Let's Have the Cattle Show.

Several friends in the country are in
hearty accord with the GOLD LEAF $
suggestion to have a cattle show.
Speaking to us on the subject Satur-
day Irving Green said he was in for 1t
and might be counted on as an exhibitor.
Gus Edwards said he had a COW he
was not ashamed of and she would be
here if the thing was gotten up.
Uncle Alley" Ball manifested an
interest in the matter-and he has
something worth showing too, or he has
gone back on his old time record for
fine milk and butter cows.
And There are others who second
the motion-both in the country and
in town. Then why not have il: Who
will take the lead in the matter?
In this connection the GOLD LEAF
has another suggestion to make: Let
us get up big picnic here about the
middle Of August. complimentary to
the old soldiers, inasmuch as their
proposed trip to Nashville to attend
the Confederate reunion last month
fell through. Invite people IN town
and country to cooperate in making II
a grand success and an enjoyable Occa
: ION to the old veterans.
And let US have the cattle show a.
! the same time.
Do We hear second to this motion

Monday was the day for electing the
County Supervisor Of Schools, said
election being held by joint meeting
Of the Board of County Commissioners,
Clerk of the Superior Court, Register
of Deeds, and County Board Of Educa-
ton. There were two candidates, A.
+. Fuller, who has held the position
heretofore, and A. NJ. Mates; the
latter was elected.
There has been severe criticism at
the selection made and the eligibility
of the new Supervisor has been Iues-
toned. The law defines an eligible
person to be one who shall be pvacti-
cal school teacher at the time. or who
has had at least one years experience
in teaching, a man Of liberal educa-
ton and good moral character. etc.
With view to informing ourself
and the public as to the claims and
qualifications of Mr. Mates we have
ascertaned from him the following
facts, substantiated by papers in his
possessions:
He taught school in Greenbrier
county, West Va, from 1875 to 1873,
holding first grade teacher certificates.
Has taught since then but not later
than 80 or 81. He spent two years
at William and Mary College, and
was orator of his class in 1879. Also
went to Randolph Macon for two
years; read law awhile and could have
obtained license to practice but abOu
that time went into other business.
Mr.. Mates came to Henderson from
Hampton, Va, between two and three
years ago. He is employed by the
Singer Manufacturing Company as
district agent, and as sober, indus
trious and intelligent man he stand.
well with his employers.
AS we have it his is a case of where
the office sought the man, as he had DC
| idea of beng a candidate until thu
matter was suggested to him with the
understanding that he could get it,.
Mr.. Mates is Republican in poll
tics, Mr.. Fuller, whom he defeated
being Popuiist.

The Appropriation Cut.

The annual appropriation Of $3.50
which has heretofore been given the
Vance Guards. was cut in half by the
County Commissi oners last Monday.
This action we take it was in the
interest Of retrenchment. as we do not
know what other motive there could
have been.
In the practice of pure economics
the Board Of County Commissioner
and ali others in authority for that
matter-will find no warmer friend Or
more loyal supporter than the GOLD
LEAF; but we respectfully submit that
in this case we believe the Board made
a mistake in applying the pruning
knife Of retrencnment in its public
expenditures.
The local military company Is not a
mere ornament 10 the town OF county.
1t had for its creation and existence Il
higher purpose than holiday parades
and plc-niclng frolics. 1t is one Of the
strong arms of the law-an ever
present help in time of need. And as
such it ought to be encouraged and
supported rather than crippled and
impaired in any way.
1t should not be necessary to recall
the services of the Vance Guards in
protecting the two negro murderers
confined in jail here at the time there
was fear Of lynching them; or the fact
that their presence on that occasion
probably averted still more serious
trouble and one that was believed to
be more threatening. Who knows
when it may be necessary to call the
company out for similar duty:
And yet no bill Of cost was ever
rendered against the county, the officers
and men not being without appreciation
feeling that they had already received
compensation in the appropriation
voted them.
Nor do we believe the tar payers Of
the county had any objection to the
regular amount being given the
company as heretofore.

SEEK RECIPROCITY.
West Indian Colonies Want an As
siunmenf Made.

London, Nov. 4.-The British ambas-
sador TO the United States. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has been instructed TO as
certain the views of the government of
the United States in regard TO n reel
procity treaty with the West Indies.
Washington. Nov. Alt has been
known here for some time that the
West Indian possessions OF Great Brit
ain were urging the home government
90 secure them all the reciprocity adj
vantages possible under the Dingley act
Instructions have been issued to Sir
Julian Pauncefote in response to these
appeals. The British colonies which
secured reciprocity treaties under the
Mckinley law were; Barbados, Guiana,
Jamaica. Leeward islands, Trinidad
and Windward islands. The treaties
were negotiated between Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Mr.. Blaine on Febru-
airy 1, 1892, and President Harrison put
them into effect the same day by proc
lamation. No reciprocity treaties were
made for the British possessions of the
Bahamas, Bermuda or British Hon
duras, as il was found that there were
no articles on which reciprocal ex-
change could be made. The aggregate
trade Of these British colonies Is very
great, exceeding that OF some of the
first-class nations. When the last
treaties were made the exports OF the
colonies were S33,OoO,00O annually ami
the imports about the same. The main
shipments to the United States were:
Sugar, Ss,730,o00; fruits, SO, 700, 900; cof-
fee, SSH 900; cocoa, 100000; drugs and
chemicals, Ss5s,Oo0. The shipments
from the United States 10 the colonies
were mainly breaistuffs, provisions,
manufactures OF iron, steel and wood
and cotton.
1t is learned az the state department.
that Sir Julian Pauncefote himself has
not yet communicated with the depart
ment respecting the drawing Of a new
set OF reciprocity treaties between the
United States and the British West In
dian possessions, but unofficial advices
TO the effect that he comes charged
with such n mission have been received
from London
