The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1888-03-15

EVERY citizen OF Henderson should
take an active interest in everything
calculated to promote the growth and
prosperity OF the town. There is no
lack of individual enterprise on the
part of our business men, but IS there
that public spirit, that hearty cooper
alton, among them that there should
be? The GOLD LEAF thinks not. Let
there be united effort, concert of &C
ton, and what glorious results might
be attained. When any good work is
undertaken, how delightful it would
be TO see every man put his shoulder to
the wheel. In union is strength, and
united action On the part of our citl-
zens in every useful public enterprise,
even if some little sacrifice is requisite
for awhile, would in the end be lust
pride to the town, and to the individ-
ual citizen, and 4 positive benefit az
well. Push, pluck, good judgment,
and unity of effort are sure 10 bring in
handsome returns. With these princi-
pies acted ON, and there is no reason
why they should not be, advancement,
and prosperity will be obtained and a
spirit of pride engendered that no OBJ
stacle can defeat.

destinations Of the Presidential nomi-
nation. Senator Edmunds asks to be
considered out of the race. Next.

anything. from any party, from spoons

IT Is time that North Caroliaians
should turn their attention to building

other cities, now let Us go to work and
build up our own towns and cities

The GOLD LEAF has been preach
ing this kind Of gospel for the past SIX
years. Not that we do not wish to
see Norfolk, and Richmond, and Dan
Vile, and other towns outside of our
own State grow and prosper; not at
all but we desire to see Wilmington

eigh, and Charlotte, and Henderson,
and every other town in North Car
DINA, being built up by the fruits OF
our labor, at least in proportion to the
above mentioned places.

THE Norfolk, Va, Public Leagey,
speaking of the recent railroad sub
scription election held in Wilmington
says:
The people of Wilmington, n. c..
have decided to help themselves
in the matter of trade extension by
voting in faver of two railroad sub
scriptions-one to help construct =
road running northerly from that city
towards Newbern and the other to aid
the completion Of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad. The last
named -oad promises, when its West
ern extension is completed and its
Eastern terminus has reached deep
water at Wilmington, to be the most
important line of road in the State.
Its value to Wilmington will be very
great.

4 SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.
Something for the Tax Payers to
Consider.

The GOLD LEAF published the an
nual statement of accounts allowed by
the Board OF Commissioners for 1886,
and made out its bill Of charges for
$50. Tie County Commissioner OBJ
jected to the amount, because as he
said the Banner county of Forsythe
(where the printing was farmed out
one year and patent outside paper
published III did not pay but SIS.
The space occupied, (and the namder
Of 7oo,.Ls it made, as the law says it
must be reckoned and paid for), was
not taken into consideration, and in
the bigness of his heart The County
Commissioner allowed US the very mu-
nihcent sum of S21.e5. But this was
not the first gratuitous work the GOLD
LEAF had done for Vance county, and
we allowed for this time the gratifying
of prejudice, contemplate as it was,
to pass unno,iced. We saw in it but the
carrying out Of the threat made to get
even NTH certain individuals, Or make
them feel the power of The County
Commissioner, or words to that effect
"a threat that has been put into exc
Cution whenever opportunity has pre-
sented itself ever since.
Seeing through this, and understand
ing that feeling, and not justice, was
to characterize the official acts Of Tie
County Commissioner, the GOLD LEAF
refused to publish the annual exhibit
tor last year, if it had to subject itself
to such treatment as it had met with
in the past, preferrlng to donate its
full and free service to the good Of the
county IN some other way, and not
have the appearance OF getting pay
for what in reality it did not. The
result was what The County Commits
sioner doubtless hoped for and ex-
pected. 1t was published in a paper
t'Tnfra entirely tn Baltimore, and not
"a the COUNTY, as the Ls1o says. For
this bill of charges was made out Tor
$500. For some cause only 5000
of the amount was allowed at the last
meeting of the Board, the remaining
portion, S25 90, being retained until
some other items not made out in the
original exhibit are printed. This was
done for purpose SO great was the
difference between $500 and Se1.2s,
the last account allowed for doing the
same work, it was better to give it in
broken doses The GOLD LEAF does
not say it was not worth every cent OF
the $500 charged to do this work,
but IL does say IL ras net zc0yth more
than three H1ses zs H1"cA (and BY the
fime the returns are all in, it may run
up to fpe times as much, as this paper
was allowed for advertising the same
thing just twelve months before

days. an additional pension of one cent per
day, per month, for service in excess of that
period. The committee also earnestly rec
onimend the preparation of bill placing the
widows of Union soldiers, sailors and marin
ers on the pension list without regard to the
time of service or the cause of the soldiers
death. The committee further support the
bill now efore Congress, known as the dis
