THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF-THURsDAY. MARCH %, 1901.
WHO ARE COMMUNITY BulLDERs7

1t is often remarked. why does not
Mister Blank, with all his money. do
something for the building up of this
city?
And yet the person asking the ques-
ton, although no banker or capitalist,
might have the same query put to
him.
And what his reply would be is no
hard matter to guess, for it would be
that il was the duty of those who had
so much money 10 put it where it
should benefit the community, and
not for the moderately well-to-do ciii-
zen to put his money into enterprises.
while the rich men held their money
back.
But this matter is really personal
| one.
1t is not the question Of any citizen
to measure and perform his obliga-
tions by the rule of another.
Every citizen has personal obliga-
tions due and necessary to perform
to his community, and in the fulfill
ment of these can be reckoned the
standard of his citizenship.
One of the most important obliga-
| tions, and one which does not involve
the payment Of cent, but one which
very many citizens fall short in, is
that to believe in and speak well of
your city.
1t seems strange that any person
will talk down or bslittle any prop
srty which he may own. And yet
| every citizen who has no favorable
word for his community, is doing in
jury to it, and to every social, reli gious
| and commercial interest with which
he may be connected in that commun-
ity.
The citizen who puts his thousands
OF dollars into local enterprise, be
it building or manufactures, can have
his investments made practically
worthless, unless his fellow citizens
shall speak the encouraging word,
which shall bring tenants for the
buildings, or demand for the manu-
featured goods.
The Importance of this strong word
of approval, at home and abroad, is
too lightly appreciated. 1t is \
power for the promotion and success
OF local enterprises, and without it
the best local enterprise. can go by
default.
Both the citizen who build. and
the citizen who contributes of his
optimism, are builders Of communi-
ties.
The success of one is made securely
so by the other. 1t is the combine
ton of the goods of one citizen, en-
dorsed and advertised by another,
which makes an immediate market
for them. and it is thi. combination,
backed by the citizen who glories in
seeing the building, and proclaims
publicly, sincerely and heartily, his
endorsement of the work, which as
sures the development and perma-
hence of community.-New Bern

OLD AND RESPECTED CITIZEN DEAD.
II. Rowland Passes Peacefully Away
at His Home in Henderson,.

Mr. George II. Rowland. whose crit
umns last week, died at twenty
minutes after four O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. Although somewhat feeble
liz consequence OF his advanced age
rather than to any deep seated organic
trouble, he had been in his usual
health up to about two weeks previous
when he received partial stroke Of
paralysis. From the effects Of this he
never recovered.
Mr.. Rowland was one Of Henderson's
Oldest and most highly respected citi-
zens. He was born in this Chen
Granville) county Nov. 18th, 1918,
and was therefore in his S3rd year.
He was married July 23rd, 1910, to
Miss Katherine Cheatham, who sur
wives him, their married life covering
period Of nearly 81 years. Fourteen
children were born to them, five OF
them now living. These are Mrs
j. r. Clack, Mrs. j. H. Malone and
Mr. Walter w. Rowland, of Hender-
son; Mr.. Oliver l.. Rowland, of Warren
county; and Mr.. Charles G. Rowland,
of Sumter, S. G.
Throughout his active life Mr..
Rowland was accounted a most useful
been a farmer, merchant and mill
owner, and was always deeply
interested in and identified with
the welfare of the community. At
one time Mr.. Rowland was Mayor
OF Henderson. He was for many
years a Justice of the Peace and his
official conduct, like his private life,
was marked by a high sense of honor
and right and justice. He was man
of strong common sense and rugged
honesty. His rectitude of character,
kindly disposition and sterling quail
tiles of manhood won for him the con-
tidence and respect of all who knew
him. Mr.. Rowland was a member of
the Methodist Episcopal church for a
great many years. He loved his
church and his Saviour and his home
in early life was regular stopping
place for all the Methodist preachers
who rode this circuit. His hospitality
was proverbial and in this and other
ways quietly and without ostentation
he did a great deal for the Masters
cause.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at 1870 Monday morning. 1t
was appointed for 10 o'clock at the
church but the heavy rain storm in
terfered. The service was conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Nj. II. futile,
assisted by Rev. W. B. Constable and
Rev. A. r. Shaw. There was a large
attendance and the services were very
impressive. Interment at the Gene
terry.

Remarkable Cures of Rheumatism.

The editor of the Vindicator has had
occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable
results in each case. First, with rheuma-
tism in the shoulder from which he suffered
excruciating pain for ten days, which was
relieved with two applications of Pain
Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and real
izing instant benefit and entire relief ia
very short time Second, in rheumatism
in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with
severe pain, which was relieved by two
applications, rubbing with the liniment on
retiring at night, and getting up free from
pain. For sale at Melville Dorsey's drug

Encourage the Children.

The following article from the Ger
manton PA independent Gazette is
cordially commended to the careful
consideration of parents, teachers and
grown persons generally:
In the present age it is utterly i'm
possible to fathom the extent to
which we can improve our mental
and physical abilities. Instances on
record show that birth or origin no.
wise alter our mental powers. 1t has
been said that peasant and prince are
endowed with faculties alike on enter
ing the battle of life. 1t is obvious,
however, that the surroundings of a
prince tend to bring forth his mental
powers to higher degree than those
of the peasant. Place the son of an
educated man at school with the son
of an uneducated one, for example,
and watch their progress. Aside from
exceptional cases the former will adj
vance the more rapidly.
Why9
The answer is simple. The one
goes to home, no matter how plain,
where his efforts to learn will be
appreciated. lie is spoken to in a
kind, loving and encouraging manner,
and is stimulated to still further
efforts by the general air OF refine
ment about him, and having once &C
quired craving for knowledge, his
education is assured.
On the other hand, watch his equal
ly capable, but less fortunate mate,
on returning home. Should he speak
Of his days studies he is informed in
tones harsh and resonant that the
woodbox or coal-scuttle needs re-
plenishing, or with those supposedly
smart parents he is effectually
squelched by hearing, "Children
should be seen but not heard" or
again, ''Children should not speak
until spoken to-" ETC., and, receiving
no Indictment to learn, becomes dis
gusted with his studies.
1t must not be deduced from this
that children should not help their
parents by doing light work after
school hours; but that parents should
listen to their children, correct their
mistakes when possible, make known
their wants in cheerful manner, and
always show their interest by kind
words and actions, which will not
only give an impetus to the latent
powers of their children, but will be
ever treasured by them az momentos
OF bright and happy childhood.

Self Improvement

II you cannot improve the moral
state of the world at large, you can
at least improve your own character.
And did it never occur to you that
after the best contribution you can
possibly make to the general better
ment is high and clean personal
character? Scolding and denouncing
your fellowmen for not coming up to
the lofty standards which you have
set before them may produce results
wholly different from those you de-
sign. Men do not like to be scolded
and denounced. Even you do not
like it yourself. But there is no re-
sisting the force of incarnated purity,
truthfulness, honesty, gentleness,
kindness and magnanimity. So, for
a brief season, we beg you to pull the
weeds out of your own garden, and
make it blossom with all the virtues.

A Sanctum Sketch.

In the bright and cloudless days OF
prosperity, when the sun of success is
scattering on every hand the dazzling
showers of it's brilliant corruscations,
it frequently happens that envy and
jealousy and pickering and prejudice
lift their hydra heads, and vent their
spleen in kissing and in spite, in
hatred and detraction. 1t is then
that the ferciest tigers of the basest
human passion. come forth in all
their ferocity from the widest un-
giles in the densest wilderness of hui
man savergy, and begin their cease
less howlings of detraction and male
diction. But when simeon of calam
ity has swept over the land with its
whitening heat and parched up all
things with arid breath; when the
wide bosom of destruction sweeps
along in it's unbridled fury. and levels
all obstacles in it's wild mad sweep of
ruin and death: when the clouds of
misfortune fill up the sky and shut
out the beamings Of prosperity, and
flood all scenes with its wild and pitt
less torrents of destruction-it is
then we all feel the sweet kinship OF
humanity, and the heart responds in
tendersst vibrations to the softest
touch of human woe and distress.
Humanity then stands forth in its
angel garb, and with \ countenance
beaming with the beauty of heaven
" charity, it stand. with outstretched
hands filled with soothing balm, eager
to heal the wounds that bleed, and
ease the pains the bruised parts doth
feel.-Orange (Va.) Observer.
