Doing Good Work.
The Gold Leaf had pleasure in
commending the macadam street
work done by Mr. Robert Lowe
Peters, under the intelligent and skill
ful direction of Mr. .1. R. Gibson, and
it was glad when the contract for
the granolithic sidewalks was award
ed to him. The work is progressing
nicely and Mr. Gibson seems to be
giving the town as good a job in this
as he did in the other. When our
sidewalks are finished Henderson
will boast as fine streets as far as the
work goes as any town in the State.

night. To all appearances he was
well and hearty- when the household
retired but was found dead next
morning. Heart failure superinduced
by the use of condensed milk proba
bly, was attributed as the cause of
death by the physician who was

the show may be all right he judged
it by the character of advertising

Seriously Burned.
Mr. John Renn, engineer at the
waterworks pumping station, was
the victim of a serious and painful
accident Saturday which came very
iipnr raiisim? him to lose his evesifirht
if not his life. He had used kerosene
oil in cleaning the boiler which caused
o-ns to form inside. Unaware of the
presence of this deadly element he
starved to go inside with a lighted
candle. Approaching the entrance
there was a terriftic explosion the

Mr Rnv Robertsou. assistant at

POWELL-HARRIS.
Mr. Henry T. Powell and Miss Cailla
Harris Plight Their Troth at Hy
men's Altar Marriage a Quiet Home
Affair.
The marriage of Mr. Henry T.Pow
ell and Miss Carlia Harris which oc
curred on Wednesday morning,
October 18th, took not a few of their
friends by surprise. It was known
that they were to be married soon
but the interesting event had not
been anticipated quite so early. It
was a quiet home affair only mem
bers of the immediate families and a
few special friends being present.
Rev. A. G. Dixon, former pastor of
the Methodist Protestant church,
performed the ceremony.
Both young people are well known
and very popular. Mr. Powell is a
member of the Hendereon bar and is
a young man of bright mind and
promising future who enjoys the con
fidence, friendship and esteem of all
who know him. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (Jeorge li.
Harris and is a young lady of lovely
character and attractive personality,
loved and admired by a wide circle
of friends.
Immediately after the marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Powell left on an ex
tended Northern tour visiting the
principal cities and Canada. Upon
their return they will occupy their
residence on Charles street as soon as
it is completed. Mr. Powell recently
bought the Charles Stainback place
which he is having remodeled and
painted anew.

Rev. A. R. Shaw Accepts Call to
Charlotte.
Rev. A. R. Shaw, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. Portsmouth Va.,
having accepted a call to the Tenth Ave
nue church, Charlotte, N. C. asked his
congregation to concur -with him in a
request to Presbytery to dissolve the
pastoral relation. The congregation
met last Sunday morning and adopted
the following resolutions:
hereab, Our beloved pastor and his
faithful wife have been called from our
midst to another field of usefulness, and
wishing to testify our appreciation of
their work among us, be it
Jlesolved, That this church loses in the
Rev. A. R. Shaw a man of acknowledged
piety, ability and earnestness, and in his
wifea consecrated co-worker, both of
whom are justly beloved and respected
by this church and the community irre
spective of denomination; that while we
feel our I03S deeply, we believe our pastor
has acted under divine guidance, and we
follow him with our prayers for (iod's
richest blessing t.pon him in his work.
Jtesolred, That at his request, we unite
with him in asking Norfolk Presbytery
to dissolve the pastoral relations bet ween
himself and this church.
That these resolutions be spread upon
the church records and a copy be sent to
Mr. Shaw.
The Presbytery of Norfolk met last
Monday and dissolved the pastoral rela
tion. One of the commissioners from the
Portsmouth church stated to the Presby
tery that he desired to testify to the
great help Mrs. Shaw has been to her
husband in his work, "the congrega
tion feels that it is losing two pastors
instead of one, in the departure of Mrs.
Shaw with her husband."
Mr. Shaw was former pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Henderson. He
is a native of this State and his friends
will be glad that he returns to North
Carolina. Mr. Shaw expects to he in
Charlotte the first of December.
Doctors Said He Would Not Live.
reter FrjT, Woodruff, Pa., writes: "After
doctoring for two years with the best physi
cians in Waynesburg, and still gettingworse
the doctors advised me if I had any business
to attend to I had better attend to it at
once, as I could not possibly live another
month as there was no cure for me. Foley's
Kidney Cure was recommended to me by a
friend, and I immediately sent ray son to the
store for it, and after taking three bottles I
began to get better and continued to improve
until I was entirely well." Melville Dorsey,
Druggist.

The November Pearson's.
Pearson's Magazine for November con
tains an unusual collection of br:ght
short stories and clever articles for the
long indoor evenings.
First, there is Lawrence Perry's deep
sea story, "The Duel of Two Ocean
Tramps," a tale of storm and stress and
spume and the creaking of iron hulls and
men's consciences. "The Shirker" is a
capital Esquimaux Dog yarn, full of the
human interest that has made Kipling's
animals immortal. "The Great Seal of
England" is an exciting link in the "Bur
glars' Club" series; just as "How Kid
Broke Training" is a vivid chain in the
new gentleman prize-fighter character,
who appears now and then in this mag
azine. Then, there is our bandit friend,
"Don Q.," and three other stories: a
ghost story, an automobile story and a
funny story about George Harlis
Charles Battell Loomis's new character.
Besides, there are six special articles:
one on Richard Mansfield, another. ' The
American Diplomat in Foreign Eyes;'"
"A Sailor ot f ortune " ana "ine mory
of the Y. M. C. A." "Night in a Marconi
Station" is a vivid pen picture of the
work among chained lightning in the
interior of that most holy of holies a
wireless station. "The Casuality Roll of
Peace" will interest you perhaps even
more than anything else. Read this,
by Rene Bache, the juggler of statiscal
figures into 6tories. You will be inter
ested. Full of Tragic Meaning
are these lines from J. H. Simmons, of Casey,
la. Think what might have resulted from
his terrible cough if he had not taken the
medicine about which he writes: "I had a
fearful cough, that disturbed my nighfsrest.
I tried everything but nothing would relieve
it until I took Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which com
pletely cured me." Instantly relieves and
permanently cures all throat and lung dis
ease; prevents grip and pneumonia. At

A Word About Money.
Our subscribers will bear witness that
we do not often call on them for money
through the paper, and not at all except
daring the season when everybody is
supposed to have money. We are not
always ding-donging at them to pay up
and they know that when we do call on
them we mean it. But we must have
money to run our business. We have
obligations to be met like other people
and these require the ready cash. In go
ing over our books we find that some of
our good friend 8 have allowed their sub
scription to get too far behind. In this
perhaps we are as much to blame as they
are. However, this is a request to all
those who are in arrears to pay up. Do
not wait for a statement but come in
and leave a little money with us to lubri
cate the machinery of business. e can
not send the paper longer to anyone who
owes for two years or more unless they
pay up.
We have quite a number of subscribers
in distant States and in distant counties
of this State, who cannot come to the
office. We ask those to send us a remit
tance at once. The figures on your ad-
aress label indicate the time to which
your subscription is paid. For instance
Id Oct. '04, shows that you owe for one
year. If in arrears the amount may be
ascertained without making enquiry at
the office. When remittance is made the
figures are changed showine the date to
whatever time paid for. Examine your
label and see that proper credit is given.
A Guaranteed Cure for Piles.

standing, in G to 14 days. First application
gives ease and rest. 50c. If your druggist

Glorious October.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
Glorious October, the red leaf
mouth is here again. This is the
month of matchless charms when hill
aud dale, mountain and glen are all
covered with nature's great kaleido
scope of beauty; and when -the. Qol
breezes of gladsome autumn tnu6 re
mind us to say farewell to sultry
summer and welcome the bracing at
mosphere of fall and winter. It is the
joyous harvest time when he who has
faithfully and laboriously tilled the
soil since the opening of the spring
can now realize the results of his
year's exertions and rejoice in the
plenty that comes to him who has
been diligent in the business to which
he has for months given thought and
labor. With the chatting groups of
children who go running over the
hills and sun-tanned toilers in the
ripened harvest fields there is glad
ness and joy in glorious October.
One other charm about this good
month of October is the fact that it
is the busiest month in the year. For
the most part there is less hindrance
by reason of heat or cold or rain;
and so the round of toil goes on un
disturbed. Then there are fewer hol
idays in October than any month.
The whole blessed sunshiny days are
given to busy work and the results
of this month count more for the
people, perhaps, than of any other
month of the year. Again we say
Glorious October, and good cheer to
all the land throughout this most
delightful month.

A Splendid Idea.
A new idea in a Cough Syrup is advanced in
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. Besides
containing Pine Tar, Honey and other valu
able remedies, it is rendered laxative, so that
its use insures a prompt and efficient evacu
ation of the bowels. It relaxes the nervous
system, and cures all coughs and colds,
croup, whooping cough, etc. A red clover
blossom and the Loney bee is on every bottle
of the Original Laxative Cough Syrup Ken
nedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. An ideal
remedy for children. Mothers praise it. It is
best for all. Sold at Parker's Two Drug
Stores.

GCLDES NUGGETS FOR SALLOW PE0PU
OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT.
lasengers Indigoant at Seaboard's
Special Train Service to Raleigh Last
Thursday Schedules and Wihc
of Patrons Utterly Ignored.
If outraged feelings and indigna
tion freely expressed by persons who
were passengers on the Seaboard's
special train from Bennehan, Oxford
and Henderson to Raleigh last
Thursday had not been impotent
uuder the circumstances they would
not have tolerated the miserable
treatment to which they were sub
jected The train was scheduled to
leave Henderson 7.50. Several hun
dred persons who were promptly on
hand bought tickets to Raleigh. But
no train came. It was reported late
how late nobody knew. Finally it
was given out that the train was two
hours late in being taken from here
to Bennehan, the starting point.
Whose fault this was we do not
know. It was said the engineer had
overslept himself. But of the truth
of this we do not know. At any rate
it was after ten o'clock when the train
reached Henderson. Eight coach
es all well filled stood on the tracks
here aud waited. It was twenty-five
minutes after ten o'clock when these
were hooked on at the coal chute to
the engine and four coaches brought
down from Bennehan and Oxford and
the train pulled out for Raleigh
nearly one hour and a half after it
was scheduled to arrive there.
Foreseeing the end several persons
got disgusted and gave up the trip,
demanding their money back. Others
regretted that they did not do the
same thing when they found that
they were to be subjected to still fur
ther outrage and inconvenience. Ar
riving at Raleigh the train was side
tracked at Johnson street station.
Announcement was made that the
three rear coaches would be cut off
and all passengers were ordered to
go forward into the other coaches,
already uncomfortably crowded. And
there on a siding between two rows
of box cars, the passengers herded
like cattle and standing in the aisles
crowded almost to the point of suffo
cation the train was held forty-five
minutes. No one knew how long the
train would be there or for what pur
pose it had been stopped and expect
ed every minute for it to move. It
may nave been all rig tit to hold it
for the two Northbound trains to
pass but there was no excuse for cut
ting off the coaches and subjecting
the passengers to still furtherdiscom
fort until time for the train to. move
if then. If announcement had been
made that the train would be there
half an hour or more those persons
who wished to do so could have walk
ed across to the capitol and taken
the street car there for the fair
grounds. But then the fares paid to
the street car company would have
been lost to the railroad, and maybe
this had something to do with with
holding all information.
It was a quarter to one o'clock
when the Henderson special finally
emptied its passengers, disgusted and
disappointed, at the union station-
three hours and three-quarters after
the time advertised to put them
there. Most persons who went to
Raleigh on that train Thursday went
for the express purpose of seeing the
President. V hen they readied the
fair grounds he had gone and the
dust had settled where he had been
along. Was there not cause for out
raged feelings, disappointment and
indignation at such treatment?
Letter to Mayor Southerland.
Henderson, N. C.
Deak Sih: You are so well known that
the people have put you in office. They
knew whatthey were about: They didn't
do it by accident.
Wouldn't it be a handsome thing to do
to paint your house? It is a nice house,
has a good substantial commodious
look, and isn't rusty at all, you kuow;
but a fresh coat of paint would make it
so bright! it's a pity not to.
Devoe is beautiful pamt,but the beauty
of it is: it lasts so long much more than
adorn an already interesting and at
tractive edifice. House out-buildings
and fences. There isn't a man or a wo
man in town, who wouldn't see them
and make some pleasant remark.
Of course, you will paint the town pro
perty; nothing would mark your admin
istration more, in the eyes of the people;
and, having done the same thing at
home, it is the most natural thing in the
world to do it for them.
Yours truly.

Mr. Smart (hoarsely) I guess so;
but I'll bet it doesn't contract itself
as much as we contract it.

Following Advice.
'"If you have anything to do with med
icines at ail be pretty sure you Know
what your are taking."
Our local druggist, W. W. Parker, says
this is a strong point in favor of their
valuable cod liver oil preparation, Vinol.
Everything it contains is plainly printed
on the bottle, therefore it is not a patent
medicine.
Yinol contains iu a highly concentrated
form all of' the medical elements of cod
liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods'
livers, but without a drop of oil or greese
to nauseate and upset the stomach.
This is the reason that Yinol accom
plishes such wonderful results in curing
chronic coughs, colds, bronchial and long
troubles, and there is nothing known to
medicine that will so quickly bund up
the run-down, over-worked, tired and
debilitated, or give strength and renewed
vitality to the aged, as Yinol.
Mrs. Martha Eraser of Portland, Me.,
writes: "1 was all run down trom over
work and had a chronic cough for years
I had tried so manv remedies without
help that I had lost all faith in medicine.
Mv daughter bought me a bottle of Vinol.
It simply worked wonders for me; it cured
mv cough and brought back health and
strength and I am better than I have
been for years."
We can only ask every one in Hender
son who needs such a medicine to try
Vinol on our guarantee to return their
money if it fails. W. W. Parker, Drug

Important Enterprise Projected
The North Carolina Connecting
Railway Co. Incorporated.
An Enterprise Which flay Mean Much
to Henderson and to Eastern North
Carolina--The Plan Suggested by
One of Henderson's lost Prominent
Citizens.
Some two years ago, t'ol. William
H. Hood of Henderson, who has had
large experience as a surveyor and
engineer in laying out lumber and
timber plants, tram roads and rail
roads, conceived the idea that a rail
road from Itoxboro, in the county of
Person, to Spring Hope, iu the coun
ty of Nash, connecting with the four
great trunk linos in North Carolina,
to-wit, the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Seaboard Air Lino, the Southern, and
the Norfolk and Western, liesides
opening and developing one of the
best sections and running through
some of the most prosperouscouutifs
in the State, would be a paying in
vestment. Heing thoroughly convinced that
the enterprise could be made a great
success financially, he also felt that
he could do nothing which would add
more to the development of his town
and county or to the upbuilding of
the State of North Carolina, than by
urging the building of this line. He
therefore opened communication with
various persons and people in differ
ent parts of the country having
money to invest, and succeeded In
getting several capitalists interested
m his plan.
About twelve months ago he in
duced certain gentlemen of means,
namelv, Messrs. I). J. Nvsewander of
Toledo, Ohio, and I . ' W. (iunn, of
Roanoke, Louisana, to visit him in
Henderson, and to go over the
ground with him. They were great
ly pleased with the situation, and on
their return home they interested
other capitalists and men of large
experience and influence in the
scheme.
The result of Col. Hood's effdrts in
this behalf is best shown by the fact
that on last Monday a charter was
obtained from the Secretary of State
of North Carolina, incornoratinir the
"North Carolina Connecting Hailwav
Company," with an authorized capi
tal stock ot ;4.U,00.000, with power
to increase the same, and with power
and authority to survey, lay out,
construct, maintain and equip and
operate a railroad with one or more
tracks from a point at or nearSpring
Hope, in the county ot Nash, to a
point at or near the town of Kox
boro, in the countv of Person, run
ning through the counties of Nash,
Franklin, Halifax, Warren, Vance.
Granville and Person, and to build
branch lines; the length of the mnin
line being about ninety miles.
Ninety thousand dollars of the
capital stock has been subscribed for
by the following named persons, who
are also directors of the company
named in the incorporation, to-wit:
1). W. Guun, Roanoke, La.. ISO shares
S. P. Douglas, Toledo, O., ISO
I). J. Nysewander.Toledo, )., 180 "
T. F. Whittelsey, Mobile.Ala, 10
. 11. aud U. H. Hood, Hen
derson, A. C., I Hi)
Immediately upon securing their
charter the incorporators met at the
ottice ot their counsel, Mr. A. C. Zolh-
coffer, in Henderson, and organized,
and elected the following officers:
President, T. F. Whittelsev, Mobile.
Alabama.
1st Vice President. I). .1. Nvsewan
der, Toledo, Ohio.
2nd Vice President,!). W. (Iunn.
Roanoke, Louisana.
Secretary and Auditor, S. P. Doug
las, Toledo, Ohio.
Treasurer, R. II. Hood, Henderson,
N. C.
It was decided that work should
begin at once making the surveys for
the route and securing rights of
wav.
The gentlemen interested in this
enterprise are well known iu business
and financial circles, and have had
much experience 1:1 the building and
management of railroads and other
large enterprises.
Mr. T. F. W luttelsev, who has
been elected president, is at present
the general manager of the Mobile,
Jackson & Kansas City Railway
Company, and built the (ireat Relt
Line around the citvof 1 oledo, which
cost about three millions of dollars.
Mr. S. P. Douglas will take charge
of the affairs of the Company, and
will soon move his family to Hender
son.
The route of the railroad has not
as yet been decided upon, as this will
of course depend upon the survey,
but it is hoped that they may find it
to their interest to run to or through
the town of Henderson. It would
mean much for the town and com
munity, and would open a splendid
country.
The (ioLu Leak joins "iu wishing
this enterprise the greatest success,
and extends a cordial welcome to the
promoters to our town and county.
