THURSDAY, MAY, 25, 1911.
The festive mosquito has arrived
on schedule time.
Next month is the month of June
bugs and June brides.
Summer is the best time to adver
tise, because it is the dullest season
of the year, when live, effective ad
vertising is most needed.
Now let the new Chamber of Com
merce fix its heart on something
good for Ilenderson and never let up
until it succeeds in landing it.
Mr. Simmons has long been consid
ered one of the very shrewdest poli
ticians in the State, and he will now
have an opportunity to show his
hand.
Possibly Judge Clark was expect
ing the office tofseek the man, but
may have been a little fearful that
when it did it would find the other
fellow.
The Standard Oil Company has
succeeded in putting all the indepen
dent concerns out of business, and it
will reap a much deserved reward if
the courts now succeed in putting it
out.
Something ought to be done to the
paragrapher of the Durham Sun.
Here is one of his latest get-offs:
"We are waiting to see if the Su
preme Court is going to chew up the
tobacco trust or just smoke it out."
When the new railroad from
Greensboro to this city and the one
from here to Wilson shall have both
bee', built, Henderson will then be
coming along as an important and
growing railroad center.
"Potato bugs are up," observes
Webster's Weekly. They generally
come up with the vines, and from
that time on it is an endurance ra:e
between the vines and bugs to see
which shall get the bsst of it, the lat
ter frequently coming out ahead.
Says one of the Durham papers:
"Those Greensboro gentlemen should
not attempt to race through a town
that has houses on both Bides of the
street." It might have said "should
not race through a town that has
no streets, but only narrow alleys."
Mr. Aycock's friends may have
seemed just a little more backward
than he liked, and so he decided to
get in the race and do some running
on his own account. In this he has
acted wisely, for the man who de
pends too much upon his friends in
this day and time is liable to get
left.
It was just like Durham to fly into
a jealous rage, when she found out
she was to have no part or lot in the
new railroad, and try to break it up
by arresting and annoying the pro
moters of the scheme. Had the new
road been coming to Durham, no
one there would have thought of the
speed limit.
The senatorial contest in North
Carolina for Senator Simmons' seat
is going to be no tame affair, now
that four of the very ablest and most
popular men in the State have enter
ed the race, and instead of having an
off year in politics, as many had hop
ed wonld be the case, we are to have
one of the hardest fought contests
the State has witnessed in many
years.
Let's not forget to remember, as
we go along sweltering and melting
during these hot days, that one of
the crying needs of this city is a nice,
cool park, to which the ladies and
children may retreat these long, op
pressive afternoons for a little rest
and recreation. Now is the time to
start the ball rolling for the park,
while the need of it meet be plainly
apparent to every thoughtful citizen.
In his address before the American
Cotton Manufacturers' Association
at Richmond last week, President D.
Y. Cooper said the cotton crop of
1910-'ll would be worth 11,000,000,
000, or twice as much as the output of
all the gold mines of the world combin
ed for the same year. Mr. Cooper is
a man who makes careful, conserva
tive figures on all subjects that he
deals with, and his conclusion in this
instance is based npon facts.
We are very sorry that we have
forgotten what editor wrote the fol
lowing, but he is a writer after our
own heart. Sounds like our good
Iriend Editor Green of the Carolina
Union Farmer: "Cneer up, boys,
blackberries will soon be here, and
then we can all live. The Lord feeds
the ravens, and has given us the
blessed blackberries that bloom with
out the work of mankind, and ripen
at a time when the good old summer
time makes us too lazy to work."
According to a statement just
made to a well. known newspaper
correspondent in Washington by
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Royall E. Cabell, moonshining is
flourishing to a greater extent right
here in prohibition North Carolina
than in almost any other State in
the Union. Whether the statement
be true or not, it certainly does not
make very delightful reading matter
for our people who stand for a better
state o! affairs, and is by no means a
good advertisement of our State topper cent, over that of last year. In
be spread broadcast over the coun
try. Mr. Cabell goes on to say it is
a matter of common knowledge that
illicit manufacture and sale of dis
tilled spirits is distressingly preva
lent throughout the greater portion
of the State and the records will
show that a surprisingly large num
ber of illicit plants are captured each
year. Even this, if it went no further,
would be a most deplorable situa
tion. But Mr. Cabell severely ar
raigns State officers for a lack of co
operation with United States revenue
officers in putting down the block
aders, which makes it much worse.
He says: "I am informed that the
State laws of North Carolina .are
very drastic relative to the manufac
ture and sale of distilled spirits, but
it appears that State officers do very
little to prevent or punish for the
violation of this law, though I sus
pect that there are one hundred State
officers to every one internal revenue
officer." This is not the nrst time
that such lack of co-operation haB
been complained of, and if there is
any just ground for such complaint
it is high time that a rigid investiga
tion was instituted by the. proper
authorities and that all such derelict
State officers be required to perform
their duties or give place to those
who will. We suspect that one of
the main troubles in North Carolina
just at this point grows out of the
factthat a great many State officers
are not in sympathy with our State
prohibition laws and the blockaders
know it.
Up in New York the other day a
certain poor fellow wns suddenly
seized with the notion that he was a
real monkey and at once proceeded
to climb a tree right in front of Miss
Helen Gould's magnificent home at
Fifth avenue and Forty-6eventh
street. Once up the tree he created
no little merriment among the passers-by
by chattering and swinging
from limb to limb just as he had seen
monkeys do. For the space of half
an hour he furnished more amuse
ment than Fifth avenue had seen for
many a day, while three policemen,
climbing from branch to branch,
sought to dislodge him. He told
them he had been reading in the Sun
day papers how monkeys were re
ceived and soon became favorites iu
the homes of Fifth avenue million
aires, and he had decided to adopt
this method of gaining admission
into the high social circles of that
neighborhood. Now all of that may
sound very funny. But it serves to
remind us of the fact that we don't
have to go all the way up to New
York to find fellows who are willing
to make monkeys or almost any
thing else out of themselves in order
to attract a little passing attention
from the rich. And the rich get as
much fun out of all such fools as do
the poor passers-by.
The Gold Leaf man made a trip
out to the pumping station a few
days ago, and Mr. J. P. Wrenn took
a great deal of interest in showing
him through and about the big
plant, carefully explaining all its
different parts and workings. It is
an interesting place for the visitor,
and one of the things that most at
tracts his attention is the large res
ervoir of pure, clear water just out
side the building, which has just
passed through the large filtering
plant and is ready to be forced, by
the powerful steam pumps, through
the big mains into the stand pipe.
The water in the reservoir, although
about ten feet deep when full, is so
clear that you can see a pin on the
bottom. It is as clear as crystal and
so far as one can discover there is
not a particle of impurity in it. If
anyone in Henderson has any hesi
tancy in drinking the city water, we
will guarantee that just one peep In
to that big reservoir will make him
or her good and thirsty. Everything
about the pumping station has a
neat and cleanly air and it is well
kept, all of which speaks well for
those in charge.
What is in the way of making
Henderson a convention city, now
that we have as good hotel facilities
as any city in the State three or four
times the size of ours? We might
not be able to secure many of the
larger conventions, it is true, but
there are many of the smaller ones
that we could land if we went after
them in earnest. In addition to our
first class hotel accommodations, we
also have most excellent railroad
facilities, our city being easily ac
cessible to all parts of the State.
One of Henderson's greatest needs
today is a live, well organized and
directed Yonng Men's Christian Asso
ciation. And while we are pulling
for other good things we should not
longer overlook this one. Such an
organization would be the means of
lifting many of the young men of the
city to a better and higher life. The
Gold Leaf submits this proposition
for the careful and earnest considera
tion of our faithful pastors and all
religious workers in the community.
If conditions continue favorable
from now on, everything points to a
bumper cotton crop the coming sea
son. From all reports there is a
very large increase in the cotton
acreage all over the South, and in
addition to this fact intensive farm
ing methods will be practiced more
extensively this year than ever before.
The State Department of Agriculture
estimates that the cotton acreage in
North Carolina this season will be
1.522.800. an increase of about 8
view of these facts he is a wise
farmer who has arranged to raise
his "hog and hominy" at home this
year, and it is possibly not yet too
late for others to follow suit.
Ex-Governor Aycock, who has for
a long while been considered Senator
ial timber in this State, and who has
for some time past been at least a
receptive candidate for that honor,
on last Saturday publicly announced
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, to succeed Senator Simmons.
His announcement was made in a
letter to Colonel Nathan Whitfield,
of Kinston, who is Mr. Aycock's
personal friend. Mr. Aycock is a
strong man, of great popularity
throughout the State, and he will
undoubtedly put up a good raee.
Says the Raleigh News and Ob
server, "There is to be a Declaration
of Independence from bad roads in
North Carolina on the Fourth of
July. It will bo a Glorious Fourth
if it sets the State free from these de
terrents to progress." This is glo
rious news and if every citizen -of
Vance county will come forward and
sign the new Declaration of Indepen
dence on that day, or any other day
right soon, it will be even more glo
rious.
Antoists in Trouble at Durham.
One or two of the Greensboro auto-
mobiliats who were here Wednesday
night of last week in the interest of
the proposed new railroad from that
city to Henderson, via Burlington,
Koxboro and Oxford, ran amuck at
Durham on the return trip Thurs
day afternoon. The Durham Herald
gives the following account of what
happened to them:
"One of the cars appeared to be
trying to break a record and instead,
tore up Alex Edwards' carriage,
which had the misfortune to be
standing between the machine and a
clear street. The damage to the car
riage was not great. It was just
knocked out. The car which was
doing the speed stunt contained
Messrs. G. A. Kicks, C. M. Sides and
G. C. Thomas. When it saw the
steamer of Mr. Z. V. Conyers it shot
forward like a baseball reaching for
the stomach of an amateur short
stop and smote it full in the face.
Glass enough to puncture seven hun
dren tires was spilled there, but there
was no very serious damage done.
The officers arrested the three men
who were in the fast flyer, but Judge
Sykes and Solicitor Chambers were
soon on the spot and yielded to a
proposition to release the gentle
men. They put up bonds."
State Normal Commencement.
Beautiful exercises terminated the
19th annual commencement of the
North Carolina State Normal and
Industrial College Tuesday when 38
young women who have received the
training provided by that institu
tion were presented with the certifi
cates from their alma mater of a sat
isfactory completion of the course
outlined. The institution which was
founded by the great Mclver and has
labored with unremitting efforts for
the uplift and crowning of woman
into an ideal station of life, has com
pleted another year of lofty service,
and the people of the State of North
Carolina have progressed just so
much as the institution in the era
that has become known as educa
tional and that is leading into a
higher plane of existence.
To the importance due by reason
of the fact that it was graduating
day, the day when 'diplomas, Bibles
and constitutions were presented the
members of the class of 1911, an
added importance was claimed by
Tuesday's exercises through the
presence of Governor Kitchin and
Attorney-General Pickett, both of
whom made speeches.
Fleets Tragic Death.
Joseph Wentz, 1 years of age, was
drowned in the Catawba river, a few
miles from Charlotte, Tuesday at noon,
while on a school picnic with his class
mates of the tenth and eleventh grades
of the Charlotte public schools.
Young Wentz was swimming with
several companions near Sloan's Ferry,
12 miles west of the city, when he was
suddenly seen to struggle in the water,
calling loudly for aid at the same time.
Prof. V. B. Davis, cne of the teachers,
tried to reach Wentz in a boat, but with
out avail, and he arose twice and sank
the third time.
Searchers dragged the river until 3:10
p. m., when the body was recovered.
The limbs were drawn and blue, indicat
ing that cramps had seized toe swimmer.

Training ibe New Horses.
The past week has been a busy
one with some of the chief men-ef the
fire department, not infighting fires,
for fortunately there have been none
to flghtj but in getting ready to
fight them more efficiently when they
do come.
The principal task has been the
training for service of the fine new
team of horses that arrived here
from Baltimore about ten days ago,
and it has been no small task either,
butJias been well performed. This
work has been donechiefly by Messrs.
W. P. Mangumand R. H. Falkner.
When the new horses reached Hen
derson - about ten days ago, they
were almost as wild and unruly as
two buffaloes fresh from the western
praries. But today, when the fire
gong rings at the station anLthe
stable doors fly open automatically,
each bounds forward from his stall
and takes his correct position under
the harness as quick as you can say
"Jack Robinson."
Once out of the fire station, they
go bounding along the street with
the big four-ton combination chemi
cal wagon as an ordinary team
would with any common two-horse
vehicle. While their truiuing is a
yet by no means perfect, a stranger
watching their movements even now
would take them to be veterans, of
the city fire department.
Two magnificent blacks, thorough
ly matched in almost every detail,
and weighing respectively 1,G35 and
1,595 pounds, they have been ad
mired by everyone who has seen
them. They have been pronounced
ready for service at any time, should
an emergency arise, aud they will
add much to the efficiency of the fire
department.
A representative of the Gold Leaf
sought to learn if the new horses had
yet been duly christened, and if so,
to ascertain their names. But the
information vouchsafed on this point
was a little confusing. One member
of the department said the one that
works on the right hand side is "Mc
Coin," and the one on the left "Sara
Peace," while another member de
clared that the one on the right has
been formally chsistened "Maurice
O'Neil," and the one ontheleft "Sam
Allen."
Somehow we have a suspicion that
those horses have not yet been
named, and that the "boys" down
at the fire station aresiruply playing
with certain popular names about
town to see which meets the most
general approval of the public before
they attempt to arrive at a final de
cision. State News.

The strawberry shipping season in
Eastern Caroliua has practically
closed, although a few more cars
may be shipped during the coining
week. In round numbers the straw
berry crop this year netted the
truckers in the section of Wilming

$200,000 more than what it was last
season.
The University of North Carolina
is to receive the bequest of ?30,000
from the Peabody" fund, announce

is to be finally distributed this year.
The bulk of the fund is to be given
the Peabody school at Nashville,
Tenn., but severafother institutions
in the Southern States are to be rec
ognized, and it has been learned
that the University of North Caroli
na will be one of these.
Reports from the sections of the
cotton lelt in this State say that the
exceedingly dry weather has greatly
retarded the coming up of the cotton.
For a while it was feared the extreme
cold weather in early May would
cause the seeds to rot in the ground
and this being followed by the hot,
dry weather leads to the belief that
the stand of cotton will not be the
best possible by any means. The
season is a late one, but if there were
a series of showers thecotton con-
idition would be considerably im
proved.

Another Cotton Picker. '
They continue to invent cotton pickers
but so far none have been found suffici
ently satisfactory to be adopted for
common use. The news is sent outfrom
Winston that Col. Oliver II. P. Cornell,
chief engineer of the Winstonalem
Southbound railroad, is the inventor of
a cotton picker which he and his associ
ates are certain will do efficient and
labor and time-saving work, to the
most practical ends. So confident are
Colonel Cornell and associates of the
value of the machine that a company
has been organized for the manufacture
of the cotton picker, with headquarters
at Southmont, a village oft the South
bound railroad, in Davidson county.
