SENATOR VANCE.

There is an effort to arouse opposi-
ton to Senator Vance in North Caro-
lima because he is opposed to the sub
treasury scheme. Senator Vance can
stand defeat better than North Caro-
lima cap afford to lose his services in
the Senate. His courage in speaking
out against the sub-treasury scheme
strengthens his claim upon the respect
and confidence of the people of North
Carolina.-Noriolk Nrginian.
That, is our view of it exactly. Sena-
tor Vance can better afford to retire
to private life than the people Of North
Carolina can to do without his ser
vices in the Senate. He has made his
reputation and his record will stand
he is able to live without the $4,000
salary he gets, and SO it is neither for
additional honors, nor for the emolu
ments of Office that he would remain
where he is, but a sincere desire to
serve his people to the best of his abili-
ty, as he has always done. Zeb Vance
has been true to every trust and the
people Of North Carolina are the ones
upon whom honor will be reflected by
returning him to the United States
Senate and not him. He would be.
stow favor upon them by continuing
to serve them when he can SO we'll
afford to retire to private life and
spend the remainder OF his days in
peace and quiet. That is the way we
look at it..
Vance would lose nothing by being
defeated, but the people of North Caro-
lima would.

The Statesville Landmark does not
see any cause for serious apprehension
about the effect Of the Farmers Ali
ance on the Democratic party. Itsays:
We have infinite faith in the intelli-
gence, manhood and patriotism Of the
North Carolina farmers-qualities often
tested and in which they have never
been found wantlng-and while we
become sick at heart and indignant at
the efforts OF designing men to dupe
them We reflect again that their good
sense is their sure protection against
those who, protesting friendship for
them and seeking to stir them up
against old friends, are only trying to
make tools of them, and that their
conservatism is an assurance that they
will do nothing rashly.

WHILE we feel confident that the
election on the 2Ist will result in favor
OF the railroad, it is we'll enough tor
the friends of that measure to work
earnestly and actively from now until
next Monday night. Eternal labor Is
the price OF success and there are men
who must be seen and talked to and
convinced \ great many do not
favor the road because they do not
understand the great benefit it would
be to the town, while Others are hon
estly opposed to it because they do
not want to he taxed to help build it.
They see the tax and nothing else.
Make them to look beyond this and
many of them will vote for the road.

CAN TT BE?

In 1873 Henderson could boast OF
, nly 400 inhabitants. Since then her
growth has been almost marvellous,
being carried forward not by sudden
Jerks or booms but steady upward
march conducted by her progressive
citizens. The main spring has been
her tobacco trade which has increased
each year outstripping all competitors.
When the facts and figures of this
census are made public the growth OF
Henderson will be one Of the maryels
of the census of 1890 in North Carroll
ma. She has outrivaled towns of her
grade and taken position by the side
of those not heretofore considered as
within her reach as competitors in pop
ulation. While all this is true can it be
that some of her business men are
thinking seriously of not voting tor
the Nash county railroad? TO vote
against this road is to turn over to
Raleigh and other markets the tobacco
of the counties East of us, and they are
to-day raising about the finest tobacco
that comes to our market, and we are
acknowledged to handle the best.
We can not hope to extend our
trade in that direction if the road is
built on to Raleigh from Spring Hope,
and the one from Henderson is not
built. That fact is SO patent that it
needs no argument to enforce it. Nor
is this all. In that event we will not
even be able to retain the hold we al
ready have upon the trade of that sec
ton. People do not haul their pro-
duce to market in covered wagons
over dirt roads twenty-five or forty
miles when they have railroad run
ming close by and have othing to dc
but load it on a fiat or box car and
ship it instead. Henderson may pay
more for tobacco but the saving in
time and trouble and wear and tear O
wagon and teams will more than make
up the difference the farmer will argue
and he will put his tobacco on the
train and sell it in some other market
We can not afford to lose the trade O.
this eastern section. They not only
raise fine tobacco now but are rapidly
increasing both the acreage and quail
ty year by year.
Surely, gentleman, you are perpe
trating a huge joke but such an one a:
your town can not afford to bear, as il
would be disastrous to the future Of oul
live, progressive Henderson of to-day
Such talk might do for dead towr
and old fogy business men, but not fo1
the solid, sensible business men O
Henderson. Surely it can not be.

CONVENTION POSTPONED.

We have been requested by F. A.
Woodland, Esq, Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Commitete of
the Second Congressional District, to
announce that the convention called
to meet in Wilson on the 10th, has
been postponed to some date to be
named hereafter. This is done at the
request Of a majority of the Executive
Committee and others in the District,
at the request of the people in Halifax
and Berthe, whose county conventions
did not meet until the I4th inst, and
it was feared the delegates from these
counties might not be able 10 attend.

cob. w. F. BEASLEY FOR SUPER
INTENDENT OF THE ORPHAN
ASYTUM

Without knowing whether he would
accept the position or not, because we
do not know but what his business is
such that he could not do so, the GOLD
LEAF suggests the name Col. w. F.
Beasley as suitable person to succeed
DR.. Dixon as Superintendent of the
Oxford Orphan Asylum. That insti-
tuition has not got better friend in
all the land and no man has done more
to make glad the hearts of the father
less and homeless orphans than Col.
Beasley, the "Old Santa Claus of
the Asylum. He understands the
workings of the institution, is man
of practical ideas, large hearted, and
big Drained, is active and energetic,
loved by all the children and would,
we believe, make an ideal Superin-
tendent, fit and worthy successor of
that good man whose labors have been
transferred to another field. The GOLD
LEAF believes Col. Beasley is the man
to take DR.. Dixon's place.

TO THE EDITORS.

AS the time for the meeting of the
Press Association approaches, the
Globe would again remind you that
Durham wants to have the pleasure of
your company during the session. You
will be welcome guest, whether you
are a member of the association or not.
1t is entirely within the bounds to say
that the preparations made for the en-
tertainment of the newspaper men
during their visit to Durham are on a
more extensive and elaborate scale
than have been made for any previous
meeting of editors in the State. Besides
the entertainment provided for in the
program that has been published, there
are several additional attractive fea-
lures and pleasant surprises that await
the editors.
The pleasures of the occasion will
not end with the adjournment of the
meeting, for the Richmond & Danville
and the Atlantic & North Carolina
railroads have kindly rendered the
editors an excursion to Morehead City,
and the proprietors of the Atlantic
hotel have invited the editors to be
their guests during a two or three days
visit. As the State Chronicle truly
says, the editors are in luck. Those
who can spare the time to come to the
meeting and go on the excursion to
Morehead are fortunate indeed. Those
who have to stay at home deserve the
sympathy of all the rest.
Now let every North Carolina editor
make up his mind to take a week, or
longer if necessary, and stay with the
Press Association from the opening Of
the session until the last of the party
leaves Morehead City.-Durham Globe

In his Grafton delivered in Norfolk
Confederate Memorial day, Hon.
John Goode was loudly applauded
when he said:
The people of the South to-day are
true and loyal to the restored Union.
When they laid down their arms and
protested to renew their allegiance,
they acted in good faith and meant
what they said. If, unfortunately, our
common country should ever become
involved in trouble with a foreign
power and the government should call
for volunteers, the men of the South
would respond with as much alacrity
as those Of any other section.
