Knowing that the business trans
acted by the post office and the rail
roads is a pretty COOL index of the
general trend OF business the GOLD
LEAF asked Post Master Jones for
some information regarding his Of
flee. Without going into details or
dealing in private matters he says
there has been Il gradual increase in
the business OF the Office, each quarter
showing an Improvement over the
previous quarter. Indeed, from pres
ent Indications Henderson may soon
be raised to a second-class office. If
the same ratio of increase is main
tanned during the next quarter, JAN
uarv. February and March, this Office
will be placed in the same class with
sucl, towns as Durham, Greensboro,
High Point, Salisbury, Asheville,
Fayetteville, Goldsboro, New Berne,
and the service will be more salts
factory because the extra allowance
for help will be more adequate 1t is
to be hoped that this will be Hender-
sons portion in the near future, and
then the next thing will be free de-

Mr.. H. A. Draper,
Resigns His Position.

Mr. J. f. McCraw, the popular and
efficient manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, has rendered his
resi- gnatiOn. effective as soon as he
can be relieved. to accept another
position. He will travel for the n B.
Handy Company, of Lynchburg, Va,
wholesale dealers in timers supplies,
sheet iron, &c, a position which will
pay him more handsomely. beside
being better in other respects 1t will
be source of regret to Mr.. McCraw :
friends and patrons that he is to
quit the service of the Postal Tple-
graph Company. No corporation
ever had a more faithful employee, or
one who looked after its interests
more carefully, and the public more
courteous and accommodating man
to deal with in any capacity OF this
kind.
Mr.. McCraw has not yet decided
whether he will remove his familv or
not. Their hosts OF friends hope.
however, that he will find it to his i'll
terest to make this his headquarters
and have his family continue to make
Henderson their place of residence.

to the fact for some time that the
Corbitt Buggy Company We're con-
templating building on the outskirts
of tOwn-sO as to get into bigger
quarters. Owing to the rapid growth
of their business they are compelled
to increase the capacity OF their plant

erection of larger works. With this
end in view they have bought prop
erty adjacent to the oil mills. out
near the Harriet Cotton Mills. and
will build thereon at once. Plans
have already been perfected and Il
$4,000 building will be erected. Thus,
enc of HendersOn,s most widely
known and successful manufacturing
enterprises, goes forward.
Mr. Q. O. Young has bought the
large brick building formerly the
Pogue tobacco factory occupied by
the Corbitt Buggy Company and
will fit up same and utilize it as a
corn mill This may be the begin
ming of big roller -four mill for Hen
derson. 1t is Mr.. Ioung's intention
to 90 more extensively into the mill
ing business and with the procuring

Makes a Good Showing.

We publish this week the annual
exhibit of accounts passed by the
Board of County Commissioners from
December. 1902. to December, 1903
By comparison with the last year :
expenditures it will be seen those for
1903 are about $1,000 in excess
This WAS due to two items alone. the
small poN expense and extra assess
OrS The cost to the county in the
small DON cases was about $4,000
and the assessors $500. Leaving
out these two items the expenses of
running the county during 1903
would have been about the same. or
probably a little less. than during
1902. Notwithstanding some i'm
provements have been made in the
mean time leaving the county in bet
ter shape than it has been for years,
all things considered.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the ustochian Tube When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or lmper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the inf1am-
NATION is taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous services.

case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that

suggested that placard be attached to
a portrait already there and an inscrip-
ton be placed upon it ditto Elihu Root. !"
This portrait is one of James r. Poin-
sett. of South Carolina, who was secre-
tary OF war from 1887 to 1841 Mr.. Poin-
sett's face as it appears on the oil can
vas bears striking resemblance to that
of ex-Secretary Root. There is the same
banged hair, slight mustach and little
side whiskers. 1t has been mistaken
more than once for the portrait of the
distinguished New Yorker.
Secretary Poinsett had a rather ad-
ventuTous life, and in some respects was
the prototype Of Mr.. Root in decision of
action. In 1909 he was sent on special
diplomatic tour of the South American
states which had revolted against Spain.
He had crossed into Chill about the time
the Spanish authorities in Peru invaded
it and seized and condemned several
American vessels. He had no time to
consult Washington for instructions; SO
he organized an attacking force Of Chill
ians and released the vessels. He was
prominent as leader Of the anti-Cal-
houn element in South Carolina during
the heated notification agitation there.
1t was on account of the spirit he had
shown in those troublous controversies
that President Van Buren, called him into
the cabinet.
