THE HENDERSON GOLD JLEAF THURSDAY, JUSTE 2, 1904. The Gold Leaf. ESTABLISHED 1881. BY THAD R. MANNING. THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1004. CANNOT AFFORD TO BE SILENT. The strict silence editorially of cer tain newspaiiers with regard to the contempt proceedings against Editor Daniels is noticeable. This may or may not be surprising. Their atti tude of indifference can be accounted for in one or two ways, either abject cowardice or the green-eyed monster, jealousy. But we want to say that this thing has a greater significance than its effect upon a single news pater. It is infinitely more far-reaching. Josephus Daniels might rot in jail, his paper might be confiscated and suppressed and the loss could be survived. But destroy the liberties of the people, abridge the right of free speech and the freedom of the press, and the result would be quite different. A great principle is in volved and the press cannot afford to be suVnt in this hour of imperiled freedom whether it admires and en dorses the course of Josephus Daniels and the Xews and Observer or not. As the Charlotte Xews well says: Is.'t the issue le joined, and it is not Josephus Daniels who will have cause to regret it. The people of North Carolina have been pioneers in independence ere this. They were not afraid of King (Jeorge when even Jef ferson was protesting against separa tion from tin- mother country. They are not afraid to test the issue. Every decent man In the State, every man who has any veneration for the glorious history of the State, every man who recognizes that an untrammeled press is the bulwark of a people's liberties, is with Josephus Daniels and against Judge Purnell to the last ounce of his influence. Joseph is Daniels is not yet writing editorials from "('oil No. 1." Some of our judges seem to be "bigger men than old Grant." In the light of Chief Justice Fuller's action Judge Purnell must feel like thirty cents. Will, Judge Peebles follow Judge Purnell'slead and himself have some what to say to certain North Caro lina editors? It was all mighty funny when the lawyers were threatened with being sent to jail, but when it comes to edi tors, the thing's different. The people of North Carolina are a conservative people and slow to move, but once aroused thej' are swift to act. Even the patient ox may le tried to the point of over endurance. Monday, May ."50th, was Federal Memorial Day. At Arlington, Atlanta and elsewhere the graves of Confeder ate dead were strewn with flowers by Grand Army men along with those of the Union soldiers. Verily, this is a united country. It is getting to be a dangerous thing for a newspaper to express its opinion about a judge in this State. But tho mnvspajiers will continue to have opinions and to express them regardless of threatening judges and yawning jail doors. In the death of Senator Hanna and Senator Quay the Republican party has lost two of its greatest political leaders within a short time of each other. As organizers and party managers, each in his peculiar sphere, they had few equals. Let every Democrat attend the primaries next Saturday. Go out and express your views and register your will in the matter of selecting delegates to the county convention, anu li everything is not to vour liking you will not have yourself to blame for it. Colonel William D. Chesterman.a veteran newspaper man and member of the editorial staff of theRichmoud Times-Dispatch, died at his home in that city after a protracted illness last Sunday morning. In his death Virginia journalism has suffered an irreparable loss. The Republican Congressional con vention for the Second district, re cently held in "Weldon, elected a solid negro delegation to the National convention. They are ex-Congressman II. P. Cheatham, of Warren, and S. II. Vick, of Wilson, as delegates; with M. F. Thornton, of Warren, and S. G. Newsom, of Halifax, as alter nates. The whites were not in it at all. The negroes were in cont rol and they ran things to suit themselves a ierfectly natural thing to do. United States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay died at his home in Beaver, Pa., last Saturday after noon. He had not been well for a longjiiue but his immediate sickness dated only a few weeks back. What ever may be said about his politics and his methods the South should approach his bier with reverential respect and gratitude for his attitude on the Force bill. He was her friend and defender against that infamous measure and we should ever feel grateful to him for it. BEST UEMEDY FOR BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES.

Editor Josephus Daniels, of the Xews and Observer, was on Monday arrestedat theinstance of Judge Pur nell, of the Federal Court, for con tempt, the ac tion growing out of cer tain editorials published in criticism of the appointment of a receiver for the At'untic & North Carolina Rail road. A fine of 2,000 was imposed which Mr. Daniels refused to pay or permit his friends to pay for him. lie had numerous offers of assistance, financial, legal and otherwise, but very properly the plucky editor pro posed to fearlessly fight it out on its merits. "I will not pay one cent,' said Mr. Daniels, "I will rot in jai first." Editor Daniels is held in custody but he will not be sent to jail hardly The case has been carried before the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court on habeas corpus proceedings. The affair has created a sensation and provoked a storm of indignation and comment. Opinions may differ but we do not believe there was any thing in the editorial complained o to justify the contempt proceedings and which a free paper might not have said with propriety. We do not subscribe to nor endorse every tiling the Xews and Observer says and does. Far from it, but when ts editor is hauled up in this high handed fashion it is time for the press of the country to speak out in indignant protest against the arbitrary act. The day of the Sedition laws has passed. The people of this country, and of North Carolina par ticularly, will not for one moment tolerate any such thing, and the sooner this is understood the better The Xews and Observer ma v have abused its privileges (though in tin specific charges against Editor Daniels we do not so hold) but better that 00 such ones escape than throt tle the liberty of the press by punish ing one in the direct line of his duty. Judge Purnell will find that he has gone up against a difficult proposi tion, and creature of the Federa authority that he is ho must know that he is not greater than a free press and a sovereign people. The people of North Carolina will not en dorse his course, and what is more. they will not silently submit to it The press and the people have some rights as well as the Judges albeit they are Federal Judges a fact which may as well be recognized and ac cepted one time as another. The outcome of this affair will be awaited with interest. JrncE Peebles said at Lumberton the other day, in reply to the charges preferred against him by the Robeson bar, that he had never b(H?n drunk but once in his life, mid then he was only seventeen years old, and that he had not been under the influence ! of whiskey since that time. And it is not charged that Judge Peebles was drunk when he said that. COMING HOME TO THEM. A friend in Philadelphia sends us a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer of May 2()th, containing an account of a criminal assault perpetrated upon a young lady in Fainnount Park by a negro man. The victim was an artist and a cripple, and was there doing some landscape sketching by which she earned a livelihood. Edi torially the Inquirer says this in re gard to the horrible occurrence whicl is coming all too near home to them: It is a long time since anything of local occurrence has so deeply shocked the sensibilities and so strongly aroused the indignation of this com munity as the atrocious assault of which an unfortunate young woman was made the victim within the con fines of Fairmount Park last Tues day evening. We read of such hor rible things being from time to time done and suffered m other places, and we think we can enter into the feel ings of the people who are stirred bv their furious resentment to acts of retributive violence, but it is not the same thing. A few miles of distance makes all the difference, and now that for the first time in its history Philadelphia has lieenmade the scene of one of these nameless outrages it is possible to realize how others feel under similar circumstances, and to understand much that has heretofore leen only partially intelligible. The first thought ami the first de mand of every one will be that no stone be left unturned and no effort spared to effect the arrest of the un qualifiable miscreant by whom the thing was done. To that end all the resources at the command of the Director of Public Safety and of the Mayor should le energetically and unhesitatingly employed. The police have often surprised even-body by the promptitude and certainty with which they have put their hands upon some criminal flying from the pur suit of justice. Now they have an opportunity to distinguish them selves of which they will be expected to take full advantage. The jvoople of Philadelphia look to them and the Park guards, with whom they must to some extent be associated in their exertions, to catch the scoundrel who is now trying to elude their search, to the end that he may without the least avoidable delay be held answer able to the law for the atrocious crime of which he has been guilty. lhe people of Philadelphia will not rest satisfied, and many of them will be oppressed by a sense of personal insecurity until he is behind the prison bars.

There are those of our readers who will recall the presence in Henderson some years ago of Warren Coleman, an intelligent and well-to-do colored man of Concord, N. C.,who was raising money with which to establish a cot ton mill to be owned and operated exclusively by negroe3. He was aided in his efforts by many white people and the mill was finally built and put in operation. The venture has not been successful. The Raleigh Times makes this comment: The only cotton mill ever operated in the State or in the South by ne- trroes is now in the hands of a re ceiver. This mill was built at Con cord some years ago. Some people in the State have watched the pro gress of this enterprise to see whether negroes were really capable oi con ducting such a business, it seems they are not. They have had the best years m which to try ttie expert ment. Other cotton mills in Concord have piled up profitsduring the years in which this one has been making for the hands of a receiver. The truth is the negro is not vet ready for work of this sort. He may be some time, but it's not now. He can cultivate the cotton in the field, pick it out and carry it to the gin, and this is the extent of his capabilities as yet. It requires now the best bus iness ability to conduct successfully the cotton mill business. The ma chinery has become more delicateand complicated, labor more transient and uncertain, and then, after the product is manufactured, it requires real up-to-date skill and experience to market the goods at a profit. When these things are taken into the account, and the further fact that the best talent of the Anglo-Saxon is engaged in tins business, it will not be surprising1 that the nesrroes of Concord have proven unequal to the business. Last week Judge Purnell appointed Thos. D. Meares, of Wilmington, re ceiver of the Atlantic & North Caro lina Railroad, later naming V. E. Mc- IJee as co-receiver. The matter was taken before Chief Justice Fuller, o the United States Supreme Court, and an order was made suspending the receivership until the : further order of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. This reversal o Judge PurneH'8 order appointing a receiver leaves the road in the hands of the State as before, bond being re quired in the sum of $25,000. Congressional Convention.

Seventh Biennial In St. Louis flay 17th the Largest Organization of Women In the World More than 3,000 Delegates and Alternates Attendance. in Communicated. The seventh Biennial of the General Federation! Women's Clubs convened in St. IjouisMav 17th. 1904. Tne re- Dort of the credential committee showed more than three thousand delegates and alternates in attendance represent ing forty-five State Federations, with a membership of two nunarea tnousana women. There were pernaps ten jnou sand club women in the city. The General Federation is the largest organization of women m the world and this was the largest gathering of women on record. Mrs. D. 1. b. Deni son of New York City, was President. The session was held in the Odeon theatre, a magnificent auditorium, and under the same roof were ionic ana Doric Masonic Halls which were used for committee rooms. In another large room were a post office, half dozen tele phones, as many type writers, and a Bureau of Information. There were rest rooms and dressing rooms also The meetings were intensely interest ing. On the programme were many bright women who talked with ease and force. The business sessions were re markably harmonious and were con ducted with dispatch. The only inter ruptions of note coming from women at the back of the hall who frequently called out "Madam President, we can't hear one word. The departments of General Federal tidn work were first discussed in confer ence, and afterward in open convention, thus giving one informal and no one more general consideration of these de partments, which are: Literature. Edu cation. Child Labor. Industrial Train ing, Household Economics. Civil Service Iteform, Library Extension, civics, ana Art. One very interesting session was hearing the reports read by representa tives from foreign clubs, including sever al from Alaska, from Shanghai, London, Honolulu, India. Mexico, Porto Rico, Chili, and Australia. One delegate from Alaska complained of being classed among foreign clubs, saying that Uncle Sam treated Alaska like a rea-neaaea step child, and that the Federation was not much more maternal The election of officers scarcely created a ripple. There was much more interest apparent in the discussion of the five or ten cents per capita tax The city of St. Louis kindly offered the use of its voting boxes. One speaker exr pressed doubt as to whether we could afford to use them. Sandwiched between business meet ings and conference were receptions. They were so numerous that it was impossi ble to accent all. The most elaborate function, perhaps, was the luncheon tendered by the Board of Lady Managers of the Exposition, to the visitors. It must have been a Herculean task to serve three thousand guests. Yet they were prepared in all save room for the occasion, home reporters have scattereu abroad the idea that there was a scram ble for something to eat, resulting in a shortage. There Was a great crush be cause the rooms were inadequate. But the store of sandwiches, salad, cake, cream and coffee was abundant and ele gant. Another delightful occasion was a recsption in the Botanical Gardens, by the "VVednesdav Club lof St. Louis. Still another was on the grounds when tea was served by natives 01 China, J apan and Ceylon. Receptions were tendered in some of the most beautiful homes in the city. The whole city was "at home" to the delegates, our badges being an open sesame everywhere. It was a surprise to the women of the est to find a Southern woman, a mem her of the nominating committee who staid at home because the committee met at night and she had no one to take her home. It was hard to believe that this honor which other women were aching for, was so lightly laid aside. The following newspaper extracts are appended: From address of welcome by Mrs. Fischel: "lou have heard bad re ports of our city goverment. and our city officers, but we have no skeleton in closets now, they have all been exposed. 1 ou have heard the worst of us. "They say Mrs. Robert J. Burdett changes her dress three times a day, and never appears twice in the same cos tume." "Any one who believes that the aver age club woman does not dress well, should linger in the lobby of Hotel Jef ferson about seven o'clock p. m. They might be appropriately called the smart set, so beautifully were they attired yesterday evening beautiful women wearing exquisite 'toilette." St. Louis Post Dispatch "Mrs. Sarah Platt-Decker came to the platform amidst a storm of applause Mrs. Decker spoke of the hardships the Colorado women had to endure because they happened to have the ballot. "We have been written up and written down, we have been interviewed and caricatured ." Globe-Ikmocra i . There is no uncertain note regarding the attitude of the convention on the divorce question. At some previous meeting, all former Presidents of this body wrere made honorary Presidents. The convention rescinded that action, and followed this, by placing all sa ve one on the honorary roll. Their attitude was no less marked toward a Morman woman from Utah, passing resolutions which will exclude them. The reading of reports from State Presidents dragged a little until it be-, came North Carolina's turn. When Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, President of the North Carolina Federation, came for ward, she put her arm round Mrs. Deni- son saying it scares me to death to speak." "North Carolina boasts that she sent more men to the war than any other State and no coward ever left her borders, but I know one who left last week and stands before you now. lhe report was strong and independent showing that the weakness she spoke of was physical only. Her message was: lhe men of North Carolina still believe in God, read Walter Scott and vote the straight Democratic ticket. 1 he women do as they please, and they usually please to please the men. lhe people of ISorth I aro'ia n-" rr,ii.i-;-vative n1 have their o-rvn v. yu '.! i( is' no and Wo.-t. :;it:.)ii. bxit effort t ;- I'-'V North i wi:: ;iiiii W e look their wa "North C : Las k ;'l t! t fij:Ur of the fathers pare and eue has conlldence in her own. this is her contribution to the General Federation." As she concluded her report Mrs. Pat terson turned and kissed Mrs. Denison, and the applause that followed, shook the roof. St. Louis lilohp Democrat. State ok, Ohio, City of Toledo. LrCASlGUXTY.

Counsel for the railroad took an ui peal to the Circuit Court and the appeal bond was at once given. Judjre l'lirm-U stated that if the stockholders no desired they could hold a meeting and vote on any propositions to lease the road; that if they voted to accept an offer to lease they could submit the proposition to the court, and if found satisfactory he would dismiss the receivership. And thus the matter stands at this writing. The climax came Saturday evening in the contempt proceedings ngaiiiKt the Lumberton lawyers when Judge l'eebltn ordered that the three men who made affidavits, on their own knowledge, charging the judge with drunkenness "i committed to jail for 30 days and fined $2.0 each jfor contempt this wntoiee being the limit of the law. They are K. W. Kerr of Sampson county. (C F. Cap roll of Duplin, and R. C. Southerland of Sampson. They are to be arrested today (Monday). Their only relief is through habeas corpus proceedings, and counsel will at once sne out writs before one of the judges of the Supreme Court. Previ ous to this sensational turn iii the pro ceedings, it had been agreed to remove the further hearing of the case to Cumberland county, the date being net for June 14 at Fayetteville. and that Judge George II. Drown be asked to hear the case, he to be the sole judge and pass on both the law and the evidence. So the end of this unprecedented and highly sensational case is not vet reach ed: The Democratic State Convention is only four weeks off, and as the time ap proaches interest grows iu the guberna torial contest. Canvassing the return from the counties that have chosen dele gates up to this date, a simple sum in addition shows that Major Stedmnn is unquestionably still holding the position of leading candidate, with Messrs. (ilenn, Turner and Davidson following in the order named. Some of the newspajiere and other friends of Maj. Stedman claim that he already has from 40 to o more votes than Mr. Glenn and contend that this lead will be gradually and largely increased from now on. Lieut.-iov. Turner's adherents are not making much noise, but it is plain to see that they re main hopeful of the final outcome. The race for the Lieut.-Governorsliip is also proving to be most interesting, and is confined now to Col. George L. .Mor ton of New Hanover and Judge Francis D. Winston of Ilertie. The friends of both apiear to be sanguine of success. The personal popularity of both gentlemen, coupled with their well known ability and fitness, is makingja.very strong can didate of each of them. " The past week has been crowded with "Commencement" events at the various colleges. That of the Anricultural and Mechanical College was one of the most successful in the history of that great and useful institution of practical educa tion. There were 37 memb'TH of the graduating class this year, upon whom the degrees were conferred ns follows; Master of Agriculture, 1 (the first tinm this degree has been conferred at the A. & M.); bachelors of agriculture, 4; bache lors of engineering; civil, "; electrical. mechanical, 12; textile, "; bachelor of seience, 1. Presd'jt inston, assisted by an able faculty, is accomplishing a work at this collece of incalculable U ne- fit to the young men of North Carolina the "poor boys" and those of limited means especially. The demand for the graduates is even greater than the siii ply, and Dr. Winston tells me that there is not a single graduate in the 1 " years of its history that is not today in l session of a desirable and profitable po sition, at some cood business in the in dustrial world. Is it anv Wonder that so maiir ts-ople refuse to credit many things that tle-y see published in the average newspajir when so many instances of misrepresen tation are constantly calling fr cornf tion? We outrht to be more careful. Now comes the case of Dr. Hyde, the eminent divine and scholarly president of Bowdoin College, who is on next Min day to preach the annual Commence ment sermon at Trinity College. Several weeks ago a North Carolina pajer charge him with uttering sentiments, in an address at Yale Collage, that were alleged to smack strongly of skepticism and heterodoxy. Other pajs-rs copied it and some of them denoum-ed him the authorities of Trinity for si-Lvtintf "such a man" to preach to N. C.J bys, S.C Those who know Dr. Hyde or are familiar with bis career knew the asser tions were false and based upon minn-p-resentation. Dr. T. N. I vie, editor oi the Raleigh Christian Ad vocal was one of these. So he wrote to Hr. Hyde and a few days ago received jut sum answer as he expected. In this letter Dr. Hyde explains how the report origi nated "through the absurd statement of a reporter who seized upon one of four "illustrations" (omitting the others and ignoring nine-tenths of the adorerf entirely) and "in an exaggerate! form published it as the sum and substance o the discourse," thus completely mis'l'- resenting thei speaker. lhe i;ac-t'u4 riate address at Trinity will le delivery Tuesday, June 0. by Dr. F.
