Portrait of Col. Cheek.
A handsome portrait in oil of the late
Col. W. H. Cheek, of Henderson, has been
received by State Librarian M. 0. Sher
rill, to be hung in the State Library. It
is a present from the children of Col.
Cheek, who was Colonel of the First
North Carolina Cavalry from 186- to
18(55. Aews and Observer. "
The portrait in question is the one
that was exhibited at the old soldiers'
reunion, which was addreesed by
Tasker Polk, Esq. It was executed
by Miss Sue Hall, one of North Caro
lina's most gifted artists, and the
work has been much admired by
those who have seen it. The picture
represents Col. Cheek as he appeared
during the war, wearing the Confed
erate grey uniform of his rank. The
Golo Leaf is glad the portrait of
this gallant soldier has been placed
with those of other distinguished
North Carolinians in the State Li

Concerning a Henderson Man.
A special to the Charlotte Observer
from Washington under date of the
15th, says Pension Commissioner
Ware has called on II. H. Burwell, of
North Carolina, one of his clerks, to
show cause why he should not be dis
missed for "dealing in stocks, and for
conduct unbecoming a gentleman
and a government employe."
It appears that Mr.'Burwell and a
man named Dudley recently had an
altercation in i brokerage office and'
Burwell was fined in the police court
for assault. The Commissioner has
just heard of it, although the occur
rence took place some weeks ago, as
we learn from the Washington Post,
and it is out of this that the present
affair arises.
Mr. Burwell is a Henderson man.
and the item concerning him will be
read with interest. He has a $1,400
position, and as there are plenty of
otners elamoringlor the place he may
be made to walk the plank for parti
san purposes. His numerous friends
here await the outcome "with anxiety.

Miss Georgia Ray MacMillan.
The entertainment given at Cooper
Opera House last Thursday evening,
under the auspices of the King's
Daughters, was one of the most ar
tistic and enjoyable events of the
season. Music was furnished by the
Henderson Orchestra, and this was a
very delightful feature. Miss Georgia
Ray MacMillan, the talented and ac
complished elocutionist, delighted
the audience with her readings. She
had been seen and heard here before,
and the good impression she made
then was fully sustained on this occa
sion. Miss MacMillan is a singularly
gifted young woman charming in
manner, graceful, bewitching, with
a pleasing stage presence, and capti
vates her audience by the artistic fin
ish, subtle power and dramatic force
of her work.
In addition to this, there was a
chrvanthemum show and ice cream
festival, and the amount realized was
quite encouraging.
t hese good women, laboring in the
noble cause they are, deserve the
highest praise for their efforts, and
the thanks of all whose privilege it
was to be at the Opera House Thurs
day night are due them for the rare
pleasure enjoyed.

CAPTAIN CAIN IN TROUBLE.
Popular Seaboard Air Line Conductor
Has An Unusual Experience with
Motherless Babies Grave Charge
Brought Against Him.
One of the cleverest and most popular
conductors on the Seaboard Air Line
Railway noted for the gallant and
courteous men in its passenger service
is Captain Louis Cain. He is known from
one end of the line to the other, and to
know him is to like him. And when he
gets into trouble there is distress in more
hearts than one.
Captain Cain ia a bachelor (throueh
choice, of course,) but there is no greater
admirer of women or lover of children.
And it is this predominating trait in his
character that got our friend into trou
ble last, Friday it is alleged. As passen
gers on his train out of Portsmouth was
a woman and two small children, pre
sumably about one year and a half and
two months old respectively. All went
weu until Weldon was reached. The
mother got off and went to a 6tore some
distance away. The train stayed its
usual time and pulled out. Returning
some minutes later and discovering that
uk iituu wan gone, me muuier wasiran- I
tic. Her babes were comfortably wrap
ped and slumbering sweetly on two seats
turned facing one another. After awhile
one of them waked up. It started a yell.
This aroused No. 2. They set up a howl
in unison. The chorus was kept up until
the passengers became desperate. Capt.
Cain came to the rescue. The mother was
sought in vain. He could afford no relief.
But it was his business and the passen
gers would hear no excuse. The situa
tion was becoming critical to the con
ductor at least. Would he be charged
with kidnapping the infants? Perhaps
those who did not know him would be
lieve so. Bat he didn't want them. And
nobody else would take them. The moth
er was not there to claim her own. What
should he do?
Capt. Cain's feelings at the situation in
which he found himself can better be im
agined than described. In the meantime
Roanoke Junction was reached. The
telegraph wires were brought into ser
vice. Communication was established
with the mother in Weldon. What was
to be done? There she was here were
the bawling babies six miles away.
Permission was asked to sidetrack the
train and go back with the engine to Wel
don and bring the mother to take pos
session of and quiet the tumult that was
going on with her precious progeny. That
would delay matters too long. The re
quest was not complied with. Orders
came to put the babies in charge of the
agent at Roanoke Junction with instruc
tions that he convey them to Weldon and
safe delivery make to their rightful claim
ant at the earliest practical moment.
Orders were obeyed, and the last seen
of the infants terrible they were in a hack
one in the lap of the agent, the other
between the knees of the driver, both
kicking and squalling, the caravan head
ed toward Weldon, while Capt. Cain pro
ceeded with his tram, happier every mile
that the distance was widened between
them.
And they do say that since that little
episode our hero will not even look at
a picture of himself taken when he was
a baby.
Not a Sick Day Since.
'I was taken severely sick with kidney
trouble.. I tried all sorts of medicines, none
of which relieved me. One day I saw an ad.
of your Electric Bitters and determined to
try that. After taking a few doses I felt re
lieved, and soon thereafter was entirely cured,
and have not seen a sick day since. Neigh
bors of mine have been cured of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Liver and Kidney troubles and
General Debility." This is what B. F. Bass,

them that they should? If our corps
of teachers were training young
horses or dogs for our citizens, the
owners thereof would flock to see how
their precious possessions were pro
gressing. But it is only our children
they are training, and we neglect to
visit the schools, and many do not
inquire how they are succeeding and
seem to take little interest, except to
criticise and censure, and this in the
presence of their children, thus en-
couraging them to disloyalty aud
uisoueuience in scnooi.
"School teachers assume a grave
responsibility and should receive sym
pathy and help from all concerned,
especially parents who entrust their
precious little tines to their care.
Some of our teachers are strangers.
Have you given them a kindly wel
come and assured them of your sym
pathy and support?
"The school in which teachers, pupils
and the homes of the pupils harmon
ize for the one purpose of drawing
forth best results from and for the
child must be one in which there is a
manifest interest on the part of each
for the other. In other words, co
operation is the kej'-note."

A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases of a cold,
deep-seated on the lungs, causing pneumouia.
is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion,
Ind., who was entirely cured by the use of
One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The
coughing and straining so weakened me that
I ran down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds.
I tried a number of remedies to no avail until
I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles
of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of
the cough, strengthened my lungs and re
stored me to my normal weight, health and
strength." Sold at Parker's Two Drug
Stores. -

during the critical stage of his illness
returned yesterday. His daughter. Miss

to her parents for several weeks, has re
