VOLUME NINETEEN. The (lou Leaf this wefk enter ujxn another volume. Eighteen years ao the lir-tt copy of the aKT was given to the public. The present publisher then st il sponsor for it anI he has been at the helm ever since. We shall endeavor to improve upon the past and make the Com Leaf better at every joint as we may have the strength and means to do so. Further than this we have no promises to make feeling that it is not necessary to do .so. The conduct and character of the paper during all these years should be s-ome guarantee of what its future will be. Our lines have fallen in pleasant places. We thank the public for the kind consideration and liberal pat ronage given us: and to our brethren of the press we are deeply grateful for the courtesy, kindness and erir couracmciit we have; reeieved from them at all times. To one and all we extend the com pliments of the season and offer as surances of our "most distinguished consideration." To a man who has had three mothers-in-law the bluff put up by Congress would seem a tame affair to Mr. Roberts but for the salary that -roes aloii"- with the seat. A;i iNAi.no persistently refuses to stay in one place long enough to lie captured, although Mr. McKinley's message was withheld a whole day in hope of being able to add a post cript about something to this effect. The advertising olumis of the (Joi.n Leaf will be found a helpful guide to lioliday shoppers. You will lind a diversity of lines and a variety of assortments represented from which you cannot fail to make a suitable selection. Oi.n Santa Clans can lind plenty of things for Christmas presents for old and young in the Henderson stores. Our merchants have large, attractive and appropriate stocks of holiday goods. As to who these are consult our advertising columns. l'Ei;nrs no better time to pav your subscription will ever present itself than the piesent if vim are in arrears. To ascertain this look at the date on your address label. The (inures denote the time to which the subscription is paid, or when it started. The wide-awake merchant is con stantly on the lookout for bargains. The people are also on the lookout for bargains, and the merchant who can offer inducements is the one who can sell the goods, provided he lets the people know what bargains ho has. To tell the people so in the newspaper is the best and cheapest way. The face of our erstwhile familiar but some time absent friend the Con yrtssional Record greets us again. Some thoughtful friend doubtless knowing the value placed upon said publication In all country newspaper offices as covering for single wrapper packages ami kindling purposes kindly sends it to us regularly since Congress met. Thanks, this will materially reduce the expense for wrapping paper and coal oil while the cinch lasts. We know it is not the popular thiuLT to sav but the (;i.i Leaf thinks Congressman Huberts should have been seated. Then investigate his case and if he is found guilty as charged or of any act or crime that would render him unworthy to sit as member of that body expel him. We honor Congressman "Kite-bin for not being influenced by the noisy clamor against Roberts. He voted to seat him ami is now ready to vote to unseat him if the facts shall warrant it after investigation into the matter has been made. B. B. B. FOr"bAD BLOOD.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION. It is wenerallv understood that newspapers in publishing letters of their correspondents do not neces sarily endorse the views therein ex pressed: but when they discuss ques tions of great interest and of personal concern, many overlook this fact. It is for this reason that we now allude to the communication of our valued friend and correspondent Mr. . Hatchett in last week's issue. We made no reference to it then but do not wish to be understood as en dorsing the writing up of senatorial candidates or even about them at this limn. It is generally understood that the one great fight in North Carolina at this time is for "White Supremacy.' The Amendment must be carried. While the Amendment will be carried by a large majority, so great is the isue and so far reaching the effect, no effort must be spared and no other issue must be allowed to come in and in any way interfere with the concentration of the efforts of every white man to this end. This is well recognized and accepted by the party, and every prominent senatorial candidate, as we under stand it, has signified his intention of holding off from the fight now and his desire that his friends do likewise and restrain their zeal. There is no intention or attempt to take the settlement of the question from the people or to in any wife sidetrack any candidate. The merits and claim of each of the distinguished gentlemen named for this high honor are of such a character that they can well afford to wait until the Amendment is carried to have the question settled; and it is certain that any candidate pressing his claims now only hurt rather than helps his chances, while if his friends will not heed his ad vice and patiently wait, he may well exclaim "deliver me from my friends." While this paper may have its preference in this matter, we will be certain not to express it now, nor will we allow our columns to be used for this purpose until the proper time shall arise. Since writing the above we see that the Democratic State Executive Committ"e in their meet'insr at Hal eigh on the 11th have referred this question to the people that they may take such action as they see tit through their State Convention about the matter. It seems to be understood that the people in the different counties will decide in their conven tions what course they will pursue ami that all agitation will cease until after the August election. We say well done. THE EnPIREOTTHE SOUTH. This is the very appropriate title of a valuable work w hich has recently been published by the Southern Rail way Company, in the interest of the Southern States, and of which the Miiniijuritircrs' Record says this: Its contents illustrate Southern progress from a manufacturing, com mercial and agricultural standpoint in a manner which shows that the "em pi re" may be fittingly applied in this instance. It is a book which is worthy of a place in the most care fully selected library, for it contains data which can be found in no other volume. The mass of statistical and other information represents much time ami a really vast amount of labor. The illustrations, which are numerous, are extremely artistic and varied in character. In themselves they tell a story of Southern pros perity and development. The South is greatly indebted to the Southern Railway Co. for preparing such a work, which has involved a great ex pense, as it will advertise this sec tion of the country not only in the United States, but abroad. HEAVY NEW EQUIPMENT. The Southern Gives Orders for 41 New Engines and Many Passenger and Traffic Cars. The Southern Railway special, loaded with railroad and newspaper men, which passed Charlotte Thurs day night at 10:ol', enroute to Sa vannah. over the new link from Colum bia to that city, passed Charlotte this morning on its return at '2:'20. Third Vice President Cannon was in charge. Capt. T. S. Clarkson, of this city, took the train through both ways. Ret ween Columbia and Perry's the train at one time reached a speed of 71 miles an hour, and there was great excitement abroad over the achievement. Vice President Gannon made an important announcement to the representatives of the press: The Southern has given the order for an extensive new equipment: For 41 new engins to the Richmond Loco motive Works: 12 new passenger cars, to be built at Pullman, 111.: 4 new bagg.ige and express cars; GoO new box cars, to be built at JetTcrson ville, Ind.: l.OOt) coal, coke, and stock cars, to be built by the Southern Car Company, of Gadsden.

TALK UP YOUR TOWN. j As an exchange aptly says every man ought to show some ambition for and pride in the prosperity and well being of the town and com munity in which he lives. To be sure there is scarcely to be found a town against which there can be no criticism, but it should be the duty of every person, if interested in the Towth and weilfare of the town, to bhow it and express it as often as op portunity presents itself. UT course it is wrong to wilfully misrepresent anything and no one should be com mended for overrating his town or community for the purpose of deceiv ing some other person. But it be comes every good citiz.en, who lives in a good community, to feel a pride in that community and to exhibit such feeling give expression to it. Nothing makes a town more at tractive to a stranger, for instance, than to hear every person living in that town saving something pleasant ibout its eople and its interests. One cf the best wavs in which to make a town attractive, with that sort of attraction that wnl draw other people to it, is for every man and every woman to have something good to say about the people and town generally. Talk up your town if you would have it do well. Talk up your town if vou would have others come to you. talk up your town as 11 you were interested in it, and would have its people"feel an interest in you. There is no other way to do it. Many a time one little worn of unpleasant reference to something that mav not exactly suit you or particularly con cern yo'u, as to that matter, will turn a good man's inlhience away from your town and will even drive him away. Then at your fireside talk up your town. Among your neighbors talk up your town and plan for its improve ment. When you come in contact with strangers talk up your town, and let the world know that you think your town is the town par ex cellence of all towns. The great Modder River light, where blood flowed like the waters of the stream and death sat on its reedy banks, again reminds proud Kugland of the mighty burden she has taken us in subverting the Transvaal. The Boers are not righting for lucre it is doubtful whether they are paid more than a daily allowance of powder and ball and two lunches of hardtack. Their homes and the comfort of those who keep the hearth warm while they are away at work in the lields this is the stake. When men shoulder arms for such principle, they are to be feared. No wonder the Highland ers shrank appalled from the storm of bullets at Modder River. How mighty soever her equipment, how numberless soever her warriors, we venture to remark that Britain will learn before the Boers stack arms and hold their necks for the yoke, that the demon that raged at Modder River will break loose on many a bloody field, teaching imperious Kng- land that though the right may fall with such overwhelming odds against it as herself has arrayed against the little South African republics, the principle will be in gory evidence be fore yielding.

THE GRADED SCHOOL. Prof. Alderman Givesa few Interest ins Items About the Institution of Which we Are all so Proud. Kpitok Gout Leaf: The good people fif Henderson have Hhovvn hucIi an inter est in the Graded School they mav bp interested in some items from the work. We opened on tho 30th of October with about 2G5 pupils present. During the tirst month we enrolled 140 males, and 157 females, making a total of 297. The number in each grade was: First grade, Go, second oO, third 42, fourth 39, fifth 44, sixth "2h, and seventh and eighth combined 31. Notwithstanding the prevalence of measles and other conta gious troubles, the average daily attend ance for the first month was 240. We undertook to make the vaccination list complete. Dr. V. R. Harris and Dr. Goode Cheatham examined and we re corded all successful vaccinations in a book kept for the purpose. The vaccina tion list is nearly complete and we hope all will comply so that they may not be under the necessity of being questioned hereafter. Dr. Harris and all the other physicians in town have been very kind in helping the Superintendent look after the health regulations. There are very few in school now who have not had measles. Let the children return to school as soon as the.v may safely do so. We nppreprecinte the friendly visits of parents und those interested in the school, and we hope they will feel free to come at any time. Several members of School Hoard have shown their appreciation by their visits to the school. Mr. W. E. Gary always brings .sunshine and a pleasant word for the teachers. Such visits are reassuring and helpful to the anxious teacher. The public will never kuow to what ex tent they are indebted to Mr. J. L. Cur rin for his untiring zeal in behalf of the school. The midnight hour often finds him with tools and workmen hard at work arranging for the comfort of the pupils and teachers. The school is running smoothly. The teachers are enthusiastic and faithful. Let the people rally to them and give them hearty support. They are human mid need encouragement and kind words With hearts overflowing with anxiety and earnest purpose for the right they are toiling for the best interest of the childreu. No teachers have ever been more devoted and faithful. The pupils are genteel in their deport ment. They yield readily to the school regulations and show a pride in their work. We are striving to encourage a healthful emulation among them and we earnestly hope this may tind a cheerful renponse iu the hearts of the people. Our Normal Class meets every Wednes day at 3 P. M. in the office, and remains one hour. We are now studying Hughes' Mistakes in Teaching. All white teachers and those preparing to teach or interest ed in teaching are invited to meet with us and join the claf-s free of cost. J. T. ALDERMAN, Dec. 12, 1899.

Twenty-five Years' Constant Use Without a Failure. The fird indention of croup is hoarse ness, and in a child subject to that disease it mav be taken as a sure sign of the ap proach of an attack. Following this hoarse ness is a peculiar rough cough, if Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in ruanv thousands of homes in this broad land and never dis appoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instaneem winch it has not proved effectual. No other prepara tion ran shew such a. record twenty-five years' constant use without a failure. For sale bv The Dorsev Drug C ).

The little patient on inhaling the fumes will cough up and spit out all the membranous matter, and the diph theria will pass out.
