Has Complied With the Law.

In an editorial last week from the
New Bern Journal under the heading
OF "Wanted-a Municipal Account
ing" we said the sentiments therein
expressed were SO timely that we
adopted them as applicable to local
conditions. With reference to a
change of administration our CON
temporary said it was due not mere
ly to the outgoing officials and those
succeeding them but it was due the
tax payers and citizens that an ac-
counting be made of the city, affairs.
After reading the article Mr.. w. W.
Rowland, treasurer of the town, said
we were wrong i'll part at least in
saying the remarks of the Journal
were applicable to local conditions.
They may have been we'll timed as
far as New Bern is concerned but not
to Henderson, at least since he has
been treasurer of the tOwn-for the
last year. Exhibits are required to
be made semi-annually, January LIST
| and July LIST. Such exhibit was made
by him in January and posted on the
door at the Mayors office. There is
no law requiring anything else or he
would have done it. This exhibit
shows the towns financial condition
in detail-the taxes collected and
what the money was spent for; the
| municipal assets and liabilities: the
| different funds and accounts kept,
etc.
That there has been laxity in the
administration of the towns affairs
mot as a whole, to be sure) and the
people kept too much in ignorance of
what they had right to be informed
about cannot be denied. Nor do we
| lay this criticism upon the present
administration alone 1t was with a
knowledge of these things and with
no thought OF being unfair to Treas
urer Rowland or unkind to the other
| gentlemen of the Board that we
wrote. Mr.. Rowland has made a
good treasurer and performed his
duties honestly and faithfully and it
gives us pleasure to say this much.

DOES PAY TOT UY CHEAP?

A cheap-remedy for coughs and colds is
all right, but you want something that will
relieve and cure the more severe and dam
gerous results of throat and lung troubles.
What shall you do? Go to a warmer and
more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then in either case take
the only remedy that has been introduced
in all civilized countries with success in
severe throat and lung troubles, ''Boschee's
German Syrup" 1t not only heals and
stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ
disease, but allays inflammation, causes
easy expectoration, gives good nights
rest, and cures the patient. Try one bottle.
Recommended many years by all druggists
in the world. You can get this reliable
remedy at Dorsey's drug store. Price Csc

Dear Sir: You sell good goods and give
full measure. It's pleasant way of do
ing and it pays besides
We do it for the same reason and it has
made us the foremost paint house in the
United States.
Short weight and authorizations are the
vices of business. They are a natural re-
spouse to the demand for cheapness The
world is full of them-the grocery world
and the paint world, and every kind of
world
You know and we know that it doesn't
pay. People change their grocer orpaint
man as soon as they find it out
We don't know about groceries-you
tell your people about them-the full
measured and unauthorized paint is De-
voc Lead and Zinc
Fewer gallons-takes less DevOe Lead

Error Apparent.

In writing last week about the
quantity OF cotton consumed annual
w bv Henderson's two cotton mills
an error was made in the figures us
printed. And apparent as this error
was to the intelligent reader it is
well enough to refer to it here for the
purpose of correction. 1t was stated
that whereas only about 1000 bales
of cotton were used annually when
the Henderson Cotton Mills began
business five years ago, now the two
mills consume at the rate of 1,6OO.
We wrote 10000. An increase OF 600
in five years meant nothing ofcourse.

BASED ON MERIT.
Euvita, the New Fountain Drink,
Meets With PhenOmerseI Success.

The GOLD LEAF is always gratifed
at the success of any local or North
Carolina enterprise of merit And in
noting the instance below mentioned
it has peculiar pleasure from the fact
that some of the gentlemen interest
ed are its personal friends and the
article named is advertised in it's col
umns. We have reference to the new
soda fountain drink, Euvita, manu-
featured in Greenville, n c., the sue
cess of which Kings Weekly, of that
place. says:
The Euvita Company are more than
gratifed with their sales so far Up to
date they have sold nearly 1000 gallons
and the season has scarcely opened. 1t
was several years before Coca-Cola sales
reached that amount There have been
$50 gallons of Euvita drunk in Green
vile. Coca-Cola's first year was only %
gallons all told.
'Euvita is the best and most popular
drink on the market and some expect
this seasons sales to reach 30 900 gal
Ions. Its manufacture was only begun
seven weeks ago"
Euvita is the discovery of a we'll
known physician of Greenville and
was first prescribed as a medicine for
the relief OF headache, Indigestion,
disordered stomach and kindred
complaints It's effect was altogether
satisfactory, in some cases magical,
and the demand increased with the
knowledge of such appropriation. 1t
was pleasant i'll taste and beneficial
in effect, an aid to digestion and a
correction of the unhappy conditions
which frequently come from over in
diligence in eating or drinking.
SO popular did this then unnamed
prescription become locally and so
enthusiastic the endorsements in it's
behalf that the discOverer conceived
the idea of enlarging its sphere of
usefulness by increasing the demand
for it, He would do this by putting
it into the form of a delightful soda
fountain drink. A series of expert
ments were made until the correct
flavor was found. A name was then
given to it and instantaneously Eu-
vita, which means good health-new
lfe-to those who drink it sprung
into favor and popularity. A COM
pany was organized to manufacture
it on a large scale and it's success has
been phenomenal from the beginning
Euvita promises to become one of
the most popular fountain drinks ex-
tant. 1t is delicious, refreshing, in
vigOrating, beneficial, and whoever
drinks it likes it. 1t does not contain
any alcohol or opiate of any kind
and does not stimulate Or create any
confirmed habit Cures headache, in
digestion, heartburn, dizziness, sour
stomach. Quenches the thirst, salts
fies the feelings, relieves languor
Braces the nerves, refreshes the mind,
grateful to the whole system.
Ask for Euvita at the soda foun-
tains and try it for Yourself.
