DR.. w. T. Cheatham.

A correspondent writing from Hen
derson to the Necs- Observer, suggests
the name of our townsman DIR. W. T.
Cheatham, as suitable person for the
position of Superintendent of the North
Carolina Insane Asylum. The GOLD
LEAF is frank to say better selection
could not be made. DR.. Cheatham is
a practitioner of medicine of long and
successful experience, is skilled sur
geon and as writer ON surgical mat
tiers has distinguished himself in this
State and outside of it. The CORE
spOndent says:
HENDERSON, n. c., Sept. 4, 80.
AS the Board of Directors of the Insane
Asylum will meet on the 18th instant to
elect a superintendent, suggest to the
board the name of DIR. W. T. Chatham,
of Henderson, n. C., as one OF the best
qualified physicians in the State for su-
perintendent. Dr. Chatham as is well
known, has been for many years regarded
as a shining light in his profession, and
since the formation of the Medical So
| ciety in North Carolina has been held in
the highest esteem by the society. His
| contributions to medical literature alone
| would have given him prominence. He
has had great experience in the practice
of medicine in all it's branches, and now
enjoys one of the best paying practices in
| this section.
I don't know that DIR: Cheatnam even
desires the position, but do know that
! the board could not do better than to
| elect him their superintendent. This is
| written without his knowledge or consent

Good Advice.

We commend the following whole
some advice, taken from an editorial
found in the Durham Sun:
Don't always be objecting to what is
proposed to be done, simply because you
did not propose it, when perchance you
never take leading part in planning
anything for the general good. Get to
the front-be a man, and bear a mans
manly part in the worlds great battle OF
life; at least, don't be a leech, profiting
by the enterprise of Others, while you are
a drone. Be something more than the
absorber of the peoples labor. Have a
hand in public improvements; plant some
of your own money, and if you have not
the money, do not make OF yourself az
iceberg, chilling all who come in contact
with YOU

Not Consistent.

1t is always the case that those who
say they do not believe in advertising by
the newspaper route, are the very first
ones to find out and find fault with any
thing in the papers that does not suit
their ideas. Especially do they become
rampant if they consider that it reflects
upon their business or advises the reader
where to go to get bargains. This very
thing shows them not to be truthful and
il a convincing argument that even a
three line item in an obscure place in q
paper is read, and it pays to ADVERTISE

A Good Appointment.

The GOLD LEAF is pleased to see
that Governor Fowle has appointed as
his private secretary and confidential
clerk a Vance county boy, Mr.. Poin-
dexter w. Capehart, son of Capt. B.
A. Capehart, Of Kittrell. The Gov
ernor has made good selection we are
quite sure. Mr.. G. w. Raney, of Kit
trell, writes to the News- Observer as
follows about the appointment:
The appointment by Gov. Fowle of our
yuong friend, P. W. Capehart, as his pri-
vate and confidential clerk, is very graft
flying to the people of this section.
"Blue" is splendid boy, dignifed, up
right and manly, and his amiable dispo-
sition has given him a popularity among
his neighbors seldom attained by one OF
his years. The Governor will find that
in a business point of view, he has made
a good selection, and the people of Raj
eigh have gained a valuable accession in
a social way. We bespeak for him much
merited success in his new sphere.
