The gold leaf., 1900-09-06

Her Ol idSl year W uOlu Il meeting mere
to take action in protest OF the proposed
amendment, etc. An
,stimable negro of this city told me at |
that time that il was the purpose OF |
White and Others of his ilk to raise /
merry CAIN at that time, but that Par
son King was finally prevailed on to call |
the meeting off, because the more con- |
servative darkies realized that such steps |
as those proposed would injure the ne
grces, in every way, more than anything |
that could be devised
1t will be Interesting to see what posi- |
ton those negro leaders" will take now.
and whether or not they will invite
White to deliver a speech along the line
he had intended one year ago. It's dol
lars to doughnuts, however, that White
will not even be in attendance.
COTTON MILL STRIKERS OF DURHAM DEs-
TTTUTE.
Many OF the striking cotton mill opera
tives of Durham are in destitute condi-
ton, and an appeal has been made to the
citizens of that city to aid them in pro-
curing the necessaries OF life, although it
has been only two or three weeks since
they quit work at the Erwin mill. The
''organizers'' of the union (whose work
caused the trouble) and the visiting
'labor leaders" whose advice they took,
now have fine opportunity to be OF
some real service to these unfortunate
people, But they have all ''moved on
to some other town. The strike was ILL
advised and no preparatiOnfOr thefuture
by the strikers, hence their distressing
condition. 1t is to be hoped that they
and Mr.. Erwin (whOm even the strikers
say was always kind to them) and the
operatives will yet get together and set
tie their differences and the men return to
work at their old places.
Manager Erwin has since announced
that no one shall suffer for the want OF
the necessities of life in West Durham,
whether they are ''strikers'' and union
operatives or not. and that he will re-
lieve every case brought to his attention
He goes farther and requests that all
such be made known to him in order that
he may send provisions, etc, to the homes
of the sufferers. This humane action and
the fact that the strikers are still Oc-
cupying the houses owned by the Erwin
mill speaks loudly in Mr.. Erwin's favor.
MINOR MENTION.
The election OF Rev. T. n. Ivey, of the
Raleigh Christian Advocate, as president
OF the North Carolina Press Association,
at the meeting at Asheville last week,
was a most admirable selection. DR..
Ivey is one of the most erudite and forcible
writer's on the State press to-day, and a
most charming gentleman. withal.
The writer has for years been laboring
in season and out OF season, and using
every opportunity and avenue at his
command, to secure State RefOrmatOry
for young criminals in North Carolina.

cotton mill men will get the best of the
Northern commission men who have
been ''doing' them heretofore in dispos-
ing of all Southern yarns to consumers
and jobbers. Our folks will establish
houses in the North and sell direct Good!

Mr. Bryan's chances are growing
brighter daily, and many former Repub-
leans are announcing that they will sup
port him. In this State ex-senator
Sharpe, of Iredell, is among the latest Of
the new converts Of prominence. OF
course he will carry North Carolina; there
is not and has never been any good rea-
| son for believing there was even a doubt
| of this. LLEWXAM.
DOES 1T PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
| that will relieve and cure the more severe
and dangerous results of throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go to a
warmer and more regular climate3 Yes,
if possible; if not possible for you, then in
either case take the ONLY remedy that
has been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat and
lung troubles, "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and stimulates
the tissues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays Inflammation, causes easy ex-
pectoration, gives good nights rest,
and cures the patient. Try ONE bottle.
