I The Gold Leaf, HENDERSON, N. C. THURSDAY. JULY 5. 1UOO. Seaboard Extension. (Norfolk Virginian-Pilot ) Now that tbe Seaboard Air Line has completed its line between New York and Tampa, it is said among those who profess to know that they will direct their attention of the East and West road of Alabama, whieh runs from Cartersville, (Ja., to Pell City, Ala., almost into liirmingham. It lias been announced time and again that the Seaboard had secured this property and would use it in their plans of reaching Birmingham, ft i known that the engineering corp3 are bard at work on the Chattanooga and Augusta, and have finished their work up to Athens, fJa., and will no doubt soon be in Chattanooga. "This will be the next step the Sea board will take, and then it is said that the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis will be absorbed by the im mense capital behind the Seaboard, thus giving them a terminal in Kan sas City, via Memphis." The "above is from the Atlanta Journal, a paper that keeps well posted on Southeren railroads. The Seaboard Air Lino .seems de termined to reach the Birmingham coal and iron district, and when that is accomplised shipments of tbe pro ducts of the Alabama mines may be expected to start in this direction. Pig iron and steel from the Birming ham district is going to Kurope in great quantities now, and there is no reason it should not come via Norfolk. Does This Alean You? Don't be a croaker. Don't imitate the fro. Don't be a kicker. It will do no good. Hu the contrary, fault finding and complaining do a great deal of harm. If you cannot say anything pleasant or checful about business matters or your neighbors don't, speak - think: take it out in thinking, and of something else. Then: is no necessity for you to be going around grumbling and bemoan ing like vmi were a lit subject to head a funeral. Do something! Talk up Voiir town. Then see what a dilTerent atmosphere you will breathe. (Jet out of the .shade into the sunshine and drv oil' the mildew. Don't be tombstones for a grave yard. Frank fort Tinas. It is a shame and disgrace in the white race for demagogues with white skins to get up before intelligent white people ami say, as many Re publican leaders are doing, that after the amendment is adopted negro chil dren will learn to read ami write and white children will not. They thus relied upon and discredit the race of men who ha ve coiej uered and civilized the world and rule it to-day, by vir tually saying the children id white parents an: unable to cope with the children of negro parents in the race for the development of their brains. It is an unpardonable and inexcusable slander upon white people. Clinton Ihvtoernt. A Labor for Love. The Opelika. (Ala.,) I'osl of the Sth contains the following: "General .lames II. Lane has just sent to the I'niversity I'uplishingcom pany the last of his large colled ion of likenesses of olliccrs and men taken during the war in Confederate uni form, to illustrate his "sketch" of the Twentieth North Carolina, which was his old regiment. The "Sketch" was written and the collection undertaken at the ropiest of Judge Walter Clark, of the supreme court of North Caro lina, who has been authorized to soli cit sketches of all the regiments fur nished by North Carolina to the Con federacy and have them puplished at the State's expense in two large hand somely bound volumes. "North Carolina is justly proud of her brave sons who were "First at Bethel and last at Appomattox." Du ring the war she had her own block ade runner the steamer "Advance" to bring in supplies for them while they were 'battling for the rights of the whole South. She also had her "Bolls of Honor" records of those brave sons which where verified twice a year by an ollieer sent to the front. Since tho war she has had these rolls published in four bound volumes and they are now known as "Moore's Hoster of North Carolina Troops." Other Southern States might profit by her example." Kvery man who embarks in busi ness has a choice between two desti nations obscurity or publicity. If he shall refuse to advertise few per sons will know of him. few will buy of him. and his business will sink into desuetude. On the other hand, if he shall advertise persistently and in good taste he will become widely known, and the number of his cus tomers will constantly increase. The wiser choice is obvious.

There are few persons who will not appreciate the graceful compliment paid that grizzly old warrior. General . Joseph Wheeler, in making him a j Brigadier-General in lue regular army, regardless of his imperialistic tendencies by which he doubtless in fluenced his commission. When the time came for fighting, he was first upon the field. When the time came for action, he was first in the front, and led the array of the United States to victory at El Caney, where the 71st New York Regiment lagged, wrapped in their own fright, and what grass could be found; and when General Shafter, the chief officer in command, was too far in the rear to know what was going on. General Wheeler, it will be remem bered, fought to the last, and resisted Shafter's idea of retiring. It was chiefly through hi influence and in spiration, as well as leadership, that Kl Caney fell. He has won his spurs in fighting for the United States, just as he won them lighting for the Confederacy. The Government has done well in recognizing his ability. Norfolk Vir ginian and Pilot. The Man Who Gets the Business. A somewhat poetical editor puts it thusly: "If you take your little whistle and lay aside your horn, there's not a man will ever know that such a man was born. The man who owns his acres is the man who plows all day, and he who keeps a planting is the man who makes it pay. Tbe man who advertises with a short and sudden jerk, is the man who blames the printer because it didn't work. The man who gets the busi ness uses brainy printer's ink, not a cutter and a splutter, but an ad that makes you think, and he who plans his advertisements as he plans his well bought stock, has the future to his business just as solid as a rock." "Why are they called pyramids, pa?" asked George, who was looking at a picture of these wonders o Egypt. "They are called pyramids, my son," replied the father without hesi tation, "because, you see, they ap pear amid the general desolation of t he desert ." A FORMER HENDERSON MAN. Hr. Walter R. Klvett In the Far West and Doing; Well. The following, which was taken from the Colorado Springs (Colo,) ' la-.dtc, will be rend with interest by many persons in Henderson. The paper was misplaced at the time ' which accounts for the delay in pub- lieation : i Ton citiziiM.f Colorado Springs has been uivcii an honor that has not hereto- fore been accorded a citizen of this State. The I'nited Sons of Confederate Veterans is an organization that has existed for many years. It numbers amougits mem bership some of the most prominent men in the South. The object of the organiza tion is entirely social, but (he members have done a great deal of good in the al leviation of suffering caused by the civil war. Mr. Brant II. Kirk, of Waco, Tex., is the present head of theTrans-Mississippi department of the Sous of the Confeder acy, as they are commonly called. He has the rank of lieutenant general. For some time it has been the desire of a great many people in Colorado, who are sons of Confederate veterans, to belong to this organization, but there has never been one u hocould devote the time neces sary for theorganization of a local camp. Mr. YV. R. Ivivett of this city has, how ever, agreed to take up the work and he has been appointed a major general in thu order, and placed in command of the department of Colorado. The following notice, whieh has beeu sent out by Mr. Ivivett is self explana tory and shows the manner in which he is going about the work. Duringthe war, his father served in a North Carolina reg iment under General Joe Wheeler. XoTICK TO ONFKDKItATi: VETEUAXS. Sons and Daughters of the Same: "Having been appointed major general of this department in Colorado, by Lieu tenant General Brant H. Kirk, of Texas, commanding the Trans-Mississippi de partment, Sons of Confederate Soldiers, I wish the name and address promptly of every veteran in the State of Colorado, also the sons and daughters of the same. It is desired by General Kirk that we or ganize at least one camp in Colorado promptly in order to send a delegate to the annual reunion at Louisville, Ky., May 30th to June 4th. It is also desired that a sponsor (the daughter of a Con federate soldier) be appointed to attend the reunion in behalf of this State. "The object of this organization is strictly historical and benevolent (social may be a feature if desired) to aid aud assist the aged Confederate veterans and their widows, and cultivate ties of friend ship that should exist among those whose ancestors have shared common dangers, sufferings and privations for a common cause, which they believed to be right and to instill into their descend ants a proper veneration for the spirit and glory of their fathers and to bring them into an association as above stated for historical, benevolent and social pur poses. 1 will esteem it a favor to have auy and all veterans or their descend ants to write or call on me at my office.

THEY STRUCK July 4, 1770, is a day to date from in the history of human progress in spite of the faft that the experiment in free government inaugurated that day was not a new thing among enlightened people. The example of ancient Athens might be eiilh-d exceptional, but in the heart of Europe tho Dutch republic existed for more than two centuries with rapacious monarch all around the b-jrder and its own people divided as to the true seat of politk'nl sovereignty, whether in divine right or human. And for nearly GOO years the Swiss have maintained a republic agaiimt princely greed and the weakness of human nature. The birth of true democracy in Athens was in the time of Solon. It was not won by fighting, but was afterward saved by the sword, especially at Marathon and I'latea. Pericles, the shining light of Greece, established de mocracy in Athens by the over throw of the aristocracy and aft erward in the states which uii.t: d with Athens in the period of her greatness. Under hi:- inllsence and with a system of popular gov ernment wars wore fought sm--cessfullv. the arts and science-; 1 flourished, and Iwc pie shared fully prosperity. The first great victory of the Swiss patriots was won at Mor garten, Nov. 1(5, 1315. That day 1.400 mountaineers defeated 2- WAdHlOTON'. 000 Austrians aud a league of four forest cantons formed a perpetual confedera cy, celebiatitg Morgarten day as an anniversary. Later four other cantons unit ed, and the confederacy fought for liberty against the Austrians at Scnipaeh in 1,3S and Glarus iu 1388. Xapoleon robbed the Swiss of their liberty, but after Lis fall the old free can tons, with new allies, adopted a constitution, whieh was ratified Aug. 7, 1815. tho birthday of the present republic. The anniversary which the whole English speaking race has cause to re member is Magna Charta day, June 15. On that day. 1 21 . the key to English liberties was wrung from King John by the nobility and the landholders. The upiisina was due to the king's unparalleled cruelty, rapacity and m government. After granting the great charter he attempted to subdue the patriot party, but died while taking the field with a vast army. France was in turmoil at the time of the American Revolution. In 1774 the people demanded of Louis XVI an equable taxation, freedom of trade and manu factures and the abolition of jobbery and sinecures. The ancient state legisla ture, called the states general, which had been extinct J(H) years, was convoked and met May 1, 17W. The mandate of this body, in whieh the third estate, or common people, were all powerful, was for revolution. Lafayette commanded the national guard until he was exiled by the extremists. The battle which es tablished the constitution was fought at Almy Sept. 2, 1702. Sympathy with the French revolution cost the people of the Dutch republic their own freedom, for Xapob-on imposed the monarchy there once he was in powc-. the Dutch broke loose from Spain by revolution, anil the republic twice defeated England. John of Barueveldt was the hero of the Xethoj-lands. He favored a legislature superior to the exec utive, or stadtholder, and was martyred for his principles. The American and French rev olutions had given such hu impe tus to aspirations ' that the ancient monarchies form ed the Holy Alliance to suppress liberty. The revolution in Spain in 1820. which spread to Portugal and Italy, was suppressed by the alliance, but Spain lost her Amer ican colonies in the struggle In spired by Kosciusko, who had fought under Washington, the Poles invoked the sword in the KOSSUTH. name of liberty in 1791. The struggle was a long one, and the fate of Poland was linally sealed by the alliance of Prussia and Austria with Russia. The French alone came out of the widespread revolution of 1848 with triumph. In Italy the patriots fought and lost. Hungary, which declared its ln dpendence of Austria April 24, 1840, fought bravely under Kossuth, but Itussia joined her ancient ally in suppressing the patriots. In Germany the revolution was quickly suppressed. Ireland's greatest rebellion was that of May, 1708, when the United Irish men compelled England to send immense armies to the field. That of 1803 was abortive, and young Robert Emmet died on the scaffold. Mexico aud Chile took advantage of Napoleon's usurpation of Spanish pow er iu 1810 to rebel. Mexico was reconquered, but after many revolutions against dictators and foreign powers the present republic was established in 1867. The sword of General San Mar tin, the deliverer of Chile, helped also to give Peru her independ ence July 28, 1821. Cuba, the the last of Spain's American col onies to throw off the yoke, enter ed upon a ten years' struggle April 10, 1S60. started Feb. 24, Among the scores erated by the republicans of South America that of Bolivar stand highest as a fiirhtinir ehammon of HOSC1CBKO. liberty. ITe fought for and ruled over Veuezuela and Peru, founded the republic of Bolivia out of northern Peru and was presideut of the republic of Colombia, which included Veuecuela and Granada, the last named one of his conquests. England's declaration that the independence of the South African republics shall be destroyed g.ves the world a spectacle without a parallel in the history of struggles for liberty. The Boers hive ben free for two generations, with the ex ception of four years, between 1877 and 1881, when the Transvaal was annewd by England. The Orange Free Stmte bvcame a republic in 1854 by the voluntary action of England, but the Transvaal won its independence by fighting tt Laing nek and Majuba Hill in 1SS1 under a revolutionary declaration made Dec 16, 1880. This date wan the annivertary of DIngaan's daag, long celebrated as the original independence day of the Boers. Paul Kruger, Pretorins and Pfet Jou bert conducted the government as a triumvirate until peace was established. Then Kruger was elected president. "If a newspaper man knew how many knocks he received behind his back, he would adopt another call ing," remarked a citizen the other day. The citizen was mistaken. The newspaper man who succeeds ex pects to be maligned by every law breaker, swindler and hypocrite, every carping critic and lover of notoriety who is ignored, and, in fact, by all persons who do not agree with him on public and political questions. The newspaper man who expects to go through life without being misrep resented aud unjustly censured, should make arrangements to die young. Waterloo Observer.
