iinlii-ations are that he is going to

other i-andidateH before the thing is
over with.
The town that waits for outsiders
to route in and build it up is like the
oi l farmer inthe familiar fable, who
waited for his kinsmen and neighbors
toi-omein and harvest his grain,
lio n the birds knew the old farmer
was entirely off his base on that prop
ortion, and not till he and his hoys
finally decided to get busy themselves
arid save the grain did the birds see
any necessity for moving.
Si line half dozen or more interest
ing communications for last week's
paper came in after it had been
printed and mailed. Tlrw was right
ihssnppointing to the publisher as it
nnit have also been to those who
sent them. We hope our good friends
will all try to be on time herealter.
Instead of waiting till the last min
ute, it is the best practice to rush
matter for publication justasrap
i.lly as possible. The Gold Leaf has
a tixed hour to go to press, and bar
i ing accidents ami the like, it will be
the invariable rule to close the forms
promptly at that hour.
Von may organize your chambers
of commerce and 3'ourboostiugclubs,
and split your throats shouting the
many advantages your town has to
offer to prospective manufacturers
and investors. But in getting up a
fund of $00,0o,0 among themselves
for the purpose of guaranteeing the
establishment of desirable manufac
turing enterprises in their town the
business men and citizens of the
town of Hickory have undoubtedly
adopted the more sure and practical
way of getting what they want. Hen
derson might do well to emulate the
example of Hickory in this instance.
Room For Improvement A Flea For
More Progress.
My inflammatory nerves have be
come somewhat fnTlamed. Escited
thoughts jump from one nerve gan
glea to another in the convulsions of
my cerebral lobes like red bugs plav
ing leap frog on a pine cone. To
think of our past or present state of
town government is enough to make
a tax payer mad enough to want to
crush a grape. Our town charter
and the administration of our town
government have not been for years
and are not now up to the standard
requirements of a progressive city,
f n order that the present or past of
ficials may not think me personal,
for I love them all, I will not use an$
names in this article and will mix up
the different administrations from
the standpoint of time covering a
period of the last six years.
What do you think of this, or do
you think? One board of commis
sioners had four members and the
mayor, which is a majority and
enough to elect, to agree to vote for
If. S. McCoin for town attornev
When the votes were counted T. M.
Pittmau had five votes and McCoin
only three votes of the commission
ers. Each of the four commissioners
looked at each other, owl like, and
all stated agniii that thej' had all
voted for McCoin. Things got hot.
And afterwards all four of theaecom
missioners went before a Notary
Public and solemnly swore before
God that they all had voted for Mc
Coin. After all this voting and
swearing Mr. Pittman having
actually received enough votes,
was duly declared elected and so
qualified.' The presumption natural
ly is that one of these aldermen lied
and swore to it. Mav an iufinitelr
merciful Lord have mercy on his
polka-dotted soul. This does not
look like good troverupaent to me.
What do you think of thin, or do
l. I . . r
you iniriKt aoouc iour years ago
tne town paid its attorney f 100 to
draw up a new charter. Swing low,
sweet chariot, and. speak easy here.
The commissioners paid out the
town's good money for that charter
but from that date to the-x present
tick of the clock the commissioners
have never read that charter, much
less approved it. Maybe 3 0U did not
know it but the town charter of
hustling Henderson has not been re
written or even amended in twenty
years, old Kip Van Winkle's nap, and
that we have had the same identical
mayor for seventeen years. Thou
shalt not chase a rabbit, hare or
haress on main street, is still a law in
hustling Henderson. Neither thou,
nor thy man servant nor thy maid
servant nor any one else ns to that
matter shalt have any bull fight in
our city limits is still a law in our
hospitable city. Thou shalt not
make unto thee any cellar door on
main street, either in thy store above
or in the cellar under thy store, lest
tne way taring man, tlie stranger
within thy gates, or the foolish vir
gin, whose torch has gone out, may
fall therein. This is another wilder
ness law in our progressive town.
What do you think of this, or do
you think? Under this old moss
back charter, only in exceptional
cases can the license tax exceed $10
per year. Under the present law a
poor widow, taking in a few boarders.
any number exceeding three, has to !
pajT half as much license tax as the i
largest corporation in the city. W. j
T. Carter one year paid as much
license tax as both the banks paid. !
In hustling Henderson butchers i
pay as much license tax as banks. I
And so on and on it goes. Our
license taxes are a'l wrongfully un
equal. What can 3011 do about it?
You cannot increase the big fellows
tax because the charter won't , let
you. It is equally true that yon
cannot change your charter when
vour commissioners will not even
new born baby, the bank. A dead
silence, dead. Not a sound was
heard nor a funeral note. Silence
fell like moon beams fall upon the
heud stone of a grave. You could
almost hear the finger nails of the
aldermen grow. A pin fall would
have sounded like five hundred
pounds of gun cotton dropped
through the skylight of hell. The
clock refused to strike for two hours
and the roosters did not crow for a
week. Get a division of the public
funds why no, I could not even get
an answer from the board, much less
a division. We afterwards got a
deposit from the dispensary but not
from my petition. The honored ir v
fathers were withholding just, biv.i.
from a just child, stiffling their own
child and stiffiing me, a new citizen
in the town the board was not pro
gressive. And speaking of that dispensary.
Did you know that the town hus
never yet had an authentic settlement
with the dispensary and that even
uow some of the town's share in the
property of the dispensary is iu the
hands of the county and not in the
hands of the town at all? How lonjj
should we wait?
W hat go you think of this, or do
you' think? It is said that the dis
pensary paved the streets of the
town. Prohibitionists, of whom I
am one, sa,id t hat each day we were
walking 011 the blood of our own
people, and that this blood was cry
ing our, etc. We prohibitionists
may now feel some better over the
situation, for we find now that we
are walking on only about GO per
cent of that blood 11101103', an'J that
soma concrete contractors are sit
ting on the other 40 per cent. Now
I do not know what the contractors'
work ccfst them or what profit they
got. But I do know that we have
since that time put down concrete
at about GO cents per square yard,
whereas we paid $1.15 per square
yard at that time. While we were
paying $1.15 per square yard, our
little sister town, Warrenton, was
doing her work at 80 cents per
square yurd, including the cost of
hauling the stone a good distance.
Publicity a!wa3Ts helps to perfect
good government: If our editors
would wear a few black eyes for get
ting after the boys, our town would
be better off. If not the cannon's
roar, then let us have the puuy siz
zle of a bean gun. Even that would
help some. When things have gone
wrong in the past, our editors seem
to have stuck their heads into hogs
heads of old papers and began to
dope us with dippings, clippings,
from everywhere and on everything
from a two-legged chicken in Kansas
to politics in Poland, news of all the
other towns except our own. Hen
derson is a good town, good to live
in, and good to work in. Iiet's root
out the indifferent laws, uncover the
bad, promote the good, and all work
for greater progress.
S. T. PEACE.
(To he continued.)
How He Got ihs Nam ;
TheUreenville Reflector says that
a negro was in that town a few days
ago with a load of hay, and forget
ting the party's name whom the hay
was for, made some inquiry to see
if he could in any way get at the
name again. He was questioned in
the matter, and beiatr asked what
the name sounded like, , replied, "It
was something like Christmas,
Thanksgiving, or the Fourth of
July," whereupon his questioner re
plied "It must have been Holiday."
"Yes, sir, dats it," replied the darkey.
Demand for Good Bays .
There is a demand for good boys.

industrious, will not le long out of
a job. There are lots of prosperous
business men, merchants and me

WESTERN
Linville and the Attractions There
aboutsOne of the Loveliest Spois
In All the Appalachian Country The
Trip from Montezuma to Johnson
City a Revelation to the "Tender
Foot' Toe River Gorge Scenic Ri
val of Denver andgio Grande Route
Continued from last week.
The trip from Blowing. Rock to
Linville was even more delightful if
anything than was that from Lenoir
to Blowing Hock. It is down grade
all the way from an elevation of over
'our thousand feet above sea level,
cid the route leads through a beau
tiful country some of the most gor
geous scenery of the whole mountain
section presenting itself in pano
ramic review on every side.
The road from Lenoir to Blow
ing Rock challenges admiration, the
views of mountain, valley and stream
unsurpassed, the roadways bedecked
with rhododendron, laurel and fern,
the cooling breezes laden with the
odor of wild flowers, but the trip is
not complete without the drive over
the lonatilossee turnpike to Linville.
Luis road "along the side of the
Grandfather Mouutaiu, at an eleva
tion of 4,000 to 4,500 feet, has the
best grades and affords the finest
scenery of any mountain road in the
Eastern States. For twenty miles
a full trot may "he-held in one
long sweep around dizzy heights and
along the edge of deep Bhadowed
gorges. The finely graded road hugs
the mountainside closely, and with
every turn there opens before the
vision an entrancing panorama of
graceful forest-clad summits above
and lovely valleys below. Everv-
wuere ttie wild flowers grow in profu
sion and countless mountain streams
murmur greetings as you pass."
We found Linville one of the most
delightful places visited, cool and
restful, with excellent hotel accom
modations. A pair of blankets were
essential to comfort at night while
the mercury was trying, to climb out
the top of thermometers a few thous
and feet below and not as many
miles away. The party were treated
white here as they had been else
where. We "put up" at the Pseeola
Inn and Annex, and the best that
Manager James P. Vining could pro
vide was ours without the asking.
In all the Appalachian chain of
mountains in Western North Caro
lina, there is no more charming place
than Linville. "Surrounded by the
close-cropped and far-reaching lawns
of golf greens, the bark-covered sum
mer cottages seem as natural to the
valley as do the trees." Owing to its
elevation the climate of Linville is
remarkably cool and invigorating.
The highest temperature recorded at
1 p. m. in 1908 was 70: in 1909.
7G: and in 19.10, 80.
The scenery around Linville is par
ticularly wild aud beautiful. Per
haps the niost notable feature is
Grandfather Mountain, one of the
most rugged aud picturesque moun
tains in the South. Towering high
above the surrounding peaks, the
Grandfather affords a magnificent
view. Its three peaks can be reached
in vehicles and on horseback towith
1 1 a short distance of the summit,
and then over well-defined footpaths.

To be plain, very plain, gentlemen,
Denmark is a little off.
Though I am the youngest man
on the board, and though 1 came to
Henderson with all my worldly
goods in a bandannah handkerchief,
I pay more town tax than any other
man on the board and I feel that
this fact warrants me in pursuing
further this unsavory metaphor of
taxation. I have been on the board
only three or four months. In that
time I got the town to revise, the
best we could the license tax and was
put on a special committee to revise
the same. Positively I found man
after man and occupation after oc
cupation paying no license tax at
all not even listed. Such well
known concerns as the Express Com
pany, telegraph companies and even
the newspaper iu which 1 am uow
and here writing paid no license tax
whatever. Not their fault, the town
did not seem to care. This year
about twenty-five different kinds of j rers
boys will come across with license
tax for the first time and 1 am lay
ing for a few more next year that
were overlooked this year.
Yhat do you think about this, or
do you think? Several years ago
the town had a mass meeting and
rally. Public sentiment was high
for securing new
meat. Ttiey have no use for an idle
boy. He is tqjtpt too make an idle
man. Exchange.
Building Motor Cars South.
In view of the ever increasing de
mand for automobiles in the South
and the enormous amount of money
that is being sent to other sections
for automobiles and auto-trucks, it
is interesting from time to time to
note the establishment of automo
bile factories in the South. A new
company is to be organized at Hen
derson, N. C, with a captial etock of
1250,000, by R. J. Corbitt to take
over the Corbitt Automobile Co.,
and to erect buildings for an auto
mobile plant. Mr. Corbitt writes
that he expects to commence putting
out 1912 models by October or No
vember of this year, and that he ex
pects the company to build 500 me

w hich read as follows: "I am send

if I were getting a long letter from

that the good lady in the far away

much real

ering a distance of 2,db0 yards, is
well kept and has been used a dozen
years. The cool and invigorating
climate makes summer golf a pleas
ure which draws a yearly increasing
number of experienced players. Trout
fishing, tennis, bowling, riding, dri
ving, walking, with music twice each
day and dancing in the evening, are
other amusements.
In addition to the regular carriage
roads, there is a system of most at
tractive bridle paths, carefully con
structed, and leading to points of
great scenic interest. The longest of
these completely encircles the upper
Linville valley, crossing several
mountain streams and winding
along the rock3r sides of old Grand
father. Other paths lead to Pixie
Park, Boulder Park, Lenoir Park,
Flat Rock, Grandfather Mountain,
Point Sublime and Briar Knob.
Informed persons say the great
stretches of grass 8nd woods, un
fenced and untilled, make this the
greenest spot in the South. Cer
tainly a cooler, more restful place
would be hard to find anywhere. The

From Linville we went by hack to
Aiontezuma, tne uearest railroad
station, on the Linville River Rail
road, where we took passage on one
ot tne "funniest" little railroads I
have ever ridden on I think. Some
girls would call it "cute." It is a
narrow-gauge lumber and wood road
primarily but carries passengers and
frieght. The engine with its peculiar
running gear and cogs on the side is
a rreak But it does the work all
rignt. ine tram rattles along at a
good rate when it is going but no
promises are made as to time beyond
putting passengers in Cranberry (ten
miles) in time to take the next train
out for Johnson City. Frequent
stops are made to take on cars of
wood or lumber or cub them off but
the surrounding mountain scenery is
such as to claim the attention and
admiration so that the trip id not a
tiresome one although I have known
trains to travel a much greater dis
tance in the same length of time.
I was glad of an opportunity
to spend awhile at Cranberry the
famed iron mines of which I had read
and heard much. The place present
ed a husy appearance though I did
not have time to inspect the mines
and see the work going on in that
mountain of ore one of the richest

There were hundreds of cars, loaded
aud empty, standing on the tracks
aud being shifted from one place to
another all belonging to the East
rennessee & Western North Carolina
Railway (the ore is carried to John
sou City for smelting.) This is a
narrow-gauge road also, operating
between Cranberry and Johnson City,
35 wiles, but the only thing "small"
about it is the size of the track and
the engines aud cars. The equip
ment is first-class and the roadbed
firm and well graded. The locomo
tives are the same type of the stan
