The German.

The annual June german given by the
young men of Henderson complimentary
to the visiting young ladies. is always
looked forward to with great pleasure
by the dancing people, and the one held
in Burwel Hall last Thursday night was
no exception, and although not as large
as they usually are, it was one of the
most enjoyable ever given. The many
fair and beautiful young ladies in their
lovely costumes, and the gallant young
gentlemen in full dress suits made the
ball room a scene of bewitching lowell
ness. The beauty and grace of this and
the adjoining towns was well represent
ed. The leader Mr.. W. f. Massenburg,
accompanied by the lovely Miss Stith, of
Raleigh, performed his duties with grace
full skill, and it is needless to say the
figures were lovely and the affair admir-
ably managed. The music was furnished
by the DeFino Italian Orchestra, and
evoked the sweetest strains. Dancing
commenced promptly at 10 O'Clock, and
much to the sorrow of all, "FIOme, Sweet
Home was played at 900. Among
those present we note the following:
W. E. Massenburg with Miss Addie

Another Henderson Man in Luck.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Times, says:
Mr.. George NJ. Newell, OF the Hender-
son On. Co. Herald, is in luck. He arrived
here yesterday looking for a place under
the government, went to the Treasury
to see how that department was off for
photographers, found a vacancy, asked
for the place, was examined, found I'M
usually competent and in fifteen minutes
had the recommendation of the chief of
the division and was appointed.
Lest others might suppose that get
ting government position in Wash
ington is a much easier thing to do
than it is, the GOLD LEAF wishes to
comment little on the above. Mr..
Newell had been in Washington several
days seeking an appointment, and
among other places visited was the
Photographic department Of the Treas
ury, that being in his line Of profess
sion. He found a vacancy-or the need
of a man possessing his qualifications
as an ''all round photographer, and
what was equally as fortunate for him a
friend in the person Of the chief of that
division. Having made the object of
his visit known Mr.. Newell was
promptly put through thorough ex-
animation. He ''filled the bill'' and
was given to understand that he was
wanted. The usual procedure had to
be gone through with and Congress-
man Bum and Senator Ransom and
others interested themselves in his
case. Mr.. Logan Carlisle, the Secre-
tary's chief clerk. assured Mr.. Newell
that the matter should have his earliest
consideration, and to his surprise as
we'll as to his great qualification it was
favorably acted upon within very
short time.
Without meaning to discredit any
one, let it be understood that there
was vacancy to be filled at once:
that the applicant stood the required
examination and proved to be the man
that was wanted; that the chief of the
Photographic bureau recommended the
appointment of Mr.. Newell and he
found no trouble in procuring the nee
essary endorsements to make his g call
ing and election sure.'' The position
is that Of first assistant and the salary
is 81 600 year. But all Office seekers
are not skillful and experienced photo
graphic artists, and there are not
vacancies waiting to be filed in all the
departments. The GOLD LEAF con-
graduates Mr.. Newell upon his good
luck.

Hicks Discouraging Fore asst for
June

From the weather forecasts for June,
made by Rev. Irl Il. Hicks, of st.
Louis, Mo-, we extract the following:
From the 18th to the 2lst we may
expect about everything earthquakes,
electrical displays and storms Of more
or less severity.
These storms 60 east and are due on
their return trip about the 25th. About
the 25th we pass the turning point in
our trip around the sun, and start for
shorter days and longer nights. Storms
will accompany us on the journey.
Cooler weather succeeds these storms,
and regions short of water at this time
will have to contend with serious
drought.
Reactionary storms are due the Goth,
with full moon and the equinox of
Mercury on the same day. This will
cause hot wave to pass over us, re-
sulting in severe electrical storms and
heavy local rains. The month ends
with very cool weather, tapping over
into July.

Personally.

1t is to be regretted that Mrs. NJ.
Parham has resigned her position at
the Oxford Female Seminary. She
was in charge especially of the literary
work of the institution, and the splen-
did essays of Tuesday are sufficient
evidence Of her ability to train young
ladies in this department of educational
work.-Bibhcal Recorder.
The GOLD LEAF cheerfullv indorses
what is said above of it's talented
townswoman. Mrs. Parham is a cult
waited lady and an experienced teacher
and while we do not know what her
plans are for the future it is to be hoped
that her services will be required in
some field commensurate with her
recognized abilities. So valuable and
we'll trained teacher is needed in the
departments Of our schools.

Charles w. Branch.

Our readers will recall the case Of
young Charlie Branch, the pri inter-
who drank undiluted ammonia in Char
lotte more than year ago, the result
of cruel joke, and his sad experience
and pitiable condition since. The Char
lotte Observer says this Of him:
Mr.. Chas. w. Branch. the printer,
whose misfortune in swallowing large
dose of hartshorn last year, thereby
causing structure of the windpipe,
and whose life was several times dis
paired of, returned last night from At
lanta where he has been in the Grady
Hospital for eight months. He can
take nothing but liquids, and these
only through tube in his stomach.
The tube has stopper which he re-
moves when feeding time comes, and
pours in pint of soup, milk or what
ever fluid food he may care to take.
Charlie Branch is we'll known in
| Henderson. A letter from him says
his general health has improved, but
as the doctors could do nothing more
for him than has been done he left the
hospital, not having money to remain
there longer. The operation of insert
ing tube in his stomach was per-
formed some time ago, but he could
get no relief by means of an operation
Oh his throat which has grown up so
that he can not swallow even liquids.
We have seen photograph showing
the tube inserted in his stomach and
the manner Of taking nourishment by
this means and it is very sad and
melancholy picture indeed. He does
not say whether he is able to work OF
not, but the young men who perpe-
tratcd so cruel and heartless joke
upon him should take care of him the
balance of his life whether there is any
law to reach them and compel them to
pay damages to him or not.

The Hege Coffee Huller Tested in
New York With Satisfactory
Results.
NJ. G. A. Hege, Of the Salem Iron
works, is the inventor of a coffee
huller which has been successfully
tested in New York city. The Win
ston Sentinel says this of the new
machine:
Mr.. Hege has just returned and re-
ports the test as very satisfactory,
both to himself and the gentlemen who
witnessed it, among whom were the
proprietors Of one Of the largest coffee
hulling and cleaning establishments in
New York city, in whose establish
ment the test was made; also several
consuls from different coffee growing
countries. All these gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves much pleased with
the working of the machine, and espe-
cially the coffee it cleaned.
Mr.. Hege's machine was set along
side of what is acknowledged by all
coffee growers who are up with the
times, to be the best machine made.
The test was as fairly made as pos
sible on thirty bags of coffee. Both
machines were operated from the same
line Of shaftiny, taking coffee from the
same bin and as nearly as possible
under exactly same conditions, in order
to make the test perfectly fair. The
experts present pronounced the coffee
huled on the Hege huller to be:.cleanel
and more uniform in color than that of
its competitor, while the huller USED
in the contest was one-third smaller
aud run one-siXth slower, hulling FULL
as much coffee per hour. The Hege
huller being smaller and run at a lower
speed, naturally requires less power
than its competitor.

The Richmond & Danville Rail
road Among the List of Fast

The Charlotte Ncws says this of the
fast train service between that point
and Washington
To people who travel seldom and who
have paid but little attention to the
matter, realization OF the progress in
raiirOading done by the Richmond &
Danviile lately, will be quite surprising.
The service of that road has now at
tanned a point that year ago would
have been hOoted at 1t has not been
long ago that people thought it good
time to reach Washing ton from Char
lotte in 30 hours. The Richmond K Dan
Vile has two trains, the yestibule and
the fast mail, that take you there in II
hours. The fast mail which leaves here
at 300 a. m, lands You in Washington
at 80 p. m, making but thirteen stops
between the two places. There are 81
stations between Charlotte and Wash
ington. You can leave Washington on
this fast mail at ITO a. m, at Greens
boro pass the train that left Washing
ton at a. m, and reach here at 1910
D. M. one hour ahead of the s O'Clock
train. Besides the vestibule and fast
mail, there are two other daily passen-
ger trains between Charlotte and Wash

sue I see a good deal about Islander and
gossip. | have never known but very
few cases of Islander. If | understand
the word it is q malicious lie. | have
never heard of but few such cases. If a
person is guilty of a crime, it is in my
opinion no Islander for one to talk about
it, though generally it'll best to let such
news alone In my Judgment it is best
not to walk in suspicious paths. | have
never known any smoke where there was
no fire, neither does it rain without q
cloud. One never hears much Islander or
gossip about people whose character
and conduct are above suspicion.
A CITIZEN OF HENDERSON.
Just so. There is difference of course
between gossip and SANDER. If person
raises smoke by walking in paths cloud
ed with suspicion, he may expect to re-
ceive the attention of the gossips, what
ever his motives, and has no right to
censure that class when he makes himself
liable to be talked about by them, how
ever unbecoming and detestable is the
practice. But to willfully and maliciously
charge one with an act OF which he or
she is innocent, and circulate it for the
purpose of injury, is what we call SLAM
der. This is sometimes done to vent
spleen for personal motives, and of which
the public is ignorant. No one but q
coward, though his ways had not been
in "the path of rectitude and good con-
duct would cry SANDER, as soon as he
found himself gossiped about, whether
guilty or innocent.

Take Your Cigars With You.
Sensible people going to the Worlds
Fair will take their supply of cigars
along before entering the grounds. Good
cigars are no doubt sold inside but where
to get them and at what price-well
these questions are useless if YOU will
have your pockets well filled, like a sensi-
b" man, before entering the gatP.-Win-

1t is we'll enough for Il smoker going to
Chicago or travelling anywhere to take d
supply OF good cigars along-for the
sake OF patrOnizing home enterprises if
nothing else-but he will have little use
for them in the Worlds Fair grounds.
No smoking is allowed in the buildings,
and unless one is tired and worn out
sight seeing and wants to smoke dread
fully bad he does not linger about on
the open spaces outside long enough to
smoke cigar. We do not remember
having seen but two men among all the
many thousands present with lighted
cigars in their mouths inside the enclosure
during our stay there. The fact is men
seem to forget all about it and have no
desire to smoke where there is so much
to otherwise occupy their thoughts and
attention as the Worlds Fair presents.

Y, M. G.. A. Notes.

The reception at the Y. NJ. &. A.
on Friday night last was a complete
success, and though the day and night
were rainy, nearly one hundred and
seventy-five persons were present. A
pleasant program had been arranged
by the ladies, including the italian
band, which added novelty to the oc-
casion, singing by Mrs. S. P. Allen
and Miss Jennie Shaw, accompanied
by the harp, recitation by Miss Tucker
Massenburg and reading by the general
secretary. all of which was heartily
received. After the entertainment light
refreshments were served and an en-
joyable evening until eleven O'Clock
was passed. Never were the people
more sociable, and there was an abb
sence Of s'wall fowers,n each seeming
intent on making the affair agreeably
pleasant.
Mr.. L. A. Coulter, the State Secre-
tary, and Mr.. Rooster, the new secre-
tary, both made brief addresses and
from the applause which followed, it
was evident the people were we'll
pleased and favorably impressed
There are now ten of the leading
magazines ON the reading room table,
and fifty-three papers and periodicals
upon the new files which are greatly
admired.
With new screens and water sprink-
Ter the place presents cool, attractive
appearance.
Mr.. Coulter spoke earnestly to the
young men last Sunday. 1t was the
impression that he was more than his
usual self. On Monday night he again
spoke to a few young gentlemen in the
room on delegated personal work. AT
the close of the meeting "Soul Win
ner's League" was organized which it
is hoped will do good along the line of
personal effort in winning men one by
one to Christ and the church.
Rev. F. NJ. Johnson, the earnest
and consecrated young pastor of
the Methodist Protestant church, will
| deliver the address next Sunday at
$3.50. There will undoubtedly be a
large audience to hear this popular
young man.
The work now gives every promise
of success and the new secretary is
hopeful of adding three beautiful new
baths for the use of members, which
will attract larger number to the
rooms Of the association.
