ROOSEVELT AS PRESIDENT.
eoms Of the Prominent Achleve0oot1
Of the Administration.
Chicago Tribune.)

Chicago Tribune)
What. positively. has he (Roossvsao
accomplished?
He has handed over to Cuba the ssv-
ernment OF tho Cuban republic.
He settled the anthracite coal strfks
which for half year had dsmoraiAss1
the industries OF the country.
When Great Britain. Germany snA
Italy were attacking Venezuela he ID
duced them to desist, thus preserving tAs
inviolabiiity of the Monroe doctrine
The three commissioners appointed by
him to discuss the Alaskan boundary
question gained complete victory faR
the American contention.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty, woIeA
had been defeated by one Congress. was
passed in n subsequent special sesaisa.
because Roosevelt insisted.
BY the creation of a bureau OF Con-
merce and labor, for which his in4a-
ence is solely responsible. the Prssidsae
has taken the first definite steps toward
the solution of the trust problem. nghe
will be let In on the management Of the
trusts. Then, when their evils are ds1s-
itely, not vaguely, nscertained q proo0
corrective can be applied.
The door to China's trade has boa0
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring beneht 0o
President has brought to the country has
been the assurance that the PaaaAA
canal would be finished. In the isthniaD
imbroglio the President acted always
within the treaty rights OF this aatisaS
his ofYicial conduct was emmently coz
rect. But were il not for his exceptions
adroitness and vigor during the crisis The
prospect OF the interoceanic canal would
still be years in the future. For nsasiy
400 years man has dreamed of piercing
the American isrhmus. But 1t remained
for President Roosevelt to bring thsss
dreams within sight OF realization. His
tory will record his connection with the
Panama canal ms the most momenteus
feature OF his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has been ~
upright and painstaking, vigorous aAA
useful. honest and patriotic President.
1t seems both wiser and fairer for ths
American people TO re-elect him ratAse
than to elevate in his place an untrieA
jurist, who, however exemplary his psa-
sonal character has had practically -
experience whatsoever to fit him for IL
most difficult position in the world.

Letter from EPSON.

EPSON, n. c., February II, 1904.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-These weekly let
tiers may seem items Of insignifcance to
the majority OF newspaper readers, yet,
who knows but that to some they come
as blessings in disguise. Why, the GOLD
LEAF gained subscriber last year just
for the pleasure of reading the epson
news And were it not for this same
little epistle, how many would hear of
the following?
Notwithstanding the snow that had
already covered the earth, and the rain
and hail that were still falling, about 2
o'clock last Sunday, while S. W. Duke,
Esq. was visiting his sick mother-in-law,
he was summoned home to unite in the
holy bonds of matrimOny another run
away couple from near Cedar Rock. The
contracting parties were Mr. John Hayes
and Miss Zelma Sherrin. In very few
minutes these two were made lone,
after which they went on their way re-
joicing.
Mrs. B. F. Stainback is still very sick.
Mrs. Minnie Carroll has returned from
her sisters, Mrs. Ira Jackson, to which
place she was called to see her new niece.
Mrs g. T. Dickie is visiting her sister,
Mrs. Walter Johnson, down in the South
ern part of our State.
A Miss Robinson died near Gillburg
and was buried in Mr.. Ayscue's family
graveyard last Monday.
Mr.. Omega Ham has been right sick
but is now able to be out again.
| Valentine drawings have been the
amusement prevalent among the young
people Of Epson for the past few nights
regardless of the extreme cold weather
Some of the .'Dispensary visitors lost
their home last night and therefore hae
to be taken care of by one OF EPSON
| good citizens. VA. u.

Fire Sunday Morning.

About 10 O'Clock Sunday morning
the residence of Mrs. Willie Harris
caught fire and before the flames
could be extinguished the house was
damaged to a considerable extent.
Most of the furniture was removed
and piled on the snow covered ground.
1t required heroic work to save the
house and contents but Henderson
has the men to meet the emergency
whenever it arises. No town can
boast of better workers at a fire, and
the colored people are as faithful and
heroic as the whites. Nor are the
efforts confined alone to the volunteer
fire companies-of which we have both
white and colored.
The house was occupied by Mrs.
Jennie Davis and her family, Mrs.
Harris living with them. Mrs. Davis
had no insurance on her furniture
and sustains loss in breakage, dam
age by water, etc Mrs. Harris had
81 900 insurance on the house and
$3.50 on furniture. The losses have
not been adjusted but it is estimated
that the damage to the house is as
much as the insurance.

Henderson. n. C..

Dear Sir:-The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the world
is a postage stamp; and the cheapest
way to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do you happen
to know-it don't belong to your bust
ness to know about paint, you know
do You happen to know that most OF the
makers of paint stuff it out with lime
and clay and sand and water and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but not
on the house. They make more gallons
to sell or to buy; more money to pay Tor
paint; more money to pay for putting it
on; good deal more money to pay for
putting it on; but no more beauty; more
rust; decay; disappointment; loss. -,
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full measure
Yours truly,

chiefs who, a quarter of a century ago

made Red Cloud famous-the Fetterman

Wake Forest COLLEGE Glee {

The Wake Forest College Glee Club
and Orchestra passed through Hen
derson Tuesday going to Oxford,
where they gave an entertainment to
a delighted audience that night. This
is a very fine organization and for
the benefit of our music lovers the
GOLD LEAF hopes the Club may be
induced to visit Henderson soon after
Easter. They were in Louisburg
Monday night and the people there
were highly pleased with them. From
Oxford the Club goes to the Eastern
part of the State and will perform
in Greenville, Washington, Kinston,
Goldsboro and other places before
returning home. There are 20 young
men in the Club, lead by Prof. Eat
man and DR.. Cooke and they sing to
the delight of every lover of college
life. Mr.. Poteat's trombone solo, ''If
Only You Were Mine," catches the
ear of the lover and gives his soul
food for growth.

There is danger in cold weather because it
produces conditions favorable to the develop
ment of those germ diseases known as La
Grippe, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Consumption,
etc, These diseases are contracted while the
mucuons membrane of the throat and lungs
is weakened by Inflammation resulting from
a cold. 1t is dangerous to neglect even a
slight cold. Help nature to ward off disease
by using Rydales Elixir. This modern
