Manning Gives Up Journalism.
Durham Daily SUM-

Thad R. Manning's farewell in
Thursdays issue of the Henderson
Gold Leaf was one OF the most pa
thetic things to us that we have read
since we saw the account OF his sick
ness. He has sold the paper and
must give up work on account of his
health. The parting with the Gold
Leaf, which he conducted for twenty
nine years and three months, was
like the separation from child of
his flesh and blood. We have known
Thad Manning during the life OF the
Gold Leaf, and longer, and it is in
deed sad to part with one SO closely
and so long identified with journal
ism in North Carolina. This move
is a painful one to every editor in
the State. They do not make any
better men than Thad Manning. He
has fought good fight; and he has
kept the faith. He has elevated and
frightened journalism. He has served
his town, county and State with su-
perb devotion and zeal. We regret
that the hand of affiiction has been
laid on him. But it is for some wise
purpose we can not now see. We
pray that he may soon be restored
to good health and fill mis- place in
the press columns of workers foT
which he is so we'll qualified. God
bless him and prosper him in all his
undertakings, and let His face shine
upon him and his family in all the

Still Another Big Enterprise For
Henderson

Henderson is to have still another
big manufacturing enterprise in con-
nection with one OF the largest al
ready in operation here, and one
that will mean much to the city.
1t is learned that about the first of
June the Vance Guano Company will
begin the erection OF a large accidu-
ating plant for the manufacture OF
phosphoric acid.
The new building will cost $50, 900,
and will be great addition to this
already large plant. 1t will give
employment to quite a number ol
men. The new plant will be equip.
ped with all the latest improved
machinery, and the building will be
a modern one in all respects. The
capacity OF the plant will be %, 900
tons annually.
The Vance Guano Company art
constantly rushed with orders, the
demand for their fertilizers exceeding
by far their estimate of the amount
of tonnage they would get out this
season.
The plant is now turning out two
hundred tons daily. The facilitie.
they have for handling materiall
with two side tracks, one on eithel

THAD R. MANNING.
AS Seen and Known by One of His
Neighbors of Long Standing.


To the Editor OF the Gold Leaf:
Thad Manning has sold the Gold
Leaf. Ah, well! Time has way OF
getting in it's work, and he has held
on for many years. | felt that a
word from an old friend and neigh
Dor would not be amiss at this time.
l want to pay 20 the living man
some part of the tribute We would all
pay il he were gone from us-just one
little daisy upon the milestone he is
now passing to show that friendships
flowers are in bloom and that MEN,
ory yet holds close and lovingly to
the friends of other days. For more
than one-fourth OF a century l have
known him-seen him, practically,
every day. In sunshine and shadow,
in prosperity and adversely, he car
ried himself serenel y above the
clouds His smile Was always in evil
dence; his handshake was always
hearty; his greeting was always
cheering; his standing always sure.
He loved his paper and sought to
make it vital with his personality.
This was so true that one could ses
the man in the very pages OF the
paper. He was not pushing, pre-
sumptious "blowharI" who would
thrust himself on the public or on
the individual. Ii you wanted him
he was always ready to be OF service
to any friend. The result of that ser
vice on himself was a matter of utter
Indifference to him. Poverty and
wealth were alike matters Of no con
Germ to him; he neither desired the
one or feared the other, and in his
work he never stopped a moment to
weigh the effect Of either when he
was called on 10 side with a friend.
He was not "a "hustling reporter.
with an eye peeled and an earprimrd
for scandal He was not II yellow
journalist; nor yet was he above a
kindly word for the under dog. His
paper was like bim-it was bone of
his bone and born in his brain. We
who knew him loved him and will al
ways wish for him every good that
time can bring.
There was a real love for State,
county and town always ready to
show itself in his makeup. He re-
joiced in the prosperity OF his people
and sorrowed with each one upon
whom trouble came. Home life and
home affairs possessed always the
chief charm for him. He went away
from home just to learn home better
than he knew how to do. He was
big-hearted, tender, kind and gentle
On occasions he could be severe; but
all the caustic in his nature was de-
voted to curative tendencies and
| never exhibited unless he felt that he
thereby helped to reform.
His timidity and want OF bold
self assertion was not understood by
all the people and some thought him
proud; but they cruelty misiudged
| the ender-heartedness of the real
man. That sickness has come upon
him thus early in life is a sadness to
all his friends; but we feel that his
vitality, unsapped by vice, will be
sufficient to put him again in the
race, where we hope he may yet run
long and gain yet other victories.

The Hog, the Dog and the People.
To the Editor of The Gold Leaf.

To the Editor of The Gold Leaf.
A good thing was done when the
authorities put the hog out OF
town. All agree that their habita-
tions were the source of disease, es-
pecially in the warm weather.
Why can not the same power that
removed the hog put from our midst
the dog also. He is a far greater
nuisance and as much OF a disease
breeder as the hoy, and for distribut-
ing disease he has the hog "skinned
a block" in the parlancs OF the
streets. Nothing is too filth for a
dog to eat. He will go directly from
the putrid carcass OF the fields into
the home, carrying on single trip
more disease germs than all the flies
of a summer and more thoroughly
infect the home with disease than il
it were encompassed by many hog
pens. Surely those who have them
about their homes must never have
stopped to think what a nuisance
they are. In this connection it is in-
teresting to note what the various
authors who wrote the Bible thought
of the dog.
He is mentioned twenty seven
times. He is spoken most highly oil
in st. Luke XVI-2I, but even there he
iS plying his dirty trade. How would
you like to have your hand licked by
a dog that had just applied that
''healing member" to cancerous
sore? Dogs are doing now just as
they did in the days of st. Luke,
barring the fact that they never
took ''joy rides" in an automobile
then; neither do [ believe that the
good mothers of that day ever held
one on her bosom while a servant
cared for her child.
The authorities recently said by
their official act that the dogs OF the
town were dangerous, and must be
kept off the public highways from
March Is until April Is ,I9II. Every
one who has ever given this subject
any thought will agree that dogs are
not only dangerous now but through
out the entire year. | saw some time
ago statistics from the health de-
partment of the State Of Georgia,
which stated that during the month
of October there were more deaths
from hydrophobia than in any other
month in 1909. So We see the dog
deals death at all times of the year
by his bite, and it is even more true
that he does by his disease carrying
prOpensities.
1t is to be hoped the authorities
will consider this matter seriously.
When they have done that, they will
surely put the dog where they have
put the hog-away from among the
people. For the dog is surely a nui-
sance as disease carrier and his
bite is as dangerous as the sting OF
the most poisonous serpent at
times. When those times are no one
can tell until the victim is raving in
dreadful delirium with hydrophobia,
beyond all human aid. If there be
those who want to keep dogs let
them do so on their own premises
and away from the homes of Others
and off the public highways

May Be a Three Cornered Fight.

4 press dispatch from Raleigh says
that there are persistent reports OF
movement on foot to get together at
an early date representative pro-
gressive Democrats from all parts OF
the State for meeting either in Raj
eigh or Greensboro for the purpose
OF putting in the field a candidate for
the United States Senate two years
hence that will oppose both Senator
Simmons and Governor kitchin, who
has come to beconsidered practically
an avowed opponent for the senate
rial toga worn for the past two terms
by Senator Simmons. 1t is certain
that the Simmons kitchin campaign
will be a strenuous one for DemOcra-
cy and, if it is converted into a three
cornered fight, the contest will be all
the more stirring. 1t has been the
impression thus far that Simmons
and Kitchin would have clear field
for their fight asex-Governor Aycock
has said he will not oppose Simmons.
