SMALL manufacturing enterprises are
what we need in Henderson.

News comes of another important
industrial enterprise to be added to
the list of similar ones already es-
tablished in this State. The Neus
and Observer states than a company
of capitalists, including the Messrs.
Odell, the well-known North Carolina
cotton manufacturers, are preparing to
erect large cotton mill at Lockville,
Wake county. The property purchased
by the company includes the water
power at Lockville, which is estimated
at something like 5000 horse, power, a
portion Of which is ready for use, also
the widely known Lockville river
and Gorgan dams together witt, 1850
acres OF the surrounding land, with
the Touring mills and village of Lock
vile. This is valuable property for
the purposes in view and the GOLD
LEAF is glad to know that it will be
developed. Thus the industrial growth
of the Old North State goes on.

A PRESS dispatch from Little Rock,
Arkansas, dated Feb. Srd, says: "Gov.
Fishback has issued a circular letter to
the Governors of all the Southern
States asking them to join in conven-
ton in Richmond, Va, April 2, for
the purpose Of formulating plan for
developing the resources of the South
and offering inducements to capital
and labor" Such a motion should
meet with a hearty second from the
Governors and people generally
throughout the South. This IS great
country but it needs developing.

HOW TO GROW TOBACCO.

Writing on this subject Maj. r. L.
Ragland, of Hyco, Va, the we'll
known authority on tobacco culture,
says:
Having put the land in nice "order"
lay off the rows with a shovel plough,
three feet three inches apart, and fol-
low drilling along the furrow, good
fertilizer at the rate of some two hun
bred and fifty to four hundred pounds
per acre, according to the natural
strength of the soil and the quantity of
manure previously applied; then fol-
low with onehorse turning plows, lap
ping for burrows on the fertilized
trench, and when finished in this man
ner your lot is ready to be planted
when the beds have been "patted'
with hoes, with s'pats'' two feet ten
inches apart to make points for setting
the plants. In the older portions Of
the fine yellow Tobacco country the
applications are becoming heavier
from year to year, some planters using
as much as six hundred pounds to the
acre.
New ground, or old field that has
grown up and been cut down, will
require different preparation from the
old smooth land But on the former
our best brights are raised. Any
preparation that will put the soil in
fine condition, clear of roots tufts and
trash, is all that IS required. Expert
ence teaches that if land is cut down
two or three years previous to its being
prepared for Tobacco, it greatly
facilitates the preparation and helps its
fertility. Much of the vegetable
material, both in and upon the soil
rots, the roots break easily and the
soil is altogether lighter and finer.

ONE does not always know what he
misses by failing to perform kind
and benevolent act whenever oppor-
tunity presents itself, to say nothing
of the satisfaction experienced as its
own reward for having done a good
deed. 1t is related that some time
ago an old man fell by the roadside
near kensington, England. Several
persons witnessed the fall, and ali,
except one young woman, concluded
that he was drunk, and therefore I'M
worthy of attention. The young
woman, whose name is Birch, went to
his aid and saw him safely home. A
few weeks ago the old man died, and
in his will he bequeathed to Miss
Birch $4,000.

The st. Louis Repu6Hf asserts that
the brains of the Republican party
were buried in the head of James Gill
lespie Blaine And this opinion IS
shared by others. And this leads us to
say that Mr.. Blaine, now that he IS
dead, is either being much ove--ra,ed,
or, during his life, his merits were not
appreciated as they should have been,
especially by his own party, whose
ablest exponent he unques,ionably
was.

that is good. But Mrs. Davis would

A SURPRISINGLY beautiful and tender
thought was that expressed by Blaine
on the death of Garfield. He said
"Let us think that his dying eyes read
a mystic meaning, which only the rapt
and parting soul my know. Let US
believe that, in the silence Of the
receding world, he heard the great
waves breaking on farther shore and
felt the breath of the eternal morning."
And now that Mr. Blaine himself has
crossed over the river and solved the
mysterious problem Of death, let US
hope that he too has experienced the
same thing he SO beautifully said of
another.

READ this and then attend the

Saturday in the interest of good roads.
Our people need to do something
along this line. There is no more
important question to consider nor
one in which the farmers especially
are more directly interested than that
Of better public highways. The Eden
ton Fisherman and Farmer says:
The farmer pays his tax on roads in
the winter by being compelled to haul
his loads at far greater cost than if
the roads were in good condition. The
winter teaches, from the book of ex-
perience, the advantage of good roads,
and during the next road making
period of the year every farmer should
take personal interest in seeing that
the roads in his neighborhood are in
the best possible condition for travel
and transportation.

Facts Which Point to Desire to

The inquest on the body of Mariana

Several witnesses were examined, but
very little evidence was brought out be-

The former testified that Miss Day asked
him to telephone to Kelly to send the
whisky and peppermint about p. NJ, and
Kelly testified that it was about II A. NJ.
There was another curious feature
brought out. The bellbny testified that it
was about quarter to p. NJ. when Miss

JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Strong Protest Against
Judge Lynch.
Southern Outrages Are Denounced
at Spirited Mass meeting of
CoIored Citizens.

The African Methodist Episcopal Church
on Stockton street. near Sacramento, was
fairly well filled last night a. the mass
meeting which had been called by the
AfrO-Amercan League to protest again ST
the lawless lynchngs of cOlored men in
the South. Max Pepper was one of those
who occupied seats up in the pulpit, and
John O'Byrne was one of the orators of
the occasion.
''The object of this meeting" announced
President I. B. Morton, sis TO raise funds
to assist Mrs. Blount of Tennessee and
Mrs. Miller of Illinois to defray the ex-
penses of suits brought in the United
States courts against the men who lynched
and burned their innocent huS bands. The
AfrO-A American League therefore appeals
TO the liberiy-loving people of America to
grant hearing and join them in the de-
nunciatioD of Judge Lynch's methods"
Dudley Sebree Of Louisville, KY, was
introduced, after prayer. as the first
speaker, and that rather fiery gentleman
elaborated upon the bafbarous treatment
to which the colored citizen of the South
is subjected by his white neighbors. The
colored man was DISTINGUISHED and trial
by jury was denied. He was followed by
Augustus Collins, who Informed the audi
ence that the contributions toward the
League turning over its funds which were
left, amounting to little over S13, 10 :he
AfrO-American League. Mr. O'Byrne was
the next speaker. and drew an effective
analogy between the struggle for Irish
freedom in the United Kingdom and the
battle for human rights and equality
which has been and is still being fought
on this continent.
An appeal 10 President Cleveland and
the members of the California delegation
in Congress was read by +. w. Jackson,
when MI. OByrne concluded. II enumer-
ated the Outrages, lynchings, burnings and
shoOtings in the South in detail, and
voiced strong sentiment in favor of equal
rights and justice for all. of whatever
color or race.
George Denis Jr. was the next speaker
introduced. The meeting concluded with
number of subscriptions and contribu-
tons toward the purpose for which 1t had
come together.

Walker. 'Whe is W. D. EdwaIdsP By
what authority does he draw gu us?"
Next day Walker answered as follows
Edwards was here as your agent and
bought that amount from us. Is he
not in your employ?" To this telegraphic
reply was made that Edwards had not
been in their service since 1888.
Since then two drafts drawn by the same
Edwards have been received by Goodall,
Perkins 81 Co. from Providence, Rhode
Island. the total amount to date being
about $50.
Edwards some years ago was freight
clerk for the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany on the northern route and purser on
the San Diego line. He is remembered as
an ordinarily goodsemplo and left the
service five years ago with a clean record.
The last heard of him he was steamboat
ing on Puget Sound.
The inference is that Edwards has been
making a tour of the Atlantic seaboard,
telling the same story at every place and
getting money and merchandise as he did
at Montreal. He knows enough of Good
all, Perksns & Co.'s business to tell a
plausible tale and has had time enough to
do lot of swindling. More drafts are ex-
pected with each mail.
