VOTE FOR THE GOLDEN BELT
RAILROAD.

The Nashville ArgOaam notes the
fact that the election has been ordered
in Henderson to vote on the question
of issuing bonds for the Nash county
railroad, and says:
The city council of Henderson has
ordered an election to be held July
2Ist to determine whether the city
shall subscribe $4,000 to the capital
stock OF the proposed railroad from
Henderson to Nashville. We have no
doubt that the citizens of Henderson
will vote for the subscription, as it
seems incredible that any considerable
number of them should be SO blind as
to vote against a measure which is
bound to be of such incalculable bene
fit to their community.
We have talked to men in Nashville
and along the proposed line, and they
are unanimous in favor of the road
and we can state confidently, that the
people of Nashville and Nash comfy
will be liberal subscribers to the stock
of the road. In fact, as good business
men, they could not do otherwise, for
besides being boon to, both Nashville
and Henderson and doubling the value
of lands contiguous to the line, stock
in the Golden Belt railroad will be a
paying investment and gilt edge in
every particular.
We therefore trust that the citizens
of Henderson will cast but few votes
against subscribing to this grand enter
prise, and that ere many months, Hen
derson and Nashville will be connec.
ed with bands of iron.

LOOK and think upon this, We tax
burdened sons Of men, and contem-
plate the iniquities heaped upon you
by the Federal pension bill. 1t is said
tina. sixty million dollars is the most
conservative accurate estimate of the
amount which will have to be appro-
priated for the first year under the re-
quirements of the disability pension
bill which has finally been agreed upon
by the two Houses of Congress and
will be signed by the President. One
hundred millions is the lowest estimate
for the second year. After that no one
can guess how much will be required.
The hole in the bill through which the
taxes will pour is the definition of dis
ability which admits all veterans suf-
fering from disabilities acquired since
as we'll as during the war. 1t directly
encourages accidents and diseases.

THOSE who consider the matter can
not fail to see the importance OF Nash
county as a tobacco producer and the
value of its trade to the Henderson
market. This interest is already large
and is rapidly growing. We cannot
afford to lose this trade, and we can
not hope to retain it unless the railroad
is built. That is apparent to all. Why,
then, should there be any opposition
to the building of it? Certainly the
matter of taxation will be a mere baga-
telle in comparison to the benefits to
be derived from it. To give some
idea of the rapid development of that
section as a producer of bright tobacco
| we call attention to the following item
takenIfrom the Nashville Argon0ut II
is brief but much is expressed in fe"
words:
There was only one tobacco barn
in Nash county in 1884. A thousand
new ones are going up now and have
been built this spring, while great many
more will be erected before the croI
natures. 1t looks as if our tobacco
crop will bring over million Of dol
lars. The farmers say that never il
their experience was there the promise
of a more abundant harvest.

In St. Louis, day or two ago, Gen
eral Longstreet told how he came to
join the Republican party. The i'm
mediate reason why he made a state
ment about the matter was the publ
cation of a story by Murat Halstead to
the effect that Generals Beauregard,
Stuart, Hood, Wheeler, and other
Southern generals agreed with him to
favor the reconstruction policy of the
Republican party, and failed to keep
their agreement when they found that
it would not be popular in the South
to do SO. General Longstreet denies
that there was any agreement with the
generals named, or, in fact, any agree
ment whatever. He says: "The
soldiers named were all gentlemen, land
had they made any such agreement
they would have carried it out. If
did tread the wine press along. did
so on my own motion.

THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1890.

THE Nash county railroad grows in
favor. When the matter is viewed in
its proper light and Invested Of all
spirit of selhshness, it must be readily
seen that this road would be the big
gest thing Henderson could acquire.
1t would be valuable feeder to our
town and while developing the coun-
try through which it would run We
would be benefited in like proportion.

We quite agree with the Nezcs ana
Observe, when it says:
That was well-merited compliment
paid by the members of the Congress
sional Committee to Chairman Brough-
ton the other night, when they passed
a resolution of thanks to him for his
unremitting work last campaign.
We do not believe in waiting until
man dies before saying good things
about him-nor in Withholding praise
from those who deserve it. Mr.. Brough-
ton rendered very valuable party ser
vice, and labored assidiously and effec-
lively as chairman, and we are glad to
see this evidence of just appreciation.

WRITING of the Press Association
and the approaching meeting in Dur
ham, Col. Odds, Raleigh correspondent
of the Durham Globe says:
1t appears, so far as your correspon-
dent can Judge, that the meeting of the
Press Association this year will be more
interesting than usual. Not half the
editors in the State are members of it.
Some hold aloof, some show no inter
est in the work. Really the papers
would all be strengthened, and the
State benefited as we'll, if all the edi-
tors became members of the association.
The limited membership and relatively
small attendance are yearly subject
OF remark.

SAYS the Attleboro, Yer

SAYS the Attleboro, Vermont Adro-
cate:
With all the wealth of the North, the
South has been in all its poverty, ahead
of us in honoring the memory of the
greatest leader that section had in the
war, before the first stone is raised to
honor the memory of the matchless
Grant.
And the Adporate might have added
that the fact that the grandest monu-
ment of modern times has not been cree
ted to the memory of Gen. Grant long
before now, is a stigma upon the
patriotism Of those who followed him
and a gross reflection upon the appre-
citation of his services to the country
as it is supposed to exist in the North
ern mind and heart to-day.

The National Economist, after

The National Economist, after
speaking of the way nominations for
President are generally made, says:
Suppose, then, that the farmers in
the Democratic party were to suggest
to the hotheads of that party to stop
booming Cleveland and Hill for the
nomination and feel the pulse of the
country on Senator Vance for awhile.
What a stir it would make! True they
might lose doubtful State, but they
would gain half a dozen in the place
of it. The reason isplain and simple.
Vance IS noted as a plain man of the
people, wise man, pure man, an
honest, able and efficient man. His
people love him, and tears of Joy will
come to the eyes of a North Carolinian
every time he hears praises of "Old
Zeb Vance," Old and young, Repub-
licans and Democrats, rich and poor,
black and white will all alike feel hap
py and safe when such men are chosen.

To Tame q Bird,

No creature is more jealous or sen.

the heart of almost any bird, and
without starving him or making him
think he has mastered you. Simply
talk to him good deal. Place his
cage near you on your desk or work
table, aud retain his choicest dainty
to give to him with your own finger.
Let him know that b. can ne> or have
that particular thing onless he takes /,
from YOU. and he will soon learn, if
you are patient, and do not dlsconcert
by fixing v ur eyes upon him. After
this he will more realty take it from
your lips; and then when you let him
out of his cage, after the first excite
ment is over, he will come to you, es.
pecially il you have call you have
accustomed him to, and accept the
dainty from YOU while free As soon
as he becomes really convinced that
you will not hurt him, or try to catch
him, or interfere in any way with his
liberty, he will give WY t. his hound,
less curiosity about YOU; he will pull
your hair, pick at your eyes, and give
you as much of his company as you
desire.
