COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ELECTED.
Old Board Reelected With Two Adj
diti0nal Members-Good Men all of
Them Who Will Discharge Their
Duties Well and Faithfully.

The Justices of the Peace did good
days work Monday. Before the meet
ing Of the full Board of Justices the
Democratic members held caucus
and made nominations. The first
action was to endorse the old Board
OF County Commissioners, James
Amos. chairman, John A Fleming
and Patrick A. Bobbitt. and nominate
them for reelection. Having done
this it was decided to elect two adj
ditional members and balloting re-
suited in the selection OF Hayden w.
Crews and Henry I. Shanks 1t
would be difficult to have the county
better represented geographically,
and as to the personnel of the Board
that would be hard to improve upon.
They are all good men who will dis
charge their duties we'll and faith
fully.
Capt. j. NJ. b. Hunt was chairman
OF the caucus meeting and r. }. Cor
bett secretary.
The action Of the Board Of Justices,
sitting as a committee of the whole
short while later, was merely a rati-
tication of what the caucus had done.
Popu!ists and Republicans took little
or no part in the matter, but few of
them voting. Several Populists said
to us that while they favored the old
Board they we're opposed to the ad
ditlonal members, therefore they
could not vote on the motion as it
was put. However, finding themselves
in minority and not desiring to
create friction they offered no opposi-
ton. The Democrats had only done
what they would have done under
like circumstances, elected their own
men. 1t was a very harmonious
meeting throughout and the work was
soon over with.
w. A. Hunt was elected chairman,
X. w. Edwards, Register of Deeds and
Clerk to the Board, being secretary by
virtue of his office

VISIT TO COUNTY HOME.
Something About the Inmates and
Things as They Were Found Upon
Personal INSPECTION.

In company with DR.. Goode Cheat
ham, County Health Officer, the
editor visited the County Home Sun
day morning. We went out early be-
fore visitors were expected. and vet
we did not find things in q bad sani-
tary condition. True the houses are
not kept like hospital wards nor are
they as inviting as the average private
residence. But considering the class
to be dealt with, the condition of
some Of the inmates, it would be
difficult to have them so.
DIR. Cheatham explained to US the
nature of some of the cases, the char
acter of which it is not necessary to
60 into details about, and concerning
which 1T seems most complaint had
been made. But as the situation ap-
peared to US, considering things as
we found them, we could readily I'M
derstand and appreciate what has to
be contended with and the difficulty
OF keeping the persons and premises
OF these subjects as cleanl Y and odor
less as the others.
The Health Officer makes it a point
to visit the Home about twice a week.
in case of sickness he goes oftener.
One of the County missioners at
least is there every week, frequently
two or all three. And once month
they make it point to 90 out in a
body. These visits are made unex-
Pectedly to the superintendent and
it cannot be said that he makes any
special preparation for the reception
OF his official guests
There are II inmates of the Home,
5 white and colored. OF this num-
Der 2 are white women and are
colored women. They are kindly
treated and as well cared for as the
paupers Of any county we suppose.
That is the testimony of Health Of
ficers and superintendent of similar
institutions and othersqualified to ex
press an intelligent opinion who have
visited the place. The food is the
same as that of the superintendent
family and is prepared under the per-
sonal supervision of Mrs. Moss her

Tax Levy Reduced.

That the affairs of Vance county
have been we'll and economically
managed the reduction of the tax levy
for 1900 abundantly shows. In the
joint meeting of the Board of Justices
and the Board of County Commits
sioners Monday Chairman Amos
stated the condition of the county's
affairs and said a levy of 60 cents on
the 800 worth of property would
yield sufficient revenue for all neces-
sary purposes, together with that
derived from other sources, poll, pur-
chase, privilege taxes, etc. The Com
missioners therefore recommended
that the levy be reduced from GO to
60 cents, which was done.
Could better evidence that our
county matters have been run well
and Systematically. carefully and
economically be asked for? All honor
and praise to the gentlemen to whose
business tact and Judgment, good
tinanciering and administrative abil-
ity this condition of things is due.

FAMOUS FAST FLYERS.

board Air Line Railway.

Fast flyers, already destined to be-

through train service of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway over its own tracks
from Richmond to Jacksonville and
Tampa.
The new schedule was inaugurated
SUNDAY when the first train Of what
is known as the FLORIDA Limited"
between New York and jacksonville,
passed through. The new trains are
marvels of comfort and elegance.
The cars are painted dark olive
with gilt trimmings, and are of the
full box vestibule style. A smoking
room is at one end and toilet room
at the other. The seats are high-back.
handsomely upholstered and very
comfortable. They are lighted with
Pintsch gas, and are fitted with every
convenience requisite to comfort and
pleasure in travelling. The sleepers

He Has Another Cow Boy Now.

We have heard of many ways of
stealing but Mr.. James H. Lassiter.
Jr., tells us of case that caps the
climax. For some time his COW,
which is grazed about town by a
small negro boy, has varied in her
milk. Some times she would give as
much as usual and at other times
almost none. A few days ago he
learned the cause. The boy was seen
to take the COW by his mothers house
as he was bringing her in. While
there she was MIXED about half dry
and as a result the supply OF the
tactical fluid came up short at Mr..
Lassiter's that night.
He got after the boy about it. told
him what he knew and threatened
him with corporal punishment but
the diminutive son of Ham pleaded
pitifullv and promised not to be
guilty of the same trick again. And
he won't as far as Mr.. Lassiter's COW
is concerned. Another boy now walks
at the other end of his COW chain.

NOMINATED FOR SENATE.
J. E. Burroughs Chosen to Represent
the Eleventh Senatorial District
Composed of Warren and Vance.

The Warren-Vance senatorial con-
vention was held in the court house
here Saturday. Warren sent no dele
cation but it was understood that she
would endorse the action of Vance
the right to name a candidate being
conceded to us. Still, it would have
pleased us better if our friends across
the border had manifested a little
more interest in the matter. 1t is
all right for them to endorse our man
land thew will do it at the polls) but
we wanted them to come up and help
us "holler" for him after we'd named
him.
Mr.. j. +. Burroughs, Of Dabney,
was nominated. A good man for
whom every good man should have
pleasure in voting. Mr.. Burroughs
represented Granville county in the
Legislature of 1880, when the immor
tai Vance was elected United States
Senator, and one of the proudest acts
of his life is the vote he cast for that
greatly beloved son of Carolina. He
was a Magistrate for IS years and
has also served as County Commits
sioner. At the age of Is he volun-
teered as private in the Confederate
army going out with Capt. Samuel j..
Parham's company from Henderson,
which was assigned to duty in the
54th Regiment. After short service
Mr.. Burroughs received an honorable
discharge on account of the poor state
| of his health.
Mr.. Burroughs people came from
Warren county and he has a number
of relatives in that county. He is a
man of good judgment, of liberal
| views, cautious and conservative and
in the discharge of every public duty
he has been actuated by singular
desire to serve the public good.

A DASTARDLY DEED.
Mr.. John Bullock Second Time the
Victim of the lncendiary's Torch.

Readers of the GOLD LEAF will re-
call that some weeks ago the resi-
dence Of Mr. John Bullock, Of Bullock.
Granville county, was burned. The
occupants of the house escaped in
their sleeping garments, some mem
bers of the family barely getting out
with their lives. Nothing was saved.
not even the clothing that was worn
the day before. That the burning
was Of incendiary origin there were
unmistakable evidences, but no clue
could be found.
Mr.. Bullock fitted up his carriage
house for living purposes temporarily
and he had been sleeping there since,
his family staying elsewhere in the
neighborhood. Last Thursday night
an attempt was made to burn this
and it was evidently the purpose of
the scoundrel or scoundrels to burn
Mr.. Bullock up in it, BY means of a
ladder kerosene oil was poured on
the top and sides of the house, the
door was fastened from the outside
by placing stout plank against it
the other end resting on the ground,
and then it was set fire to.
The heat and cracking Of the flames
caused Mr.. Bullock to awake. He I'M
locked the door and tried to open it
but found it fastened on the outside.
