Risks in Australia

An explorer in the back woods of Aus
tralia tells how some timber cutters
took big risks. 81 had given instructions
to the men in the bush that on no ac-
count were they to lay aside the fire
arms" he says. after having been alb
sent for short time l returned and
found that they had slung their revolv-
ers and carbines on a small tree and
were working at about so yards from
them. | can tell you they heard of it.
The natives have playful habit of
dragging their spears through the grass
with their toes and all the while looking
as innocent as it is possible for them to
look. If the natives had only thought
OF it they might have given the cutters
warm time. IN. Y Globe.

NATURA11sT1c NoTAr1oNs.

A bee can carry twice its own weight
in honey or wax.
Spiders, in proportion, are several
times as strong as lions.
When a fish loses any of its scales,
by wound or other means, they are
never renewed.
Bees are said to have such a hatred
for objects of dark color that black
chickens have been stung, while white
ones of the same brood were un-
touched.
The red grouse is the only really
British bird we possess. All other
birds found in the United Kingdom
are common to Europe and parts of
Asia. The red grouse is found no.
where outside the British isles, ex-
cept where it has been exported.

Great Revival of Buddhism,

Der Buddhist" the German organ
OF Buddhism, gives an interesting ac-
count of the revival of this ancient re-
hgion. The study of the Pail, it says
has revealed to educated men in the
western world the hidden stores of
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
constantly growing influence on
western thought, having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy of
Schopenhauer. This revivification of
Buddhist ideas reacted powerfully on
the orient, and newly founded socie-
ties, schools and newspapers in Budd-
hist Asia are proving that fresh vigor
has found its way into the old tree.
The revival is especially noticeable in
Ceylon and India.

HITTING CLOSE TO THE MARK.

The following paragraph from The
Cleveland .StarhitS close TO he mark:
The cotton mill owners in the North
are anxious for all Southern States to
pass anti-child labor ws similar to their
own. Already the North is losing pres
tige in the cotton mill business and last
year their mills were closed down for
many months. With the restrictions of
anti-child labOrlaws. together with OF he
burdens. the North il no longer able to
compete with the South in cotton ma nu-
factnre. and it would greatly delight the
North for our Legislature to pass some
measure that would cripple our South
eern mills and manufacturers. We have
an abiding confidence that the North
Carolina Legislature will not CRAFTY
them
Neatly put anhrorrectly expressed
There is nnrrin that paragraph than
he average layman would grasp at
first reading. And he belief is grow
ing that paid missionaries of thu
Northern mill Ownrrs are on the.
scene in North Carolina working to
the very end suggested by the fore
going.-Ralpigh Post.
The Post says the Cleveland Star
hits close to the mark in the above.
We think it hits the mark precisely
makes a bulls-eye shot, in fact. 1t is
simply disgusting and Encouraging
to see our people doing the bidtlin.
and falling into traps set for them
by selfish and designing persons.
This whole question of child labor
agitation had it's origin among New
England mill men, not for love of
the children working in the cotton
mills of the South, but for love OF
the dollar which they find is getting
away from them because of the rapid
development and strong competition
OF the cotton manufacturing industry
in the South.
The GOLD LEAF does not believe
child labor is essential to the success
OF Southern cotton mills by any
means, but it is opposed to legislation
airne! at this industry alone. This i
the entering wedge and when the first
step is accomplished, then the next
will be to cripple the business and
break down competition still morp
If child labor wis all they are after
it would be different. edo not favor
child labor anywhere, whether in tn.
factory Or on the farm-but W. d.
not believe there is as much in tn,
cry against child labor in the cottor
mills as we hear.

AN INSULT TO NEWSPAPER MEN.

1t is an insult to the newspaper men
OF the State to say that any cbange

would cattlse corruption and unduly
influence them against acting honest
ly and hoDOrably in any public or
private matter.-Raleigh Post
The newspaper men ask for no spa
cial privileges. But they do not want
to be fettered by useless and arbi-
trary laws of Populistic origin. They
do not want free pass~s" but he
privilege of dealing with the railroads

dividuals in their own way AZ may b'

ADISTINCUISHED
PHYSICIANS
Opinion Regarding Old Az.

A distinguished physician has recently
declared that 'Old age is not a time Of
life-a lene tn of years-but a condition
Of the bodily tissues. and it ia possible for
a man at 80 to seem older than a man
at TO-"
This is fact. We happen to know
a mother of 81 years. and q daughter of
60 years right here in Henderson and
honestly you would believe the daughter
to be the older Of the two. The mother
is alert, lively and active, while the
daughter is fast losing her mind and men,
DRY, and literally dying Of old age.
"The secret Of YOUTH" says Druggist
Parker, lis to keep the bodily tissues
from wasting, and the greatest discov-
| cry known to medicine for this purpose
is our cod liver oil preparation, Vinol. IA
it contains in highly concentrated form
all of the medicinal elements of cod liver
III, actually taken from fresh Gods liver
but without oil or grease. Vinol is III
ideal strengthener and body builder for
old folks, it repairs worn tissues checks
the natural decline, and replaces weak
| ness with strength as nothing else can.
"Vinol tones up the stomach, creates q
healthy appetite, makes rich. red blood,
and invigorates and strengthens every
organ in the body to it's work as nature
intended. VinOl ia indeed a great bless
ing to oil folks. and extracts from such
letters as the following prove it:
Mrs. Sarah j. Windrom, of Chicago
| ILL.,. grand-niece of Alexander Hamilton.
says: ''Vinol is a godsend to old peopk
as it is such a wonderful vitalizer and
strength creator"
| Mr.. A. j. Baker. Of Evansville, Ind.
says: There is nothing like vinol for the
aged. and he would not take q thousand
dollars for the good it has done him.
Il just wish every person in Henderson,
who feels old, whether they are old in
years or not. would try vinol on our
guarantee. We win give hack your money

VIRGINIA JUSTICE.

VIRGINIA justice is something to be
admired, approved and applauded
by all right thinking people. The
McCue case has been ample cause for
favorable comment. As the Raleigh
Times says:
The man whose guilt is as apparent
as WAS that OF McCue stands a poor
show of escape in Virginia. In some
States McCue would never have been
convicted. In some States CIuverius.
who was hung i'll Richmond, some
years ago, would lever have been con-
victeu.
But he was hung in Virginia, and
as for McCue, we would not give a cent
Tor his chances to escape he gHIlows.
When the press of Virginia believes
a fellow is guilty, he just AS we'll get
ready to hand in his checks. There
is this, however. to be said, that the
Richmond papers are calm. deliber-
ate and honest in the position they
take, but We do not know any State
IN which the press is such IL terror to
evil doors as that in old Virginia.
Sad and unfortunate as it may seem.

many townships in that county have

more than II dozen rural districts
