Oak Ridge Institute.

An advertisement of Oak Ridge In
stitute, Profs. J. a. and Nj. II. Holt,
principals, appears in this paper.
There is no better college preparatory
and business college for young men.
1t is gratifying to its more than six
thousand alumni in this State, that
Oak Ridge Institute will continue to
be a strictly non-denominational
school. There was at one time deal
on by which it was to be converted
into a UNCONVENTIONAL college, but
there has been hitch in the negotia-
tions, and the Messrs. Holt have de-
cided to continue the school as here
tofore by which it has been built up
through thirty-one years under their
management into one of the best
fitting schools in the South. 1t had
2S6 boarding pupils last year. The
terms are reasonable. See ad. else
where in this paper.

Grow Alfalfa.

Attention is called to the short ar
ticle from the kinston Free Press, on
alfalfa culture, printed elsewhere in
these columns. The GOLD LEAF has
from time to time urged upon the
farmers of Vance county the value
and practicability of this superior
feed crop. 1t has been satisfactorily
demonstrated that alfalfa will grow
well in our soils. 1t may be a little
difficult at first to get a good "stand"
but one failure should not prove dis
couraging. If at first you don't sue
coed, try again (plant over and keep
on trying until you do succeed. And
once the soil is we'll sodded in alfalfa
the rest is easy. Try an acre or two
this fall. Plant on upland-never on
bottom or wet land. Prepare the
soil well, enrich highly with stable
manure or compost as you would for
peas or clover, and your will bless the
day you tried the experiment.

Would "Dose" Them.

In the advertisement of Stedman's
&c Blood and Liver Pills, as it ap-
peared in the GOLD LEAF last week,
there was an error which, though
apparent to the reader, it is we'll
enough to correct here. The sentence
"Ask your dealer for these pills and
il he dose, keep them send us the
money and you will get them by re-
turn mall" should have read, "Ask
your dealer for these pills, and if he
does not keep them," etc. The error
doubtless occurred from the fact that
the printer used a part of the same
line which appeared in the ead-Easy
advertisement the week before, where
in the words ''Price: cents Dose"
were employed; Or he may have been
trying to "dose' GOLD LEAF readers
with Stedman's SC. Blood and Liver
Pills, knowing that he could not pre-
scribe anything better for torpid
liver, biliousness, constipation, indi-
gestion, and kindred troubles.

Alfalfa Culture.

Kinston Free Press
Last May Mr.. 7. B. Parker of Colds
boro, contributed an article to the
Progressive Farmer on the culture of
alfalfa. The article is valuable as
coming from a man who has himself
made a success Of the crop. And as
he favors fall sowing for the lands of
the cotton belt, the time is still ripe
for our farmers to think about "try-
ing an acre" next fall.
1t is needless to dwell upon the
value OF this crop. 1t is said that in
Texas the recent crop sold readily at
from $12 to $14 q ton and the farm
ers take from five to seven cuttings
annually from their fields. This is
only part OF the value of the crop
though, since it gathers nitrogen
from the air and thereby enriches the
soil in which it grows. With ref
erence to soils, Mr. Parker says:
"While it is advised to defer seed
ing until September Is, it is also adj
vised to begin Immediately to get the
soil ready for the crop. To get the
best results the ground should be
plowed thoroughly and deeply and
be we'll drained.
eff alfalfa can be grown successfully
throughout this section-and it
seems certain that it can bet means
a great thing in store for us yet. 1t
would give a great impetus to the
raising of eattle, hogs and sheep, and
this would all mean a more varied
and profitable farming"
Mr.. Parker has made himself IA
miliar with alfalfa culture, having
successfully grown it both at Hills
boro and Goldsboro. He desires to
be of assistance and will take pleas
ure in communicating with those de-
string to learn more specifically
about the crop. Try an acre of
alfalfa this fall, and see what you
think of it. You may make a failure
at first, but try again until it has
had a ''fair show

Patrons Of Rural Routes May Sup
ply Their Own Boxes.

On the first Of August next new
order, designed to simplify the reg
ulation in regard to rural delivery
boxes will go into effect. The Post
master General has directed that on
and after that date, patrons of rural
delivery need not purchase their box
es from one OF the 200 listed man.
ufacturers who have put upon the
market 800 different styles OF boxes,
approved by the department, rang
ing in price from so cents up to 81,
but may, if they choose, construct
their own boxes or have them made
to order, provided that in so doing
they conform to the requirements of
the department as to size, durability,
safety and protection from inclemen-
cies of weather.
In order to maintain the essential
principle that all boxes established on
rural routes must be brought under
the protection OF the United States
statute which provides penalties for
any one molesting letter box ''es-
tablished by order OF the Postmaster
General or approved or designated
by him." the modified order provides
that individuals who desire to make
their own boxes or to have boxes
made to order after their own design
must submit sample of the material
OF which the box is to be made, or the
box itself, to the postmaster of any
first or second-class postoffice in the
country where the rural service is in
operation, and the postmaster, il he
finds such box conforms to the
specifications and requirements of the
department, is authorized to require
the owner to paint conspicuously
thereon the words, "Approved by the
Postmaster General"

A Remarkable Discovery.

New York, July II, 1907.-An eminent
food specialist recently made the remark
able discovery that all the ingredients
entering into the composition of ice
cream could be reduced to powder form,
kept indefinitely, and when ice cream
was wanted it could be quickly made by
adding small quantity of the Powder
to quart of milk and freezing, without
heating or cooking, doing away with all
labor in making ice cream: and the pro-
portions OF each ingredient being abso-
lutely correct, the ice cream made from
the Powder would always be the same
high quality, absolutely pure and free
from disease germs or danger of pto-
maine poisoning No eggs, sugar, flaw
oring or anything except milk is required
to make the finest ice cream from the
Powder. After having been carefully
analysed by the Pure Food Commission
ers, it has been placed on the market I'M
der the name of JELL-O ICE CREAM
POWDER. Scientists pronounce it the
greatest step forward in pure food pro-
duction in recent years.

Visiting in Wilson.

The gifted word-painter, Henry
Blount, in the Wilson Times last
week says this of a Henderson young
lady visiting in that city:
Among the rare and radiant maidens,
who are now distilling such witchery in

toxicated with their inebriating pota-
tions of enchantment, we notice in the

ular Mr. Nutall on Broad street that
magnificent mould of rarest witcheries,

whose mission it seems is to make earth
brighter by her magnificent beamings Of
radiance, and to give to life in the mel

Send Copy Early.

We wish to impress upon advertis-
ers the Importance ofsending in their
announcements as early in the week
as possible The earlier the better
to insure proper attention. Espec-
tally is this desirable in cases where
changes are to be made. Generally
the tardy advertisements are those
which might as we'll have been writ
ten some time i'll advance. While the
newspaper is put to considerable in
convenience by this disposition to
delay, the advertiser is himself the
worst sufferer. The typographical
display of an advertisement is half
the battle, and the printer should
have every opportunity to do effect

Vagrant Law Should be Enforced.

Again the question presents itself,
Why is thevagrantlaw notenforced?
1t seems to be a dead letter on the
statute books as far as Henderson is
concerned, Notwithstanding the fact
that there are numbers of persons
to whom the law applies-lazy loaf
ers who are leeches upon the COM
munity, living at the expense of 9th
ers either by means OF "cathole
grub" or gambling and thieving.
There is employment for all who want

Best and Cheapest Plan Of Saving
Corn.

Instead of saving fodder in the
usual way by stripping it off of the
stalks, why don't more of our farm
ers adopt the plan OF cutting the
corn and utilize stalk and all? 1t is
cheaper and easier to save it in this
way and when run through cutting
machine Or shredder it makes excel
lent feed. Stock eat it with a relish
and thrive on it. This is the day OF
labor-saving machinery and modern
methods on the farm.

Governor Folks Advice to Mer-
chants.
Concord Tribune.

Concord Tribune.
In recent address to the retail
merchants OF Missouri, Governor
Folk said: ?
"No merchant can succeed without
advertising in one way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up, and they will build the town
up and build you up increased trade
and greater opportunities"
Which is a doctrine the business
men are fully alive to, though many
OF them do not get the benefit they
should from the papers, nor do they
support them as they deserve, and
as is necessary, in order to assure
their being able to do the best that
is possible. The business man is be-
ginning to see that newspaper adver-
Using is the only one the retail deal
er can get the results from, though
they continue, many of them, to bite
at every cheap scheme that comes
along and refuse to spend with the
local paper that stands for their
every best interest and for the adj
vancement of the public good. Gov
ernor Folk is able to see the great
benefit from supporting home pa
per and does not hesitate to advise
rightly.
When the World Goes Wrong.
Does evil still, your whole life fill?
Does woe betide?

Early Risers are the most pleasant and re-
liable pills known today. They never grippe.
