THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF TIIUKSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1000. The Gold Leaf. HENDERSON, N.C. THURSDAY, OCT. 11, 1JM)0. AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE. Webster's Weekly and Butler's Cau casian in League Against Simmons (Winito:i Journal.) 1 iif .iumt'il has hef-n iimIt 1 1 ini j.i cssioii that the Senatorial i-onte-t should ! witcil in a friendly spirit and within party lines. H'l.hnUr's 111 i l:h seems to have a dillVrent opinion. It supports General Carr, as i.s its rii'ht, hut it viciously assails Mr. Simmons and to support its 'halves puts Marion ISutler on the ,tanl an insult to cery Democrat in the State. It charges that in IVJt Mr. Simmons was not in favor of independent hi-iiK-tallism and had so stated in a debate with Marion Buthr. To sup port this charge, it copied Simmons' alleged utterances from an ex change." Simmons demanded to know what "exchange" was meant and Webster telegraphed him: The (ioldshoro (liiHiiisinn of October 21th, The t.'uura.iuu beinjj then published at (loldsboro and then, as now, edited by Butler. It needs not to be said that the al Icjn d notation was a mere distortion f what Simmons actually said. In the same editorial the MV. -av.s that while it-, editor attended the state convention in he could not retail that Simmons was conspic uous iu his oppoil ion to ( 'leveland's tinancial views.

A Ques tion of Much Importance, in View of the Adoption of the Constitu tional Amendment Liberal Aid from the State is Needed and Justly Expected. ( Correspondence Charlo'te Oom-i vim ) What will be done for the public school-'' This is a juestioti that is now abs.irbin the mind- of the edu cational leaders. Are the public schools to be turned up from bottom to top and remodeled upon a higher and a broader plane? Or are they to receive a -mall appropriation which will at best only continue the term a week or two longer, and continue the mi-cr.tble. make-shift existence? This fjue-tion is not only holding the attention of the leaders of education for the masses, but the masses are earnestly awakened upon the subject. Thev expect material aid from the next Legislature, because promised aid was a feature of the last cam paign. Many a vote for the amend ment and the Democratic ticket was polled upon this one promise: for al though the masses of the people were anxious to rid the State of nero rule, they would have been slow to have voted awav lhe constitutional right- of their children after HtOS. Various propositions have been in troduced in our Legislature from time to time: some of these have been en acted, but by far the greater number of them died in their incipience. It is only lo true that the legislative bodies an I theotfieials of North Caro lina have been too indifferent to the needs of the public schools. i rom year to year the institutions of higher education, have received magn ilicen t appropriations, while the appeals of education for the ma-se- have been entirely disregarded. Now it is not. for the purpo-c of tin: frincds of the public schools to wage war upon the higher in-l it utions. But it i- their ili-terniination that the great mas-es of our country school boys and school girls shall have aid and substantial aid from the next Legislature. Apart from the promises that have f J W IcQ I I ooo )y ELEGANT DESIGNS! P rices BARNES' been made it is time that more boys ami girls of our State should have the elements of an English education and if it be necessary to obtain this result, there be fewer boys with collegiate education furnished by the State. The most optimistic cannot excuse our imperfect country schools. They are simply inadequate to the demands now made for popular educational advantages. The people know that the schools arc imperfect. They are fully aware that the necessary amount of education cannot be obtained in them for their children, but they are relying upon the next legislature to take the public schools in hand and remould them. They expect the Leg islature to enact effective legislation for every phase of the system from the office of State superintendent do .vri to that of a country school com mitteeman. They expect better schools, not necessarily more schools, for it would be a calamity upon the people to have more of the same kind that they have already in many districts. The public schools must be taken out of local and family politics, for this is the one great source of inferior teachers, such as neighbors' sons and daughters teaching without the proper qualifications. The requirements must be made more rigid, and this rigidity must be far-reaching enough to secure better qualified teachers for the country public schools. The country schools especially need help, for it belongs to them to educate or not educate the majority of our voters. SPKNCKR J. CHAPLIN, Jr. Parkton, Kobeson Co., N. C. The world is full of microbes. The tramp is a parasite who eats the. bread of honest toil; the bore is a parasite who devours the time of the busy man; the gossip is a parasite that de stroys the happiness in many a home with words of sugar coated venom; the slanderer is a parasite that mur ders character; the hypocrite is a parasite that entraps the unweary with falsehood while wearing a mask of fairness.

An Impartial Analysis of the Contest Between Carr and Simmons. (Kpv P R.La w.'in Lunib.-it'jn Rd-'Son'an ) An impartial analysis shows that ' those who are preferring Carr to Sim mons for L'nited States Senator are obliged to admit that they are doing so upon. a sheer incident, to-wit: He has had riches to drop into his owner ship. It it not claimed so far as pub lished that he possesses sujerior legal ability, political acumen, speaking gifts, statesmanship, character, pub lic and private, devotion to the party or State, or generosity to the party or anything that is set to ameliorate the condition of all the people. As the claims for him are wrung solely as a battle cry upon his benefactions, it is clear that the chief argument for him is that wealth has fallen to him. The friends of Simmons make the undisputed claim that he has shown equal generosity, yea given more in proportion to his means, possesses superior legal, political and speaking ability, stands as high in moral and religious character, and has given more of his time and labor for the party. If the foregoing paragraphs are ac curate, it appears to the looker on in the contest, that if Simmons is beaten it will be on account of his greater poverty. Tin: education of the negro in the South has taken the wrong twist. There are too many colleges in which the hirher branches are taught and r- loo few industrial schools in which a man is taught to earn a living with . his hands. Still in industrial pur suits is worth more to the colored man just now than all the Latin and (ireek that can be piled into him. !

Carr's personal ' services not his money. He declined to serve because he said his wife and business asso ciates did not desire him to enter poli tics at that time. In 1898 the party secured the ser sonal services of Mr. Simmons. He is a poor man, dependent upon the in come from his profession as a lawyer for his support, but he readily gave up his business for more than a year and gave his entire time and talents to the party, besides paying at least one-seventh of his entire estate to the cause, and, with the aid of the Demo cratic workers, succeeded in redeem ing the State and in making white supremacy permanent. A woman may be blind to her own faults, but she is never deft to flattery. xWUKB) Carbuncles, which are more painful aud dangerous, come most frequently on the back of the neck, eating great holes in the flesh, exhaust the strength and often prove fatal. Boils are regarded by some people as blessings, and they patiently and uncomplainingly endure the pain and inconvenience under the mistaken idea that their health is being benefitted, that llu ir blood is too thick anyway, and this is Nature's plan of thinning it. The blood is not too rich or too thick, but is diseased is full of poison and unless relieved the entire system will suffer.
