Since the last public appearance Of Signor
Campanini the tenor, at the Broadway Thea

Il experienced no pain or physical discom-

losing my voice. ! went to DR.. Holbrook Curtis
and had him examine my throat He looked
at 1t carefully and found that there was little
tumor back Of the vocal chord. When tried
a high note the point OF this tumor would come
IN between the chords, and 1t was this that
caused the huskiness He told me that the only
way to overcome this trouble would be to stop
singing at once. and to put myself under treat
mont. and accordingly did 80. Every day for
the past three and q half months. and some
times twice day. this tumor has been operated
uiOn. DR.. Curtis said there was no doubt In
tirely The tumor had arisen. he, said, from
my constant singing. To-day he told me that
had practically recovered. He permit ted me
TO practice a little. and found the high notes
as clear as ever. The doctor says now that
will be- able to sing all right In concert within
a month. and ! am therefore preparing for

". r. HENRY FOR SOLICITOR.

The GOLD LEAF puts itself on rec
ord as endorsing the candidacy OF
Mr.. w. r. Henry for the solicitorship
of this district, and will earnestly adj
vocate his claims for that position.
Aside from his fitness for the place,
this end of the district is entitled to
consideration, and as Vance county
has asked for nothing heretofore she
has right to assert her claims now,
and in justice and fairness she should
be heard. And recognizing such right,
conscious that she has man who is in
every way qualified for the duties of the
office, Vance county puts forward her
talented and worthy son and will Wig
orously press his claims.
Mr.. Henry possesses every requisite
for the full and satisfactory discharge
of the duties of the office of solicitor,
and if elected we believe his course
would reflect honor upon himself and
credit to the State. A well equipped
lawyer, a close student, industrious.
careful and painstaking in the prepa-
ration of his cases strong, forceful
and persuasive in argument before a
jury, Mr.. Henry is admirably fitted
to be solicitor, and we are pleased tC
see his claims being strongly advoca-
ted by his friends.

FRANKLIN AGAIN SPEALS.
The Proposed Henderson & Nashville
Railroad.

LoUIsBURG, N. c., April ~, 1890.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF Il see you are
advocating the building of a railroad
from your place to Nashville and
Springhope, suppose in place Of the
one we tried to get some years ago
under the management of Mr.. Will
lams. We need it much-ss many of
our people, as well as those of Nash,
prefer to sell tobacco in your market
In fact, l don't see how Henderson
can afford to lose so much tobacco and
trade, for as soon as they put the Rocky
Mount road through to Raleigh your
town must lose this patronage. l am of
opinion that Louisburg will not favor
such road now but we can build it
without Louisburg If the road should
go to Dukes Cross Roads there is a
ridge from Dukes to my place, eight
miles from Louisburg on the Warren
ton road end one mile from Sandy
Creek. 1t is little village and if the
road was to come here would grow up
quickly. would give them a loca-
ton and much business would be done
here. Mr.. Williams was going to ex-
anime this route had he succeeded.
hope you will keep the matter before
the people and let us have the road to
Nashville. Very Truly Yours,
A. d. ELLIS.

The COLD LEAF favors OcraCoke as
the place to hold the Press Convention
this year. We like the idea Of meeting
in different portions of the State from
year to year. 1t is an object lesson
to the editors, who of all others need
to know the people and be informed
as to our resources and natural advan-
tages. We met in the mountains
last year, and according to custom
some place in the East will be Sc
lected this year. In 1888 We went
to Morehead and while that is 4 most
delightful place and easy of access, we
prefer going to some other seaside re-
sort this time, and we believe no more
pleasant and suitable place can be Sc
lected than Ocracoke. We were in
clined toward it when the matter was
brought up at Lenoir last summer, and
now since Brother Latham of the
Washington Gazette has put forth its
claims and attractions in such elo-
Quence and beauty as he does in an
article published elsewhere, we declare
ourself in favor of Ocracoke by large
majority.

AVOICE FROM FRANKLIN COUN-
TY.
In Favor Of Building the Railroad
from Henderson to Nashville.

STALLINGs, N. c., April 21st, 1890.
EDITOR GOLD AL see in the
Louisburg 7IMes,a extract from your
paper, that the people of Henderson
are just beginning to see that there is
a railroad needed from your place to
Nashville via. Stallings, Cedar Rock
and Castalla. 1t really looks to me
that the project should have claimed
your citizens attention great while
ago. Our Eastern Franklin county and
the upper part of Nash, are the finest
tobabcco lands, SO said by the Vance
and Granville tobacco farmers, in the
State. Besides we have an abundance
of fine timber, granite, and in fact
every species of commodity that go to
make up a fine section of country.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you may hear some
sectional fellow say, "Oh, come with
your Henderson railroad by Louisburg
to Springhope.' Now, sir, can't any
geographer see that just plain common
sense would direct your road through
a longer section of country tor freight,
and along the loveliest country and
fewer bridges, than any other road in
the State? l am alta loss to see why
the Raleigh & CASTOR road don't at
once push branch from their road at
your place, to Nashville. AS under
stand, the Richmond & Danville road
is making all haste, with the Whining
ton road, to help them to open up
every waste place adjacent to them
possible. We, sir, along this line will
help the enterprise cheerfully by giving
right of way, and with our means.
Push it through, Mr.. Editor, with the
assistance of your good Henderson
people. We are with you. We want
the Railroad through this section, for
we are shut out from the light, and
what we want is more light, both by
day and burden too.
Yours truly,
NJ. SrALLINGs.

THE HENDERSON AND NASHVILLE
RAILROAD.

In advocating the building of a
railroad from Henderson to Nashville,
we are glad to have suchan earnest and
intelligent ally at the other end as we
find in the Argonaut. In the last
issue of that paper the following APP
peared as an editorial article
We do not know of any section of
the State through which railroad
could be constructed with promise Of
greater benefit to the people, land profit
to the stockholders, than that through
which one would pass, from Hender
son to Nashville, and we are glad to
learn that the people of Henderson
are giving the matter careful considera-
ton. We feel sure when the subject
has been properly digested by them,
they will not only see its great impor
lance to the future of that place, but
with their well-known enterprise, will
take hold of the matter and put it
through There is not better agri
cultural section in North Carolina than
that intervening between the two
points mentioned. This is especially
true with respect to fine tobacco, the
growth of which, in the county of Nash,
is assuming such large proportions.
Henderson cannot afford to neglect
to reach out after this tobacco and
furnish means for its transportation to
their market. The time has come
when farmers cannot afford to haul
their products on wagon, twenty or
thirty miles to market. More expedi-
tious and cheaper means for reaching
market must and will be provided, land
the place that wishes to get the bust
ness must furnish the convenience.
We are familiar with the route which
a road from Henderson to Nashville
would naturally take, and it is one of
easy grade with practically no bridges,
and the cost of construction would be
comparatively very low. The people
through the entire route are intelligent
and enterprising and anxious for rail
road facilities, and we are confident
would aid to the fullest extent of their
bility. In addition, the townships
would, we have no doubt, cheerfully
vote to issue township bonds for a
reasonable amount.
Let the people of Henderson push
this most important, and to the future
prosperity of that town, most vital en-
terprise, and we will second their eff
forts at this end of the line, and the
work can be accomplished.
