NARROW Bl0OTRY.

While the question Of electing trus-
tees Of the State University was be-
fore the House last week one Mr.
Smith (the name sounds familiar
though doubtless stranger to most
folks as associated with this psrticu-
lar individually objected to Mr.. Charles
McNamee, of Buncombe, on the
ground of his being "a Northern man
and Republican. In purely politi-
cal matters we believe in filling the
Offices with persons of the same polit-
ical faith as tho party in power, but
with positions Of non partisan
nature and which ought to be kept
out Of politics and above party. it is
different. And the office OF Univer-
sity trustee is one Of them. The
question to be applied then is not
Il he Northern man and a Rspubli-
can? but Is he competent man and
the selection good one9 In the case
of Mr. McNamee it can be answered
in the Affirmative Therefore, it
gives the GOLD LEAF pleasure to note
that tho puerile objection to him did
not prevail. Northern man that he
is would that North Carolina had
more like him. Away with such mar
row bigotry and let us hereafter sup
press if possible braying asses Of the

VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Col. W. B. Rodman no doubt OBJ
jects to being published As dead, and
so clever a gentleman and ono so
much alive shall not rest under the
imputation even il he has. been so
classed. And while be knew it was
a mistake if the statement made to
that effect in the GOLD LEAF last
week came under his notice there
we're others who did not perhaps,
and for their benefit we want TO say
rs much. In abiding 10 the appoint
ment Of Col. Walker Taylor as Pay
master General of the State Guard,
it WAS stated that he was formerly
Colonel Of the Second Regiment, and
upon his resignation he was succeed
ed by Col. Rodman. That was all
right and would have been entirely
correct had we not added "whose
unfortunate death by accident dur
ing the jamestown riot at New Berne
will be recalled" 1t was not Col.
Rodman but Col. Bogart who was
killed 10y being thrown from his
horse his head striking On a rock)
and the confusion of names was due
solely to thoughtlessness at the
moment we wrote. We knew better,
were in New Berne at the time and
saw Col. .Bogart soon after he fell as
he was being conveyed to the hotel.

THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL.

President McKinley's inaugural ad-
dress is not remarkable, but it is we'll
written. breathes a national spirit
and is free from any suggestion of
partisanship. 1t is modest, too, in
tone, and reverential. The President
is rather disposed to plume himself
on the administration policy in China
during the complications, and in this
he is pardonable. for during and since
the war in China the conduct of the
United States in that empire has been
dignitied, conservative and humane.
He speaks the Cubans fair and if his
policy toward that island IS outlined
in his inaugural is adhered to there
can be no charge that we have broken
faith with its people. With regard to
the Philippines the President is Del
phic. We do not see how there can
be dissent from his proposition that
as long as the Filipinos fight us we
must fight them, nor from his other
proposition that this government 10 in
honor bound to the protection Of the
natives who have evidenced their
loyalty to this government. He
speaks also Of giving the inhabitants
OF the islands self-government after
their pacitication has been accom-.
plished. but this is . somewhat gen.
eral term and one is left in doubt \.
to whether in this case it means com.
plete independence or something
short Of this. In the light of the at.
titude OF Congress, as developed il
the debates and by its legislation
this doubt is resolved into belief tina,
the Republicans have no idea of per
manent abandonment.
The address has the merits of brew
ity and compactness, and will b.
found an interesting and readabl.

JOE w. DAVIS.

A young man who is Industrious, who
is intelligent and has good morals, is of
priceless worth to any community. The
loss we have sustained in the death of Joe
W. Davis is beyond estimate. He had an
open face, a good bearing. and unusual
force of character He had the respect
and confidence of his acquaintance and
was greatly beloved by his friends and
relatives.
He publicly confessed Christ on October
3Oth, 1900, and Joined the Methodist
Protestant church here November IL tn
His regret was that he did not become q
Christian earlier in his youth
Soon after joining the church he was
elected on the board OF stewards on the
corps of ushsrs and treasurer of the Sun
day-schoOl Besides serving faithfully in
these positions. he was devoted to the
church and was ready for any service to
his Master.
He was especially concerned about the
nnSaved young men of his acquaintance
Those who said NO to his pleading did
not know that he would so soon carry
their decision into eternity.
He was an honorary member of the
Young Womans Christian Temperance
Union. He was planning to save up
money and go to school. But he was
cut down.
May there fall on the shoulders of the
young men of this town the mantle of
Christ whose manly life quickened the
elements of true manhood in the life of
Joe Davis
Joe W. Davis was born May 9TH, 1880,
and died February 9th. 1901
When he way converted he did not
know that he would he in this world

days. His pastor.

NO CRITICISM TO MAKE, BUT

In the Legislature last week when
the question of allowing an increase
in the item OF expenses in the admin
istration VI the office of Insurance
Commissioner was under considera-
ton in the House, ex-Judge Graham
opposed the measure-as he bad
perfect right to debut in manner
the GOLD LEAF was somewhat sur
prised at. But to 90 back little:
Commissioner Young asked for
special appropriation Of 800 for extra
clerk hire. In opposing this increase
Judge Graham did so by imputation
and insinuation. asking how many
days in the year the Commissioner is
employed, what the nature OF his
duties are, and how much time is
devoted to the work Of the office, as
we find him quoted in the News and
Observer AS to what the duties OF
the Insurance Commissioner are, we
had supposed that no one knew better
than Judge Graham himself. As re-
CARDS to how many days in the year
the Commissioner is employed and
how much time is devoted to the
work of the office, the high and credit
able administration Of the insurance
department, creditable to the Com
missioner himself and satisfactory to
the State, answers the question in
stronger language than any we may
employ.
AS far as Mr.. Young's private char
acter is concerned that needs no de-
tense. Nor are we undertaking to
defend his official acts believing that
! his public record at all times will
| stand the test in the white light of
impartial Judgment. Indeed, hear
what Judg. Graham himself says a
little further on in this same con-
nection: II have no criticism to
| make OF the CONl we HaNe
been friends from boyhood and l
know him to be an honest, efficient,
faithful officer, and he has served the
State we'll"
Judge Graham says he has no criti-
cism to make Of the Commissioner,
but while protesting his friendship be
stabs him by insinuation and innuen
do. If the gentleman had no criti
cisms to mako in an honest, Oper
manner was the course pursued the
fair and manly thing to do?
Faithful are the wounds OF {
friend"-not always.

IT was perhaps in perfect keeping
with the fitness Of things that the
Royal Baking Powder Company, con-
scienceless concern as our experience
with them has convinced us they are,
should suggest a ''compromiss" in
the settlement of a matter growing
out Of their beating this paper out OF
money honestly due it. But the GOLD
LEAF has no compromise to make.
Nor did it receive the courteous con-
sideration OF even so much as that
until it refused to submit in silence
to the arbitrary and unfair treatment
Of the Royal Baking Powder Company
in beating it out of an honest adver-

WORK AS YOU TALK.


Practical Hints About Town Building
AS Applicable to Henderson as to
Winston or Elsewhere.
From the Winston Journal we take
the following which is commended to
the thoughtful consideration and
earnest adoption Of our people as
being as applicable to Henderson as
it is to Winston:
Talk and passivity cost little effort.
The only thing that counts is to do
and to do intelligently and persist
emily.
The verb succeed is in the active
voice. 1t is synonymous with work.
One man may start mere rapid
growth of city but he cannot keep
it going. He must have help. The
Journal may preach and plead till the
crack Of doom but unless every other
man in the city does his part little
will be accomplished The Journal
will reap as little benefit from the
realization of it's efforts as anybody
The merchant, the manufactures, the
lawyer, the doctor. the butcher and
the baker, and the candle stick maker
will get more out of it than the news
paper man. That is not the question
A bigger, better city means more dol
lars for us all. 1t means better
schools. better churches, better mar
kets. better times, better everything
IT'S q contamination devoutly to be
wished. Let us get to work-talk it..
act it; keep everybody we have-per-
suade Others to come, aud keep them
when they do come. Spend your
money here and get your neighbour to
do likewise. Paint your house, re-
pair your fence aud your sidewalk,
and whatsoever you do, do it right
and with your might.
