THE HENDERSON GOL.D LEAF THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1909. The Gold Leaf. ESTABLISHED 1881. -BY THAD R. MANNING. THURSDAY. OCT. 21, 1900. The Coon-negro-education-tax epi sode seems destined to develop into as notoriouH a case as the Cook-Peary-North Pole controversy, local ly. The columns of the News and Observer are taxed in these strenuous times to handle the various articles pro and con. The whole State is looking on to Bee how Wilmington does the thing, for if she does it creditably it will be a credit to the State. Durham Her ald. And you may just bet Wilmington is going to do the thing creditably to itself, the whole State and the oc casion of the doing. When a writer makes a criticism or a charge against an individual through the medium of a newspaper, it would be more manly for him to sign his name to the article. Half the force is lost when one's identity is hidden because of the unfairness and apparent lack of courage and honesty of the writer. Ci.ekk H. C. Drown, of the Corpor ation Commission has sent us a rail road map of North Carolina, for 1009, which is a useful publication and prized very highly. The map was prepared for the Corporation Com mission by Mr. Drown and the work has been well done. All railroads in the State are shown, together with proposed roads and lumber roads. The number of miles of rail roads in the State are given as fol lows: Atlantic Coast Line, 047; Sea board Air Line, 017; Southern Rail way, 1,332; Norfolk & Southern, 4G8; Miscellaneous, 08(5. - Somehodv who holds official posi tion under the State government ought to resign or lx? deposed jf thorp is any authority for doing sucU a thing. We have reference to the de lay in the matter of installing the electric chair in the State prison for the execution of the death penalty upon felons as provided by the last Legislature. Ample time has been had to get the death dealing instru ment in readiness and that it has not been done seems to 11 without ex cuse and the necessit y for the repeated reprieving by the Governor of the negro rapist froih Robeson county is shameful and disgraceful. PEARY AGAINST COOK. We are publishing this week Com mander Peary's alleged proof of his repeated assertions that Dr. Cook did not reach the North Pole. As will be seen by the reader his whole proof rests upon the statements of the two Eskimo boys who accom panied Dr. Cook in his Arctic travels, the statements being given in detail by the young Eskimos, it is claimed, as drawn from them by questionings of Peary arid members of his party. When Dr. Cook asserted that he could prove by the Eskimos who were with him that he reallv reached the pole, Peary answered that Eski-! .. " A, , . mo testimony was worthless; their statements could not be depended on. Yet Peary's sole evidence that Dr. Cook did not reach the pole is the statements of this same unreliable Eskimo testimony. It is needless to say that Commander Peary's promised proof has made little im pression, nnd the public confidence in Dr. Cook's claims remains un shaken. The Seaboard. Charlotte Chronicle. The triple receivership under which the Seaboard Air Line. Railroad Com pany has been operated has been or dered dissolved and on November 4, the company will resume control of its property. The receivership work has been well done. Warfield, Wil liams nnd Duncan have practically saved the railroad from being wreck edrather they have reconstructed it from wreckage. They have done this work, too, in a comparatively short period of time, and under its reorganization the Seaboard finds itself in good operating shape nnd in a xery good money -mkaing way. The saving of this valuable railroad property was one of the best pieces of financing that has been done in railroad circles for many years. The Seaboard is one of the South's best investments and the manner in which it has been coming to the front is a matter for gratifica tion on the part of all interests in the development of the South. Officers of the Daughters of the Confederacy. At the State meeting of the Daugh ters of the .Confederacy in Wilming ton last week, officers were elected as follows: President. Mrs. F. M. Williams, Newton; vice-presidents: Mrs. M. S. Willard, Wilmington; Mrs. Josephus Daniels, Raleigh; Miss Carrie Leazar, Mooreaville; recording secretary, Mrs. T.T. Marsh, Tarboro; corresponding secrecary, Mrs. W. C. Feimster. New ton; treasurer, Mr9. Eugene Little, Wadesboro; registrar, Mrs. W. W. Watt, Charlotte; recording of cross es, Mrs. Thomas Craig, Gastonia; historian, Miss Rebecca Cameron, Hillsboro; assistant historian, Mrs. V. O. Shannon, Henderson; chap lain, Miss Hettie James, Wilming ton. The retiring president, Mrs. I. W. Faison, of Charlotte, was unani mously endorsed for president gen eral of the national organization.

Davlus Cade, of Shelby, the in tor of the Cade type-setting machine, gave the Chronicle a call today on his return home from Philadelphia. His machine is being made in that city, and Mr. Cade has been there to make a final inspection of the draw ings and to give tbem his approval. This has teen done and on Monday the work of casting the parts that are to te assembled into the com pleted type-setting machine, will te commenced. Mr. Cade had expected to have one of his machines completed and put in operation this month, but the work of completing the draw iugs proved tedious. The delay, how ever, was to have been anticipated. The Chronicle has given in previous issues a sort of a lay deHcriptioti of Mr. Cade's invention. There seems to be no doubt that it will set tye. Whether Mr. Cade's fullest expecta tions will be realized remains to be seen, but if the machine will do half what -.; claims for it, it will be a great thing. What gives us assur ance is the fact that no big machine shop would trifleaway itstime on an invention o? questionable value. We have faith in t lie Cade machine and we believe that it is going to give the Mermen thaler a jolt unless the Mer genthnler people gobble it up and against this Mr. (Jade is endeavoring to fortify himself. It is quite within the range of probability that the town of Shelby will, in a short time, become known as the home of one of the greatest inventors of the age. Governor Kitchin Attends to His Duties. (irw-nsboro Iteeord. Governor Kitchin is an illustration of a man who attends to his duties, no matter what the papers may say. During the canvass for the nomina tion many were the predictions that he would' "run amuck," "the State's business would suffer" and all that. Instead he has remained at his post, declining invitation after invitation, refusing at first to go to the King s Mountain celebration, but he finally vielded. He should have gone and now he is going to introduce Presi dent Taft at Wilmington next month. Hut these are exceptions. He sticks right to his knitting and the public is hist finding out that he is the hard est man to fool that ever held office. Cajoling him or flattering him has no effect; he insists on knowing all the facts in t lie case before he acts and favoritism has no place with him. Some time ago he approached a prominent gentleman and asked him about t lie qualifications of a cer tain ln.in desiring some position. He said he wanted to know if he was competent, honest, sober and a gen tleman who could be relied on. The answer va.j. yes, but his informant remarked "but he fought your nom ination." "That makes no difference to me." replied theGovernor; "I want the best man for the place." And he got the position. TOBACCO TRUST IN CANADA. Entire Output of Essex and Knt Counties Bought Up at Taney Prices Over a Score of Buyers Sent Out at Once and Whole Crop Purchased in Two Days, Paying Record-Breaking; Price?. To corner the entire tobacco output in Canada, the Imperial TobaccoCo., which ia the Canadian end of the American Tobacco t'o.. commonly known as the "tobacco trust, is buying up every pound that can be procured in Essex and Kent counties the tobacco produc ing counties of Ontario and also nil that can be found in Quebec. Moreover, the trust is paving fancy prices for this year's crop. Whereas the normal price is around 8 cents the Im perial Tobacco Co. has been paying from 10 ' i- cents, the being the pre vailing rate for the best quality. According ro me h,ne looaccoco. in this city, this move on the part of the trust is aimed at the independents, in eluding the Windsor firm. This, however is denied by Mr. Gregory, of Ijcnmlng- ton, mannger of the Imperial Co.. who in a telephone conversation with The Record, stated that his firm was not concerned about anybody else "We bought up the entire crop be cause we needed it, stated Mr. Gregory. "and we will probably need more next yen r. Me added that Ins firm put out 2 buyers, scattering them through Essex and Kent counties. They offered prices that took the farmers completely by storm. The whole crop was bought up in two days es, things have been rather strenu ous with us."" said Mr. Gregory. "We have paid out about a half million dot lars. 1 want to make it clear that it is not directed at the independent firms, i . i t ? . i . .i niuiougn ic may uurt mem. nut we can't help that. You know high prices are being paid just now for peaches. hogs, and most everything the farmers can grow. We do not want the farmers to go out of the tobacco business and we figured that it would be the best policy to pay the prices we did. I think the farmers are well satisfied, and I know we are. Intimating the yield in Knsex county at four million pounds, this means that the farmers will receive SGOO.000 for this year's crop, which is certainly a record- breaker. Kent county will produce an otner million or two pounds The tobacco men all agree that the yield tbiu year is letter m quality and larger in quantity than last year. The above article is taken from the Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Evening Record of Sept. 30th. The Mr Gregory referred to is Mr. William T. Gregory, long time a Henderson boy, who got his tobacco experience in - T 1 Henderson. The same paper prints a picture of .Mr. James B. Duke, president and founder of the American Tobacco Company, whom it styles the "Foxv trust maker, and "one of the most farsighted and keenest trust makers in the United States."

There is running in New York a powerful play called "The Fourth Estate," which depicts a brave editor standing against social and political and financial wrong. Finally, under terrible temptation, he stands firm and exposes a judicial grafter, though not supported by the owner. The struggle is hopeless, and, after this great service, he commits suicide, leaving a note saying that he cannot stand single-handed against contin ued journalistic prostitution. There are in real life brave journal ists who do their duty, stand firm, and keep on fighting. Such an one is Mr. Rudolph Mock who holds a position on Mr. Ilearst's paper in New York. Some days ago, when it became known that Mr. Ivins and other Republicans had induced Mr. Hearst to become a candidate for Governor, Judge GrtjTnor stated that the report could not be true because, without solicitation, air. liearst naa urged the judge to become a candi date and promised him his support. Mr. Hearst admitted that he had at one time favored Judge Gaynor, but denied every material statement made bv Judge Gavnor. At that point, the judge called on Mr. Block, who held a pasition with .Mr. liearst s paper, and Mr. Block wrote this letter. "New York, Oct. 9, 1909. "My Dear Judge: I have received your letter and I cannot tell you how distressed I am over the course that matters have taken. 1 regret ex ceedingly to be drawn into the affair, but, inasmuch as I was instrumental n bringing about your meeting with Mr. Hearst and urged vou so often on his behalf to run for mayor, 1 feel that, since you ask for it, and put the matter up to me, you have a right to my testimony. "Shortly before Mr. Heart left for Europe last summer he asked me to bring you to his house. 1 think this was the second or third time you had ever seen him. lie asked vou if you would not run for mayor in the fall. You asked him why he did not run himself, and said that if he desired to run, or would run, you would not gvt in his way. He answered that under no circumstances would he run and tjrged you to run. You asked him on what ticket. He responded, 'I don't care what ticket you run on, 1 11 Mipport you on any ticket. "1 suggested then that perhaps Tammany might nominate you. He answered, 'It, makes no difference what party nominates him. And he added: 'I am not opposed to Tain many, but to Tamany methods, and when it. does right, it is entitled to credit. You thanked Mr. Hearst and said that you might go to Europe in Au gust, and that you would think the matter over. He exprecsl a wish that you would see him in Europe, and asked that you let him know your decision after you got back. He said that if you wanted any article favoring or leading to your candi dacy published in the American dur ing his absence I was to see that it went in. "Sincerely vours. RUDOLPH BLOCK." "Hon. Wm. J. Gaynor, "Brooklyn, N. Y." That letter, written under most embarrassing circumstances, liears the truth in every paragraph, and proclaims that its author is a man who has more regard for his integri ty and truthfulness than anything else. Ihat is the supreme test tor any man; will he tell the whole truth when it is to his interest to have a good "forget tery" or tell what is not tru Mr. Block has shown by his eternal test that heisaman to trust. Mr. Hearst's answer to Mr. Block is unworthy of the rich New York editor. The first part of his answer is taken up with an argument that he favored Gaynor until Gaynor de serted his principles, saying, "I have never pledged myself to support Judge Gaynor, but if I had, I would have felt myself relived when Judge Gaynor accepted the Democratic nomination, and he added: It is not true that 1 ever n.sked Judge Gaynor to come to mv house in order to ur'e him to accent a nomination. He dime humbly up to my house, once, twice, thrice, hat in hand, of bis own accord, and in his own mten sr. And 1 have no doubt that he had previously visited Mr. Murphy's house in the same abject attitude. It is not true that 1 told Rudolph Block or Judire Gaynor himself or any one that I would sup port juuge liny nor under any and all conditions "As to Mr. Block, the 'distinguished editorial associate' to whom Judire tiaynor so respectfully and ludicrous ly refers, he is the editor of the comic supplement of my Sunday paper, the sponsor for Happy Hooligan, the Katz-Mijammer Kids and Judge Gay nor. it is interest evinced so necu liarly in Judge Gavnor's candidacy merely goes further to prove that he has a sense of humor, if not a sense of honor. lhe statements contained above ure flatly denied both by Jude Gay nor and iMr. lilock, and the con te'mptuous references to Judge Gay nor and ir. isiock are what you might expect of a purse-proud man who lacked proper appreciation of a worihy man on his staff no matter whether he was a news carrier or a pressman or an editorial writer. A man who shows thestuffof Mr. Block worthy of the respect of every gooc miiU m America Letter to H. Thomason. Henderson. .V. Dear Sir: A new word has come into ure m paint; it is strong.

If one paint wears 10 vears. and an other o. the 10-year paint is the Th strongest paint is the one that takes least gallons and wears lone-est But do such differences exist? Yes, and greater.

Norfolk, Va.f Oct. 18, 1909 Nor folk is preparing to entertain one of the largest crowds in her history on November 19th, when President Wil liam Howard Taft, Vice-President James S. Sherman and many other iuen of national prominence will be the guests of the city and. of the At lantic Deeper Waterways Associa tion. The latter organization will hold its second annual convention in this city November 17th to 20th, and it will be attended by fully one thou sand delegates and visitors from all the cities of the Atlantic coast from Boston to New Orleans. Ttie principal subject to be discussed will be the proposed inland water way from Boston, Mass., to Beau fort, N. C, and the improvement of rivers and harbors generally will, of course, come in for its share of consideration. Much more than usual interest centres in this gathering of the At- antic Deeper W aterways Association on account of the visit of President Taft. Norfolk's citizens are delighted with the honor of entertaining the President and the members of his1 party, and the city will do itself proud in dispensing that hospitality or which V irgmia and Virginians are 'a mou 3. While thepiogram for "President's Day," November 19tb, has not been completed.it provides a busy day for thechief executive. Immediately upon is arrival from Washington aboard the vacht. Mayflower, he will be es corted to the convention headquar- ... 1 1 j ters, where he will be formally ana officially welcomed. Shortly aiter- ward. President Taft will deliver an address to the people of Norfolk and vicinity from a reviewing stand, toi- owinca ereat parade of u.b. sailors and soldiers, the Virginia militia, civic organizations and thousands of children from the public schools, who will be given holiday tor the oc casion. After the parade the president will be escortedMo Cape Henry, where a eal old-fashioned Virginia oyster roast will be served to a thousand guests. World-famous Lynnhaven n-sters, taken from their beds -but a ew miles from the Cape, will be served nail styles, butt ne menu will include ther delicacies, among them the celebrated Smithfield ham and Prin- ess Anne turkey, and that most lighl y-prized of all game birds, Chesa peake Bay canvasback duck. In the evening the President will be the guest of honor at a smoker ten dered by the Waterways Association to the visiting newspaper men, who will include practically the entire active membership of the Gridiron Club, of Washington, and the Five O'clock Club, of Philadelphia. Fully 100,000 visitors are expected to be in Norfolk on "President s Day." The railroad and steamboat companies will offer special rates, and are already raakidg special prepara tions for handling the crowds. Among the attractions announced so far for the entertainment of visit ors are a great display of fireworks and a football game between promi nent college teams. Another feature of the convention will be the illnmi nation of the harbor at night, where many vachts representing the most prominent clubs of this coast, as well as a small number of warships will be at anchor. There will be a number of other out-door attractions which will be announced later. Among those who have accepted invitations are the governors of Maryland, Rhode Island, North Car olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor- da and Virginia: members of Con gress and, other prominent men of the Atlantic coast btates, from Maine to Florida. The Concord Times gives some good advice in the following par agraph: "v hen you want an article of merchandise buy it of a reputable home dealer, that the pront may re main to enrich the community. Send your money abroad only for what you cannot, purehaseathome. Home talent, home labor, home industry. home capital and home pleasures are things to be fostered, encouraged and pit ronizd.' ACTUAL STARVATION. VV. W. Parker, Druggist, Gives Facts Regarding Dyspepsia. Although indigestion and dvspep sia are so pravelent, most people do uot thoroughly understand their cause nnd how to obtain relief. There i.s no reason why people should not eat anything they desire if thej will only chew it carefully and thorough ly. Many actually starye themselves into sdeknesa through fear of eating every good-look ins:, good-smelling and good-tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we refuse every article of food that disagrees with us, before long we have nothing left, nnd find ourselves chronic dyspeptic. "NYe are so confident that we can furnish relief for indigestiou and dys pepsia that we promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to every one who uses it according to directions who is not perfectly satisfied with the results. We exact no promises and put no one under any obligation whatever. Surely nothing could be fairer. We are located right here where vou live, and our reDutation should be sufficient assurance of the genuineness of our offer. We want every one who is troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get a box of Itoall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them homeland give them a reasonable trial, according to direc tions. They are very pleasant to take; they soothe the irritable stom ach, strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, promote a healthy and natural bowel action, almost im mediately relieve nausea and stomach irrritation, produce healthy diges tion, ana assimilation, and promote Dutruion. A 25-cent package of Rexall Dys pepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days' treatment. In ordinary cases this is sumcient to produce comrdete relief. In more chroniccases, a longer treat ment, of course, is necessary, and de pends upon the seventy of the trouble For such cases we have two larger sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.
