Both volume. 1t has good, clean
record, and is unsurpassed for energy
and good works. Brother Manning,
here's the best of good wishes for
you, and may the LEAF never fade.
Raleigh News and Observer
The Henderson GOLD LEAF has en-
tered upon its thirtieth volume. 1t
was established by young man Thad
r. Manning, who has been at the
helm every day since. He is not as
young as he was, but in heart he will
always be young. He is one OF the
most popular and useful editors in
North Carolina. Here's wishing q
blessed Christmas and the happiest
New Year he has known.
Wilmington Star
Editor Thad Manning, OF the Hem
dersOn GOLD LEAF, is to be cOngrat-
ulated upon the fact that his excel
lent paper or Christmas celebrated
the Doth anniversary of its existence
In North Carolina where general de-
velopment is yet in its infancy, the
GOLD LEAF is considered to be get
ting old, but it grows more vigOr-
Gus, represents more wisdom and
gains more trustworthiness the older
1t grows. The reason is that our
friend Thad founded the paper and
its substantial development is the
result OF a progressive evolution
guided by accumulated experience
and steadfast integrity. Papers
which have character and merit like
the GOLD LEAF deserve to keep on
living, and the Star wishes both the
paper and its esteemed editor long
life and prosperity without limit.

I'm up early this morning with face
toward the east, wat ching the dawn

| northern, higher and warmer jour
nev. | have heard that ones early
morning thoughts are his best and
| clearest, and | was cOgitating over
what Republicans have to make
| them merry this Christmas.
The first thing that occurred to me
was to congratulate my two friends,
ex-Gov. Bob Glenn and eX-Judge Ras
Jones, and myself, three statesmen
out OF a job lin craftsmanship that
we still have Christmas and a trlune
God. really had no fears OF losing
either, but when ] recall how they
"took on" in the fall OF 1908 at the
prospect OF losing both if the Repub-
iicans carried the country, | can't
help remembering as they and L sit
"outside the breastwOrks." that we
still have Christmas and the Trinity,
with our happy, laughing children,
Santa Claus, Christmas shopping,
homecoming and, even yet, two
months after "A quasi-DemOcratic
victory, plenty of money with which
to pay our debts and buy things at
Republican high prices.
Merry? Why, certainly the rosy
east never looked prettier to me.
When | think what might have been
the situation with me this morning
il | had spent the last 20 months in
sentencing blOckaders and trying to
decide whether Durham 'brOke' up

two months in shaking off clients
and winding up my business prepara-
tory to reversing the decision in the
case of the Colonial club, multiplying
the amendment and validating those
eleven thousand, eleven hundred and
eleven millions OF special tax bonds,
| feel radiant with lightness and with
10Y. 1t don't matter to me that
those periIs are still imminent; that
those things must he done by others,
for if there ever was any peril OF them,
there is the same now, though Jose
plus and his flock have for the time
ceased their baying. If it "must

"woe unto him by whom they COM
eth" let Us Republicans be glad that
we escape that woe, and are allowed
to go happily along our private ways,
one to his farm, another to his mer-
chandise
Be glad and merry, Republicans,
this Christmas, as never before, that
the country, and North Carolina in
particular are sick, nauseated, surfeit-
ed with prosperity. 1t is determined
to reduce the tariff and put down the
prices of manufactured goods, though
it closes the factories, reduces the
prices OF corn, cotton, tobacco, meat
and all farm products, and puts land
back to So per acre Since the world
began there never was such time as
the last II years to make and save
money and succeed in business, to get
and have. I'm glad Of that and for
all those who used the times rightly,
and as there are SO many folks who
don't want it to continue, who call
for the ''reprOOfs of chance to find
the true proof of men," | yield,
though reluctantly, to the change,
though it will bring unreliable suffer

Yes, sir; we are going from Uncle
Joe's auto to Champs mules. AID
Champ has actually said ALREADY
that he will not even have mules. Is
there, in the semi-classic iestiug If
Vance walking ahead of us?' The
point is, for us Republicans to econo-
mize and not waste, and to take care
of what we have If we do, the demos
| and the crateos will not hurt US as
bad as they will themselves.
! There is fun ahead OF us. even in
politics-bad as it looks In those
Republican states that went demos
crateos this year, they are already
| having the biggest brawls ever heard
of. | read in d Democratic paper
| that Mr. Bryan's man. Roger Sui
livan. of Illinois, had Offered Wool
row Wilson the vote of Illinois for
the Presidential nomination, if he
would let one Jones Smith, a political
boss, be elected to the Senate from
New Jersey. Tammsny Hall is
sharpening it's claws to stick deep
into the vitals of New York State
through the treasury at Albany. At
Washington the Western insurgents,
having voted with the Democrats to
tie the Speakers hands by a controll-
ing committee, the Democrats are
now at war on the question of who
shall constitute the tieing committee,
and they are fearing this committee
will tie everything else and be the
same kind of big boss they curiously
imagined Uncle Joe to be. They
hadn't thought of that when de-
nOuncing and dethroning Uncle Joe.
Yes, yes; the distress and gloom
and the wreck of matter will be some
what relieved by the gaiety OF those
who, if they can save their own es-
tates, will be amused by the armaged-
don of the demos crateos. And we
prophetic souls can look beyond and,
possibly skipping several Christmases
Of merriment and Joy, see the pendu-
lum retOred to its regular motion.
The will of the Lord be accomplished
So mote it be. Amen. May we live to
see it, and with it the day of compul-
sorry education, and courageous
people who cannot be stampeded by
fear of Marion Butler and Re-
publican Legislature and Supreme
court. BY the way, hearty thanks
to everyone of those 93,777 who
couldn't be this year.

On Friday afternoon, December 23rd
the children, teacher, few of the patr ons
and friends OF the public school in Nut
bush Township, District No. 4, enjoyed
for few hours, a Christmas tree. The
tree itself was thing of beauty. Being
OF holly it was feast to the eyes, with
its large clusters of cleaning coral ber-
ries, shining through the dark green,
glossy foliage.
A generous supply of presents contri-
buted by the dear little children to each
other, theacher and friends together with
the white lawn Christmas stockings,
through which the pink and white can
dies, nuts and raisins could be SEEN and
the white coral (pop corn garlands,
also the yellow oranges further enhanced
it's beauty and value.
As the children marched into the most
comfortable little school house, they
sang the hymn, Onward Christian Sol
diers.'' A graceful evergreen "Cross of
Jesus Going on Before" was carried by
Misses Jennie Fleming and Alice White.
