According t announcement tlie Democrats of Vance held their con vention at the court house Saturday for the purpose of nominating it ticket for county ollicers and a member of the Legislature. The meeting was called to order by W. K. Gary, Esq.. chairman of the ex ecutive committee. Mr. T. T. Hicks was elected chairman and (,'apt. J. J. While secretary. On t ikini; the chair Mr. Hicks addressed the convention in ,rief hut appropriate words, afier which the following nominations were made : Clerk Superior Omi t, Henry l'erry. Sherill', K. A. Powell.

Jerman, of Warren, was endorsed lor the Senate from this dis trict (Warren and Vance.) All the candidates are well known gentlemen and need no introduction to the people whose sulfraes they ask. Messrs. l'erry and l'owell now hold the ollices for which they have been re-nominated, and no county ever had two better ollicials. Mr. Ihichan is one of our most ster linir citizens, an estimable gentleman and successful farmer. lie is a care ful, painstaking and systematic busi ness man and will make an excellent treasurer if elected. Mr. Cunningham is a worthy and well known young fanner, and was the Democratic nominee for coroner lat election. Col. Hood is one of the finest civil engineers and surveyors in the Stale, and both he and Mr. Tekram are well qualified for the duties of the respect ive ollices for which they have been nominated. Mr. Young was for many years Clerk of the Court in which position he made a record second that of no otlu ial in the State. A thoroughgoing ini-i-ness man, intelligent, well informed, familiar with the laws and under-tand-ing the needs of the people, he will make an excellent, representative in the Legislature, and will serve his cmi stituents without regard to political bias or race distinction, faithfully and conscientiously to the best of his ability. The ticket is before us, it is a good one, worthy of support, and it should be the duty of all good citizens to rally to it and see that it is elected by a big majority. Notes About the State Fair. The week immediately preceding the opening of the (treat State Fair at Hal cigh, October 23rd. 24th, 2:th, 20th, shows actual conditions which will make it the very best and most com prehensive one ever held in the State. Nothing is wanting now but good weather and the support of the good people of North Carolina to make it an affair that every true "Tar Heel" will he proud to sec and that may be talked of for a long time to come. Croat preparations have beeu made for the entertainment and amusement of the public. The people of the old North State in coming together in a great reunion will find many features which will please, surprise, delight and startle them. They will see the most gorgeous ex hibits ever made at a North Carolina Fair. They will see the best racing on record in this State, for there are nearly sixty entries in the trottiug races and it is probable that as many as forty game, ambitious thorough breds will be in the running races. There will be better attractions and more of them than ever before, inclu ding the great Cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg ; balloon ascensions by man and dog : the famous dancing girls from the World's Fair at Chica go ; a menagerie of trained wild ani mals ; the Working World a wonder ful piece of mechanism ; a great mu seum of rare creatures and curiosities ; a large display of pet stock rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, squirrels, dogs and the like. The finest poultry show ever seen in the South, aud a great exhibit of live stock. Now let everybody visit the Great State Fair. It has been worked up at great expense and trouble for the ben efit and entertainment of North Caro lina people. It is a State occasion aud ought to be appreciated and enjoyed as such and hence liberally supported. The railroads have made a special rate of one fare for the round trip. Let every Democrat do his full duty from now on until the election. Much depends upon Democratic success this time. We can not afford to be luke warm or take any chances. Kememker the public speaking here Saturday. Capt. Cooke, Mr. Millikin, and Mr. Stroud, candidates for Con gress from this district, will speak in the court house here on thai day. Come out to hear them. Mr. Marion -JiuTLER. is chief en gineer of the most a: rogant and insolent machine ever known in the history of politics, but it got several of its teeth knocked out when he fed Wellborn, of Wilkes, into it.

The Movement has Come to Stay Road Meeting in Raleigh During the State Fair Report of Buncombe County's Road Committee which Visited New Jersey and Other States. All great movement? in history have succeeded after a large amount of talk and agitation. If the agitation shows that the movement has but little merit in it, the people get tired of it and drop it. If on the other hand, as is the case with this move for better roads, it is lull of merit and of vital importance to the people, it will con tinue to grow until it has become a part of the policy and practice of every community. We have been asleep on the question of public road improve ments for so long a time that it re quires a considerable amount of agita tion to wake us up so that we realize the situation. Dut once aroused the people of North Carolina can oe depended upon to do the right thing in the right way. t().l) MEKTIXfS IX KAI.KHJJI ll'KIXi Tin: l Aiit. The great road conference held in Charlotte in September adjourned to meet again in Ualeigh on Wednesday night of the State Fair week, at eight o'clock, in the hall of the House of Representatives. It is expected that all of those present at the Charlotte meeting and many additional delegates from other counties will attend this meeting in Kaleigh on October 24th. Fvery citizen of the State who is interested in having better roads (and this includes everybody) is invited to attend. Among the distinguished persons who will address the meeting are, Covenor Carr, General ltoy Stone, the Government load Engineer, Washing ton, and Hon. S. li. Alexander, the father of the Mecklenburg good roads movement, and others. This will probably be the last State meeting held by the Road Improvement Associ ation this year, and we desire to have it the largest. Let everybody who wants better roads come and take part in this meeting, and see the exhibits, and then go home and start or push the movement in their own counties and townships. There will he a large exhibit of im proved road machinery on the State Fair grounds, a part of which will he operated so that it can be seen at work. One part of the exhibit will consist of a county outtit for road work, with prices and descriptions of the machines so that everybody can see just what a county ought to purchase as an outfit for this work. lU'NCOMliK'S UOAIl I'OMM ITTKK'S KKI'OKT. One of the best recent illustrations of the fact that the people of North Carolina are becoming aroused to the importance of this movement for better roads, and that they propose to do the work in the right way is seen in the action of the authorities of Buncombe county in sending a committee of citizens to carefully examine the best roads and road systems to be found in Mecklenburg county (of our own State) in Virginia, New .Jersey and New York. This committee has just re turned from its extended trip and its report is now being published in the Citizen. It has done a good work not only for Buncombe but also for the whole State, and its report ought to be widely read in every county. It is hoped that many papers will copy it from the Citizen. It is expected that the committee will also make a report to the Road Improvement Association in Raleigh October 24th. The finest roads seen by the com mittee were in New Jersey; where indeed the finest roads in America are to be found. These roads are Macada mized with trap rock, nine to twenty two leet wide, and all of them have been built under the best engineering supervision. On these roads can be frequently seen, two horses or mules drawiug loads yaryiug from two to live tons, aud on a Macadam road in I'niou county, New Jersey, two horses were known by the writer to pull a load of seven tons a distance of twelve miles daily. Perhaps the roads best adapted to North Carolina conditions and especi ally to our finances, were seen by the committee in Canandaigua, New York. Concerning these roads the report says : Five members of your comiiiitteeucting o.i the advice ot General Stone, accom panied turn to ( aimndaigua, .New lork, where was found a character of road improvement best adapted to our means. There tin? farmers were collecting the stone off their fields and piling them up in convenient places, where the county hands crushed them and hauled the metal to the adjacent roads. They ad vocated a Macadam not exceeding eight feet wide and eight to ten inches thick. and used the material unscreened, pre ferring to have all sizes mixed together (this point was also advocated bv General Stone.) The cost of these roads we were told, was from SoOO.OO to IJ'.KiO.OO per mile: and we drove over oik which had not exceeded the smaller figure. 10 very one with whom we talked seemed pleased with thework doneand generally recommended a narrower road and a thicker Macadam than was used in New Jersey. The cheapness of the Canan daigua work, its being done not bv con tract, but on county account; the division of tne public fund among the citizens, encouraging the farmers to clear their lands of stone, were Hiiumg the most attractive features of our visit to that place.

Tom Emmet, the baby boy of Mr. aud Mrs. II. C.Matthews, aged 8 years, died on Friday last of congestion. He was a bright, promising and lovable child and a general favorite with all, and his grief stricken parents have the sincere condolence of the eutire com munity m their sore bereavement. Politics dull. I see but little interest displayed and everybody seems to be at work. Dr. G. E. Matthews aud David Bell, of Enfield, spoke to a small crowd hero Saturday. Mr. Bell made a tiue speech, oue of the best I've heard. Clear, logical, and conclusive, I wish it could have been heard by every man in the county. Free from all abuse and personalities, it showed the road to prosperity and peace was by the Democratic route. Cotton crops will come in short. Corn is an average.

Rev. T. M. Johnson's Address Mr. Coulter and Miss Thomas Next Sunday Other Matters, &c. Mr. Johnson delivered a very earnest address on Rom. 8:0. " To be carnally minded is death ; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." He said : In the scripture, life and death are often put in contrast. This is the case in the verse chosen. Carnally minded, death ; spiritually minded, life and peace. What is it to be carnally minded ? The margin says " mending the flesh,' or being led by the carnal desires and appetites. To follow these instead of the spirit, meaus spiritual death. Whenever we see young men given over to appetite and lust, or worldly pleasure we may be sure that they are dead dead to the higher and better things of the spirit. It is sad to me to see young men lounging about the streets during a religious service. Truly spiritual persons love a religious service wherever it is held. When young men can take carriage or bicycle rides on Sabbath during a religious service, it is sad to me, aud shows that they are carnally minded, or at least dead to better things, Oh, how many of our young people seem to be dead ! When the Bible is read hurriedly or uegiected, and we say prayers, instead of praying, these indicate a condition of death. Mr. L. A. Coulter will deliver an address at the rooms Sunday 3 p. m. Miss Mary Lou Thomas will sing two solos. Mr. Coulter will arrive Saturday. Dr. W. E. Hall, of New York, who delivered a free lecture on the "Mistakes of Ingersoli'" Friday afternoon, was greeted by a good crowd, aud gave a line lecture. He is eloquent, and incisive, aud impressed his audience favorably. The night lecture, was humorous to the extreme, and highly enjoyed by those who heard him. It was admitted by all that he is decidedly a popular lecturer, aud he succeeded in meeting the expectations of those who had come out to hear something good. chaste, and extremely funny. The Association hopes to have Dr. Hall again in November. , l'rof. Henry Louis Smith, of David son College, will open the popular lecture course November 9th. l'rof. Smith will remain over Sunday and deliver the anniversary address at the aunu'U meeting of the Association at the Presbyterian church. Announce ments later. In the Interest of the South. We have received from the publish ers, E. C. Robertson & Co., Cincin nati, Ohio, a copy of a valuable and instructive little book "The Road to Wealth Leads Through the South : Solid Facts from Settlers Along the Line." There is much information in it concerning the South, its opportunities and advantages, and as the testimony is voluntary and comes from Northern men who hav; settled m the Southern States, the book makes pleasant read ing in contradistinction to the screed of" S.," published on the first page of the Gold Leaf this week. The ellorts of this company in turning capital and settlers to the South are deserving of the highest recognition and apprecia tion, aud that they are accomplishing results may be seen when we state orders have been received for over 100,000 copies of this edition. James Young as Hamlet. A rare treat is in store for our the atre going people lovers of Shake spearean tragedy in the performance of the versatile and talented young tragedian James Young and his superb company of artists, at Burwell Hall Saturday afteroon aud night. At the matinee Bulwer's rreat plav ' The Lady of Lyons" will be presented This will be snveu in order that the ladies and children, and persons from the country as well as others who can not attend at night, may have an op portunity of witnessing a performance by Mr. Young. We are sure they will be swift to take advantage of it. At night " Hamlet" will be pro duced. As the Evening News, of Port Jervis, N. Y, says. "Mr. Young's conception of the character of the mad Prince of, Denmark exhibits a degree of talent that will some day place him iu the van of American tragediaus. Phys ically speaking, he makes a handsome Hamlet. His youthful appearance, ex pressive features, almost feminine in their mobility, and the natural air of melancholy lighted by rare smiles, sug gest the ' Melancholy Dane' as Shake speareau students love to picture him. His deep, mellow voice is held under perfect control and thrills the listener with its rapid change from gentle satire to Litter censure iu his scene with Ophelia. The soliloquy, that test of dramatic declamation, was finely de livered." LETTER FROM DEXTER. Death of a Good Man Mr. Stephen VV. Wilkinson. Dexter, N. C, Oct. 16, 1S94. Editor Gold Leaf : It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of our beloved friend and neighbor Mr. Stephen W. Wilkinson, who departed this life Oct. 12th, in the 78th year of his life. He was one of our best citizens, re spected by all who knew him. Never did we hear anyone speak evil of this good man nor have not ever heard him speak unkindly of anyoue. His life was that of a true Christian gentleman. Mr. Wilkinson lmd been in feeble health for quite a while, but little did we thiuk that the White Horse was so near to take his spirit to the Father who gave it.
