The fellow who operates a type
writer is bound to be somewhat of a
"knocker."
"Henderson to Castalia" seems to
le the local slogan here just at this
time, and a pretty good one it is.
In another hundred years Home of
us may be wondering how we ever
did put up with the pestiferous
house y.
Even "Towser's Friend" would
have to admit that something ought
to be done to the worthless sheep
killing curs that infest some parts of
this State to such an extent that
wool-growing is next to impossible.
Oui- chief objection to the fly is that
he is no gentleman. He doesn't hesi
tate a moment to walk with his
nasty feet right over your hot bis
cuit and butter or your choice piece
of steak, and that, too, "in the im
mediate presence of the court."
Here is hoping that the farmers of
Vance county will have one of the
finest and best times at their big
picnic next Thursday that anybody
ever had in all these parts. The
farmer is the back-bone of the coun
try and richly deserves all the good
things that come his way.
When your business gets a little
dull, don't go into a hole and wait
for some friend to come along and
prize you out with a pole. Just start
a vigorous campaign for new busi
ness and keep it up until new busi
ness comes. " -There probably never
was a business that had been devel
oped to its full limit of success and
volume.
Could anything be more tiresome
than to have to listen to some in
significant somebody trying to trace
up their kinship with the wealthy
and distinguished people of the com
munity? Some of these folks would
think it an honor to be able to tell
others that their great grandfather
was bitten by the pet bulldog of some
royal court.
Mr. Fly may not be so particular
about washing his dirty feet, as has
frequently been charged against him,
but he is evidently quite fond of bath
ing his body. When he wants a cold
bath, nothing suits his purpose bet
ter than a nice cool glass of milk
which you are just ready to sip. If
he prefers a hot bath, a fresh cup of
coffee, a bowl of soup or a dish of
warm gravy is tils favorite place for
a plunge.
Suppose a man does take a daily
paper or two, is that a valid reason
why he should not take his county
paper also? Along with a few more
or less interesting items each day,
the daily papers give him a lot of
rubbish that lie cares nothing about,
and that is thrown in simply to 1111
up space, while it tells him very little
and most likely nothing at all about
the affairs of his own county, in
which every good citizen is supposed
to be deeply interested.
The Corporation Commission has
just ordered the Seaboard Air Line
and the Southern Railway companies
to build a union passenger station
at nuinerioraton. inis action was
taken in compliance with a petition
from the people of that town. With
in the past two or three years the
Corporation Commission has order
ed union passenger stations erected
in several towns much smaller than
Henderson, but in no case, so far as
we have ever heard, has such action
been taken in the absence of a strong
petition from the people of the towns
interested. There is now a growing
demand in Henderson for a union
passenger station, and about all we
shall have to do to get it is to take
some decided action looking to that
end. That the union station is need
ed goes without the saying, and that
we are justly entitled to it must be
plainly apparent to the railroads
themselves. There are few towns, if
any, in North Carolina giving the
railroads more business and getting
less in return for their money in the
way of improved facilities. The
Gold Leaf is no "railroad knocker"
and has little patience with that sort
of thing, but there frequently come
times when it is the plain duty of a
newspaper to "speak np" for the
rights of its town and community,
ims we regard as one of them. We
would not leave the impression on
anyone that the railroads are bad to
Henderson, for we certainly do not
believe this the case. And as for the
local men on both systems there are
no more uniformly courteous and ef
ficient set of railroad men to be found
anywhere. "Praise to whom praise
Udus." . 1
We ehall have to request corre
spondents not to report neighbor
hood visitors. We should be ex
tremely glad for everybody to get
their names in the paper, if we were
not greatly pressed for space each
week. Neighborhood callers are not
visitors in the newspaper accepta
tion of the term. Only those who
come in from a distance or go some
distance from home need be mention
ed. In other words, they should be
real visitors in the community, and
not merely neighbors who call on
neighbors for a few hours. The per
sonal column, when skilfully handled,
is right interesting. Eut when it
gets to be too promiscous, and is
used only as an excuse for people to
get their names in the paper, it at
once becomes a bore to most every
body, and makes people smile even
at those whose names are thus
thrown into print. Thio is one of
the most difficult features of the
newspaper for the editor to control,
because he does not like to offend
people by leaving their names out of
the paper when they want them in.
It is by far better, however, to write
less of "visitors," and more about
what people are doing to "make the
wo'rld move."
People in Henderson who have of
fices up stairs are face to face with
an absolute nuisance, and one that
very much needs to be wiped out at
once. The indolent negroes about
town make it a constant practice to
congregate on stairways and thor
oughly block them for hours at a
time, eo that it is next to impossible
for people to get up and down with
any degree of satisfaction at all.
Ladies intending to go up stairways
to offices on upper floors have not
infrequently been seen to turn away
when confronted by these black loaf
ers who seem to think that stair
ways were constructed for a loung
ing place for their trifling, lazy bones.
And often when they are asked to
vacate that someone having business
may pass up or down, they proceed
to show all the brazen impudence
they can muster up. The time has
come when if the municipal govern
ment would offer proper protection
to the numerous persons in this city
having their offices or places of busi
ness up stairs, a stop will be put to
this nuisance in short order, by mak
ing it a heavy fine to block stair
ways in the business district in the
manner indicated, and by instructing
every police officer to enforce the law
to the letter. And the Gold Leaf, in
behalf of the sufferers, appeals to the
city government for the much de
sired and needed relief and that with
out delay.

GIRL PERISHES IN FLAMES.
Miss Bertie Pearce Meets a Most Hor
rible Fate by Being Burned Alive in
Her Room.
The most terrible thing: about the de
structive fire at North Henderson early
Saturday morning was the needless sac
rifice of her own life in the seething
flames by Miss Bertie Pearee. tie 17-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
P. Pearce, in whose home the lire origi
nated and which was the first of the sev
eral buildings to be burned. It is re
garded by everybody as one of the most
shocking and regretable tragedies that
has occurred in this city for some time.
The young girl, securely imprisoned in
her room at the last moment, being
unable to find her own way out and be
yond the reach of one who bravely and
unselfishly strove to rescue her from her
awfnl peril, at last had to succumb to
the flames, and was literally roasted
alive in a veritable furnace.
About 1 o'clock .Saturday morning,
while everybody in the immediate
neighborhood was in bed sound asleep,
the fire, which was of unknown origin,
started in the cook room of the small
cottage in which the Pearce family lived
and which was the first or the several
buildings to be burned in rapid succes
sion. When Mr. and Mrs. Pearce were
first awakened by the roar of the fire, it
had already burned down the kitchen
and was breaking into their bed room
where several of their smaller children
were sleeping with them. Fully realiz
ing their great danger, the father and
mother began as hurriedly as possible to
arouse the other members of the family
and get the smaller children out to
places of safety. This they barely had
time to do without even attempting to
save any of their clothing or household
goods.
Miss Bertie Pearce, the young girl who
perished in the fire, and her younger sis
ter, Janie, were sleeping in a room ad
joining that of their parents. They were
aroused by the warning cries of their
father and of the younger children, and
at once started to leave the house.
When they had reached the door in
plenty of time to makegood their escape
without harm, Miss Bertie asked Janie
to "hold on a moment," and for some
unknown reason turned hurriedly back
into her room as if to secure something
she wanted to save; but Janie, being
naturally very much excited, went on
out, supposing that her older sister
would follow in a moment. But here, it
seems, is where Miss Bertie made the
fatal mistake that cost her her own life
and a most horrible death.
There were ten children in all in the
Pearce family, and in the very few mo
ments of great,excitement and anxiety
in which they had time to think and act,
Mr. and Mrs! Pearce had their hands full
in looking after the younger children,
among which number there was a small
baby, and after once getting them out
to a place of safety, to keep any of the
little fellows from going back into the
burning house. They also felt sure that
the older ones, having once been thor
ough' aroused, would have presence of
mind to take care of themselves. So the
parents of the ten children finally left
their burning home feeling confident that
all had gotten out and to places of refuge.
Even Janie felt sure that Bertie had
come out, after turning back for a mo
ment, and so assured her parents. While
she could not be located in the now rap
idly increasing and excited throng
about the fast spreading flames, it was
thought for a little while that as she
was scantily clad she might have has
tened at once to some neighbor's house
for protection. But a fearful tragedy,
of which the members of the family out
side and everybody else save only two
persons were unconscious, was being en-,
acted in the burning house. !
Miss Bertie Pearce had really gone
back into her room, which by this time
was full to suffocation with smoke and
flame, and in less time than it takes to
tell the sad story had doubtless become
thoroughly blinded and badly stifled by
the dense volume of hot smoke, ami

the door, and seeing the futility of all his
efforts to rescue the girl in a place like
that, and being himself on the point of
yielding up to suffocation, broke through
a window and got out barely in time to
save his own life. His face was burned
almosi into a blister and the inside of
his mouth into a crisp while in the room.
He was also right badly cut by the
pieces of broken window pane, and since
the fire has been confined to his bed
much of the time.

Will
Rebuild North Henderson
Church at Once.
The congregation of the North
Henderson Methodist church, whose
house of worship went up in flames
early Saturday morning, were very
graciously tendered the use of the old
canning factory nearby, as a tempor
ary place for holdiDg services and
Sunday school until the new church
can be built. The seats, organ and
library were saved from the burning
church, and these have now been
placed in the old canning factory
building aud make it quite comfort
able and convenient for the new use
to which it is being put. Sunday
school was held there last Sunday,
and regular services will be held in
the temporary quarters until the
new church is completed.
The new church building will be
erected at an early date and will be
placed on the same lot where the old
one stood, but will be put a little
further back, leaving room in front
for church grounds, which will be
laid off and beautified. It will be a
more substantial and attractive
structure than the old one, and the
new front will be a decided improve
ment on the old one. The loss of
their church building has thorough
ly aroused the members of this ear
nest little congregation, and it is
with the most admirable zeal that
they have set about rebuilding with
out delay.
At the regular quarterly confer
ence held the first of the week by Pre
siding Elder J. E. Underwood the fol
lowing building committee was ap
pointed to go ahead with the work
of rebuilding at once: Rev. S. J.
Kilpatrick and Messrs. R. II. Craig,
.1. U. Bridgers, B. F. Ellington and
S. J. Kelly. Later the committee
organized by electing Rev. S. J. Kil
patrick chairman and Mr. J. H.
Bridgers secretary and treasurer.
Work on the new church will begin
at once, and the names of the build
ing committee are a sufficient guar
antee that it will be pushed to com
pletion with rapidity and good
judgment.

Good Home Remedies.
The very best rough remedy is a
decoction of wild cherry bark sweet
ened with honey. It will cure any
lung trouble in its incipiency.
The herb pipaissewa will cure any
case of scrofula, eczema or any other
skin disease. Make a tea and drink
a few spoonfuls three times a day.
A pinch of sulphur will cure a bad
case of colic; horses are cured with a
tablespoonful.
For the youne: dressmakers, let me
say dampen the pleats in a dress
skirt with gumarabic water, not too
thick, and when they are pressed
they will remain intact until the dress
is worn out. In making up ging
hams, don't fail to shrink before cut

Then remove towel and iron dry, on
