Edward G. Barnes, son of John NJ.
and Parthena J. Barnes, was born in
Granville now Vance, county, within
three miles of Henderson, July 3rd,
1859. He was educated at HOrner's
School, T. j. & W. D. Horner, prin-
cipals, and continued to reside on the
farm until December End, 1873, when
he came to Henderson and entered the
employment Of E. G. Davis as a sales
man. He remained with Mr.. Davis
until the first of June, 1880, when he
took a position with D. Y. Cooper,
with whom he is still engaged.
Mr.. Barnes career and success from
the time he identified himself with the
tobacco interests Of Henderson, is
known to all patrons Of this market.
There is not better known or more
popular man connected with the trade.
He is companionable and agreeable,
knows everybody. and everybody
knows and likes him. Energetic and
untiring in business, he is never so
happy as when serving his friends
and patrons and leaves nothing undone
that will contribute to their welfare
and prosperity.
Being brought up on a farm and in
ured to hard labor until he reached his
nineteenth year, Mr.. Barnes was vel
fitted for the busy life he has since led
He is live man and may rightly
be called ''hustler," as that term
now goes. No man works harder fol
those who intrust their interests to his
hands and this fact is recognized an(
appreciated by the thousands of plan
tiers who have had dealings with him
True and loyal to his friends, he de.

he had the power Of Midas, the world
would be none the worse off, for as
gold came at his touch, SO would he
put it in circulation.

From this it may be readily seen what
a big corporation the Seaboard AIRLINE
system is getting to be. 1t has ever been
the policy Oi the officers to build up ana
develop the towns and country along It's
line. and recognizing this fact the GOLD
LEAF cnlertains only tn" highest regard
for them personally and wishes them we'll
in all their legitimate undertakings.
There are no ADLER railroad men i'll the
country than the officers OF the Seaboard
Airline Mr. John VI. Robinson, o. Bal
timore, is President, ond he has won his
present high position by deserving 1t.
He is a graduate Of Harvard University.
When he left the University his father
placed him in a railroad shop, where he
served his time as a machinist. He was
then put i'll charge OF an engine and soon
became thorough locomotive engineer.
He knows as much about running an
engine and about trains, rOadbeds, etc,
as any man in the employ OF the vast
system OF which he is president
Alter having thoroughly mastered the
details of ralrOadiEg, he went into the
offices, and soon rose to the position he
now OccupieS-One OF the most alb lie rail-
road managers i'll America.
Mai. John c. Winder, OF Ralei Oh, is
General Manager He is known OF us all
and is greatly admired for his many
sterling qualities and courteous, gentle
manly bearing. Modest and unassumlng
in nature he is at the same time one OF
the most prac teal and well furnished
railroad managers in the South, and Oc-
cupics his present high and responsible
position as rccOgniti on and reward OF
genuine merit. Maj. Winder has always
given evidence OF a deep interest III
and kind feeling for our town and we
look for still better things in future from
the corporation over whose destinies he
so ably presidcs.
IL
Gle about the Scaboard Airline, says:
Owing to the increased traffic and the
near prospect of opening their connec-
ton South TO Atlanta the Seaboard Air
Line has placed with the Richmond Lo-
coInative Works an order for ten loco
motives to be delivered as rapidly as
possible In about Il month Gen. HOke
will reach Atlanta with his new road.
This will give the SeabOard Airline a
Southern connection and make it a
grand trunk line. If the connection from
Ridgeway to Richmond was completedit
would make this much the shortest line
between the North and South. The
property of til" system is in excellent
condition and the officers among the
ablest in the country. They are all our
people-identifpd with our interests and
will do everything possible 20 build up
the section through which the systems
line passes.

patrons, both of whom he so faithfully
and acceptably serves. Possessed IN
rare degree of native energy and good
judgment, he is one of the best inform
ed men on all that pertains to the char
acter and quality Of tobacco connected
with the trade. He is man OF truth,
honor and integrity. and one in whom
you can confide at all times.
While he has labored assiduously to
build up his business he has not sought
to do so to the detriment of others,
but has ever pursued the even tenor
Of his course, and allowed his rivals in
trade to co the same way, with no at
tempt at hindrance or manifestation Of
i'll will. Mr.. Barnes is a free, open
hearted, genial gentleman, with a
pleasing countenance and the happy
faculty Of impressing himself upon all
he meets as their friend and well
wisher. Such a person can not we'll
be otherwise than successful in bust
ness enterprises Of any character
However much competition he may
have, he moves right along, retaining
his hold upon his old customers and
constantly gaining new ones. This
results from honest dealing. the proper
recognition Of the rights of his patrons,
and the little acts of civility and courtesy
! due to all.
In addition to his business above

Speaks at WInfieid-A Strong and Logical
Plea for Some Needed Reforms in Edu-

IT. ne E,Jj,or of fha Pa0tsssy.

Speaks at WInfieid-A Strong and Logical
Plea for some Needed Reforms in Edu-
cationaI Feeling and Methods.
To the Editor Of tbs Register:
SIR:-The teachers and citizens Of Put
nam county were highly favored in hav-
ing State Superintendent b. s. Morgan
to address them Thursday evening. Mr..
Morgan was in happy vein and in his
usual logical and forcible manner pre-
sented the educational needs Of our
State in an effective way.
"Those countries in which the most
effectual education sgiven to the youth
are to-day at the forefront Of civiliza-
ton. The States that enforce the most
stringent requirements as TO the in
struction of youth are the foremost
States in the Union. The right to
tax wealth for the instruction Of
poverty implies the right TO require
both poor and rich to take advantage OF
their opportunities by some system OF
compulsory education.
The State superintendent is charged
with important duties; the enforcement
OF the school law, the preparation OF
HtCtSSdll lOl Ills dnA Uldnhoi bAAO ~
vision and regulation Of teachers insti-
tutes, the chief duty in the control Of
the normal schools, etc, yet public
opinion in accord with the spirit of our
laws is necessary to his usefulness. The
county Superintendent has important
duties relative to the proper qualitca-
ton Of teachers and preparation of re-
cords. But in the hands Of the Board
of Education lies the greatest real pow
er. The real power is quite near TO the
people, local, hence all needed advance
ment and reforms must come through
the people and be REINFORCED by public
opinion.
The person to influence and mold this
public opinion is the teacher. The
teacher must post himself, make him
self power in his community and mold
public sentiment.
We need a change in the method Of
distributing school tax. / would that
we could have the territorial unit en-
larged from the district TO the county.
Then wealth would assist poverty and
school privileges would be equalized,
High schools would be provided for the
country as well as the city pupil, and
taxes be more equally distributed.
County superintendence should be
better paid, that men might better pre-
pare themselves for its performance.
Public sentiment must be so aroused
that the youth shall be more regular in
attendance at school, and that all shall
attend before our school system can full
I'll it's high mission. Could the words
of Mr. Morgan, In which he uttered
the above and similar sentiments in
clear and convincing manner, be heard
in every county in the State, much good
would certainly accrue. TEACHER.
