udc convention, grape tobacco

1906-10-18 - Henderson Gold Leaf

  • UDC 10th annual convention in Durham. Mrs. Samuel Watkins attends, as does local fave Julian Carr
  • Plans for a Confederate memorial arch in Raleigh were discussed. I hope it’s gone. (I think it is. Side note: one of the recently removed monuments at the Capitol, the Henry Lawson Wyatt Monument, was sculpted by a guy named Gutzon Borglum.)
  • Agreement with the Wilmington paper: enforce the vagrancy law
  • Chew Grape Tobacco! Yes, Grape Tobacco!
  • Thad Manning, Gold Leaf editor, is also the tax collector
