THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 190 i . The Gold Leaf. THURSDAY, NOV. 7, 1907. The Professional Loafer. Charlotte News. A sort of distorted conception of the gentleman once existed among contain classes of our people in re gard to those habits and practices necessary to the making of what was implied in the "gentleman." In the memory of even the younger genera tion the word" gentleman of leisure" was a conspicuous character a decade or soogo. This character was pro not bo numerous in some sections as balyin others, but certain it is that ten years ago the crop of "gentlemen of leisure," or, to describe them more correctly, the loafers, was far greater than it is today. Once ayoung man of good family connections with a family tree upon which some limb or other had distinguished itself in some way or other could pass year in and year out in supreme idleness and not receive any serious amount of criti cism from his neighbors. In other words, the job of loafing was consid ered, to say the least, resectable with most of the folks, and absolute ly the thing, with a few. The young "bloods-"' as they termed themselves, lived a life as free from strenuous as was possible. But as the days have passed and gone, times and customs have changed, and t he gentleman of today is entirely different from the gentle man of yesterday. Today, instead of being a disgrace for young man of social prominence and wealth to get down to manuael labor, it is decidedly honorable, and eo considered by all people whose opinions are worth consideration.. Today the young man who is not actually compelled to work in order to keep the wolf from thedoor, works because he knows that he should; be cause he feels that,thero is too much to be done for idling. True, in almost every town and city there are a few professional loaf ers. They are in (-harlot te though not in great numbers and wher ever found theyarelooked upon with diapproval. Men of today, the men who are bringing things to pass, have no time or patience for the "gentle man of leisure."" When they have positions to be filled they search for the hand that is hardened from from toil; they look for the young man who don't blush and hesitate when called upon to roll uphis sleeves and work. No better change has been wrought in this age than this. The gentle man of today is a worker, and proud that he is, and, narrowed to its last annalysis, he may scarcely lay claim to that title unless he is a worker. The Castronomic Joys of Corn Meal. Joel Chandler Harris in I'ncle II niuo' Maga zine for November But corn meal if such a rich and versatile product that lends itself to all days and all meals. For break fast it can be turned into battercakea light and luscious, or into waffles that melt in one's mouth, or into muffins which take on new sweetness in their tin boundaries; or you can have your corn in the shape'of grits, yellow with butter, of happy digesti bility. Then, for dinner, there is the corn pone, large, brown and hot from the oven, ready to be seasoned with a sauce of butter, and washed down with freshly churned butter milk, with an accompaniment of cabbage or collards, or turnip salad, or new snap-beans. If for any rea son the corn-pone is not desirable though the farmer cannot imagine anything that can take its place with a healthy and an expectant ap- Eetite there are the dumplings to fall ack on, the dumplings boiled with a mess of greens. This dish is a time and space-eaver. The dumplings should by any chance be allowed to togrowcold before serving. For sup per, there is the hoe-cake, which Bhould be of a generous thickness, and it ehould beeaten with gravy distilled from the juices of a country-cured ham; or, if you please, adish of mush and milk. And, then, the day's work being over and done with, the tired man or woman, and the children, weary with play, may fall on their couches and forget, 'in sweet and dreamless slumler, the grizzly troubes of the world. It is not to be denied, however, that the products of maize have been losing popularity in this country; they seem to be going out of fashion; they are a little too coarse for the tender throats of the generation that has come and the one that is coming. The tastes of the people. are growing somewhat different; patent medicines and pre digested foods, made of nobody knows what, 6eem to go together, and with these have come new forms of indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous diseases, and new causes of worry. There is an idea in the minds of the new genera tien that corn and all the varieties of food, all the toothsome dishes, that are derivable therefrom, are to be left to those whose tastes are common, and whose associations must be low. This, conciously or nnconsciously, is the view of a consid erable number of those who are to take np the destinies of the Republic and carry them a little way on their long journey, and this is curious, too, when we think of the nature of our political fabric. Are we to change our principles and beliefs by means of a change of diet? A Hard Debt to Pay. "I ow a debt of gratitude that can never te paid off," writes G. S. Clark, of Westfleld, Iowa, "for mr rescue from death, hv I)r King's New Discocery. Both lungs were eo eenousij anected that death teemed immi Dent, when I commenced taking Npw T) covery.

Old Fashioned Mother. .ltaleijh Evening Times. The Moore County Xes singe of "The Old Fashioned Mother." The extract, wl : we reproduce here, was written by a man who must have had such a mother as he describes. Surely no man could write so lovingly, so tenderly of women who has not been blessed by one. We quote from the Xcws: Thank God gome of us have and others have had, an old fashioned mother; not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her curlti and bustle, whose vh!: j-wcled hands have never felt the clasp of Lahy fingers, hut a dear, old fashioned, sweet, voiced mother, with eyes in which the lo ve-lijcht,shone, and brown hair threaded with eilver lying smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear hands, worn with toil, gently gu'ded our tottering steps in childhood, and smoothed our pillows in sickness, even reaching out in yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was baptized in the pearly spray of the river, lilessed is the memory of an old fashioned mother. It floats to us now, like the beautiful perfume of some woodland blossoms. The music of other voices may be lost hut the entrancing memory of hers will echo in our souls forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine on until the light from Heaven's portals shall glorify our own. When in the fitful pause of busy life our feet wander hack to the old home stead, and crossing the well-worn thresh hold, standing once more in the low, quaint room, as hallowed by her pres ence, howthe feelingof childish innocence, and dependence comes over us, and we kneel down in themottle sunshine strew ing through the Western window just where in the long years ago, we knelt by our mother's knee, lisping "Our Father." How many times when the temper lured us on has the memory of those sacred hours, that mother's words, her faith and prayers saved us from sin. Years have filled great drifts over between her and us, hut they have not hidden from our sight the glory of her pure unselfih love. We think the Nens is unjust to the woman of today. She lives more in the open, attends more social func tions and dresses more lavishly than her mother did, but if fault there is, it must not be placed at her door; it must be attributed to the time in which she lives. We find no fault with women for wearing jewels and dressing as they may desire; those are privileges of theirs. We agree .villi our contemporary, however, in all that it says regarding the women who paint. A Triumph of Science. New liern Sun, Oct. 20th. The beginuing of wireless telegra phy communication across the Atlan tic for news and commercial pur poses, which took place on Thursday, is a great event in the world's histo ry, says the Baltimore .Sua. It is one of the most conspicuous of the many triumphs of science and an other of the marvelous benefits which the students, the theorists and the men of science have conferred upon mankind. Nothing more advances human civilization nor serves to knit men together in one fellowship, than free communication and con stant intercourse. That the relations of the people of the world will be made closer and more friendly by this easier and cheaper method of communication cannot be doubted. It is want of knowledge of each other that most frequently produces nation al antipathies and hostilites. There fore every additional avenue 01 com munication advances civlization and good feeling. Thursday a number of press mes sages passed between Grace Bay, Nova Scotia and Chfden, Ireland, and were transmitted thence to their several destinations, it is announced that the instruments can receive or transmit as many as 20 words a min ute with ease and accuracy. When the Atlantic cable opened for business the charge was reduced to 25 cents a word and has remained at that for about 20 years. The press rate by wire is ten cents a word. Marconi begins his service with a charge of 10 cents a word for general business and 5 cents a word for news, and these comparatively low rates are announced with the promise of radi cal reductions in the future. While Thursday witnessed the open ing of commercial business across the ocean by wireless telegraphy, the messages sent then are not the first that have been so transmitted. The first wireless message was sent across the ocean from Foldhu, in Cornwall, the southwestern couutry of England, to a temporary station in Newfound land, near St. Johns in December, 1001. Since that time Marconi, with the active aid of the Italian Govern ment, has been perfecting his appa ratus, which object has now, it is confidently announced, been accom plished. The perfecter of this marvelous system of sending messages more than 2,000 miles through the air is an Italian only 33 years of age. Mr. Carnegie said in a speech in Edin burgh the other day that there is no better test of respectability than a good balance in bank or title deeds. Whether Marconi has a bank bal ance or title deeds, whether he dies a pauper or not, his name will be a household word when the name of every millionaire now living, who has no other title to fame than his millions shall have been forgotten.

Not since the time of the Civil War has there been so much agitation in the minds of the people on various subjects. People "want to know" about everything. We do not say th:it i!i : nublic has "Town skeptical quite the contrary. We believe it is a day and age cf enlightened, intelligent inquiry after facts. Each man and each woman now-a-days wants to do his and her own thinking, They are not ljoking for any concentrated essence of wis dom boiled down and given o them in capsule form. They want to figure out for themselves what is right, and what 1.3 wrong, and what to do about it. Public sentiment has forced the government of the United States to compel patent medicine manufacturers to state on their labels the ingre dients f the remedy inside of every package. We believe that the Rexall remedies have had as much to do with the creation of this senti ment as any other one single element in the country. Why? Simply because the Rexall remedies, from their inception several years ago, started out on an entirely new line. The first principle in the Rexall platform was one remedy for each not a cure-all. Second no secret combinations. Every formula has always been open to the public ; any one can know what he is taking when he buys Rexall and always could, - ,V Third even Rexall remedy has been sold on the basis of "money back" if you are not more than satisfied.

Third, the great volume of unsolicited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass.. many of which are from time to time being published, by special permission, give absolute evi dence of the value of Lydia E.
