THE RIGHT COURSE TO
PURSUE.

Most of us have heard of Roanoke,
Va, as one Of the growing towns ofthe
South. From mere hamlet a few
years ago, it has sprung into flourish
ing city. with modern improvements
and is growing rapidly. In 1881 it
had population Of only 400; in 1888
its population is put down at IL, ooo
What has brought about this wonder
full change? The answer is a0Uertis-
ing! 1t had the elements of wealth
to start with and the outside world
was made to know it. A full page adj
vertisement setting forth Its attractions,
its industries and resources, is kept
standing in the Baltimore Manufae-
fu,ers' Reeer0-and it costs money to
do it. But this the live, enterprising
and public spirited citizens of the town
do not sand back on. They know it
pays them and pays them we'll in the
increase of population and the multi
plicity of manufacturing enterprises
and swelling volume of their trade.
This is the way they look at it, and
they do not stop at the population
above mentioned. The Reidsyille
VeekJ says:
Roanoke, Va, has half-column ad :
vertisment in the Richmond Dispatch
setting fourth its many advantages.
Roanoke wants to be city and is
pursuing the right plan to attain that
end-she is letting the world know
what she is. Reidsville business men
must let the outside world know some
thing about US if we would keep up
with other towns.
Now that is it we must let the out
side world know something about us
If we would keep up with other towns.
we can AFFORD to sit idly down and
wait for some one with brains and
muscle and energy and means to put a
handspike under us and lift US up. We
must be up and doing ourselves and
then others will come in and help US
if we show disposition to have them
come and hold out some inducement
for them to do SO. People do not 90
where they are not hidden (and appa-
rently not wanted) to make their homes
and invest their capital. If we want
such we must say SO, and that in no
uncertain language. Shall we do it
then?

MANUFACTURES.

The GOLD LEAF is thoroughly we'd
ded to Henderson and Henderson S
interest. We want to see the town
grow and prosper. This it cannot do
as rapidly and to such an extent as We
desire without a change of things. We
must have manufactures. A diversity
of industries is what we need, and this
is what the GOLD LEAF is persistently
laboring after and clamoring for even
at the risk of making the subject stale
and lhreadbare by continual argument.
Factories we must have. The Durham
Tobacco Plant says some good things
on this subject and wecopy the follow
ing:
Almost every State newspaper you
pick up these days contains an account
of some manufacturing enterprise start
ed in this town or that; many of them
on small scale, it is true, but that
does not prevent them from being ofad-
vantage to the towns in which they are
established. Some small manufacto-
res Of divers kinds in a town are of
great advantage to it, for the reason
that they diversity the manufacturing
interests and give employment to many
different classes of workman. x X
Charlotte has just established a shirt
factory, which will consume a great
deal of the cloth turned out by the
Charlotte mills. The stock is divided
up into small shares and is owned by
all classes other citizens, who pay for it
on the installment plan, and the factory
bids fair to be great success. Why
could not we have some such enterprise
here2 We have the mill to furnish all
the cloth needed. \ x X Bestir your
selves, men; do not say as one man
did the other day, when approached on
the subject of taking stock in a small
but surely profitable manufacturing en-
terprise; ooh, you can get up your
company without me-" Such talk as
that did not what make Durham what
she is to-day, and it will not add one
thing to her future, and men who talk
this way are going to get run over and
left clear behind. They had better
join the ranks and help push forward
instead of trying to pull all back.
