The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-02-21

The GOLD LEAF delights to learn of
new factories springing up in North
Carolina. Every one helps by adding
to the material wealth and prosperity
of the community. A diversified in
dustry is what we want. Heretofore
we have been too largely an agricultu-
raj people. Down in Sampson county
an enterprise has been started, some
what out of the usual line for that sec
ton. 1t is a butter dish and berry
basket factory. The Caucasian says
of it:
Johnson's factory is now a scene of
busy industry. About twenty boys
and women are making the dishes and
crates, end when all the machinery is
put in place and work commences on
berry baskets, the factories will employ
about seventy-lve hands, Sampson Ia
Dor.

We BELIEVE that one of the creates

We BELIEVE that one of the greatest
drawbacks to prosperity in this country
is bad roads. If the farmers were to
sit down and calculate the loss result
ing to them from bad roads over which
they have to carry their produce to
market, or their purchases from the
nearest railroad town, they would find
that they above all men should be the
first to bestir themselves to secure good
roads. Bad roads mean to our agri-
cultural population loss of time, de-
crease in the value of their marketable
products and no uncomfortable loss in
wear and tear Of vehicles and horses.
A complete and good system of roads
would be Of inestimable value to our
farming community and increase the
value of their land and its products.

The Inortuary statistics as CIV
EN- in the North Carolina Health
Bulletin far May shows the fol
lowing, which seems q little re-
marIable: That there have been
81 deaths among the cololed
race 20 81 OF the whites III the
State during the month of May,
and IA deaths among the negroes
are caused by consumption to q
by the same cause among The
white. A few years ago con
sumption was rare among the
negroes, but from this statement
it is seen that the disease is be-
coming more common with
them. Fever has always been
more fatal among them, and in
fact nearly all diseases, but this
can probably be accounted fof IN
that, when sick, they DO not
generally receive sufficient NUS
ing and careful mefical atten-
tion.

ITIsESTS WITH THE pEOPL;
They Alone Can Solve the }'ro
bicm Of This Country.

BLESSED is the Nation whose
God is the Lord" was the text
from which Rev. S NJ. Newman
preached at the Congregational
Church Il few Sabbaths since OH
"The Problem of the Country"
An examination of the chapter
he said. would show that the
writer had arrived at this con-
cldsion, first, because everything
was made by the Lord; second,
because His arrangement and
providence extern led over all;
and third, because He held the
hearts Of men in His cOntIol.
Every Christian ought to consid-
err the problem of this country
in the light that God tounde /
our nation and marked out for
it a great future.
A simple answer to the prob
lem is the statement that a
perfected nation is the desired
end. Such Il nation can only be
realized by each indivi iuA! and
community reachin- that con
dition in which all the elation-
ships due from one 20 another
are discovered, accepted and rea-
lized to their fullest completion
1t must be confessed that we
have not reached that po mt yet;
in fact that we are still far from
it. The solution tests not with
the solitary statesman o. think
er, but with the People and
their integ ity aAd purity.
