GONE TO GOLDSBORO.
Under the above heading the
Henderson Gold Leaf has the
following kind words to say of
Goldsboro's new gain in citizen
ship in Mr. George S. Prichard
and family:
"The Gold Leaf very much re
grets to lose Mr. Geo. S. Prich
ard and his family as citizens of
Henderson. They have gone to
Goldsboro to live, Mr, fPrichard
having formed an advantageous
business connection in that place.
"The plant of the Michia To
bacco Company, machinery, stock
etc., has been shipped to Golds
boro, at which point the business
of manufacturing the well known
'brands of smoking tobacco oris
inated by Mr. Prichard will be
carried on, on a much larger
scale, he having formed a big
stock company for that purpose,
Thus we lose not only a good
man but an important industrial
enterprise as well.
"We commend Mr. Prichard
aud his excellent wife to the peo
ple of Goldsboro. They are good
citizens and active church works
ers, and are a valuable acquisi
tion to any community. Mr,
Prichard is an honorable, stright
forward, conscientious gentle
man. Mrs. Prichard is a woman
of splendid character, loved for
her many virtues of mind and
heart. As kind and thoughtful
neighbors, zealous and efficient
workers in their churches, intel-
ligent and useful citizens and
honored and helpful members of
society, their places will not be
easily filled.
"The Gold Leaf unites with a
host of friends in wishing for
Mr. and Mrs. Prichard and their
children the fullest measure of
success and happiness in their
new home."
AN EXAMPLE FOR NORTH CAROLINA
The chairman of the State
Democratic Committee of South
Carolina, in calling his commit
tee together, says:
"Recognizing as we must the
wide differences of opinion as to
tbe details of party politics and
party management, yet fully
alive to the present emergency
upon the Democracy, we cannot
but realize that the party's pur
pose and success can only be at
tained by discipline and organi
zation.
"The representatives of this
State should therefore go to the
national convention with a fixed
determination to meet their
brother Democrats in a spirit of
amity with a view to harmony.
United and in perfect accord,
we ought to be able to continue
in control of the government.
With a determination to produce,
harmony, we can gain much in
the direction of our desires as to
the application of Democratic
principles.
We can gain nothing except
the defeat of the Democratic par
ty by open d eclaration of out de
termination to disorganize if we
cannot have our particular views j
carried out. However we may
differ as to details with our
brother Democrats from other
sections of the Union, we all
know that the Democratic creed i
and a Democratic control of the
government are far better for us
than anything we may expect
from our opponents."
In the Dark Continent
Tbe English are marching
gaily toward another campaign
in the Soudan, quite regardless
of the time they had of it there
before and of the time Iialy has
just been having in the same
neighborhood.
The arrangement for the ad
vance of the Egyptian forces up
the Nile appears to have been
made before the Italian defeat. It
probably is not less needed now
as a, matter of defense, but the
situation has become much more
complicated and the French are
already asking what England's
intentions are.
The immediate military danger
is less than the diplomatic dan
ger. France has been pressing
for an understanding about
Egypt and does not like this re-
assertion of the British policy of
occupation. Lord Salisbury, in
fact, with all his efforts to make
friends, has succeeded in pleas
ing nobody except Italy, which
is the only power that is quite
incapable of rendering effective
assistance. .
The present Egyptiaa move
ment is a small thing, but large
things may easily come out of it.
International jealousies have
been in a manner transferred
from Asia to Africa, and it is not
Africans alone that may make a
campaign In the Dark Continent

POLK'S HARD LUCK-

Loves Bird "Meat" But Missed Two
Baits This Week-V
Greensboro Record.
Polk Miller's friends know that
he is not only a famous shot, but
a lover of bird "meat." While
he of course enjoys the sport of
hunting tbem, he goes at it in a
business, kind of a way, some
thing like the darkey who said,
wnen out ot meat, t"at it was a
"ground hog case."
The other day when Mr. Mil
ler was in Raleigh, CoL Olds
came in the dining room at the
Park Hotel where Mr. Miller
was stopping and while at sup
per, carrying in his hand several
snipe which he had just shot
But let Mr. Miller tell it:
"Why didn't you come sooner?"
I said to Col. Olds; "you know
bow fond I am of snipe or in fact
any kind of bird meat.
"Well," replied Col. Olds, "I
couldn't get back any sooner, for
I have been to the country, but I
tell you what you do: to morrow
morning you order a light break
fast and I'll instruct the waiter
to bring you one of the finest
birds in this lot."
"All right, I said, and you may
be sure I watched for Col. Old's
appearance in the dining room,
for with his family he boards at
the Park. When 1 saw he was
seated at the table I walked in
and was given a seat at the other
end of the room, but facing Col.
Olds. Seated at my table was a
big, fine looking gentleman from
the State of Maine, and by the
way, a friend of Speaker Reed's.
kept my eye on Col. Olds and
a moment he saw me and then
to a waiter I saw him
nod towards me and give the
boy some instructions. My mouth
was watering wnil9 my inend
from Maine was talking glibly on
semething I didn't know what.
Directly I saw the same waiter
emerge from the region of the
kitchen with a platter in his
hand and start towards my end
of the room. You can bet I was
happy! Along glided that negro
with his waiter elevated above
bis head on one hand;nearer and
nearer he came with his eyes set
right on my table and I prepared
for business, but lo! what should
he do but waltz right up to my
Maine friend where he dumped
that snipe, remarking: 'Boss,
har's a bird what Col. Olds sont
yu wid his compliments!' 'Tell
Col. Olds I am under many obli
gations, said that big Maine
Yankee, and with this he made
short work of the bird, while I
turned to the waiter and ordered
scrambled eggs, swallowed them
in a hnrry and went out to cool
off. I was hot in the collar to
be sure, but powerless to do any
thing.
"Now," continued Mr. Miller,
it looked like this was enough
punishment for one week, but to
night just before I went m to
supper a friend here at the Ben-
bow, knowing my fondness for
the feathered tribe, said, 'Polk,
order a light supper; I'm going
to send you in a fine woodcock.'
Before I could administer a word
of caution to him about beiug
sure the waiter found me, he was
was gone. Well, I have just
come out from supper and not a
woodcock did I see. I've got
blood in my eye for somebody
and if this waiter has made, a
mistake, too, and given that bird
to another man, I'll shoot him on
sight."
But while he was talking his
friend came up and said that the
woodcock was a little late in be
ing prepared and therefore it was
not ready when Mr. Miller was
at supper.
"Say," replied Mr. Miller
and a load was lifted from his
mind at once I tell you what you
do keep that bird warm and
when I return from the court
house I'll eat him" and he did,
leaving Greensboro happy and
contented.
It is to be regretted that Mr.
Miller, who lectures in Goldsboro
on the 25th inst., comes in the
off" season for birds here, be
cause Goldsboro is noted for its
fine "Quail on toast."
Spanish Cruisers
Key West. March 16. Since
the reported departure of the
steamer Commodore from Char
leston, the Bermuda from New
York and of other vessels from
Florida points with arms and
ammunition for the Cuban insur
gents, this coast has been close
ly guarded by three Spanish
cruisers. It is reported that
these vessels patrol the coast
from Sand Key Light to Cape
Florida., During the day they
keep well out to sea, ccming in
shore during the night. They
keep within hailing distance of
each other and their search lights
at night make it almost impossi
ble for any vessel to pass with
out being seen. Prominent Cu
bans here claim that they do not
fear being captured by Spanish
cruisers. If tbey can only'evade
the authorities of the United
States, they say they are willing
to give the Spaniards a chance
to capture them.

of his conference with Governor
Bradley, in which he had assured
the executive that he would give
ample protection, and character
ized the Governor's action in

partisan and unbecoming a Gov

RAILROAD EARNINGS.
Bradstreet's report for last
week makes a very gratifying
showing of railroad business.
The ieceipts of 126 companies
last month were larger with a
single exception than in any pre
ceding month for three years.
The total earnings of these com
panies for February. 1896, were
$34,484,000, a gain over February
of last year of nearly 14 per
cent. The Granger roads, the
Pacific and the Southern lines,
led in this increase with from 20
to 22 per cent, larger receipts
than for February of last year.
Railroad receipts are considered
a very good indication of general
business and this showing of
their increased earnings is.there
fore, a cheering sign.

The Republicans to Name the Can
didate for Governor- Is'o '
Fusion on the Elec
toral Ticket
Wilmington Messenger.
Raleigh, March 17. Your cor
respondent to-day iuterviewed
Republican State Chairman Hoi
ton and asked him whether the
Republicans proposed to name
their candidate for Governor or
permit the Populists to name
him, he replied:
Unquestionably, we will
name him. . We dou'c mean to
put a candidate forward and
then back down and surrender.
The friends of Dockery, Russell
and Boyd are not fighting a sham
battle."
The next question asked was:
"Will the Republicans take the
pledge prepared oy Senator But.
ler and adopted at .he State Sil
ver Convention last September,
to vote for only those who de -
clare themselves for free and un
limited silver coinage"?
Holton replied:
"The Republicans will never
stultify themselves by taking
such a pledge and then support
the Republican nominee for
President; for no man mentioned
in connection wii.li the nomina
tion for the Presidency enter
tains Butler's views on the silver
question-
The third question was:
"Will there be Republican and
Populist Fusion?"
The reply was:
"Unless the Pops spurn the pro
positions of the Republican con vention,
. the masses oftheRe
publicans favor State co-operation.
I do not think the rank
and file of the Populists will fol
low Butler in his position to have
only a free silver ticket from top
to bottom. They have too much
involved. Their local success
this yeai, and even their organi
zation will be threatened, for the
free silver party is regarded in
the nation as a fourth party and
thinking Populists will be read-
to condemn tbe action of Bui'er,
their chairman, iu committing
their organization to another
party."
The last question asked was:
"Will there be electoral fus
ion i
The reply was:
"Not by any means Neither Po
pulists nor Republicans want it
except a very few. My views of
this matter are all defined."
JfKEE SILVER OK KUST.
Some citizens of Morgan coun
ty, Ala., who call themselves
Democrats, have very little claim
to be considered.
The speeches made on the res
olutions adopted at their recent
convention make the test of
Democracy devotion to a princi
ple which is not to be found in
any platform of the party and
which none of the great Demo
cratic statesmen ever advocated,
namely, the free and unlimited
coinage of silver without regard
to its parity with gold.
The convention refused to in
dorse the Democratic platform
of 1892. That is not sufficiently
Democratic on the currency
question, and in place of it a
money plank almost identical
with that of the Populists was
adopted.
This convention in Morgan
county, Ala., ' should have sent
fraternal greetings to the mem
bers of the illustrious Democratic
convention in Sumter county,
Tenn., who declared that Andrew
Tackson and Thomas H. Benton
were the originators of thepresM
ent movement for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
The U. S. Treasury gold ze

to its use wil1 derive immediate bene

CAPITAL,
The Enemy. Protection.
CAPITAL has been defined as any-
C. a l . ' I i . e
imiig capauie oi gramying our
desires or ol procuring for us by
means of exchange other objects of
gratification. To a man who has loved
ones dependent upon him, the amount
necessary to procure a policy of life in
surance will furnishtmore gratification
than the same amount spent for any
thing else.
A great many folks are anxious for
the protection of our sea coasts against
the enemies that may never attempt
to land on our shores. There is, how
ever, an enemy which will certainly
enter their homes some day and when
he departs the husband and father will
ba dead.
Protection, protection, protection is
the cry that goes up from all classes:
Make us safe, say the merchants to
their customers; write the deeds so that
we can hold the lauds, say the clients
to the lawyers.
Now, no other investment is as iafe
for your family as a life insurance
policy in a reliable, old-line life insur
ance company. One of the strongest
and best is the Home Life Insurance
Company of New York. If you are in
terested in the great subject of life in
surance, it will afford me pleasure to
give information concerning the excel
lent policies of the Home Life: these
policies are the "acme of perfection."

Madam: We take pleasure
in giving our testimony to the
efficacy of your Rheumatic
Remedy and Blood Purifier.
We have used it with excellent
results, esp? ially with in a

After taking three bottles of
your Remedy the patient is able
to go around the house as usual,
the swelling and weight in her
limbs has subsided, and she is
very much better in every way.
We consider your Remedy a
valuable medical agent, and
recommend it highly to all per
sons suffering from Rheumat
ism or any Blood disease.
We are, dear madam,
