Advantage Taken OF Them by Men,
bers to Talk Increasingly
of Finance.
Contrary to Expectation tho Cur
rency Expansion Bill Was
not Discussed.
Mere Financial BILLS aud Am end m ents In
the Senate Berry speaks ON
the Subject.

WARRINGTON Aug. 16.-The flexible rules
OF the senate are proving Of great service
just now by permitting every member whs
has ths inclination to give utsersnoe to his
financial views At any time and to any ex-
tent he may choose. While Senator Voor-
hees did mot succeed In getting that body 10
enter to-day, as was hoped, upon active
consideration of his bill swelling tho vol
uns Of national bank currs ENJOY 20 tho par
value Of their United States bonds ON de-
post. the greater portion Of the day was
devoted to the discussion Of one or more of
the various financial propositions or 1850
lutions pending. No one expects any de-
ctsive action by the senate until most of
the senators have had an opportunity to
exprsss their views. and anything which
offers IN occasion for spesch-making may
bs said to be step towards Anal solution.
henderson introduced two bills whioh.
he said. had been prspa cd and sort to him
by gentleman Of financial ability and
which We read BY ttssr titles and referred
to the finance COMMITTEES. The titles are
directing the purchase Of silver bullion
and the issuance OF treasury notes therefor.
and for the appointment Of q mint commits
sion;" Providing for the issue OF treasury
notes. for their redemption, and for other
purposss."
Voorhees,. chairman of the finance COM
mittee. said he had been appealed TO by
several senators not to call up, to-day, a.
he intended. the bill 10 enable national
banks to increase their circulation 10 tho
amount of the par valus Of the bonds de-
posted by them. bat he gave notice that he
would do 80 tomorrow.
Cockrell offered an amendment directing
tho secretary Of the treasury to paw TO
holders Of two per cent bonds who may
present them for redemption their face
value. with sccrued interest, in United
States legal tender notes.
sherman stated the objections which CO.
ourred to his mind against the amendment.
The president of the United States had
called attention in clear and forOible Ian.
guaRe to the fact that treasury notes issued
under the act Of 1890 were presented for
rede mption in gold, and that that caused
the Fl 81 falling off In the BOD 900, 900 gold
reserve. The proposed amendment he re-
gardsl a. most dangerous financial proE-
osition.
Finally the bill and amendment won't
over until to- morrow and Berry addressed
the senate in favor of double standard,
gold and silver. The repeal of the Sher-
man act. without other legislation, would,
in his opinion. place the country upon
gold basis; would prevent the future coin
age of any silver and forever practically
destroy silver as money.

Y. M. @. A. Notes.

Rev. G. M. Wharton, of w arren ton,
delivered very helpful address Sun
day on ''Lot's Choice.'' The speaker
showed that men must choose, and
that they are constantly choosing be-
tween good and bad. He then pro-
ceeded to contrast the choice of Abra-
ham and Lot. The latter's was selfish.
Selfishness is at the bottom of all sin.
The effect of Lots choice upon himself
and family was then wildly shown.
He lost influence, property, wife, sons,
and escaped only after repeated warn
ings, urging, and was saved $50 as by
fire." Abraham was large-hearted,
generous and consecrated to God. He
increased while Lot decreased in power
and wealth and true goodness.
The new baths continue to please,
and attract many visitors. The hot water
heater works like charm, and gives
entire satisfaction. Water is heated on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays,
day and night.
Mr.. F. H. Rossiter, the new Secre-
tary who has been in charge of the
Association about three months, has
impressed our people as being the
right man in the right place as nearly
as it is possible for one to attain in
the position which he holds. He is an
sup to date" man in all that the term
implies-an everyday Christian-prac-
tical, consecrated, a live worker, and we
believe is welding moral and spir-
itual influence over the youth and
young men Of this community that will
result in much good. Mr.. Rossiter by
his genial disposition, pleasant and
courteous manner and Christian bear
ing has made friends of all.

JOHN B. WATKINS.
A Deserving Enterprise.

Mr.. z. L. Roles, of the enterprising
and successful furniture manufacturing
firm Of Ruffin Roles, Raleigh, spent
several days in Henderson the past
week, with his wife who was here WIS.,
iting her parents Mr.. and Mrs. W. H.
Hughes. He had Photographic sam
pies of their work which shows up
equal to that made anywhere, and
their prices are low enough to make
them to compete successfully with the
same class of goods from the North or
Northwest. AS deserving State en-
terprise the GOLD LFAF takes pleas
ure in commenting this establishment
and the superior quality of its work.
The Reidsville RerieU of last week,
whose editor had just made personal
visit TO Mr.. Roles's factory in Raj
eigh, makes the following mention of
the high class of goods turned out
there. It says:
The furniture factory of Mr.. Rufin
Roles turns out some of the handsom-
est plain and fine art furniture I have
eyer laid eyes on. The designs are
conceived by Mr.. Roles himself, who
is genius at the business. His pat
terms are distinct from all others on
the market on account of the freshness
and originality displayed in the get up.
The finish of all work sent out is SIM
ply perfect. His factory is getting a
good patronage, but it deserves to do
better and home people ought to be
quicker to recognize its worth.

The Mysterious Montreal Ad.
vertising Agency Positively
Identified.


vertising Agency Positively
Identified.
The following article substantiating
the correctness of what we have pub
lished about the fraudulent character of
the so called advertising agency Of W.
A. Coon & Co., Montreal, and the
Rudge Celery Pill Co., whose adver-
tisement was sent out by this new
Coon awhile back, is taken from the
Publishers Commercial Union, of
Chicago.
A new advertising concern has recently
entered the field, and considerable in
quiry has been made OF late regarding it's
financial responsibility and business
standing. The new concern travels under
the name of w. A. Coon & Co., is located
in Montreal, Canada, and is at present
placing the business OF the Dominion
Illustrated.
The above mentioned publication has
up to a short time ago been under the
control of reliable parties, but was not a
success, however. from a financial point
of view. Finding the paper con its last
legs" and no hope of being able to put
it on paying basis, the publishers con-
cluded to sell, and found O ready pur-
chaser in the notorious R. H. Osgoodby
the process of pushing the fakey word
guessing and free trip schemes has re-
suited in such a lucrative patronage that
Mr.. Osgoodby concluded to allow a
reliable CD firm of advertising agents to
place his future propositions before the
United States publishers, that fiashy"
letterhead might catch the several papers
assailed and at the same time keep his
name under cover. With this object in
view he formed alittle advertising agency
I of his own, and named it W. A. Coon eco.
For sOmetimeit was q matter of question
who the firm was and whether reliable
or not. Montreal attorneys have been
foodediwith inquiries from United States
papers soliciting information in regard
to the concern, which had never been
heard of in Montreal, and it has only
been recently that a satisfactory and full
explanation could be given. It has now
been proved beyond a doubt that the
head of the concern is r. II. Osgoodby,
and that it was organized for the express
purpose of handling his numerous
fraudulent schemes.
The reputation of the proprietor of
this new venture is pretty gen orally
known, and it is needless to warn pub
fishers to be extremely wary in accepting
his propositions. In the past he has
succeeded in capturing numerous Amer
lean dollars through various question
able means, and there is no reason to
believe that any favorable change in his
tactics may be looked for. The easiest
way out of difficulties (or to avoid get
ting into them) is to decline any of his
future propositions, as W. A. Coon & Co,
will in all probability transact business
on the same principle as that practiced
by their notorious predecessor.

Ready for Business.

A good motto and one Always OBJ
served is that printed at the head of
Harris, Gooch & Co.'S new advertise
ment in this issue of the GOLD LEAF.
1--WE always get the highest prices for
all grades of tobacco sold with u.s.
That's it, and the thousands of plant
ers who have sold their tobacco at
Harris's warehouse in past years know
that this is no empty boast-a shadow
without substance. This firm look
forward to an increased business with
the coming of the new crop and will
be found fully prepared to meet every
demand made upon them.
With each succeeding year since they
entered the warehouse business in
1885, their patronage has increased and
their reputation extended until to-day
Harris, Gooch & Co., are recognized
by the trade as among the leading and
most successful warehousemen in the
State.
Men of the highest character, in
whose judgment and honesty of pur-
pose those who know and have had bust
ness relations with them place the

their large and ever increasing business,
is but the logical result of intelligent
application and the just reward Of
worth and merit. Personally there
are no more agreeable and satisfactory
men to do business with than Harris,
Gooch & Co., and none more accurate
and reliable in their methods. Their
firm integrity and quick but deliberate
judgment have won for them the recog-
milton and confidence oftheir associates
in the trade and the large and growing
class of intelligent planters who confide
their interests to them. AS progress
sive, wide-awake warehouscmen, they
deserve the highest credit, and in
future will spare neither labor nor ex-
pense in their efforts to keep up their
record both as to the amount OF Tobacco o
sold and high and satisfactory prices
realized for the farmers who patronize
their house.

Judicious Advertising Pays.

The fact is becoming more and more
fixed in the minds ofall successful bust
ness men that advertising judiciously
done is the true secret of their success.
Testimony to the effect that it pays
and pays well is unlimited. On the
other hand we quote the following from
an exchange:
Statistics show, we belive, that
among the honest failures and assign
ments the majority are of those who
did not think it paid to advertise. They
have been the victims of their own
obtuseness.
This applies to all persons who are
candidates for public favor. If you
want to succeed in your business or
profession advertise in the newspapers
that are most read. All the successful
merchants and capitalists give their
