THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION
A
Movement on Foot For a ProMM
lion Election,
TO BE HELD ON MONDAY JOSE 13.
Several Addresses Made at the First
Sleeting A Committee Appointed
to Issue and Send Ont an Address
Tbroughont Forsyth Explaining
the Object of a Convention to he
Held in Winston on March lS:u.
The petition signed by the white
and colored ministers of Winston, re
questing the friends of temperance
and the opponents of the liquor traf
fic to meet in the court-house at four
o'clock on the 8th instant tu consid
er the propriety of calling a mass
meeting of the citizens of Forsyth to
take steps looking to the suppression
of the sale of liquors in the county,
was what might be termed a success.
The attendance was fairly large,
the white and colored population be
ing represented.
The meeting was called to order and
organized by the election of J. M.
Rogers Chairman and it. K. Carmi
chad Secretary.
Rev. S. B. Turrentine explained the
object of the meeting by stating that
it was called for the purpose of
taking some steps looking to the sup
pression of the liquor traffic in
Forsyth. Whether a mass-meeting
should be held or petitions sent out
through the county, was a matter for
the preliminary meeting ito decide
upon.
Rev. P. J. Carraway offered a fer
vent prayer in behalf of the meeting
and the cause for which it was being
held
Mr. E. E. Gray responded 'to an in
vitation to explain the Prohibition
election law. lie Jsaid that such an
election could be held every two years,
and that this was the year for that
election if it was so desired. Said
election must be held on the second
Monday in June and must be called by
the county commissioners at their
meeting in May. In order to get the
election called the friends of the
movement must secure the names of
one-fourth of the registered voters in
the county or city in which it is to be
held, or the question voted upon.
Presiding Elder Carraway said that
he was of the opinion that there was
a growing sentiment all over his dis
trict against the liquor traffic. He
added that he didn't know of any liq
uors sold in the county except in and
around Winston. He expressed him
self as believing that it would be the
wisest plan to hold- the election only
in Winston township. "We will ac
complish great things if we are suc
cessful in doing that," said he. "How
ever, if the other townships desire to
join in wit h us, why of course we will
be glad to welcome them. The Irst
news I heard of this movement came
from colored people. 1 want to say it
would be an everlasting disgrace on
the whites of Winston if a majority of
the colored people vote against the
whiskey traffic and-the whites do not.
Salem has no bar-rooms. God bless
old Salem. May she ever keep those
colors flying atthe mast head."
Rev. J. R. Moose was in favor of
taking in the townships adjoining
Winston, if no more. He wanted to
get the traffic as far from town as pos
sible. Capt. R. W. Belc said that if the
vote was taken on Winston township
alone Salem would only tie her vote
as she did not care to interfere with
Winston's business. If the question
is made a county matter Salem will
roll up a handsome majority in favor
of "no whiskey." Winston had prohi
bition once, but it was only in name.
Kev. L. Li. Albright was in favor ot
getting the traffic clear out of the
county. He said he believed in whip
ping the devil good when lie had a
fight with him. The speaker made a
strong and earnest talk on the subject
He told of two signs put un just out
side the incorporate limits of a Pro
hibition town in Kentucky. One read:
"The last drink going in," and the
other, "the first drink coining out."
Elijah Mayo said lie thought the
colored people were "ripe" for the
question and would vote intelligently
against the liquor trrffic. He said
that lie tiiougnt it would prove more
successtui all around to have a county
election.
Prof. S. G. Atkins made a strong
talk and said he was ready to go into
the conflict on any terms, lie was in
favor of a county 'election provided
the citizens of all the townships would
agree to unite with Winston in mak
ing: a strong fight.
It was moved and carried that the
chairman appoint a committee-of five
to issue and send out an address
I throughout the county, explaining the
1 nhipcr. nf a cnnvcnt.inn t.n lw litlrl in
Winston at two o'clock p. m. on Sat
urday, March 18th.
After the meeting adjourned Chair
man Rogers appointed the following
named gentlemen to constitute the
committee: Eugene E. Gray, Dr. C,
J. Watkins, Maj. T. J. Brown, Col. J.
W. Alspaugh -and' Prof. S. G. Atkins.
Mr. Rogers is an ex-offlcio -member of
the committee.
That Old Court House.
Sheriff McArthur had a large and
nanasome new sare put ic his office in
the court house last week. It was
with difficulty that the men rolled it
through the hallway. The old floor
broke through several times; in - fact
it was an up-niu Dusiness until some
large timbers were secured to roll the
safe on. The floor, like the buildiDg.
"has rather a dilapidated appearance.
It is ror the people or n orsytu to say
how long the old structure shall
stand. .

LATEST KOM HAWAII.
People Discussing the Question of An
nexation to the United States.
Sax Francisco, Cal., March 7. The
schooner Witzman arrived yesterday
from Honolulu with news up to Feb
ruary 13th. Opinions there as to the
course that will be taken by the Unit
ed States are as diverse as the many
actors in Hawaiian politics. As a
general proposition, however, Amer
ican and German interests in Hawaii
strongly urge upon the government at
Washington the necessity of project
ing the business interests at least of
the islands by annexing them. Native
Hawaiians are divided on the propo
sition, one side being an innate love
for royalty, affection for Princess
Kaiulani, now being educated in Eng
land, and pride in native institutions;
on the other side a desire for greater
prosperity and greater enfrancisement
which would follow the inauguration
of republican rule as cue of the Amer
ican States.
English sentiment against annexa
tion is not so strong as that which
prevails against the idea of a Hawaiian
republic, and it has even been stated
on good authority that at no time
within the past five years would Great
Britain have seriously protested
against the island forming a part of
the United States. If, however, the
United States should now, for any
reason or in any contingency, decide
to advise that a republic form of gov
ernment with a native ruler succeed
the dethroned monarchy, the opinion
is freely expressed that millions of
capital 'would be drawn at once from
her and native business interests,
such as they are, would be forced to
struggle against, the steadily growing
competion of the Chinese and Japa
nese throughout Hawaii.
LETTER. FROM HENDERSON.
An Accident to a Freight Train the
Harris-Young AVill Cas-?.
Correspondence of the Sentinel.
Yesterday morning a car on the R.
& I)., in consequence of being too
heavily loaded with coal, became de
railed and rolled over the embank
ment. This jerked the second-class
coach from the track, shaking up the
occupants, but otherwise doing no
damage. The agent, Mr. A. Buford,
went promptly to the scene of the de
railment, which was about three miles
from Henderson.. A brief delay, a
damaged freight car and "spilt" coal
were the only consequences of the ac
cident. All the evidence in the all-absorbing
will case of Harris versus Young hav
ing been heard it was given to the
jury last night. The closing speeches?
which bristled with pertinent and
impertinent personalities, were fin
ished at midnight and the most
breathless interest hangs on the case.
It is safe to say, whatever the verdict
may be, an appeal will certainly he
taken.
The action of the Winston-Sa
lem Chamber of Commerce in in
dorsing Mr. W. IX Townes. of Dan
ville, tor Consul general to ltio Janei
ro, rather throws cold water on the
aspirations of one of Henderson's most
worthy and gifted sons, the Hon. W.
11. Henrv; but (irover Cleveland has
been so little influenced up to this
time by the good advice the whole
country has united to give him, that
there is little danger ot Mr. llen-y s
interests being antagonized by Win
ston's action for Mr. Townes.
The agitation of Mr. Watson's to
bacco bill has in no way checked the
abundant influx of the weed into our
market. The grades are hardly infe
rior to those of a few weeks ago, and
the prices must be satisfactory from
the easy, contented expression the
home-going farmers wear. By the
way, that bill must have been a good
thing from the vehement lobbying
which it awakened among the buyers
and warehouse men. T. P. B.

No Use for the L. & D.
News comes from Lynchburg, Va.;
to the effect that the N. & W. has not
paii the interest on the bonds of
the Lynchburg & Durham due March
1st. It is understood that the Nor
folk & Western management has con
cluded that, having acquired the
Roanoke & Southern, the Lynchburg
& Durham would prove unprofitable
and useless. It will probably return
to the possession of the construction
company. Large amounts of bonds
are held in Lynchburg. ,
DESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS
Tiie Walflenses an Intelligent, PiOHs,
Industrious People.
WESTERN N. C- THE PLACE FOR THEM
A I(arge Number of Moravians or Aus
trian Weldenses, Settled, in This
State in 1750 They Leave Their
Present Home to Escape Persecu
tion, and Find Civil and Religious
Liberty.
Speaking of the Waldenscs, a colony
of whom, it is said, are thinkine of
locating in North Carolina, the Wil
mington Messenger says:
There is no doubt of the desirable
ness of the settlement of those people
in iNorth Carolina. Our mountain
country would offer them homes
exactly adapted to their necessities
and desires, for it is rugged, pictures
que, even sublime in scenery like their
native country. They could nursue
their old callings and could worshin
God in a land of freedom and equality
and pursue their work without imper
tinent interference. They are Presby
terians and their confession of faith
is purely Calvanistic. The Philadel
phia Record says: ,
'Xheyhavea theolotrical seminary
at Florence, hospitals and colleges at
other places, excellent schools. In
immigrating to North Carolina thev
would come to a State the name .of
which is probably traditional amonsx
them, since about the year 1750 a
large nnmner of Moravians, or Aus
trian Wnldenses as they were called.
(the seed of whose organization was
ttie blood of IIuss) settled in that
State."
Not more than half of this State is
under cultivation, if so much. It has
aoundant lands for settlers of the
right kind. It has peculiar attrac
tractions as a trip from Norfolk. Va.,
via Lii.abeth City and through the
State to the extreme Western border
would reveal. There are certain class
es of immigrants who have come and
settled in the North who would not
be desirable additions to the popula
tion of the State. It is very fortun
ate for North Carolina that have not
sought homes within her borders.
There is now quite a sufficiency of
the lawless element among us with
out an influx from Europe and e!se-
wnere. liut tne waldenscs are a peo
ple of another type. The persecutions
of their forbears, and the martyrdoms
or tneir Heroic manhood and women
hood have come to them as sacred tra
ditions. They know they are the des
cendants of those who suffered death
for the Protestant faith, and they
will be true to freedom, a benison for
the downtrodden, and with them soul
liberty will be as precious as civil
liberty is to those whose ancestors
won it on the battle-uelds of England
when struggling with tyranny. These
people in the ages have shown them
selves of heroic mould, the very stuff
out of which noble manhood is made.
They will, make good, faithful, useful
citizens. A Fayetteville correspond
ent suggests that Governor Carr name
a committee of progressive citizens of
this State to confer with the delega
tion when they arrive in the United
States. He thinks there should be
"such concert of action by our people
as will induce these good people to
come and settle among us."
A BEAR STORY.
Was it Mountain Dew, or "Regular"
Old Red Whiskey?
From the McDowell (Va.) Record.
Trigg Tabor, who was in Tazewell
this week, relates a remarkable bear
story which he heard while there,, as
occurring in a sparsely settled portion
of Russell county. I t is to the effect
that a mountaineer living in that sec
tion of Russell, named Jenkins, while
returning home one day early in Feb
ruary from a hunt, met a large black
bear walking erect with a child under
its lett arm which he recognized as
his little rive-year-old son, while Bru
in carried a large club in the other
paw. He quickly killed the bear with
ins rule, and recovering the child
nearer dead than alive, started home
with him. En mute he came across
his wife lying unconscious on. the
ground wiiii uu ugly wound on the
right temple. After resuscitating her
she said that the bear had come into
the house, taken the child and de
parted. She followed him, and in en
deavoring to rescue the child, the bear
dealt her a severe blow with the club,
which rendered her insensible. Trigg
says this was related to him in sober
earnest, and his informant was a man
of unquestionable veracity.

ONE HUNDRED TEARS AGO.
President Washington's Inauguration
and Inaugural Address.
Saturday Grover Cleveland was in
ducted into office of President
of the United States. Exactly
one hundred years previous the same
ceremony was performed, the grand
Southerner, George Washington, be
ing the man who was entering upon
the responsible position.
At that time F. X. Martin was pub
lishing the North Carolina Gazette in
Newbern. Those being days of slow
communication, it was not until its
issue of March 23rd. nineteen days af
tcrwads that the Gazette furnished
its readers an account of the inaugu
ration including Washington's inau
gural address, which is remarkable for
its brevity.
Knowing that a Newbern newspa
per extract of those early times on
such a subject will be of interest we
copy the article from one of the origi
nal papers belonging to a Newbern
historian. Col. J. D. Whitford:
Senate of the United States,
Monday, March 4.
A number cf the members of the
Senate being convened, in pursuance
of notice sent them from the Presi
dent of the United States in the Sen
ate Chamber, the speaker and mem
bers, of the late House of Representa
tives, the Secretary of War. the At
torney General, the "Judges of the Su
preme Court and other officers of the
government; the loreign Ministers,
and a number ot private citizens, la
dies and gentlemen wtre also present
on the occasion.
At 12 o'clock precisely the President
entered the Hall. Mr. Langdon. pres
ident, pro-tempore, then rose and
said: Sir, one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of the United States is
now present, and ready to 'administer
to you the oath required by the Con
stitution to be taken by the President
of the United States.
The President on this, addressed
his "Fellow Citizens" in a short but
comprehsnsive speech as follows:
Fellow Citizens: I am again called
upon by the voice of my country to ex
ecute the functions of its chief magis
trate. When the occasion proper for
it shall arrive, I shall endeavor to ex
press the high sense I entertain of
this distinguished honor, and of the
confidence which he has reposed in
me by the peoplecof United America.
Previous rto the execution of any
official act ofothe President, the con
stitution requires an oath of office.
This oath 1 am now about to take and
in your presence that if it shall be
found during my administration of
the government, 1 have in any in
stance violated willingly or knowing
ly, the injunction thereof, I may (be
sides incurring constitutional punish
ment), be subject to the upbraidings
of all, who are now witnesses of the
present solemn ceremony.
Judge Cushing then read the oath,
which the President repeated af
ter him, sentince by sentence; as fol
lows: I, George Washington, do solemnly
swear, that I will faithfully execute
the office of President of the United
States, and will to the best of my
ability, preserve, protect and defend
the constitution of the United States.
The President then retired, and was
followed by three cheers of the people
THE REVENUE OFFICE.
Some Things We Would Gain by Get
ting it Here.
Cirrsrondence of the Sentinel.
TnE Sentixel is right '
The paper has done more to advance
the material prosperity of Winston,
in the short period of its new man
agement, than it seemed possible for
a newspaper to do.
On all lines of developement and
progress The Sentinel leads, and
has led, so that it has come to be re
garded as a safe never-failing guide
to the advancement and prosperity of
our beloved Twin-City. The advoca
cy of the establishment of the United
States Internal Revenne oftice here,
and the startling facts and figures
given by that progressive paper, has
aroused the dormant energies of our
people and created a sentiment strong
and growing in favor of the location
of the office here. When it is consid
ered that the office here means twenty
thousand dollars each and every year
to Winston-Salem, the large patron
age in the appointment of sub-officials,
the increase of population, the unan
swerable argument in Livor of a
Federal building, and the very much
improved prospect of securing it, let
us be up and doing. Let the tobacco
manufacturers, the Board of Trade,
the Chamber of Commerce, and all
business men and organizations, act.
and act promptly. Success Hepends
upon organized effort; without it we
will lose this important office, and
the Twin-City will be the great suffer
er thereby. Business Man. .

was for the purpose of discussing the
question of trying to secure the head
office of the internal revenue for this
city.
W. W. Wood stated that he was in
favor of the manufacturers endorsing

the privilege of moving the office
where he pleiised, just so it was in the
district. Mr. Wood read the following
petition which explains itself:
Whereas, It is vcy important to
the business interests of Winston, N.

therefore earnestly request that the
President or' the United States will
appoint to this office, Thomas II. Sut
ton, of Winston, N. C., whom we cor
dially endorse for that appointment,
as a capable business man, and one
whom we are satistied will faithfully
and satisfactorily discharge the du
ties of the ollice with credit to him

Government.
Resolved, 2nd, That the President
of the Manufacturer's Iioard of Trade

X. C.
The above resolutions were unani

We the undersigned members of the
Board of Trade of Wirston-Saleru, N.
C, do hereby : respectfully recommend

No More Use for Iocal Business
Houses in Winston.
We have reached a new era in which
towns will exist without business of
any kind, if we are to believe a man
who is trying to form an association
by which the members get all they
consume, even to insurance, legal ad
vice, newspapers, medical treatment,
drugs, groceries, clothing, etc., etc., at
wholesale prices from Northern cities,
thus doing away with the necessity of
stores, insurance agents,' lawyers, doc
tors or any other class of business.
Besides enabling us to buy at whole
sale, it will be very convenient; for
instance, if I want a collar all I have
to do is to have a diagram made of
my neck and send it on to the mana
ger and he sends me a collar by return
mail. The collar would cost me ten
cents in the store, but I get it from
the association at five and have the
pleasure of using the remainder buy
ing Columbus postage stamps, not to
mention the satisfaction it would af
ford in being able to keep the mer
chant out of his profit. If you want
the services of a tailor, all you have to
do is to let the association manager
know it and lie has your suit cut and
made on short notice. If it doesn't
fit, you are relieved of a certain
amount of profanity you would other
wise expend on the home tailor, and
by enduring the delay in sending it
baeir tor alterations you learn tne
great virtue of patience
If you want The Twin-City Daily
Sentinel, instead of contracting
with the editor, you send your name
to the manager of the association; he
furnishes it. and if the carrier doesn't
deliver it promptry, you have noedi-
t- r to - cuss about it. Anu so on
throughout the whole catalogue.
Oh, it's a good thing to be able to
send your stomach or your tongue
North for examination and .have it
treated at wholesale. And imagine a
lawyer's speech in your behalf, and at
half price, through a telephone from
New York. Let's all join and be
happy. Yours &c.,
Mart Flifpin.

the rule was iullcxible, Cleveland re
sponded t hat it would be so substan

and extraordinary circumstances
which might cause some departures
from if. l,;:t he could not call to mind
many po--ibiiit ies to just ify a change
from 1 ic policy decided upon.
Mr. Springer asked if the rule was
