THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1903.
Thk Democrats of Ohio have nom
inated Tom J j. JohTi.son for Gover
nor. The Ohio Democrats seem fond
of delusions nnd defeats.
liitYAN will never be Prosident him
self and the chances are that he will
keep any other Democrat from bt-inp;
President either.
Hasn't Mr. Bryan about "done"'
the Democratic party as much as it
has done for him? Obligations
ought to m declared even and the
gentleman take a rest.
Hf.kk and there throughout the
South war is being declared on idle
ness. The loafer is being' rounded
up and he must either work or trav
el. North Carolina would be lietter
off by the application of a stringent
law of this kind.
De.vu Sir Thomas: Better go and
buy yourself a cup. Looks like this
is the ortly way you will ever get one
to carry back with you. You could
have bought a whole stack of 'em for
what it has cost you trying to l)eat
the Yankees out of this ugly looking
America's cup. And it's not n't to
drink out of either.
The rapid growth of the new rural
school library movement in North
Carolina is well set forth in the Sep
tember number of the Review of He
views by Mr. Clarence H. Poe, editor
of the Progressive Farmer. The ar
ticle informs us that parents use the
books as much as the children them
selves, and that the library move
ment is destined to play an impor
tant part, along with good roads,
and the rural telephone and mail de
livery, in the uplift of American
country life.
DURBIN AS A CRIMINAL SHIELDER.
After a trial of over three weeks in
Kentucky the jury find ex-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers guilty of the
murder of Gov. Goebel and fix the
death penalty as the punishment. It
is generally thought that Caleb Pow
ers was only the tool of ex-Gov. Tay
lor. Taylor has fled to Indiana and
Gov. Durbin refines to give him up.
This is an outrage and a shame, but
then you can expect no more of Dur
bin. He rants about lynching a
negro in his State for the nameless
crime and then shields Taylor, the
escajted murderer of Goebel and gives
a reception in his honor to the mem
bers of a negro regiment.
MAKE ALL HOME SUPPLIES.
The suggestion to the farmer to
make all his home supplies go in
first for "hog and hominy" and then
cultivate in addition as much of a
money crop as ho can properly care
for will not relieve thepresent situa
tion to be sure; but the farmers who
have acted on this advice heretofore
are the ones who are in the best con
dition to stand the strain put upon
them by the low prices of tobacco.
Experience is a dear teacher but
some people learn in no other way.
And hard as it may be for the time
lK'ing we believe good will come out
of it. If it shall teach our farmers
that the only safe and profitable
course is to make their own supplies
at home the lesson will not have been
in vain. As the AVilmington.lt'.v.vci
ger has well said:
"With a land so highly favored the
South should not be dependent upon
the frozen North for an3thing. If
the South possessed the driving and
ingenious qualities of the Yankee in
stead of buying a dollar's worth of
anything to eat or wear or use in
any way from others, it would be
selling its tens of millions of dollars
worth of the very things it now buys.
For decades, shame to say, the South
has not only been a producer but a
buyer of corn and hay and wheat and
flour and bacon and middliugs and
beef and butter and lard and so on.
This is inexcusable."

Will Never be Tolerated.
Commenting on the Booker Wash
ington - negro - party -Hamlet-eating-house
episode the Kinston Free
Press says:
The South, at least, will never consent
to anything of thia kind. It has too
much of a tinge of social equality, and it
is an unwritten law as changeless as
those of the Medes and Persians, that
social equality shall ever be alien to our
institutions.
Among the white race, the best friends
of the negro know that such incidents as
this that took place at Hamlet, and as
those rash acts that President Roosevelt
has been guilty of in regard to the race
is seriously injurious to the amicable re
lations that should exist.
Such unfortunate incidents, Imviug a
tendency as they do to disturb the ami
cable relations that should exist, cannot
be tolerated.

USED THE WRONG NAME.
In the Gold Leaf last week there
appeared a paragraph in the edito
rial column in which it was said
that "the two most persistent news
paper space beggers in North Carol
1-
na are the A. & M. College and the
Educational Bureau in Raleigh."
We had in mind at the timethe asso
ciation or organization of which Su-
perintendent Joyner, Gov. Aycock
and President Melver are the execu
tive committee, and Prof. lirooksthe
secretary, officially known as "The
Campaign Committee for the Promo
tion of Public Education in North
Carolina." Knowing the nature of
the literatnre sent out we styled it
"Educational Bureau" without ever
a thought of the business conducted
by Mr. Charles J. Parker under that
name, or the purpose to reflect upon
him or his business in any way.
While thejtitle given the committee,
organization or association was of
our own lestowing there is in Ral
eigh what is known as The Educa
tional Bureau, of which Mr. Parker
is general manager. It was estab
lished in 1891 and is widely and fa
vorably known throughout the
South and West. Mr. Parker is an
extensive advertiser but he doesn't
beg for newspaper space and pays
for what he gets. There are several
members of his Bureau in Henderson
and Vance county.
BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA
TIONS. The Gold .Leaf has earnestly de
sired to see a Building and Loan As
sociation established in Henderson.
And it has from time to time urged
the importance and value of such an
institution to the community. Wher
ever they have been established and
well managed Building and Loan As
sociations liave not only paid those
who took stock in them but have
proved a potent factor in the up
building of the city or town. If they
h ive been successfully and profitably
operated elsewhere, why not in Hen
derson? Surely we have as good tal
ent for the successful management of
these or other institutions as any
town.
A Building and Loan Association
will pay in Henderson and will help
the town and aid many in buying
and building up homes. In the past
our money lenders have to a large
extent met this demand because
many of them were willing to loan
money and then have it paid back
in small sums each month; but now
m iny of these men have invested in
different manufacturing enterprises,
while the building of cotton mills
and other industrial plants by the
number and class of operatives that
they have collected, has increased
the demand for homes and also made
it possible for their workmen to easi
ly buy and pay for homes on the
plan furnished by Building and
Loan Associations.
Let us have an Association in Hen
derson. Let the best business men
of the town take hold of it. It will
pay them, help the town and enable
many worthy working men and oth
ers to buy a home. The cost of run
ning them is very small. The Asso
ciations in Charlotte are said to
have paid H per cent, per annum.
Fewer gallons; Wears longer."!
Hold Your Tobacco.
Biblical Iteeorder.
If the farmers will hold their to
bacco, the prices must increase. If
they will not hold their tobacco, they
may be sure that from now on they
will be paid for t heir product only
enough to induce them to produce it.
The fight has been between rival con
cerns. That is passed. The concerns
have consolidated and are one in the
effort to reduce prices. The fight is
now between the trust and the farm
ers. We believe the farmers will
win.
ui course there are men that can
not hold. They must pay debts, if
they cannot extend them. We hope
their creditors will grant them this
extension. It is as important to the
creditor or the farmer as to the
farmer himself that this battle be
won. Indeed it is of the utmost im
portance to every citizen that the
farmers win this battle. The pros
perity of the farmers is the basis of
our civilization our government,
our education and in certain re
spectsof our religion. We should,
therefore, all work together in this
cause.
But, after all, the farmers must
fight their own battles. No one can
help them that will not help them
selves. They must husband their re
sources. Many a man now needs the
money he threw away last year when
prices were fair. Let him now take
his lesson, and next time he has a
surplus let him put it where it will
enable him tohold out for fair prices.
Also let the farmers organize. They
can control the situation, if they will.
No matter if politicians have fleeced
them in this matter and stand ready
to do so again; one would better be
fleeced by politicians than by com
mercial vultures. Moreover, the farm
ers can keep their organization
straight in its path.
We would not write this editorial if
we thought present prices were fair.
We regard them as arbitrary. We
regard them as part of a plan to get
as much as possible out of men in
bonds. It will catch the debtors.
Men with credit or capital will hold
until prices rise. We are reluctant
to say anything to stir discontent
and bad feeling; but in this instance,
we lay the blame at the door of the
American Tobacco Company, not the
farmers who for their half-year's
labor have been offered a starvation
price, while the trust revels in mil
lions of dollars of profit. This sort
of business may succeed for a time,
but its end is sure. Men will not
stand idle while other men fix prices
upon their labor to suit themselves.
There is no tyrrany worse than this;
and we all know the cure for tyrrany.
The present attitude of the trust is
nn invitation to confiscation.
OUTRAGE CONDEMNED.
Leading Negroes of Halifax Denounce
Crime of the Negro Rapist Ponton.
One serious mistake the negroes
make is in denouncing lynching, with
never a word of denunciation or
warning against the crime which
causes lynching. Sympathy is usu
ally with the victim of the lynchers,
rarely with the victim of the lynched.
Now and then there is a rare excep
tion and here is one of them. In a
communication to the Raleigh Post
signed by M. W. Williams, (Rev.) A.
J. Jackson and John H. Collins, as
committee, for whom the Weldon
News vouches as among the best ne
groes of Halifax, these sentiments
are expressed:
"We, the colored citizens of Hali
fax, N. C, do condemn the murder
and outrage committed on the 20th
day of August upon -a white child 12
years of age in our historic town by
the negro and human brute Manna
Ponton. We do hereby pledge our
selves to use every means within our
reach to stop the heinous crime of
rape that is so common within the
confines of our State. We ask the
ministers of the Gospel, school teach
ers and all good citizens to resolve
themselves into a committee of the
whole to prevent said crime by using
the best means suited to the occa
sion. We do not encourage lynching
and would prefer the law to take its
course, but circumstances very otten
alter cases. The said Manna Pon
ton was hanged and shot a few
hours after he committed the damna
ble crime. the right man was
caught and made a confession. The
fate that he met for his crime was
not too severe, and we hope that it
will be a warning to all evil-doers,
and deter them from committn
atrocious crimes.
"The better class of colored citi
zens in our town will not counte
nance crimes, and will do their best
to stop outrages and bring the of
fender to trial at all hazards.

RAISE MORE HAY.
It is not an uncommon sight in the
spring to see a wagon loaded with
guano and hay going out to some
farm, the lands of which are better
adapted to hay growing than the
lands where this Northern or Western
product was grown. And that the
home grown article is of far superior
quality admits of no argument
Why then do our people not raise
more hay? It is an easily grown and
profitable crop. Adverting to this
subject the Savannah (Ga.) Xews
says:
With tens of thousands of acres of
land suited to the growing of hav,
the South lias actually imported hay
from the North and West by the
hundreds of thousands of tons, in
many instances no doubt giving the
value of two acres of cotton for the
product of one acre of hay. It needs
no argument to show that such bus
iness is very poor economy. The
South should raise not only all the
hay she needs for her own stock, but
a considerable surplus for export for
eign and domestic.
It is. as the Wilmington Messenger
says, to be regretted that the South
with all of its opportunities, advan
tages nnd necessities has never em
barked in growing hay in filling
their great barns with this most use
ful article of husbandry. But if not
for market, certainly our farmers
ought to raise enough for their own
use.
A Purgative Pleasure.
If you ever took DeWitt's Little Early
Itinera for biliousness or constipation you
know what a purgative pleasure is. These
famous little pills cleanse the liver and rid
the system of all bile without producing
unpleasant effects. They do not gripe, sicken
or weaken, but give tone and strength to the
tissues and organs involved. V. II. Howell,
of Houston, Tex., says: 'Xo better pill can
be used than Little Early Risers forconstipa-
tiou, sick headache, etc." Sold at Parker's
Two Drug Stores.
Rev. R. W. Boyd, the superintend
ent, writes an exceedingly interest
ing story in yesterday's Observer
about the Barium Springs Orphan
age. It has been said in these col
umns before, and is repeated, that
these orphanages are the most be
ficient institutions in the State. It
is shocking to think of what might
otherwise be the fate of the little
creatures they shelter. A civilized,
humane people, not to say a Chris
tian people, cannot do too much for
them, and it will be a standing re
proach to the State, upon which
they are dependent for charity, if
these little things should ever be per
mitted to suffer for a roof, for food
or for comfortable clothing. Char

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Signature of
NEGROES GIVEN PREFERENCE. I
The action of the managers of the
railroad hotel at Hamlet in seating
Booker Washington and his party
of negroes in the main dining room
for breakfast while white persons
were accommodated in the small
writing room, has raised a storm of
indignation and protest from one
end of the State to the other. Wheth
er consciously or unconsciously
Messrs. Jamison & Gresham made a
bad break and one they will not hear
the last of very soon.
When the same p;irty of negroes
passed this way going to Nashville
they got dinner at Norlina. Atthat
time they were accommodated out
side the main dining room and no
complaint was heard fron. either
side. Tliey were fed just as well as
the white people were, their money
buying just as much. But there was
no suggestion of social equality. Re
turning they got breakfast at Ham
let. The train being late and few
white persons being reported the ne
groes were given the right of way in
the dining room while the whites
took their meals in the small side
room or went without. This United
States -Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
and a party of friends with him, be
sides others did refused to take sec
ond choice.
At Norlina Washington's party
got dinner, the main dining room
being given up to their use as was
done at Hamlet. But this fact seems
to have been overlooked in the cen
sure and condemnation of the Ham
let episode, or else it is not known
that the same people (Jamison &
Gresham are proprietors of both
eating houses) committed the same
offense twice in the same day. The
Raleigh Xews and Observer com
meriting on the Hamlet affair says:
It is not a little matter in any way
to break down the barriers between
the races. It is the dut-v of every
good citizen to protest and fight
against breaking it down in any re
spect. Instead of letting the barrier
down every effort should be made to
raise it higher. It is the only safety
of the South, and the man who does
anything to make the color line less
clear and distinct is, consciously or
unconsciously, an enemy to South
ern civilization.
The negroes who t ravel are entitled
to good accommodations in sepa
rate cars. At eating houses ample
provision should be made in places
separate and apart for serving meals
to negroes. They should not be de
nied the comforts of travel, but there
should be no mixing. Laws compel
separate cars on the railroads and
separate waiting rooms at depots.
This incident at Hamlet shows that
there is need of a law requiring sepa
rate places where negroes may ob
tain their meals.
The Southern people are actuated
in demanding this perfect separation
of the races by no unfriendliness to
the negroes. They wish them to
have every right to which they are
entitled and to be afforded every
comfort for which they pay. But, as
essential to the preservation of civil
ization and as the best thing for
both races, they demand complete
separation.
The incident at Hamlet is the first
one in the history of the State. If it
is permitted to pass unnoticed and
unrebuked, where will the dangerous
innovation cease? The time to stop
it is now. The people on all the rail
roads have talked of nothing else
this week. Traveling men especially
feel outraged by the action and give
expression to their indignation in
terms as warm and as vehement as
the weather is hot and oppressive.
North Carolina will treat the ne
groes right, but it will not tolerate
any imitation of Roosevelt's attempt
to wipe out the color line.
The only safety of the whites, or
negroes either, for that matter, in
the South, is the absolute separa
tion of the races in matters of this
sort.
A Good. Liver.
A bad liver means a bad breath, bad com
plexion, poor digestion am! often constipa
tion. A good healthy, active liver means a
fine clear skin, free from piwdes and spots,

good health. Make the liver healthy and
keep it healthy by using It) dales I.ivcr
Tablets. They act specifically on the liverj
as a mild stimulant and tonic, arousing it to

THE RACE ISSUE.
Roosevelt's Position Hurtful to the
Negro The flississippi Campaign
Defects of Our Educational Sytem.
Communicated.
The South knows what it is to "stand
at the parting of the ways." The Civil
war was followed by the reconstruction
davs. The white men of the South have
borne the burden of having their former
slaves (an inferior race) liberated and.
without any preparation, given the full
right of citizenship. The South met the
issue bravely and heroically and although
sorely tried by the criticisms and inter
ference of the North, very nearly solved
the difficult problem.
President McKiuley saw and appreci
ated this and inaugurated a policy of
reconciliation that was calculated to do
away with the race issue. His action
was understood and appreciated both
North and South. President Roosevelt,
whether designedly or not, has worked
in every way to revive the race issue and
it is beginning to be realized how well he
has succeeded.
The first fruit is seen in Mississippi in
the recent campaign iu that State for
the Democratic nominationforgovernor.
Mr. Vardaman, it appears, has won on
the issue to let taxes collected from
whites educate white children only, and
taxes from the colored race support the
schools for colored children. This was
unfortunate but the negroes can only
thank Mr. Roosevelt and his position,
especially his action in regard to the In
dianola post office.
One of the noblest sacrifices made by
the people of the South has beeu iu pay
ing for the education of the negro. They
supported schools for the blacks in their
midst with taxes paid with their naru
earned money and at an expense and
loss in the schools for the education of
their white children: but the white peo
pie recosrnized it as a duty as well as a
necessity laid upon them to educate the
blacks. They realized that their self pro
tection demanded it.
In our "educational awakening and
campaign in this State it will be well for
our leaders to take .'warning from the
turn that matters have taken in Missis
sippi. There is already an undercurrent
of sentiment like this among our people.
Many white people begin to feel that
their payments and sacrifices for the ed
ucation of negroes is too heavy a bur
den laid upon them, and gives too poor
results. The only way in which it can
bo met is by being reasonable in our edu
cational work and demands and in de
vising some means by which the educa
tion provided for the negro will better
fit him for such work as he can do among
us. The fact is that so far the education
given him has in the main tended to unfit
him for his work and has started him
North or to some city or town, or if he
remained, has made him a non-producer,
living on the prejudice and credulity of
his race.
In plain truth our present methods of
education tend too much to the driving
of even all white boys to the cities and
towns. We need education along the
lines of teaching such things as will give
our boys a knowledge of their surround
ings and create in them a respect and
love for the same kind of work done by
their fathers, only in a better and more
scientific and of course a more profitable
way. X.
