Mr. Editor: l beg that you will accord
to me sufficient space in your columns to
record my estimate of a man whose life
has been a benedictiOn to North Caro-
lima. 1t too often happens that we wait
until good man is sleeping in his mar
row cell before we say things which will
make his heart glad and his life brighter,
and for this reason wish now to record
the worth of Rev. William Black, your
Synodical evangelist. More than twenty
years ago he and | were licensed to prac-
tice law. He took up residence in the
town of Maxton and located in Laurin-
burg the towns being seven miles apart
on the Carolina Central Railroad. The
e1igences of practice to a lawyer who
does not reside in large city require
that he make frequent appearance before
Justice of the Peace as well as in q
higher tribunal, the Superior Court. For
ten or twelve years in Richmond and
Robson counties Capt. Black, as he was
then known, and this writer measured
lances in many hard fought engagements,
sometimes as often as two or three
times week He was a most excellent
lawyer and in every bout was able to
hold his own against the strongest odds.
He had a lucrative practice and no
lawyer ever opposed him expecting other
than fair and honorable dealing. | can
not recall ever having heard any adver-
sary of his charge that he had dealt I'M
fairly and it is one of the delightful re-
collections of my associations with him
that we never had an unpleasant word
AS a lawyer he was pure in his life, was
| at all times courteous to his associates
his fidelity to his clients forever stood
beyond reproach, and he never dealt I'M
Justly with his opponents. So when he
entered the ministry my regard and ad
| miration for the man prompted me tC
| watch his career and it is my deliberate
| opinion that no one man in North Caro-
lima within the past ten years has &C
| complished more good than Capt Black
and only very few have equalled him
| He did not enter his ministry because ht
| was a briefess lawyer, for when he re
| tired he gave up a profitable practice
| and . large clientage who had an abid
| ing confidence, not only in his loft.
| character. but in his ability also. HI
| went into his new work actuated onl.
| by the desires to be a better man himsel
and to help others to be good and liv
pure lives. There are thousands OF mel
and women and girls and boys in Nort]
arolina who have been lifted to highe
and nobler things by Will Black spreach

yigor of a splendid physical and Chris
tian manhood. WALTER 81. NEAL.

Apparently, at least, the most i'm

that should be the most enjoyable is
the most painful. We are referring
to the work of training their children.
The work Of holding them steadily
to the practices that are moral and
uplifting with a steady and even
hand from day to day till the repeat
ed acts of virtue become a habit
which is but another name for fixed
character. They majority Of parents
now adays are ''hands OFF, and are
allowing their children to grow up
without any training at ALL 1t is no

Why should people ask for free

licatiOn of matter which concerns
only themselves-cards of thanks,
obituary notices, resolutions OF re-
spect, public entertainments where
an admission fee is charged, and the

The tailor, the tobacconist, the

people who are aggrieved if they can

would not think Of struggling for q

1t is the principle more than the

is repugnant to all sound business

There is scarcely a newspaper in

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Meeting Held at the Court House
Wednesday In the Interest of Better
Public HIGHWAYS.

Pursuant to a call of Mr. j. L. Currin,
/ chairman of the Henderson Township
| Road Commissioners, meeting of the
| citizens of Henderson Township was
held in the Court House Wednesday
afternoon to discuss the working of the
| roads in said township. While the at
tendance at the meeting was not as
large as wished for, the interest and
| enthusiasm shown by those present clear
ly demonstrated that our progressive
citizens realize the Importance of better
roads.
On motion of Mr. W. S. Parker. DR..
F. r. Harris was elected permanent
chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Jas. W.
HOrner, Secretary
AT the request of the chairman. Mr.
j. l.. Currin stated that the object of the
| meeting was to consider the working of
the township roads for the ensuing year;
to see if the citizens desired the roads
worked with revenue derived from the
special road tax as has been done for the
last few years, or if they desired to petit
ton the next legislature to have the
question OF issuing bonds to pay for per-
manent improvements to the roads sub
mitted to the citizens of the township
This was followed by a discussion by
Lassiter, E. A. Powell, W. S. Parker,
D. Y. Cooper, J. r. Gilmore and others as
to the present working of the township
roads.
Mr.. W. S. Parker moved that a peti-
ton be circulated among the free holders
OF the township asking for a continual
ton OF the special road tax-ive cents
on the hundred dollars The motion was
carried, and Mr.. Robt Lassiter was asked
to secure the required number of sigma
lures of free holders to the petition. Mr.
Parker moved further that the Road
Commissioners be informed that sit is
the sense of this meeting that the Road
Commissioners for the township shall
use this money for the purchase of pair
of mules, cart and other necessary i'm
Elements, and labor, such as are neces-
sary TO keep these mules employed all
the time hauling gravel and otherwise
improving the roads,
1t was the desire of the members pres
ent at the meeting that the movement
for better roads should not be confined
to Henderson township only but that it
should spread throughout the entire
county. In order to get the county more
interested in this movement, Mr.. R. S.
McCoin moved that the chairman of
the County Road OF commissioners call
meeting Of the citizens of the county
some time during July or August for the
purpose of discussing better roads for
the county. Motion was carried.
1t was moved by Mr.. d. Y. Cooper
that "a report of this meeting be pub
lshed in the GOLD LEAF
There being no further business, the
meeting adjourned.

Dear Sirs:-Clothing is just like paint.
1t fits or it don t; it wears or it don't;
turns weather and water or not; and
goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did you
ever think of it? Different persons have
different reasons, no doubt, but one
paints nevoe for beauty, to be in the
fashion and keep out water.
Fashion says paint; we all paint.
There is beauty in paint; we paint a good
deal for that. And buildings are costly
and fashionable; put on a waterproof
two or three coats of paint. and your
buildings last as long as you keep them
dry. 1t costs nothing to paint; it costs
your building not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts; disap-
pointing paints are the paints that cost.
