Their goods are right, their prices are right and they will treat you right every time Sergeant W. K. Green returned from the Louisville Keuuion Sunday. He avs he had a big time and but for the rainy weather everything passed otT very pleasantly. It was a great sneeess as it was a great crowd of old soldiers and others being present. Mr. Green went'over to Indianapolis and says the people there were as clever in their treatment of an old Confederate soldier as anv place he visited. Mr. C H. Paylor, who has been here the past few weeks in the interest of the National Union (fraternal benefit onter). left to-dav for his home in Siuithticld to six-nd a few davs. He will return the tirst of next week to finish up his work here. Mr. Paylor is a clever and agreeable gentleman and during his brief stay in Hender son he has made many friends who would welcome his return as a per manent citizen of our town. Another Home Saddened. Another home has been saddened by a visitation from the death angel. Saturday Earl Hartwell, the little six months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Gill, died. Death is sad to whomsoever it comes, but when it takes away the tirst born and only child the light and idol of the home it is doubly so. To these bereaved young parents the hearts of the com munity go out in tenderest svmpathy.

Brown, a railroad map of North Carolina for 1900, ex- i mined aud authorized by the North Carolina Corporation Commissioners. I'he work was prepared bvMr. ISrown, clerk to the Commission, and is a val uable and useful document. A table showing the mileage and terminals, with names of roads, is of special in terest and information. From it we gather the following facts, as to the railroad mileage in North Carolina: l'he Atlantic Coast Line system, 939.- 91; Southern Railway. 1,224.48; Sea board Air Line Hallway, bl9.90; Mis cellaneous roads, 842.92; grand total, 3,026.21.

We have heard of many ways of stealing but Mr. James ii. iassuer, Jr., tells us of a case that caps the climax. For some time his cow. which is grazed about town by a small negro boy, has varied in her milk. Some times she would give as much as usual and at other times almost none. A few days ago he learned the cause, lne ooy was seen to take the cow by his mother's house a bp was briup-ine' her in. While there she was milked about half dry and as a result the supply of the lacteal fluid came up short at air. Lassiter's that night. He got after the boy about it. told him what he knew and threatened him with corporal punishment but the diminutive son of Ham pleaded pitifully and promised not to be a-uiltv of the same trick again. And he won't as far as Mr. Lassiter's cow is concerned. Another boy now walks at the other end of his cow chain. VISIT TO COUNTY HOME. Something About the Inmates and Things as They Were Found Upon Personal Inspection. In company with Dr. Goode Cheat bam, County Health Officer, the editor visited the County Home Sun day morning. We went out early be fore visitors were expected, and yet we did not find things in a bad sani tary condition. True the houses are not kept like hospital wards nor are they as inviting as the average private residence. But considering the class to be dealt with, the condition of some of the inmates, it would be difficult to have them so. Dr. Cheatham explained to us the nature of some of the cases, the char acter of which it is not necessarv to go into details about, and concerning which it seems most complaint had been made. But as the situation ap peared to us, considering things as we found them, we could readily un derstand and appreciate what has to be contended with and the difficulty of keeping the persons and premises of these subjects as cleanly and odor less as the others. The Health Officer makes it a point to visit the Home about twice a week. In case of sickness he goes oftener. One of the County Commissioners at least is there every week, frequently two or all three. And once a month they make it a point to go out in a body, lhese visits are made unex pectedly to the Superintendent and it cannot be said that he makes any special preparation for the reception of his official "guests."' There are 14 inmates of the Home, i white and 9 colored. Of thi3 num ber 2 are white women and 4 are colored women. They are kindly treated and as well cared for as the paupers of any county we suppose. That is the testimony of Health Of ficers and Superintendents of similar institutions and others-qualified to ex press an intelligent opinon who have visited the place. The food is the same as that of the Superintendent's family and is prepared under the per sonal supervision of Mrs. Moss her self. - Death of a Little Child. Friends of Mr. aud Mrs. E. W. Wat kins sympathize with them in the death of their infant daughter Kath erine Temple, aged about two and one-half years, which occurred Satur day morning after a short illness. Little Katherine was a sweet child, bright and affectionate, and her death will cause sorrow and bring tears to the eyes of those who loved her. She will be sadly missed in the home here which she blessed and brightened for so brief a season, but. in the horue on high she will know neither sorrow nor tears. The funeral was held from the res idence at o o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. D. Hufham, D. D., conducting the service. The little white casket was borne to the cemetery where the irecious form was laid to rest be neath a bed of beautiful ilowers. . - . . Humphreys' Specifics th Europe.

The North Carolina Rolling Exposition. Another opportunity is to be given our people to visit and inspect the North Carolina Rolling Exposition. I he beautiful car "the City of Char lotte," will be in Henderson today and tomorrow, June 7th and 8th. The car itself is one of the finest ever turned out, while the interior resem bles a State Fair in miniature so com plete is the exhibit of the State's re sources. A former visit of "The City of Charlotte" is recalled with pleas ure. Those who saw the exhibit at that time know its worth as being both instructive and entertaining. Hie collection has been added to anil im proved upon and is now even better thau it was originally creditable as it was then. A visit to the car and in- I spection of the resources of the State therein displayed will well repay you. An admission fee of 10 cents, to defray expenses, will be charged. . . . Tax Levy Reduced. That the affairs of Vance county have been well and economically managed the reduction of the tax levy for 1900 abundantly shows. In the joint meeting of the Board of Justices and the Board of County Commis sioners Monday Chairman Amos stated the condition of the county's affairs and said a levy of 60 cents on the flOO worth of property would yield sufficient revenue for all neces sarv purposes, together with that derived from other sources, poll, pur chase, privilege taxes, etc. The Com missioners therefore recommended that the levy be reduced from 63 to 60 cents, which was done. Could better evidence that oui county matters have been run well and systematically, carefully and economically be asked for. Ail honor and praise to the gentlemen to whose business tact and judgment, good financiering and administrative abil ity this condition of things is due. FAMOUS FAST FLYERS. The Handsome New Trains of the Sea board Air Line Railway. Fast livers, already distined to be come famous, is the magnificent throiiyh train service of the Seaboard Air Line Railway over its own tracks from Richmond " to Jacksonville and Tanrna. The new schedule was inaugurated Sunday when the first train of what is known as the "Florida Limited, between New York and Jacksonville, passed through. The new trains are marvels of comfort and elegance The cars are painted a dark olive with gilt trimmings, and are of the full box vestibule style. A smoking room is at one end and a toilet room &t the other. The seats are hish-back. handsomely upholstered and very comfortable. They are lighted with Pintsch sras. and are fitted with every convenience requisite to comfort and pleasure in traveling. The sleepers fthrnnorh between New York and Jacksonville without change) are the latest product oi tne ruiiman snops, and are ventaoie paiaces on wneeis. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of A DASTARDLY DEED. Mr. John Bullock a Second Time the Victim of the Incendiary's Torch. Readers of the Gold Leak will re call that some weeks ago the resi dence of Mr. John Bullock, of Bullock. Granville county, was burned. The occupants of the house escaped in their sleeping garments, some mem bers of the family barely getting out with their lives. Nothing was saved not even the clothing that was worn the day before. That the burning was of incendiary origin there were unmistakable evidences, but no clue could be found. Mr. Bullock litted up his carriage house for living purposes temporarily and he had been sleeping there since, his family staying elsewhere in the neighborhood. Last Thursday night an attempt was made to burn this and it was evidently the purpose of the scoundrel or scoundrels to burn Mr. Bullock up in it. By means of a ladder kerosene oil was poured on the top and sides of the house, the door was fastened from the outside by placing a stout plank against it the other end resting on the ground, and then it was set lire to. The heat and crackling of the flames caused Mr. Bullock to awake. He un locked the door and tried to open it but found it fastened on the outside. Escape from the window was impos sible, that part of the house being on lire. Again the door was tried and taking up some implement Mr. Bul lock began to pound heavily upon it. The plank being rather long was dis lodged and the door opened. Thus was escape made from impending death, and none too soon. Mr. Bullock has no idea who the perpetrator of either crime was. He has had no difficulty with any body we understand and does not know why he has twice been made the vic tim of the incendiary's torch in this manner. It is difficult to conceive of a more distardly deed than setting lire to a house with sleeping persons in it and it is to be devoutly hoped that the guilty ones may be appre hended. .

Mr. T. A. Bark, Mecklenburg coun ty, Va., tells us of a man who went to his house lately to stay all night ami the trick he played on him aud others. the man represented himself to be in the employment of a Philadelphia mining company looking for certain minerals in that part of the country. He spent the night and next morn ing insisted on leaving very early to meet an important engagement but before doing so he donned a suit of clothes belonging to Mr. Park's son, putting on his own ones over them. as was discovered afterward. He beat an old negro woman in the neighborhood out of 25.00 claiming that for $50.00 he would get her son out of the Virginia penitentiary. As $25.00 was all she could raise he took that saying he would trust her for the balance. Of course it was a clear case of swindle and the fellow himself ought to be in the pen. J he man appeared to be about 50 years old, dark complexion, square built, height about o feet 10 inches, weight probably 180 pounds Black hair and mustache. Be on the look for him. He may undertake to "work" thus in other communities. - If troubled with rheumatism. gie Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial. It will not cost vim a cent if it does no good.

The Warren-Vance senatorial con vention was held in the court house here Saturda)'. Warren sent no dele gation but it was understood that she would endorse the action of Vance the right to name a candidate being conceded to us. Still, it would have pleased us better if our friends across the border had manifested a little more interest iu the matter. It is all right for them to endorse our man (and they will do it at the polls) but we wanted them to come up anil help us "holler" for him after we'd named him. Mr. J. E. Burroughs, of Dabney, was nominated. A good man for whom every good man should have pleasure in voting. Mr. Burroughs represented Granville county in the Legislature of 1880, when the immor tal Vance was elected United States Senator, and one of the proudest acts of his life is the vote he cast for that greatly beloved son of Carolina. lie was a" Magistrate for 18 years and has also served as County Commis sioner. At the age of 16 he volun teered as a private in the Confederate army going out with Capt. Samuel J. Parham's company from Henderson, which was assigned to duty in the 54th Regiment. After a short service Mr. Burroughs received an honorable discharge on account of the poor state of his health. Mr. Burroughs' people came from Warren county and he has a number of relatives in that county. He is a man of good judgment, of liberal views, cautious and conservative and in the discharge of every public duty he has been actuated by a singular de?ire to serve the public good.

Old Board Re-Elected With Two Ad ditional Members Good Men all of Them Who Will Discharge Their Duties Weil and Faithfully. The Justices of the Peace did a good day's work Monday. Before the meet ing of the full Board of Justices the Democratic members held a caucus ana made nominations. The tirst action was to endorse the old Board of County Commissioners, James Amos, chairman, John A. Fleming and Patrick A. Bobbitt. and nominate them for re-election. Having done this it was decided to elect two ad ditional members and balloting re sulted in the selection of Hayden W. Crews and Henry T. Shanks. It would be difficult to have the county better represented geographically, and as to the jersonnel of the Board that would be hard to improve upon. They are all good men who will dis charge their duties well and faith fully. Capt. J. M. B. Hunt was chairman of the caucus meeting and R. J. Cor bett secretary. The action of the Board of Justices, sitting as a committee of the whole a short while later, was merely a rati fication of what the caucus had done. Populists and Reoublicans took little or no part in the matter, but few of mem voting, several ropuiists said to us that while they favored the old Board they were opposed to the ad ditional members, therefore thev could not vote ou the motion as it was put. However, tinding themselves in a minority and not desiring to create friction they offered no opposi tion. The Democrats had only done what they would have done "under like circumstances, elected their own men. It was a very harmonious meeting throughout and the work was soon over with. W. A. Hunt was elected chairman, K. W. Edwards, Register of Deeds and Clerk to the Board, being secretary by virtue of his office. A BURIED BY WHITE PEOPLE. Another Instance of Who are the Ne groes' Real Friends. A respectable colored man named John Young died in Oxford last week, ami because he always stood with the white people for good government and voted the Democratic ticket the negroes would not bury him. This fact becoming known to them some of the white citizens of the town took the matter in hand, procured a coffin and gave the dead man, black and hum ble though he was, decent and becom ing burial. The Oxford Public Ledger says: The majority of the funeral cortege was composed of our best white citizens, with a few colored among the number. We regret to learn that the niuioritvof the colored race refused to assist iu his burial because John Younji; always voted the Democratic ticket, but white friends did. and consigned his remains to the tomb in a solemn and impressive man ner, assisted by about twelve good col ored men. Lady friends of the deceased furnished Ilowers which covered the casket and were placed on the grave of u brave colored man w ho dared to do what he believed was right. Littleton Female College Commence ment. One of the greatest commencements the college has ever had has just closed. The elocution recital on Tuesday evening was very fine. lhe annual sermon on vednesday morning bv Dr. W. W. Bays on "The Suffering of Christ and the Redemp tion ot Woman was one of surpass ing eloquence and marvelous beauty. We do not remember ever to have heard anything equal it at any former college commencement. The address by Dr. Bumpass on Wednesday evening before the Mis sionary Society made a line impres siou. It was not only chaste and scholarly but highly instructive. The graduating essays on Thursday morning were unusually fine, and the pleasing and attractive manner in which thev were delivered is spoken of by every one. They were in real ity among the best we have ever heard. The literary address by Dr. S. A. Steele was much enjoyed. He is known throughout the South to be a very line platform speaker. The annual concert Thursday even ing was bv every token a great sue cess. Those who took part acquitted themselves in such a way as to rellect credit on their instructors and on the Institution. President Rhodes reported the most successful year and by very much the largest attendance in the history of the Institution. The friends of Littleton Female College rejoice in the fact that her prospects were never brighter than at this time and they arc justly proud of the good work she is doing.

THE SEABOARD'S INAUGURAL The Trip of the Special Trains-How the Seaboard Has Shortened the Distance. Mr. I. I. Avery, of the Charlotte Observer, in a special to his paper from Columbia, S. C, under date of May 30th, says: Traveling over a perfectly complet ed railroad line from Richmond to Tampa, two rapidly moving through trains evince the establishment of the Greater Seaboard, result of Southern enterprise and capital, and destined to be one of the most important fac tors in the development of the South. Excepting the resemblance to a triumphal procession to-day's journey has been without especial incident. At all stations enthusiastic crowds gathered and cheered the South-bound party. At Henderson, D. Y. Cooper presented to the President and Vice President letters from the Town Com missioners and Chamber of Commerce, congratulating them upon the com pletion of the Greater Seaboard and predicting its prosperity. Subsequent ly these officers wired expressions of thanks and appreciation. The guests were greatly interested in the con tents of freight cars at Henderson, which, showed that through Seaboard solid car shipments of tobacco are continually on the move to Manila, Delagoa Bay, Calcutta, Bombay, South Australia, Cape Town and many other foreign ports. The terminals at Ridgeway and Hamlet were in spected with iuterest. A large force is busy rebuilding and improving the yards at Hamlet. At all other points there are signs of successful railroad and industrial activity.
