THURSDAY, FKH. 16, 1893.
Factories must come before Hen
derson will grow and prosper as it
should.
Think, of what a great amount of
"licking" the people of New York city
did last year. Thirteen tons of
postage stamps are said to have been
sold there in 1892.
There is yet hope for others. Even
President Harrison has joined the great
majority and gone Democratic in
appointing Judge Jackson to the Su
preme Court of the United States.
March 4th, the date of President
Cleveland's inauguration, is drawing
on apace, and military companies,
political clubs and individuals are
arranging to be in Washington on that
important occasion.
The New York World states that
125,000 New Yorkers went skating on
a recent Sunday. The Wilmington
Messenger suggests that they won't
go skating in the by and by, as there
is no ice down there.
The observant editor of the Concord
Standard thinks that looking at the
Columbian postage stamp one would
imagine that the length and breadth
of stamps had grown in proportion to
the growth of the country.
The Charlotte Democrat propounds
the following question, which is re
spectfully referred to Editor Marshall,
of the Gatonia Gazette, for solution :
If I admits editorial plural we,
doesn't a poet's license allow "editor
are."
According to the latest "revised
statistics" regarding the complexion
of President Cleveland's Cabinet,
North Carolina will not be in it. This
is to be regretted by patriotic Tar
Heels who are imbued with a proper
spirit of State pride but we have no
fear but what the machinery of govern
ment will work just as smoothly and
the country be just as safe without it.
Now comes another discovery affect
ing the new Columbian postage stamps.
It is made by the New York Sun and
it is that whereas in the one-cent
1 t
siamp Loiumous is represented as
being in sight of land and wearing a
smooth face, in the two-cent variety
the same gentleman appears on land
twelve hours later with a magnificent
set of whiskers. That simply gots to
show the wonderful possibilities of the
new country for growth and develop
ment, we suppose.
Some one has said that the horrors
of death are added to by the news
paper cuts published of prominent
men. The dead are not the only ones
thus imposed upon. Many of those
living have their feelings lacerated and
their vanity hurt in the same way.
This is what constrains Editor Deal, of
the Wilkesboro Chronicle, to rise
and make the following remark. He
says:
If Lieut.-Gov. Doughton don't begin
a suit for slander against those papers
which have been publishing his pic
ture, he's not the man we thought he
was.
Since the formal canvass of the
electoral vote by the joint action of
the Senate and House of Representa
tives last week, particulars of which
are printed on the first page of the
Gold Leaf this week, Grover Cleve
land is now really and truly the
President-elect. This "official count"
shows that Cleveland had received 277,
Harrison 145 and Weaver 22. The
next step in carrying out the wishes of
the people as expressed at the polls in
November will be the inauguration of
the "Man of Destiny" on the fourth of
next month.
Our bright paragraphic friend of
the Wilmington Star is in a dilemma.
Says he : ;
Before we call Hawaii in we ought
to know how to call her. Untutored
folks over here call her Ha-wi-e, but
the say over there she goes by the
nariie of Ha-we-are. Ha-we-are to
settle this thing we don't know.

The editor of the Painesville, Ohio, !
Democrat, loyal fellow that he is,
waxes jubilant over the approaching
time when there will be a change in
the national administration, and sings
in this vein :
Haste, ye maidens, prim and starch.
Prepare ye for the Fourth of March ;
To Washington then hie ye all,
And dance at Grover Cleveland's ball.
Factories must come before Hen
derson will grow and prosper as it

They must be a peculiar people
over at Houston, Va., or else there is
a model person in the post office whom
they think it would be impossible
to displace. The Record-Advertiser
says:
While other towns are fuming and
fretting about who shall be postmas
ter Houston remains placi'l and con
tented there being no opposition to
our present popular posti:i-:ress Miss
Roberta Edmondson.

Right Rev. Theodore B. Lyman,
Bishop of the diocese of North Caro
lina, was married to Miss Susan Boone
Robertson, of Charleston, S. C, last
week. The ceremony took place in
St. Michiel's church. The Bishop
and his bride have gone on a trip to
Florida, and from there to New
Orleans, where they will remain until
after Mardi Gras. They will then go
to New York for a month, after which
time they will return to Raleigh.

To our esteemed contemporaries the
Tarboro Southerner, Winston Repub
lican, and such others as are running
the advertisement of the Golden Rod
Publishing Co., of Chicago, we wish to
say that concern is a rank fraud. The
Gold Leaf has not been "bit," but it
knows whereof it speaks. Drop it and
thereby save yourselves from further
loss and be not a party to swindling
your readers. Why will publishers
take advertisements, especially when
they look suspicious and bear the
stamp of fraud on their face, from
concerns they know absolutely nothing
about ?
Factories must come before Hen
derson will grow and prosper as it

The greatness of this country, the
stability of its institutions, and the
future spread out before it cause the
people of outlying territory to want to
get into the same family government
under the Stars and Stripes. Not only
are the Hawaiians, or a part of them
at least, clamoring for annexation, but
the Canadians are knocking for ad
mission also. In the town of Windsor,
untano, a lew days ago a vote was
taken on this subject and out of 449
votes cast 413 were in favor of it.
But the United States can get along
very well without any more territory
and taxation. This country is quite
large enouge already and if we take
care of what we have and make
foreign nations respect our rights on
the high seas we will be doing pretty
well.
Factories must come before Hen
derson will grow and prosper as it
should.
What Henderson needs is factories
small industries of various kinds,
and a number of them to furnish
employment for hundreds of operatives
and utilize our abundant raw materials.
While we do not expect any man to
put his money into such things simply
to "help the town," they should take
stock in and encourage any enterprise
that promises a good return for the
capital invested. If there is one class
of persons who ought to be more inter
ested in factories than another, it is the
merhants. What a difference it
would make in their trade if a few
thousands of dollars could be turned
loose every week among factory
operatives! Our merchants, con
tractors and builders, capitalists and
lot owners should interest themselves
in starting factories ot such kind and
character as give employment to labor
at living wages.
Factories must come before Hen
derson will grow and prosper as it
should.
We regret exceedingly that Mr. J.
H. Myrover is to sever his connection
with the Charlotte Observer, on ac
count of imparled eyesight. Mr.
Myover is one of the best writers on
the State press. His scholarly attain
ments, knowledge of men and measures,
enable him to write intelligently on
any subject, and his articles are read
with pleasure and profit by all. Char

Dr. Norvin Green, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
died at his Vhome' in Louisville KyM
Sunday, aged 74 years. His illness was
only of ten days' -duration, though for
six weeks he had been confined to the
house, and since last fall had not been
well. His death removes a con
spicuous figure from the business world,
and a man who for the past twelve
or
fourteen years had stood at the
head of one of the foremost enterprises
of the country.

Henry C. De Mille, the play
wright, died at his home in Pompton,
N. .. at 4 o'clock Sunday morning,
of typhoid fever. He was 39 years ot
age, a man of scholarly literary attain
ments, and in conjunction with David
Belasco had been quite successful as
the author of a number of popular
dramas, the principal ones being
"Lord Chumley," "The Wife" and
"The Charity Ball." Mr. De Mille was j
born in North Carolina, and hrs;uulu3 Suuu lu;uS luc YA"3-

DEATH OF MR. JOHN M. ROBINSON.
The death of Mr. John M. Robin
son, President of the Seaboard Air
Line system of railways, extending
from Portsmouth, Va., to Atlanta, Ga.,
and of the Bay Line Steam Packet
Company, will be sincerely regretted
wherever his name was known and his
eminent abilities were recognized. He
died at his home in Baltimore at an
early hour Tuesday morning. His
disease was rheumatism complicated
with an affection of the kidneys. The
death of Mr. Robinson removes an
able and successful railroad man from
the bush waly of life, and his loss will
be a most severe one to the South,
which he has done so much to build
up. From the Baltimore Sun we take
the following brief sketch of his life :
Mr. Robinson was born in Phila
delphia, August 22, 1835. He was a
son of the late Moncure Robinson,
who went to Philadelphia from Vir
ginia, where he was one ot the origina
tors and promoters of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad.
John M. Robinson, after passing
through a regular coarce at the Vir
ginia Military Institute,
continued his
studies at the Lawrence Scientific
School and Harvard University. He
further studied civil engineering and,
as a part of his course, he served as
engineman . on a locomotive between
Philadelphia and the Susquehanna
river. Mr. Robinson attached himself
to the engineering corps of the Con
federate States when the civil war
broke out, and while in active service,
rose to the rank of colonel and served
as a staff officer. He was first at
tached to General Wise's forces, on
Roanoke Island, but later served in
Virginia under Generals Breckinridge,
Jones and Loring. Twice he success
fully ran the Federal blockade when
he was sent to Europe to buy supplies
for the engineering bureau of the Con
federacy. Just before the close of the
war he was in charge of railroad
transportation for the Confederacy.
Mr. Robinson married Miss
Champe Conway, daughter of Dr.
Conway, of Richmond, Va. He came
to Baltimore in 1864 with his wife,
who survives him, with eight children.
GOV. HOGG ON THE TEXAS BURN
ING. Gov. Hogg, ot Texas, has expressed
himself very strongly on the subject of
the burning of the negro fiend Henry
Smith, an account of which was pub
lished in the Gold Leaf last week.
He says:
Civilization stands a helpless witness
to the most revolting execution of tne
age, in which a large number of
citizens openly in broad day, publicly
became murderers by methods shame
ful . to humanity. That crime com
mitted at Paris is a disgrace to the
State. Its atrocity, inhumanity and
sickening effect on the people cannot
be obscured by reference to the pre
vious act of the culprit in brutally
outraging and taking the life of the
innocent child. To contend that his
executioners cannot be indicted nor
tried in the county where the crime
was committed is a pretense and a
mockery. If the legislature will enact
suitable laws and place them at my
command every person who takes part
in a mob shall be brought to trial or the
strength of the machinery of justice
shall be thoroughly tested in the effort.
Well done for Gov. Hogg. He
could not of course do auything else
under the circumstances, but much as
such horrible spectacles are to be
deplored as long as such fiendish and
brutal crimes as that which led to it
are committed, and the courts are as
slow and uncertain to mete out punish
ment, retribution swift and sure will
follow in this way. To no one is the
spirit of mob law more repugnant than
to the Gold Leaf but it holds that the
courts are not entirely blameless, and
as long as this idea lurks in the public
mind the protestations of Gov. Hogg
and all the Governors of the land will
not suffice to put a stop to lynch law
when crimes like that for which Smith
was put to death are committed.

GRESHAM IN THE CABINET.,
If reports are true the selection of
Judge Walter Q. Gresham for the first
position in President Cleveland's
Cabinet has been confirmed by the
President-elect himself. Of course
there are .various opinions as to the
wisdom of such choice while all con
cede the high character, purity and
ability of Judge Gresham and recog
nize his fitness for the position, but
there are those who think the portfolio
of Secretary of State should have been
given a man whose Democratic ante
cedents and services to the party
antedate his. But in the main the
people if not the politicians have con
fidence in Mr. Cleveland and are
entirely willing to trust his wisdom and
political sagacity. As the Richmond
State says :
Many Democrats will no doubt
criticise Mr. Cleveland for taking into
his cabinet so new a member of the
great Democratic host. But the
Democracy may rest assured that the
President-elect has given the matter
most serious consideration and that he
believes in making the selection he is
judge uresnam is a pure man, a
patriot and a man of great learning
and talents. He enjoys the confidence
of the whole country, and is especially
popular with the agricultural class. If
the independents and old Republicans
who came over to the Democratic
party "our honorable allies" are to
be recognized, certainly no man could
raoie acceptable to the Democracy
than Gresham.
FOR SEPARATE CARS.
The Senate committee on Railways
Friday night decided unanimously to
report favorably the bill requiring
separate cars for whites and blacks,
but will not report it until one or two
railway officials are heard. State
Exchanges.
When those railway officials are
heard, that will settle the matter.
Watch what we say. If there is
anything that will make the average
North Carolina legislator quake in his
boots it is a railroad official and a
"yaller dorg."
THE QUESTION OF BETTER
ROADS.
A Timely and Interesting: Letter
on the Subject of Improved
Public Highways.
Henderson, N. C, Feb. 10, "93.
Editor Gold Leaf : I have just beqn
informed that you are to have a county
meeting to-morrow to consider the
county road improvement scheme. I
would certainly like to b one of the aud
ience a this special movement interests
me very much simply from a scientific
point of view. Raised as I was in a coun
try where good roads were the rule and
bad ones the exception, it affords me
peculiar pleasure to see the good people
of this county taking hold of what I
consider to be the greatest ami the first
reform that the agriculturists u" the Old
North State should take in l..u; ' anL
do it thoroughly. Knowing full wfuf'-oin
our short acquaintance your ttur igh
going progressiveness, I take the liberty
of suggesting a few ideas reaped from my
own personal experience.. It has always
been an accepted fact that before you
could connect any two commercial cen
tres by railroad, it was necessary to find
a. true profile of the country you were to
pass through. I claim when such is the
case is it not equally as necessary to
have the same if not more of the prelim
inary caution exercised in a county or
turnpike road? The traffic over a rail
road is entirely of one nature, whereas
the traffic over a country road is very
diversified. It is well known that the
roads in this great country as they
exist at present, were originally formed
by the Indian following his beaten path
through the primeval forest to satisfy
his thirst for the white man's blood or
to depredate on his copper skinned neigh
bor's preserves. On one of his expedi
tions he encountered a white face who
had located a log cabin and had trans
formed one of his old paths into a lane
or woods track. As the original sou of
the soil was driven out and the Anglo
Saxon took his place their old paths
have been formed into what we now call
roads, and to-day you will find that there
is not a single through turnpike that

KEELEY INSTITUTE,
GREENSBORO, NORTH CARO
LINA.
The Keeley Bi-Chloride of Gold Cure
a Boon to Humanity High Tribute
From One Who Has Just Received
the Treatment Hope for the Un
fortunateln This Handmaid of Re
ligion. Hendebson, N. C, Feb. 10, 1898. 1
Editor Gold Leaf : I have just re
turned from a four weeks' stay at the
Keeley Institute at Greensboro, and 1
am proud to state that I have thrown
off the shackles that bound me hand and
foot. I do not feel the least humiliation
in saying that I have availed myself of
the remedy that fcleaven placed within
my reach, and that I am now a cured
man of intemperance. The humiliating
part is that I continued so long in my
besetting sin, and now is my hour of re
joicing. This is not intended to parade
my former misfortune, nor to set myself
up as a shining light, but is written with
the sincere hope that "some poor strug
gling, shipwrecked brother, it may rescue,
it may save."
First I wish to say emphatically that
at the Keeley Institute at Greensboro,
intemperance can be cured. I know of
my own experience and by what I saw
with my own eyes. And the cure is a
permanent one too. Hanging on the
wall of the doctor's office is a picture of
seventy-eight men who took the treat
ment a year ago, and of this number only
two have fallen by the wayside. Unfort
unately some do not remain cured after
being cured, but all are positively cured.
It is not proposed to paralize a man's
arm, or lock his mouth so that he can
not drink again if he will wilfully do so,
but the Keeley cure will certainly eradi
cate all desire for strong drink, and
destroy the insatiable craving for it.
It will put a man in the same condition
he was before he became addicted to the
use of stimulants, and he will once more j
be a free man. Of course he can again
create a new appetite for it if he will, but
it is his own fault if he does. When the
cured men look back over the thorny
paths they have trod, but very few care
to try them again. The statistics show
that only five per cent, relapse.
There is one point that I would make
plain. Very many suppose that it is
a very tough crowd who take the treat
ment. I assure you it is the very reverse.
Never was I more surprised in my life to
find every one a perfect gentleman, men
of refinement and culture. They had
been rnfortunate in trifling with a habit
that fastened a disease upon them, but
none of them had lost the instincts of a
gentleman. The "loafer," the "bum,"
the " blackguard" or the "city tough"
would find the atmosphere of the Keeley
Institute very unpleasant, if by any
chance he found himself breathing it.
He would grow restless and uncomfort
able. If there was a spark of gentle
mauhood in him it would soon be fan
ned into a flame by the influences around
him.
Another error that some have fallen
into is that there is somerestraint about
it. This is wrong. You are as free as
you would be at home. You can go and
come as you please, the only requirement
being that the treatment, which is with
out pain or inconvenience, is taken regu
larly and as prescribed. You register as
you would at a hotel, and are as free as
if you were on a visit to the town.
The Institute is admirably managed
by the president, Mr. W. H. Osborne,
and the medical department could not
be in better hands than in Dr. W. J. H.
Durham's. All those connected with the
Institute have taken the treatmentthem
selves, know how it is themselves, and
are more than kind to the patients. The
association is most pleasant, and I know
of no four weeks in my life that I ever
spent more enjoyably.
The morals of the Institute are fine.
As the man is disenthralled from the
curse that blights his life, his thoughts
and his motives become purer. Verily
the Keeley cure is the handmaid of
religion. When the Saviour would raise
his dead friend Lazarus from the grave,
he first commanded that those who stood
by should loose his grave clothes from
him, and then the Master gave the life.
So when the disease of intemperance is
cured, a man's ideas "of right and wrong
are brightened and he is ready to lay
hold on the new life indeed. At the In
stitute a copy of the Bible is found in
every room, and a large one has its place
in the centre of the club room, and re
ligious services ore held there every Wed
nesday night.
In Dante's famous poem a great gate
is pictured over which was written "No
Beyond." In the Keeley cure the ine
briate will find not only hope but restor
ation to perfect manhood and happiness.
I shall be glad to talk with any one who
may wish to know more of this God's
greatest blessing to man.

D. Y. COOPER,
The North Carolina Advertiser,
by J. D. Lowry, is the name of a new
paper just started at Mt. Airy. We
have not seen a copy, but the editor
is no new hand at the business and
will make it a success we have no
doubt.
The Caucasian, which was recenily
moved from Clinton to Goldsboro,
has made its appearance from the
latter place. Marion Butler, Presi
dent of the State Farmers' Alliance,
remains the editor. We note that the
paper has been enlarged to eight
columns.
The Parish Record is the name ot a
monthly publication issued in the
interest of the Church of the Holy
Innocents, Henderson, the pastor Rev.
Julian E. Ingle, editor. It contains a
large amount ot choice and wholesome
reading matter and its careful and
thoughtful perusal can not fail to be
fruitful of good.
The Gold Leaf is pleased to note
the evident success of the State Chron
icl. No paper in the State has shown
more improvement within the past
year. Editor T. R. Jernigan has
made it bright, newsy, clean and
influential, and its patroage in adver
tising and subscriptions should be
commensurate with its merits.
The Progressive Farmer has closed
its seventh yearly volume. It is newsy,
industrious and contains much interest
ing reading matter. In the hands of
Editor Ramsay the Progressive
Farmer is a sharp prod in the sides of
a good many politicians, and if it
shall push them up to looking more after
the interest and welfare of the people,
its efforts will not have been in vain.
The News is the name of a new
paper published at Gillburg, Vance
county, S. G. Satlerwhite editor. It
is issued monthly, from the presses of
D. E. Aycock, the Henderson job
printer, and the second number is just
out. It is devoted to the interest or
Farmers. Alliance, and though
.....
small in size is meaty. The Gold
Leaf wishes the new enterprise well.
The Graham Gleaner has just com
pleted its eighteenth .olume. As our
good friend McDiarmid, of the
Robesonian, would say, the Gleaner
man has been "Kenodling" about the
newspaper business a good while and
has earned more dollars than he ever
got. He publishes a good paper and
the Gold Leaf yields to him in point
of age and speech making if not in
good looks.
The Franklinton Weekly is the
name of a new candidate for patronage
and popularity in the newspaper field.
It is a neatly printed little sheet, four
columns to the page, and is published
y the Franklintan Publishing Com
pany, with Robert C. Gulley as editor.
Price $1.00 a year. The Gold Leaf
welcomes the Weekly to its exchange
table and wishes it long life and pros
perity. The Kinston Free Press is one of
the most enterprising weekly papers in
the State. It is conducted with singu
lar ability, is scrupulously neat and
well printed and the progressive spirit
ot Editor Herbert is a constant source
of surprise to his readers and patrons,
indeed, the Free Press would do
credit to any town three times the
size of Kinston and twice the patronage
it receives. Such a paper speaks with
thousands of tongues every week for
the place in which it is published, and
tells of its prosperity and the enter
prise of its citizens.

The Salisbury Watchman, late a
Third party organ, has changed hands
and will be Democratic in politics
hereafter.
One of the neatest as well as One of
the best edited and most readable
weekly papers we get is the Clinton
Democrat. It did valiant service for
the Democracy of old Sampson during
the last campaign and deserves well at
the hands of the people of its section.
And having the field all to itself now
since the Caucasian has been moved
to Goldsboro, it will no rloubt reap
the reward it merits.
The Union Republican, of Winston,
has been greatly improved by its new
dress of type. It is a good paper,
well edited and newsy, and is ap
parently prospering. While holding
different political opinions, personally
we hold Editor Goslin in warm esteem
and always read his paper with in
terest. We are not of those who can
not recognize the good qualities and
redeeming traits in a man simply
because we may not agree with him
politically or otherwise.
One of the livest and brightest
little dailies in the State is the Salis
bury Herald. Indeed, we are sur
prised that a town the size of Salisbury
can boast such a creditable daily
paper. As the fellow said about his
dog being fat, it ain't so mighty
blank big as you might suppose, but it
is full of news, wide-awake and lively
as a cricket and is doing good work
for its town. Editor J. R. Whichard
is full of energy and has newspaper
experience and ability, as his paper
shows.
The Newton Enterprise has entered
upon its fourthteenth volume. It is
an excellent paper and merits the very
liberal patronage it receives. Bold,
fearless and outspoken, a staunch sup
porter and champion, of the principles
of Democracy, it is but natural that it
creates friction in some quarters while
it is applauded in others. In his
reference to the beginning of a new
volume Editor F. M. Williams says :
"Some like it, some abuse it, some
endorse it, some condemn it. But all
read it, and that is what the Enter
prise is printed for."
Tuesday's issue of our neighbor the
Henderson Herald, announces the re
tirement of Mr. Charles E. Thacker
he having a more nattering business
offer made him elsewhere. Mr. Geo.
M. Newell assumes sole charge as edi
tor and proprietor, and hereafter the
paper will be isued weekly instead of
semi-weekly as started. During his
brief stay in Henderson Mr. Thacker
made many friends who will regret his
departure. To Mr. Newell the Gold
Leaf reiterates the sentiment of good
will and fraternal greeting expressed
when the Herald first made its appear
ance and wishes the enterprise success.
The Lumberton Rebesonian, genial,
jolly, laughing, wholesouled old
Brother McDiarmid's paper, is not
only one of the best of our weekly
State exchanges, but it is also one of
the oldest, being in its 24th year. It
contains a vast amount of pure and
wholesome reading matter and boasts
of a large and prompt paying constit
uency ot subscribers and advertising
patrons. There is np more hard work
ing and conscientieus editor than W.
W. McDiarmid and the Gold Leaf
hopes he may continue in the harness
until his head gets white and his bank
account sufficient for him to retire and
tough at the expense of the balance of
of us.
