THE PUBLISHERS PROTEST.

Yesterday the Senate committee on post-ofiices
and post roads heard arguments against the bill
recently passed by the House debarr1ng books
serials and all other publications which are not
strictly magazines from Transmission through the
mails as second-class matter. Under the present
law publishers permitted to send such reprints
OF books are contained In the Seaside, Franklin
Square and other libraries through the mail at o
penny pound. The POSt-On1ce complained that
these were not such periodicals as were entitled TO
pass through the malls at second-claSs rates, and
resulted In an annual loss TO the Department Of
nearly &, 100000 The bill passed by the House
shuts out all publications which are merely books
or reprints whether they are issued seraly or not
bound or unbound. The publisherA were repre-.
sented at yesterdays hearing before the committee
by ID. B. EricOtt and p. Farrelly, OF New YORK;
Judge Evans and Col. Walter, OF Philadelphia;
Dom Piatt, of Cincinnati, and Jos. Shillngt0n OF

To the Voters of Vance County.

this county, duly nominated by the Demo
cratic Convention that assembled in Hen
dersOn on Sept. goth, | respectfully solicit
the votes of nay fellow citizens.
Not since our county was formed has it
elected by the qualified voters of Vance

our representative. We think i'm this re-
spect we have been deprived of our cOnsti-
tutiOnal right to have at least one member
in the House of Representatives elected by
the people of our county.
You have selected me to make this cam
vass in your behalf, and confidently rely
upon your active support and on your un-
failing attendance at the polls on Tuesday,
November 9th.
If elected, shall advocate in the Legis-
lature, every measure that Will cOnduce to

ABOUT ADvER1TsING.-SOme people do
not seem to appreciate the value and ihl-
portance of newspaper advertising, but as
all exchange aptly remarks, if the mer-
chants and other business men Of a CON-
munity could only know, as do the pub
fishers, how constantly the columns OF
their local papers were advertising their
town abroad-and advertising it to great
advantage-so far from taking credit to
themselves in the patronage which they
extend as if they were making donation,
they would gladly double and triple
their support, assured that in all cases they
were getting a handsome equivalent for
the money expended. Enough said. If
your advertisement does not already ap-
dear in these columns do not further delay
the matter of giving your business con-
spicuous prominence before the public in
this manner. The circulation of the GOLD
LEAF Is such that it knows it can be bene-
fetal to those who avail themselves of its
services. 1t is laboring for the best inter
est of the town In a general way, and
wants to represent all its business men d.

/ ABOUT COTTON BA6GING.-Since the Tor
| nation of the Jute Bagging Trust, Just as
the vast cotton crop of the South was about
to be moved, and by which it was designed
. to rob the planters of millions OF dollars
j by forcing them to pay exor5itant prices
+ for bagging, no question has so agitated
this part of the country. With pluck
and determination born of spirit OF right
eous indignation the farmers met the Is
sues squarely and refused to be imposed
upon and robbed in any such manner. The
Farmers Alliances throughout North Caro-
lima were quick to act and all over the
South their course has been approved and
. adopted. They determind not TO use jute
bagging to cover their cotton with and be-
gan to cast about for a suitable substitute.
Various articles were suggested. A very
good bagging has been made of pine straw
and this is thought by many to be the de-
sired thing. A coarse cotton cloth has
been made for the, purpose and to this the
GOLD LEAF is very much inclined as sub
stitute for jute bagging Ithas many things
in its favor to recommend it. In converse
ton few days ago with Mr.. James Amos,
one of our most intelligent and practical
farmers, lie argued in favor of the cotton
bagging, and gave good reasons therefor
The average cotton crop of the South is
about 5000, 600 ba les. TO cover this it is
estimated that it would take from one to
one and One-half million bales of cotton,
the commoner grades being employed in
the manufacture of bagging of course.
This would create greater demand for
our poor goods which bring from ~ to
cents less than middling, while it would
also raise the price of the better grades at
least cents pound. This it can readily
be seen would be vastly to the benefit of
the cotton planters.
That a good and suitable covering for
cotton can be made Of cotton admits OF no
doubt. This has been thoroughly demon
strated and its fitness in every respect is
conceded. 1t withStands usage, handling,
COMPRISING and fire equally as we'll as
jute and tests made show that it will not
burn as readily as either jute or pine fibre
bagging. When the matter is looked more
carefully into the GOLD LEAF has no doubt
but that the popular demand of the cotton
planters of the South will be for a wrap
per made from their own product.

No TRUST BAGGING IN THEIR's.-The
GOLD LEAF rejOices in the determined
stand the farmers are taking against the
imposition of the 1ute bagging trust. They
positively refuse to use it, and what is
more gratifying still, they are doing very
we'll without it, thank you. Hurrah for
the farmers and Southern pluck and enter
prize that finds itself equal to the emer-
gency in supplying suitable substitutes for
jute bagging. The GOLD LEAF published
last.'week that the Farmers Alliance Of
Halifax county had petitioned to the mer-
chants not to handle trust bagging." The
Weldon Necs says on the subject:
The merchants of this place have only
sold two and a half yards of jute bagging
this season and that was for a purpose
| other than wrapping up cotton. One man
who ordered bagging was sent roll OF
| jute bagging by his commission merchant
and had it in his cart, but when told about
the action of the Farmers Alliance took 1t
OH his shoulder; carried it back to the ware
house and ordered it re-shipped. The
| farmers say they will not use it under any
cOnditiOns-not even if it were given them.
| That's the way to stop trusts and il they
listen they will probably hear something
| break somewhere near the jute bagging
| trust. So mote it be.

OBITUARY..

Little Emma Powell. only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Powell, aged eleven
months and eleven days, died Friday even-
ing, Oct 18th, 1888, at 10 O'Clock. The little
dark-eyed treasure OF Whom | write was a
most lovely and amiable child, just such a
one to gladden. home, and Irvine her little
self around all who knew her to fill the
fond hearts of her loving parents with
bright anticipatiOnS of loving and useful
future. But God knows best! No more in
this world will her fragrant breath fail on
her mothers cheek. No more will she
hold out the velvet hand and tiny arm to
the heart-broken father, in trembling, glad
expectancy. No more lisping accents to
greet the all attentive ear. The little gem
has gone. And oh !! it rs so hard to give
her up. The great philosopher upper
says: "a we'll spring Of blessing to a house
is a baby" and the sentiment is responded
to by every heart that has ever been
touched and rendered by such sweet inf1u-
ence. The parents disturbed nights, and
anxious and laDOriOuS days, are SO cheer
fully endured for baby. One of the finest
pictures of the great artist DeFeauX, is
that of the Bandits baby wooing him back
to virtue. How the stern nature gave way
demon spirit is being exercised by the pure
light of those dOVe-like eyes. Yes, man,
proud, lofty, arrogant, ''Of such is the
kingdom of heaven, and except you re-
ceive the kingdom of heaven as little
child, you shall in no case enter therein.
How beautiful this baby was. The clear
depth of those bright dark eyes; the rich
coral of her lips, her Parian marble brow
the graceful movements of her dimpled
arms, and then her animation, her fresh
ness, her sweetness. This she was in life
surely death is far lovelier, for nothing can
exceed the sculptured wax-Work beauty of
an infants corpse. No semblance of Death
in his terrier was there. Serene in beauty.
as in the gentlest slumber; but she was
with God. Surely the mother should feel
proud and honored to give an angel to the
sky-that she has kindred i'm Heaven,
and should she remain faithful, perhaps
when she is loosed from this earthly home,
little Emma, hand in hand with her little
brother Hugh who is there, will be the
first to welcome her IN her home i'll Heaven.
