Democratic ticket When asked how he
now stood and how he would vote here
after he went over bag and baggage and
set him ssuarely down in the Republican
camp How Mr. Harris can blame the
Democrats for the result of the local OPP
ton election in Henderson the GOLD LEAF
does not see. He must know that the ne
groes, whose party he has gone over to,
welded the balance of power In that cleo
ton, and that without their votes the white
people could never have voted the town
dry. The GOLD LEAF has always held Mr..
Harris in warm personal esteem and has
profound sympathy for him in the course
he has adopted politically. However. it
is his business and not ours, and we have
no harsh words of criticism or uukindneSs
for the man who sees nit to exercise his
opinion and authority contrary to our own.
The result of the bailoting was as fol-
lows: For Sheriff Smith received Is, and
Harris g. For Register of Deeds Tom
Eaton, cOlored. For the Legislature Jim
. Watson, colored. Jim had the good for
tune to draw his pay during the LegiSla-
can do about as little good and certainly as
little harm as any one who can be sent
there.
| THE NEWsPAPER.-An exchange knows
{ whereof it speaks when it says: Let it
not be forgotten that a newspaper does
more to develop the resources of a county
/ and town than anything else. And let it
! be remembered that a newspaper is the
, poorest patronZed industry in the land
1t is expected to do more gratui:ous work
! than any other institution or enterprise in
the community, and while it is regarded
as a public necessity, its efforts are rarely
/ appreciated at their true value Mer-
chants and business men owe their pros
! perity to great extent to the influence of
their town paper. 1t is read by hundreds
of people in different parts Of the country
who are induced to make yoar town their
trading point through the influence of the
paper"

SOMETHING WORTH SEEING.-A Huge
Joke, is Il splendid success, and John
Thompson, in all varied characterzatiOnS
which belong to the production, is inimita-
bic and without rival. TO see him is to
smile, ana to hear him and be with him
throughout all his matchlesS deIineation of
French, German, Irish, Chinese, Italian,
English and Dutch representation is to
laugh and grow fat forever more. Mr..
Thompson'S audience was composed of all
the theatre-goers of the city-the very best
people among us. and those who are more
calculated to enjoy and appreciate fine
acting and good play. Their verdict was
absolutely and entirely in favor of the
play and the actor. Thompson is a large
size brick, and his Huge Joke, is replete
with wit, humor, song, dancing and con-
tinuOus laughter. There is sunshine all
through, and fun to last until the next sea-
son rolls around.-Her0d. Tict&bVrg, Mss.
John Thompson will appear at Burwell
Hall Friday evening. 21st inst. and it will
be y Huge Joke on all who do not see him.
He is positively the funniest and most
lauGhable character on the stage that our
citizens will have an opportunity of seeing
this season. Price of admission -, 81 and
80 cents. No extra charge for reserved
seats.

Two VERY GOOD PERFOR&ANCEs.-Mis
Alberta Gallatin and her excellent COM
panv played Romeo and Juliet at Burwel
Hall Saturday night. Nothing Of course
need be said Of the play, and the players
perhaps constitute one OF the strongest COM
panies Henderson has ever been visited by.
Miss Gallatin is very pretty woman and
a remarkably clever actress In the role
of Juliet nothing appeared to be lacking.
In looks, manner and eXpreSsiveness she
was the ideal character.
MI William j. Humphreys impersona-
ton Of Romeo was we'll done. He is
strong actor and brought ont in bold relief
all the fine parts in the character eSSayed.
As the ardent and imprisoned lover he
put an amount of depth and feeling in the
play all through, but it was perhaps in the
closing scene at the tomb of his supposed
dead loved one when he drinks the fatal
potion that his acting was most touching
and tragic When Juliet regains conscious
= ness, awakeS and sees the dead body OF
Romeo lying before her, and slabs herself
TO the heart that she may be at rest with
him, Miss Galatians acting rose to height
that she had not seemed to attain before.
The support was very good and alto
! gethpr it was conceded to b. the finest per-
Torrance Henderson theatre goers have
vet seen here The costumes are new and
bright and the company is we'll equipped
in every particular.
They PLAYED in Oxford Monday and
! Tuesday nights, and last night came back
and by special request produced the pow
erful drama of IngOmar to good effect. A
fair sized audience greeted Miss Gallatln
and her rendition of Parthenia was most
charming and captivating. So beautiful
and talented a woman can fill 10 perfec
ton any role she may essay, and it were
useless to comment upon her acting las
evening. She delighted her audience and
was most generously appl2uded.
Mr.. Humphreys conception Of the char
acter of Ingomar was realistic and bis pOr
travail most powerful and admirably vel
done. The part calls for good work ant
he performed it. As Ingomar Mr.. Hum
phrey'S splendid abilities have wide scope
and he brought himself up to the full meas
ure of its requirement. He IS a powerful
actor and supports Miss Gallatin we'll
Their support last night was perhaps bet
ter than it was IN Romeo and Juliet. Ms
Ogden, Mrs. SaXton and Messrs. Ranods
Tills and Morrison are deserving of spe
ciaI mention.
We have never seen better pleased audi
) ences than those that attended the TIVE
splendid performances of Miss Gallatin'
company, and they may feel assured of :
cordial reception if at any time in the flu
ture they may honor Henderson wit
! another visit.

the citizens Of HendersonvilIe apprehend
no danger of the disease becoming cpl

the Durham & Henderson Railroad, died
out at the camp some miles from town
Sunday night. He had been sick but a
short time, and notwithstanding he was
too unWcll to be removed soon after he
was taken sick, his death was quite a sur
prise to his friends. Deceased was a son

Mrs. John e. Winder Of Raleigh, and had
been about three years in this country.
Last spring he came to Henderson to ac-
Gept position with his cousin Nh. John

generous and noble traits Of character
and his early death is a sad blow to his
family and friends. MI. Bryan would
have been 10 years old the day after he
died. The remains were taken to RAJ

GOrtOn's MinstrelS.

GOrtonS celebrated New Orleans Min
strelS, an old and famous organization
with an enviable reputation for refined
and artistic performances, will give one
entertainment at Burwell Hall on Satur-
day evening, September -. This company
was originally organized at New Orleans,
La, in 1867, and during the p years Of
their existence have gained reputation
second to none.
Gorton's Minstrels come highly endorsed
by the leading Journals of the country
The following is taken from the Staunton,
Va, Fuadicator of Sept. 10th, 1888:
1t was an exceptionally clean and good
entertainment of minstrelsy which GOrtOns
company of black cork performers gave in
the Opera House last evening There was
freshness and brightness about it and an
absence of "cheStnutS," which was par
ticularly pleasing. The performers pre-
scented a good appearance and evinced
thorough acquaintance with their parts
despite the fact that the season has just
begun. A good audience was present and
the constant. hearty laughter was proof
enough i'll itself that they were we'll
pleased.
The first part was capital. Hank Good
man is one of the best end men on the min
strel stage and when he was talking he
kept everybody in a roar. In the after
piece, too, in which he took the leading
part, he was extremely ludicrOus. II is
song in the first part, Wasn't it Tough?"
brought down the house, but it was even
eclipsed in popular favor by Walters 'ttop.
| icaP' song, not on the programme, which
| for time it seemed as though the audience
would encore all the rest of the evening
| Geo. LambsOn, with his rich bass voice
sang, 1.-The Song That Reached My Heart
| in splendid style. The finale TO this par
was Harry Bakers cornet solo. With his
handsome and valuable instrument Mr.
Baxter did some of the sweetest triple
| tOngueing we have ever heard.
| Among the specialtieS most notable were
the "Turkish Patrol" and Champion
| Clog" which were finely done, and the
| skilful work of SommerS and Walters The
latter played baniOs and danced simulta
neously; they juggled the banjOs and KEEP
up the tune they gave double bone solo
while tossing the bones in the air, ant
danced double jig, at tine same time spin

DEATH OF Mrs. f. j. JONES. Mol
lie Jones, wife of MI. r. }. Jones, died at
the residence Of Mr.. Arch Davis, in this
place, Sunday night last, after a brief i'll
ness. She had a drOpsical affection and
died of effu>on of the lungs. Deceased
was the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. L..
Meadows, Of Oxford. She was most eX-
cellent lady and her death has cast gloom
over the community. The funeral took
place from the Presbyterian church, of
which Mrs. Jones was a member, at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon, and the large
number of persons present to pay the last
sad tribute Of respect to the deceased
showed the high esteem in which she was
held by those among whom she had spent
the little day of life allotted to her. In
the absence Of the pastor the service was
conducted 10y Rev. W. 5. Pettigrew of the
Episcopal church, who came up from
Ridgeway for that purpose. The remains
were tenderly laid away to rest in Elm
wood cemetery.
