Republican! Meet and Name Ticket!
Endorse Some Moosers.
The Republican Convention for
Person county met last Saturday
When the convention was called
lo order by County Chairman,
D, MerFitt, there were preset
169, a goodly crowd for a county
convention. But this large at
tendance is accounted for by the
fact that many Democrats and
Progressives were present, owing
to the interest as to what they
would do with the Mooser ticket
named the week before.
Chairman Merritt called the
convention to order and briefly
stated the object of the meeting.
He called William Yancey Carver
to act as secretary.
T. D. Winstead, V. L. Thomas
and Robt, Long rwere named as
credential committee, but there
were no contests.
Thos. D. Woody was named as
permanent chairman and William
Yancey Carver as permanent sec
retary.. Upon taking the chair Mr.
Woody stated that he had not
had much experience in that line
of business, but assured the dele
gates that he vras not ashamed to
act as Chairman of a Republican
convention. He stated that the
next order of business was the
naming of candidates. Upon a
roll call it was found Jthat the con
vention was entitled to '41 votes,
and 33 answerd as present, some
of the townships not being rep
resented.
For County Commissioners the
following were placed in nomina
tion: T. B. Davis, A. M. Long,
R. D. Bailey, C. JL Hunter, W. L.
Thomas and J. W. Clayton. Mr.
Clayton declined to allov his
name to be run. The following
were nominated; A. M. Long, R,
D. Bailey and C. H. Hunter.
Coroner, W. M, Clayton.
Surveyor, v. T. Buchanon.
For sheriff 0. L, Satterfield
and A. P. Clayton were placed in
nomination, Mr. Clayton winning
by a vpte of 24, while Satterfield
received 10.
The most spirited contest came
when nominations for Treasurer
were asked for. W. R. Neal took

Tom? You can stand. your hand
with any of the-boys
Tom. Oh there's other- israys
of being killed than by boys. I'm
not afraid of the; boys doing me
harm, but I'm afraid of being
overworked.

School Opens,
Last Monday morring the Rox-
boro Graded Schools opened,
and we are glad to say that tke
attendance was, very flattering.
Supt Stalvey opened the school
with devotional exercises, af
ter which h gave the pupils and
tf achers some words of wisdom
words which they caa all well
take to heart. After his address,
short talks were made by J. W.
Noell, Mayor M. G, Winstead and
Prof. , Henry.
I Supt. Stalvey has inaugurated
some new features this session
which we think will still further
advance our schools and place
them in the forefront with all
other schools.
