PERsONAL.-We had the pleasure Of
call from President j. F. Crowell, Of
Trinity College. Monday. We found him
to be much younger man than we had
supposed him to be. A man With such dis
tinguished reputation as scholar and ed
ucatOr we had credited with being more
than 50 or SO years of age. Mr.. Crowell is
thoroughly in love with his work, is ener-
getic and enthusiastic, and we predict that
the institution of which he is now at the
head is destined to enjoy unparalleled
success and prosperity, and more useful
if not more honorable career mark its
future course.
President Crowell tells US Of plan
which the Me.hodists have in view of es-
tablishing preparatory schools for boys
and young men at different points in the
State, and he thinks Henderson a good
place for one Of them. The idea is to
have say three or four good schools located
at suitable points, far enough from each
other not to interfere with the territory
from which they might reasonably expect
to draw support, these schools being
ject being to fit the student for entering
college. The plan of operation as ex-
planned to US by President Crowell and
Rev. J. ID. Arnold is a feasible one, and
the GOLD LEAF would like to see active
steps taken to secure such school for our
town.
President Crowell had short conference
Monday morning with number of repre-
sentative gentlemen and business men of
the town, and his proposition seemed to
meet with much favor. A committee was
appointed for the purpose of looking fur
Their into the matter, ascertaining such in
formation as would enable them to inteli
gently act in the matter if it should be de-
cided to establish such a school in Hen
dersOn.

LET US HAVE A COTTON FACTORY.-
The GOLD LEAF wants to see cotton fac,
tory established in Henderson, and it be-
lieves if the thing is properly worked a
stock company can be organized without
difficulty. We know two gentleman who
express a.willingness to subscribe $4,000
each for such an enterprise. We are salts
fed there are many others who would sub
scribe literally toward such an enterprise.
$50, 900 can be raised for a 10000 spindle
cotton factory in Henderson inside of "a
hours. Now who wants to engage in this
business? Let him speak and speak quick
the factory and then we will go in for a
knitting factory and other smaller indus
tries. $50, 900 will d o the business.

fairness and friendliness will not be lost
sight of by our people. The Ne,os Of o.

Brother Manning, of the GOLD LEAF, the
very able journal of our sister town, is pre-
pairing for the issuing of a special Indus
trial Edition with the prime object of ad-
vertisiug Henderson and Vance county to
the outside world.
It is a grand undertaking, but if his hands
are upheld by the business men and prop

do an incalculable amount of good to the
town and county. We are glad he has un-
>dertaken the task and trust that his efforts
will be appreciated and that he will re-
ceiye substantial reward for his work. In
speaking of the Importance of such adver
tisement, and it applies equally as we'll to
Oxford and Granville county, he says:
There is no denying the fact that Nature
has done much for oursectiOn to no por-
grateful. We are situated in the very
midst of the finest TOBACCO growing coun-
try in the world; in rich and fertile agri-
cultural community. where almost every
known crop grows and natures to perfec-
ton. No where is there more genial and
healthy climate. Our soil is finely adapted
to fruits and vegetables as we'll as the &C.
reals and staple products of tobacco and
cotton When our lands are properly cul-
tivated they yield as .bOuntifully and al
most as early as anywhere in the State
Our farmers are well-to- do and prosperous,
as those of any community, aud We doubt
not are more so. Our advantages as great,
our resources as varied, and our possibili-
ties as glorious as those of any section. We
have as good health, as good water, as
good climate, and as good society as any
where. We have no billiards., no great
labor strikes and nothing to mar the pleas
ure or comfort or safety of any good citizen
no matter from what part Of the compass
he may hail.

A Tramp's Fall Under a Train While
Stealing a Ride.
One of the worst battered up tramps that
has ever applied at the city hospital was re-
ceived there yesterday. When the janitor
opened the door for the man he noticed that
his left arm hung limp at his side. Upon
examination it was found to be broken and
the flesh was hanging by slender tendon.
DR.. Colding ordered the man taken into the
dissecting room and the bandage was re-
moved from his arm. The ligament that
held it together was cut and the arm
dropped to the floor. The man exhibited
signs Of fainting and opiates were admin
istered, and the remaining part of the arm
was cut off. The wound is dangerous one,
and it is doubtful if the man RECEIVERS.
After the arm had been dressed and the
patient had recovered from the influence of
the opiates, he said that lis name was John
II. Pattey. He came from Auburn, N. Y,
and has been in the south since January
He attempted to get on Central railroad
freight train at Egypt early yesterday
morning, and, falling between the cars, his
arm was caught on the track and was
mashed off. a physician who was near by
dressed the wound temporarily. Later on
the down fast mail train brought the
wounded man into the city. He walked
about hunting physician until he got to
the hospital He said that he is 40 years
old and is a farmer. He has no relatives
living.
Conductor Storey who brought the fast
mail train into Savannah, said that when
he arrived at Egypt early yesterday morn
ing he saw the wounded man there. 81 was
trying to beat the road, he said. Conductor
Storey took him aboard and brought him To
the city. Upon reaching here Mr.. Storey
directed him to the office of DR.. Sheftall,
but Pattey did not find the place
While on the train Pattey told the con-
ductor that he went out from the city on a
train Sunday night and got off at Egypt.
Some time later a freight came along and
he got on. He was between two cars, one
OF which had an end door. He said that he
opened the door to get inside, but the car
was loaded with phosphate, and the smell
was too much for him, and when he at
tempted TO close the or his foot slipped
and he fell to the track between the cars.
He knew nothing more for three or four
hours. When he recovered consciousness
he got up and had his arm dressed
