Gold Leaf Cat Takes "Joy Ride

The Gold Leaf office has a cat-and
he is no ordinary cat.
'Da-mit "-that's the euphoniOus
cognomen affixed to his feline maies-
ty by his godfather, one of our print
ers, for reasons of his own-mllst
have read the proof of the article ON
the first page of this paper in which
mention is made of dogs taking 10y
rides in automobiles, and evidently
conceived an irresistible desire to
emulate his dogship.
The Gold Leafs automobile not
being available, he ensconsed him
self on the interior of the big cylin-
der of the printing press just before
the power was turned on to print
the outside pages, and like unto the
typical hobo except dark
Fortunately for "Da-mith the press
was stopped to adjust some trivial
matter, after a hundred or SO revO-
buttons, when he was discovered by
our "chauffer' and ditched, ga little
dizzy, but still in the ring" and ap-
parently none the worse for his "au-
tomobile Joy ride"
Had he rode through the edition,
or attempted to dismount while the
press was in motion, one of poor
''Da-mit's' proverbial nine lives
would certainly have been snuffed
out and gone to play a harp with
the rest of the ''cat angels" and this
shop suffered an irretrievable loss,
for we all love "Da-mit."

Secretary Woodelps Report Shows
Growth.

Mr.. B. H. Woodell, of Raleigh, grand
secretary of the North Carolina Grand
Lodge OF Odd Fellows, has rounded up
his report for the annual session of the
Grand Lodge to be held in Winston
Salem beginning May 9, and finds that
the value OF property of the subordinate
lodges has increased from $193, 725 to
$3.50, 14S during the past decade. In
addition there is the splendid property
of the grand lodge in the Orphanage at
Goldsboro, valued at 100000 and that
is now caring for 100 homeless children
at an annual cost of about $15 200.
The grand secretary says the order in
this State has observed rigid watch
over the standing of members and has
eliminated members to the extent that
in spite Of the addition of / GAG new
members by initiation and 2G6 received
by card and 35S reinstated, the total
membership in the State shows a loss
OF 900. He says, though. that since the
new year the gain is decided, $50 men,
bers having been added the past three
months.
The nine new lodges instituted the
past year were at Raeford. Hoke coun-
ty; Paulson, Cleveland county; Ola,
Haywood county; Saw Mill, Caldwell
county; Boon's Ford. 1ancey county;
Oval, AsheI county; Monkey, Wilkes
county; Broadway, Lee county; White
Oak Mills, Greensboro, and Walnut
Cove. There have been suspended lodges
reinstated at Clayton and Edenton.
The order paid out last year for relief
$50, 1896 compared with $112,954 ten
years ago. The grand master is Frank
Hackett, of North Wilkesboro, and the
grand secretary is B. FL. Woodell, and
assistant grand secretary, J. D. Berry.

Will Keep Hands Off.

Baltimore, Md, May 3.-President
Taft in his speech at the opening of the
Third National Peace Conference here to-
day declared that the United States
would keep hands off and not seek to
extend it's domains or to acquire foreign
territory.
The President made no mention specif-
ically of Mexico, but to those who heard
him it was evident that the troubled
situation there and the suspicion in the
South American republics as to the in
tention of this nation, in regard to it's
Southern neighbor, had inspired him.
The President had been speaking of
the recurrence of internal disturbances
in countries not 80 well able as the
United States to maintain order and
peace and had said that it was incum-
bent upon the great nation OF this hem
isphere to exercise their kindly and
peaceful influence as much as possible.
Zone of the difficulties that the United
States finds is the natural suspicion that
the countries engaged in controversies
have of the motives which the United
States has in rendering its good Offices"
continued the President.
."Asseveration of good faith helps but
little where the suspicion is real, and yet
like to avail myself of an opportunity
in such presence as this to assert that
there is not in the whole length and
breadth Of the United States among it's
people any desire for territorial aggran-
dizement and that its people as a whole
will not permit its government, if it
would, to take any steps in respect to
foreign people, looking to forcible ex-
tension OF our political power.
1--WE have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what respon-
abilities they entail, the burdens and
losses and horrors and we would have
none of them. We have magnificent
domain OF our own which we are at
tempting to work out and show to the
world. We have become a powerful
member OF the community OF nations in
which we live and there is, therefore.
thrust upon us necessarily a care and
responsibility for the peace of the world
in our neighborhood, and burden of
helping those nations that cannot help
themselves, if we may do that peacefully
and effectively -

New Entrance for Elmwood.

Among the things undertaken by the
Forestry Committee, of the Henderson
Improvement Society, (Mrs. stephens,
chairman) the most important, so far,
has been the raising OF funds for an en-
trance to the cemetery. Through the
generosity of many of our citizens this
has, to a great tent, been accomplish
ed. The contract has been awarded and
work will be begun next month. The
committee desire to express their thanks
for the hearty cooperation and gener-
GUS contributions already made. There
still remains, however, a small deficit,
and other contributions will be crate
fully received. There are few people in
the whole town who should not be d.
rectly interested in this, and to whom it
should not strongly appeal, for while
we look with much pride on the hand
some new buildings and various i'm
provements in our town, we should not
forget to do what is in our power to
beautify the City of the Dead" Those
who feel that they would like to have a
part in the erection OF this entrance to
the cemetery, by contributing some
thing towards it, will please notify Mrs.
Edwin Stephens.

Ex-Governor Aycock's rather la
comic announcement, IF am to be
a candidate for the United States
Senate, the people must run me-" is
regarded by many as being signifi-
can't of the fact that he really ex-
poets to be in the race for Senator
Simmons seat. Governor Aycock
is an extremely popular man in North
Carolina and would no doubt make
q good race as the peoples candi-
date, as u great many believe he is
the man for the place. But if he
should finally decide to let the peo-
pie run him for the Senate, it is very
probable that he will do some run
ming on his own account before the
goal is reached. Once in a while the
people of the State have habit OF
turning aside from the regular order
of things and bringing out a candi-
date of their own. But this is a rare
exception to the general rule, and
the man who expects to gain politi-
cal honors in this State may expect
to pull off his coat and hat and make
the race himself, with whatever as
sistance his friends have a mind to
render him. So if Governor Aycock
really has senatorial bee buzzing
in his ear, we may expect to hear
something more definite from him
before long In the event that he
should definitely announce his can
didacy for the Senate, an interesting
situation will at once be created.
