WHY We ReDuDliSl. Them.

As will be seen by reference to the
outside pages of the GOLD LEAF. We
reprint both the articles about Evan-
gelist Pearson and his work III Uender-
son. This is done by request Of Il
number Of persons who wish copies Of
the paper to send to friends and re'a-
tives at distance. While we printed
a good many extra copies last week the
demand was greater than the supply.
and as the forms had been taken from
the press and partially taken down be-
fore we knew that there would be so
many calls for the paper we could not
print half sheets which would have
served the purpose. To accommodate
those who were not supplied beyond
their regular copy the articles have
been transferred to the outside on the
first and fourth pages of the GOLD
LEAF and are printed again this week.
This is our apology-if apology is nee
essary-for publishing the same matter
twice.

An Insulting Business(?) Offer.

We received proposition recently
to do some advertising for the Swift
Specific Co., of Atlanta, Ga. They
wanted 200 inches ofsolid reading mat

munifcent sum of fcents an inch, or
$1,000 for the whole, payable quarterly
and copy of paper to be sent regularly
to their address. Such gall !-sl.o2 a
colum for solid reading matter, to be
set up new every week. Such an in
suit to decent journal! We do not
need something to fill up with that
bad, and so wrote the house. We
would not advertise for our home pat
rons at such rates,-for the simple rea-
son that we could not afford to do sc
and live at the business-nOr will we
do so for others. Since declining the
offer they have amended it and now
offer us 10 cents All inch, OF $4,000 fo'
the whole. Think of it $500 col

vertisements of this very concern IL

there is newspaper in North Carolln;
that took this business at the figure
offered us? We hope not.

The Farmers Friend.

While he has sold his share of tobacco
all along, since taking charge OF his own
house (recently bought) that energetic ana
hard working young warehouseman Owen
Davis, has been putting in some extra
ticks. In the great battle for the farmers
rights (getting the highest prices for their
tobacco for them) the white plume OF
owen Davis can always be seen in the
thickest of the fight. The farmers know
him. This accounts for the cracking sales
which have recently been made at Davis
warehouse. He is true to his friends
hence his friends are true to him. Load uT
and drive for Davis warehouse. Take nc
risks. Times are hard and you can't al
ford to experiment. Owen DAVIS Is
royal certainty always and can be counted
on to do his best for the interest OF those
who sell their tobacco with him.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Having enjoyed
the hospitality of your parents and OF
your grandmother, | naturally feel an in
terest in any legitimate undertaking you
may enter into. Destiny has pointed
you to the publication of the GOLD LEAF.
This is a lawful, and, well conducted, Sc
we're enterprise-a hard tax upon the
mental forces. Courage is also necessary
to stand for the right on all great moral
questions But l forbear pursuing this
line of thought.
[ heard the editor of the Germanton
Times say that you were wlde-awake to
what you conceived to be the best inter
ests of Henderson. The writer was bred
and born very near the spot where Hen
derson now stands. He hunted squirrels
and other game on both sides of Main
street (then public road) of your thriv-
! ing town. 1t was truly remarkable to
see how your town had spread, East,
West. North and South. Men of push
and pluck have gathered in there. Should
such occasions continue awhile longer,
and should YOU make that a railroad
centre as you are fast doing, what will
your industries and population be! But
here pause again.
The solemn occasion that called me
there, the funeral services over the re-
mains of the late DR.. A. c. Harris, depos
tied in the ground close to the remains o
attorney George Badger Harris, are vivio
to my mind, both of whom passed away
liz hope OF immortality and future life.
Your last paper tells how the initia
services conducted by Evangelist Pear
son had impressed the public mind ant
heart of your people. So let it be. VIII.
should there not be five hundred CONVEX
sions ere those meetings close? Let NJ
man vainIy suppose that religion will re
tard the business and prosperity of an,
people. More anon. Z. +. I'll.

A Successful Young Manufacturers.

n SuCCcSSlul u
Mr.. J. NJ. Norwood, the successful
young cigar manufacturer of Oxford,
was here interviewing our dealers and
taking orders for his splendid goods
last week. We are pleased to know
that he has a good trade in Henderson
and that his cigars are popular and in
demand. This is gratifying. We like
to see home enterprises encouraged.
If good article, no matter of what
nature, can be produced at home why
not give it at least an equal show, II
not the preference, over that which is
foreign made? Mr.. Norwood puts up
good goods, sells as reasonable as other
makers, and freight charges from Ok
ford are low.
Mr.. Norwood by the way came near
| locating in Henderson before going to
Oxford. He did not meet with the en-
couragement here that he did in om
enterprising sister town, and SO we
failed to get what might have been
valuable and important industry to the
town. It is not pleasant to write this
way but we do it to show that as
community we cannot be slow to seize
and improve every opportunity tina
presents itself to add to our manutac
turing enterprises and to promote ou
growth and prosperity.
