t . . a r i helped or encouraged these
ir.Hi.l 1 adies in any way? Isn't it a
fact, Mr. Commissioner, that on one
invasion when the good ladies re
sp. ctfnlly petitioned the Hoard to
have some dirt moved from in front
if Mr. Wutkins' residence that you
proposed to send them back the im
pudent message, "That if they want
ed the dirt moved, to move it t hem
Helves, that the town had no objec
tion." and did not one of the men
that you class discontented call you
h wn and object to sending so inso
l''iit a message to the ladies?
We all hi iast of our new Postoflie,
iiii 1 the town is to be congratulated
Hi' ii having such a handsome and
commodious building. Put then we
a-k you. Mr. Contented Commission
h to tell us one act of the mayor or

was putting in

Jv tr that the citizens of the town
moving it from the control of the
people? Did not the Legislature
again enow its lack of confidence in
the Board when it authorized the
? 10,000 bond issue, and named a
special committee to spend the
money?
Will you please tell us what you or
any other satisfied member of the
board of commissioners, or the town
government has contributed to
wards the success of this school
lou, Mr. Contented Commissioner,
r-oast or the fact that we have just
outsme tne borders several hundred
thousand dollars worth of buildings
ana machinery. The public would
like to know what, if anything, you
and your satisfied crowd have in
vested in these enterprises, and what
you or the town have done to encour
age and help them?
Isn't it a fact that you and your
satisfied crowd have discussed seri
ously whether or not the town would
allow the fire company to respond
to fire alarms outside tho corporate
limits, notwithstanding the fact that
these manufacturing plants are fur
nishing labor for the town's citi
zens, and it is their pay roll that
keeps the town going?
I would like to call attention of
the spokesman for the happy, con
tended and prosperous town that a
near relative of his has for the past
several years conducted a manufac
turing business near the borders of
the town, and that both thedissatis
fied commissioners are stockholders
and directors in this concern, and I
would like to ask him if he or his
contented crowd have ever put a dol
lar ot their money in this or any oth
er manufacturing enterprise in or
near Henderson, or if he has ever
done one thing on the board to en
courage new enterprises to locate
with us? If lie has, write out the
name of the corporation together
with the amount of stock he has
taken or any service he has rendered
them, insert the same in the Gold
Leaf as advertising matter and I will
ay the bill..
I too rejoice that Henderson has
made great progress in the past two
years, and will state for the informa
tion of our contented contingent of
the commissioners that the two dis
satisfied members of that honorable
body have directly and indirectly
built and assisted in building more
than thirty houses in and around
Henderson, and are now preparing
to build four more residences at a
cost of about $8,000. Now will our
satisfied friends kindly tell us how
many they have built, or helped to
build; or give us any other act of
theirs that has added to the progress
of our good town?
I am glad that Mr. Powell ap
proves and endorsed our fire depart
ment. May I ask you, Mr. Powell,
when this great change has come
about, and what is the cause?
Haven't you at every meeting fought
every movement of the fire depart
ment tending towards progress?
i Didn't you vote against buying the
new hose' Jhdn tyou vote against
buying the. new wagon? Didn't you
delay for several months the pur
chase of the horses, although you
were on the committee and instruct
ed to buy them? Didn't you vote
against buying tho town clock?
Didn't you oppose building the lire
and municipal building, and state
numbers of times that it was too
expensive a stable? Now will you
please tell us why have you reversed
yourself so suddenly and thereby
admit that you have been wrong all
the time? Now, Mr. Powell, 1 like
you, and as a citizen you are all
right. I think every town of 10,000
inhabitants should have one man
like you, but as a commissioner you
are all wrong.
Your argumet conflrms my state
ment, that Henderson has pros
pered and progressed despite the j
board of town commissioners and
not by any aid or encouragement
the town has received from them.
As you say, the town is growing
ami rapidly becoming a great man-!
ufacturing center, and while the
town is progressing every other way,
the town government is standing
still, and is twenty years behind the
times. The present board of town
commissioners trying to run the
town reminds me of a yoke of steers
trying to propel a f 10,000 automo
bile on a level road. The commis
sioners are about as much in the way
of tho town's progress as the yoke
of bteers would be in the way of the
machine.
Now to answer the three questions
you ask: First, What did the town
horses cost? I will answer that by
quoting you on the first page of the
Ci old Leaf where you say they cost
$700. That is a pretty good gucsa
! for you. It is 100 more than they
IcostF. O. B. Baltimore. That is
about as close as I could expect you
to come at it.
Second, who bought the horses?
Silus Towell, Geo. A. Rose and R. S.
McCoin were appointed a committee
and instructed to buy a pair of fire
horses. You delayed the action of
tho committee until Mr. Rose's term
of office expired. Then at the urgent
request and the demand of the com
missioners and the citizens of the
town, you asked your friend Robert
Brame to go with me to Baltimore
and represent you in the purchase of
these horses, stating that you had
full confidence in Mr. Brame's judg
ment, and whatever we did would be
satisfactory to you. Upon their
arrival in Henderson, you approved
of our action and said they were all
right. I therefore say that you and
I bought the horses, and I am proud
of my part of it.
What did the town buy them for?
I will state you were on the commit
tee for more than six months to buy
these horses, that during this time,
you looked at several horses in Hen
derson and in Richmond, and that
you spent th town's money going
to Richmond to examine the horses
and if you did not in all that time
find out what the town wanted with
these horse, I will unhesitatingly say
that your ward is badly in need of a
new commissioner.
Your writing is proof positive of
Vt' lost confidence in the ability of
L r n tminissioners to govern my contention and if the people of
, - lown, and was not this proven i TiPTlriprflnn nrA nrtt. nrin that
u,I"-ively when the Legislature
n-d the act creating the Hendar-
JU rTaded Schools, and placed the
aiiaoement m the jjjg Gf a per.
-'-iat:r,g board, thereby forever re-
Henderson are not convinced that
there are some changes needed on
our board, then Henderson, like
Ephraim, is joined to her idols, and
to say more would be casting pearls
before swine. R. S. McCOIN.
The 'Town Fathers" and the New
Sanitary Ordinance.
The Henderson Gold Leaf has been,
during the last few weeks, the medium
for a good deal of criticism directed
toward the so-called "town fathers."
Without expressing any opinion as
to the merits or demerits of these
criticisms, I desire to say that they
have been one-sided. Honest criti
cism must not be censorious merely.
It must commend the good as well
as condemn the evil. I desire to take
my place for a moment among the
critics of our commissioners that I
may lift my voice in applause of at
least one of their deeds their crea
tion of our new sanitary ordinaire.
This ordinance, for the protection
of the health of the town, is pro
nounced by the ladies of the Civic
League to be the most important
that has been passed by the com
missioners of our town in :he last
quarter of a century. This state
ment may seem rather strong to
some, but 1 for one have no disposi
tion to question its accuracy. From
the time that primitive men slaugh
tered their neighbors that thevmiirht
enlarge their hunting grounds, to
the present, when organized wealth
crushes the weak that their wealth
may increase, the world has always
valued property above human life.
Even to-day, nineteen hundred vears
after the Great Teacher demonstrat
ed the value and the dignity of hu
man life, the law-makers and judges
of every Christian land stop their
ears to the cry of the widow and the
orphan lest, in correcting the abuses
against which the Isaiahs of everv
age have declaimed, they "injure bus
iness." In view of this age-long and
raco-old predjudice, it is no little
thing that our commissioners ha ve
passed an ordinance that will involve
the spending of a thousand or two
dollars by the community, and all
for no other reason than that the
health of the community may be
safe-guarded.
Of course it will not be forgotten
that a large portion of our gratitude
for the ordinance under considera
tion is due to our efficient, up-to-date
health officer. Dr. R. T. Pp
church. It is due to his untiring ef
forts, as well as to the cooperation
of our commissioners, that the town
has received this boon for which we
are giving thanks.
Unquestionably there will be some
who will object to the ordinance.
Some will object on the old, old
ground of expense. Others, because
the3T have not yet been educated to
see the value of such things. Still
others will find fault with what they
call interference in their own private
affairs. One of the most interesting
things to be noted in connection
with the evolution of the race toward
higher forms of civilization is .the ob
stinacy with which men resist every
force that tends to socialize them
to make them good neighbors anil
public spirited citizens. "Conscious
ness of kind," which is, according to
the great thought of Professor Gid
dings, what Jesus meant by love,
is the highest product of a ripen
ed Christian civilization and Christ
ian character. If we do not find this
consciousness very highly developed
in all of our citizenship, we need not
be discouraged nor surprised it is
capable of rapid growth. This spirit,
which is converting men into neigh
bors, and bringing them into sub
jection to the "Golden Rule," is fill
ing the earth, and is daily express
ing itself in some of the greatest
movements of the ages. Something
of this spirit is shown in the banish
ment of the hogs from Henderson,
and in the sanitary ordinance under
consideration, and it will not be long
till every citizen of the town will be
sufficiently unselfish and public spir
ited to thank the commissioners
who dared to tax them slightly for
their neighbor's good.
1 cannot close these comments
without adding that there is one
thing that mars my joy at the pas-1
e or this Jaw, which means so
much for the sanitary conditions of
our town. I refer to the fact that,
our industrial suburbs, North and
South Henderson, are not to share
in these benefits. The same sanitary
regulations that prevail in our city
should be enforced there. Until this
is done the little ones in these com
munities will continue to succumb to
filth diseases as they have done in
the past. And we ourselves cannot
hope to be immune if we allow infec
tion to be bred so close to our back
doors. J. W. MORGAN.
Fashionable Gambling.
J. A. Stradley, in Oxford Banner.
T IrinL-inrr TcV.5al.-oxr -nrfl nlnvin
theatre going, dancing, dishonesty
and gambling are all common but
popular vices that are undermining
characters and wrecking homes and
lives. Gambling is classed among
the worst of . vices and all civilized
countries forbid it by law. No place
is considered more corrupt and ruin
ous than a gambling den. These,
with houses of ilf-fame, are the low
est depths of degradation.
But w"here do young men learn to
gamble? Not with professional gam
blers. No young man with two "rains
f nso would stake his money in a
game with professional gamblers as
he knows he would be beaten every
time. Ho knows he must learn the
use of cards before he stakes money
on a game. But where can men
learn to bo expert players? The
most fascinating opportunities are
constantly afforded them. The most
fashionable "society" ladies of towns
and communities have frequent card
parties at their homes where gentle
men and ladies meet and spend hours
of hard study to learn how to play
cards and win prizes. Many of them
become the shrewdest of card play
ers. What is gambling but card
playing? What is the difference in
playing for gold cups, spoons, etc.,
and playing for money? Can any
one show any difference?
Many young men become expert
gamblers in these fashionable card j
parties, and then thoy feel they can
try their hand with professional gam
blers and thus they enter the road to
utter ruin having been started by
the fashionable card party.
It is sad, supremely sad, thatchris
tian homes, and so many of them
too, are beh g used as schools where
the foundation principles of gam
bling are taught. Is t here nothing
better in this large world for Chris
tians to do?
Worldliness is sapping the life
blood of Christianity and Christ is
betrayed in the house of his friends.
Order of Board of Health.
To All Teachers, Parents, Commit
teemen and School Children:
Smallpox is rapidly spreading over
the county and State and unless
checked our homes will be filled with
this dire disease.
The Board of Health of Vance
county, in its efforts to protect the
children of the county, have passed
the following resolution:
"No child shtill enter the public
schools of Vance county who does
not present to his teacher a certifi
cate of immunity from smallpox,
either through recent vaccination -or
previous attack of tho disease."
Section 20, Chapter 02, of Public
Laws, says:
"If any parent, guardian, school
committee, principal or teacher shall
permit a child to violate such a re
quirement of the aforesaid authori
ties he shall be guiify of a misde
meanor, and fined not less than ten
dollars nor more than fifty dollars."
The vaccine points can be gotten
from any druggist. Tho chairman
of tho county commissioners has
been asked to order 2,000 to be fur
nished free. The doctors of the
county have kindly offered their ser
vices and there remains no excuse
why a parent should allow a child to
run the risk longer.

Tbe Farmers to the Bat.
(Burlington News.)
Tho cotton farmers have deter
mined Jo hold their cotton for 14
and lo cents. The tobacco farmers
propose to hold their tobacco for a
ugher price. They are busy effect
ing their organizations to this end.
And if they are careful and business
like they will perfect an organization
that will enable them to carry out
these determinations.
The fact is that labor and farm
machinery has advanced to such an
extent that farmers must have these
prices or they can nmke no money.
1 he manufacturer places the prices
on his goods in keeping with the cost
of production, and if he can't get
these prices, lie stops business until
prices go up or else ho holds his prod
ucts for better prices, and there is
no reason w hy the farmer should not
do tho same.
What Worried the Old Man.
A peculiar instance of connubial af
fection occurred some time ago in
Vermont. An aged couple, who
through half a century of married
life had wrangled with each other,
were in all probability soon to be
separated. The husband was taken
ill and was believed to be near his
end. The old wife came to his bed
side, and after carefully examining
and taking stock of his condition,
exclaimed:- "Well, daddy, your feet
are cold, 3 our hands are cold and
your nose is cold."
"Wa'ak'let 'em be cold."
" W'y, daddy, you're goin' to die."
"Wa'al, 1 guess I know what I'm
about."
"Daddy, what's to become of me if
you dir?"
"I dunno, and I don't care. What
I want to know is, what's to become
of me?"

mother was thrown into a state of
marked perturbation.
"Mercy!" she exclaimed, in horror;
"how on earth, my child, did you
get your clothes and face in such a
state?"
"1 was trying to keep a little boy
from getting lieked," was Harold's
virtuous, if hesitating reply.
"Well, that was fine," said his

you, sonny. Who was the little
boy?"

George Darr McCutebeon's popular
romance, "tlrauatark," in play form
will be presented at the Grand Thea
tre Friday night, September 22nd.
This attraction comes here with the
stamp of approval of New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg and other cities.
It is a romantic drama of the latest
pattern, embracing love episodes,
thrilling situations and startling
climaxes, with a pure vein of delight
ful humor interwoven in its marvel
lous plot. Mr. MeCutcheon's style
is somewhat different from that of
other authors; he is distinctly origi
nal using methods and phraseology
that are all his own, therefore, his
stories are always interesting and
refreshing. "Graustark" is the book
