The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record says the South is the culture
centre of the worlds iron and steel
trade" The GOLD LEAF does not
believe this is a too sanguine assertion.
The mineral wealth of the South is
not yet fully known and understood.
The development of its great iron in
dustry is yet in its infancy.

THE Democratic. caucus Of both
brand hes of the North Carolina Legis
lature held Tuesday night, nominated
Hon. NJ. w. Ransom to succeed him
self as United States Senator. This is
equivalent to an election the formal
vote on which takes place next Tues
day. The following is the vote: Total
vote cast I2I; necessary to a choice,
81. The first ballot resulted, Ransom
60, Alexander IS, Waddell 81, Jarvis
I3, Clingman I, W. H. kitchin l..
Result of the second ballot, Ransom
60, Alexander 26, Waddell IS, Jarvis
s, Clingman I, Kitchin I. We will
accept Ransom's election as probably
for the best while the GOLD LEAF
neither regrets nor rejoices over his
success. This is bad time perhaps
to swap horses, and Senator Ransom
can be of as much service to his con
stituents under Republican admins
! traton as any Southern Democrat.
The Concord Times came out in
double size form week before last. 1t
contained a graphic and detailed write
up of the town and county, and was
| illustrated with cuts of some of the
prominent buildings and business men
of the place. Mr.. John B. Sheriff. the
talented and energetic young editor OF
the Times has displayed commendable
enterprise in getting up this edition,
and we are quite sure his labor is both
appreciated and rewarded by the pro-
gressive, public-spirited people among
whom his lines have fallen. The Times
is splendid paper and it is doing
splendid service for Concord and Ca
barrus county.
Special or industrial editions of this
kind are worth much to the communi-
ty whose industries, resources, advan-
+ tages and possibilities they represent
We rejoice to see our North Carolina
towns and newspapers displaying SC
much zeal and enterprise. 1t speaks
we'll for the publishers and their con
stituency.

PICKETT OR PETTIGREW ?

We have received with the compii-
ments of the publishers, Messrs. Hall &
Sledge, editors and proprietors of the
Roanoke Neus, Weldon, n c., a neat
little pamphlet of about 50 pages, bear
ing the above title, being can His
torical Essay, by Capt. VIM. r. Bond,
some time officer Brigade Staff Army
Northern Virginia - price IS cents.
We have read the work with much
pleasure and satisfaction. 1t is dedi-
Gated s'ro the memory of the brave
men of Hills Corps, who were killed
while fighting under the orders of Gen
eral Longstreet, on the afternoon Of
July sd, 1868; whose fame has been
Clouded by the persistent misrepresen-
tations of certain of their comrades,
this little book is affectionately ded :
icated." As its name implies this
"little BOOK is written with view OF
establishing the claims of North Car

The preside,.- o, uosSS' 'atal battle OF

,,ass egsubject, yet Capt. Bond finds
: new material and produces new facts
and the narrative is told in an easy
and entertaining style. That there
was need of such work cannot be de
MED, when we are constantly con
fronted with such outrageous and mis-
leading contributions to "history(?)'
as the following specimen which Capt
Bond quotes. He says:
As sample, but rather an extreme
one, OF the thousand and one foolisl
things, which have been written o
this affair, will state that a magazine
for children, St. Nicholas, 1 thinl
it was, some time ago contained de
scription of this assault, in which
comparison was drawn between tn,
troops engaged, and language some
thing like the following was used
"'rhose on the left faltered and fled

body acted according ." Its nature, 70

one of common earth, the other c
finest clay. Pettigrew's men wer
North Carolinians. Pckett's wcr
superb Virginians.' To those people
who do not know how the trash whic
passes for Southern history was manu-
featured, the motives which aCtuate,
the writers, and how greedily at frs
everything written by them about tn
war, was read, it is not SO ASTONISHING
that a libel containing SO much ig
norance, narrowness and prejudice a
the above should have been printed i
a respectable publication, as the facl
that even to this day, when officia
records and other data are SO access
bic, there are thousands of otherwiS
well-informed people all over the LAND
who believe the SANDER to be eithe
entirely or in part true.
Capt Bond has done his work well
and deserves the thanks Of North Car
olinians--old soldiers especially-fc
his able defense Of the valor and fort
tude OF our troops. The book ougl
to be extensively read, and the COL
LEAF is pleased to know it is meetin
with much favor throughout this an
