Big Thing of Its Kind.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway
authorities recently purchased a lot
of land near Brookston upon which
there is an immense deposit of gran
lite of superior quality, their object
being to put up mammoth rock
crusher to crush rock for ballasting
purposes. The deal was made through
Mr. j. l.. Currin, the well known real
estate agent of Henderson.
The work of grading a track from
the main line out to the quarry site, a
distance of about one mile and a half,
was begun last week. They have a
large force of men and 50 mules at
work and things are being pushed
right along.
The crusher will have capacity of
100 car loads day and competent
engineers say there is rock enough to
keep it running at that rate for 100
wears.

Knows a Good Thing When He Sees 1t.

In handing us $40 to renew his
subscription to the GOLD LEAF Mr..
Robert Bum. the we'll known con-
tractor and builder, was asked by
gentleman present if he could not do
him the same way. "Yes,' said Mr..
Bum, ''if YOU will give me as good
value in return" And then he added
that he considered the $50 paid for
the GOLD LEAF the best investment
he could make. Thanking him for
the compliment thus passed we sug-
gested that possibly there was one
other, and reminding him that as one
of the soliciting committee for the
Graded School we found his name
among the list of those we had the
honor of calling upon, we produced
our subscription paper.
Il didn't have the Graded School in
mind at the time" remarked Mr..
Bum, .but I'm not taking back any
thing that I've said" And as show
ing what he thinks of the Graded
School he doubled the amount Of his
subscription last year-and was a
very short time about it, too.

OPENING OF THE GRADED SCHOOL.
Let All the Pupils Enter Promptly at
Beginning of the Session if Posi-.

The trustees have ordered that the
Henderson Graded School open on
Monday. September 10th.
1t is important that all pupils at
tend from the beginning, so that they
may keep even pace with the grades.
Lost time can never be fully made up
aud results are often disastrous TO the
progress and promotion of the pupils.
Numbers of pupils failed to be pro-
noted this year for lack of necessary
advancement caused by absence from
school.
Nearly all pupils who were regular
N attendance have been promoted.
Some failed on examination and can
not be promoted. Some pupils from
unavoidable causes did not stand the
final examinations in May. An OPP
portunity for making up these ex-
aminations will be given before the
opening of school.
The Superintendent will be in the
office at the school building on We'd
nesday and Thursday mornings (of
this week. to issue promotion cards.
Entrance examinations will be held

CAPTAIN SMITHS RESIGNATION.
His Removal to Durham Made This
Course Necessary.

AT the meeting of the Board OF
Town Commissioners Monday after
noon Capt. Charles j. Smith resigned
as a member from the Third Ward.
Capt. Smith was elected in May by
very hattering vote without opposi-
ton. His resignation is due to the
fact that he has moved to Durham,
having accepted position with the
American Tobacco Company at that
place. He feels very grateful to the
voters of the Third Ward and thanks
them profoundly for their confidence
and regard as expressed at the polls.
He regrets that circumstances are
such he can not serve longer in the
honorable position to which his
friends had called him, and in taking
his leave he carries with him the
most kindly feelings for his associates
on the Board, the people of the Third
Ward and the town and community
