not have been as progressive as
he might have been, but every
body knew that he was a safe
man, and therefore trusted him
implicitly. AS partial testi-
mony of the general esteem in
which he was held, it may be
stated that no funeral in recent
years has been attended by a

Young Lady Wins Corn Prize.

At the annual corn show of
the Durham county boys club,
held at the county courthouse
last Saturday, Miss Addie B.
Ragan, of Durham county, was
awarded the first prize that has
ever been awarded to a girl in
the United States for raising
corn in competition with boys.
Miss Ragan, who is less than IA
years of age, raised 70 bushels Of
corn on one acre of land on which
was expended 81. so for fertilizer.
Miss Ragan did all the work her
self, ploughed the land and cul-
tivated the corn with a mule.

awarded to Leon Nichols, who
lives near Durham on route No.

MR. SILUS POWELL.

In the passing of Mr.. Silus

held in high esteem by a large
number of the best people of the
city. He may have had his
faults, it is true, just as all the
rest of us poor morals have ours.
but everybody respected him for
his integrity and honesty of pur-
pose. Being prominently con-
nected as he was with the admin
istraton of the municipal govern
ment for quite while, there
were those who stoutly differed
with him as to certain matters
of public policy, but we have yet
to hear the first man question
his uprightness and honesty of
purpose as a public official or his
integrity as a man and a citizen.
In the administration of the af-
fairs of the city he firmly be-
lieved in the policy of pay as

Villa ms-Gill.

Correspondence of the Gold Leaf.
'Rosedale," the beautiful
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. D. H.
Gill, was the scene Of a very
pretty marriage ceremony on
Wednesday, December the sixth,
when their daughter, Miss Mabel
Gill became the bride of Mr..
Harrison B. Williams, of Ra-
leigh. Members Of the brides
family, relatives, and a few init
mate friends were present to
witness the ceremony. At high
noon these wedding guests were
entertained at dinner, an old
fashioned country dinner. The
table was crowded with the good
things that comprise such a feast
and every guest enjoyed most
heartily the hospitality dispensed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Gill.
At one-thirty the guests as
sembled in the parlors which
were decorated in the bright
colors of the approaching Christ
mas season. Open fires added
still another touch of joy and
good cheer.
At the appointed hour the
happy young couple entered to
the strains Of Lohengrin's wed
ding march, rendered by Mrs. P.
H. Gill. The groom was attend
ed by Mr.. brewery Green as his
best man and Miss Mamie Ed
wards was maid of honor to the
bride. The party took their
stand under a beautiful arch of
green, where the ceremony was
most impressively performed by
Rev. N. G. Bethea.
The bride was becomingly
dressed in a travelling suit of
grey, with hat and gloves to
match, and carried white chrys-
antheums. The maid of honor
was gowned in light blue chiffon
over silk.
After receiving the congratu-
latlOnS and good wishes OF their
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Williams
left to take the afternoon train
for Raleigh. They were accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. P. H.
Gill: A delighted reception was
rendered the wedding party on
Wednesday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, few
miles from Raleigh.
Their many friends in Vance
county and elsewhere wish the
young couple much happiness
and the fullest measure of sue
cess in their united life.

Dabnev News Items.

Mr.. w. N. Wilborne had corn
shucking one night last week.
He made a large crop and the
shuckers finished about $50
o'clock. After the work was
done all were invited into the
dining room, where Mrs. Will
borne served the incest supper
one ever sees at a corn shucking.
1t looked more like a wedding
supper than a corn shucking sup
per. All seemed to enjoy it fine.
1t is said that the mayor of our
town was at the shucking, and
we bet he enjoyed it, too, because
we know that he did justice to
the supper but can't say what he
did at the corn pile. But you
would think he did his part at
the corn pile if he treated it with
the same courtesy that he did
the table. We have got what we
have been wanting for a long
time and that is a mayor. He is
Mr.. j. H. Harris and he makes a
good mayor. Mr.. Harris is all

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Possibly some of the business
men of Henderson have been
labOring under the erroneous i'm
preston that the Gold Leaf does
not reach sufficient number Of
people either in the city or the
country to justify them in adver-
tising in its columns. The time
may have been, and that not
very far back in the past, when
this was the case to some extent
at least. But we can assure you
that time has now passed.
The circulation Of the Gold
Leaf has during the past few
months grown to that extent
that no business man or firm in
Henderson who is out for in
creased business can longer afford
to overlook it as a means Of
drawing trade and patronage,
and those who do so in future
will only be the losers thereby.
The Gold Leaf now has more
than six hundred subscribers in
the city Of Henderson alone,
their papers being handled
through the postofice and by the
city carriers. Now, Mr.. business
man, will you kindly count up six
hundred of the best homes in Hen
derson and decide for yourself
what this means? If the city
trade is what you are after, here
undoubtedly is your means of
reaching it.
And you might be surprised to
know how many copies of the
Gold Leaf are now going to the
country every week. We believe
we are safe in saying that it now
goes into at least seventy-five
per cent of the good homes of
Vance county. Every rural route
in the county is loaded, and there
are large bundles at all the post
offices. About three hundred
new subscribers have been added
during the past two weeks. 1t
reaches out over the borders of
the county into adjoining coun-
ties.
AS an advertising medium of
real merit and superior value to
you, Mr.. Business Man, you need
have no further doubt about the
Gold Leaf. The question for you
to decide now is, Can you
afford to play a losing game with
your advertising competitor by
longer staying out of its adver-
tising columns and thus allow
the public to gradually lose sight
of you and your business? 1t is
strictly a business proposition
and is Squarely up to you.
Henderson gold leaf., 1911-12-14

Rev. J. W. Morgan, who by
the way is one of the most high
ly appreciated contributors to the
columns of the Gold Leaf, has a
grievance against the paper, we
are sorry to learn, and after hear
ing him state it rather patheti-
cally we feel that an apology is
due him. In the opening para
graph of his article on rotten
shows" last week somebody made
him say that for week or two
he had been suffering from a
rather severe attack of indiges-
tion," whereas he says he wrote
it "a severe attack of indigna-
tion." He would like for it to be
fully understood that his diges-
tive organs are in perfect condi-
ton and that he is able to take
care of all the good things that
are set before him. We do not
know where to place the blame
for the most grievous typograph-
lcal error, but we hasten to make
amends for it. at the same time
expressing the hope that no per
manent injustice or injury will
result from its unfortunate oc-

READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS.

Everybody should read the ad-
vertisements in the local paper
because it pays in dollars and
cents to do so. People who make
a regular practice of reading the
advertisements in the home
paper are sure to be handsomely
repaid for the time thus spent.
A prominent citizen of the county
remarked the other day that he
had found the advertisements to
be one Of the most valuable fea-
lures of the paper and that in
the run of the year he saves
many times the subscription
price Of the Gold Leaf by keep
ing a watchout for the bargains
and other opportunities offered
from week to week in the adver-
tising columns of the paper.
Most people in this day and time
read advertisements and find it
profitable to do so, but now and
then you can find a person who
has some sort of ill-founded pref
udice against it. The advertise
ments in your home paper are
very different from those usually
found in foreign papers and
cheap magazines. The adver-
tisement in the Gold Leaf are the
personal business messages that
your merchants and other bust
ness men send you each week,
and as such they are of peculiar
Importance to you. Did you ever
notice how much it pleases your
merchant to tell him frankly
that you read his advertisement
in the paper? Well it does please
him immensely as a rule. He
sees that you are interested in
him and his business and he will
at once be inclined toafavor you
in any way he can. Try it and
see for yourself.

While the march Of progress must con-
'tinue and every available means be
taken advantage Of to meet the needs
of an ever growing population, we
look with sorrow upon the passage of
such old landmarks of the country.
Many pleasant days we know must
have been spent in the store and in
the mill with Mr.. Sullivan, who we
know is a gentleman of the old school
and an entertaining companion.
Though the old mill is gone and the
excuse for gathering together past,
we know that his old friends will con-
tinue to visit him and recount the
recollections of past days. And now
that more or less of business cares
have been taken off his shoulders, we
hope that Mr.. Sullivan will feel reader
to contribute more of his interesting
narratives and "reminiscences to the
columns of this paper.
We wish for him many more years of

Manager Wilson Continues to Please
Everyone Who Visits the Moving
Picture Show.
Mr. Wilson, the new manager Of the
Opera House continues to stick up to
his promise to give Laurens the finest
series Of moving pictures ever shown
here. The class of pictures be-
ing put on are selected in New York
for hteir exec ptio"ally interesting, ed
ucational and instructive as we'll as
amusing features. They are the ones
featured in Marcus Leews chain of
moving picture houses, the largest con-
Germ of it's kind in the United States,
and they are by far the best ever seen
in Laurens and we'll worth the very
small sum charged
A few Of the scheduled plays are
the following "Wednesday, "Juarez
After the Battle" "The Water Beetle,
its habits and life in detail, and the
great baseball picture THE Star From
Bugville." The Crusaders in the
Holy Land" will be presented again
Wednesday. Saturday is the special
Western feature day. "The Trappers",
story Of the Canadian frontier will
be shown.

HOLD THE COTTON.

Cooperation is the only measure that
will keep the price of cotton to rea-
sonable level. But the cooperation
must be done by the farmers. Rush
the cotton to market and the price
will go down. Put it on the market
Systematically and it may boost it
up. To ensure any satisfactory pro-
fit from the crop this year, con-
servative sale must be made of ev
cry bale. AT this time last year the
staple was bringing II cents. Did
you make more money than you could
use? 1t is now bringing around 10
cents. What are you going to do about
it? Stick together and market the
crop slowly.
The demand for cotton goods is not
strong, Notwithstanding the long dull
period for cotton goods. Stocks are
low but the retailers are buying eau
tiously. The staple does not seem to
be in such big demand. Hold it until
it is and fair profit will be made,
but turn it loose, gut the market and
the South will again experience dull
year. Farmers and bankers, aid the
ones who are not able to hold their
cotton without assistance. 1t will help
you as much as them and general good
will result for this section.

ther and suggested plan by which
1t will be still easier to raise the
money. These individual subscriptions
are small, but 1t is realized that spare
cash Is always hard to get hold of. He
suggested that the payments be made
In installments, say one fourth down
and the remainder In three equal,
yearly installments. That would make
1t easier to pay. No doubt our banks
would handle the papers 80 that the
cash could be at hand
We think this Is small amount
to ask for such large project. 1t
can be gotten up IL only little lib
erality is shown. II we do not raise
that sum, we should hang our heads in
shame. Our people realize the great
benefits to be derived from the Library
and we have no doubt but that the
money could be easily raised.
Who will be the fist to put down
500 for the cause? We would like
to see five men step forward and offer
five hundred dollars without being
called on personally. 1t certainly
would make us feel good. II that were
done, the rest would be easy sailing.
Somebody come forward with the
first donations We want to make a
