FOR SALE.
Desiring to 90 into other business
The Gold Leaf is Offered for Sale.
The plant is "A good one, the equipment
first-class, much Of the material new.
But the good will of the paper, now III
its twenty-second year, is perhaps its
most valuable asset. 1t has good pat
ronage which is capable Of development,
and fine opportunity il open to a wide
awake newspaper man.
Good reasons for wishing to make a
change aftermOre than twenty-One years
continuous service in the newspaper
business.
No one who does not mean business
and who is not prepared to do business
need take up their time and ours by
writing to ask questions.
The editor will esteem it personal
favor ii his brethren OF the press will give
publicity to this item.
THE SenatOrship question having
been settled the Legislature will now
get down to business" If the con-
test for Senator had been kept up to
the time Of adjournment the State
would have been saved q lot Of fool
legislation which may now be looked
for
REPRESENTATIVE Daniel, of Vance.
has introduced a bill to prohibit
persons from picking blackberries on
the lands of another without permits
sion OF the owner. As the GOLD LEAF
sees it that is too small n piece of
legislation TO be put upon the statute
books Of North Carolina
.ANENT the talk of a monument to
\. G. Gonzales in Columbia (public
subscriptions have already been
started and good sum realizedD
the Greenville RefrctOr says:
THE most creditable monument
that South Carolina can raise to t he
memory OF Editor Gonzales would be
Il gibbet and jim Tillman hanging
thercfrOm.
REIDSvILLE seems to have solved
the wood chopping problem. The
Weekly says:
GOOD for the Irish wood choppers.
'Fhcy entered he field in competition
with the colored brethren, who had
gotten too BIG for heir business, and
taught them IL lesson. They do their
work well and don't have to be begged
and paid too.
PERHAPS those who have never
seen SenatOr-elect Overman would
have Il better opinion of him il the
News and Observer had not printed
that miserable picture of him. We
know the gentleman and will be a
witness in his behalf that he has good
grounds to bring suit for libel. He
is not as stuck up us thai picture
represents him.
SENATOR Pritchard has dropped
BOykin and recommended the ap-
pointmcnt of DR.. b. T. Person as
Postmaster at Wilson to succeed the
negro Wick. The Washington cor
respondent OF the Raleigh Post says
the Wilson people seriously object to
DR.. Person as they did to the APP
pointment OF Boybin. And there YOU
are. 1t would appear that the best
way out of the difficulty is to let the
Wilson people keep their negro post
master.
IT is all right to protect the birds
and in that the GOLD LEAF is with
the Audubon Society. but the SO
license tax on ''foreign' spOrtsmen-
or any other for that matter-is
wrong. Every bird killed by the av-
erage man who comes into this State
for Il few days or weeks shooting
costs him from one to five dollars a
piece as it is and the additional en-
pense of license tax should not be
added. 1t is Il narrow-minded, short
sighted piece of legislation and ought
not to become a law.
