FOURTH OF JULY.

To be Celebrated In Raleigh by q
Unique and magnificent Demonstra-
tion Under the Auspices of the Capt.
tai City Council Junior Order United
American Mechanics.
Raleigh will witness this year the re-
yival in North Carolina of the patriotic
celebration OF the Fourth of July. All
arrangements have been completed and
every detail is unique and magnificent,
and the demonstration will be the larg-
est and most proper ever seen in the
State.
The celebration is under the auspices
OF Capital City Council No. 1, Jr. o. e.
A. NJ, and the Raleigh Chamber of Com
merce, and the executive committee has
completed an elaborate program
Cannon will be fired at regular inter
walls throughout the whole day.
At IL O'Clock on the morning of the
Fourth there will be a patriotic meeting
Ia Metropolitan Hall, at which Governor
Charles B. Aycock, Chief Justice Walter
Clark and President Geo T. Winston will
deliver appropriate addresses A chorus
OF 100 voices, under the direction of
Prof. Wade R. Brown, of the Baptist
Female University, will render vocal
music.
Mrs. Horace R. Dowell, one of the
South's sweetest singers, has consented
to sing a solo at this meeting. The
most unique feature OF the morning
meeting will be the music by the only
Confederate Drum Corps in existence,
which has been induced to play at the
celebration.
In the afternoon there will be a dis
play of Japanese daylight fireworks,
after which there will be drills by the
local military companies and an exhi-
bition by the Raleigh Fire Department
At night the browning event of the
celebration will take place. Two thous-
and dollars worth of Pains Manhattan
Beach night fireworks, a display infin-
itely superior to any ever seen in North
Carolina, will be discharged: The pro-
gram of this display was specially pre-
pared by the celebrated Pain Manufac-
turing Company, of New York, for this
occasion, and contains many of the
wonderful fireworks feats which were
remarkable in the marvellous exhibition
at the opening Of the ST. Louis Worlds
Fair.
All the railroads running into Raleigh
have offered reduced rates, and several
towns will run excursions to Raleigh.
1t is expected that one of the largest
crowds ever seen in the capital city will
witness the mommoth celebration and
participate in the events OF the glorious
Fourth.

Passed a Successful Examination.

Mr.. Charlie Gary who recently re-
ceived an appointment to the United
States Naval Academy, came home
last week from Annapolis where he
had been to stand his mental exami-
nation. 1t will be gratifying to the
friends OF the young gentleman as
we'll as those OF his parents, Col. and
Mrs. W. E. Gary, to learn that he
has been notified that he passed a
successful examination. Now he
goes back to stand the physical ex-
animation and passing this he will
enter upon his career at the Academy.

The Orphans Concert Friday Night.

The entertainments by the orphan
children are always attractive Even
if they were not given for the pro-
motion OF a great and important
work, they would deserve and at
tract large patronage. Such a con-
cert given in the interest of such Il
cause ought to secure the most liber-
al support of all of our people. Even
if you do not usually attend and ell
Joy concerts, you will be repaid for
attending this one. 1t will warm
your heart; it will be a blessing to
you to see and hear the children. Go
to Cooper Opera House Friday night
and hear them and induce as many
Others to go us you can. You will
enjoy it and will, at the same time,
be aiding a good work.

Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Can the President nominate himself,
conduct his own campaign and win?
There is nothing in the way of prece-
dent to guide in answering this ques-
ton. The American people will have
to furnish the answer. Certainly the
campaign now near at hand will,
more than the campaign of 1884,
even, be a contest concentered on a
personality. The debate will proceed
on other and far different lines, it is
true, in the use OF materials, but it
will be, nevertheless, on the Republi-
can side, a personal campaign. 1t is
easy to add that this is just what the
candidate himself has wanted, has
striven for, and relies upon.

A work Of Great Scope.

With the compliments of John r.
Hawkins, of Kittrell, the GOLD LEAF
has received copies of his latest re-
ports as General Secretary of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
and as General Supervisor of Kittrell
College, at Kittrell, n. C. We had
understood that the scope of his
work was far reaching but did not
know the real extent of it. From
these reports it is seen that he has
under his supervision twenty-five
schools and colleges, representing all
the territory of the United States.
many of the islands of the seas, and
the continent of Africa. The money
for the support OF these schools has
to pass through his hands, which
represents a much larger sum we
think than that handled by any
other colored man in the State, and
possibly in the South, for school
purposes, with the exception of
Booker Washington.
The Citizens Bank of Henderson is
one of the repositories for the safe
keeping OF this money. Another fact
which is worthy of consideration is
that these thousands of dollars raised
and reported to the Gen'l Secretary
and Supervisor for the support OF
these schools represent the contribu-
tions out of the earnings of the colored
people, whereas the general impress
sion is that it is largely the work OF
the whites. This speaks we'll for the
liberality and ambition of the
colored race and shows what they
are doing for the education and in
dustrial training of their own race.

Importance Of Building and Loan As

New Berne Journal,

New Berne Journal.
The Importance locally of a build
ing and loan association is best ap-
preciated by the people of the COM
munity who have it, and enjoy it's
benefits, for there is no question of
the great advantages which a build
ing and loan association gives to the
entire community, especially to the
wage Garner, who can either place his
savings in this association and have
these savings draw interest, besides
being a convertible security and an
available asset, after a few payments
have been made.
In this city the local building and
loan association has proven of great
value. Its business has been splen-
didly conducted at practically no ex-
pense to the stockholders, and it's
loans have been made safely and
wisely without a loss being incurred.
THE CHRISTIAN churches at Con-
stantinople, Turkey, and Yokahoma, Japan,
have long used the Longman & Martinez
Paints for the painting their churches.
Liberal contributions of L. & NJ Paint will
be given for such purpose wherever a church
is located.
