THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1906 ; : : : : . r "N The Gold Leaf. ESTABLISHED 1881. BY THAD R. MANNING. THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1900. PUBLIC ROADS AGAIN. The Cold Leaf is publishing this weeek a communication from its es teemed friend Capt. John Sharp, who says the times, circumstances, and conditions of matters pertaining to the welfare of Vance count' call for the selection of an entire new Hoard of County Commissioners." In a personal note accompanying his -ommunioation, Capt. Sharp nays also: "I would like to see a Board to consist of yonug, active business men who would get on their horses and ride over the county and see how very 'unprogessive' are the parties charge of road working. Williams boro township and Townesville roads have not been worked by anyone for at least ' years. I wish the County Comissioners would come over and see and not invite ridicule on their supineness by having some one to puff them in the papers." Hetween Capt. Sliarp and ourself there is no quarrel if then? is any difference of opinion. We have the welfare of Vance county as much at heart as he or any othereitizen of the county. Hut in justice to ourself as well as others we mus take some notice of what he says. The editor of the (ioi.n Leak wrote the article about public road work in last week's paper. Jle did it of his own motion, without intimation or suggestion from the County Commissioners, or any individual member of the Hoard, and if ridicule has been invited on thoir pupiiieuess 13' the article in question we alone are responsible. And we want to say further that when the editor of this paper is the writer, neither the County Commis sioners nor us good a man as Capt. Sharp himself could be guilty of "having some one to puff them in the papers" if we did not feel and believe the truth and righteousness of what we say in dealing with public ques tions. We went out on some roads which have been recently worked and saw for ourself. We wrote about the work -as it impressed us, even saying they had been "wonderfully im proved," extravagantly' ns that may seem to certain folks, and for what we said we have neither retraction nor apologies to make. True, we rode with Chairman Amos and referred appreciatively to his in terest and efforts in behalf of secur- want to go to the expense of hiring a team. J laving previously expressed a desire to see what they were doing, when talking about the road work, both Mr. Amos and Mr. Swain signi fied a willingness to take us out any time it suited our convenience. When we got ready to go we called on Mr. Amos to make good his promise and ho did. Jle may have suspected that we would "put it in the pajer," but he is exonorated from the accu sation ot"h;iving some one to puff them in the papers." Hut, as we said at the outset, be tween Capt. Sharp and ourself there is no quarrel and "thar aint." A Uood Complexion. A good complexion it impoamble with the stomach out of order.

Edison, the renowned inventor, is at Lincolnton with a party of friends and makes the inter esting announcement that, after a search of two years bv a number of prospectors working "for him in the mountain counties of North Carolina the rare metal cobalt, w ith which he will be able to rebate the weight of his new battery .",() per cent., lias been found and he is much encouraged. Cobalt heretofore has only been found in Germany and what little Edison lias used has been imported. It has lately been found in the following North Carolina counties: Mitchell, Wake, Jackson, Clay, Catawba, Lin coln and Gaston. Mr. Edison declares cobalt will revolutionize automobil mg by reducing the weight of his storage battery 50 per cent. 1 Wa5 Wasting Away. "I had been troubled with kidney dieae lor the last five years," writes Robert R. Watts, of Salem, Mo.

Company Formed to Construct Im mense Power Plant at Eagle Falls, on Roanoke River, to Furnish Elec trical Current to Raleigh, Durham, Oxford and Henderson $5,000,000 Capital Involved. Raleigh News and Observer, 20th. Mr. It. W. Lassiter, president of the Frist National Bank of Oxford, is hi Italeigh in compauy with Mr. O. T. Smith, of the Westinghouse Elec tric Company, of New York, in con nection with a proposed introduction of electrical power into the city from the plant of an immense corporation organized at Richmond last Sat urday to develop the water power at Eagle Falls, on the Roanoke River, just across the North Carolina line in Virginia. The corporation, the organizers of which are Messrs. Henry G. Murray, of Haltimore.Paul T.Brady,financial manager of the "Westinghouse Com- Runy, of New York.Henry A. Root, a ew York captalist, Oliver Todd Smith, of the electrical department of the Westinghouse Compauy, and Mr It. W. Lassiter. will have a cap ital of $5,000,000' and propose to erect a plant which will have a steady capacity of production of 20,000 horse-power with the ability at cer tain times of producing possibly as much as 50,000 horse-power. Pre liminary to the construction of the electrical plant proper there will be erected across the Roanoke river an immense (bim, the construction of which alone will involve the expend iture of two million dollars. Mr. Lassiter says that the construction work to be immediately undertaken by the company will mean the invest ment of at least three million dollars. The purpose of the visit of Messrs. Lassiter and Smith is to investigate the possibilities of placing the power of the company in the cities of Ral eigh, Durham, Oxford and Henderson. If these four cities can take the pow er to be produced the lines of the company will be run into North Car olina; if not, into Norfolk where there is ample assurance that all the pow er it can furnish will be taken. Hy coining to North Carolina, Mr. Las siter explained that the cost of wir ing will be reduced one half, since the distance on the circuit to the North Carolina points is sixty and that to Norfolk one hundered and twenty miles. Mr. Lassiter, who arrived yester day, stated in conversation with a News unci Observer representative that he had every reason to hope and believe that the company would secure sufficient assurances of con tracts to justify the sending of its. power into North Carolina. The great Durham factories, the Raleigh cotton mills and the street car sys tems of both cities, as well as the manufacturing plants of Henderson and Oxford are expected ultimately to become consumers of thenewcm pany as well as members of smaller enterprises in all of the towns men tioned. Mr. Smith who arrived on an early train this morning, and Mr. Lassiter will spend a large part of today in meeting representative manufacuring men and others in Raleigh, who are interested in the power question, form and adequate supply of elec trical power such as that proposed to be furnished are manifold and of a sort to make for an increased pros perity in the manufacturing and other enterprises now dependent on coal as a means of power.

Seventeenth Annual State Conven tion Held in Chapel Hill-Officers Elected for the Ensuing Year. The seventeenth annual State con vention of the North Carolina Rranch of the King's Daughter's and Sons was held at Chapel Hill, May 16th, lTth and 18th. From both a busi ness and a social standpoint,the con vention was one of the most delight ful, comprehensive and satisfactory ones ever held. There were quite a goodly number of delegates, twenty two Circles being represented from different sections of the State. One of the special features of the meeting was a heart to heart talkmade,every day at noon, by Mrs. Margaret Hot tome, of New York, the president and founder of the order. The subject of her talk on Wednesday was, "Mary Sat at Jesus' Feet;' Thursday, "And There Wo Saw the Giants;" Thurs day evening. "And I Will He Your Guide." On Wednesdav, at 3:30 o'clock Miss Libby, Mrs". Hottome's secretary, gave a beautiful talk, the subject of which was: "She Hath Done What She Could." The music at all the services, which were held in the Presbyterian church, was verv pretty and appropriate. Judge Janies Mac Rae delivered an address on "The Charities of the Count rv," on Wed nesday evening. The report from the Hospital Circle of Wilmigton was received with much enthusiasm, and as shown in the reports the work there compared very favorablv with the reports of other Circles through out State. After the convention ad journed, Mrs. Kluttz entertained the delegates and other menbers of the convention at a beautiful reception at which the music was furnished bv the University orchestra. The cen tral council of "King's Daughters and Sons" have alwavs helifthmr annual meeting in New York and was composed of only ten members. Now each State has a representative. Mrs. Burgwyn was elected State delegate and went from Chapel Hill to the con vention which was held on Mondav, Tuesday and Wednesday at Wheel ing. West Virginia. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Secretary-Mrs. W.H. S.Burgwvn, oneldon. " Treasurer-Mrs. J. H. Bridgers, of Henderson, RecordiuggeG.retary Miss Shaw.of Rockingham.

Sands, Wilmington; Miss Alice G Wilson, Chapel Hill. Changes Demanded. "The Times, Circumstances and Con ditions of Matters Pertaining to the Welfare of Vance County Call for the Selection of an Entire New Board of County Commissioners," Says Capt. Sharp. Emtob Gold Leaf: The times.circum cum stances, and conditions of matters pertaining to the welfare of Vance county call for" the selection of an entire new Board of County Commissioners. If they are too thoroughly entrenched at pres ent to be overthrown in the approaching election, then we are only a little ahead of the times, but a step has been taken in the right direction and their departure fronxoffice will only be deferred until a more convenient season, when the voters of the county can have time to look thorough into the matter. The sooner our people recognize the fact that the offices of County Commissioners Bhould be filled by young, progressive business men, the sooner will this county take its place among the most thrifty coun ties in North Carolina. It is largely due to the progressive spirit of the young men of Henderson that that town hat improved her thor oughfares. Let tin n try their hands on the county thoroughfares. A young man in the country if entrusted with the power to act will be just as active in the interest of the affairs ia the country as were the young men of Henderson. Some of the young men are magistrates why not elect thern commissioners? Care should be taken in selecting the Huccessora to this entire Board of County Commissioners to see that the persons chosen are not dominated by any one man power, in Henderson or out of it. Place this trust in the hands of active men, men who can tour the county and take in its needs, men who, while dis charging their duty peaceably and con scientiously and while giving an ear to suggestions must calmly act ou their own judgment, disregarding the enemies they may make or the importunities of self interest and a desire to gain popularity. Duties well performed in the Board of County Commissioners will entitle that member or those members to honors higher up. And he will deserve and should receive the highest commendation from his fellow citizens who-will make the highways smooth and agreeable that neighbors can meet of tener together; that children may have easy journeys to the school house; that our churches may be well filled on Sunday; that the life of our vehicles and the lives of our animals may he prolonged. Such a consummation is devoutly to be wished. Judging a tree by its fruit, looking over the past what can we expect from the present Board? We are led to these reflections by read ing in your last issue a very nice letter from a correspondent who has I scarcely think troubled himself to visit this end of the county. It's possible that being an enthusiastic admirer of the Board and the Chairman in particular he has heard the mutterings of disapprobation at the action of the present Board and has been expecting an open attack upon them as officials only. A voter has a perfect right to criticise an official. If his criticism is unjust he will do the author of the criti cism greater injury than the capable and serviceable official whose action has been assailed. It happens that these of ficials ha ve been called to account by a body of men, whose report to the court appears also in your last issue alongside with the article highly commending the present Board. This is an official report from the highest officials of any county, State or of the United States. What of ficial in this entire country is superior to r sen; yuur Listen Benjamin Farrer No. 813 Locust St., Camden, N. J. writes:-"I was living in Norfolk, Va. six years ago. At that time I had the worst case of catarrh I ever saw. My breath was very bad, the sense of smell was almost entirely gone. I had headaches nearly all the time; and my stomach would not retain rny food. A two months treatment of Doctor Bennett's NEW LIFE cured me; and I have not suffered any more of that old disease ence I took New Life. " J.

The Grand Jury at the last term of court gave much space to a discussion of the condition of the county roads, closing with these words to the court: "We recommend to the County Commissioners that they pay more at tention to the county roods." That was patting their dereliction ' of dnty very mildly. Let him who disputes this assertion of mine before replying to me, I say let him go to Parham's bridge and see for himself the utter incapacity ot a Board who planned, accepted and paid for an inaccessible and utterly useless approach to Parham's bridge. Let him pursue his journey thence to Williamsboro, thence over almost impassable roads to Townesville none of which hav& been worked for from two to three years. "Tis true this section is not represented on the Board. And I am very curious to know if the roads leading to the coun try homes of the present members of the Board have been so thoroughy ignored from two to three years. I am attacking no man or set of men; we need better roads, the money is in the bank to improve them even to a limited extent, yet all this dry season the roads mentioned above were execrable. You may guess what they were in the winter. Now to have the affairs of the county better understood, it's my judgment that we should have a new deal and an entire new Board. I would not knowingly do or say any thing that would needlessly offend any one of God's creatures.it matters not how humble or high his position. But if in these strenuous times an official, it matters not what his duties, earns ; an implied reprimand for dereliction tod uty, the Usefulness of that official is ended and he should make way for a better man. I repeat the man must be utterly ignored. The officer must be energetic, intelligent, discreet and just to all sec tions of the county. If after being tried he does not measure up to the require ment there are others who should have a trial and when the right official has been found hold fast to him. My own business requirements are too exacting to admit of my going among the people to impress my views upon them. I have given a plain statement which can only be verified by personal observation. If the county decides best to continue in of fice the present Board, I will bow with meek submission to their decision, trust ing that at no distant day the voters may be brought to view this matter from my standpoint. JOHN II. SUA nr. Relief is Possible. It is possible to obtain relief from chronic indigestion and dyspepsia by the use of KO DOL for dyspepsia. Some of the mosthope less cases of long standing have yielded to it. It enables you to digest the food you eat and exercises a corrective influence, building up the efficiency of the digestive organs. The stomach is the boiler wherein the steam is made that keeps up your vitality, health and strength. KODOL digests what you eat. Makes the stomach sweet puts the boiler in condition to do the work nature demands of it gives you relief from digestive disorders, and puts you ia shape to do your best, and feel your best.
