THE HE.NDEKSON GOLD JLEAF THUliSDAY, DECEMJ3E11 23 1909. The Gold Leaf. ESTABLISHED 1881. BY THAD R. MANNING. TIICIiSDAY, JJKC. 23, 1900. 1. Ai.THoroH thousands of copies of last wfekH (Joi.i Leaf were Hc-nt out by IlerierHon' manufacturing1 and mercantile interests, we still have a nurnh-r on hand which can le ob tained free of charge by applif ation at thin office. The Warrenton Iiecord says that J. A. Dowtin, IU'(?inter of I)mIh for tie last nine rears says there ban been more cancellation of debt this fall than there has been hince ho has Ixx-n Register of Deeds. That speaks well for the good people of our neigh boring county, and the floi-u Leaf in pleaded to note such a condition of prosperity obtaining among them. It is in kef-ping with the order of things in Vance. Our people own more and owe less than at any time we au recall. A nfmhek of our State exchanges got out very creditable Christmas or special editions, all of them illustra ted and some with handsome colored covers. Notably among these were the Charlotte Observer, Wilmington .Star, Chariot to Evening Chronicle, Winston -Salem I'nion Republican, "Waynesvillo Courier, Greenville Re flector, Williamston Enterprise. This is well. North Carolina newspapers reflect the growth and glory, the progress and prosperity of the State as well as they help to make it. The (Joed Leaf regrets that the Seaboard is to lose Mr. Charles II. Gattis, but notes with pleasure his promotion to a higher and more re sponsible position with another road. The following from the Charlotte K veiling Chronicle is deserved: From the district passenger agent of the Seaboard Air bine.Mr. Charles II. Gattis, shifts to general passenger agent of the Georgia & Florida Rail road. .Mr. Gattis is a line railroad man and the railroad that secures his services gets value received. His friends throughout North Carolina are very much pleased at his contin ued promotion. lie ought to be a railroad president and seems to be working in that direction. -4 - The following which is taken from an exchange, contains much of truth: "The man who grows up in his na tive town is regarded as a boy by his elders until he is well started down the declivity of life, too often, that ends in a hole. The stranger who comes into a place is more often pushed to the front than the young man who has grown up with the town. This is the reason why so manyyoung men become dissatisfie with their home surroundings and long to cast their lot in other quar ters." And as long as this is so can you blame a young man of talent and ambition for wanting to get out among strangers away from home to seek fame and fortune? "The :t()-Foot Waterway Edition of the Wilmington Morning Star, as the publishers were pleased to call it, issued last week, was one of the big gest achievements of a North Caro lina newspaper. It did the publishers of that venerable, dignified and al ways reliable paper, which by the way has been wonderfully rejuvenated and taken on new life in its old age. proud and reflected credit upon the city of ilmington and interests the paper so well represents. The edition was 4o pages, handsomely ill us t rated and attractively gotten up, and con tained much matter of vital interest. It speaks volumes for the paper and prosperity of North Carolina's chief seaport city and must prove of last ing benefit to Wilmington and the State at large. The Star is doing a great work towards the development of Wilmington, the future of which looms brighter everv da v. THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER'S CHRISTMAS EDITION. We wanted to say something like it b it could not say it so well, so we are appropriating the following about the Charlotte Observer's ."(', page Christmas edition from the Ral eigh Evening Times: For several years past it has been the custom of the Charlotte Observer to issue a Christmas edition. The people who read the Observer look forward to this special paper because it is always full of good and readable things for the Christmas season. It seems that the Observer gets better each yenr and the Christmas edition yesterday of .l pages is by far the best edition of its kind ever issued by ;v North Carolina newspaper. Con taining sis large sections it was run ning over from the front pge to the last page with something of real in terest to ev.-ry member of the family. One of the most striking features about the paper was the large amount of original matter prepared especially for this Christmas edition. It is an easy thing for any newspaper to get a lot of syndicate matter and till up with that kind of stuff, but the Observer was full of new things, writ ten by the ppople who read the paper and live within its territory. The Observer is the foremost morning newspaper in the Carolinas, and this elegant Christmasedition istheequal of anything that will be or can be is sued by any paper in the entire countrv.

The appointment of Judge Horace II. Lurton to the United States Su preme court bench to succeed the late Justice I'eckham,i criticised iosome quarters while it is freely admitted that he 13 eminently qualified for the duties of that high office. Judge Lurton is one of Mr. Cleveland'n "finds' lie a Democrat but has not been prominent in politics since lie was appointed judge of the sixth circuit (United States court) by Pres ident Cleveland, Madi 27, 1803. President Taft was himself a judge of the sixth circuit at the time he was appointed governor of the Phil ippines in lbOH, and it was his asso ciation with Judge Lurton that gave him such a high opinion of the legal qualifications of theTennessee jurist. It is said that when President Roosevelt offered the positian of as sociate justice of the Supreme Court to Mr. Taft, that gentleman declined and recommended the appointment of Judge Lurton. He was not ap pointed, however, and now that Preside.it Taft is to fill a vacancy he carries out the recommendation he made to President Roosevelt. The objection made to Judge Lur- ton's appiontment is because of his alleged leanings toward the "inter ests," having leen a corporation (railroad) lawyer and is acceptable to them. Rut a man who knows no law would not have been fit to ele vate to the Supreme Court bench and if .Judge Lurton had not been a lawyer of ability he would not have been employed by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad or any other. At any rate so eminent an authority as Judge Alton R. Parker gives this opinion of the new appointee: "I know Judge Lurton, both so cially and professionally, and in my judgment, one better equipped for service in that greatest ot all courts, the Supreme Court of the Lnited States could not be found. The country is to be congratulated." Judge Parker by the way has him self been mentioned from time to time as likely to receive the appoint ment which now goes to Judge Lur ton. Tell Your Appreciation. Nrw '' "r "onriial. Ti ndvent of the Christmas tide is the text for special messages to cheer and help the poor and unfort unate. The mistake too often made is this specializing for a single day, as tho' the charitable and Christian mission work began aud ended with Christmas. Another thing it is not the poor and unfortunate who are the only needy ones at Christmas. Hunger and thin clothing cause physical suf fering in degree, but there is suffering greater than those, the lonely heart, the person who has lost Christmas thro' some previous sorrow, and whose heart is empty for the wants that love and human sympathy can give. Many a cheery heart is found under a thin coat or shawl, because there is love, faith, and a responding heart of love, that causes the cold wind to be unfelt, while under the fur wraps there may be sadness, and the wind is felt, for there is nothing to inspire the heart because of the absence of that fellow feeling that makes man's happiness. Rut Christmas is not the one and only day of the year. Gift giving with all the joy and pleasure that ac companies it, is a blessed event to giver and receiver alike. And yet it would be a world barren of heart jo vs. if the good efforts were confined to Christinas. Beyond gift bearing is the man or woman filled with ap preciation, and so filled that it runs over into language that pours forth upon others.

Quite a good deal has been said in the papers about the defeat of the constitutional amendment in Ala bama providing for prohibition in the organic law of the State. Ala bama already has prohibition. The people voted liquor out some time ago, but the radical element, not satisfied with that, demanded that the constitution be amended so that the law would become a fixture. This is not all. Section second of the proposed amendment reads as fol lows: "Nothing in the Constitution of Alabama shall be construed to prevent the Legislature under the police power from designating places where such liquors may not be stored and kept." In other words, under the constitution a amended police officers would be given the right to enter private homes and search for liquor at their pleasure, and the peo ple of Alabama are not quite ready yet to surrender the sacredness of their homes to officers of the law at their own sweet will. Gov. Comer, it is charged, attempted to promote his political fortunes through the prohi bition issue, and the people suspected his insincerity and expressed their disapproval at the polls. It is a fortunate thing that the extremists were defeated, for if they had suc ceeded the State's interests would have been endangered. No prohibi tionists who foams at the mouth is fit to occupy a position of trust and responsibility He may be honest enough but he hasn t sense enougu. We hope the rebuke that Alabama has administered to the radical ele ment will have a, good effect all over the country. The people are in favor of prohibition but they are not will ing to turn the government over into the hands of the rapid, fire-eating fools who speak before they think, if they ever think at all. As we have often said before, in the ranks of temperance men there are more ex tremists, perhaps, than anywhere else in the world, and it is the constant duty of the leaders of the moral forces to see to it that only the sober, the temperate and the judicious are put in positions of trust and respon sibility.

Baney at Raleign last Wednesday deserves more than a passing notice, and his life and example may well be held up to the youths of our country for emulation. Although he came to Raleigh when igbteen years old as a night clerk in a hotel at an insignifi cant salary, and, so far as we know, had never held any office, yet at his death such honors were paid him as rarely have been paid the memory of any citizen of our State capital. On the day of his burial there was a public meeting, called by the mayor, of a largenumberof most representa tive citizens of Raleigh, at which not only complimentary resolutions were adopted but a committee was ap pointed to provide a permanent me morial that would forever perpetuate his name and memory. Some years ago he established and gave to the city' a public building handsomely equipped at a cost of nearly fifty thousand dollars, which was -nearly the amount of all his earthly posses sions at that time. By bis energy and talents, as well as by his always honorable dealings, he acquired quite a competency, and far better than that, he acquired the lasting friendship and esteem of all who knew him.
