The prosperity of the country, especially the Southern States, ia based upon agriculture.

Agriculture in turn is dependent on labor. Whenever large and remunerative crops are produced, it is an evidence of systematic labor; if otherwise, it shows defective labor. The great money crop of the South has not increased in proportion to the population. With good labor system (if the deadheads had worked) the Southern States should have produced in 1903 not less than twelve million bales of cotton; but the crop did not reach the eleven million mark. This is not at all strange when each year witnesses thousands of laborers leaving the farms and taking up their abodes in the towns and cities, lounging on the streets, spending their time in idleness, a majority of whom can show no visible means of support.

But these vagrants live, the question is, how do they secure a living? Is it any wonder then that stores and dwellings ere burglarized and robberies are committed? There is a vagrant law on the statute books of North Carolina. Why, then, is not enforced? We see daily on the streets of Henderson scores of able bodied men doing nothing, but they live. At the next session of the Legislature measures should be taken to enforce the act, and if vagrants will not voluntarily earn living the law should try its hand upon them and send them to the roads. Should the law be rigidly enforced, vagrants would become self-supporting, tramps would avoid the State, and robberies would be less frequent. Let the law be rigidly enforced.

May 11, 1004. Editor Gold Leaf: On Saturday, May 4th, just as the sun was sinking beneath the western horizon the doors New Bethel Baptist church were thrown wide open, when two young men, Messrs.

Charlie Hoyle and Miss Nora Duke; and while the soft twilight shadows were yet silently enveloping the earth, beautiful strains of the wedding march played by Mrs. Gill Watkins floated through the air, to the sound of which, the waiters filed down the side aisles, the ladies to the left, the srentlemen to the right as follows: Mr. James 1'aul sstamoacK ana Misa Maggie Milne; Mr. Ollie Sledge and Miss Mae Shanks; Mr. liiiijan rucKett ana Miss Pearle Strange; Mr.

Lastly the maid honor, Miss Ida Duke, upon wnose arm Jeanea the onae aressea in cream silk with a bouquet of bride's roses, marched down the left aisle and was met at the beautifully decorated arch in front the altar, accompanied by his best man Mr. Andrews. Profound silence reigned for only a moment. Then Rev. W.

writes, under date of April 14, follows: "Last February, while in New York on business for my house, I caufrht a severe cold, which laid me up for several weeks, and left me weak and nervous. I had little or no appetite and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could uot get at the cause of my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much impaired. I decided to try RYDALES stom -VPTI TABLET'S, beinc: assured by a friend, they were a good dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to realize that I was getting better.

I gave up the doctor's prescription and have gained 20 pound while using two boxes of these tablets. I never.felt better in my life, and accredit RYDALE'S STOMACH TABLETS with having cured me. I can recommend them, most heartily, to sufferers from nervous indiges tion and general run-down conditions of the svstem. EAGLE PHARMACY. NOTICE! Anyone selling anything to my son, D.

James Young at his home in Cleveland, Rowan county. He died suddenly and the intelligence was'a great sliock to his relatives and friends here. Capt. Young was depot agent of the Southern Railway Company at Cleveland having held the position six or seven years. He was for several years assistant agent at Hickory and Newton.

Recently he suffered from heart trouble but appeared to be in his usual health- when he retired that night. He slept at the depot and when it was found still closed next morning, after the usual time for it to be opened, and 'getting no response from the inside the window was broken open. Capt. Young's dead body was found just as he had slept, and was still warm. It was evident that life had not been extinct but a short while.

Capt. "Jimmie" Young was a native of Henderson and leaves numerous relatives and friends in this community. He was a brother of the late John H. Young and Drs. W.

W. and S. D. Young. Another brother, Mr.

W. J. Young, of Cleveland, survives him. Deceased was about 55 years old. He was a genial, warm hearted gentleman and many who knew him will sorrow at his death The body was brought to Henderson Friday and buried in the family filot here.

The funeral was held rom the Episcopal church at 5 o'clock Rev. Julian E. Ingle conduct-ins: the service. Quick Arrest. J.

Dear Sir: A gallon saved is $4 or $5 earned. Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons in 10. How much is it worth a gallon? A gallon Baved saves the painting too; and both together cost $4 or $5 $4 where labor is cheap; $5 where labor is dear. Our agents at Bridgeport, Hub- bell Wade tell us: "There are a great many workingmen's houses here. They used to paint leaa-ana-oii ana tate ten gallons.

We have been selling them ten gallons Devoe lead-and-ziuc, and have had, in every instance, two gallons returned." The proportion is often higher than that; we have known it five in ten; but that is exceptional. This is the explanation: Devoe is ground by machinery, aud is ground fine; lead-and-oil is mixed by hand, and isn't ground at all. ours truly, F. W. DEVOE CO.

Powell advertised Olielisk flour in the Gold Leaf he expected if would help him sell more flour to be sure, but he did not expect to find a customer in Washington City through this means. But such is a fact, and even at that distance when he was offering so good a thing as Ballard's Obelisk flour at $5.7." a barrel, Mr. Powell found a ready customer. He showed us a letter the other day from agentleman in Washington, D. ordering a barrel of flour, stating that he had seen Mr.

Powell's advertisement in the Hold Leaf. Now we would not have our readers imagine that good flour cannot be bought in Washington City or leave them under the impression that the crentlenmn in question desired the flour to be shipped to him. He wanted it sent to an address given in a neighboring town, and seeing Mr. 'owell advertisement in the paper le gave him the order. TO FARMER AND STOCKfiAN.

Pursuant to call the Republicans of Vance county held a convention in the court house Saturday for the purposa of electing delegates to the State and Congressional convention. S.

G. Satterwhito was elected chair man and J. L.Currin secretary. Theie was a verv' full attendance all the townships being represented but one, ith some exceptions it looked very much like the Populist conventions that used to be held a few years ago. These were very few negroes present and they had no part in the proceed ings although Haywood Reavis did appeal for his race to be recognized by giving them one delegate.

This anie after all the delegates had been elected, however, and that side of the louse did not seem to be surprised or dissatisfied at being ignored. After thetbusiness of the conven tion was disposed of Mr. T. T. Hicks spoke.

He-praised President Roosevelt and upheld the principles of the Republican party, and criticized the democrats and the estate administra tion. It was a characteristic sjieech and created much enthusiasm. A fuller account of the meeting is printed elsewhere. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr.

It is against the law to graze cows on the street even hen attended; and the throwi ng of trash and waste paper on the street, is prohibited.

There is in ordinance against the latter prac tice already, but no attention seems to be paid to it. This is a good law and ought to be enforced. But as or cows grazing on the streets when iroperly attended we hold that they do more good in keeping down the weeds and grass than otherwise.

On the first page of theGoLD Leaf last week we printed an article from tbo Statesville Landmark on "how to circumvent the wild onion." It was stated therein that the effects of the wild onion on milk could be de-stroved by putting a spoonful of molasses in the cow's feed. Another writer in the same paper substantiates the statement, and now comes a man in.

Union county who writes the same thing to the Monroe Enquirer. The gentleman in question is Mr. Luther S. Gritfin who says that his cows graze on onions as thick as wheat and there is not a trace of onion on milk' or butter, because he flavors the cows' feed with two or three spoonfuls of molasses a day. As the Landmark says: "The remedy is simple enough, and inexpensive.

The wild onion is an ever present pest and nuisance. If a way can be found to destroy it by deep as the Catawba county farmer recommends or to destroy its effects the country will be benefited." Special bargains in jlsOjSy 99 COME IN AND SEE THEM. B. S. Aronson PI 7 09 1 PI PJ PI 2 3 s.
