A Gard From Capt. Shaw.

HENDERSON, n. c., July 21st, 1892.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF, Dear Sir:-It has
been my purpose to take but little Or no
part in political discussions. And on no
occasion have | sought q controversy
with that misguided element OF my own
party calling themselves the Third party,
but it seems there is an attempt or plan
on foot to drag me into a discussion
with some of their speakers. | do not
understand why have been selected as
a target. have just been informed that
am expected to speak at one OF their
meetings tonight, which is the third
time such q report has been circulated,
when had no invitation or notice OF it
until the day of speaking. | do not I'M
derstand the purpose in all this, unless
it is to draw a crowd, to their meetings.
| also hear, Mr. Editor. that reports
have been put out that have been thus
invited to meet their speakers in discus
sion. and that | am afraid to do SO.
Now, think we have enough to do to
fight the common enemy of our country,
and if there be any Arnolds in our ranks
let them alone for awhile and let poster
ity deal with them.
While my desire is not to enter actively
III. a political canvass again, l take this
occasion TO say, Wnen any man, alCer
fair and full advertisement, whether he
be Gfeenbacker, Prohibitionist, Woman
Fighter, Republican, Nihiiist Feniam, Com
munist, Or Third party man, comes upon
the soil of Vance county to advocate
any political doctrine antagonistic to
the principles of true Democracy, ain
ready at the bid OF my fellow Democrats
to meet him. And let him take notice
| that he must come armed with the truth
OF his assertions or abide the conse-
| quences. Yours, &C.,
W B. SHAW

Building in Henderson.

While there is nothing like a boom
on in Henderson, considering the
season when things are usually dull,
there is a considerable amount of
building being done, fact which
drive around town is only necessary to
reveal. Among other improvements
going on in this line we note hand
some ten-room dwelling house being
built by S. F. Teiser, on his lot re-
Gently purchased of Col. Burgwyn :;
Asa Farrar's dwelling on the corner
next to George Adams, on West Main
street; an addition to R. B. Hayes
house; new porch to Geo. B. Harris
residence; three new buildings at the
colored college; brick building by j.
W. Beck on his lot opposite the old
Henderson hotel; an addition to John
D. Cooper's residence; cottage house
by Mrs. Cora A. Phelps on the vacant
lot next to her present residence; Will
Carter, cottage house next to Robert
Crozier; a new dress of paint applied
to the residences of D. Y. Cooper and
J. c. Cooper, Jr.; roof painted and re-
pairs being made to Davis warehouse;
s. & G. Watkins are arranging to re-
model their store somewhat by putting
in an iron frort ON the side and having
an entrance from Montgomery street.
In addition to these improvements
all of which require the employment
of labor and the expenditure of money,
the usual work is going on in the fac
tories and workshops and business with
the merchants has been reasona bly,
good. While the town may seem
quiet our people are doing about as well
as those to be found anywhere. This is
the dull season and just at this time
there is very little to make business
brisk. But there are good crops in
the land and if nothing happens from
now on the yield will be heavy in all
departments and something to eat will
be plentiful another year.

Col. Burgwyn's Address.

The Winston Southern Tobacco Jour
nal says this of Col. Burgwyn's adj
dress before the State Tobacco Associa-
ton at Morehead City:
The address of Col. Burgwyn was
an able and polished effort. Itabouuded
in statistical information which opened
the eyes of many. 1t was pointed,
we'll adapted to the occasion. full of
enthusiasm for North Cardinals grea t
industry. and delivered in a style which
caught and held the attention of every
hearer The election of Col. Burgwyn
to the Presidency was one of the best
strokes of the Association work. He
is thoroughly in accord with the aims of
this body. and will enter the work de-
termined to make the organization an
honor and blessing to the State.
The publication of Col. Burgwyn' s
address was delayed on account OF
pressure for space this week and some
delay in getting the manuscript. We
expect to lay this important paper
before our readers shortly, for it is
among the most valuable ever contrib
Ited to the trade in behalf of North
Carolina tobacco.
