THE FIGHT WAS A DRAW
BECAUSE wAULIFFB DID NOT KNOCK

Daily was Banged all Over the Ring, and

No Little Surprise mt the Decision.
Boston, Dec. Slack McAuliffe banged
Mike Daily all over the ring tonight, but be-
cause he did not knock the Bangor lad out the
fight was declared draw. jack was robbed OF
a well-deserved victory by the decision but he
has the satisfaction OF knowing that he clearly
out-classed DAILY and disposed OF him as an
aspirant for the light weight championship.
1t was surprise to everybody that DAILY
stood up under McAulifres terrific rushes, but
he did so Ramely, and deserves credit for his
gameness. But he clearly was no match for
Brooklyn's dandy light weight. The fight took
place at the Crib Club. In the presence OF near
ly 500 sporting men from all over the country.

DIR. w. r, WOOD.

Almost every State paper has the
assertion that Dr. VIM. R. Wood, the
newly elected Superintendent of the
North Carolina Insane Asylum, was
Captain of Company G., 1st N. c.
Cavalry. We beg to differ with our
editorial friends and correct the error.
DIR. Wood did not come from Bun
combe county nor did he belong to
the "Buncombe Rangers. If we re-
member Alright, Col. w. H. Cheek sue
ceeded Capt. Wood as commander of
Company E., 1st N. C. Cavalry. As
a regiment, the 1st N. C. Cavalry are
proud of the distinction shown to a
comrade whose bravery and skill was
shown on every field until he was in
capacltated for duty by a wound. -
Concord Times.
Now we beg to set the Times right.
1t is correct when it says DR.. Wood
did not come from Buncombe county,
but he did belong to the Buncombe
Rangers, and was its commander if
we are rightly informed. He was
First Lieutenant of Company B., Capt.
John H. Whitaker, and upon the
resignation of Capt. John Wood6n, of
Company G., (Buncombe Rangers).
Lieut.. Wood was promoted to be Cap
tain and assigned to the command of
said company, and remained with it
until he was wounded.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE WINS.
Hurrah for the Farmers Alliance.
The Jute Bagging trust has cried
enough. This shows what organized,
determined effor! will do. The Will
mington Re0iev says:
Capt. S. B. Alexander, president of
the North Carolina Farmers Alliance,
announces that the Jute Trust has Of
fered the Alliance that if they will 60
back to the use of Jute Bagging it will
be sold at 81 cents on time, and that
the Jute Trust will pay the farmers 81
more per ton for all their cotton seed
than is offered at any of the cotton
seed oil mills. The Charlotte CHr0ni-
cle regards this as proof positive that
the jute gentlemen are in bad straits,
and thinks sit ought to be sufficient
to encourage the farmers IN their de-
cislon to stick to the cotton bagging."
The GOLD LEAF hopes the Farmers
Alliance will accept no such PROPOSE
ton. They have demonstrated that
they can do without jute bagging and
let them continue to do so-until they
find it will no longer be to their in
terest to do so. Stick to cotton bag
ging-an article manufactured here IN
the South out of a staple grown by the
farmers of the South. BY using cotton
put into the pockets of the farmers
and kept at home which otherwise
would not. Let the jute article go
and stick to cotton bagging, gentle
men. The GOLD LEAF is with you in
YOUR fight.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1889.
THE YOUNGEST CONFEDERATE
CAPTAIN.

An enquiry has been going the
round Of the newspapers-the New
York W0rlH and others,-a to who
was the youngest Confederate Captain.
We have seen no record to beat the
following: Col. VIM. H. S. Burgwyn,
of our town, after being Drill Master
attached in the summer of 1861 to
Pettigrew's Regiment (22nd N. c. IT,
and Adjutant of the Camp of Instruc-
ton at Mangum, near Raleigh, in the
fall of 1861, was on August a, 1862,
ten days after his 18th birthday, elect
ed Ist Lieutenant of Company H., 35th
N. c. T., Matt W. Ransom's Regi-
ment). This company was composed
of men from Mecklenburg county, and
from first to last had enrolled 1877 men
in its ranks. At the battle of Sharps-
burg, Sept. II, 1862, Lieutenant Bur
gwyn siezed his regimental flag at a
critical point in the charge and only
surrendered it up on the command of
his Colonel, Matt W. Ransom. After
the battle of Sharpsburg his Captain,
David G.. Maxwell, of Charlotte N. c.,
was sent to the hospital and subse-
quently furloughed on account of sick
ness, and Lieutenant Burgwyn COM
manded the company during the bal
ance of the campaign and at the
battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. Il, 49,
81. In June, 1868, Captain Maxwell
resigned on account of i'll health, and
Lieutenant Burgwyn became Captain
by promotion before he attained his
18th birthday. In the winter follow
ing he was transferred to Clingman' S
Brigade as assistant Adjutant General
was wounded at Cold Harbor, Tune
Ist, 1864 and again wounded and also
captured at Fort Harrison on Sept.
80, 1864 and taken to Fort Delaware
Prison and exchanged just at the close
of the war.

CHICAGO is THE PLACE.

Chicago is making a commendable
effort to secure the Worlds Fair in
1892. She has already subscribed
S5,ooo,ooo, and such liberality and
public spirit ought to be rewarded.
Representing as it does the wealth and
business of the great Northwest, being
its greatest metropolis, and situated as
it is nearer the centre of territory and
population of the country than either
New York or Washington, it occurs to
us that Chicago is the proper place
to hold the big exposition. At any
rate, until New York makes a better
record for herself in the way of raising
public subscriptions, her claims to the
Worlds Fair come with poor grace
Her experience in the matter of the
Grant Monument fund, the Bitholde
statue, the Washington arch, and half
dozen other similar undertakings,
to which outsiders were called upon
to contribute to avoid absolute failure,
will not help to create public sympathy
in New York's behalf when she asks
for the Worlds Fair in 1902, on the
promise of putting up the necessary
amount to secure it.

CANNING FACTORIES.

The GOLD LEAF has repeatedly
urged the establishment of fruit and
vegetable canning factory in Hender-
son. This is fine fruit country and
vegetables of all kinds flourish in our
soil and mature to perfection. Such
establishments are succeeding in other
parts of the State, and why not here
Two of the most successful canning
factories in the State are those of Capt
Haues at High Point and Mr.. ]. B.
Lanier at Salisbury. Of the latter the
Herald of that place says:
1t is no secret to thepeople of Sails
bury that Mr.. Lanier is one of the
busiest men in town. Ever since tine
season opened from thirty to seventy
FIVE hands have been Constantly en-
ployed at the canning factory putting
up the thousands of cans of fruits and
vegetables. The quantity of fruit and
vegetables purchased by Mr.. Lanier
has been immense, and besides what
has been purchased two wagons have
been constantly running from his farm
to the factory for two months past, in
order to keep up the supply of corn,
beans and tomatoes. Some idea of the
amount of work being done can be
gained from the fact that Mr.. Lanier
has fourteen acres planted in tomatoes
alone, and that this entire crop will
be canned.

contrary.

This State it seems is to have a sen.
satlon something like the MAVERICK
case in London. The particulars OF
the death Of D. f. Morris at his home
in Riedsville few weeks ago are ia
mlllar to many of our readers. The
coronor'S jury rendered verdict last
Saturday, after long and laborious
examination of the witnesses and the
attendant circumstances. A special
to the Durham Globe says:
The verdict rendered was that D.
f. Morris came to his death by the
use of chloroform administered by his
wife Cora Scales Morris. She has
been arrested and is in the hands of
the sheriff: Although the result of
the investigation was generally an.
tlclpated the final decision of the
jury has caused the most intense ex-
element.

WE commend the following to those
of our farmer friends who raise cotton.
At any rate, steer clear of jute bag
ging, and in this way down the robber
trust. The Elizabeth City Economist
says:
While cotton cloth to wrap bale OF
cotton in costs about 30 cents more
than the cloth to wrap same in jute at
Its present cut prices, it IS a good in
vestment, because since the tare ques-
ton is practically settled, wrapping
the crop in cotton will make each
bale bring about s1.25 per bale more
than in jute.

THE STATE GUARD.

There is no organization of greater
value and Importance than the State
Guard and it ought to be made as
thorough and efficient as possible. This
has been the opinion entertained by
GOLD LEAF all the time. While the
State is doing more for its soldiers
than formerly, and while improvement
IN its numbers and dicipline is shown,
the State Guard is not yet fully up to
that standard of perfection it ought to
attain, and that we believe it will at
tain. The Encampment last summer
was an improvement upon former ones,
and we look for still greater advance
ment in the line of efficiency hereafter.
Col. Richard l. Dodge, of the nth
Infantry, U. S. a. who was detailed
by the Adjutant General to attend and
inspect the encampment has just made
his report. While he speaks plain and
is not very complimentary in some
things, what he says will no doubt do
good. He gives the State scoring
for neglect of duty, saying that with
"magnihcent material and excellent
regulations, the State of North Caro-
lima owes her State Guard to the innate
pride and military spirit of the men
themselves. She is like a vain but
miserly man who sets up his carriage
without providing food for his horses.
The State Guard is either valuable or
not. If valuable,it should be properly
cared for at the expense of the State.
If not, it should be disbanded." The
report of Col. Dodge covers II pages
of printed matter. As we said before.
he speaks plainly and tells some hard
facts about the encampment, but it
will do good and the State Guard
should thank him for it.

WE didn't think that the most en-
thuslastic admirer of our most excel
lent Governor in his most lucid mo-
ment, would ever accuse that gentle
man of being 'sgreat statesman,
but it is even so. The editor of the
Beaufort atlantic Seaside says:
Hitherto if there has been any doubt
in the minds of our people as to the
consummate skill and marvellous abili-
ty of Governor Daniel c.. Fowle as a
great statesman and a fearless patriot,
that doubt has been amply dispelled
by his gracious action in the appoint
ment Of 4 Board of Directors that
would elect one of Carteret's noblest
sons president of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad. Our hearts
go out to him in gratitude and praise.
While the writer above quoted thinks
the Governor nas accomplished in this
matter work sufficient to entitle him
to be called "great statesman" there
are many other intelligent persons all
over North Carolina who think to the
contrary.
