hlIil ana lumber plant here. The

cradle number of lsborers. Mr.. ".

local manager and will move his

Will occupy the dwelling of Mrs. Lat

Every farmer in the county should
read the article on the first page of
TINS weeks paper on lightning rods.
1t Is subject worthy of the most
careful investigation, and the article
Referred to throws much light upon
1t. There can be no doubt that
lightning rods, when properly con
structed and put up, are a great
protection against the destructive
effects OF lightning, and still there is
no little uniustifiable prejudice
against them.
Banks Methodist church, on the
tranklintOn circuit, was dedicated
last Saturday and Sunday. Four of
the former pastors were present and
took part in the exercises. The new
church is splendid one, Roman
esque in design, costing $500, with
ample accommodation for Sunday
school work as we'll as for church
services. This has been a place of
worship for 10 years and has had a
great history. 1t now faces the fu-
ture with the hope of being even
more useful
There are getting to be entirely
too many night burglaries in Hen
deroOn. Several residences have re-
Gently been entered at night and
provisions and other articles stolen.
1t might not be amiss for everybody
to be in a state of preparedness for
u visit OF this sort most any night,
and the citizen who first succeeds in
filling a burglar with a load of shot
or it's equal will deserve the thanks
OF the general public. Your house
may be the next one to be visited by
these night prowlers
In the absence Of the pastor, Rev.
j. A. Mcclure, on the fourth Sunday
Mr.. Samuel Watkins made u talk to
the congregation at BrOOkstOn
Chapel that was interesting to and
highly appreciated by the members
of that church. In his talk Mr.. Wat
kins gave some practical advice 10
regard to the avoidance of certain
forms OF amusement by church mem
| bers. There is good lively Sunday
school at this church, and Mr.. Ed
Hines and Mr.. l. b. Gary have done
good work in this school.
Miss Sallie Maynard died Saturday
afternoon at the home of her nephew,
Mr.. Thomas Floyd, in the cOmmu-
nifty of Flat Rock church. She was
50 years old and was member of
Poplar Creek Baptist church. The
funeral services were conducted from
Flat Rock Methodist Protestant
church Sunday afternoon by Rev.
r. c. Stubbins and the burial was in
the cemetery at that place. Follow
ing were the pail bearers: Messrs
Peter Hester, Frank WOrtham, E.
B. Wiggins, K. d. Turner, A. p. Mus
| tian and T. B. Parham, Jr.
Last week the Gold Leaf had a lit
| tie story about two Vance county
ladies presenting Mr.. Henry Clay
with silk vest at Raleigh in 1914
/ The Greenville Daily Reflector copied
| the story, and it's editor says that a
few weeks ago he had the pleasure to
sit for an hour and hear Col. N. H.
/ Hammond, of Bethel, one of Pitts
oldest and most distinguished citi-
zens, relate Incidents of lifelong ago
One of the things he told about with
much interest was this visit of Henry
Clay to North Carolina in 1914, and
the famous speech in Raleigh. Mr.
Hammond heard the speech and can
yet tell many things said in it. He
saw the silk vest presented to Mr..
Clay, and described it as one of the
most beautiful vests he ever beheld.
General tariff legislation at this
session of Congress, so as to leave
the responsibility for any delay in
tariff revision squarely upon the
| President, is the slogan of the Demo
cratic-progressiye coalition in the
Senate and the Democrats in the
House. The President is accredited
with being as determined as ever to
veto any tariff bill passed by Con
gress prior to the submission of the
report of the tariff board to Congress
at the regular session in December.
Meantime the Democrats, continuing
to press their revision measures, are
wondering what the President will
do when the wool bill, emerging from
conference with lower duties than the
LaFollette final compromise. goes to
the White House for approval or
veto. 4
According to previous announce
ment, Dr. s. c. Gardner, OF the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary of Louisville, Ky, delivered a
very strong lecture in the Methodist
Episcopal church last night on The
Social Problem and Its Relation to
the Church" The able and distin-
guished speaker took unusually high
ground and presented some very
great truths for the consideration OF
his hearers We shall not do him
the injustice to attempt a brief
synopsis of his address, and to print
it in full, which we have neither the
space nor the time to do this morn
ing. would still hardly do him full
: Justice. 20 appreciate it fully, one
should hear it and get the speaker s
personality along with the great
3 truths he presents SO clearly and
: forcibly. We only regret that every
4 body in Henderson did not hear him
/ last night. A fairly good audience
' greeted Dr. Gardner, and everyone
: must have gone away feeling that
i the time could hardly have been
g spent to better advantage.
Miss Maggie Suggs, of Green coun
ty, was burned to death Sunday or
