In the selection of candidates for Town Commissioners the Gold Leaf has only one desire, and that is to see the best men nominated. There has never been a time in thff history of Henderson when the best s?rvice of the best men was so much needed as at this particular time. In order to assure this the question of who shall be Commissioners should be carefully considered and a strong, conservative body of practical busi ness men elected, men who have only the lest interests of the town at heart and who are willing to make a rea sonable sacrifice for the public good. Every voter should require of the man to 1 voted for that he shall be pledged to a faithful performance of his every municipal duty, with pur pose and aim for Good Government, which means the faithful execution of the laws which protect society; an honest, conservative and economical administration of the business affairs of Henderson; and the spirit to pro mote the growth and advancement of the town and secure its betterment, socially, intellectually, morally, com mercially and industrially. These are the kind of men Hender son needs at this time and all the time. And it is the kind of men who can be found here, and the only kind who ought to be entrusted with the administration of the town's affairs. Measure the man for whom you vote by a high standard, seeing in him the qualifications of a good Com missioner and the inclination to ren der good public service. Wk do not see the reason in the great outcry of the state press against the proposition that our supreme court justices should wear gowns on the bench. Wilmington Messenger. There is no reason for such opposi tion. The idea is a good one. We insist that the judges be respected whether the law is or not. Pnjr Fewer gallons; Wears longer." Would You Vote in the Town Election? Two things are necessary to entitle one to vote in the town election. First, he must register, and second, he must have' paid his town tax. The law says that no person shall be al lowed to vote unless he has paid his tax for the nrevions vpjip. nn or hp- fore the first day of May.

The registra tion books will be open next Satur day, the 18th, and remain open to and including Saturday, the 25th. We urge, therefore, that if you have not already done so, call on Town Tax Collector J. L. Currin and get your tax receipt and be sure to regis ter.

Concord Trilmne. The Confederate veterans are mak ing ready to go to New Orleans for their annual reunion, and that city is preparing to give the battle-marked heroes a warm and tender reception. In this busy business age of hustle and bustle, principally after the dollar branded honors, we must not forget the old soldiers of forty years ngo. It is the duty of the Southland to diligently look to the care and comfort of these men and make each year one of ieaee and happiness to them. Their annual reunions, in which they so much pride, recall us to our duty to the Confederate vet eran and furnishes an opportunity to lay the choicest flowers on the grave of the dead and add a joy to the life of those who linger on this side the river.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Alwajs Bcsgbt Bears the Signature of DROWNING OF MR. FRANK CHURCH. Former Henderson Young Man Loses His Ufe In Yadkin River. News was received here Tuesday of the drowning of Mr. Frank J. Church, formerly of Henderson, but for the past four years book-keeper at the Union Copper Mine, near Salisbury. The accident occurred Monday after noon at Mauney's Mill, on the Yad kin river, Mr. Church being with a party of friends from Gold Hill who were enjoying an Easter Monday out ing on the river. A special to the Charlotte Observer from Salisbury gives the following particulars: Mr. Church and his party had gone by boat to an island in the river and ficknicked there. Boarding the boat, le remarked that he would take a ride down the river alone. It was a dangerous proceeding, as the current below the island is not only swift, but full of strong eddies. Mr. Church was animated by a spirit of adventure, however, and disregarded the warn ings of his companions. It was not long before he lost control of the boat and, having narrowly escaped being dashed against a rock standing out of the stream, he succeeded in reaching a place of comparative safe ty. His companions, who witnessed the whole tragedy, called to him to hold on and they would rescue him, but he was too much excited to heed. Letting go his hold, he struck out for the bank.but was immediately whirled down the stream. After going sev eral hundred yards, he went under and was seen no more. The body has not yet been recovered, although the river was dragged all last night and part of to-day. It is believed that the search must be extended several miles down the river to meet with success. The dead man was about 28 years old and had been in the employment of the Union Mine for four years. He was of a frank, open character and was very popular in Salisbury, where lie was well known. He was a mem ler of the Salisbury Lodge of Elks, and on account of his death the Eas ter dance, which was to have been given by the Elks to-morrow night, has been postponed until next week. Mr. Church was a son of the late C. B. Church, the well known merch ant of Vance county, and was an es timable and popular young man. He leaves a mother and two brothers and one sister. The brothers, Messrs. Herbert and Charlie Church, have gone to assist in the search for the body which has not yet been re covered. Refehrino to the tragedy here last week the Durham Herahl sizes up the matter this way: The HenderHon negro thought that he was letter than other negroes and the members of the race in that town should give them selves no trouble over his timely end.

Editor Oold Leaf: Our little village has been quite gay and festive for the past few days, there being several visitors here for the Easter holiday. Miss Tela Williams, of Hamlet, arrived Fri day and is remaining over for a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Wil liams. Mr. Leigh Hunt came home from the Bing ham School at Mebane. He was accom panied by his friend, Mr. Earle Webb, of Wil mington. Messrs. Bayley and Peyton Ellis, of Selma, spent Easter Sunday with their mother, Mrs. C. B. Ellis. Saturday night the young people were pleasantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Hunt. Carroms was the game of the evening after which dainty refreshments were served. MrR. C. W. Raney gave the children of the town an Easter egg hunt Monday afternoon which was much enjoyed by those present. Little Miss Sallie Charles Cheatham, Mrs. Hnney's grand-daughter, was the attractive hostess of the occasion. Monday night the young people gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Williams, where they were most delightfully entertain ed. An artistic Easter nest had been placed on a table which had been filled with beauti fully colored eggs, to which were attached cards whereon were written rhymed descrip tions of various birds. The guests drew eggs and vied with each other as to who should guess the greatest number of birds. Mr. Leigh Hunt won the prize. This being over, the young folks "tripped the light fantastic toe"' for some time, after which cream and cake were served. Tuesday evening Mrs. de Forest gave a charming little dance in honor of the young people and their visitors. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Capehart gave a most delightful dance Monday evening in honor of their guest, Miss Bertha Bill, of Springfield, Mass. Despite the down pour of rain there was a large number present from Oxford, Henderson and the Kittrell neighborhood. The residence was beautifully decorated throughout with the flowers of the season. Hospitality and good cheer reigned supreme all through the evening. Dancing was en gaged in till the wee sma' hours. Elaborate refreshments were served in great profusion and to this part of the entertainmeut the gueetidid not fail to do justice. Mrs. J. B. Crudup returned yesterday from an Easter visit to her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Rogers. Mr. R. M. Person returned from Baltimore a few days ago much improved in health. Miss Lillian Williams, of Oxford, is visiting Misses Margaret and Lantina Williams. Mrs. Clifton Cheatham arrived yesterday from Louisburg to spend several days with Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Raney. Miss Bertha Bill left vesterdav for New York City. Mr. T. II. Crudup has gone to Baltimore, having been summoned there as witnets in the Federal court. Capt. T. T. Capehart, of Abbeville, S. C, is here on a visit to his parents. P. mm TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. Two Men Shot to Death and Another Wounded. Henderson Deeply Stirred Over the Awful Occurrence Policeman John W. Robertson Fatally Shot by James Bruce, Colored, Who In Turn Re ceives His Death Wound Policeman R. A. Crockett Narrowly Escapes a Like Fate His Clothing Punctured by Bullets One Shot Taking Effect in the Breast Inflicting a Slight Wound The Trouble Brought on by the Negro and Without Provocation. Henderson has been stirred as never before perhaps by an awful tragedy enacted within her borders last Thursday night. As the result of a trivial matter and extreme fool hardiness on the part of a young ne gro two men are dead, a third one narrowly escaped the same fate, two families are plunged into mourning and the community has been full of excitement and false and unfortunate rumors. Sparks' Show was here Thursday. At the night performance James Bruce, colored, took a reserved seat among the white people. Bruce was a very bright mulatto and could eas ily be mistaken for a white person by any one who did not know him.; He bought a reserved seat ticket; the man who sold the tickets (inside the tent near the entrance) taking him to be a white person at the time. Soon after Bruce had taken his seat among the white people Policeman R. A. Crockett's attention was called to his presence. Policeman John W. Robertson being nearer to Bruce'than he was Officer Crockett directed him to tell Bruce that he was in the wrong section and ask him to move. Officer Robertson touched him on the shoul der to attract his attention and so notified him. Bruce hesitated and did not seem disposed to move. When spoken to again he said he had paid for his seat and he had a right to it, the man sold it to him. At this juncture Officer Crockett said "Bruce, you know you are a negro and you ought to have gone on the other side with the colored folks," telling him at the same time to get up and go on without having any trouble. "I am not going anywhere until I get my money (10 cents) back," was Brace's reply, and Officer Crockett told him he would get it for him. Go ing to the lady who took up the tick ets he stated the case to her and she in turn spoke to the man who sold the tickets. He refunded the money and Officer Crockett gave it to Bruce, who immediately got up and left. This was done so quietly that it at tracted no attention, only a few per sons who occupied seats close by knowing anything about it. There was no disturbance, no forcible eject ment, no excitement whatever and the occurrence was soon forgotten bv all save Bruce. Instead of going on the opposite side and taking a seat among his own people where he belonged Bruce left the show and came down town He went into Daniel & Go's, hardware store where he was employed (he car ried the key ) and got his pistol. Arm ing himself he went back to the show grounds and waited for Officers Crbck et't and Robertson to come out. When the performance was over and the crowd dispersed they stayed be hind looking for some one for whom they had a warrant thinking he might be hanging around the show grounds. As the two officers came out of the show tent Bruce accosted them. Ad dressing Officer Crockett he said he wanted an explanation from him about making him move his seat. The officer replied that he had no ex planation to make, he was only do ing his duty as an officer, and that he (Bruce) knew he was a negro and knew he had no business where he was. At this Bruce began to curse and showed a disposition to bring on trouble. Crockett told Robertson to take charge of the man that he did not want to have any fuss with him. Bruce defied them to put their hands on him saying he had not done any thing to be arrested lor and he would swim through h 1 before he would be arrested, at the same time moving up closer to Crockett in an insolent and threatening attitude. Up to this time no movement had been made to take hold of Bruce and no violence had been resorted to. 'Yon don't know the difference between a d n nigger and a negro," said Bruce. "There is no difference as far as I know," replied Crockett, whereupon" Bruce cursed him and applied a vile epithet which is unfit to print even in the form of abbreviation and dashes. As he did so Bruce made a motion to draw his pistol. Crockett struck him with his billy but he was not close enough and the force of the lick was not sufficient to knock his assailant down or prevent him from using his pistol. Bringing his weapon into play almost instantaneously Bruce put the muzzle against Crock ett's right breast and fired. The bul let,a 32-calibre,produced only a slight flesh wound and was found afterward in his sock having dropped down the leg of his trousers. One shot passed through the front part of his coat, another cut the end of the right coat sleeve and powder burned the cuff, while still another passed through the bottom of the vest four shots in all leaving their imprint on his per son or clothing. Officer Robertson was standing close by and a little to the right of Officer Crockett. When the first shot was fired thinking doubtless that a brother officer had been wounded to his death he threw himself forward between the two men. Bruce turned upon him and again his pistol blazed the bullet striking Mr. Robertson in the abdomen. By this time both Crockett and Robertson had their pistols out and began shooting. $100 Reward, $100.

One shot, the fatal one, took effect in the ab domen just below the stomach, an other in the head, also a serious one, one on the elbow and the fourth in the side, both slight. ' All three emp tied their pistols. Officer Robertson did not receive but one shoV and that was fatal. The shooting occurred about fif teen minutes alter ten o'clock, more than two hours after Bruce had been made to leave the reserved seats, and shows that the act was deliberate and premeditated on his part. A special train was chartered and as soon as a start could be made the two badly wounded men were taken to Rex Hospital in Raleigh where they were operated upon: The wounds in both instances were of a serious nature and no hopes of recovery were entertained; However, the opera tions were performed, the bowels of both being badly perforated; Mr. Robertson died at 9:15 Friday night. The body was brought to Henderson on" the fast train Saturday morning and the funeral was held that after noon the burial being ajt Cokesbury. Bruce died at 3 o clock Saturday morning and the body was brought home that night, the funeral being held from the colored Presbyterian church at 2:30 o'clock Sunday after noon. It was an awful and Unfortunate occurrence and aside, from resulting in the death of two jhie ,the bitter ness and feeling engendered by it will not soon be overcome Andhen the false and sensational, reports' that have gone abroad (the baseless and absurd article in the Raleigh Post of Sunday especially) have, done the town great injury. But Bruce brought it all upon himself. . And, yet the boy was not so much to blame; perhaps. His employment, his environment, his business associations had made a fool of him and his negro human na ture could not help asserting itself. He felt himself above his own race and believed that he was as good as a white man. Hence he preferred to take a place among white pepple even here at home where he was known. Last year when Gentry's . dog and pony show was here he had to be re moved from the reserved seat section among: the whites. And on that oc casion as on this he walked out of the show instead of going and taking a seat on the other side among his own people. The past cannot be recalled, nor the dead brought back to life. What has been done cannot be undone and the Gold Leaf does not propose to go into all the details that led up to the this lamentable affair and repeat rumors with which the town has been rife. . . - shake Into Your felioes Allen's Foot-Ease.

Absolutely Puro U aM Ml HMi w M V "ASHBOURNE HALL" The Hospitable Home of fir. and Mrs. Armistead Capehart the Scene! of a Brilliant and Pleasant Event flon day Night. Communicated. On last Monday night the beauti ful country home of Mr. Armistead Capehart, not far from Kittrell, was the scene of a brilliant and most de lightful occasion. Notwithstanding dark and threatening clouds which now and then would show their anger by pouring forth in torrents of rain, there assembled from many parts of the country, including Kittrell, Ox ford and Henderson, a large number of young people in response to the earnest and cordial behest of Mr. and Mrs. Armistead Capehart to come and do obeisance to their charm ing young visitor, Miss Beatrice Wight Bill, of Springfield, Mass. The closed carriages, ma ny of them coming 14 and 15 miles through mud and rain, began to arrive at Ash bourne Hall about dark. A most hearty welcome was given to each carriage load of drenched, muddy and merry young people by Mr. and Mrs. Capehart and their charming guest, to meet whom all had braved the storm. And as Miss Bill, with the cordial host and hostess, grace fully and easily received the crowd, making each one feel the fascination of her personality, all were addition ally thankful of the opportunity to meet her. After the newly arrived had divested themselves of mud-stained garments, etc., the girls metamorphosed in fresli evening gowns and the men, looking refreshed and bright, came trooping down the spacious stair way, all felt more in keeping with t he brilliant scene which met .their eyes. The broad halls and spacious rooms were artistically decorated with the most beautiful flowers in the greatest profusion. At first glance one imagined it was some woody nook, where all the "wild flowery nymphs under the bowers of dog wood blossoms and wisteria which in all secluded corners of the large rooms were inviting one (or two ?) to "Come hither, come hither, come hither." Soon all were brought back from fairy land by an invitation of a more substantial kind to come into the supper room to fresh banks of fra grant flowers and to a table load ed with delicacies of all kinds. After this sumptuous repast dancing: be gan, and from eight until two all were happily engaged, with occasion' al rests on the verandas where sal ads, ices, and coffee were served. Mr. and Mrs. Capehart were every where eeeing to the pleasure of their guests and dispensing: hospitality m their royal Southern fashion while Miss Bill, in spite of her siege of part ners for each dance, found time to give all a cordial word. It was with the greatest reluctance that the guests thought of turning their faces homeward, all feeling deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Capehart for giving them a never- to-be-forgotten evening of delight and for presenting them to so charm ing a young lady as their New Eng land guest. The following named were the guests present. Those from Hender son were: Misses Amy Butler, Rebecca Butler, Olivia Lamb, Alice Cheek,Claude Hun ter, Maude Jones, Nannie Landis, Car rie Landis, Magdalene Landis, Julia Tucker. Messrs. J. H.
