THE CALL OF CRITICISM.
Dies in Far Away Nebraska.
The following account of the death
of Mr. Henry Carroll, Sr., which oc
curred recently at Fremont, Neb.,
was taken from a Nebraska news
paper and sent to the Gold Leaf
with the request to publish. Mr.
Carroll lived for a number of years
in Vance county, in the vicinity of
Henderson, and was well and favor
ably known to many readers of this
paper:
Henry Carroll, Sr., a well known
resident of Fremont, passed away at
his home on North C street about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Death
was due to a general physical break
down incident to old age. The final
call came for Mrs. Carroll last April
and since that time Mr. Carroll's
health has been in a precarious con
dition. Funeral services will be held
at the residence of his son, Tom Car
roll, 1250 C street at 2:30 p. ra.,
Friday, Rev. J. Frank Reed officiat
ing. Mr. Carroll was born in Lockport,
N. Y., May 24, 1824, being more
than 87 years of age at the time of
his death. He had been a resident
of Fremont for twenty-fiveyears and
had an extensive acquaintance. He
was known to all his friends as
"Grandpa" Carroll, and was as dear
to them as the name implies. Last
fall Mr. and Mrs. Carroll celebrated
their sixty-second wedding anniver
sary, January 2, 1911. Mr. Carroll
was a devout member of the Presby
terian church and lyxs been an elder
in the church for some years.
He leaves two sons, W. A. and
Tom Carroll, both well known busi
ness men of Fremont.
This Man Never Wore Clothes.
Atlanta, July .11. Word comes to
Atlanta via the North Georgia moun
tains of a strange man named John
Castollow, who has grown to be 01
years old, hale, hearty and happy
without ever wearing a stitch of
clothing and without ever using a
single word but the monosyllable,
"Gee."
Says a traveler from Young Harris
describing the marvellous person:
"He lives four miles east of Wind
sor, in Bertie county, N. C, and his
health is perfect, not having missed
a meal in fifty years. AVhen I visit
ed him he was entirely nude. He is
the strongest man I ever saw. His
body is normal and well shaped, but
his strength is prodieious. He can
break a double plow-line as easily as
if it were a cotton cord. He is gen
tle and has never been known to hurt
a living soul intentionally. He can
not speak a single word except the
one monosyllable, "Gee," which has
uses, in varied intonations to ex
press all his desires and emotions."
Listen Young Jlen.
Boys, when you speak of your
father, don't call him the "old man."
Of course you are older now than
when you were taught to call him
father. You are much smarter than
you were then, you are much more
manly looking, your clothes fit you
better, your hat has a modern shape
and your hair is combed differently.
You are, in short, flyer than you
were then. Your father has a last
year's coat, a two-year-old hat and
a vest of still older pattern. He
can't write such an elegant note as
you can, and all that, but don't call
him "the old man." Call him father.

Some Latter-Day Parables Aaent the
Freer Use of Paint and the. Health
of Our Town Let Us Cure. Not
Cover Up.
Once upon a time there was a doc
tor who had a patient with a cancer.
The doctor applied external remedies,
ointments and patches, finally cured
the outer surface of the cancer and
pronounced the patient well. The
evening of the same day, which was
the last day of the patient the un
dertaker came along and took hi-n
He was dead.
This story of the doctor illustrates
the attitude of the people of Hender
son, in at least some things. We
have a chamber of commerce now ad
vertising the town by the external
application method trying to per
suade outside people and capital to
come to Henderson and hollering in
megaphones at them that the town
is all right and prosperous. Would
it not be equally as well for us to
get ourselves right inwardly first.
What good does it do to tell a stran
ger how great and prosperous we are
when he can see with his own e;, es
that practically every business block
in Henderson needs paint. Why try
to conceal this fact by sticking our
heads in the sand. Paint is certainly
an advertisement of prosperity. You
can't fatten old Dobbin without
making his hair shine to save your
life. I never could understand why a
man would not paint his own prop
erty. The newspaper in any community
is the mouthpiece of the community.
The policy of the newspapers of our
town for years past has been to
patch up our infirmities outwardly
rather than to make it hot for our
folks on the inside. For instance,
there has been criticism of our town
government for years, enough to ex
haust the dictionary of the devil, yet
no reports adversely have been made
by our papers and our town govern
ment, the most public thing in the
town, has been neglected by the
press. It is the duty of our newspa
pers to punch as well as to pat.
The latest illustration of our atti
tudes to conceal rather than to erad
icate is this: The health officer of
the town has just made his report
for the last twelve months. Of the
seventy-one deaths during the year
twenty-eight of them were preventa
ble. That is to sy, if our sanita
tion had been better we might have
saved twenty -eight lives, worth finan
cially to the town, according to the
government appraisement, between
forty and fifty thousand dollars.
Now there is a sentiment to conceal
these F.nd other facts because it is
bad advertising for the town. An
other instance of where we try to
show a wholesome body when as a
matter of fact we are dying and rot
ting within. The disadvantage of
concealing these things makes it very
hard for the health officer and town
government to convince the individ
ual of the importance of sanitation
and makes it harder for the officers
of the law to enforce the laws of re
form along the lines of sanitation
such laws as are likely to be enacted
in the next few months.
The point I wish to make is this:
In all things relating to our town we
should root out the evils rather than
try to cover them up. Lt's cut out
all cancers rather than cover them
up. Let's be sound in body from
bone to skin and the investigating,
investing, outside public will be able
to detect our growth, prosperity
and health by the roses in oureheeks.

and also wore plasters, but I found no
relief. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally

A Orand and Glorious Region The

tern Railway a Builder, and Devel
oper Lenoir and the North Caro
lina Press Association.
The more I go into Western North
Carolina the more I am impressed with
the greatness and grandeur of that sec
tion of this glorious old State of ours
its fine climate and beautiful scenery, its
wealth of forests and fertile fields, its
vast waterpowersand mineral resources,
and its still greater wealth of splendid
c.iizenship.
A recent visit to Lenoir on the occa
sion of the thirty-ninth annual conven
tion of the North Carolina Press Associa
tion was another revelation to me. How
the town has grown and improved since
I first knew it. And the country round
about has kept pace with the general
progress.
Twenty-two years ago the best meet
ing in the history of the North Carolina
rress Association, according to the dec-
taxation of Josephus Daniels made in I census of 1910 is 3.3G4.
nis very nappy address in response to
the welcoming speeches delivered by
Mayor Met 'all and Lieutenant-Governor
W. C. Newland, met in Lenoir. I had
the honor to preside over the delibera
tions of that meetinghaving been elected
president the previous year at Morebead
City.
W. W. McDiarmid, of blessed memory,
was elected president at the meeting in
Lenoir. Across the long stretch of years
that has intervened since methinks I can
hear his jolly laugh and see his happy
smile even now as he was escorted to
the rostrum and assumed the duties of
his new office. "Mc." tried to look se
rious and dignified, but failed in the at
tempt. Fact is there was precious little
dignity about that whole convention
the "colts" ran wild and capered almost
to the verge of being corraled by the
sergeant-at-arms and falling under the
disfavor of T. B. Eldridge, the constitu
tion and by-laws and the "whip" of the
convention.
That was a memorable meeting wheth
er it was the best in the history of the
Association or not. There were a lot of
bright men in that convention fellows
of infinite jest, the recalling of whose
names brings mingled feelings of pleas
ure and sadness some dead, others
upon whom the hand of affliction has
been sorely laid, and none of usasyoung
and buoyant, as elastic of step and as
clear of eye as we were then.
The sessions of the convention were
held in the spacious auditorium of Da
venport College, as they were in 1889.
This is a delightful location on one of
the highest elevations of the town and
most of the editorial party were quar
tered here, the college under the excellent
management of Rev. James Braxton
Craven, president, being converted into
a temporary hotel for the accommoda
tion of the editors.
The people of Lenoir gave the editors
such a welcome as only the Lenoir people
can and entertained them in hospitable
style during their two days stay. The
convention was well attended aud Sec
retary Sherrill'a promise that it would
lie one of the most pleasant and profita
ble meetings in years was in every way.
from that grand conning tower of
Nature, I realized as 1 had not before
The sun shines clearer,
And Heaven seems nearer,
In Lenoir.
This is an ideal place to live in summer
of winter. Nature has been prodigal
in her gifts and the good people here
have done their part in seizing opportu
nity and improving it.
From a small railroad hamlet when I
visited it the first time Lenoir has
grown into one of the most important
and prosperous of our mountain towns.
Situated on a group of hills in a beauti
ful valley, with an deration of 1,200
feet above sea level, surrounded by
mountains, fanned by cooling breezes in
summer and protected in winter by the
sheltering arms of lofty ranges to the
north and west from the bleak winds
which sweep the more exposed sections
of the country, Lenoir is indeed a fa
vored spot.
The town has long 'been noted for its
high moral and religious tone, and the
educational advantages are all that
conld be; wished. That it is what its
slogan signifies, "The Town That
Grows," is shown from the fact that it
has increased its population 181 per
cent, within the last ten years. The
number of inhabitants according to the
A number of prosperous manufacturing
plants are located here three large
cotton mills, six furniture factories, two
chair factories, one veneer plant, one
basket factory, four wood-working and
house furnishing establishments, one
sash, door and blind factory, two box
factories, two roller mills, foundry and
machine shops, five wholesale lumber
yards, saw mills and various other
kinds of industrial enterprises.
The town is electric lighted and its
water and sewerage system is one of the
finest in the State. The water supply is
taken from, a pure mountain stream
gushing from the Green Mountains
seven miles from the town and is pro
tected by a 200-acre original forest
water shed. The water is supplied by
gravity flow and shows a pressure of
170 pounds to the square inch in the
center of town.
Two banks with a combined capital of
over half a million of dollars, one weekly
and one semi-weekly newspaper, a splen
didly equipped graded school with over
500 pupils enrolled and Davenport Col
lege for girls, a meritorious institution
which has an established reputation, all
the different religious denominations
having handsome houses of worship and
the town dotted with many elegant
homes, Lenoir is an ideal mountain
town, with every conceivable advantage
its own and has just begun to grow.
But Lenoir's greatest asset is its citi
zenship. It is the home of hospitality,
and refinement, long known as "The
Athens of North Carolina."
The editors were given a drive over
the town ii carriages and automobiles
and the different places and objects of
interest pointed out to them. Many of
the machines were driven by their own
ers, individuals and the Chamber of
Commerce vieing with each other in
playiog the host. Nor were the ladies
forgotten.br omitted. They were given
a lovely reception at the beautiful new
home of Mrs. II. C. Martin by the ladies
of the Wise and Otherwise club, of which
Mrs. Martin is a prominent member, the
occasion being graced by the leading so
ciety women of the town. Mrs. Martin
was assisted by her beautiful and ac
fulfilled. .1 he sequel showed (to those j Complished young daughter, Miss Julia
who htvi not been there before) that a
wise choice was made when Lenoir was
selected as the place of meeting this
year. Those of us who had been there
before knew what to expect. Everybody
went away singing the praises of Lenoir
and the Lenoir people. It was a pleasure
to the writer to renew many pleasant
acquaintances formed on a previous
visit.
I was awakened early the first morn
ing by the chattering of a colony of
English sparrows near my window. As
I listened to the plaintive notes of a dove
in the distance and heard the familiar
voice of a Bob White calling to his mate,
I thought
The dove coos softer,
And the birds chirp ofter,
In Lenoir.
Then as I went out on the college
campus and enjoyed the pure freBh
breezes blown direct from the mountains
and cooled by shaded dells and spark
ling streams, the further thought came
that
The grass grows greener,
And life is sarener,
In Lenoir.
Health and happiness is the portion of
these people and they are justly proud of
their goodly heritage.
The flowers grow sweeter,
And the ladies dress neater,
In Lenoir.
There are no hobble skirts here. This
stjle of dress is not conducive to moun
tain climbing or getting in and out of
vehicles on the off side of the hill.
The skies are bluer,
And the ozone purer,
In Lenoir.
Later when we took the drive to
Hibriten and viewed the landscape o'er
Martin, who has just graduated. Each
guest was presented with a souvenir in
the form of adainty hand painted picture
of some mountain or mountain scenery
around Lenoir.
One of the features of entertainment
was a drive to Hibriten mountain, five
miles distant, easily accessible by a first
rate turnpike, and luncheon in the pa
vilion there. Hibriten is the western
most of the Brushies and rises to a
height of 2,250 feet, commanding a
splendid view of the surrounding coun
try. From this point one of the finest
views which all our mountain country
affords is to be had. I have seen noth
ing that surpasses it anywhere nor
have I seen its equal anywhere in Amer
ica outside of North Carolina. For miles
and miles up and down the valley and
across toward the north and west until
mountain tops and sky seem to come to
gether and sight is lost in the mist-like
haze that rims the horizon there is
spread out a picture the varied coloring
and magnificent beauty of which lan
guage fails me to describe. A grand
mosaic fresh from the hand of the
Omnipotent Artist of the Universe
wrought in the great Studio of Nature,
the view from Hibriten is worth going
miles to see and once Been the vivid im
pression made and inspiring feeling
stirred will linger long in the memory of
the beholder.
Lenoir was fortunate in the building
of the Carolina & Northwestern Rail
way, of which it was for a long time the
northern terminus. This town occupies
a commanding position in the midst of a
rich and prosperous country upon which
Nature has been most generous in the
bestowal of her favors. The railroad
has been extended to Edgemont, twenty
