A Valuable Invention.

Several months ago the GOLD LEAF
made mention of new invention in
which our former townsman Mr.. Geo.
S. Prichard, now of Goldsboro, is in
terested. The following item from a
Goldsboro correspondent will be read
with interest here:
Mr. Geo S. Prichard who owns an in
terest in the Jas. W. Taylor Bag String
ing Machine, is at home from an extended
trip to Baltimore, where he went to per-
feet arrangements for the manufacture
of their machine. To appreciate this
machine you have only to see it work.
1t is far ahead of any bag stringiDg ma
chine before the American public. and its
owners have every reason to be proud OF
the invention

LEAF and Public Ledger newspapers
have done much to bring these propi-
tious results to the two communities
in which they are respectively pub
lished. The truth is, the newspapers
do a vast deal of good work of this
sort for which they may get but little
recognition or thanks. They do their
duty, and that is reward enough

To Wash Table Linens.

Do any darning or mending that is
necessary before washing. If stained
with fruit, wine Or coffee. pour boil
ing water through the linen where
stained: this should be done before
washing. Soak over night in clear
water; then boil the linens and rub
we'll in hot water. If a little Gold
Dust Washing Powder is dissolved in
the water in which the cloths are
boiled, only little soap will be
needed, and the linens will be beauti-
fully clear and white. Lift out of the
boiler with stick, and dip in tub
of cold water. Rinse well. and ring
tightly; dip in tub of cold water to
which bluing has been added. Starch

II. McGurrin. official circuit court
stenographer Of Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan Mr.. McGurrin has adopted the
Neutrality-suspicious. typewriter. and
now has three Of that company's late
model machines for use in his official
work
Commenting on this fact at the
time the Grand Rapids Democrat said:
The fact that Mr.. McGurrin is the pres
ent holder of the worlds championship
record in typewriting-212 words per
minute-and adopting a new machine,
makes the event OF unusual interest to
the thousands OF operators throughout
the country. Being interviewed on the
subject Mr. Mctiurrin said:
II have always operated Remington
Standard until the present time l have
noted the advent OF every new machine
on the market for the past II years and
have examined the most prominent OF
them, but until the appearance OF the late
model Of the Remng ton-Sholes machine
| have never found one, to my mind,
worthy ofserious consideration as n rival
of the Remington | have not been like
mauy operators, desiring to try every
new machine making its appearance, re-
commanding it at first and condemning
it after trial. 1t would be absurd in
me to say that the Remington-Sholes is
a superior machine in every respect to
the Rimington Standard. | do not be-
lieve it is possible to construct a writing
machine which would have that distinc-
ton do say, however, and unhestat-
ingly, that the Neutrality-suspicious. posses
SOS points of advantage over the Rem
ington Standard which every expert OPP
orator will readily admit, among which
are the matter of ease and light running
qualities, the securely fastened light car
rage, perfect alignment, with steady
noiseless operation, so important especi-
ally in dictation work.

THE LATE COL, JOHN HARGROVE.
A Deserved Tribute from a Long Time
Friend.

DIR. Kingsbury, in the Wilmington
Messenger, thus refers to the death of
Col. John Hargrove which was noted
in the GOLD LEAF last week:
This very worthy and admirable gen.
tIeman died at his home in Vance county
On Tuesday last nearly 50 years OF age.
This writer has had the pleasure OF know
ing him personally for 40 or so years.
teemed him for his many admirable
qualities. When we first saw him he was
about twetty-four, We suppose, and was
canvassing Granville as one OF the nomi-
nees of the Wings for the house OF com
mons. He was the handsomest man in
that then large and wealthy county He
spoke we'll and vas elected although the
two parties were SO equally divided, that
it rarely happened that either party
could elect its own ticket Colonel Har-
grove was gentleman of wealth, and
was the largest landed proprietor in
Vance county, which a few years ago was
sliced from old historic Granville. He
had beautiful home in the ''Nutbush
section,' the choicest portion of the
county. Colonel Hargrove was a fine
specimen of the cold time gentleman
hospitabIe dignified, urblne, intelligent,
upright, scrupulously honest and honor
able, courageous, patriotic and true al
ways to his principles. He was a member
OF the Episcopal church, and we feel sure
he was ready for the departure to the
higher and blessed life beyond. He was
a man to honor and contide in always.
He was married twice. His first wife was
the most beautiful woman in Granville
in her day. Miss Charlotte Estes. by his
last wife he leaves four daughters and
son. A State with such citizens as John
Hargrove is blessed indeed, and when
they go hence it is bereayed.

Title of a Sumptuous Volume Just

by railroad, is sumptuous volume
just issued by the Southern Railway
Company, entitled The Empire of
The South As an exhibit of type
composition, printing. and illustrat-

descriptive of the interests of the
South in its entirety. Mention is
scarcely made of the Southern Rail-

the most effective advertisement for
the company that could be issued.
The title conveys an impression OF
its general character, but nothing
short of a thorough reading demon
strates how carefully the author, Mr..
Frank Presbrey, has gone into every
interest of this section, commercial,
industrial, and educational. The
book is superbly illustrated octave
