The constant cry in Hustling Hen
derson is for dwelling houses, more
dwelling houses, to accommodate the
people who want to come here to
live. Notwithstanding the fact that
quite number of good dwellings, are
going up all the while, the supply is
never anything like equal to the de-
mands. A speedy remedy for this
deficiency ought to be found. 1t is a
great pity for any town that it can
not grow and increase in population
at least as fast as it is its natural in
clination to do, but that is exactly
the condition that prevails in Hen
derson today. Instead OF trying to
get more people in the notion oil
coming to Henderson to live, we
might very wisely direct our atten,
tion for the present toward prOvid.
ing suitable dwellings, for those who
are already in that notion and would
be here even now If they could get
houses to live in. One of the great
est needs of Henderson today is a
live building and loan association,
and we hope that some of our young
blood that can control capital will
take the matter up at once We
would suggest that someone1hake q
canvass of the town at once, in dead
earnest, and see how many of our
people can be induced to subscribe
literally to live building and loan
association. If it were not for work
ing Mr.. J. c. kittrell to death, we
would suggest that he is the man for
this task. Or there is already q
strong and wide-awake firm here that
is now almost building and loan
association, and we believe every-
body would be glad to see it take
the lead in this matter.

The Gold Leaf hereby issues special

The Gold Leaf hereby issues special
permission to anybody and every
body anywhere and everywhere to
"chunk" brickbats and pineknots at
Col. Bob Phillips of the Greensboro
Daily News, and also some at Col.
Wade 81. Harris Of the Charlotte
Chronicle. Colonel Harris is bad
enough, to be sure, but that fellow
Phillips is just too perverse for any
thing. But, mind you, the Gold
Leaf does not propose to be held re-
sponsible for what you get in return
for the brickbats and pineknots.
Colonel Phillips was raised in a sec
tion OF the State where the boys of
his time got a great deal OF muscular
exercise and development ''chunking"
rocks and sticks at persimmons in
the tops OF the trees, and hence he
might be able to do considerable
''ch unking" on his own account.

Some two or three weeks ago the
Gold Leaf ventured the opinion that
the tobacco crop in North Carolina
this year could hardly be much more
than half an average crop. But
some OF the papers seem to think the

this matter and that there is going
to be bumper crop this fall We

There was once time, we are told,

lived in Hustling Henderson.
Strange as it may now seem, it is
nevertheless true. In fact there was
once a time when Henderson was by
far the largest city in the world, a
distinction enjoyed by very few cit
les of either ancient or modern
times. Through an oversight of
those who drew up the charter of the
town in its early days, it was encor-
porated a thousand miles square.

The newspapers of the country
have had great deal to say during
the past few days about a 71-pound
Robson county watermelon that
was sent to Congressman Goodwin a
few days ago, and the result will be
that from now on the Robson cOun-
ty watermelon is destined to be fam
GUS all over the country. Just an
other instance of the we'll established
fact that it pays to advertise. A
Vance county farmer brought a 6S-
pound melon to town the other day
and nobody thought very much
about it. Passersby merely remark
ed that it was a pretty good sized
one and went on their way. Over in
the Steele Creek section OF Mecklen-
burg county they grow them as
large as so to 90 pounds and say
very little about it. If anyone is in
clined to doubt this statement, we
can prove it by every newspaper in
Charlotte. But where the
Vance and Mecklenburg county
watermelon growers have been miss
ing it is that they failed to adver-
tise. Do you catch the point? Now
let some of them send President Taft
