CAPT. SHAW FOR CONGRESS.
Vance Has a Strong and Formidable
Candidate

At the coming Democratic Cong
sional convention Vance county will
present the name of her distinguished
citizen Captain w. B. Shaw. And
the GOLD LEAF does not believe a
better selection could be made.
Capt. Shaw is strong man at every
point. He has the fitness and ability
TO begin with. As a campaigner he
is vigorous, logical, convincing-a
pleasing and impressive speaker. He
is clean man-honest, upright, con-
scientious-a Christian gentleman.
Capt Shaw is not a candidate il
the sense that he seeks the nOmlna-
ton. In fact, he is for another man
but that ''other man (also an
honorcd and distinguished citizen Of
Vance positively declines to permit
his name to 90 before the convention
saying he could not accept the NOM
ination were it rendered him. But
loyal to the best interests Of his
State, his party and his friends, Capt.
Shaw would make the fight if the
standard should be placed in his
hands.
That Capt. Shaw can be elected
there is every reason to believe. He
can carry a larger vote than the
strength Of his party-and it is num-
bcrs that count in an election.

ADVICE TO THE NEGROES.

The conservative and disposition
ate editor Of the Biblical Recorder
says:
The people of North Carolina had
better give the negroes once for all to
understand that, though politicians
may cater to them for their votes,
the negro race must keep to its place
both for the good Of the race and the
welfare of the State. When the
Anglo-SaNon becomes inferior to the
African. then We may consider the
necessity Of putting negroes on
boards under which are both white
and colored children. Meanwhile
the sensible negro, the unselfish
negro. will recognize that it is bet
ter. infinitely better, for him and his
children to have white boards and
white committees to look after their
welfare. but the demagogue, both
white and black. will continue to ha-
rangue the negroes about their
'.rights' and .'recognition,H seeking,
of course, an office. not for a moment
caring. never having dreamed of
caring. either for the State or for he
negro race.

FORGOT TO GIVE CREDIT?

IL the GOLD LEAF of September lst
there appeared an editorial article
about the failure Of some newspapers
to give proper credit for matter
taken from their exchanges. The
article in question was an extract
from the Charlotte NcOs with some
comments of our own. But the COM
bined efforts of Brother Dowd and
oursclf failed Of the desired effect in
at least one case. In the same issue
was an article on parents and teach
ers, being a two-stick paragraph from
Edward Bok's writing in the Ladics'
Home Journai, upon which we COM
mented somewhat at length. We
thought the article timely, but did
not regard it as particularly praise
worthy, but it appears to have pos
sessed sufficient merit to secure for
it a place in one of our exchanges as
an original editorial, loaded through
out, run second column next to head
rule. 1t may have been unintentional
that it appeared thus. However, if
our pencil-products have the effect of
making said paper more brilliant
hcactItght in the long train of sheets
that would profit by the labor of
others, we'll let it 90 at that

THE HENDERSON THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 1898
SEABOARD AIR LINES FIGHT.
The Bridge Across the Roanoke the
Great Peace Factor.

Norfolk. Va. September G.-The
Seaboard Air Line will probably have
to lock horns with its big rivals who
are seeking to obtain control of it, at
the annual meeting next month.
The first shot was fired by Thomas
Ryan. the New York capitalist, who
claims to hold the controlling interest.
when he endeavored to force an eN-
animation Of the books.
The next move has ust been made
by the Atlantic Coast Line, which
bears very close relations to the
Southern system. The Coast Line
has hitherto been held in check and
kept out OF the fight because the Sea-
board owned the bridge and APP
proaches used by the Coast Line in
crossing Roanoke river. 1t is now
announced that with the avowed pur-
pose of ending this dependence upon
its rival, the Coast Line will build its
own bridge over the Roanoke.
The Seaboard is practically the
only independent road in the South.
and the fight for its possession will
be q warm one.

RENOUNCES REPUBLICANISM.
Believes That White rlen Should Rule
North Carolina.
(Raleigh Post.)

Newport, n. c., Sept. 12.-I wish
through your excellent paper to re-
nounce my connection with the Re-
publican party. My reasons for do
ing so are that l believe that white
men should rule North Carolina, and
| was convinced at the last Republic
can State Convention. which | am
sorry to say attended as a delegate,
that the Republican party is COM
posed chiefly of negroes and the
trend of this party is to place the
negro more and more over the white
race. And now I pledge myself to
vote and use all my influence for the
success of the white mans party.

CHOKED OFF BY THE PRESS.

For the benefit of our Northern
friends who are still writing of the
terrible fraud of ..mineraline" adul-
iteration of flour by a concern at
Greensboro, we will state that the
"mineraline' concern named never
did put its project into operation,
and that the enterprise was i'm
med,ately abandoned. Not pound
of "mineraline" adulterated flour
ever left the State or ever was con-
sumed in the State. 1t may be we'll
to call the attention of our contem-
porarics to the fact that the man.
ufacture of butterine. wooden nut
megs and painted coffee still merrily
proceeds in the Northern States.
Charlotte NeaUs
Two wrongs do not make a right,
and the manufacture of bogus butter,
wooden nutmegs and the like by
rascals at the North is no justifica-
ton of the fraud attempted to be
practiced upon the public by a dis
honest concern here in North Caro-
lima. Indeed, this was the meanest
fraud of all because more in furious to
health.
Think of giving us terra Gotta
Innings to our stomachs of powdered
tale, soapstone and kaolin taken in
the form of adulteration for flour.
Could anything have been more dis
honest or meaner in theory or prac-
tice9 And this is what was offered.
and if it be true that not a pound of
the ''mineraline" product has been
sold and that the enterprise has been
abandoned. as claimed by the enter
prising protector. it was due entirely
to the timely exposure of the infamous
scheme by the press. and not to any
sudden change of mind due to re-
alization of the enormitv of such
offense against the laws of health and
morals if not the statute laws
For proof of this see Greensb oro
Erening Telegram of last Friday.
The lame and impotent defense of the
writer zone York, who is the head of
the concern) plainly establishes this
fact He does not see ANYTHING
wrong in such a business simply be-
cause there is no statute law against
it, and as soon as the present ex-
posture dies out the '.mineraline''
plant may be expected to start up.
But its circulars will not be scattered
around quite so boldly or promiscu-
ouslv next .ime.

THE CLARk-kILGO MATTER.

The Burlington Necs in comment
ing on the Clark-kilgo controversitv,
concludes by saying this:
Whatever one may think Of the
merits of either side. it seems GER
tain that the tendency will be to i'm
pair the usefulness of the college.
and it may be to njure the influence
for good of the very strong denomi-
nation to which it belongs. In this
view it is to be specially regretted
by everybody. In such controversies
people will take sides, and the effects
will be far reaching.
DR.. kilgo is a man of mental ac-
tivity. and not always prudent in his
utterances. That his power for good
as president of Trinity College or as
a preacher. has been much damaged,
his best friend will hardly deny.
We take ii that the matter is not
a closed incident. We regard it as
unfortunate for the church, for the
college and for the State That the
Doctor has said things at various
places on various occasions not pleas
ing to many of his hearers. and
highly imprudent. is too we'll es-
tablished by too many witnesses to
