lives were snuffed out just before
dawn this morning on the pave
ment between 150th street and
Riverside drive The victims were
a married man thirty-eight years
of age and young woman of six

The man evidently shot the girl,
the fatal bullet entering the left
breast and penetrating her heart
He then turned the revolver upon
h mself aud fell shot through the
h art
The man, John Lindauer. was a
cigar maker and married man.
He fell in love with the girl, Miss
Ingalls,. who reciprocated the affec-
tiou and they eloped about two
weeks ago Nothing more was
heard from them until this morn
ing when their bodies were found
by the police.
The girl evidently died willingly
as her hand still clutched her
clothing where she had barred her
breast for the bullet.

PLANTATION LIFE IN THE SOUTH

We learn that the book which Rev.
james Battle Avirett has been pre-
pairing is now ready for the press,
and its speedy publication may be eX-
pected.
Its title is ..Plantation Life in the
South Before the War" and as Mr..
Avirctt was bred on a large planta-
tion and is gentleman of culture
and possesses high literary accom-
plishments, he is admirably qualified
to write on the subject.
The publication of such book as
he doubtless has prepared will give
great satisfaction at the Sou tn, while
we believe that many persons at the
North also will be glad of the oppor-
tunity of seeing the details of ''Plan-
tation Life" as they really were.
Our plantation system was a pecul-
lar institution, having no similitude
in any other country.
Mr.. Avirett was we'll acquainted
with it in any aspect, and his delinea-
ton Of the subject will be at once
instructive and entertaining. Raleigh

ONE EDITORS EXPERIENCE.

1t may not be unusual that news
papers work is appreciated, but it is
rare thing an editor has cause to
realize il as he is almost certain to
do when he fails to please somebody.
He NAV do the right thing as he sees
it nine hundred and ninty-nine times
and vet never know whether his course
is approved or not: but let him do
the wrong thing as somebody else
sees it the one thousandth time and
he will be apt to hear about it. And
when it comes to voting resolutions
Of thanks to him the thing is so very
remarkable that its occurrence is con-
sidercd worthy Of special comment.
The recent experience Of this editor
is a case in point. The Grcenville Re
fector says;
It seems to have been an old say
ing or old idea that the work of an
editoris never appreciated, and that
he is entitled to no particular credit
for whatever effort he makes toward
building up his community or
awakening a spirit of enterprise
among his people. There has just
been a case where an editors eN-
periencc was so different from this
that it is worthy of mention. The
town of Henderson has perfected
plans to establish graded school,
and the school will soon open. The
credit OF securing it was due mainly
to the efforts of Thad Manning,
editor of the GOLD LEAF, for in sea
son and out OF season he put forth
every energy and effort in behalf OF
the movement. AS soon as the
trustees of the school were chosen,
realizing the benefit of what Mr..
Manning had done, they adopted
fitting resolutions of thanks and ap-
probation Of his services. Hender-
son is to be congratulated upon secur-
ing the graded school.

PULLMAN TRAINS FOR S AL.
Four Luxurious Vestibule Trains for
Through Traffic.

1t leaked out yesterday that the
Sea board Air Line Railroad syndicate
of which Mr. John Shelton Williams
is president, has given out the con-
tract for the building of four solid
Pullman vestibuled trains. They
will be equipped in luxurious style,
and according to the most modern
ideas. The contract calls for the
delivery of the trains by January J.,
1900
The Pullmans composing these su-
through between New York and Jack
sonville, and will supplement the ser
vice now maintained by the Sea-
board Company.
From New York these trains will
proceed South over the Pennsylvania
Railroad as far as Quantico, where
thev will take the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac tracks and
come on to Richmond. From here
the route will be over the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina 70 Ridge
way, where they will take the Sea-
boards main line to Cheraw, 5. c.,
thence proceeding over the line now
building to Columbia. The trains
will 90 into jacksonville from Colum-
bia over the Florida Central and
Peninsula. 1t is understood that an
arrangement may be effected where
by the trains will proceed from Jack
sonville to Tampa over the Plant
system.
The link from Chcraw to Columbia,
now under construction, vii be fin
ished by January 1st.
These magnificent trains are built
to accommodate tourist travel during Q
the winter months from the North to
| the Southern resorts. They will Oper-
ate on schedule that will be main
| tanned during the winter months
There will be one train each way
daily.
The addition of these four Pullman
vestibule trains places the Seaboard
Air Line on an equal footing with
the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line
as competitors for the tourist pat
ronage, which is constantly increas'
ing Richmond Times.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.
The Reform in Whiskey and Cigars
Seems to be Exciting Interest.

There is slowly but surely senti-
ment growing against the cigarette
that will one of these days outlaw
the little nail. The most assuring
thing in this line that has recently
come to our notice is this statement
or rather appeal, from superinten
dent Of schools. Mebane, of North
Carolina. In recent address he
says:
What strong drink is doing for
the men from twenty to fifty years
of age, the same, to a wonderful ex-
tent, the cigarette and tobacco are
doing for the boys from twelve tc
twenty years of age.
The time has come for teachers
to cry aloud and spare not. | care
not if our school fund is increased
some from liquor license. The more's
the pity. | care not if tobacco men
give their thousands to colleges and
educational institutions. This ought
not, and will not, shut the mouth of
any true teacher against these evils
Yea, what shall it profit us if oul
public school funds are increased and
our colleges are handsomely endowed
il our boys and girls are to be ruined
LET our teachers and county
superintendent, too. be living eN-
amples of total abstinence from the
use of all narcotics and alcoholic
drinks. | like to see preacher
practice what he breaches, and also
like to see a teacher live the life he
sets up as model for his pupils as
nearly as possible.
The very idea of a superintendent
OF schools or teacher taking a drink
on sly. or putting a filthy pipe OF
smoking cigarette. Away with
such conduct on the part of teachers. =
This in 4 State where the cigarette
factories have headquarters and
where the millionaire managers of
them are endowing colleges is pretty
straight talk-but it is to the point.
all right. -Danville Bee.

We All Know HIM.

The Elizabeth City Economist of
last week says this of gentleman
well known here as he is elsewhere
all over Eastern North Carolina:
''Dr. George | Nowitzky, of Norfolk,
Va, was in town this week and made
us an interesting and instructive
call. He is identified with North
Carolina, though living in Virginia,
and no man is better known to our
people. DR.. Nowitzky is one Of the
most remarkable men in our ac-
quaintance. Born in foreign land
and trained to manhood in a different
vernacular yet he is thoroughly
American of the North Carolina type
He is fine speaker, a cultured elo-
cutionist, speaks and writes pure
Elglish as if native and to the man
ner born. and in wit and repartee he
would pass for born Irishman. II
a plethora of vitality be token of
longevity, then DR.. Nowitzkv can
plant to reap fruit after a hundred

THE JEWELED SWORD.
Presented to Admiral Dewey as the
elimination Of His Triumph -Ova-
ton to SchIev.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The culmina-
ton of Admiral Dewey's triumphal
homecoming was reached to-day in
the shadow of the dome of the
national capitol. Here he received
from the hand of the President the
magnificent ieweled sword voted him
by congress in commemoration of the
victory OF Manila Bay. This was the
official provocation for the ceremony.
But mere official sanction could
never have thrown into the demon
stration the ferver of enthusiasm
that was meted out to the great
Admiral as be appeared before the
vast audience that was composed not
only of all the highest officials in the
land, but of spectators drawn from
every quarter of the United States.
| One OF the most remarkable fea-
lures Of the eventful day was the
ovation to Rear Admiral Schley on
the return Of the party from the
capitol TO the white house. His car
! riage was several numbers behind
that Of the President and Admiral
Dewey, and he received an ovation
| that could scarcely be ranked below

Died.

On the night of the 23rd of Sept,
1899, after intense suffering for nearly
two days and nights, my old horse,
"Monkey."
He was a good horse, his age know not
If the oldest inhabitant ever knew, he
has forgot.
But old as he was, he is a great loss to
me;
He died from eating too much vine of the
cOrnfield pea.
Few horses of his age had the go up he
had,
OF his qualities most were good, some
were bad.
He most always wanted to start
Before | could get into the cart
But he had gotten over that, in a very
great measure
And was my greatest precuniary
treasure.
In form, he was chunky,
In spirit very spunky:
Place to the ashes OF faithful old
"Monkey."
