Executive Mansion Not Needed.

From the Newark Evening News
just why the State should spend money
for an executive mansion is hard to un-
derstand. A bill calling for an appro-
priation for that purpose is up before the
legislature at the present session. II
contemplates buying the Green residence
and grounds, closing street and tearing
down block Of buildings. Extensive
improvements will have to be made, land
scape gardeners put to work and ornamental
bridges built. All this will be done at a
large cost to the treasury, and it is impos-
sible to see any need that warrants the
expenditure.
The capital city is within few hours
journey of any part of the State. Not
one governor in ten would care to move
his household thither to live there at all.
Governors in former times have found il
no hardship to journey to Trenton when
their services were required at the State
House. No doubt New Jersey can afford
to buy clothes that she does not often
wear, but the spare change in the treasury
might better be spent for other purposes.
The executive mansion bill ought to be
turned down.

Trade at Home.

The following good advice is taken
from the Duplin Journal:
The Journal is not a paper trying
to run other peoples affairs, yet at
the same time it is the duty of any
paper to protect as much as possible
it's home interests. Now that our
merchants here and those Of all the
towns in the county, have put in a
large stock Of goods and are selling
at very small profits, we desire to i'm
press upon all tho fact that it is our
duty to spend what money must be
spent at home. When the farmer
needs credit the merchant at home is
always the one to lend a hand. He
pays the tax that goes to keep up our
towns in every way and helps to build
your school houses and your churches.
And if you owe him, don't cross the
street rather than meet him face to
face, but 60 in his store, pay what
you can on accounts, and if you must
buy anything, buy from him. This
10 certainly the best way to do. The
home merchants need your trade.

Death of Miss Ida Edwards.

Miss Ida Edwards, whose critical
illness at her home near Bear Pond
has been mentioned in these columns,
died at o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Her condition for several days had
presaged the end and her death al
though painfully sad to the family
and friends was not unexpected. She
was a young woman of fine charac-
ter and superior worth, brilliant OF
mind and amiable of disposition, and
was loved and admired by all who
knew her For some years Miss Ed
wards was a teacher in the Oxford
Orphan Asylum. The work taxing
her strength too greatly she was
compelled togive it up. After a rest
and recuperation she went back only
to be again forced to relinquish the
duties for which she had exhibited
such aptitude and fondness. More
recently she had been teaching pub
lie school near her home.

st. Johns Day, June 74th, to be Gel
ebrated This Year AS Usual,

" hlle readers OF the GOLD LEAF
are more or less familiar with this
institution located i'll our sistertown

who know bnt little of its objects. its
history and the valuable work that
is being done there. The following
which Is sent out bythe management
Incidental to the celebration of ST.
John ; Day, June oath, will he found
both timely and interesting:
About thirty years ago the Ma
sons OF North Carolina established
at Oxford a home for INDECENT orphan
children. The establishment was
opened with less than q dozen chill
dren. but it has continued to grow
i'll numbers and increase in useful
ness until the number is now over
two hundred and fifty.
The oath day OF June, as is known
by all Masons, is one of the anniver-
sarv days celebrated by the Order.
and for Il number of wears past this
celebration has been held at the Asv-
lum at Oxford. This year there will
be special meeting of the Grand
Lodge there on that day to consider
matters OF Importance to the Craft.
among which will be the considera-
ton OF the question OF q Masonic
Temple
There are many MasOns who have
never visited the Asylum and really
know but little OF the great work
that is being done there. As every
American citizen should see the CAPT
tai OF his country once at least. SO
should every Mason OF North Caro-
lima see this great charitable institu-
ton at least one time The gather
ing at Oxford this year will be a
large one. The exercises will be of
unusual interest Besides the meet
ing OF the Grand Lodge. an open air
concert will be given by the children
OF the Asylum, which is always high
ly entertaining. and the Annual Adj
dress will be delivered by Hon Matt
". Ransom, one OF North CarOlina's
greatest orators.
Friende are requested to bring bas-
kets. Tables for dinner will be pro-
vided i'll the beautiful Asylum grove
Will have Il good old fashioned bas-
ket picnic
Reduced rates ON all the railroads
will be given and Il convenient sched-
ule run. The Superintendent and
other officers of the Asylum extend a
cordial invitation, not only to the
Masons, but to the public generally
to visit Oxford on the 9th of June.
We feel sure that all who go will have
pleasant and interesting time and
can see what Il great work is going
on under the auspices of the Masonic

Courtesy as a Factor in Business.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
A prosperous merchant said the
other day: Next to advertising,
courteous clerks have contributed
more to my success than any other
one factor that can mention.
How many business men under
stand two simple requisites Of sac
cessful business-frst, advertise: get
the prospective customers to your
store and, secondly, treat them so
we'll they will feel like calling on you
again when in need Of the goods you
sell.
This courteous treatment Of Gus
toners has inestimable weight: to
most people shopping is bore A
courteous clerk can relieve ii Of much
that is disagresable. 4 few pleasant
words. 6 willingness to show good
and satisfied customer That
customer will call again and he or
she will call for the clerk that made
the former shopping tour pleasant
for them. Thus will bit Of courtesy,
little simple politeness rebound
both to the good Of the employs
and the employer. The merchant
that clerk serves will build up sub
stantial trade; the courteous clerk
can command better salary because
he or she can attract more customers
TO the store.
OF course there is something to be
said on the other side. The customer
must have some feeling for the tired
clerk. They must show courtesy to
be treated courteously in return.
Clerks are but human beings. no ma
chimes, and sometimes the physical
nature gives away under the strain OF
Icing hours and steady work The
customer has right to expect to be
shown everything in the store when
purchasing, but it is hardship, a
cruelty to the tired clerk to make her
| take down every bolt Of goods in the
store when the customer simply wants
a paper Of pins.
