THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. The Gold Leaf THURSDAY, DEC. 13, 1000. Tribute to Samuel Spencer. Voting Trustees and Board of Di rectors in Joint Meeting Adopt Minutes to Be Printed in Press Along Route of Southern Rail way. Washington, D. '., Doc. J.M a joint meeting of the voting'.trustees and the board of directors of the Southern Railway Company held at its office in Washington, D. C, on .Sunday, December, 2nd, 1906, im mediately after the funeral service of Samuel Spencer, late president of tin; company, there was present: Alex ander li. Andrews, first vice-president, presiding; J. Pierpout Morgan and (ieorge F. Baker, voting trustees, and the following directors: Joseph Bryan, Samuel M. Inmau, Adrain Iselin, Jr., Edmund D. Randolph, James T. Woodward, William W. Fin ley and Charles Steele. The following minute was adopted to be entered on the recordsand pub lished at length in the press upon the lines of the Southern Railway: "Samuel Spencer, born in Columbus, Oa., March 2, 1H47, died Nov. 29, 1 liOO, near Lawyers Stat ion, Virginia, upon the railroad of the Southern Railway Company, of which he was the first and only president. The personal qualities of Mr. Spencer; his integrity in heart and mind; his af fectionate and genial disposition; his loyal and courageous spirit; his un tiring devotion to duty; his persistent achievement of worthy ends; and his comradeship on the field of battle of affairs and of manly sport combined to establish him in the loving regard of hosts of friends in every section of his crountry, and nowhere more securely than in the affection of his fellow-workers in the service of the Southern Kailway Company. The importance of his service to this com pany is a matter of common knowl edge throughout the railroad world; but the character, the extent, and the consequence of that service nre and can be appreciated at their full worth only by his associates now gathered here to attest their high estimate of his life and work. "Upon June 1 8th, 1 HrM, on thecom pletion to the Richmond terminal, a re-organization conceived by J. Pier pont Morgan and conducted by his partner, Charles II. Coster, the first meeting of the Southern Railway ( 'ompany was called to order at Rich mond by Samuel Spencer as presi dent In that calender year, the Southern Railway Company embrac ed 4,;JJ)1 miles of road, with 023 lo comotives and 1 'J,G'.)4 cars, which car ried 3,427,858 passengers and (5, 073,750 tons of freight and earned 10,043,298. In the last fiscal year, the Southern Railway system embrac ed 7,515 miles of road with 1,429 lo comotives and 42,110 cars, which carried 11,063,550 passengers and 27,339,337 tons of freight, and earn ed 53,041 ,438. The number of em ployes had increased from 1G,718, June 30th, 1895, to 37,003 June 30, 190G. and the wages paid from 0, 712,790 to 21,189,920. The full detail and impressive character of this remarkablo advent, too extended for present recital, are exhibited in the masterly communication which upon February 1st, 190G, Mr. Spencer ad dressed to Messrs. J. V. Morgan & Co., as the basis of the development and general mortgage. "In this progress every step had been initiated and conducted by Mr. Spencer with the cordial concurrence of the voting trustees and the board of directors, and it is significant of the conservative and cautioned posi tion of Mr. Spencer and his support- ers, and this phenomenal enlargment of the system and its business was not made the basis of any increase of stock or even of any increase in divi dends beyond the amount contem plated and stated in the plans of 1893 with reference to the properties orig inally re-organized. Every dollar that could be borrowed under Presi dent Spencer's management, was put into the propertj' in the effort to en able it to meet the every increase in demands of the vigorous and wonder ful growth of the South and its in dustries. The mighty fabric, which for 12 years he had been molding, must continue under others to devel op and to improve in the service that shall render to the public, but never can it cease to bear the impress, or to reveal the continuing impulse of the master mind cf its first presi dent. In the height of his usefulness and Ins powers he has been called away, but the inspiration of the shin ing example and his lofty standards must ever animate his successors. "To many corporations conducting the commerce of the country as well as to the Southern Kailway, did Mr Sneneer render invaluable service and all of them will share in our sense of loss and personal grief. As their chosen spokesman in the tremendous agitation culminating in the congre gational action of 1900, his mastery of his subject, his dignity of bearing and his integrity of character com mand the confidence and approval of t he vast interests whose constitution ill rights it became his duty to assert and to protect. To the great public not less than to the commercial in terest did he recognize his obligation. How well he conceived, how admir ably he performed that duty, was ind i cated in the last of his public address- ,es, ms last message to his mends m the fcoutn, delivered at Montgomery. Ala., on October 25th, 1900, an ad dress wnicli deserves wide circulation and close consideration, not only in his own South that he loved so well, but throughout the whole country which he had learned to know far better than most of its citizens wher ever born, llis chosen career has closed but the wisdom and the virtue that characterized that career will abide as long as there shall be a re gard for duty bravely done and for high service gallantly rendered. "To his family we extend our deep and most respectful sympathy and our assurance that for them, as well as for his associates, honor, and hap- !)iness will ever result from their re ation to Samuel Spencer, that just and upright man and officer."

Figman And an exceptionally large Company of OVER HALF Big PRICES 50c, North Carolina at Boston. Wilmington Meajengflr. The North Carolina exhibit at the food fair recently held in Boston at tracted a great deal of attention. From those who examined it have come nothing but words of commen dation and admiration, many or them accompanied by expressions of surprise that such things could come out of this state. Many persons at tending the fair matte a point of thorough investigation of the dis play and still others went to the fair for the sole purpose of seeing it. There were hundreds who, after see ing what our state had on exhibition as examples of the possibilities of farming and trucking and mining, applied to Messrs. Uruner and lsnm ley for the fullest information on the subjects represented iu the display. What they saw and learned was a revelation to them. This display before the New England people of what the progressive agriculturists and miners of our 6tate are doing has done more to advertise her re sources in these lines and to attract attention to her as a home for im migrants than anything that has been done by our people. As an evidence of the success of the exhibit both as to its character and the good results likely to flow from it, we give here extracts from a let ter written by a prominent citizen of Boston to parties in this city. This gentlemen visited the fair for the ex press purpose of xaming the North Carolina exhibit. After such exami nation and conversation with Messrs. Bruner and Brimley, he wrote in part as follows: The exhibit is certainly the finest single exhibit in the whole building, and is very attractive and instruct ive. 1 lie exhibit is in a on the second floor. large room If last night was a fair example, immense crowds are visiting the fair, and there is no doubt that a great many people visit the North Caro lina "exhibit. I Talked with Mr. Bruner and Mr. Brimley, and they appeared well satisfied with the re sults. They say that people come to them who have come to the fair with a particular intention of seeing these exhibits and that many of these people talk to them and ap pear to be seeking definite infor mation. They say further that every day there are some who are so favorably impressed they express the opinion that they are likely to go to North Carolina The exhibit is beautifully and effectively arranged, showing pro ducts of North Carolina both mine ral and vegetable in a way which I feel sure will take a good many peo ple in this part of the country by surprise. It is very easy frem the ex hibit to appreciate the great variety of products and also to easily make out which part of the state is suitable for gardening and which part for mining. The North Carol 'oa exhibit is the only state exhibit at the food fair and. n I said above, it in far the Beauty Chorus $1.00, $1.50. Evervt of the Season. finest of any single exhibit.

The New York Evening Post be lieves that the President's order dis missing negro soldiers from the ser vice was withheld until after election, lest its earlier promulgation should have caused negroes to vote against Republican nominees, especially the President's son-in-law. Perhaps all our readers do not re alize what an inportant factor the negro voter has now become in the Northern and "Western States. Ac cording to the census of 1900, negroes of voting age in some of these states were as follows: California 3,711 Colorado 3,215 Connecticut 4,576 Delaware 8,374 Illionis 29,702 Indiana 14,186 Iowa 4,441 Kansas 14,695 Massachusetts 10,456 Michigan 5,193 New Jersey 21,474 New York 31,425 Ohio 31,235 Pennsylvania 51,668 Since 1900 there has been a steady flow of negro voters from South to North, and the probability is that the number in each of the States named has considerably increased in six years. With the "white vote anything like evenly divided in any of these States, it is plain to see that the negro voters would hold the bal ance of power. No wonder the Re publican party is careful how it of fends these "faithful allies." The pretty part of it is that negro en franchisement is now bothering the North far more than it is bothering the South. The chickens have gone home to roost, and they are roost ing high. Asthma Sufferers Should Know This. Foley 'e Honey and Tar ha cured many casee of asthma that were considered hope less. Mrs. Adolph Bueaing, 701 West Third St., Davenport, Iowa, writes: ''A severe cold contracted twelve yearn ago was neg lected until it finally grew into asthma. The beat medical skill available could not give me moie than temporary relief. Foley's Honey and Tar was recommended and one ..fifty cent bottle entirely cured me of asthma which had been growing on me for twelve years. - If I had taken it at the start I would have been saved years of suffering."
