New York, June 3-The latest re-
cruit to the band of giants in the pub
lie view is Russian, by the name Of
Feeder Machnoff, who is creating just
now a good deal Of interest in Berlin.
One professor who has made a study
of giants contends in behalf of his
protege that he is surpassed by no liv-
ing giant and by only three or four
of the known dead giants. But as
Machnoff's stature Is only seven
feet ten inches, and several giants
have been and are on show with q
height of eight feet and more, the
claim to extraordinary stature seems
hardly made out. especially when he

The New York Almanac.

Millions upon millions of almanacs
are printed annually, and most of them
for free distribution. Each year they are
made more attractive and published in
greater numbers The calendar, an innO-
walton of recent years, is popular, but it
can not supplant that old friend of earli-
er days-the almanac-with it's astrO-
nOmical calcula tions and its more or less
accurate weather predictions
While the almanac OF today is issued
primarily for advertising purposes, they
must of necessity contain interesting
matter and be made attractive in every
way possible, else they would not be
read, and the money invested would be
money wasted. Chas Fl Fletcher's New
York Almanac has ever been one Of the
foremost in attractiveness, and the 1908
edition is no exception. 1t has a hand

The KittreII P0st0ffice.

A change has been made in. the
kittrell postotfice whereat there 10
surprise and conjecture as to the
cause. Walter Finch has been re-
moved and J. Ed Smith appointed
in his stead, What it all means is a
mystery to the uninitiated but pol
itics is at the bottom of it of course
Mr.. FINCH was recent appointee and
it is understood that his administra-
ton of the office has been creditable
to himself and satisfactory to the
patrons. Mr.. Hildebrand, Washing
ton correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer, says this touching the
matter:
A contest has developed over the
post office at kittrell in an acute form,
showing the animosity that is felt in
some localities against certain class OF
old-line Republicans. At this place the
office is held by a new convert to Repub-
hcanism. or gentleman of independent
tendencies, Mr.. Finch, who succeeded a
negro named Thorpe j. Edward Smith,
a Republican of the old school. who has
the endorsement of all his party associ.
ates in Vance county, has been recon-
mended for the place by Senator Pritch.
ard, Joseph kittrell, superintendent Of
public instruction in Vance county, is
here urging the retention of Finch, and
says the townspeople would prefer the
reappointment of the negro Thorpe as
between the colored man and Smith. Mr.

DEAR SIR:-There are several ways of
cheating in milk. An ld-fashioned way
is to water it, Nobody waters it now. A
better way is to TAKE ont the cream
rich milk with the cream taken out is
as good AZ poor milk with its cream all
in.
But We needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob Your milk and Your Gus
TONERS.
Paint is as easy az milk to cheat with.
Good paint il as rare a. good milk; for
human paints is much the same i'll milk
men and paint men.
You are just and true with your milk:
so are we with our paint. Devoe Lead
and Zine is twice as good as mixed
pants; there's twice as much butter in it.

When Mr.. Evans painted his house with

Help Your Pastor.

The following from an exchange is
worthy of considering and acting
on:
Are you helping your pastor these
days? Do you ever have a friendly
talk with him about the work, let
ting him know that you are interest
ed in what he is doing? Do you lis
ten attentively to his sermons? A
good listener is a great encourage
ment to a preacher, Did you know
that a little discriminating praise
helps a pastor much? There are
church members who let whole year
pass without giving their preacher a
little praise now and then. Turn
over a new leaf and let your pastor
know you are live, thriving, fruit
bearing member and not Il dead
branch ready to drop off at any
time

Tell Us the News.

The editor cannot be in but one
place at time and he cannot be
cognizant of all that occurs in the
way of news. He therefore asks his
friends to give him such items, per-
sonal notes and the like, as they
would like to have published and
which would make the paper more
newsy and interesting. Send us a
note by messenger, drop a letter in
the post office, use the phone
The GOLD LEAF is here to print the
news of the town and county, and it
wants every item that is of interest
or value. No paper can get all Of
these unless IS readers communicate
with it. A good many people have
the idea that it is immodest to tell
the newspaper anything and yet feel
sighted if the editor does not find it
out. If any item of news is left out
it is because the paper has not heard
of it and it cannot hear of the small
items of a personalnature unless it is
told of them. Had you ever thought
of the matter in this light?
We repeat, that the GOLD LEAF
will take it as a favor if it's friends,
both in town and country, will assist
it in giving the news, as it is it's pur-
pose to do to the edifcation of it's
readers and satisfaction to itself
