outside of the camp, one of the con-
victs, Oscar Carmichael, picked up
a stone, and throwing it with uner-
ring aim, sent it into the guards tenn
pie, killing him almost instantly
The four prisoners then escaped, and
it was an hour or two before the body
of the guard was found. 4 sheriff,
with posse and two blood hounds, took
the trail which the yfolIowed through :
ont the swamps into Henry Co., there
the pursuers secured information of
the fugitive murderer, who had
sought the house where his wife
lived. Friday night a posse sur
rounded the house, when fire was
opened. After several volleys be-
tween the posse and murderer, the
latter opened the door and rushed
out, brandishing his revolver over his
head. He was riddled with shot
from the sheritf7s officers, his face
was unrecognizable, so mutilated

ed, lying in a pool of blood on the

He was dashing young fellow, and
it was a case of mutual admiration.
Soon after, the girl went with him to

King. Her letters were frequent,
and always spoke of King in loving
terms. About two years ago, she
paid a visit to her family in Cleve-

returned with him to Chicago, taking
with her her two-year-old brother,

WHY CHANGE 1?

Some mention is made Of Congress
man Simmons as the President of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-

the Governor. Washington Bryan,
now in that position, has shown re-
markable ability and energy, and will
probably be retained by the new ad-
ministration. The road is now in a
better condition than ever before
Ao,10Lk Pn6Hc Lcdgcr.
This fsome mention is only made
by certain individuals, who wish "to
down" Mr.. Washington Bryan, and
think they see IN Mr.. Simmons pop
ularity and ability an opportunity OF
doing so. But the GOLD LEAF does
not believe the scheme will work
and it for one hopes 1t will not. Not
that we are unfriendly to Mr.. Sim
mons, but that we see no reason why
Mr.. Bryan should be displaced. He
makes capable and efficient officer
and the States interests are safe in
his hands as President of the Atlantic
& North Carolina Railroad. Then
why not let him remain where he is

OUR OPPORTUNITY

Sanford is preparing twenty-page
pamphlet setting forth the advantages
of that town, for distribution by mail
through the North. Thus another
town shows its progressive spirit, and
in a way that will pay for the invest
ment.-/oncsd0rO LeadtY.
This is what the GOLD LEAF has
been insisting that Henderson shall
do. Surely we have as many advan-
tages and attractions as Sanford, as
Henderson is three or four times as
large as that place. But everybody
does not know as much about the town
as we do, and it will not become fully
known unless we set ourselves to that
task. Outsiders will not do it for US.
A well written pamphlet, or what is
better still, full and complete write
up in the columns Of the home press,
is the only effective way in which we
can properly set forth our attractions
as 4 winter and summer resort, to-
gether with Our advantages as a place
of business and residence. The GOLD
LEAF stands ready 10 undertake a
work of this kind if the proper induce
ments shall be held out to it. But
such a thing cannot be successfully
done without money, and the more
liberal the expenditure the more per
feet the work eau be made of course.
What say our citizens on the subject
An industrial edition of say ten OF
twenty thousand copies of this paper,
to consist of eight. ten or twelve pages,
would be a stroke of enterprise that
would BE- worth many times its cost tc
the town.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's last mes
sage to Congress was the strongest of
fetal paper that has yet been given
out by him. 1t is a sound document
in the broadcast sense Of the word, and
NO higher encomium need be passed
upon it. He stands squarely by the
position heretofore taken with regard
to the question of revenue reform and
the reduction of the surplus, and
wisely points out the existing evils
that he would judiciously correct. AS
the Germantown HMtbenatnt remarks,
"those who thought for a moment
that the President would recede from
the stand taken in behalf OF the peo-
pie on the matter of the necessity of a
reduction of the surplus, were evidently
unacquainted with the man. In the
face of a defeat by a combination of
specially coddled interests, he reiter-
ates what he had to say a year ago with
renewed vigor. seeing, as all the
friends of proper reduction of the
revenue do, that the battle Of the
masses against the classes must be
fought to 4 finish If some measure OF
speedy relief is not adopted"
