The Automobile Race at Raleigh.

As stated last week Henderson
showed up we'll in the Automobile
Race at Raleigh on November 10th.
The machine entered by our towns
man, r. J. Corbitt, and run by his
young son, William Corbitt, while
only 16 horsepower two cylinder
car and supposed to be geared to run
30 miles an hour, made five miles in
s minutes and 80 seconds, a rate OF
1922 miles an hour. Its standing
fifth in the list with the high power
machines is quite creditable for the
machine and its driver
The GOLD LEAF is always glad to
call attention to the products oflocal
enterprise and industry and this pro-
duct OF our automobile factory is a
special pride to us because of the up
to-date results shown. No other
machine went into the race without
driver and an attendant to regulate
the machinery and assist in balancing
the car on the stiff curves. Young
Corbitt who is only Is years old,
never seemed to feel the need OF any
assistance. In fact his car went so
quietly and with so little OF ''fuss and
feathers" that it was hard for many
people to realize that the little ma
chine was only 1 minute and "a sec
onds behind the 60 horsepower
racers in five mile run.
We feel sure that this company will
make good for this demonstration
could not be made with 15-year-old
boy who carried the car over the
roads from Henderson that day and
run it all alone in the race unless the
machine had in it all the elements
that are needed in automobiling. We
congratulate to the Corbitt Automo-
bile Company and our young friend,
William. on the splendid showing
made by this Vance county machine
| and besppak for our Henderson fac
tory an investigation Of their product
il you want to buv a real practical
business car which will give results
when needed. That it made one-sixth
| better time than the factory claimed
for it shows a conservatism in the
manufacturers which is creditable.
! The boys of the rising generation
| are making good and we are glad to
see Henderson BOYS win with Hen
derson products and the good work
is going to go on.

Saves an Iowa Mans Life.

The very grave seemed to yawn before
Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, Iowa,
when, after seven weeks in the hospital, four
of the best physicians gave him up. Then
was shown the marvellous curative power
OF Electric Bitters. For, after eight months
OF frightful suffering from liver trouble and
yellow iaundice, getting no help from other
remedies or doctors, five bottles of this
matchless medicine completely cured him.
It's positively guaranteed for Stomach,
Liver, or Kidney troubles and never disap-
points. Only soc. at Melville Dorsey's drug
