THE HENDERSON GCXLD L.EAF THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1904. The Gold Leaf. ESTABLISHED 1881. BY THAD R MANNING. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, V.)0l. VOLUME TWENTY-FOUR. With this issue the Gold Leaf enters upon the twenty-fourth year of its existence. Iist week rounded out the twenty -third volume, the first issue of the pnper hn ving lieen triven to tlie puhlic UeceiiiU-r 1 ."it h, IKsl. During nil these years it has not changed hands or varied from its purpose to be a clean, honest, useful paper, having the best interests of its town, county and State at heart at nil times. In what measure we have fulfilled that purpose or how far we Ivave fallen short of it we leave it for the public to say. We take this occasion to express our grateful appreciation of the moral and financial support given us in the past and shall endeavor to merit a continuation of the same kindly con sideration in future. Further tlmn this we have no promises to make, preferring rather to let actions speak for themselves. THE RAILROADS THEMSELVES TO BLAME. A great deal is said about the feel ing against railroads and the cer tainty almost of the average jury to decide against them in a suit for damages. This is true and it is to be regretted. Rut the railroads themselves are largely to blame. Their grasping gm-d and reckless disregard of individual interests, manifesting itself in unequal and ex tortionate charges and tyrannical not brutal methods are responsible for the prejudice existing against them. By way of illustration the follow ing case is cited: A car was loaded with wood at a. point on the South ern Railway. It remained there sev eral days a week, we are told after it was loaded. The railroad suited its convenience about moving it and then not until complaint was made, giving as an excuse that their trains were loaded and they could not han dle it sooner. The car was finally hauled in here- in the midst of the -deep snow last week. Arrangements liad been made to handle the wood the WK'k before when it should have been delivered and while t lie weather was good but the consignee had to wait the good time and pleasure of the railroad, and when it did come it was impossible to get it out as expe ditiously as would have been done under more favorable conditions. Refore the time limit for holding the car expired consignee started to throw the wood out at his own risk and release the car, but this was ob jected to and stopped by the rail road. Then a charge for demurrage was made. This looked like an un reasonable demand under thecircum stances (in view of the fact above stated), and payment was refused. The car was then sealed and further delivery of the wood withheld. The railroad had the victim in their pow er and they knew if. There was but. one thing to do, pay the demurrage charges or submit to the confiscat ion or property of greater value. He preferred to be held up for the lesser amount. We understand full well that the railroads must have rules and regu lations for the conduct of their busi ness, but it is u bad rule that will not work but one way. Rut railroad rules are only made to work their way and with them it is "the public be damned," jis the late Mr. Vander bilt.whowas himself a railroad man, once exclaimed. The Southern Railroad may not be the meanest railroad in the country, although we believe it has somewhnt that reputation, but it has more ways of getting itself hated than any road we know. Kixu Cotton has more to fear from the "Wall street weevil" than its has from the boll weevil. m "King Cotton" is having a good many up and downs these days more downs than ups. It appears that Mrs. Chadwick doesn't take much stock in "frenzied finance," though she has a number of frenzied victims. "The Simple Life" may suit some folks, but Theodore Roosevelt and Tom Lawson take more to the stren uous and frenzied sort. The Greensboro Ilecord observes that the enterprises about which so much is said are generally the last to mature. The fellows who have any thing to do, do it and let some one else do the talking. The low price of cotton should in duce farmers to go in more for "hog and hominy" next-year. Raise your home supplies first and then as much cotton and tobacco as you can, and there will be no danger of overpro duction and consequent low prices. And even if prices should be low the farmer who is out of debt and has enough to live on can stand the loss a great deal better. AIT A NTED M EX AND WOMEN I.N THIS .J,.!

A nress dispatch from Jackson, Miss., dated Dec. 13th, says Gov. Vardeman made the opening speech at the cotton and corn carnival there, and after welcoming the visit ors he took occasion to ,say some things of a political nature, for which he has been severely criticised. In touching on the attitude that South ern representatives should assume in their fight against the reduction of Southern representation, Governor Vardeman said: Ami instead of going to the Congress of the I nited States and sns'ing that tlTerei no distinction made in Mississippi because of color or previous condition of servitude, tell the truth and say this: ' W'e tried for many years to live in Mis sissippi and share sovereignty and do minion with the negro and we saw our institutions crumbling, we saw the pub Fc funds squandered, we saw the civiliza tion that our forefathers had fought for passing away, and the law of self-preservation being the first law, we observed it, wo rose in the majesty and highest type of Anglo-Saxon manhood and took the reins of government out of the hands of the carpet-bagger and negro, and, so help us, from now on we will never share any sovereignty or dominion with him again.'" And this is the honest truth. Gov. Vardeman is everlastingly right, damn and denounce him as they may. Mrs. Longstreet's Book. Athmtii CoiiHlitiition. The old comrades in arms and all Southern admirers of the late General James Longstreet will learn with much satisfaction that the excellent book written by his wife and publish ed since the great commanders death, " Iee and Longstr;et at High Tide," is meeting with wide sales and widespread appreciation Already the book has taken a place among the permanent works of civil war history, and, indeed, it tills a niche in 1he literary pantheon of history that has long demanded such wort hy occupation. Mrs. Ellen Dortch Longstreet, the talented widow of this military hero of the Southern Confederacy, was pe culiarly fitted to write such a book. Not only does she possess literary genius in an unusual degree, but she possesses, what is prerequisite in a historian, the plodding, patient qual ity of getting down to the- root of fact. Her authorities are unques tionable and her use of them is con vincing in vindicating her position and end, which is to establish the truth of history for the honor of the dead soldier's name. This the author has done, and she has done it with no excess of personal or partisan zeal, notwithstanding her relation to the illustrious com mander. She maintains the judicial attitude of tin? historian mostadmir ably, fortifying her statements (if fact by the official records, by the best military authorities, and,' what is equally as valuable and interesting, by the personal test imony of General Longstreet himself. Happily, the general was at his wife's side when the bulk of this biographical history was written, jind he has made clear many hitherto disputed incidents in his martial career. The student of war history cannot afford to neglect reading "' Iee and Longstreet at High Tide." It is as the sup. of truth piercing dispell ing the miasmal mists of misrepre sentation, detraction and misappre hension. Having read it. General Longstreet w ill be mentally accorded the high and honored place" he earned in the hearts of his countrymen by valorous and faithful service of his country in its hour of supreme need. uotii the quality of his patriotism and military genius must le acknowl edged generally and generously, let i lie passions and bitterness of the past be what they may. More than this, Mrs. Longstreet's book is a beautiful memorial appre ciation of the dead soldier, contain ing many of the innumerable euloiries and tributes to his memory that ap- 1 .A I I . . .

There never was a time when the assembling of the General Assembly was so near at hand that one heard so little about the .election of the next speaker. Although that important wftiee is to be filled in about three weeks, and has been usually sought by many of the leading legislators-elect, no one can tell today who the next speaker will tie. The organization during the past week of the Southern Tress Associa tion at Atlanta, the meeting Wing partieipated in by several .orti Carolina newspaper men, is an im portant development in improving telegraph neivs service of the evening newspapers of the South. Mr. John Drewrv, president of the Kaleigl Evenins; Times, wa elected chairman of the executive committee and the active chairman of the board of di rectors. The strenuous call for moreimmi grants for North Carolina is growing In volume in certain quarters. If we are to judge by the language of some of the appeals along this line printed in some of the newspapers, anything that wears pants will be welcome L We beg to enter a protest. Tnere are "immigrants who land in this country from some of the countries of the old world who do North Caro lina a great service by locating in other States than this. We do not need nor want the riffraff of Castle Garden dumjed upon our shores there is not room 111 the most horn ogenous State in the. Union for for eign anarchists and "socialists," the very breath of whom is poisonous to our well-being and prosperity. But we do need and we will welcome de sirable classes of immigrants, be they Americans or loreigncrs and no other kind. It is therefore absolutely necessary that care and discnmina tion should be exercised bv the man agers of any concerted effort to in duce outsiders to come among us and we wish to emphasize and accen tuate the lact as forcibly as we can. The temple committee of the Ma sons, having in charge the erection of the Masonic Temple in ltaleigh met, last evening in tlie othee of Grand Secretary Drewry. Already the committee has possession of the former Mann store on West Hargett street. Lastnight thearrangements were hxed, propositions submitted and accepted which will place in its nanus ttie property of the Raleigh Savings Rank, on the corner, the site, for thetemple. Under theagreement ttie present occupants have six months in which to give possession but it is hoped that by early spring mey win irave secured other phices ior temporary abode so that work may begin. If not, then at the end ot six months it will begin. The committee spends in securing thesite 73b.O(X). It has 1()0,()0() available and desires to add f 20,000 to this, that details of the magnificent building planned may be perfected. and it is greatly encouraged at the bright prospect.' It is stated that the money in the committee's hands has increased by ludicious invest ment, and that now every dollar sub scribed has increased to more than a dollar. There were present at the meeting t.rand Master W. S. Liddell. of Charlotte; Messrs. John W. Cot- ten, ot larboro; Past Grand Master; j. ,i. xiarns, oi Henderson: S. tl Smith, of Charlotte, and Grand Sec retary John C. Drewry, of Raleigh.
