Letter From Brinkleyville.

DDITOR GOLD LEAF:-There was
plea ant meeting of the people of Brinkley-
Vile on August 18th, and all heartily
Joined in Thanksgiving dinner in the
shape of a glorious old Brunswick stew,
which is so aptly fitted to the bracing
up of the inner man, and there are none
that know better how to prepare and
flavor them than the good people OF
Brinkleyville.
Just before dinner was announced there
were loud calls for DR.. q. E. Matthews,
who responded with a short and highly
entertaining speech. His eloquence can
flavor a speech with as much spice as q
Brinkleyville stew. Calls were also made
for W. C. Finch, Esq, who made a pleas
ing talk on the same subiect-that OF
training the young minds.
In the afternoon We we're entertained
by game OF base ball, umpired by the
competent and impartial ROdger Patter-
son, Esq, and played by the Brinkleyville
and Draper clubs. The score was Brink
lesville 16, Draper IL. Only two innings
were played, the game being broken up
by thunder cloud.
On Sunday, August 18th, had the
pleasure of witnessing the childrens day
exercises at Bethesda NJ. P. church.
The church was densely packed. l was
not able to ascertain the amount col
lected but think good sum was realized.
Crops are good through this section.
Berry Hervey, an old and highly res
pected colored man, died at White Oak
Sunday evening at six O'Clock.

HON. WALTER X. HENRY.

1t is still fresh in the minds of all
the people Of North Carolina, and it
will be matter of history for years to
come, that Hon. w. R. Henry was one
of the strongest and most fearless ones
who led the attack against our
political enemies during the last cam
paign. From the mountains to the
seashore; from one side of the State to
the other in almost every county
within her borders, did he raise his
voice in most marked and death-dea
ing arraignrnent Of the Republican
party. No man ever made more
vigorous canvass in North Carolina
than did Mr.. Henry during the cam
paigh of 1892. He was among the
first campaigners OF the South, and
his powerful portrayal of the tariff
iniquities that have so long burdened
the people of the South, did as much
towards defeating the Republican party
in North Corolna as any one influence
that wrought in our favor.
Mr.. Henry's praises were on every
ones lips wherever he spoke, and more
deserved praise was never heaped upon
a son of Moth Carolina. When the
great Democratic victory was an
nounced over the wires and through
the papers, the voice OF the Democratic
party in North Carolina was as the
voice of one man, saying Mr.. Henry
deserved one of the best appointments
to be given to North Carolina, and all
thought he would be among the first
to receive recognition from the Ad-
ministration.
Long, weary months have passed
away, others who deserved we'll of the
party, but not whit more than Mr..
Henry have received good appoint
ments and Mr.. Henry's claims seem
still unrecognized. Is this fair? The
Democrat makes no complaint, neither
does Mr.. Henry make complaint as
we have heard but is it not time that
his claims were being recognized and
a good appointment given him? The
party cannot afford to ignore great
and powerful and effective party
service.
Mr.. Henry made as many as a
dozen speeches in this Congressional
district, if we mistake not and Senator
Ransom and Congressman Woodland
and others are mindful of the fact
that his work here was Herculean for
Democracy. Can not these gentlemen
do something to push Mr.. Henry's
| claims before the administration and
secure his appointment without longer
delayP
The Democrat believes that the
Democratic party of North Carolina,
would regard it as a great favor if
| Senator Ransom and Congressman
Woodland would see to it that Mr..
Henry receives his appointment at
once.-Scotland Neck Democrat.

The croakers are doing more to
keep up hard times than all the other
causes combined. Excepting that
money is hard to get hold of, we are
in as good shape now as we were last
year this time. There is just as much
money in the country as there was
several weeks ago, but so much of it is
being senselessly boarded that the
circulation is greatly restricted. This
is one of the most serious results of the
scare engendered by the failure of a
number of National and private banks.
1t destroyed confidence and made
people afraid of losing their money if
entrusted to banks or saving institu-
tons. If people would only stop
croaking about " the hard times" pay
their small bills and do the best they
can, things would come around all
right in little while.-Wilmington
(Delaware) Star.

and queries, and the Secretary of the

ton, which he did in his easy, able
and eloquent style. This was report
from committee appointed to attend
the last legislature to try and procure
an appropriation for the establishment
of Chair of Pharmacy at the Univer
sity. The report showed that the
committee with the assistance of DR.
Winston and others had failed to
procure the appropriation for this
much-needed chair at that institution.
The committee was continued with
instruction to push the matter until the
said chair was established.
The "Question Box was opened
and found to contain quite number
of questions which elected quite an
interesting and profitable discussion.

papers.

Cleveland is clear, concise and con-
vincing in his mastery message to
Congress a child can comprehend
and no statesman improve on it. DR..
Cleveland sees his patient bleeding to
death from main artery, the
country's gold flowing out and COL
lapses at home, he applies cautery
to the main artery first, and the lesser
ills, however small or great, must be
treated afterwards. The silver sluice
must be stopped. The United States
can't control the world, but must CO.
operate or compromise to create con-
fidence and commerce. Cleveland
bosses his business and takes the re-
sponsibility. He diagnosed we'll
before debating the document for
approval. The reins are safe in his
hands.-Richmond 2obacfonist.

IN these hard times it is gratifying
to see how we'll the papers of the State
are holding their own. Some of them
may be pinched, but none of them
squeal. The people can't get along
without the papers and the editors in
this State, seem to appreciate it, for
the tighter the times get the better the
papers they give. The North Carolina
press can hold its own in all respects
with that of any Southern State

President Cleveland evidently does
not contemplate that Congress shall
repeal the Sherman law and stop with
that, for in his concluding paragraph
he recommends, in addition to this,
"other legislative action" which will
"put beyond all doubt or mistake the
intention of the government to fill its
pecuniary obligation in money univer-
sally recognized by all civilize d
countries This sentence might, in
its latter clauses, be construed as a
declaration in favor Of gold mono
metallism, but the context would
forbid this construction even if Mr..
Cleveland were not already on record
as an endorser of his party's platform,
which declares in favor of bimetallism.

IT may appear little singular that
the richest man in Siam is foreigner
and a native of North Carolina, but
the papers tell us such is fact. That
man is DR.. M. A. Cheek, of Orange

be the wealthiest and most enterprising
man in that little far off Asiatic
kingdom. He is lumber king, runs

its fourth volume under the ownership
and editorial conduct of James T..
Griffin. 1t is what its name implies
in the fullest sense of the word, always
having decided opinions and not
afraid to express them. While its
editor is independent, bold and
aggressive he is at the same time fair
and impartial and feeds all out of the
same spoon. In taking retrospective
view of his editorial stewardship since
linking his fortunes with those of the
Free Lance and the people of Marion,
Mr.. Griffin says:
In the fonr years past it has been
our earnest desire to treat all alike
without the false distinction of society
and to treat the poorest man in
existence with the same even handed
justice we would deal with rich man.
We will never "bend the pregnant
hinges of the knee that thrift may
follow fawning." x 1t has
been our duty to say things that other
people, some of them our friends, have
taken offence at, which we regretted,
but it was a question of principle not
friends-and how could any one
hesitate? We have tried to do our
duty without fear or favor, and we
leave the public to say how far we
have succeeded. We have tried to
give the news impartially and without
any coloring. We have never know
ingly printed line but the truth.

TIE Dayton, Ohio, Workman and
Farmer, (labor organ takes a calm
and dispassionatc view Of the situation
when it says:
We would advise the calamity
howlers' of the &. o. p. to take it easy,
as the country is not going to the
dogs just yet. This country is too
large to be smashed by one Congress
or by one Presidential term. We are
to-day reaping the financial disaster
sown by the Republican party, and
now they are crying that it is all
because the Democrats are in power.
Wait until CONGRESS gets down to
work.
THE New York 21ibune, the paper
of which the defeated Republican
candidate for the vice presidency,
Whitelaw Reid, is editor, says this of
President Cleveland's message:
1.-The President deserves high honor
for this message, SO free from every
suggestion of trimming and compro-
mise at q time when the air is full of
bartering schemes, and so earnest and
strong in its appeal to the good sense
of men of all parties to stop the dread
of vicious action on the money QueS-
ton. X Without distinction
of party, men who care for the public
welfare will sustain him whenever he
is 50 clearly in the right"

We are pleased to see that the ad-
dress of Governor Carr on the re-
sources and advantages of North Care
lima, prepared in accordance with the
action of che Southern Governors at
their meeting in Richmond, has been
given to the press. 1t is being pub
liShcd serially in the Raleigh Observer
and Of course will find its way into
other papers throughout the State.
Owing TO the delay in the publication
of the addresses of the Governors, the
address of Gov. Carr was withdrawn
from publication in the compilation
of these documents. 1t has been
decided that the address will be
published shortly in pamphlet form,
embelished with handsome eugravings.
Gov. Carr in this paper has ably set
forth the advantages of the State to
the health-seeker, the home seeker
and the investor and has con densed
into remarkably small space great
deal of information.

written by President Cleveland, is
brief, and will please Rothschild and
associates in France and England
immensely. Few men can write
better English than Mr.. Cleveland.
No man can say more in few words

more damaging to eight-tenths of our

BETTER TINES AHEAD.

A writer in the Wilmington DEL
alvarez Star, takes this rain tinted
view of the financial situation-present
and iuture-and the stimulating effects
of President Cleveland's message:
The message Of President Cleveland,
which was sent to Congress, last Tues
day, received the most unqualified en-
dorsement from the press of this coun-
try, without regard to party considera-
tons. Stalwart Republican organs as
we'll as the Democratic and independ-
ent papers, endorsed its utterances and
approved of the measure of relief so
pertinently pointed out by the Presi-
dent. "Repeal the Sherman Law"
and the entire country, with the ex
ception of the rabid silver states,-
those miserable pocket-boroughs that
were admitted to statehood for the
sole purpose Of perpetuating the power
of the Republican party-echoes the
words, "Repeal the Sherman Law"
This extravagant piece of Republican
legislation has cost the country dearly,
but even the prospect of its repeal, in
accordance with the recommendation
OF President Cleveland, is bringing
relief. The number of business fall
ures daily grows less. Gold is CON-
ing back to this country, and the
government gold reserve, which was
dangerously entrenched upon during
the administration of President Harri
son, is now safely above the hundred
million mark. The people are re-
gaining confluence, and as they are
daily releasing their grip. on their
money, which they entirely withheld
from circulation for awhile, money is
getting easier and industrial establish
ments are resuming or preparing to 60
ahead. OF course, the reaction is
slow work, but it is coming along.
The events of the past month, in their
entirety, make a bitter cost that the
people were compelled to pay for the
utter Encouragement of the Harrison
administration.
But better times are coming. Conf
dence is being restored, the country
has faith in President Cleveland, and
under his wise leadership, financial
reform and tariff reform will soon be
accomplished, and then the affairs of
this great country will move along
evenly and more prosperously than
ever before.
