One great trouble with our public
schools is that so many are attempt-,
ing to teach when first of all they ;
need to be taught.
Charlotte has at last bought the
big auditorium there and now has a j
great place of its own in which to
"make a noise" like a nal city.
,
We hardly think that any one of
the four candidates for the Senate
can claim that the Democrats owe
them anything. All have fared well
at the hands o! the Democratic par-1
tj-
It has been no trouble in North
Carolina of late for small occasions
to secure big speakers, since several
of our biggest men are now seeking
high honors at the hands of the dear
people.
It now logins to appear that
Locke Craig is to have the nomina
tion by unanimous consent. Maylie
the other fellows don't think they
stand much of a chance at it nny
way just at this time.
There are a few "Cheap John"
merchants around this town who do
not believe that newspaper advertis
ing pays, but at the same time if
they can manage by hook or crook
to palm off a little puff for their busi
ness on a reporter they think they
have done a great stunt.
Judge Clark has embraced so much
in his platform as a candidate for
fche United States Senate that he has
left very little for the other ft Hows
to stand upon. We had always un
derstood that the Judge was very
much opposed to monopolies, but in
this instance it appears that he has
made a clean sweep of everything in j
sight that might go to make up u :
political candidate's platform. 1
Partridges are among the farm
ers' very l)est friends, and every j
farmer iu Vance county should ate;
to it that they are properly and se- j
curely protected against theslaught- j
er of the huntsman. The millions of j
insects of various kinds that infest ;
the farmers' crops from early spring j
till late fall are among the farmers' I
very worst enemies, and the par-'
tridges Hjtend their whole lives in
destroying these insects. The farm
er who allows the partridges on his !
place to Iwj killed out by hunters dur-!
iug the winter months has no right1
to complain that his crops are dam-j
aged by inserts and worms the fol-
lowing spring and summer.
MEETING AT PERRY'S CHAPEL.
Beginning Monday after the fourth
Sunday, and continuing through
Thursday of the same week I was en
gaged at Perry's Chapel in one of the
most uuique series of meetings that j
I have ever attended. We had from
two to four drenching rains each day.
We sometimes had rain as we were
coming to the church, and so far as j
1 remember, it never failed to ac
company us home. Notwithstand
ing this, we had good congregations
from the beginning. Whatever suc
cess was attained in the meeting was
dne largely to tho faithfulness and
persistence of the members of the
church. The rain persisted also, and
we finally decided to close with the
eighth service. Seven persons, four
women and three men, were received.
Some of the brethren pronounced the
meeting one of the best the church
has ever held.
Perry's Chapel is one of the best
Baptist churches in this section. It
is one of the best country churches
this writer has ever known. We
were delighted with the type of men
and women who compose its member
ship. Young men were prominent at !
all the services. The pastor, Brother
M. Stamps, says little about him
self, and we had not heard of him
till this meeting came. We found
hira, however, one of our strongest
pastors. In body and in spirit he
bears a strong resemblance to our
beloved Dr. K. J. Willingham.
Iu this meeting we learned to know
another of our pastors, Rev. J. F.
Mitchener, recently of Winston-Salem.
Brother Mitchener had just en
tered upon a promising pastorate
at the place named when his nervous
system collapsed. He is now work
ing (at his saw-mil!) and praying
daily for strength in which to resume
his work.
One of the delightful experiences
connected with the meeting under
consideration was my experience
of the Good Roads. Perry's Chapel
Is about half way between Franklin
ton and Loulsburg. I left the train
at Franklinton with some dread of
my trip to the' church six miles
through sand or mud as I supposed.
I soon found, however, that 1 was no
longer in Vance county. The trip
was a delight. There was neither
mud nor sand. We rolled high and
dry over a road built of gravel and
clay, I believe they call it. I have
seen good roads North, and East,
and West, but I have never seen any
that surpass these roads In Franklin
county. One of the brethren took
me by another route to Louisburg,
and I found this road stiil better if
gossible than the one over which I
ad first traveled.
These roads have been recently
built, ind I found the farmers de
lighted withtbem. They constitute
one of the most valuable assets in
the community. They have enbanc-
el the value of real estate. Persons
traveling through the community I
mark it as a desirable place to locate.
Farmers told me that they are able j
ITarmtnLlniAttmHliov nr fll.Ift
M IIIIIH.IO ...V. J 1
l.-.nl ni'(.r IIk.uo ronrld filinlif, twh'ttl
us much as over the old. Then, the
wear an( tear on horses and vehicles
i trrf at Iv reduced, and a eiven dis- j
half !
the time formerly required. A num
ber of the farmers told me that the
amount paid in taxes to support the
roads is a mpre trifle compared with
the amount that is saved in the va
rious ways just enumerated.
But more important than all the
material benelits just named is the
increased joy of living. Why should
a farmer in Vance countv desire to
live when he cannot come to town '
without dragging his wagon or bug- j
gy through sand dunes mile after j
mile? Such road6 if they can bej
called roads as we have in Vance i
county do not belong to cui ization. j
They "belong to another age and j
stage in our development and have
been allowed through our laziness to j
protrude themselves into the pres
ent. Wo trust that the progressive j
. . -r m '
alitor of the Henderson Gold Leaf
will conduct a campaign against
thes sandy anachronisms till the
last onp is no more.

Colored Farmers' Conference.
For the past three years, the col
ored farmers of Vance county have
held a conference some time in
September. These conferences
have proved to be very helpful to the
farmers and those interested in farm
ing. Theobjectofthe.se conferences
is to have the farmers to learn bet
ter methods of farming, the best and
most profitable crops to grow, and
to awaken a greater interest in the
farm.
It is hoped that these conferences
will help to check the rush from the
country to the cities, and be the
means of sending our boys back to
the farm. The ground gives up her
treasures to the touch of the black
man's hand, and hence his salvation
lies largely in the farm.
Last year there were given away
about forty dollars worth of prizes
for the best specimens of farm and
garden products. It has been ar
ranged this year so that about the
same number of prizes will be award
ed. We are encouraged and helped
in a substantial way by the white
business men of Henderson. They
have furnished these prizes and a
large amount of the money necessary
to carry on these conferences.
Some special prizes of ten dollars
have been offered this year. Mr. W.
T. 15. Williams, of Hampton, Va.,
will deliver the annual address, and
other noted speakers are expected.
The conference will be held at the
Henderson Normal Institute, Sept.
1 2th, 1011. The farmers and public
are invited to attend.

A Picnic.
Correspondenee of the Gold Leaf.
On last Wednesday the little folks of
Fullers Sunday school enjoyed a very
pleasant afternoon with their teacher,
Miss Eunice Coghill, at her lovely coun
try home, known as Elm Grove. The
children, numbering fifty-four, assembled
in the grove about 1 :4o o'clock and com
menced playing games such as croquet,
baseball, etc. After having thoroughly
enjoyed the various games for an hour
' or two, they were invited on the east
' porch, where a great number of nice
i watermelons were served. Then they
j gathered around the lemonade buckets
( and drank as much as they wanted.
Afterwards they went into the sitting
room and enjoyed some music and sing
' iag among themselves. Then from the
I sitting room they were ushered into the
dining room where cream aud cake were
i served. The little folks left for their
i homes about 6 o'clock, all thanking
; Mise Coghill for the good time she had
given them.

This is the year for a new State
adoption of text books for use in all
the public schools of the State. The
books have been adopted and quite
a number of changes made. It has
been our policy to use the books on
the State list so far as possible and
we 6hall continue to do so, notwith
standing the fact that our schools
are exempt from the requirements of
the State adoption. Very liberal ex
change prices are provided so that
the change will not wrork hardship
upon our people.
A lot has been purchased upon
which to erect a high school building.
We hope to'see a handsome building
upon this lot in the near future. F or
the present it is necessary to continue
the high school department in the
central school building as heretofore.
We had earnestly hoped to move
into a new building: confident that a
separate building for the high school
would do a great deal toward creat
ing a Inch school spirit among the
j advanced pupils and in the towu
j which shall mean much for the fu
I ture of our young people,
i During the year our teachers will
; meet as heretofore each Wednesday
j at .'1 o'clock to confer on the work in
j hand, and to secure the best results
1 from consultation. At these meet
lings we shall also use as text books
j two or more of the best and most
approve. works ot teaching. It is
the purpose of the teachers to put
themselves and their best efforts in
to the work and it is hoped tha.t
parents ami the people will rally to
their support.

Opening of Tobacco Market.
(Couti United.)
The Henderson tobacco market had
its opening sale on Friday, September
1st. The offerings were very light, con
sisting of only about fifteen or twenty
loads of the first primings. The tobac
co sold very well indeed considering
quality. After the sales the Henderson
Tobacco Board of Trade held its annual
meeting in the office of the Harris Ware
house. Mr. Jas. I. Miller, secretary and
treasurer of the J. P. Taylor Company,
was re-elected president for a third term.
The other officers elected were Mr. L. R.
Gooch, vice president; Mr. 0. W. Knott,
secretary; Mr. Spottswood Bur well,
sales supervisor.
Sales will start promptly at 9:30
o'clock a. m. each sales day. The Hen
derson market has not only held its own
for the past three years, but has each
year gained a little in point of pounds
over the preceeding year, and the gain
in dollars paid the farmers has been
greater than the increase in pounds as
will le seen by the following:
HHlS crop 5,205,700 pounds at 11.-
jw, -'03.(;;i.
1S09 crop 5,305,310 pounds at 12.
82, $088,004.70.
1910 crop 5.432,505 pounds at 13.
11, $715,149.45.
These averages include about 250,000
pounds of scrap that is Rold here each
year, some of it being practically worth
less and of course brings a very low
price. If these scraD sales wore left out.
the average for tobneco would be con-
, siderably higher than is shown by the
above hgures. In addition to the three
strong warehouse firms on this market
and the regular buyers that have been
nere lor many years the market now has
three new buyers Mr. J. P. Meadows,
representing the British-American To
bacco Company; Mr. L. R. Gooch and
jr
Spottswood Burwell. The buviner
force is one of the strongest in the State
and the market could well take care of
twice the quantity of tobacco that is
sold here.

not take a Patient for Treatment unless

reasonable and moderate as to make it

At no time do the eLurges amount to

All Cases, even those who have been
