Y. M. G. A. to be Continued.
The following circular letter has been
issued by the officers of the Y. NJ. C. A.
OF Henderson which explains itself:
HENDERSON, N. c., Feb. Goth, 1898.
DEAR SIR:-At a meeting of the Board
OF Directors of this Association just held,
it was decided to at once open correspon-
dence with view to getting General
Secretary at the earliest possible date,
and to prosecute the work from now on
with renewed vigOr and zeal.
We have enough money now pledged
to pay the running expenses OF the Asso-
citation for the year 1898, bat since the
first year of our Association under Secre-
tarial management we have carried over
from year to year debt of from two to
three hundred dollars, anu the Board of
Directors realize that to be successful in
the future it is essential to pay off this
debt at once and avoid further similar
obligations.
We believe there are 200 men and
women in Henderson who will give 81 90
cash each to the Association in order
that this may be accomplished, and we
appeal to you for the sake of this inn
portant work for our young men, to help
us to this further extent now
The enclosed book explains itself,
kindly add your name to the list OF
donors to this special fund. If conven.
lent, you can insert your $1.0O between
the pages of the book, but if not give us
your name, and the Treasurer will call
upon you in day or two Shou Id you
not feel disposed or able to comply with
this request, kindly return the book at
once in order that we may promptly use
it elsewhere.
Enclosed find stamped envelope fol
your answer, and trusting to have your
favorable action, remain,
Yours very truly,

Gold Mining.

Recently the GOLD LEAF had some
thing to say about the intention of
certain capitalists to operate for gold
in this section, or rather some miles
from here in the vicinity of Ranso S
Bridge, and now we are in position to
speak more definitely. This week
Geo. z. Hart, Esq, attorney, repre-
senting New York and Richmond
parties, closed a contract of purchase
and lease with J. p. Taylor, of our
town, to operate the gold property
near Ransom's Bridge, in which he
has proprietary interest, on an ex-
tensive scale. Operations will COM
mence in few weeks. The company
is to be incorporated as the Carolina
Gold Mining Co.. and will develop
several properties in this State.
There is gold in paying quantities
in different portions of Halifax, Nash,
Warren and Franklin, as already de-
monstrated, and there is gold in Gran
vile and we doubt not in Vance also.
There is remarkably rich lead mine
in Granville we are told from which
were made the bullets with which the
battle of Guilford Court House was
fought. This property ought to be
developed as we'll as the copper and
iron interests of that section.

A Vigorous Protest.

The bachelor editor of the WASH
ington Gazette is against return to the
fashion of wearing hoopskirts by the
women. In this Brother Latham sees
a barrier in the way of getting close
to his girl, and offers the following
vigorous protest:
IT'S with tears in our eyes almost
as big as humble bees that we relate
the appalling news that this country is
doomed to another invasion Of the hor-
rible hoopskirt. Give us yellow fever,
give us la grippe, give us choera, and
mamma hubbards by the millions, but
for sake of suffering humanity let the
Internal machine, in the shape of the
hoopskirt be banished forever. Is it
true that our fair feminines who now
look 50 neat and graceful, desire to
disfigure themselves by DOMINIC the
hideous hoops will render their ap-
pearance something like an inflated
balloon ready for ascension

The ANONYMOUS Letter Writer,

The mischief maker, the disseminator
and manufacturer of gossip, the
scandal-monger and the persons who
know every body's business, are about
on a par. out the anonymous letter
writer may justly be termed a hypocrlt-
ical back number. and is SO considered
by all respectable people. 1t is not so
much for ''sweet charity's sake" or
the ''good" of one party that he writes
these ''epistles of the devil'' as it is to
vent his spleen upon another source,
to carry point-it may be Tor some
past kindness or favor rendered. 1t
is about as impossible for some people
to confne themselves to the truth,
even when they knoO the truth, as 1t is
to bake bread on ice.

Vance County Superior Court.

Regular spring term Of Vance Supe-
rior Court convened Monday morning.
/ Hon. Geo. A. Shuford Judge presiding.
The grand jury was drawn and Walter
Bullock was elected foreman. His
Honor's charge was full and elaborate
occupying the space of about one hour
and three quarters in its delivery. He
touched upon the various crimes and
misdemeanors of which the grand jury
is to take cognizance and dwelt at
length upon some of the more lmpor-
tant points to which their attention
should be called and their investigation
directed. On the subject Of secret oath
bound political societies, the very COM
mon crime of perjury, selling liquor to
minors, the adulteration Of foods and
spirituous liquors, the formation and
existence of trusts and combinations,
dealing in futures, the selling and giving
away of cigarettes to boys under II
years of age, &C., Judge Shuford's re-
marks were particularly clear and
forcible and had to be heard to be ap-
preciated. Altogether his charge was
an able and clear cut exposition of the
various crimes and misdemeaners laid
down in the statute books, and the du
ties Of the grand jury were clearly and
forcibly defined. This is Judge Shu-
ford's first court in Vance and he has
made very favorable impression upon
members of the Bar, jurors, court Off
GERS and all who have observed his de-
meanor on the Bench. He is careful,
painstaking, courteous and considerate,
familiar with the authorities, quick to
grasp point of law and dispatches
business in aready and systematic way.
Hon. John E. Woodland, Solicitor, is
in his place and as usual represents
the State with dignity and ability,
prosecuting its cases in a vigorous and
intelligent manner without the SEM
blance Of harshness.
The criminal docket, not very large
any way, has been reduced somewhat
by the escape of the prisoners from jail
Friday night.
Next week some important civil
suits will be tried and interest in two
OF three Of these is very great.
There was no court yesterday it being
a legal holiday.

Make Only the Best.

Make what there is a profitable de-
mand for. Find this out; it is inter-
esting and profitable. Make what there
is most demand for, and if you make
tobacco make it above the average in
quality, in fact, the best of its kind,
and, big or little crops, it will pay the
producer. The florist cultivates by
hand and dollhouse tiny plant for
which he gets, separately handled and
cared for, from S to Is cents, and for
his choicer varieties more. The to-
bacco planter should do the same,
strive to bring every plant to perfec-
ton, for this is of tantamount and par
allel Importance to know, as a source
of profit if not in pride. 1t is really,
in one word, the intelligence first and
then the industry and judgment that
tell in the tobacco field and tobacco
barn. The mean, threadbare, over
cropping idea is a poorest excuse for
low prices.
The 1890 crop was nearly all wrap
pers, and big crop at that. favored
by nature in the field, and it paid the
planter even at a somewhat lower
basis for prices far better than if most
of the crop had been filters, and it cost
no more to raise it that year.
That which is scarcest sells highest,
that which is commonest sells lowest.
The common sorts are what everybody
is most apt to make-supply and de-
mand regulate the rest. There are
always enough buyers who want the
best to pay we'll for its exclusiveness.
It is so in everything in trade as we'll
as i'll talent and professions. Petit
foggers abound, but the big doctors
and lawyers command their own prices
always, however large.
Over production in tobacco practi-
cally relates, not to the two states OF
Virginia and North Carolina, but as to
what the world holds in stock-the
West and North and Europe. ETC., and
to what other countries make and want.

experienced some difficulty in speaking.
