pointed postmaster of Henderson,

The clerical force has not been fully
made up yet For the present it is
composed of Mr.. NJ. B. Prince, chief
clerk, Mr.. Tom Garrett Zone of the
old clerks) and Masters Sam Allen
and Richard Jones, clerks. Mr..
Allen has had experience in the office

assistant postmaster under the out
going administration and is familiar

good business man, painstaking and
accurate in his work, and his pres
ence gives assurance that his depart
ment will be well looked after.

pressed itself as to Mr.. Jones' quail
fications and fitness for the duties

master. His appointment gives gen
eral satisfaction. He is one of the
best known and most popular OF our
younger business men and his adj
ministration will be characterized
by a liberal and business like policy.

young and alert, agreeable and

Telephone Subscribers.

Perhaps some of the telephone sub
scribers have been annoyed lately
in not getting prompt service or in
getting the wrong numbers. This
has been due to the changes and i'm
provements being made by the COM
pany. Therefore, the GOLD LEAF
would ask that all subscribers bear
patiently with the management
during the reconstruction OF the Ex-
change. Under existing circumstances
it is matter of almost impossibility
to keep lines straight or telephones in
order, and if your telephone should
get temporarily out of order kindly
bear with the management as they
will, when this work is completed,
give you service that will a hundred
fold make up for the occasional
ANNOYANCE YOU now have.

One Telephone System Enough.

In commenting on the recent az
ton of the town commissioners OF
Henderson in refusing to grant the
Southern Bell Telephone Company a
franchise to operate their system
here the Raleigh News and Observer
says:
THAT body was wise enough not
to permit two telephone companies
TO have systems Raleigh has three,
and i'll addition to the heavy burden
it imposes, it is a nuisance that daily
threatens the religion of every bust
ness man in Raleigh. 1t is as alb
surd to have two or three telephone
systems as two or three postoffices.
The telephone has become an essen
tial factor in business. No city
ought to have more than one sys-
TEN, and the charges and conduct
ought to be regulated by law"
