RETURNING from Morganton last

us to meet Col. John D. Cameron,
late of the Asheville Citizen, and
known throughout the length and
breadth of North Carolina as one of
the ablest, best equipped and most
graceful and felicitous writers con-

Cameron has been sick long time
and is yet quite feeble. He was on
his way to Hillsboro, his home of
former days, to visit relatives. The
last notable work of Col. Cameron's S
we'll stored mind and ready pen was
the Hand Book Of North Carolina,
published under the auspices Of the
Agricultural Department and circulated
extensively at the Worlds Fair and
elsewhere throughout the country to
the lasting good of his loved State.
The prayer of his friends everywhere
is that he may be restored to health
and vigor again and be spared many
more years Of usefulness and profit to
the people Of his beloved Carolina
whom he has served SO long and we'll.

ALL METAL VS.. WOOD-BASE CUTS

ALL METAL VS.. WOOD-BASE CUTS
The Press Association at its meeting
last week adopted resolution, offered
by Mr.. ]. L. Ramsey, of the Pro-
syeSsi0e Farmer, requesting adverts-
ing agents and all general advertisers,
to discard the use of wood base cuts
and to adopt in their stead solid metal
or sliding electrotypes, the object
being to do away with the trouble met
with in every printing office arising
from the swelling and warping of wood
cuts, thereby rendering an even,
smooth impression of the advertisement
more difficult, and consequently the
service to the advertiser less effective
and satisfactory. This we think a
good suggestion and one we are glad
to see is already being adopted by most
of the big advertising concerns of the
country they readily recognizing that
it is to their interest not only to put
their advertisement in as attractive
form as possible, SO far as display of
the matter is concerned, but that it
pays them to have it in such condition as
the publisher may be able to present it
to his readers in a clean and readable
manner as we'll.
While there are a number of devices
that admirably serve the purpose OF
solid electrotype, and greatly lessen
the cost where frequent changes are
to be made, one of the most unique,
practical and satisfactory things of the
kind we have seen is Wade's Per
iection' Base and Plate, which has
been adopted by the Dr. Miles Medical
Co. of Elkhart, Indiana. Its advantages
over old methods are at once apparent,
and it must be seen to be appreciated.
This new invention must prove boon to
both publisher and advertiser and the
GOLD LEAF hopes to see its valuespeedily
recognized and its use largely adopted
by other general advertisers.
