Hiqht & Company Fail.

The announcement last week that
Hight & Co., jewelers., had made an
assignment for the benefit of their
creditors, caused surprise and regret.
L. r. Gooch was named as assignee.
Liabilities between : 900 and $8, 900.
Mr.. Hight is at home sick and an in
ventorv has not been taken. 1t is not
known therefore what the assets
are. but the impression is that they
will fall considerably short OF th" in
debtedness. Much OF what Mr.. Hight
owes is for borrowed money-money
with which to meet maturing bills
and avert the crash which came in
evitably.
There is general sympathy felt for
Mr.. Hight. He conducted Il first-class
jewelry store and catered to the best
class of patronage. His place would
do credit to any town and WAS n
~our.'e of pride to the people Of the
community as we'll us himself. In the
quality, variety and extent of stock
r:,rri4d tx where the mistake was made
perhaps.
f.; f. Hight has been in business in
Henderson for twenty years, and has
established ii reputation as IL reliable
dealer and an honest man. He has
stood before the community as man
of correct habits. high character and
nnquestioned honesty. The GOLD
LEAF does not believe that overcome
by Misfortune he is any less so than
shen fortune smiled upon him.

veniremen in Capital Cases.
Wilmington Messenger.

w tOH MtSStfiStE
1t is a great pity that for the past sew
eral years a murder trial can't come off
in North Carolina without the county
where the case to be tried is thoroughly
canvassed by shrewd men for the purpose
Of moulding sentiment in favor of the de-
fendant and fixing jurors and witnesses
to be ''monkeyed with on trial." The
country is in dangerous condition when
snch schemes are permitted to go on
without being exposed. Let us all hope
that Davidson county will not be thus
disgraced in the fature.-Lexington Dis
patch.
The above is one of the strongest
arguments that could be made in
favor Of the bill now pending in the
legislature providing for the summon
ing of IL vpnire from some other county
for the trial OF a capital case. This
law should be SO framed that the
Judge can order the jurors to be sum-
mOned from any county in that sec
ton Of the State. This law has been
in force in Virginia for some time, and
perhaps in other states, and has been
found to work we'll and to save ex-
pense to the State. There can be no
working up of sentiment for or
against the defendant as now can be
done where the case is moved to a
certain county months before the
trial ia held. This is one of the most
important bills that has been intro
duced in this legislature and we hope
the members of that body will recog-
nize its Importance.

Concert at B0bbitt.

Quite an interesting and enjoyable
entertainment was given at the Bob

honor of Westinghouse birthday.
The stage was decorated with the
national colors and right much OF the
programme was in keeping with the
life of the father or our country.
The programme ended with Il play,
"a Perplexing Situation" which was
very much enjoyed. Where all did SO

The band consisting of the Finch

to have the Chairman of the Board

Death of Mrs. Norwood.

Mrs. r. II. Norwood died at her
home in this place about ) o'clock
Friday morning, aged - Years. She
wiS sick but a short wlile-snffering
from an attack o: something like
acute Indigestion. But few of her
friends knew of her sickness and the
announcement of her death was a
surprise and shock to them. Mrs.
Norwood had been IL resident of Hen
derson a number ofyears coming here
from Warrenton. She taught school
a long while and many OF her former
pupils are numbered among the
Young men and women of the town
She was Il good woman. Il consistent
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and was greatly esteemed by
those who knew her. Just one year
ago. on the second of March, 1904,
Mr.. Norwood died. There was no
children by this union but she leaves
a number of other relations.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at 1 o'clock Saturday morning

The Valuation of Lands in Vance
County.

We some times hear people say the
valuation of lands in Vance county is
too high. This may be true in some
cases but we have always commended
that a higher valuation and a lower
tax rate ought to be adopted. This
would not work any greater hard
ship on the tax payers-the amount
paid being the same-while it would
make better showing on the taxa
ble property-the wealth of the
county. Take the following cases for
illustration: There were sold a few
days ago couple of tracts of land in
kittrell township, one of which was
valued at $500 and the other at So
90. The first mentioned piece con-
sisted ofeiyhty odd acres and brought
$23 an acre. Mr.. Pryor Smith was
the seller ana Mr.. Henry Finch was
the purchaser. Then Mr.. Smith
bought the old Blacknall home place,
366h acres, OF Misses Bette and Gus
sic Blarknall paving in round num-
bers "a, 5OO-nearly $3.50 an acre
therefor.

PROF. FALCONER
Superinte ndent Of Public Schools.
Waterford, ~. ", Advises all Run
Down, Debillated People to take
VlnOl.

From men of different professions all
over the country come such enthusiastic
ords Of praise for our famous cod liver
oil preparation, Vinol, that there is abso-
lutely no room for doubt regarding it's
virtue.
Prof Falconer writes: "For some time
suffered with general debility and run
down, depleted system. / tried many
remedies without benefit; but Vinol has
built up my rundown system and made
me well and strong. l consider Vinol
the most valuable preparation OF cod
liver oil, the best tonic, strengthened and
body builder known to medicine, and |
heartily recommend it to every person
in need of a good blood tonic and vitality
maker"
Our Vinol cures conditions like this be-
cause it contains in concentrated form
all the vital principles OF cod liver oil, but
not a drop OF oil to nauseate and upset
the stomach and retard its work. Ninol
is delicious to the taste.
We guarantee that Vinol will create
strength for old people, weak. sickly
women and children. and after severe
sickness as nothing else can.
Vinol will also cure hacking coughs,
chronic colds, all throat and bronchial
| troubles. We return money If it fails

Coed Roads in North Carolina.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Under the above caption the Rich
mold Times Dispatch pays this COM
pliment to progressive North Caro-
lima county:
Recently a committee from the Good
Roads Convention, held at Danville on
Jan. 31st, went to Mecklenburg county,
n. c., to investigate the roads of that
community. Mr.. W. \. Ruffin, chairman
OF the committee, reports that the COM
mittee drove eight miles over macadam
road, which was ten years old, and as
smooth as brick-paved streets. He met
a number OF teams OF various descriptions
and says that the coneensus of opinion
among the delegates was that on these
roads the limit of load is what the
wagon will bear. They were informed
that the county had in camp forty-four
convicts, the cost being % cents per head
per day for food, clothing and guard.
Besides the superintendent there are four
guards. who control the convicts with
out difficulty. and the system has proven
to be satisfactory. Mr. Ruffin further re-
ports that Mecklenburg county has built
145 miles of macadam road at a cost of
300. 600. OF this sum $500. 900 is paid
to citizens of the county for supplies and
has, therefore. come back into general
circulation among the home people. The
road tax in Mecklenburg county, which
includes both roads and bridges. is %
cents on the 500 OF assessed waite, and
Mr.. Ruffin says that the increased value
OF lands has paid the cost Of road i'm
prOvement, the increase being not less
than 30 per cent, and near the maeadam
road very much more
1T is hardly necessary to say that the
people OF Mecklenburg county pay this
tax willingly. Most men are willing to
pay for any desirable public improvement
when they see suitable return on the
investment. But when they know that
the money which they are paying is
wasted, naturally they are resentful, and
feel more like cutting the tax rate down
than increasingly Wehave spent enough
money in Virginia since the war to have
given us a fine system OF roads. But as
rule the counties have little or nothing
to show for the money expended"
According to figures in the above,
Mecklenburg's good roads cost about
30, 76O a mile. They are mOdelroads
and the Mecklenburg system of build
ing highways is patterned after all
over the South. We saw recently a
statement in the Charlotte Chronicle
that when the counties OF the South
ern States decide to build good roads
they send representatives to Mecklen-
burg to get onto her methods.

Paragraphic Pabulum from the Raj.
eiqh Morning Pest.

The jewel of consistency is receiving
some pretty hard knocks just now
Is the principle OF free thought and
free speech copyrighted thing?
Is the everlasting principle OF the
freedom of thought and speech to he
read ont of the Democratic party?
When a man accepts position as
member of the executive committee
of a political party, does he become
an automaton?
Appearances are deceptive. OF
course the legislature has something
to do besides the regulation of few
small towns in the State.
When, and under what circumstan-
ces can a member of the executive
committee express an opinion with
out being subject to criticism?
Sometimes a man assumes an air
OF supreme Importance, and an arro-
CANT attitude of indifference simp Y
because he is afraid of the other fell
low.
When man believes and talks one
way and acts another is the time for
criticism to assert itself; not when he
is honestly strivingt to carry out cam
paign promises.
Why should those who are willing
to die for the immortal principle Of
free speech act ugly toward others
who merely show a disposition to
exercise it? Oh, consistency, where
art thou?
It's better to make up your mind
and believe something and holler for
it than to wait forsomebody to come
along and tell you what is right
from their standpoint-and swallow
that. Men who think for themselves
is an item OF which there is not an
overproduction.
While we are about it why not call
for some further Interpretation of the
principle OF free speech-that princi-
pie for which men are willing to be-
come martyrs and suffer the igno-
miny Of goingt to Jail. BY all means let
somebody compose n few stirring
sentences about that immortal prin-
ciple. 1t may be slightly at variance
with certain policies at the present
times; but consistency is such a pre-
cious jewel. that no one should object
to keeping it bright.
