ED SCHOOL Henderson is determined to put herself in line with the progressive towns of the State on the school ques tion. And such resolution comes none too soon, for it can not be de nied that we have been behind on the question of educating the rising gener al inn hfrp hns hppn nppn fit a general awakening among our people on this subject and having arrived at a proper appreciation of the situation they will improve it. An advanced step in this direction was the unanimous vote in favor of the graded schools Monday. When peo ple submit to taxation, however small it may be, for purposes of this kind it means something. There was no opposition and for this reason very little interest was manifested in the election. Some people who were in favor of the school did not trouble themselves about going to the polls which fact accounts for the small vote. Out of a total of 534 qualified electors 35 1 votes were cast in favor of the school not one being recorded against it. The first step towards this long cherished and much needed institution, a first-class system of graded schools for Henderson, has been taken and now the matter should be speedily pushed to a happy climax, the selec tion of the site, the erection of suitable buildings, and the institution started off in thorough working order. Let there be no relaxation until this is done. It has remained for the city of Greensboro to lay down the monstrous proposition that no matter what an evangelist may say in public about a man's wife or mother he should not be called to account. The gentlemen who appended their signatures to that sentiment will blush for shame when reason resumes her throne. States ville Landmark. That Greensboro affair was a very unfortunate one, but we have no doubt it will be of benefit to at least one man. A preacher has no right to take advantage of his position and say things from the pulpit that he is too cowardly to say in the open street. His business is to attack sin not in dividuals. No man ever made friends for himself or the cause he represents by heaping personal abuse upon people. He may assail methods and measures but the line should be drawn when it comes to the private character of men and women. It will be good news to people who know him as well as to the frater nity of Odd Fellows throughout the country, to learn that the condition of Mr. Charles M. Busbee, who has been so critically ill at his home in Raleigh, is rapidly improving. The following bulletin was published in yesterday's Raleigh papers, signed by the three attending physicians : Grand Sire Busbee's mental and physical improvement is rapid and progressive. He was able to sit up twice to-day, and took some solid food. The South is destined to be the future iron producing centre. The fact that Alabama, during the last census year, produced more iron than Pennsylvania will not only be news, but it will set people to thinking. There has been no falling off in Penn sylvania's productions; but the develop ment of the resources of Alabama seem to have been something extraor dinary. Perhaps no paper in the State has the opportunity of exercising a greater power for good or evil than the Pro gressive Farmer. The responsibility resting upon the editor of that paper is a very grave one. and we trust he will use his high office to the good of his large constituency and the Farmers Alliance as an organization. VANC E COUN TYDAY AT THE SOUTIIEItV EXPOSITION. We have received the following let ter from Capt. John T. Patrick, Sec retary of the Southern Inter-States Ex position, which explains itself. The idea of a special "Vance county day" is a good one, and the suggestion that all the citizens visiting the Exposition on that day wear badges with the name of the county printed thereon, should be adopted. With the county aDoronriation of Soo, together with the private exhibits that will be made, , a a a a full and creditable display of our the philosophy of making things suc woods, timbers, minerals, agricultural j ceed Winston Tobacco Journal. products, fruits, manufactured articles of all kinds, &c, ought to be maae. Some competent person should. li&toj aitKiFT ployed to collect thisexhibit and the ' wotft Should not be deferred too long. I A treat deal is to be done if it is to txthoroush and complete. As to the reference Capt. Patrick makes about Mfno shall take charge of the work of betting up Vance county's exhibit, is a matter for the County Com missioners to pass upon we suppose, and while wc will cheerfully lend our aid in any way we can, without mean ing to decline a position which has not been tendered us, we will merely say the services of a more competent man are required and such of course will be appointed. The following is the full text of the letter referred to: Raleigh, N. C, July 14, '91. T. R. Manning, Esq., Henderson, Dear Sir: We desire to name October 3rd as "Vance County Day," and we hope that you will be able to take special charge of this feature of the Exposition, so that your county may be fully represented and shown to the very best advantage. On that date your people ought to arrange so that each one who attends from your county should wear badges with the ! your county . thereon 1 Ills ivuuiu aiiuw iin-iuuov, uii iiiv. on people, and I think would be ot spe cial advantage to you. Some promi nent gentleman will be named who will deliver the address of welcome, and we would like for you to name some one from your town or county to respond to the welcome address. Sev eral towns in the State have asked that special days be given them, and we thought it would be to the interest of your people to have a day named for your county. Will you please take this matter in hand and call the at tention of your people to it? If you cannot find time to give it the atten tion necessary, please name some party, after conferring with your people, who will take the proper interest, so as to make a success that will reflect credit upon your county. Yours truly, Jno. T. Patrick, Secretary. In this connection we publish the following extract from an open letter addressed "To the people of the South," by General Manager F. B. Chilton: If a merchant has goods to sell he docs not expect a customer to buy until he sees the quality and price. If the South has lands, water powers, minerals and timber to sell they can not be sold unless they are advertised, and unless what they are capable of producing and the quality is shown to those who desire to purchase. The cheapest means of advertising is to have a dozen columns of one issue of your county papers devoted to the advantages that your county can offer to land buyers ; and have one to ten thousand printed, and send to us for distribution among the large num ber of visitors who will attend the Per manent Display, which is continuously open to the public, and the Exposition proper, to be held during October and November. The visitors will expect to see what the South has to offer home-seekers and capitalists. Do not wait until October. Take this work up at once, for .the Perma nent Display is now being arranged in the city of Raleigh. The Permanent Display will be kept open all the year round so that what is sent in at once will be doing your section great good, and you can add to it from time to time as you make collections. The opportunity presented to the people of each county in the South to advertise its resources, free of cost, at the Southern Inter-State Permanent Display and Exposition is an excep tional one, and no wide awake section can afford to be left out. It will cost but very little to collect the articles for exhibition, and all southern rail roads are transporting the exhibits free. All that is necessary is to direct to Southern Exposition, Raleigh, N, C. GOLDSBORO GETS THE ORPHANS' HOME. Following the worthy example of the Masons, the Odd Fellows of the State some time ago decided to estab lish an orphans' home which shall be under their immediate control and patronage. In view of this they have been looking around for a suitable location. Godsboro has been chosen as the fol lowing irom the Wilmington Star of Sunday shows. It says : The committee of Odd fellows, appointed by the Grand Lodge of the State of North Carolina to select a site for the location of the Orpan3ge to be established under the auspices of the Order, decided yesterday that the inducements offered by the citizens of Goldsboro were greater than those from other competitive points, and, therefore, that place was chosen for the location of this great charity. The land offered by the citizens of Golds boro comprises twenty acres, and is valued at $5,000. The gift is supple mented by a large donation in money, but the exact amount was not stated. You caa find the best Lime at Hardee's store, opposite R. & G. Depot. The fact that Col. Polk again puts Mr. Ramsey in editorial control of his paper, would seem to indicate that the former course of that gentleman was fully endorsed. Capt. Lockhart, president of the State Tobacco Association, deserves credit for the able manner in which he has worked up an interest in the approaching meeting at Morehead. He has exerted every effort to luve a full meeting, and the prospect is very , promising, trom an appearances i nresent. But Capt. Lockhart is a . B- whole team by himself, and understands Life is not altogether void to at jgngtoaccntry editor if he can get . , he wants . . h wants. Brother Peatross. of the Madison News, calls on his subscribers to pay up either in cordwood or postage stamps, but draws the line at stamped envelops. He says : We do not like stamped envelopes. Nothing braces an editor up as much as licking the underside of a half dozen postage stamps every day before dinner. The farmers own less than 2 2 per cent, of the property of the United States, but they pay 90 cents of every dollar of taxes paid into the treasury. Twenty-six billions, or two-thirds of the property in the United States does not pay a cent. Men should be sent to the Legislature who would make a law requiring every tax assessor in the State to have a State seal and put it in the name of the assessor and date: and if any man has a paper and does not bring it to the assessor and pay tax on it, make it non- collectable bv law. L. L. Polk at Oxford. If we owned a daily paper and the managing editor permitted such silly stuff as the Associated Press frequently sends out, to go into its columns, we would discharge him without cere mony. Who in the d deuce cares whether President Harrison takes a bath or not? All decent people are supposed to wash themselves occasion ally, and it is a matter of no more importance that the President should do so than any one else. But such alleged "news" will continue to find its way out from idiotic and sensational penny-a-liners as long as newspapers publish it. Let the line be drawn be tween the legitimate and the illegiti mate. Washington, July 11. Ralph E. Langston, a son of ex-Congressman Langston, of Virginia, who is charged with seducing a New York girl, was arrested here this morning on a requisi tion from Governor Hill, based on an indictment found against Langston in New York city, charging him with inveigling and enticing an unmarried female of previous chaste character into a house of assignation on the 15th of January, 1889. The charges are brought by Miss Helen Graff, a white girl, eighteen years of age. Langston was produced before Chief Justice Bingham, and acknowledging that he was the party named and being willing to meet the charge, he was turned over to the New York officers and left this aiternoon. The negro ought to be turned loose. If the girl had no more self-respect than to go with him, very little can be said for her " previous chaste char acter." DOSSEY BATTIiE, ESQ. We are pleased to welcome this genial and talented gentleman back to service in the journalistic world in a position commensurate with his accomplish ments and ability. We see from the Wilson Mirror that he has taken a position on the Wilmington Messen ger, whereat the proprietors and readers of the paper are to be con gratulated. The Mirror says : The only, the versatile, the incom parable Dossey Battle, a writer of sparkling brilliancy and a humorist of richest radiance, has accepted a position in the city department of the Wilmington Messenger, and we are rejoiced to see him again in a field where his innumerable gifts and splen did talents and magnificent attain ments so eminently and so felicitously fit him for the most brilliant usefulness. In this ' special realm of humor he stands a sceptred monarch, and no one dares his sovereignity to dispute, for he is unapproachable in his tower ing height above all others, and stands alone without a peer. We gladly welcome him back to a vocation which he has so signally adorned with his brilliant powers and we feel like shout ing for "Ulysses has come bake to his home." JEFFERSON DAVIS'S ASHES. His Widow Gives Her Consent That They Shall Rest in Richmond. New York, July n. Mrs. Davis, the widow of the late Jefferson Davis, who has been sojourning at the New York Hotel, in this city, for some time past, in a letter forwarded to the citi zens of Richmond today, states that, after much deliberation, she has decided to give Virginia the care of her hus- 1 If tm anus remains, sne orieny reviews the claims of the various states to her husband's remains, and urges the fact that in the fullness of tame he did not belong to any part of the country, but that in Richmond he received gener ous and unwavering support in the darkest hour of the south s defeat. She refers to her personal sacrifice in giving up the hope ot dwelling near her hus band's burial place and expresses the hope that the states of the Confederacy will also relinquish their cherished plans ior trie sake of gratifying the majority 01 me veterans ot the south, wtjo have urgea Richmond as the proper place for him who loved them all and labored for their glory. THE PRESS CONVENTION. The Press Convention in this city ! will give that organization such a boom as it has never had lwfore. Winston does things whoie-handed or not at all, and she has taken hold of this matter of entertaining the editors in her usual vigorous way. Look over the committee lists and see who are at work. It is the rank and file of Winston's business and professional citizens. Every man wants to do his share in this matter, and he stands . ready to heed the call. It is a united people who put their heads and money together. They have gone to work like one man, and all the State knows how Winston people can work. Editors of North Carolina, you will find here a reception which will be as sincere as it is generous, kvery home in this hustling city will be open to your coming.. Nothing will be too good for you, and no expenses will be spared to make your sojourn here one of comfort and ease. Our people will welcome you with open hands and glad hearts. Nowhere in this State is the profession to which you belong held in higher esteem. These people know your worth, they appreciate your work, and they will give to you such a reception as has rarely, if ever, been accorded the profession in North I Carolina. Winston Tobacco Journal. Atlanta is in lurk. The general headquarters of the West Point Ter minal Company will be moved to that place according to the decision of the Board of Directors just held in New York. The Alliance is not going over the country begging charity, it demands justice and it will have it. The Alli ance is going into politics. It is as full of polictics as an egg is of meat. We have gone into politics, and gone to stay. Politics is the science of government, but party-ism is a neatly fitting collar around the neck with a chain attached to it. I rejoice to see the day when farmers have decided to go into politics. No higher duty, except to your God, devolves upon you than to find out your political duty and do it. To whom does your party belong? To the people? You may have thought that it belonged to a handful of bosses, but you will be relieved of this idea in less than 1 2 months. L. L. Polk at Oxford. The happiest news to the man from Maine, Is the cry of his friends : "We are solid for Blaine !" HENDERSON, N. C. Twenty Years Ago as Compared With What Is To-JDay. I Special Correspondence of the Gold Leaf. One who saw Henderson twenty jears ago and can see it at the present day cua form some idea of this great changes it has undergone. The principal thing to know is the cause of the great change. An imperfect sketch of the place may be read with some interest by some of the readers of your most deservedly popular journal, so, from a recollection of the place, I will give some items of its adver sities and the causes of the prosperous condition of the place at the present time. Henderson twenty years ago was only a depot on 'the Raleigh & Gaston rail road with only a population of a few hundred inhabitants, most of the land and property around the place being owned by Capt. Ellis Young. The houses were all of wooden structure. It has been visited by fire, I think, twice in the last twenty years, and most of the busi ness portion of the town laid in ashes. In the last few years Capt. Young died leaving twins a son and a daughter who became heirs to his large estate. His son being an enterprising man and of large means, has in the last few years placed on the vacant lots caused by the last fire a beautiful brick block. This spirit of enterprise has kindled the same feelings in others, and now the place, instead of being built of wood, is adorned with handsome brick buildings and occupied by business men and trade of various kinds carried on in them. It has not the appearance at the present time of a wayside depot, but presents that of a beautiful and thriving town of four or five thousand inhabitants. To mention some of the causes of the prosperity of the place I will say that the facilities for the sale of leaf tobacco is one of the great causes. It has four warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco. One is run by Messrs. Harris. Gooch & Co., three enterprising, popular and thrifty men of financial ability sufficient to push their business to its highest ca pacity. Those who trust their tobacco to their care generally return home sat isfied. Owen .Davis also runs a ware house and is a man after the same man ner of the above named gentlemen and sells a large amount of the leaf, to the satisfaction of patrons. There is also the Alliance warehouse, managed by Messrs. Butler, Jenkins & Bullock. This house is run by the County Alliance which furnishes means to carry the busi ness on which it is needless to say is well and satisfactorily done. The superin tendent is Mr. W. H. Jenkins, who is well known as a warehouseman from long ex perience. And last but not least is that yeteran warehouseman Mr. D. Y. Cooper whose house shares an equal portion of the trade as he is of long experience in the business. A large portion of the tobacco bought on this market is manufactured in thje place into plug and smoking, large fac tories being operated here with success. The largest is the Burgwyn Bros, factory which puts up both plug and smoking and turns out splendid articles of both grades. There are many other advantages of which I might speak the healthfulness of the place, the hospitality and socia bility of its people, and educational and religious advantages. There are churches representing nearly all the Protestant creeds with large membership. The pul pits are occupied by intelligent ministers who expound the riches of Christ's King dom to their congregations. Henderson has also unusual facili ties for dispensing the news of the day, two live papers being published -.here by progressive editors. One of them has been in the journalistic business in the place for a number of years and has done as much towards its progress as any cit izen 01 xne piace. mat nis enorta are highly appreciated the flourishing con dition of bis paper shows. The influence 01 a good newspaper published in a place adds more to its progress than anything that can be started. In season and out the Gold Leaf seta forth the attractions and advantages of its town to those who are in search of a place to locate. Much more could be said in behalf of the nliu but fearful of occupying too much space will close by hoping that Henderson may improve m xne iumre m tne same pro- jKjruuu as in me pasr. Cms. R. Lewis.
