fatal qualities lie in her hair.
The young woman is 21 years of
age and Bays it is only leceiitlv th.-tt
her singular power became riianifust.
Ilerhair is of the course jet black
variety and so exceedingly long and
thick that when nlie PufT.rs it to
hang down it completely etiv-IopH
her person, and the curlmtr emia
sweep the floor as she; walks, lb
crisps and crackles and sparkle
w hen l-he combs ir and at ijigli t u.i ve
out a strange, weird iitrht. In ju int
of fact, she possesses a genuine
article: of 'vliining hair."
So strong is the current of electrici
ty playing constantly through her
hair t hat one strand of it will convey
a shock to the person who in so bold
as to touch it. She discovered her
singular power one iiiht recently
when she stooped down to toridlt1 n,
let kitten, lb-r loose hair fell all
about the cat witn a crackling noise,
killing the poor creatine iimttiiitly.
Since then oulv a few people have
had the hardihood to experiment
with the matter, but all who have
touched her hair are convinced ot it
electric power. A .young physician
in the neighborhood, who wont to
test theease. in theiuteresr, of science,
almost died of the repeated shocks
he received thereby.
The,ourig woman herself is great
ly nmioel at t Iih seiii-ation she in
creating aud threatens to cut oil her
hair it people don't i-top oot tiering
her a hour, it, bit her lather and
mother look upon it as a miracle
and are atraiti for u r to "taicper
wit hit," as t hey say, lest nume in
jury will belsll her.
