A FACTORY CHILD.
columbia State.)

A little girl at work beside her loom;
Since earliest light the childish hands
have toiled
Patient and swift, nor heeds the noisy
room,
Or else broken thread the growing we b
had spoiled.
Outside the window on giant tree,
That Pickering shadows cast upon the
dusty fiOr.
A graceful bird, perched where the child
Begins his silver song on her dull ears to
pour.
At first she listens hut as in dream,
So dulfd her senses have become to all
that's sweet;
The very air and sunshine only seem
To come that she may each days toll
repeat.
But soon the merry lifting wakes to life,
Some chord before untouched in that sad
little heart,
Some chord that overcomes will be at
strife
With her unlovely toll. her life's inlet
tered part.
For this chord sings Of sunshine, air and
OF childish Liberty beneath Gods bend
ing sky.
TO watch the birds in their swift upward
flight.
TO note the feecy clouds. sun-tipped
drift idly by.
1t sings of effort and success at school,
OF friendly rivalry and honors hardly
In lea, ning's hall, where merit is the rule,
The pupils rich reward. the teacher S
glad Well dOne!'
So wrapt is her soul in the bright dream,
This vision OF future that will never be,
That times unheeIed till the whist lie s
scream
And BELLS harsh elamor set the worn
dreamer free.
Then home she fares adown the dusty lane,
Home? Call ye it so, these bare, sun
b@iSter'd walls?
What is there in her home, so mean, so
plain,
That she should be eager to answer
duty's call?
1t Is for mother that her young heart
yearnS,
For mother. prematurely faded, old and
gray.
Her father drinks, nor any wage he earns.
But Observation-Disclosures toll sapped all
her strength away!

Not a Question of Expense.

The merchant that counts advertis-
ing apart from his legitimate busi-
ness expenses, is not the one likely
to make any great commercial sue
cess.
Business success and commercial
advancement today, owe their pro-
gress to printers ink.
For the merchant who hesitatss
over tho cost Of advertising, there is
q chance OF failure in his business,
and the merchant who labors day and
night in his store, without using
printers ink on the outside in liberal
quantities, will find small returns for
his individual labor, unless combined
with advertising.
Advertising does not come under
the head of "luxuries," in the mer-
camille world today.
1t is as necessary as tirst-class loca-
ton, the best class of goods and the
best of clerk help.
Advertising is not on the question
list of the merchant doing business.
for the merchant doing business
recognizes that MS aoVeTtlselhent 10
as necessary, day after day, as is the
opening of his store and the inside
display of his goods.
SO far as the merchants OF New
Berns are concerned, the columns OF
the Journal sufficiently prove that
they are firm believers in printers
ink, and according to its use will be
found the success of the merchants
employing it in their regular daily
business.
The successful merchant is the one
that puts advertising first on the list
of necessaries for his business, and
does not question its cost, or ask ii
he can afford to spend the money

In view OF tie proposition to levy
special tax for the maintenance of
Graded Schools in Henderson town
ship, it may be interesting to know
how few other towns have met this
question. Waynesville, with popu-
lation OF ,307, taxable property valued
at 1866, 900 and 4 school enrolment
Of only $40, in 1899 voted almost
unanimously for bond issue of $1O,-
900, which amount is now being ex-
pended in new buildings and better
Equipments. II Waynesville, with a
population Of about one-fourth that
Of Henderson, smaller number of
children of school age, and taxable
property of only $360,O00 as againat
$1,512,730 for Henderson township,
thought it good business sense to vote
$4,000 for school pnrposes-(and
subsequent events have demonstrated
the wisdom of it)-what shall be said
of us il we shall vote against the con-
tinuance Of our Graded School?
The town of Monroe with about 400
children OF school age owns school
property valued at $4,000. Last
year a bond issue was voted and a
handsome Graded School building,
(brick), comfortably furnished and
properly equipped, costing $4,000,
is now nearing completion.
Goldsboro. when her Graded School
was much smaller than ours is now,
voted $4,000 for school bonds, and
so we'll pleased is that community
with the result of the work accom-
plished in the schools that few
weeks ago 1925, 200 in bonds were voted
for new building, ETC., making a
total Of $35, 200 invested in school
equipment. Goldsboro's greatest
pride and glory is now, and will con-
tinue to be, her magniticentlv equip
ped schools.
Reidsville, smaller town than
Henderson. and with less children,
owns school property valued at
$4,000, and still they will vote in
May on bond issue of $4,000 for a
new school building. In addition to
the property already mentioned they
own site for the proposed new build
ing valued at $4,000.
High Point, with a population but
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1901-05-02

little larger than Henderson, issued
bonds and bought school building
at cost of $13, 900. and in May they
will vote on the issuance OF additional
bonds for equipment.
Rocky Mount recently voted by an
overwhelming majority in favor OF
issuing $15, 900 in bonds for the
establishment of Graded Schools.
And Enfield, mere village. by ,
practically unanimous vote, only a
few weeks ago, took the same ad-
vanced step, and her people have not
yet ceased to rejoice over the fact.
Durham, with a population of but
6,675, owns school property valued at
$4,000. But progressive, public
spirited people that they are even
with Trinity College and excellent
private schools OF lower grade in
their midst, still they are not content.
Next month they will vote on the
issuance of $4,000 in bonds for
school purposes.
The list might be heightened by a
reference to Raleigh, Greensboro,
Winston, Charlotte, Wilmington,
Asheville, and other and smaller
places, but these instances will suffice
the purpose Of the GOLD LEAF in
showing what other progressive towns
are doing. Shall we keep step with the
spirit of the time or take step back
into the past? We must do one or the
other-go forward or Backward Which
shall it be? Once our faces are set
to the front, there must be no turn
ing back 1t must be ever onward,
or we will be outstripped in the race
by more progressive communities.
We cannot afford to give black
eye to the cause of public education.
The loss of the Graded School would
be public calamity, the effects OF
which cannot be measured in dollars
and cents. The GOLD LEAF sincerely
hopes therefore that all the friends OF
progress will unite to avert such
calamity and carry to complete sue
cess the measure, and the only one,
which guarantees the continuance OF
an enterprise which so vitality con-
Germs the business, the moral and in.
tellectual future of Henderson and
Vance county.

LET THE DISSATISFIED PASS ALONG
The Protest of Dissatisfaction at Per-
sonaI Surroundings is Confined to
Neither Sex nor Locality.
New Berne Journal. }

crew Befne JOufual)
On every side will be found the
dissatisfied person, the chronic
..kicker," who finds nothing good.
This everlasting and tiresome pro-
testing dissatisfaction Of personal
surroundings, is not confined to either
sex. 1t is male and female.
This constant protest against exist
ing and present conditions, is made
against society, business, religion and
any local environment.
In the church, there will be the pro-
test against the preacher, the uncom-
Portable pew, or the dislike of some
member.
There are other churches, let the
dissatisfied seek another, where min
lister, pew and associates are more to
the liking.
In the social circle, there will come
the protest against this or that mem
ber.
But there are other social circles.
let the dissatisfied one pass along.
In the boarding house, in the hotel,
there arises protest against the SER
vice, the table or something else.
There is no law compelling any per-
son to remain in one boarding house
or hotel. to submit to poor service or
eat meals that are not satisfactory.
Let the dissatisfied persons pass along
and seek other quarters.
And there is the citizen who cannot
be pleased with his town. Its stores
arc too small. it's business is too dull.
and it shows no progress.
And this same protestor will buy
goods in other places, and demand
the highest price for any produce he
may have to sell at home.
The progress of the town is hinder
ed largely by the talk Of this dissatis-
fed person and his like, for their talk
will cause every one to hesitate about
making improvements, where there
seems SO little to warrant going ahead
in progressive way.
But to these dissatisfied persons, it
ought to be known that there are
other towns. perhaps none that can
fully meet their full desires, yet they
should pass along and try to find
their city of perfect satisfaction-to
themselves.
For all the dissatisfied ones, there
is always the opportunity to move
along to some other place.
There NAV be no continuing city
for the chronic Kicker" but he OF
she should seek one, and on earth
and thus relieve those who must be
forced to listen to their complaint.
for the time, for they will live in the
hope that these dissatisfied ones must
pass along, and let their weight o.
! distress burden other communities.
