Oil Mill Sold.

In accordance with the ADVERTISE
ment in this paper, the property of
The Cotton Oil Company was sold at
auction before the court house door
last Monday at twelve o'clock, Mr..
w. NJ. Brabham, the manager, acting
as auctioneer. The property was bid
in by Mr.. c. Moye Dickinson for
$25,210.
A company will be organized at
once to take over the property and
rebuild the mill at this point. 1t is
probable that a forty-ton mill will
be erected at Bamberg, and all the
old stockholders will have the privi-
lege of coming into the new company.

Fell Into Error.

In the notice last week about the
coming of Mr.. L. c. Brinkley to Hen
dersOn and his come ction with the
Henderson Shoe Company. we fell
into a slight error in regard to the
future of Mr.. Andrew J. Davis, Jr.,
and while it is of little consequence
it is we'll enough to make correction
in the interest Of excepting history
straight. " The impression made upon
the reader doubtless was that Mr..
Davis had severed his connection with
the Henderson Shoe Company, which
is not the case. He does not give up
his connection with the store and will
continue to look after and cater to
the interest of his friends and Gust ON
ers as heretofore
AS regards Mr.. Davis connection
with the Farmers Warehouse Com
pany, of which he his vice president,
(J, II. Cheatham president and g. W.
Knott secretary and treasurer) he will
devote a good deal of his time to the
warehouse but not as book-keeper 1t
will mean enlarged opportunities and
increased responsibilities to be sure
but Mr.. Davis purposes to meet and

Mattress Making.

Attention is called to the ADVERTISE
ment of W. H. A Williams, mattress
maker, who has opened a shop at
426 Garnett street, near the South
ern Grocery Company, between Ivey's
meat market and John / Rorwland's
store. To introduce his work he an
nOunces q great reduction on mat
tresses and for the next 20 days will
make over old mattresses for Loo
each. New work at proportionally
low prices. The advertiser comes
as a worthy and Industrious colored
man who has had years ofexperience
at the business and is a good work
man. Some idea of the quality of his
work may be gained when it is stated
that in 1884 when DR.. Dixon was
superintendent of the Oxford Orphan
age he made 100 mattresses for that
institution, and recent enquiry re-
vealed the fact that they are good
yet-the ticks somewhat soiled of
course-but they are still doing
service after years of hard usage.
All kinds mattresses-cotton, hair,
shucks, etc-made to order and old
ones made over as good as new.
Work and satisfaction guaranteed.

A. & M. College.

1t is a pleasure to call attention to
the North Carolina College of Agricul-

greatly needs industrially trained
men, and the college is rapidly help
ing to supply this need. It's grad
yates are busy and successful in many
lines. Many of our farms show the
practical value of their training.
The railroads, public highways, draw
ing rooms and shipbuilding plants
call on the College for Civil Engineers.
Our lighting and water plants and
our machine shops are being manned
by its graduates. Not few OF
its men are experimenting or man
aging cotton mills and lighthouses.

themselves for their vocations at the

Hot Onions and Pneumonia.

Hot onions, according to a French
physician, are said to be sure cure for
pneumonia. The remedy is as follows:
Take six or ten onions, according to size
and chop fine; put in large pan over q
fire then add the same quantity of rye
meal and vinegar enough to make a
thick paste. In the meantime stir it
thoroughly, letting it simmer for five or
ten minutes. Then put in cotton bag
large enough to cover the lungs, and ap-
ply to chest as hot as patient can bear.
In about ten minutes apply anot ther, and
thus continue by reheating the poultices,
and in a few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This simple remedy has
never failed to cure this too often fatal
malady. Usually three or four applica-
tions will be sufficient
The above is taken from an ex-
change and is given for what it may
be worth. The late Mr.. Richard Mars
ton used to say there was no excuse
for a patient dying with pneumonia,
where hop yeast-hops used in brew
cries for making beer could be pro-
cured. His remedy was to make a
poultice of the hops or yeast in a
small bag of convenient size and ap-
ply it over the chest and back next
to the lungs as hot as the patient
could bear it, repeating the applica-
tiOns until relief came This he said
was an infallible remedy which he
had never known to fail.

Combined Cotton Chopper and
Cultivator.>

Mention was made in these col
umns some time ago of combined
cotton chopper and cultivator, the
invention of Alex A. Bullock, a we'll
known negro man and farmer who
lives in the Williamsboro section,
drawings and specifications of which
we had seen. He has had a working
model made and this we examined in
company with number of fother per-
sons while it was in the freight shed
here recently en- route from the fac
tory. Bullock was in town last week
and informed US he had tried his
machine in actual field work and he
is satisfied it is practical and an as
,sured success. He sees where changes
need to be made in some minor de-
tails to improve and perfect the
machine but as it is great satisfac-
tion was expressed at the work done
by those who saw it in operation.
He tells US it chopped the cotton to
one, two, and three stalks to the hill.
1t bar-sides, chops out and sides-up
the cotton at the same operation.
Themachine is drawn by two horses,
SU1 duulCS Ullc 1oW 1lu UuC OI1NCI
The amount of work capable of be-
ing done is limited only by the area
of land two horses can walk over in
u day-as much as the same horses
and seven hands can do, is the claim
of the inventor.
If this machine is practical, as it
appears to be, it will prove a great
labor saving implement and boon
to the cotton planter. Grant that
it does not chop to stand-that it
cuts up too much cotton, the hoe
striking in the wrong place, on the
edges of existing gaps, and the like
it will still be a great thing-a vast
Improvement over hand labor ena-
bling one to cultivate a much larger
acreage at less cost. With more land
cultivated more fertilizer would be
required, more preparation and seed
ing, but even then the difference
would be greatly in favor Of the far
mer when we take into consideration
the scarcity and unreliability OF
labor.
Whether in the factory or on the
farm improved labor-saving machin-
ery-the tool or device that takes the
! place of hand works. the thing to

You Two are Too Old to Love
Melons.

There are three words in the Eng
lish language which are pronounced
alike. TOO, "two." and "two," are
the words. To the editor who will
express this fact grammatically in IA
simple written sentence of not more
than eight words, We will send next
July one of the finest of North Caro-
lima watermelons. The feat can be
accomplished easily in a spoken sent
ence, but when it comes to writing the
sentence, you strike what in common
parlance is called "snag." Try it.

viii Try Capital Route Next.

A great deal has been written and
printer about the automobile trip
by representatives of the New York
Herald and Atlanta Journal between
those two points in the interest of
the proposed great National North
and South public highway. Last
week MIR. Hamilton Peltz, special rep
resentative. in charge OF the Heralfs s
White Steamer scout car, started
from New York at the same time Mr..
John 5. Cohen, managing editor of
the Atlanta Journal, started from
Atlanta in the Journals six-cylinder
Oldsmoblle Scout car. They took
what Is called the Northern route,
via Charlottesville, Danville, Greens
boro, Charlotte, the cars meeting
near the midway point.
Mr.. Peltz proceeded to Atlanta
with Mr.. Cohen and dispatch re-
ceived by the GOLD LEAF yesterday
afternoon from the Atlanta Journal
states that these gentlemen will leave
Atlanta at s O'Clock Monday morn
ing to try out what is known as the
capital to capital route, one of the
proposed lines of the great National
highway between New York and At
lanta which these two papers are try
ing to construct. The general route
as outlined in the dispatchis is ''Atlan-
Ia to Athens and Elberton in Georgia,
Abbeville, Greenwood, Columbia and
Camden, in South Carolina, Rocking
ham, Jackson Springs, Southern
. Pines, Sanford and Raleigh in North
Carolina, thence on to Richmond,
Baltimore and New York"
This route should take Messrs.
Cohen and Peltz via Henderson and
we hope they will have safe and
pleasant run across country. The
capital to capital route is by all odds
the proper one it seems to us-cheaper
to construct, and would be more at
tractive to tourists than any other
that could be chosen. We shall watch
with interest this second trip of the
Herald and Journal representatives
and await with expectancy their final
report on the most practical and
feasible route for the proposed great
National highway from New York to
Atlanta.

Aged Man Kills Himself. j..

Cornelius Shearin, 60 years old,
shot and killed himself at the home
of his son, William Shearin, near
Vaughan Sunday. Ill health and the
estrangement of his wife with whom
he had not lived for two years, and
the unfilial treatment Of a son who
had fOrsaken him, is said to have
been the cause oi~the suicide. A shot
gun was the weapon used. The man
shot away his entire lower jaw in
the attempt at self-destructiOn. The
wound was not fatal and going into
the house he reloaded the gun and re-
turning to the same spot i'll the yard
he placed the muzzle TO his abdomen
and fired, killing himself instantly. Mr..
Shearin, the younger, was away from
home at the time and when his wife
heard the shot and saw her father
in-law enter the house presenting the
ghastly sight that he did she ran out
the back door and to a neighbor's
Ior help, but before any one came the
desperate and determined man had
killed himself

Menace of Vagrancy.

Go after the vagrants and break
them up. Put them to work or run
them out. There are too many con-
sumers who are not producers-who
live at the expense of Others. Va
grancy is menace and ought to be
broken up. Idleness is the mother
OF vice and crime. Make the loafers
go to work. If they will not work
voluntarily for themselves Or others,
put them to work on the streets or
county roads for the benefit of the
public. There is a law against va
grancy, with penalties defined, and
the law ought to be enforced. And
while it may not be strictly enforced
as applied to each individual case it
should reach it will not be denied that
the law can be enforced more closely
than it is.
