Bishop Hood says the North doen

And it is also true that the better t he

Tin: Kalci",'.! Carnival attracted
lar;e crowds last week. From a
financial standpoint it was not prof
itable to the merchants and it is
doubtful if they want another. The
amusement attractions were of a
higher class than the average of such
thing's and they made money. It
was a jolly, good humored crowd
that thronged the streets each day
and visitors and home folks nlik
seemed to enjoy the occasion.
At the recent municipal elections
several towns in the State voted on
the question of a bond issue for pub
lic improvements waterworks, sew
erage, graded schools, street im
provements, etc. It is a noteworthy
fact that not a single one of them
voted adversely to the proposition.
In the little town of Kinstoa where
.? 1 .".,( M was the amount voted on
the election was practically unani
mous in favor of it. And yet when
onlv .ll.000 is asked for in Hender
son, the bonds to run '5 years, there
is opposition to the measure, (!en-
tlemen, we can't afford not to vote
for it. We must have sewerage in

R. R. Pinkston.
A Tidy City for Health.
New Corn Journal.
The exterior appearance of a city is the
side waich appeals first and most strong
ly to every visitor.
Well kept roadways, tidy side walks,
no piles of accumulated rubbish to be
seen, and the visitor will be favorably
impressed as he or she passes through
the city.
There are cities w hich havetheexterior
asiect of extreme tidiness, which have
much uneleanness and filth in lots and
alleys which cannot be seen by the casual
observer.
but it can be accepted as a rule that
the outwardly tidy city, is a cleanly city
throughout.
The old saving that ' cleanliness is in
deed next to godlines," finds verification
in the tidy city, as it does in the cleanly
person.
A street gutter with Koine rubbish in
it, unless quickly cleaned, soon becomes
the receptacle for all kinds of refuse, and
ho will a dirty sidewalk be considered the
place on which to spit or throw tue ba
nana peel or any kind of fruit refuse.
A city's streets may be none the best
in smoothness, may le even broken in
places, but there is no excuse that refuse
and litter dropped from passing wagons
should be permitted to remain on the
streets.
A city's sidewalks may be uneven, but
tliey should not be unclean, or allowed
to be blocked with rubbish or merchan
dise of any kind.
It is not that this season of the year is
more esju'iially appropriate for the call
for cleanliness in every city, for cleanli
ness is demanded throughout the year,
both' in the places which are most often
H!-en and used, and equally in the hidden
places, in back lots and alleys.
The cost to a municipality to keep it
self clean is but one bill to pay, for the
city or town which neglects keeping
clean, must pay the bills which a filth
breeding pestilence is certain to bring,
and these bills are never ending until
cleanliness again prevails.
Tin; Wilmington Messenger thinks
"it is about time our president was
putting an end to his electioneering
tour and returning to Washington
to look after t he count ry's business.
The grave situation in the east de
mands his personal attention."
Lessen of the Elections.
The Kocky Mount .lotoreonnnent
ing on the recent municipal elections
held in this State, says:
"In a number of the towns there
were important questions decided
and when the elect ions areconsidered
as a whole, there are some interest
ing things that can be gathered from
t hem. A number of t he towns voted
on bond issues and in every instance
they were carried. Kinston voted
the" handsome sum of s1 ."0.00!) to
be expended in putting in public con
veniences. Several others voted for
graded schooN. All this indicates
that the Siate is on a steady, for
ward industrial movement. But the
most interesting phase of the elec
tions was the vote where the whiskey
question was an issue. With twoex
ceptions where the issue came up the
towns voted against whiskey. The
two exceptions were Morganton and
Asheville. At Asheville the anti-saloon
adherents put up a ticket which
the Ucpublica ns endorsed. The Dem
ocrats beat the ticket. At Morgan
ton by a close vote it was decided to
change from prohibition to license.
From information we have this was
mainly because that while prohibi
tion Jaws have prevailed, they were
not observed, blind tigers being run,
and that whereas under license laws
the town derived revenue by taxing
the saloon, under prohibition laws
no revenue was derived and still the
saloon prevailed. This teaches the
lesson that prohibition laws do not
prohibit unless there is a strong sen
timent for prohibition, sufficient to
cause the law to be enforced. The
whole history of laws teaches, as for
that matter, that laws do not ac
complish their object unless backed
up by a sufficient -strength of public
sentiment. I Jut considering the elec
tions as a whole thev are verv grati
fying to tiny well wishing citizen for
his State, lhey show industrial
progress, and everything considered,
a higher moral totie of sentiment per
vading the people.

exercises were held in Coojjer Oiera

There was a good attendance and the
exercises throughout were of an interest

The exercises were begun uy singing

a fervent and feeling prayer. Mrs. J. S.
Hnrwell sani?"Mv Old Kentucky Home"'
and rapt. W. B. Shaw introduced the
orator of the occasion, laser i'oiK.i.sq.,
ofWarrenton. In being announced Capt.
Shaw was presented as himself a veteran,
one of the bravest of the brave, who,
while vet a vouth. responded to Ins
country'wca!l,and who had through
out Uie trying inneKiinuieuiuieiy mji
lowing the tlayH of '61 and 'G5 and
in the civic walks of life since no less
than in time of war been evevtrue to
him-iclf and to his eountry. His in
troduction of the gifted young man
who was to follow him v well
timed ami set the pace for the really
admirable and eloquent ore-thai to
which the audience was to listen,
Mr. Polk was greeted with deinoti
stratiuns of admiration and appre
ciation when he rose and walked to
the foot of the t-tage. His address
was pitched upon a high key. it
ws eloquent in expression, beauti
ful in diction, apt in illustration.
Pull of the spirit of patriotism it
was yet devoid of any fctling of bit
terness. He paid a high tribute to
the valor and heroism of the Confed
erate soldier and declared that in the
annals of warfare the world had
never seen his mperior if indeed his
equal Drawing si sad but truthful
picture of conditions in t1 e South
land at the close of the war, the de
astniion si ml ruin wh ch the Con
federate Hoidier found upon return
ing home after Appomattox wh-n
all save lion-r seemed to be !ot, he
told of how this hm me Confederal to
soldier, utilised to labor as he was.
went to work with a brave heart
iind courageous spirit, to rebuild the
waste pbices ami retrieve his lost
fortunes. Ard how with faith in Clod
and hope for the future he had laid
the foundation for the wonderful de
velopment and prosperity which we
now enjoy. It was a splend'd ti il
u te which the gilted speaker paid to
the Confederate soldier both ia ti:n
of w ir siud tHiie of peace.
Mr. Polk sp ke without manu
script. His address va out of the
beaten path usually followed by
speakers on such occasions its i'-ter-
st and value being le ightcned by
t he uniqaener-s sm i originality of it.
The (ioi.n I.kaf d sired to pi:l lish
the speech in full and we request -,d
the maniiscript for that purpose
Mr. Polk informed us that he h;id
not wcitt'ii it oat merely uti. ii -d'.g
his t houi1 h 1 s under vai i -us he-'. do gs
hut if we thought it worthy of pub
lication he would undertake lo write
it out for u.s when lie returned home.
A letter received f-ince then states
th.it when he attempted to do this
fro-ii his notes the result was so un-sati.-f.-i
tory I hat he abandoned it.
'! his we regret and we know that in
this regret our renders will share.
In ('Deluding his letter Mr. Colk
rays
' I had gathered together si num
Lor of stiitistics with which I ex
pected to illustrate how fearful were
the ' (Ids agstinst which our soldiers
were contending, but when I s:iv
that my audience was composed
chiefly of ladies, who as si ride care
so lil tie for JiguriH, tied old veterans,
who kr,ew the odds better than I
could till them, and boys and girls
to whom statistics would have been
' orv tiri-soii e, I decided not to use
them. This made the address a good
d-al shorter find, on that account,
piea.antcr. perhaps "
At the eoncln.sion of Mr. Polk's address
Cnpt. W. I!. Shaw delivered n short memorial
on Col. V. II. Cheek, First North Carolina
Cnviiir.v, to whose gallantry and military
g:'iiinn he paid merited tribute. The occasion
of this was a life size oil portrait to he hnng
in the State library in IUileig'h. This picture
represent ins the dead soldier in his uniform
of prav as he appeared during the war, was
painted by Mies Sue Hall, of Oxford. It rest
ed on an easel at the front of the stng-o and
was much admired by all who saw it.
The next thing on the program was the be
stowing of "Crosses of Honor'' on such vet
erans as had complied with the rules and
regulations governing the same. Tnose who.
received the Crosses were: J. Daniel Ayscue,
X. If. Breedlove. Itenjamin Isaac Brecdlove,

These decorations were pinned on the vet
erans by a committee of ladies representing

a desire that th Gold Leaf should thank
the ladies for the interest shown in their be
half and for the pleasure given tlirin on this
occasion.
Tic Daughters of the Confederacy and
Henry L. Wyatt Camp, Confederate Veterans,
under whose auspices the exercises were held,

of interest nnd pleasure and one long to be

WANTS NORTH TO TAKE HAND.
Nero Bishop Dissents From Mr.
Cleveland's Views.
Bridgeport, Conn., May 0. Strong
disapproval of the views of ex-President
Cleveland on the race problem
was expressed todav by Rev. J. W.
Hood, of Fayetteville, N. C, Presid
ing Bishop of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church in the United
States, who is here to attend the
New England conference.
"While I admiro Mr. Cleveland
greatly, as a statesman and a citi
zen, I dissent from his recently -expressed
opinion that the settlement
of the negro question should be left
to theSouth, the Bishop said. "Time,
with the education of the negro, will
settle the question. These forces
should be reinforced by a firm resolve
on the part of the Federal Govern
ment to defeat any attempt to repeal
the Fifteenth Amendment.
"The people of the North do not
fully understand the question, and I
believe they too readily defer to the
rising sentiment against the negro.
That is beeau.se they do not know
the negro.
"Time and education are uplifting
the negro in the South and he is com
ing into possession of the land and
becoming more and more so each
year. But he must have Federal pro
tection if this process of improve
ment is to continue. The recently
enacted disfranchisement acts are a
question of serious concern to the
North."

William Noilie Ellington, Sr.
The spirit of this good and gentle man
took its flight from hi3 body on Mav 10,
1903.
He laid been bed-ridden eight months.
The loved ones who cared for him all
through his illness say that through all
his sufferings he did not utter one word
of complaint.
Brother Ellington was the oldest living
member fn a family of five brothers and
three sisters. His living children , arc:
Mrs. Mary K. Thoniason, .Mrs. Eunice M.
Ellington, William Nol'iie Ellington, Jr.,
Mrs. Canara Crockett, iind Spencer V.
Ellington.
He had been a Christian and a member
of the Baptist church about fifty year.
He first joined Tabb's Creek church in
Granville county. He was afterwards a
member of Corinth in the same county.
About fourteen years' ago he united
with the Baptist church in Henderson.
He was in its fellowship at his death.
His faithful companion had preceded him
into the land of rest by five years and
one-half.
A large company of relatives and
friends attended his funeral service which
was held in the home of his son Xollie
Eliington, on May 11th. In the service
three hymns that "Brother Ellington had
loved were sting: "The Sweet By-and-By,"
"Rest for the Weary," and "We're Going
Home." It seemed so fitting to sing of
rent and home. For his pilgrimage had
been a long one. He had tried to do
right. He had toid his children repeated
ly that he was ready and waiting for the
time of his departure to come.
While they sang he was resting at
home. Never to go away from home
again, nor to become weary, nor to be ill
any more, nor to sorrow. As the day
was closing his body was laid to rest in
Elmwood cemetery. While the flowers
were being placed, these were the words
sung:
'"Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky.
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly:
Still all my song sh;ill be.
Nearer my God, to Thee.
Nearer to Thee!"

A Surprise Omitted.
EniToit Gold Leaf: In last week's is
sue of the Gold Leaf I read with much
interest the account of the Commence
ment of the Epsom High School. The
article was written by a close observer
and one who had language to make plain
to the public the excellence of the enter
tainment throughout, but one import
ant event in the day's proceedings seems
to have slipped his keen eye and acute
observation.
Oa the morning of the Commencement
the suqirise that was to come was re
vealed to the Faculty and when the two
medals were awarded of which last
week's writer made known there was a
real surprise in store not only for the
scholars but fpr the audience a3 well.
This was a medal given to the one who
was thought to be the "Widow Snig
gles," but who according to the Gold
Leaf seemed to be the ''Widow Smug
gles." Mr. I). Y. Cooper, one of Henderson's
best citizens, who knew of the struggle
that was being made for the medals
awarded for oratory, thought there
might be some medal won on music as
well, and with the thoughtfuluess of such
a noble hearted man, one whom we all
know to be always in the right place at
the right time with the right thing to in
spire some one for higher ideals in life;
who does not spare any thing that would
promote Christian Education, and give
us a better inspiration for higher and
nobler things; he it was who sent a medal
to the Faculty of this school to be
awarded to the one who had made the
greatest improvement in Music for the
term.
This Medal was awarded to Miss
Rowena M. Daniel and delivered to her
by Rev. J. H. Henderlite, one of Hender
son's ablest pastors, who had honored
the School with the Baccalaureate Ser
mon on Sunday. His three minutes
speech wss filled with as much that was
suitable for the occasion as though there
had been three speaking. One sentence I
will take the privilege to repeat here: "It is
an honor to win in a medal contest (and
winning when there is no contest is no
less honor) not to wear away the crown
of gold that could be bought for a few
dollars but to wear the crown of Brains
that gives one the power to excel."

ern Railway lines traverse too large a terri
tory to be prospected by individuals without
unlimited time at their disposal, nnd hence
this publication by seeking out the upeciai
advantages and adaptility of particular sec
tions is enabled to localize the wants of en
quirers and put them in the way of having
those wants satisfied more quickly and eco
nomically than if left to their own devices.
In the current issue attention is called to
points where manufacturing interests have
greatly outstripped agricultural development
in the surrounding country and where at
tractive home markets offer striking induce
ments for farmers and truck -growers from
other sections to come and locate. On the
other hand, other sections are indicated
where the development of farmiug lea ves lit
tle to l' desired that is not already accom
plished, but where splendid opportunities are
open to engage in various manufacturing
pursuits; thus the Southern Field seeks to be
helpful by locating opportunities which will
bear examination as business propositions
and bringing them to the attention of pros
pective investors.

Ccliier's for the Current Week.
Collier's Weekly is given over tp the spirit
of sport and out-of-door lif this week. It is
built for that large and growing class of
Americans who look upon May, chiefly, as
the announcer of the year's reul festivities
and the avant-coureur of all that is worth
living for. So there is a cover page iu colors
showing the water-jump of a hurdle race nnd
a double-page drawing by the inimitable A.
IJ. Frost, to see which is to know the excite
ment of a base-ball game.
These are indicative of the tone which per
vades the reading matter. There is a resume
of college sport conditions by Walter Camp;
Dan Beard has written and drawn pictures
of "A Tenderfoot Fisherman in Montana;"
and there is a dissertation oa the national
ball game by Broughton Brandenburg, which
will please all devotees and is apt to convert
the skeptical. "Little Things a Camper
Should Know" ars enumerated by W. li.
Thornton, and there are interesting articles
on "Fly-casting" and the fisher marten.
Dorothy Canficld has written of European
travel and the summer outing generally.
Even in fiction, the outdoor element is in
evidence. Eleanor Hoyt, of "Misdemeanors
of Nancy" fame, has a charming storyetle
dealing with love and automobiling. A poem
of lazy life by Frank L. Stanton makes the
reader hear the bees a-humming.
Besides thee features, there is a description
of dedication scenes in St. Louis, and an ex
cellent photograph of ex-President Cleveland.
President Roosevelt and ex-Governor Francis.
The history of the Beaver, the first steamboat
on the Pacific, is told by Agnes Deans Cam
eron. The ("oilier news departments are full
of interest, as ever.
