Probably one of the greatest needs of Vance county today is an up-to-date rural telephone system that would reach practically every repre sentative farmhouse in the county. We are sorry to have to note the fact that our county ia very much behind the other progressive coun ties in this particular respect. In some counties it is not an easy mat ter to find a representative farm house that does not have its tele phone, thus affording ready connec tion and communication with the other farmhouses of the county as well as the cities and towns. The advantages to the farmer of such connection are so many that they can scarcely be enumerated, and if the rural population of Vance coun ty could be brought to realize them fully such a system would not be long in materializing in the county. In fact the farmers hardly know what they are missing by leing with out it. This is a matter well worthy of early and careful consideration. Henderson's magnificent new post- uk& irailding, which was construct ed and equipped at a total cost of nearly fl 00,000, was thrown open to the public this week. Postmaster Jenkins took time rather by the fore lock and moved into his splendid new quarters somewhat earlier tlcin most of the people were expecting. It is therefore no wonder that many patrons of the office were taken by surprise when -on going to the old quarters, as they had been accus tomed to do for years past, they found the doors closed and had to pause for a moment to think what had really happened. But even thse enjoyed the joke and went location, the Tucker lot on which the building now stands was almost unanimously chosen, and from that time the work of construction has been pushed by Mr. J. H. Martin, superintendent for the contractor, i under the supervision of Mr. A. C. Burdick, government superintendent of construction. The building is a gem of architectu ral Jesign and is an extremely hand some and attractive one. The base ment contains, besides the boiler room, the janitor's room and a sit ting or lounging room for the use of the carriers when not on duty, with toilet and shower baths. The lobby on the first floor is entered from either Garnett or Winder streets, and both entrances have large re volving storm doors. The lobby it self is both roomy and airy, with i he reason for farmers' institutes i iioa approaching, and it would i,i l.e amiss for the farmers to be fiiu making preparations to attend them.

And no one is better aware of this than the newspaper folk, for they are constantly coming in contact with "all sorts" of people. But now and then they seem to run across an entirely new specimen, which is likely to puzzle them for a time. A representative of the Gold Leaf asked a certain fellow in this town for his subscription the other day, and at ouce found him the very per sonification of indifference toward the proposition. In fact he went so far as to say that he was not the least bit interested in the Gold Leaf, and didn't suppose he would even take the trouble to open the paper if we would make him a present of it. This of course seemed quite un usual, but his indifference was so ob stinate and icy that there was noth ing left to the representative of the paper but to leave him alone and go on to someone else who might at least feel a little more interest in his home paper. But at the very next stop our "indifferent" friend was readily treed. "Yes, I have been taking the Gold Leaf a long time," was the cheerful reply of the next door neighbor of w iin.l then you might be able j our "indifferent" friend, "and I think to tu. i a , ase where it did not pay to J I would enjoy it very much indeed if u.lwrtis:'.

HENDERJON KC. HENDERSON'S NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING. cheerfully on to the elegant new plenty of light. The ceiling is hand building, of which all Hendersonians j somely decorated, and the floor is are justly proud, to get their mail and then paused for a while on the inside to take in the new situation and to give vent to a few words of admiration for Henderson's fine new postolfice building and more espec ially to the elegant inside furnishings and arrangements. The new build ing is in every detail a model and strictly up-to-date postoffice, not equalled by that of any city the size of Henderson in the State, and un surpassed by few in cities several times the size of ours. The administration of Col. Wm. H. Jenkins, who was made postmas ter at this place by President Roose velt in 190G, has been the most pro gressive and efficient in the history of Henderson. Under his adminis tration the affairs of the office have been wisely and most efficiently di rected, the service to the public very largely extended, and both the uae- tulness and patronage greatly m- of terrazo, with fancy marble border and wainscoting. AH parts of the building, both inside and out, are of the most approved materials and are finished in most elegant style. In the lobby are three desks for the use of the public. The main work room is .10x55 feet and is well lighted and ventilated by large win dows 5x15 feet. This room is con nected with the mailing vestibule by swinging doors. The vestibule is 14x15 feet and opens on a large platform from which the mails are received and dispatched. There is also on this floor the money order and registry room, 15x28 feet, and the postmaster's elegant private of fice, which is fitted up with toilet and other conveniences. The second floor contains a spa cious room for holding civil service examinations and a private room especially prepared for the'use'of united States commissioners or post theless he is aclever and accomodat- peace. But no sooner than it is thrown in my front porch each week my neighbor over there (referring to our "indifferent" friend) sends right over here after it and doesn't send it back until every member of his fam- j ily has read every word in it, includ-1 ing tne patent medicine advertise ments, I suppose. I wish you would go over there and try to induce him to subscribe for it for my sake." So there you are, "indifferent" friend, and you're a bird, too. "Birds of a feather flock together," but your covey is small in any de cent, self-respecting community. The public ought to know where your nest is, and will too, if you flutter around very much. You prefer to "throw off" on your town paper and then be a leech on it and your neigh bor to doing the manly thing and telling the truth. And right here the Gold Leaf wants to remind those who are in the habit of borrowing their town paper in stead of subscribing for it and help ing support it as all patriotic and public-spirited people should do, just what eort of company they are keeping. And may we ask, How do you like it? "One is known by the company he keeps," you know. hat a pity there is not an active umane society in Henderson to put h. Deserving Much Praise. The Southern Railway Company is one of the most potent factors in the agricultural and industrial de velopment of the South. Directing settlers to the South for plantations and homes, disseminating literature which treats agricultural conditions in a most practical way and advanc ing scientific methods of cultivating certain crops, these and in other ways the company is bringing vast creased.

The two entrances are lighted by two lamp standards, and there are elec tric lights and gas arrangements throughout the entire building. The grounds around the building are terraced, and a broad drive-way encircles the entire building, extend ing from Garnett to Winder streets and built of cement and stone. The handsome building is con structed of the best and finest North Carolina granite and Indiana lime stone, and is one of the most beauti ful architectural designes in the country. The gross receipts of the office have increased more than 50 per cent within the past five years, and when the rapidly growing business in terests of Henderson are taken into consid eration, the new building is none too large for our city, even if other North Carolina cities have accused Uncle Sam of being a little partial to Hen derson in his most gracious gift of our magnificent new postoffice building.

ATerdict for $20,000 damages in favor of the plaintiffs was returned by the; jury in the noted suit of the "Ware-Kramer Tobacco Company against the American Tobacco Com pany at Raleigh last week. The case had been on trial for four weeks and came to an end Thursday afternoon with the result stated. The verdict, it m said, ia the first to be brought in by a jury awarding damages un der section 7 of the Sherman anti trust law. This section provides for the recovery of treble damages and attorneys' fees for counsel for plain tiff. Judge Connor allowed the at torneys for the plaintiffs the sum of 110,000 for their fees and expenses. This,: together with the $00,000 damages and all court costs, will make the total amount about $100,-000.;- The jury, it is stated, stood five for the defendant and seven for the filaintiff until a very short while be ore the compromise was reached, ancpfor1, a time it looked like a mis trial. A motion for a new trial by couuael for defendant was denied, and an appeal was taken to the United States Circuit Court of Ap peals. Some of the counsel for the plain tiff were very much disappointed at the comparative smallness of the verdict when they had hoped to re cover $1,200,000.' The stockholders of the company will not get a cent for all their work in fighting the trust as the creditors will come in for all the recovery. The counsel for the plaintiff find consolation only in the fact that the suit, if finally won, will establish a precedent by which other companies may bring suits on the grounds that their com petitors had crushed them out of business. The Ware-Kramer Compauy, of North-Carolina, was organized at Wilson in 1904, manufactured a cigarette called "White Rolle." The North Carolina company went out of business in 190G when its assets were transferred to the Ware-Kramer Company of Virginia and this went into the hands of a receiver in 1909. They claimed the use of coupons and free goods, cut prices and business methods of the American Tobacco Company forced them out of business. I JULY FIRST, 191! Itching Skin Quickly Cooled.
