Monopoly of Gable
Business impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Maekay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease o. contract, operat-
ing control Of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as n system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
5ystem.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for n
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
rams Atlantic cable business:
I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more Efficient and econom-
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations Of both
cables and land lines.
2-PUBLIC GEES. The
greater part Of the cable capacity has
been and is now untitled. 1t will
continue to lie dormant and untitled
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by mean of new kinds
Of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends &c nationaiize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic
cable companies.

Turner Jones.
Contributed to the Gold Leaf }

!
Seldom, if ever, has our community
been SO grieved and shocked as it
was on Monday of last week when
the sad news of the passing away OF
| Turner Jones, second son of Mr..
Pryce r. and Mrs. Bette Corbitt
Jones, was passed about, an account
of which was published in last week 8
Gold Leaf.
Scarce could it be realized that
this excellent young man, who was
going about among his friends and
loved ones with his accustomed
happy face and cheerful smile only
the day before, had been so suddenly
called to join the angelic choir of
the Saints, and many were the sad
dened hearts on that day, as in
low whispers our people asked each
other: Can it be true that Turner
Jones is dead?"
He was apparently AZ we'll as usual
on Sunday, but at night he was
taken with a severe headache, which
rapidly developed into meningitis,
and at about II o'clock the follow
ing day his sufferings, which were
very acute despite all that medical
skill and the loving ministratiOn of
relatives and friends could do, were
DER, and he was peacefully sleeping
in the arms of Jesus.
A better boy, in every sense OF the
word, | never knew He was without
guile and without malice. Consider
alton for Others, devotion to duty
and q self-sacrificing nature were
sublime traits of his character. He
was a gentleman-in the fullest ac-
ceptation Of the term. He had a
high sense Of honor and scorned to
do little thing. Modest and unas-
Stunning, it was only those who were
brought into intimate association
with him who knew the innate good
hess and true worth of this noble
boy.
Eve scanned the actions OF his daily life
/ With all the industrious insight of a friend
And nothing meets my eye but deeds OF
| honor"
OF cheerful and happy tempera-
ment, around the fireside, at his
business, and in his daily intercourse
with the business public his wit
flowed freely, yet he was never known
to inflict needless wound upon the
feelings of the most sensitive.
From the time he was wee fodder
he had been attending the annual en-
campments OF the North Carolina
National Guard with the Vance
Guards, and was a member of that
company at the time of his death.
He was known and loved throughout
| the entire State Guard
lie was Just entering young man
hood, being about 10 years old, and
had bright hopes for a successful fut-
ure. He was the junior member Of
the firm OF TOMBSTONE Printing Co.,
being secretary and treasurer of
that organization.
Loved by alt who knew him, it is
no wonder that his adoring parents
and fond brother and sisters were 80
completely wrapped up in him. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to them in their sad bereave-
ment, and the people of our town
universally sorrow with them.
AS an attestation OF the love and
esteem in which he was held, the
Church of the Holy Innocents was
filed to overlooking at his funeral
and the floral offerings were among
the most beautiful and numerous
ever before seen here.
God rest his noble soul. S.

Our attention has been called to
the fact that District Attorney Hol-

Carolina, proposes to have the
whiskey that il being shipped into
this State analysed under the pure
food and drug law. For our part,
if mean and poisonous stuff must be
shipped here by outside dealers who
have been forced by our own prohl-
bition laws to get beyond our Dor
ders, we hope that Mr.. HOltOn may
succeed in having a rigid analysis
made and the rascals who thus VlO-
late the law vigorously prosecuted,

able effort and determination to rid
the State OF the contemplate stun
that is shipped here in the name OF
pure whiskey, when in reality much
of it is only poisonous and dan
gerous connection that probably
never saw stillhouse or stillworm.
Pure whiskey is bad enough, but
everybody knows it is not half as
dangerous and hurtful rs the adul-
terated and poisonous stuff that
comes only in the name of whiskey.
