THE HENDE11S0N GOLD LEAF THURSDAY. OCTOBER 24, 11)07. r s THE Gold Leaf. I ESTABLISHED 1881. -BY THAD R. MANNING. - TIUJHSDAY. OCT. 2i, 1907. Theue is no complaint between the people and the railroads, or rather should be none. The.v would be driven out of business utiles they mule money, and we cairt afford to do without theui now that we have be come accustomed to them. The old stajre coach tlajs were no doubt bet ter days, but "revolutions never ro backwards." Farm viile (Vh.) llr aid. No, the politicians are the only ones who have a grievance, and whether justified or not they do all the complaining. The people ;'fe not fighting the railroads. Senator Overman and Prohibition. KtateMville I,aiiJm;u k . The (jreensbaro Jtoronl thinks that "majlie Gov. Glenn merely wants to put Senator Overman on record as to prohibition since ho seems to have his eye more particularly on .Salis bury as the next object of attack in stead of Winston." It may be of some interest to our contemporary to know that Senator Overman has been on record on the temperance question since he first aspired to of fice some twenty-five yearn ago. In 1882, when he was nominated by the Democrats of Rowan county for the legislature, prohibition was the all absorbing issue, Senator Overman stumping the county for it and being pitted against the late Captain Chas. Trice, an intellectual giant. It was a battle royal and the result was in doubt to the last, but the Senator was elected by less than one hun dred majority. His record on this question has' been unvaryingly con sistent, even when it was not at all as popular as now to pronounce for prohibition. Salisbury Post. Senator Overman's friends were aware that he has been a prohibi tionist for yuus. Iiut the Senator hasn't proclaimed the fact from the house-tops and luisn't busied himself to advocate prohibition for other communities while neglecting his own. Neither did he attempt to influence the legislature toallow the towns (?) of Williams and Shore the special privilege of making liquor, an abso lutely "indefensible special privilege given these places by the Legislature of 1003, but which the Legislature of lfM)." was sensible enough to correct. The Senator maj' be too modest, but these are the fact s. He Killed a Bear. New lieni Sun Let the earth rejoice! The I'resi dent has killed a bar! The story was among the Associ ated Fress dispatches yesterday. It was snet from thecanebrakes to New Orleans to .Mr. John l'arker, by a member of the hunting party, and read as follows: "President Roosevelt killed a great big bear. Went into thicket this af ternoon!" That is all. We suppose the quiv ering telegraph wire could bear no more, since it was a big bear, and the President killed him. The Asso ciated Press editor adds: "No par ticulars were stated in the telegram." Surely none were necessary. It does not matter who went into the thicket nor what they went for, whether because the President, shot a big bear, or before he shot' him, to help to shoot him, to take him (the bear) out of the woods, or for any other reason. Of course it is impor tant to know that it was "this after noon." The story is complete with the single sentence: The President killed a great big bear. Newswspapers Forced to Increased Price of Subscription. Morperline (Mo.) Democrat. Several of the weekly newspapers of the State have increased their sub scription from $1 to .l..r)0 per year and many more will have to do so before the end of another year. This advance has become necessary on ac count of the increased cost of every thing that goes to the making of a newspaper. Paper has advanced fully o0 per cent., within the last twelve months, while type, ink and other material has gone up fully 23 per cent. Most of the weeklies in the State are published and sold at one dollar per year, which is equal to less than two cents per copy. The blank paper costs more than one half the sum, so it can be readily seen that after payingofiiee rent, salaries, post age and other expenses a newspaper with a circulation of 1,000 or less subscribers at one dollar each per year is not as good a paying piece of property as a dividend iu a gold mine.

B. Branson, of Doublin, Ga. "She has taken them (or about two years and on joys an excellent appetite, feels strong and flee pa well." That's the way Electric Bitters affect the aged, and the same happy results follow in all cases of female weakness and general debilty. Weak, puny children too, are greatly strengthened by them.

The thousands oj delicate women j i Af.r.tn l,:ir1fir '1 a Troll na tll i men, w'jo were compelled to walk from the fair grounds to the city yes terday, now know something about the rate controversy. The new law would not allow the Seaboard special trains to run back and forth as here tofore, and it was simply impossible for the street car company to handle the crowd. The biggest thing made out of the situation was the $2 per ride home charged by the hack drivers. If you itad four in your crowd it was $2, if you ha only yourself still it was ?2. The time of the equine family was valuable, you understand. One or two more such experiences will come pretty near putting the State Fair out of business The Dead Beat Doesn't Want His Btrisiness Advertised. Klkia Tiinen. A man who will make a debt and never pay it, or who will not make an honest effort to pay it, or who will make a debt that he knows ho will not be able to pay. is devoid of the sense of moral rectitude and deserves only the contempt of honest men everywhere. From a commercial standpoint a man's reputation for honesty is- his most valuable asset, and he cannot be too careful about how he preserves his good name untarnished; for blots upon it are indelible. lie may apply a coat of whitewash in the form of an occasional net of spas modic honesty, but the black stain upon his reputation shows through, the whitewash soon wears off, leav ing him as before its application, a walking advertisement of his own dishonesty. Uut the honest public is irettinir 1 ired of him and is determined that 1 he shall no longer feed upon the fruits of their honest toil. He must work and pay his debs or starve. These collection agencies are organ ized for the purpose of looking after these... leeches. One of the methods ( and the most effective one) employed in dealing with this class is to ad vertise them bold up thpir dishonest acts to public gaz-? and when one moves away to send Win reputation along after him. This method of procedure gets close after them the dead beat doesn't want his business advertised and seems productive of better results than any other meth od that has ever been tried.

Swinging through" the atmosphere U a speed estimated at twenty-tva miles an bour, the United State signal corps balloon No. 10, in wbicb Aeronauts J. 0. McCov and Gapt. Charles de F. Chandler,' of the United States signal corps, ascended at St. , Louis last evening, passed over Illinois and Indiana last night and ac-oss Ohio today and tonight probably landed in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, W. Va. The distance covered, on a straight line measurement, is aprox imately 500 miles, and the length of the voyage won for the aeronauts the Lahm cap. When the ascension was made last evening it was the intention of the aeronaut to iemain in the air all night as a test of the gas to le used by the balloons iu the international aeronautic contest, which begin on Monday. However, considering the likelihood that they might becarried a long distance, tbey went amply prepared for long flight. Provisions in tin cans, self-heating by a limeslacking device, were stored iu the basket and a number of dif ferent instruments for testing pur poses were carried. Tt was announced at the Aero club that Aeronauts McCoy and Chan dler had won the Lahm cup for dis tance flight when they passed over Gallipolis, Ohio, today. The international record estab lished by Lieutenant Lahm last year in Europe was 402 miles on a st raight line, winning for himself the James Gordon Bennett cup. He at once offered a cup to the aeronaut beating his record. The ascension was made bere at 4:10 last evening, merely as a long distance test preliminary to tne inter national aeronautical contests next week. The balloon holds 78,000 cubic feet of gas, and the two aeronauts felt confident of being able to remain in the air all nifiht. Washington, Oct. 19. The army balloon which started from St. Louis Thursday evening landed at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon about three m'i!e- fom Walton, in Roane county, West Virginia, according to a dispatch received by the signal service today from Captain Chandler who is with t he balloon. The distance traveled was about 475 miles. St. Louis, Oct. 19. The remarkable flight, of Aeronauts J. C. McCoy ami Captain Charles De F. Chandler in the army signal corps balloon No. 10 which broke the record established by Lieutenant Lahm iu Lonnon last June lias set a standard for the aeronautic international balloon contest which besigus on Monday. When tbe news was received today that McCoy and Chandler had landed safely after a flight of over 21 bours in which they covered a distance ap proximately 475 miles, there was a general feeling of. relief and deep sat isfaction iu aeronautic circles. . .

Tle following which was written by a friend at our request, was intended for publication last week but was not handed .in early enough. ,Howeyer, tbe information conveyed will be no less interesting we are sure for the slight delay in giving it to our read ers: - The Seventy-aeventh Annual Session of the Tar Itiver Baptist Association met with the First Baptist church of Hender son last week. It has been known as one of the largest Baptist Associations in the world, having a hundred churches with about eleven thousand members, and extending from Henderson to Plymouth. In the Statistical Summary of the Bap tist State Convention for 190(3 it appears that the ' Tar Kiver stands first (among the associations) in number of churches, (98); in baptisms, (716); in con tributions to State Missions. ($3,G14.71); to Home Missions. ($l,518.y6); to For eign Missions, ($2,374.35); to the Or phanage with 3,333.67; to the Aged Ministers with $ 285.10, and in total con tributions with $11,510.01." The attendance was large and enthusi astic. More than two hundred names of delegates had been forwarded to the committee, and yet on the first day there were probably fifty arrivals of those whose name had not been received. Capt. T. M. Arlington, of Hocky Mount, and Rev. A. G. Wilcox were elected Mod erator and Clerk and Treasurer respect ively. The opening sermon, by Rev. G. W. May, of Castalia, one of the younger ministers of the body, was an exception ally able and thoughtful discourse and received warm commendation from the congregation, and particularly from the older members, who appreciated the try ing situation to a young man. - The subjects of State, Associational. Home and Foreign Missions, Education, Periodicals. Temperance.Sunday-echools, Women's Work, Aged Ministers, Orphan age and Ministerial Education were ably discussed and supported by pledges of substantial aid. The Association has established , the unusual policy of undertaking no work and incurring uo obligation uiiiu ine funds are in hand to pay the bills. During this session the chairman of the Execu tive Committee reported that he had ex am1ad anmathimr more than one hun dred dollars in excess of the amount in hand, and that he would make it goad, the expenditure being without authority. Pledges were made for Associational Missions amounting to about 3.500. This is payable during next year for the work of the following year. The most exciting question during the session was that of dividing the Associa tion. Many anticipated a heated contro versy. To many in attendance the senti ment of attachment to the ojd Associa tion had come down through several generations. There live now in Hender son great-grand-children and great-great-grand-children of its old leaders. But a fine spirit of conciliation prevailed. The matter was referred to a committee com posed of Thomas M. Pittman, Rev.T. J. Tavlor, Rev. G. T. Lumpkin?, Rev. Dr. n i vfArcor and Itev. Geo. M. Duke. Their report was for the division, the churches in Franklin, Vance and Warren and possibly some churches in Nash and Halifax will constitute the old Associa tion, the remainder to form a new one. Tiia n-hnlo rtiaeiisaion was kindlv and af- fof.tinnntf and the reDort was adonted without a dissenting voice. It is likely ti.it thp First, Church, of Rockv Mount from which Moderator Arrington comes, will go with the new Association. In that event Rev. Geo. M. Duke, one of the best beloved pastors of the old Tar Kiver will enpewd him. The Executive Committee are Thomas M. Pittman. chairman; lvey Allen, secre tary; Rev. T. J. Taylor, J. M. Gardner, Kev. tr. M. DUKe, a. w. x erry, v . u. Daniel and Rev. G. V. May. The next session of the Tar River As sociation will be held with Sandy Creek church. Franklin county, on Tuesday after the fourth Sunday in October. Rev. G. M. Duke is to preach the introductory sermon, Rev. Paul Bowers, alternate. The hospitality of Henderson on this occasion was bounteous and cordial, re gardless of denominations. An excellent gentleman from one of the best country churches said before the close of the meet ing that "town people must have changed." It was a bappy occasion, the bringing together of the members of this great Asscoiation and the citizens of Hen derson in such cordial relations as must for all the future add to the esteem o! each for the other.
