ciously Monday morning October 3rd,
with 81 pupils in attendance The
school was established more than seven
years ago and throughout this period it
has made sure and healthy progress, and

The very decided slump in the cot
ton market is causing the farmers OF
the South to get together for the
purpose of holding for higher prices.
The farmer who is in position to
satisfy his creditors even tcmporari-
ly can easily join in this concerted ac-
tion, but the one who is not is sim
ply at the mercy of prevailing condi-
tiOns. Here is and object lesson for
the farmer who is too much in the
habit of conducting his farming
operations on the time basis, and it
can only serve to emphasize the inn
portance of producing living at
home and making cotton n money
crop that can he disposed of at
pleasure. When the farmers of the
South have once learned this valu-
able lesson they will then no longer
be at the mercy OF cotton specula-
tors. And there is also another
great lesson in it. II organization
upon business basis is good for the
farmers in times of distress and de-
preston, it is also good for them in
times of prosperity and plenty. We
do not mean an organization whose
object is to fight other legitimate
operations and trades, but for the
purpose of contending for the farm
ers' own inalienable rights to receive
Just and adequate compensation for
his products.
Henderson gold leaf., 1911-10-12

The farmers will never succeed in
bringing themselves into a state OF
independence until they begin to
make their living at home and some
to spare. Let the farmers of Vance
county resolve to double their crops
OF corn, wheat, hay, peas, potatoes,
etc, next year and raise an abun-
dance of meat, and a new and much
better state Of affairs will soon be-
gin to prevail with them. One OF
the most ridiculous things in the
world is to see a farmer buying his
living at tho town store, and giving
all Of his time, energy and soil to the
cultivation of crops that are con-
trolled absolutely by soulless and
constituencies trusts. He thus en-
slaves himself and family and closes
the door OF hope to his posterity.
The farmer deserves to be free and
independent just as much as any
body else in this world, and he could
be so il he only would. Qc holds in
his very hands ali the essential ele-
ments of independence if he would
only turn them to good use and
make the best of them. Isn't it a
rather strange state Of affairs that
while everybody recognizes the farm
er as the very backbone of the coun-
try and all Others are more or less
dependent upon his success, he still
finds himself at the mercy OF nearly
everybody else? He produces on his
farm what all the rest of the world
must have, and still he allows the
other fellow to dictate the price of
his products. Who is to blame for
such a state of affairs? Is not the
farmer himself responsible for it?
At every turn Of the wheel, whether
he wishes to buy or sell, he is face to
face with a trust or someone else
who proposes to dictate the price
both ways. The only remedy is for
the farmers to raise their living at
home, keep as nearly out of debt as
possible, demand q fair price for
their money crops and hold them
till they get it. No farmer is in posi-
tion to hold his money crops if he is
much in debt or if he has to buy his
living from the stores.

A New Press and Outfit.

The Gold Leaf Publishing Com
many nlaced its order last week 1or
an up-to-date newspaper press anu
folder and a brand new printing out
fit complete. 1t is hoped to have the
new press and outfit installed ana
readv for use within the next thirty
days or six weeks ut the outside.
This will mean n larger and much
better paper in every way Tor liPi'-
dersOn and Vance county. AS soon
as the new press is ready for use the
Gold Leaf will he enlarged to an
eight page paper and its general
makeup and appearance will be very
greatly improved. The circulation
of the Gold Leaf in Vance county IS
now more than three times what 1t
was six months ago, and the CON
etantly growing subscription ilsC
makes n new and faster press neces-
sarv. There has also been very
substantia! increase in the adVertls-
ing patronage Of the paper, ana IN
order to accommodate this and at
the same time not infringe upon the
rights of the subscriber by curtaillng
the amount OF space devoted to local
and county news and other lmpor-
tant matters, which it is proposed
TO increase rather than curtall, "a
much larger paper is required 10
meet these demands. 1t was the
purpose of the Gold Leaf Publishing
Company from the outset to give
Henderson and Vance county one OF
the very best local papers in North
Carolina, and these improvements
are only one important step III that
direction. We have had some big
problems to work out and there are
still Others confronting us. We hope,
with the earnest and united cooper
alton of all the good people OF the
city and county, to be equal to the
occasion, but we must have this CO.
operation or we shall fail, at least to
some extent, in our aims. A good
paper such as Henderson and Vance
county should have snOt built up IN
a day or even II year. AS soon as
the patronage lustiiies, the Gold Leaf
will be issued twice week instead Oi
once as now, and later, upon the
same conditions, it will become an
every other day paper, and finally a
daily. Just how soon this will all
come about depends almost alto
gether upon the patronage and sup
port the paper receives from the peO-
pie of the city and county. In other
words, it is squarely up to the peO-
pie. The Gold Leaf Publishing Com
pany is ready any time to do its
part in these matters.

night that he will seek the Democrat

While it has been generally under

the race, his formal announcement
to that effect is of special interest at
