barber and handy man as porter at
most OF the social functions in town,
has opened a barber shop in the

promises to give his customers such
satisfactory service that they will
feel amply repaid for the slight incon-
venience of having to walk up stairs
to find him.

GREAT TOWN BUILDERS.
Building and Loan Associations as
Home Securing and Money Saving
Institutions.

Building and Loan Associations as
Home Securing and Money Saving
Institutions.
Every person interested in the
growth and prosperity of the town
should be in favor OF the organization
OF q Building and Loan Association
in Henderson. We believe nothing
would augur more for the future of
the town. Homeseekers, investors
and workers of every kind should be
interested in such an enterprise Who
will take the initiative in the matter?
The Free Lance, of Spartanburg,
=. C., recently had this to say of the
Building and Loan Associations in
that place:
The maturing of series of one of the
building and loan associations OF this
city, announcement OF which has been
made, furnishes a significant lesson in the
value OF small savings and their interest
and profit-making features. The sub
ecribers to the stock of this series get
500 for each $78 paid in, making a net
profit OF $22 on each share. This is an
average of 9 per cent. per annum in a
perfectly sale Investment. An investor
who had been paying $40 a month finds
himself possessed of 81 900 in cold cash
that he probably never would have had
but for tho establishing OF the regular
practice OF saving.
There are four or FIVE such associations
in Spartanburg, all managed by local
people who are safe business men and
the results are always good. Every man
and many women in Spartanburg should
have some building and loan stock, if it
isn't but one share, requiring the pay
ment OF one dollar a month. 1t not only
makes them save money, but establishes
the habit of saving and puts the money
saved to earning good rate OF interest
as fast as paid in.
The building and loan associations
have done a great work in the upbuild-
ing of Spartanburg by furnishing loans
to erect dwelling and other houses and
hundreds OF neat an cosy homes in this
city were built with money borrowed on
easy terms from the building and loan
associations and repaid or in process of
repayment in small monthly installments.
The result is that with a monthly pay
ment but little, if any, in excess OF what
is usually paid for the rent OF such a
house the borrower soon becomes the
owner with clear title to home, for
which he never has to pay rent. The
building and loan associations have done
much for our citizens and there are no
more popular institutions in Spartan
burg.

Says Druggist w. w. Parker, Simply
for the Want of q Little Strength
and Vitality.
Simply for the want of little strength
and vitality, said Druggist W w. Parker,
there are millions of people in this world
and large number right here in Hender-
son who are dragging themselves around
half dead and half alive, and it hardly
seems to them that life is worth living.
II want to say to every such person,
take Vinol, our delicious cod liver oil
preparation, which is not patent med
icine and you know what you are taking.
as everything it contains is printed on
the bottle.
"Vinol contains in a highly concen-
trated form all of the curative, life giving
elements of cod liver oil, without a drop
of oil or grease to upset the stomach.
Vinol will purify and enrich the blood in
vig0rate every organ in the body and
create strength as nothing else known to
medicine can do.
"Mr. NJ. A. Cassidy, prominent edu-
Gator and Supt. OF Schools, Lexington,
KY, writes: After using different tones
| and cod liver oil prepare tons on the
market, I find Vinol to be far superior to
them all and it's strengthening properties
are truly remarkable.
"'Vinol has built up my system,
strengthened my neryes-in fact, it has
| made q new man of me, enabling me to
take up my work with renewed energy
and vigor, and l heartily endorse Vinol
as the best cod liver oil preparation and
strength creator known
I'VE ask every weak or aged person in
Henderson, every person who is run
down, overworked, nervous or debilitated
and every one suffering from severe colds
hanging-on coughs and incipient con.
sumption. to try Vinol on our guarantee
to build them up and create strength and
make life worth living. Vinol will cost
nothing il it fails to give satisfaction; in
such cases we give back the money with
out red tape" W. w. Parker, Druggist

Remedy for Destroying Flavor Of Wild
Onions in Milk and Butter.

Mr. C. A. Nutall tells the GOLD
LEAF of what he says is an effectual
remedy for destroying the flavor of
wild onions in milk and butter. And
it is cheap, simple and beneficial as
feed for cows. tbs nothing more than
black molasses, given about a gill at
time, to each feed. The discovery
is not original with Mr.. Nutall, some
one told him about it, and he has
tried it to his satisfaction. There is
not particle of taste or odor in the
milk or butter from his COWS he says
although they eat all the wild onions
they want. And his COWS show mark
ed improvement in their condition
since he has been giving them black
molasses.

Keep the Town Clean.

The appearance Ut the town can be
greatly improved If all the individual cit
liens will give proper aid to the authori-
ties in their efforts to keep the town
clean. Rubbish and paper and other
things can be put away without being
thrown on the streets and it would re-
quire very little trouble to do this
Winston Sentinel
Henderson it seems is not the only
town afflicted with unclean streets.
But we doubt if there is another
whose streets make a worse showing
in this respect. 1t is not only mat
ter of town pride but of good health
and safety as we'll that the streets
should be kept free from rubbish, de-
caying matter and trash ofall kinds
Scraps of paper thrown about the
streets are liable to frighten horses
and cause runaway accidents. Rub
bish piles are unsightly and a menace
to health. There ought to be recep-
tacles placed at convenient points in
which to deposit such things and the
ordinance against littering up the
streets enforced. 1t needs no argu-
ment to prove that if the streets were
kept clean they would present a much
more attractive appearance, and we
are sure all our citizens want the town
to be attractive. Therefore we urge
that, beginning at once, all our peo-
pie make it point to help keep the
streets clean. The streets of Jerusa-
lem were kept clean when every man
SWeDt before his own door. and the
streets of Henderson can be kept clean
if every citizen will make it a point
not to throw trash out on the streets
and to aid the officers by co-operat-
ing with them in enforcing the ordi-
nances on this subject. There is moth
ing unreasonable in this proposition
and we are sure the business and pro-
priety of it will be recognized on re-
flection. Think about it and act on it.

It seems to us that the time has
come when there should be more
side walks in Columbia. For the
same amount of money, there is
scarcely any Improvement that
can be secured equal to side
walks, and in reality, scarcely
any other that is so badly needed.
With every street and alley gray
eled the rough side walks are not
in keeping. The safety as well
as the comfort of those who live
in town is involved and while it
may seem a little burdensome to
construct good walks yet, when
it is done, no one would volun-
tarily return to present conditions
for double"'ssthe cost. There is
scarcely 100 feet of good walk in
the town outside of the public
square andsaa past of that in bad
shape. Thesssscouncil may not
share any blessingsT Twhile the
making Of walks should proceed,
but afterStheslittle storm of pro-
test andsgrumblessspass off they
would be endorsed. Make walks
and make them before the snow

The agreement between the
representatives Of Japan and
Russia, at,Portsmouth, last week,
was welcomed by the civilized
world. Whether the agreement
was due totRussian diplomacy or
Japanese fmagnanmity will not
cut a figure in the great good
that comes with peace. The fact
that the beligerents have agreed
on termslof settlement, set aside
the cannon and sheathed the
sword is, of itself, sufficient to
make the world rejoice. The les
son inflicted by terrible defeats,
on land and see, may prove valu-
able to Russia while the brilliancy
of such victories to the armies of
Japan may invigorate their am
bition and lead on to struggles of
greater magnitude. 1t is a Mon
golian victory over Caucasion
people and may lead on to great
er struggles and bloodier wars,
at no remote future. To our
mind japanese victory means
more than assrnere settlement be-
tween the sstwo contending ma
tons, The rapid advance of Ja-
pan in political power, t he
shrewdness of her land and ma
val commanders, and the loyalty
and unflinching bravery Of her
soldiers and sailors, point to the
time when Mongolian blood may
unite and follow its ambitions on
the field of battle.
