CIVIC LEAGUE MATTERS.
Department of Village Improvement
Society.

Contributed.
There is nothing that SO enlarges
the individual as a true thought,
concern and consideration for the
welfare of others
Equally, the truest development of
community is to be seen in the
growing self-consciousness of COM
munity-interests.
The organization of the Henderson
Improvement Society must be a
source of qualification to every one
sincerely interested in the right
growth and forward movement Of
the town in which we live, and whose
welfare should always be dear to
every one within its borders.
The necessary first-step has been
taken. Should not the next be the
deepening of the sense of the mem
bers of the Society that they have
undertaken to do a real work-some-
thing that is going to demand
thought, time, patient effort? Some
thing that is going to tell, and tell
permanently, and therefore it must
be quickly understood by all that
it is no fad, or caprice, or whimsy
notion. That the Henderson I'm
provement Society is not only here
to stay, but to work, and work 80
faithfully and broadly that the COM
munity is to be real beneficiary
and to be glad of it!
Where, however, all are concerned,
all ought to be interested. Would it
not then be we'll to begin a propa-
ganda, planning simply and broad
ly, to so interest all that each will
feel pride in.having such an insti-
tuition, and real desire to sustain
it in every effort to build up the best
town that can be devised?
Three objects instinctively present
| themselves.
1-Cleanliness.
Observation-Disclosures to
the eye-abolition of unseemly signs,
trees, beautifed open spaces.
3-Opportunity for intellectual
brOadening-Library.
No matter how much one may
love a child, there is more pleasure in
fondling one with a clean face than a
sOiled one. There may be respect
and honor in spite of ugliness, yet
beauty inevitably heightens every
other charm.

Raleigh Afternoon Paper Putting on
Special Coupon Order For 10 Days
From October I to the 10th, at Half
Price.
One of the biggest bids made for
business in this State in recent years
by daily newspaper has just been
announced by the Evening Times of
Raleigh. The subscription price OF
this paper is $500 per year, but for
period OF ten days only, from Oc-
tOber l to October 10 at II o'clock
p. m, they are going to accept year
ly subscriptions In advance for the
sum OF $3.50. This certainly is one
OF the most remarkable offers ever
made by a responsible newspaper in
this section. 1t is frequently done in
the North and West, but The Even
ing Times is the first to inaugurate
such a plan In this section. The idea
Is, according to Editor Simms, of
The Evening Times, that several
thousand new subscriptions can be
added to the list in these ten days
and collections made on the old ac-
counts with practically no cost, and,
therefore, it is best to give the sub
scribers the benefit of the quick work.
The Evening Times is Raleigh's great
afternoon paper and its leased wire
telegraph service and State news
page Is among the best. The idea Of
getting daily paper on a bargain
Tor -. 90 per year in this State will
be watched with much interest.

fishers.
The GOLD LEAF recently published an
item from the Charlotte Observer to the
effect that Mr.. Henry E. Harman OF At
lanta. Ga, was visitor to that
city, the special object of his visit
being to arrange with his publishers,
the Stone & Barringer Company, for

| press.
Announcement Is now made by the
publishers that this work will be brought
out early in October. The title OF Mr..
Harman's new book of poems will be
Gates of Twilight" and the public is
assured that this will perhaps be the
most artistic book diverse ever published
In the South. Many of our readers are
| familiar with the previous works OF this
| distinguished Southern author, and the
artistic setting given them by the pub
| fishers.
The Stone & Barringer Company
| brought out last fall Mr.. Harman's I'm
| Loves Domain" which has had re-
markable sale throughout the country.
GATES OF Twilight will be the most
pretentious book of verse issued in the
| South for many years containing the
| best work of it's author, whose rise IN
| the world of letters has been rapid.
The work will be illustrated in the
most artistic manner and the publishers
| will spare no expense in making it a
triumph OF the printers craft. The ap-
pearance OF Mr. Harman's new book
will be one OF the literary surprises OF
the autumn

The Shelby Star OF this week saws
Rev. Baylus Cade, ofBoiling Springs,
has gone to Philadelphia to look
after the assembling of his type set
ting machine which he hopes to have
completed by October 1st. 1t will be
recalled that a demonstration was
made in Shelby with a part of the
Cade machine-the type casting sec
tlon-a few weeks ago and the verdict
was that it met every expectation
and strengthened the faith OF those
who saw it in its ultimate success.
The GOLD LEAF is banking on
Brother Cade's typesetting machine
and when it is ready for business we
are going to journey down to Shelby
to see it in action.

ADVERTISE THE DEADBEATS.

Copying what the GOLD LEAF had
to saylast week warning newspapers
against publishing the advertise
ments OF the Bloodine Corp Grafton,
if placed through the so-called Inter
national Advertising Agency OF Bos-
ton. unless paid for in advance, the
Maxton Scottish Chief makes this
comment:
They took the Scottish Chief in the
tune OF $15.G4 before we turned our
back. They troubled Editor Branch
of the Red Springs Citizen, a little
more than they did the Chief. And
they are now working other county
papers.
WHY hasn't the Scottish Chief
warned it's exchanges against this
concern after being "worked" ITSELF
And why does the Red Springs Citizen
and other papers we know of hold
their peace after they have been
taken in by advertising deadbeats
Is it that misery loves company" or
because they do not like to confess
to being "beat" by the rascals? The
most cautious business men get
picked up some times-but when a
newspaper advertising deadbeat is
discovered we think it a duty one
publisher owes to another to expose
them.
The Apex journal says it cannot
sympathize with the GOLD LEAF In
it's "trOubles" with the InternatiOn-
al Advertising Agency, because it re-
fused the bait offered 1.-THE very
thing we have advised Others to do
since we got "hOOkd."
