HIGH COMPLIMENT LEE.

To come from a rabid Republican
sheet like the New York Nau and Err
press. (the late Col. Elliott F. >hep-
herds paper. the following tribute Ia
Consul-General Fitzhugh Lee is all
the more significant. We copy from
the Norfolk Tirginian. which says:
The New York Mail and Express is
one of the staunchest Republican
Journals in the country. and is eN-
tremely loyal to its party. Yet it is
not 50 conditioned that it cannot see
some good in those who are politically
opposed to it, and this fact has more
than once been demon strated in its
reference to Consul-General Lee.
In its issue of the 22nd it paws Gen
eral Lee the following compliment:
Each succeeding day brings some ad-
ditlOnal proof that Consul-Genpral Lee
Is exactly the right man in the right
place. The patience, courage, vigilance
and tireless industry with which this
high-minded patriot continues the diff
cult duty OF guarding American lives and
American interests in Havana in the
face OF conditions which are hourly be-
coming more perilous and complex, dis
tinguish him as fearless citizen worthy
of our Hottest ideals of heroism'
The people have learned to admire
the splendid character of General
Lee. and with one accord there is a
feeling among all parties that he has
filled the difficult and trying position
of Consul-General at Havana in a
manner such as to have been Il great
benefit to the country. AS to his pa
triotism and fidelity they are beyond
any sort of question.

Heeting of The Daughters of The Con-
federaCy.

| On the evening Of February the eigh-
teenth, Notwithstanding the inclem-
mency Of the weather. quite a goodly
company of the ladies and gentle
| men met at the residence of Mrs +.
G. Davis, the occasion being the ses-
sion of the Daughters of the Con-
| federacy.
At the usual hour Mrs Parker call
! ed the house to order. Mrs. f. G..
Davis, Sec, read the minutes of the
last meeting. Mrs. O. Shell, Treas
urer, reported the Chapter in good
condition financially. Mrs. j. H.
Parham, Corresponding Secretary,
also reported favorably.
| Two of the committee on ere
dentials, Mrs. Gilmer and Mrs.
Cooper, presented the names of Mrs.
f. Watkins and Miss Hufham for
membership and they were duly
| elected.
| Mrs. Parker stated the reception
of letter from Mrs. Parsley, State
president, asking the cooperation of
the different Chapters in raising
money to erect headstones over the
| graves of Southern soldiers who had
died in Northern prisons.
The literary features of the eve
ming were-a dialect poem ''Aunt
Phoebe's Remonstrancen charmingly
given by Miss Willie Parker. The
exquisite rendition of ''Rigoletto'' by
Miss Cheek, brought forth hearty
encore to which she graciously re-
sponded with 'sPride-Elect'' from
| SOusa
Mrs. Thad r. Manning read grace
fully selection from the Life of
Vance, which brought smile and a
| tear for our dead hero.
| Mr.. Wharton gave a vocal solo
which so enthused his audience that
he was compelled to respond and his
second rendition, comic song,
literally brought down the house.
Mr.. Jno. Horton read a humorous
incident of war times from the pen
of his gifted uncle, Capt. Sutphin.
This was followed by a most laugha-
bic description given by DR.. Cheat
ham of the war experience of a
certain Vance county man.
Mrs. C. M. Cooper read very in
teresting article regarding Belle
Boyd, the Confederate spy.
The music of Mrs. G. A. Lewis on the
piano accompanied by Mr.. Horton
with the mandolin added much to
the enjoyment of the evening and
the climax was reached when they
glided into the happy strains of Dixie.
| The facile pen of our historian,
Mrs. Maria Parham. contributed 6
touching and beautiful tribute to {
dead townsman and Confederate
soldier, Geo. Badger Harris.
Afterwards the hostess assisted
by Miss Lewis and Mr.. j. Davi:
served dainty refreshments.
| The next meeting will be at the
residence of Mrs. Parker, March the
eighteenth. l..

Our New Dress.

The GOLD LEAF has pleasure in
presenting itself this week in new
dress of type. This is a step we
have been contemplating for some
time, believing that nothing is too
good for our patrons.
The change makes the paper
more uniform in appearance the bulk
of the reading matter on both sides
being set in the same type, whereas
two sizes were formerly used.
We have discarded the larger size
altogether, thus enabling us to give
more reading matter, while the face
of the letter is about as large: and
giving clean, clear cut print is more
pleasant to the eye.
The GOLD LEAF has always prided
itself upon its clean and neat appear
ance and this reputation it purposes
to sustain, both as to::the character
Of its reading matter and the style in
which it is presented. And while the
paper as it now appears must prove
more satisfactory to readers its value
to advertisers is also greatly en-
HANGED.

and fired. The hawk received the

STATE GUARD.
How the State Troops Would be
Called Out in Case of War.

There has been some amusement at
the talk of certain companies tele-
graphing President Mckinley. offer
ing their services in case of war with
Spain, writes Col. Fred Odds in his
newspaper correspondence. Then he
goes on to show how the State Guard
would be called into service, as ex-
planned by an officer, who said:
''Suppose the President calls on
the Governor for say 5000 men. The
Governor would order the State
Guard on active duty. 1t is part of
the National Guard. the first reserve
OF the regular army. The Naval Re
serves would recruit in the same way.
Members who have served with the
colors, say for the past ten years,
would be called on to fill the ranks
and make at once each regiment Of
twelve companies, giving three bat
talions to each. This would give
$500 officers and men in the brigade.
The Naval Reserves would recruit in
the same way to 500 men. In say two
days, the thing would be done. Then
all that would be necessary would be
to rush in requisition for the
equipments and uniforms for say
5000 men. The 1900 now in the
Guard would, Of course, be available
for instant duty, in the State or out
of it. 1t is Il force always at the
command Of the Governor or the
President. 1t is armed, clothed and
equipped entirely by the United
States; in that respect not costing
the State cent. The value of such
a force. not perhaps apparent to the
mass of the people at ordinary times,
becomes doubly 50 now. The brigade
is now but skeleton, but with a
complete organization and equip
ment.H

states that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism. \
few nights ago she was in such pain that
she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Row
land for the doctor, but he had read OF
Chamberlain Pain Balm and instead OF
going for the physician he went to the
store and secured bottle OF it. His wife
did not approve OF Mr.. Rowland 3
purchase at first, but nevertheless ap-
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep She
now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or pain and finds that it always
gives relief He says that no medicine

good. The % and 80 cent sizes for sale

are not ordinarily free gifts and by a
great deal. The newspapers give a
good deal in return in the way OF
free notices and advertising. In the
matter of local matters the press
gives ten times more gratultou, adj

If the newspapers were paid at fair
rates for all the local notices OF en-

could afford ito pay a. they went
