A negro woman and boy are accused of the crime and have been arrested. It is said the evidence is very stror-g against them, the boy having poured kerosene oil on the house and lighted a match to it being instigated by the woman.

CLOSING EXERCISES LAST THURSDAY A Most Creditable and Interesting Event The Declamations Much Above the Average oii Such Occa sionsLarge Crowd Present Good fluslc and a Fine Address by ilr. Jenkins. An institution of which the good people of the Epsom neighborhood are proud is the Epsom High School. And they have cause to be for it is an institution which challenges the highest admiration and deserves the most liberal support. Prof. W. T. Allen is principal, and Miss Annie Abernethy is assistant, with other help, and more capable, careful, thor ough, conscientious teachers can not be found. This school has done a good work for that community and its usefulness and influence is far reaching and widespread. It was the editor's privilege and pleasure to attend the closing exer cises last Thursday. The ceremonies in the afternoon consisted of decla mations by the advanced scholars and delivering the medal to the successful contestant. Following was the pro gram: Los of the Arctic Walter J. Alston. Jamie Vann Duke. Lasca Km ma Alston. Conflagration of an Amphitheater James Howard Goodson. How Kate Shelly Crossed the Htidge Susie Green. Asleep at the Switch Ransom Duke. The black Horse and his Rider Arthur A. Medlin. Our Country, Past and Present Willie Ayscue. Old Sue B. Perry Alston. The speaking was of a high order, much above the average, and im pressed the large audience present most favorably. There was not an inferior number on the program while some of them were exceptionally good. The contest was very close between Miss Vaun Duke and Willie Ayscue, while Ransom Duke and Arthur Medlin acquitted themselves very creditably. Miss Duke was clear ly the winner until Mr. Ayscue, who was the last speaker among the list of contestants, appeared upon the scene. And although he was declared the victor it was by a narrow margin, and but for the fact that he had the advan tage in age, experience and a better subject the result would have been different. Sentiment gave it to the young man but sympathy was with the young lady. Hon. " W. H. P. Jenkins, E. A. Powell and Thad li. Manning were the judges. It was a dillicult and delicate task they were called upon to perform and the regret was that there were not two prizes instead of one to be competed for. In announcing the decision Mr. Jenkins, who has had large experience in such matters, stated the situation as the judges had found it and said that in their opinion Miss Duke was not only entitled to honorable mention, but she deserved a medal also, and a medal will be given her. It is but proper to state that B. Perry Alston, who won the medal last year, did not contest for it this time. He spoke, however, and spoke well. Thad R. Manning presented the medal to the successful contestant. The next feature on the program was the literary address by Hon. W. H. P. Jenkins, but on account of the threatening weather Prof. Allen an nounced that this would be deferred until the evening exercises. At 8:30 o'clock the following pro gram was rendered the exercises be ing of a more varied and interesting character the gem of the whole thing: Choi us High School March Veatie. Our Girls' March Paul Joneg Vann and Earl Duke. Mollie Vann Duke. Busy Bees Class. Cousin Sally Dillard Arthur Medlin and others. Blue Bells Primary Class. The District School Myrtle Weldon and others. The Catholic Psalm-Earl Duke. Xo Cure-No Pay Nora Ayscue and others. Sunday Fishiu' Willie Daniel. Chicky-My-Craiuy-Crow Ransom Duke ana ousie tureen. Joau de Arc's Defense Rowena Daniel. The Kazoo Band Class. Doan Ye Cry Ma Honey. Where all were so good perhaps we should not particularize but it is not too much to say that Miss Duke did even better than in the afternoon, while Ransom Duke and Susie Green were very meritorious in their parts this being one of the best features on the program. Rowena Daniel quite distinguished herself and the opinion was expressed that if she had competed for the medal and done as well in the afternoon she whould have got it. Willie Daniel was also good, as in fact all of them were. There was a large crowd present and the exercises were greatly en joyed. Mr. Jenkins delivered a splen did address full of beautiful thoughts beautifully expressed, abounding in good sense, sonnd logic, true philos ophy, wholesome advice such as he is capable of, quite characteristic, and entirely creditable to him. Some oil paintings by Master Ran som Duke, 12 or 14 years of age, son of Mr. Simon Duke, were much ad mired and highly praised. They stamp him almost a prodigy with the palette and brush. There was a perfect blending of colors, delicacy of shading, harmonious effect, accu racy of detail, correct expression and trueness to nature born of genius, and which marked the master artist in embryo. Master Duke's work speaks well Dot only for a bright and apt pupil but for the skill and ability of his teacher Miss Abernethy. The Gold Leaf predicts for this young son of Yance a brilliaut and successful future as an artist, if in deed fame and fortune do not await him, provided the opportunity be af forded to cultivate his taste and de velop his talent as it should be. The music was an enjoyable fea ture. We have not heard better from the same number and class of instru ments. And it was all home talent too, Nat Mitchell, piano; Bob New ton, violin; D. H. Dickie, guitar: Ol lie Newton, guitar. It was a real pleasure that we en joyed in meeting and mingling with the good people of the Epsom neigh borhood, than whom no county boasts of better citizens, and the time spent with them was of all too short dura tion. An Epidemic of Whooping Cough. Last winter during an epidemic of whooping cough my children contracted the disease, haviDg servere coughing; spells. We had used Ibamberlains Cough Remedy very successfully for croup and naturally turned to it at that time and found it relieved the cough and ef fected a complete cure. John E. Clif fobd, Proprietor Norwood House, Nor wood, N. Y. This remedy is for sale by The Powy Drug Co. Keep Correct Tim?. There is no excuse for not keeping correct time. If you have a watch you can get the time of those enter prising jewelers, Hight & Co. If you have none then you can get both watch and time of them. And both will be reliable too, for they deal in nothing that is not. Messrs. Hight & Co. have just put in their store a 6 J Heat Synchonizing Self-winding Clock, which furnishes time from the United States Observa tory by the Western Union Telegraph Co. This time service is for the bene fit of railroad men and the public generally. . . The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who hashadan attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction isdetnoniac euough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi mony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by The Dorsey Drug Co. Col. Burgwyn to be the Orator. Col.

Complaint is made to the Gold Leaf of the bad condition of things, from a sanitary standpoint, out at the Home for the Aged and Infirm. We have it from persons who were there Sunday that it is well nigh in tolerable. Filth abounds and the in mates present anything but a cleanly appearance either in their persons or clothing. And this too within a few days after the grand jury hid visited the Home, made a favorable report upon same and were discharged with the thanks of the Court for faithful performance of their duty. It seems incredible that the stories coming to us can be true and yet we feel it our duty to call attention to the matter that it may be looked into. Death of a Good Citizen. Mr. F. A. Buun, a worthy citizen of the county, died at his home a few miles South of Henderson at 11 o'clock Thursday night. A short while before he fell from a house and sustained a serious injury. Blood poison followed with fatal result. Mr. IJunn was to have been married on the 6th of June and invitations had been issued. Arch Bonn was an honest, hardworking man and a good citizen who had the contidence and esteem of those who knew him. He had a nice home and it was in the beautifying and improvement of this that he sustaiued the injury which cost him his life. His death is very sad under the peculiar and distressing circumstances attending it and to that one who sits in the shadow of a great sorrow as well as the im mediate members of his family the tenderest sympathies of the com munity are extended. . - - . Dr. Hufham Will Remalm. It will be gratifying information to the friends and admirers of Dr. Huf ham to know that he is to remain in Henderson. At the Baptist church Sunday morning this annouueement was formally made. Dr. Hufham's resignation, tendered some time ago, was not accepted. He was asked to reconsider and withdraw his res ignation and since his health has improved he has done so. It was only on account of Dr. Hufham's en feebled condition at the time that his resignation was offered. Jle felt it his duty to his people, under the cir cumstances, to take this action, but they regarded the matter differently. In withdrawing his resignation Dr. Hufham asked that his salary be re duced, suggesting a cut of $300 a year, which he said would enable the congregation to give more for other objects. The Goli Leaf is especially grati fied at Dr. Hufham's improved condi tion of health and to know that he will continue his present charge. Long Uv6 the grand old man. Important to the Public.

The trouble is he is most too quick some times. 1 he other day we had occasion to send a telegram and calling up the Postal office the message was dictated through the phone. As the last word was repeated one of the printers call ed our attention to a matter which necessitated amending the order slightly. Calling to "Me" to hold a minute aud change the figures we were asked if we gave that message to be sent or expected it to be held in the office here. When we made reply he said that was what he had done aud the message was given the ope rator in Richmond in less than two minutes after it had been dictated to him. That was pretty quick work but that is the kind Manager McCraw and the Postal are noted for, and "put out" though we were we could but admire the way they have of doing things.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway Company is now operating through trains from Richmond. Va., to Tampa, Fla., over its own consolidated and completed tracks. The first through trains went over the line Wednesday. They consisted of two magnificent special trains of six coaches each, Pullman sleeping, drawing room and dining cars, bear ing a party of distinguished gentle men, ollicials of the road, stockhold ers, capitalists, newspaper represen tatives and others. The lirst train reached Henderson about 2 o'clock. A large crowd was at the station to see it. Attached to this was the private car of Mr. K. St. John, Vice-President and (ieneral Manager, who was aboard. The second train came about lo minutes later. On it was Mr. John Skelton Williams, President, to whose splendid liiianciering and admirable executive ability the financing and consolidation of the properties com posing the Greater Seaboard System is mainly due. Beyond here they were joined by others, and the run of both trains was made through to Tampa via Ral eigh, Hamlet, Columbia, Savannah, Jacksonville. They will return Sat urday, the lirst train being due at Richmond at 4:30 p. m. Immediately before the arrival of the train, the last spike, completing the system of 2,000 miles of road, will be driven. This spike will be a golden one and Master John Skelton Williams, Jr., son of the president, will drive it to its place, using a silver hammer, ap propriately inscribed for the purpose. When the train arrives, the ollicers and directors of the system, together with their guests arriving with them from the South, and others who may be assembled to welcome the train, will proceed up Broad street to the Capitol Square, where appropriate ceremonies will take place under the auspices of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. Addresses by the Governor anil others will be delivered from the East portico of the State capitol, and after these ceremonies, carriages will be found in waiting to take the invited guests for a drive about the city.
