Efficient Service Rendered.
HENDERs on, \. C., July %, 1882

HENDERS on, y. T., July 2S, 1917.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-As a rule l am
averse to giving especial prominence to
any one industry, enterprise or business
over another, in the same town where it
is supposed all are using their best ef-
! forts to promote the welfare of the COM
munity; but in one instance, without in
tending in the least to disparage any
other persons engaged in like business, |
feel that particular mention should be
made, and full credit given to whom
credit is due.
therefore beg that you will permit me
through your columns in behalf OF my
/ self and many other citizens in the town
Tin fact I believe l but speak the senti-
ments of alD to express our high appre-
citation of the admirable service which is
being rendered to our people by the
Postal Telegraph Gable Company. This
company opened an Office here about
two years ago, and through its manage
ment Henderson has been put in more
direct communication with the world,
certainly so far as all public matters are
concerned.
1t is true, Mr.. Editor, that the eff
cheney of this service is due in a great
measure to it's excellent manager, Mr.. }.
in its employ a more industrious, cour-
teous, genial and obliging gentleman.
I remember but recently when the
great National political conventions
were being held, how day time and night
time he remained at his post and our
people heard the news almost as quick
as the visitors in the convention halls.
But few days ago hardly had the re-
port OF the assassin's pistol died away
before the company had posted it's bull
letin giving the news Gree of all charge)
to our people, that Mr.. Frick had been
shot.
Irepeat therefore that such conduct
deserves especial mention, and especial
encouragement from our people.
Very Respectfully,

Swindler CAUGHT.

Whenever q swindler-forgers and
bogus check passerS specially-under-
take to operate in Henderson they are
sure to be caught up with. We doubt
not more men Of this class have been
:ut short i'll their career here that any
where else in the State. The last one
was nicely dressed, genteel looking
young man who put in an appearance
Wednesday of last week evidently
intending to do up the Henderson
banks. Stepping i'll at Farrar's book
store to get a glass of soda water.
Mr.. "Segall," as he called himself.
| incidentally remarked that he had
lust received a remittance from his
house and would have to remain in
town until next morning when the
banks opened before he could get his
check cashed. Saying this he handed
Mr.. Farrar his card claiming to rep
resent King, Hates & Co., wholesale
talit dealers, of Washington City. Our
Young townsman had Just been reading
| about a fellow doing up the banks
of Farmville, Va, who claimed to be
| travelling for this house. and his sus-
picions were aroused at once. He put
| the bank officials on their guard and
next morning when Segall appeared
with his bogus check he failed to get it
cashed. 1t was drawn for s15, the
same amount Of both checks passed on
the Farmville banks. He went to
Oxford and got check for s775 cashed
at Cooper's bank. He came back to
Henderson and tried again to get his
check (he no doubt had more than
| une) cashed here. kilograms had
been sent to Farmville and plans were
| being effected for his arrest when he
LETT and went to Durham. In the
meantime his true character had been
ascertained and it showed him to be a
sharp swindler who had operated in a
number of places. Cooper's bank was
| notified and the fellow was tracked to
Selma. y. c., where he was arrested
and taken back to Oxford. He broke
Gown completely and confessed every
| thing Part of the money was re-
covered. He told a pitiful tale and
claimed that this was his first otfense.
| He was admitted to bail in the sum of
$3.50, and went on his way free man
this amounting virtually to his release.
In Oxford he passed off as Stern. and
il Durham as Rosenbaum. He was a
Jew but refused to give his real name.
Communication with Washington re-
yealed the fact that the checks he had
in his possession and had passed were
bogus, and it has been established
eyoud doubt that he is the same
fellow who operated in Farmville
Eequisition papers were being made
out for him when he was permitted tt
give bond and 90 on his way.

A TIMELY WORK.
Frauds and Falsehoods of the
Republican Party.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of H. J. Smith & Co., publishers
263 s. 265 Wabash Avenue, Chicago
announcing new book entitled
* Frauds and Falsehoods of the Re.
publican Party The work has been
approved by leading Democrats and
is said to be a timely one and cal
culated to do great good to the cause
of Democracy in the present campaign
The publishers claim for the book tina,
it is in thorough accord with the Demo
cratic party that it gives full discus
sion of those measures upon which the
two great parties have taken issue
during the past twenty-five years; thai
it presents the question of to-day in
a manner which must win the approva
of Democrats everywhere; that it con
tains facts and data of vital importance
to every voter who would be informed
upon the questions of to-day; that il
is not rehash of stale arguments
newspaper reports, press dispatches
ETC., but is new, fresh and original
the biographies are complete and re
liable, and that the report Of the con
vention is full and correct.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

BY local applications. for they can not

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-

Tube. When this tube gets intlamed You
have rum5ling sound or imperfect hear

is the result and unless the Inflammation
