THERE IS LIFE IN THE OLD NORTH
STATE.

Yes, there is life i'll the Old North
State. Never before perhaps was there
such development of resources and
growth Of industrial enterprises as at
present. This is observable on every
hand in every part of the State. The
people are alive and moving forward.
The newspapers are more wide-awake
and enterprising. They are filled
with greater State pride and higher
ambitions than ever before. They are
doing good and effective work in
making known the wealth of climate,
soil and natural resources Of their
respective localities, and the leaven is
working throughout the country. Yes,
indeed, the work of the local papers
in advertising North Carolina is at
tracing attention abroad, and their
efforts should be encouraged. Let the
good work continue; it is already bear
ing fruit and the future promises even
richer reward. Touching on this
subject the Atlanta Constitution says {:
A spirit of enterprise seems to be
abroad in North Carolina. We hear
more of the Old North State in the
newspapers now than formerly; some
of the smallest and most insignificant
towns are looming up and compelling
recognition by their push and pluck,
and an industrial boom is visible every
where. The resources OF the State are
vast-inexhaustible, and they are now
being utilized in the most practical
way to her advancement. The State
papers contain more industrial news
than any other, and seem to have
entered into compact to foster every
enterprise that is started-no matter
where, and to keep North Carolina
well before the world. This is right.
She is simply keeping in line with the
industrial procession, the march of the
South in this era of progress; the South
shares in her prosperity and congratu-
lates her people on the work they have
accomplished. They are busy peo-
pie and their future is bright one

A RAILROAD FROM HENDERSON TO
NASHVILLE.

A railroad running from Henderson
into Nash county, connecting with the
Wilmington & Weldon branch at some
eligible point, Nashville, for instance,
is consummation the GOLD LEAF has
long and devoutly wished for. We
believe such connection would be
worth more to our town and section
than any other road that could be
built That seems to be about the
only link wanting in the chain to
make this great and important rail
road centre and work a marvellous
change in the growth and prosperity
of the town. 1t is hardly necessary
to argue the many strong points in
favor of such 4 road. The richness of
the section that would be penetrated
and opened up by such line is well
known if not fully appreciated. With
reference to the tobacco interest
it is already recognized fact that
Nash county and the eastern portion
of the State is a valuable feeder to this
market, and we need to cultivate that
field more fully, or other markets will
spring up nearer the scene of produc-
ton and take from us much OF the
trade that we otherwise might have.
Commenting on recent allusion
in these columns to the subject of
railroad from Henderson to Nash
vile, DR.. Geo. E. Matthews, writing
from Ringwood to the A,gonaut, says
this:
was pleased recently to see short
paragraph in that excellent paper, the
GOLD LEAF, advocating railroad
from Henderson to Nashville. Know
ing the section through which such a
road would pass, it seems to me it
would be great benefit to all con-
cerned. 1t would pass through the
Aventville section, the tobacco belt of
Nash county, and open up one of the
most fertile sections of North Carolina
"a section noted for gold mines,
yellow tobacco and all kinds of timber
indigenous to the country and be
paying institution from the beginning
Let the question be further considered,
and if there is any reasonable hope of
succeeding, push forward at once.

MEN WHO BUILD UP TOWNS.

At this day and time, progress is
the watchword and those who fail to
catch the full import of this idea
should be left in the rear. 1t will not
do to take even an advanced position
and hold it by standing still. We
must move forward or backward. If
we continue to push ahead we have a
fighting chance to keep up with the
procession. But he who stops will get
left as the column moves onward.
This is true Of towns and cities as we'll
as individuals. No city Or town can
hope to keep its place in the forward
movement with anything short of the
most vigorous and determined action.
The live, progressive, business men of
every section recognize this fact, and
they are pressing forward in every pos
sible manner.
Surprise is often expressed why some
towns with little natural advantages
succeed SO we'll. 1t is because the
right kind of men are there. If a
town does not succeed, it is because it
has no live men with vim and energy
and money. 1t takes push and work
but it also takes money, and the men
who take hold to do the work must
have the men will! money alongside
of them.-Durham SIN.

THOSE same frauds Hewitt & Ho-
sier, who conduct humbug advertis-

cheeky propositions. This time they
want 50 inches of advertising space

for which they offer an International
Typewriter, priced at $500, payable
when the work is done. This is about
a liberal(?) proposition as we have
received from this company, but there
is not quite enough in it to tempt US
to bite at it. However, we suppose
there are some publishers in the State
that will. Any man who will accept
the New Jersey wine comany's adver-
tisement, worth about SIS 90, for IL
bottles of wine, and the Alabama
Nursery Company's proposition of
SI.oo for an inch and a quarter adver-
tiSement months, will take anything

WE are pleased to note the marked
improvement in the Raleigh News
and Observer. Its press work is better
and its print clearer and heater than
when it first put on its new dress OF
type few weeks ago. Nothing is
more essential than good press work
on a paper, and in no department is
the impress OF the skillful workman
more readily perceived. The Nezos
and Observer, while always good as
to subject matter,is big improvement
on what it used to be. We congratu-
late Capt. Ashe upon matter that
must be no less gratifying to himself
than it is pleasing to the many friends
and patrons of his paper.

THE CASE OF CROSS AND WHITE
BEFORE THE COURTS AGAIN.
MIR. w. r. Henry Discovers Another
Point Which Gives Hope TO Them.

Mr.. w. R. Henry, of counsel for
Cross and White, in whose behalf he
has worked SO indefatigably, has dis
covered another point which gives new
hope to his clients. It is this as we
gather the facts from the News and
Observer: In the United States Dis
trict Court at New Berne, week before
last, Mr.. Henry laid before his Honor
Judge Augustus S. Seymour, a petition
for writ of habeas corpus in the name
of Charles E. Cross. The point made
by Mr.. Henry is that the agreement
made with Cross and White by Mr..
Busbee while in Canada places Cross
| and White in the same position and Sc
cures. to them the same immunities as
if regularly extradited (Mr. Henry says
he at least desires to have this tested);
and that being in the same position as
if regularly extradited, they could not
be tried for any other otfense than that
iol w iiltli SAtI tiOltCu I'LL uilON Ct all Op~
portunity to return to Canada. Mr..
Henry argues that the treaty Of 1912
| contemplates only common law forgery
| and that Cross and White have been
tried for statutory forgery. If the writ
is granted it will be made returnable
at the June term of the United States
Court and IN the meantime imprison-
ment of the defendants will not DE sus-
pended. Judge Seymour heard Mr..
Henry's argument and will soon render
a decision on it. Mr.. Henry says there
are several cases on record where par
ties have been extradited and put on
trial for statutory forgery and released
on habeas corpus. 1t seems that the
question which will have to be deter
mined in the matter is whether the vol
untary returning here of Cross and
White under the agreement would have
the same effect in law as if they were
brought back under eXtradition.

THE GREAT BLOOD
= PURIFIER. =
IT CURES ECZEMA :!

WILMINGTON, n. c., January Il, 1885.
MRS. JOE PERSON.
Madam On the 29th last May our boy
was born, we'll developed in every respect,
but when two months old the King of
Terrors" began to chiSel about his little
heart. Notwithstanding its plump and
vigorous constitution, the poison iii the
blood soon began to manifest itself in what
the medical men termed eczema, pur-
pura," hereditary taint," while some
old mothers concluded the yellow thrash"
had gone through the child. Yet, what
ever the disease might have been, it was
certainly stubborn master for the doc
tors. The mother took the little sufferer
to the country, hoping that the pure fresh
air might be beneficial. Dr.. -, OF
LumbertOn, was called to treat the case !;
he pronounced it eczema, and did all he
could for it, but to no purpose any more
than to check the fever to which the disease
subjected him. At first frost the victim
was again removed to the city. DR.. --
was called; he pronounced the disease pur-
pura, and prescribed accordingly, feeding
up the disease on iron and other minerals
until the babys mouth became so sore he
could not nurse atall. A friend suggested
Remedy. All means to procure any more
help or medicine had failed, and in this
hour of darkest despair the poor mother
went and asked her druggist, DR.. Millar,
to let her have one bottle and package
Of the Wash but was refused ; yet, nothing
daunted, she paaoned her soeddsng ring for
the Remedy, and obtained $50 to pay for
it. When she gave the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the little fellow was
mass of scaly sores from the hips to the
knees, and at seven months old had never
borne his weight on his feet: To-day, by
the help of God and faithful admintstra-
ton Of the Remedy he IS aoeI and strong in
the legs, and last Sabbath, while the moth
er was weeping over the necessity of dry
ing up her breast, he commenced nursing
as strong and vigorously as ever. When
everything had been tried on our little
babe and failed, your Remedy was used
and has made perfect cure. The child
was two months old when he first broke
out, was seven months old when he began
the Remedy.

WHEN Joe Daniels commenced the
publication of daily edition of the
State Chronicle a few weeks ago, We
felt assured as to the character of the
paper he would send out. While the
Daily Chronicle was good at the start
it improves with age. This wss to
have been expected, for it takes time
to get everything to working smoothly
when a first-class morning paper is
launched. Joe Daniels did some good
work on the weekly Chronicle, and is
fully sustaining himself with the daily.
