visit the town now with a much better
ijrace.
Messrs. Hunt, Cooper & Co. have

Mr. C. L. Daniel, who resides near
Wilton, sowed pint of Manitoba oats

oats which weighed 10 pounds. This is a
splendid yield. It is claimed that this
species of oats will yield from 75 to 100
bushels per acre.
We regret to learn of the suspension
of the Daily Patriot at Greensboro. It
was a very readable paper and did good

that Greensboro ought to support a good
daily if the thrivine town of Oxford can.
Our Day is hard to beat and it is a pleas
ure to us to know that it is receiying the
patronage it justly merits.
It is a pleasure fot us to note that our

We extend our congratulations to
Major J. T. Yancy, of Person, for the

Rumor has it that Col. Worthington,
formerly Solicitor of the 2nd District,
will locate in Oxford. He ranks as one
of the ablest lawyers in the State.
A number of defeated candidates are
busy trying to explain their defeat. In
the majority of cases we suspect it was
because the gentlemen didn't get votes
enough.
Judge Winston will hold his first
court in Wake commencing in January.
We feel sure he will make a good impres

man but the best wishes of oar entire
community go with him in his search for
honor and fame.
Mr. H. C. Hunter, one of the young,
industrious farmers of Fishing Creek,
now enjoys the pleasure of being a father.
It is a bright-e3red girl. He was some
what disappointed as he had his mind set
upon raising a Democratic voter. We un
derstand his mother comforted him by
saying "Never mind. Harry, by the time
she becomes of age we will have womans'
suffrage in North Carolina." He grace
fully accepted the situation.

BULLOCK ITEMS.
Mrs. Thomas R. Carrington and daugh

brother, Mr. C. B. Watkins of Buflalo
Springs.
Mr. T. II. Watkins. formerly of this
neighborhood and for the past six years a
resident of Halifax county, Va., is now in
Glascow, Va., in the real estate business.
The acorn crop is larger than it has
been for years, and the farmers corn cribs
will be much benefitted by the abundant
supply as it will require very little corn
to fatten their hogs.
The hogs are dying in this section with
cholera. A sure preventative and cure is
to make a strong tea of poke root, thicken
it withmeal, and feed them with the mix
ture at least once a day.
We congratulate Capt. A. H. A. Wil
liams on his recent election, and feel sure
that he will honor the position to which
he has been elected . The best wishes of
this community go with him.
Mr. Thos. R. Carrington, Jr., who has
been at Eastman Business College, in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., for some months,
has completed his course, and will prob
ably connect himself with a large dry
goods store in that city.
Quite a serious little affair occurred be
tween Mr. W. K. Jenkins and Mr. M.
Gill at Sto vail a few days ago. Mr. Jen
kins accused Mr. Gill of dealing unfairly
in the election and insulted him, where
upon several blows passed in which both
were badly bruised up.
Since old Jack Frost has made his ap
pearance turning the leaves from a rich
red golden purple to a russet and brown,
the farmers are forced to realize that win
ter is near and preparation must me made
for the comfort of both man and beast. A
kind Providence has supplied abundant
stores of all that's good to cheer the inner
man so when sufficient fuel is provided to
warm and comfort the outer man the poor
farmer can rest for a little season.
The many friends of Rev. George Wat
kins were much disappointed on Sunday
last, that he was providentially prevented
from fulfilling his appointment at " State
Line" church. We regret to say he in
tends soon to leave his native land, but
he feels called to labor for his Master in
a foreign country. We are sorry to lose
a man of so much talent and promise, but
feel confident that he is competent to fill
any field that he may be called upon to
serve. The best wishes and prayers of
his many friends attend him.

OXFORD PEOPLE HAPPY.
They Serannde Our Xew Congress
man and Judge.
The good news of the election of the
Democratic ticket in Granville created
the wildest enthusiasm in Oxford, and so a
seranade was given the victorious candi
dates. On Thursday night, the 6th, the seren
ading party amid cheers, and with beauti
ful and brilliant fireworks repaired first
to the home of Hon. A. II. A. Williams.
The whole air resounded with the burst
ing of fire works, but the cheer for Wil
liams resounded above the din and noise.
On arriving in front of hi3 spacious resi
dence inspiring music by the Oxford
band awoke the echoes. At the conclu
sion of the music the cry of Williams !
Williams 1 ! Williams ! ! ! rent the air.
Soon the noble countenance of Baldy Wil
liams, the man that beat Brower, appear
ed in sight. In gracetul and appropriate
and eloquent style he addressed his many
friends neighbors who called to do him
honor. He made some happy hits and
was roundly applauded.
Dr. E. T. White, the chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee, who
made such a splendid chairman was call
ed for. He spoke in handsome and ap
propriate style, and was followed by B.S
Royster, a staunch Democrat, who deliv
ered a brief but eloquent address. SoJ.
Cooper, the invincible, was loudly called
for and his remarks were brief but to the
point, ant aroused deafing and long con
tinued applause. Everybody likes Sol.
Cooper. The gifted an talented Capt. J-
A. Williams being called on said a few:
appropriate words brim full of eloquence
that were received with great applause.
Next the party seranaded was Capt.W.A.
Bobbitt. the man who beat the tall oak
of old Bowling Mountain, as sound and
reliable Democrat as the county holds and
a regular hustler. His service to the
party will long be remembered.
The party next went to the mansion
of Judge R. W. Winston who is well
known as one of the ablest men of his
age in the State,
hearts with joy.
quent there is no

Young, able and elo
limit to his future as
cent up the ladder of fame. He will make
one of the ablest Judges North Carolina
has ever had and he is of that superior
mould that will deal out justice with even
hand to the highest and the lowest.
After the the band had played a beauti
ful air the cry for Winston ! Winstoii ! !
Winston ! ! ! Judge Winston was heard
from hundreds of lips. His appearance
was greeted with unbounded warmth. Hie
spoke in wise, tender, and brilliant
strains, avoiding the harshness of partizaii
bitterness, but expressing opposition ijn
clear cut and pointed English to the Mtf
Kinley bill and Republican methods. ; )
Tne crowd full of enthusiasm tooc
its departure shouted with vociferoifd
cheers the name of Judge Winston who&e
victory was a source of the greatest joy
to all who know him and appreciate hjs
merit.
Coroner Renn Sold. j
A few days ago some boys were ramlj--liner
around in the stables under the Ceri

stretched out full length in one of the
troughs and looked liked he was dead.
They lit out at break -neck' speed exclain
ing, "There is a dead man under yonder! '
One of the number run for the Ooron r
and told him that there was a dead mai
under the Center Warehouse. Mr. Renji
with his due dilligence and with a fee i'ii
sight hurried to the scene. But lo and
behold when he arrived he did find a deali
man dead drunk who was quietly sleep

COL. L. L. POLK,
PRESIDENT OF THE FARMERS' ALLI
. ANCE,
Comments Upon the Situation in Kan
sas, and Attributes the Change of
Sentiment to the Farmers' Financial
Distress. t
The opinion of Col. L. L. Polk, of Ral
eigh, N. C, President of the National
Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union,
who was in Atlanta some days ago, was
solicited upon the election in Kansas.
" It is what might be termed a political
volcano eruption, is it not ?" he said with
an expressive smile. "There are two
principal reasons, which I think will em
body the primary root of this great revul
sion of feeling. The first is the fact tliat
the people of Kansas are awakening to
jthe importance and absolute necessity of
a pronounced position on the part of the
people of the North against sectionalism.
But it was left to John J. Ingalls, in a
speech in the Senate characterized by po
litical malice and sectional party hate, to
touch the match to the magazine, the ex
plosion of which has culminated iu the
election just held. Several prominent
Republicans wrote me at the time severely
condemning Ingalls' course. They had
been his life-long friends, both in a per
sonal and a political sense, but they
would never countenance political dema
goguery as demonstrated in that speech
"A meeting was finally held in March,
at Topeka; at which a resolution was
passed, repudiating any man who would
support Ingalls in his course. The reso
lution was heartily indorsed by thousands
and led to the organization of the late
movement, the result of which is an
nounced in the dispatches.
"Sectional agitation has served the pur
poses of political demagogues in the
North in holding the Republican party
together. When they saw the necessity
of abandoning the bloody shirt racket, the
82,000 majority stampeded and swept the
State. I speak from personal knowledge
of the status of opinion in that section,
having conversed with thousands this
fall, and it was made clear to me that a
determined effort was going to be made
to throw sectionalism into oblivion. I
trust that the patriotic men of the South
will meet these right-minded people half
way and co-operate heartily with them in
establishing those amicable and mutually
beneficial relations which cannot but
make our glorious country stronger than
it has ever been before.
" The second reason lies in the wofully
depressed financial condition of the farm
ers of the State. They believe that the
chief cause of all this depression is the
discriminating legislation of the past
twenty-five years, and they are going to
work at the source of trouble the Na
tional Legislature.
"I am informed upon good authority
that there are in the State of Kansas to
day 10,000 sober, industrious, hard-working
farmers, who are unable even to pa)'
the interest on the mortgages with which
their land and property are covered.
They are hopelessly in debt and can only
get relief in financial reform. 1 was pre
pared to hear very good news from the
election, but I must say that the result
has surpassed all my previous anticipa -tions."

Cupid Again at Worit.
Mr. Geo. W. Knott, of the large leaf
firm of Knott & Brown, ona of our most
worthy and progressive young, and Miss
Sallie, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Alf. Hob
good, were married on Wednesday morn
ing at the home of the bride. A lovely
floral arch adorned the parlor and as the
happy couple stood beneath it Rev. J. S.
Hardaway bound them together as one in
the presence of relatives and friends.
The watters were: W. T. Lawrence
and Miss Lela Routon; A. S. Davis and
Miss Lonie Currin; J. T. Thomas end
Miss Eva Currin; S. II. Smith and Miss
Lucy Hobgood; C. D. Ray and Annie
Bryant; II. T. Knott and Lula Currin.
The presents were numerous and at
tractive. Mr. & Mrs. Knott took the train on a
tour to the Capital of the Nation and
other cities.
May they ever continue to be as happy
and as joyous as now.

Oxford is soon to have a fine hotel, and
along with the great industries of South
Oxford, where the Land Improvement
Company has invested $150,000, and ad
ding to that the Company will erect a
$100,000 cotton factory. Then comes the
"'now Modern Company (limited) with
$250,000 capital, which has just been in
corporated and will be removed from
High Point N. C. The Oxford knitting
mil!s with a capital of $10,000 is already
in operittion, and dwelling houses are
now ljeintr erected on this valuable prop

Oxford is the coming town of the State.

The reason KADAM'S
MICROBE KILLER is
most wonderful medicine,
is because it has never
failed in any instance, no
matter what the disease,
from LEPROSY to the
simplest disease known
to the human system.
The scientific men of to
day claim and prove that
every disease is
CAUSED BY MICROBES,

Radam's Microbe Killer
Exterminates the Microbes and drives them out
of the system, and when that is done you cannot
have an ache or pain. No matter what the dis
ease, whether a simple case of Malarial Fever or
a combination of diseases, we cure them all at
the same time, as we treat all diseases constitu
tionally. Asthma, Consumption, Catarrli, Bronchi
tis, Rheumatism, Kidney and Liver Dis
ease, Chills and Fever, Female Trouble,
in All Its Forms, and, In Fact, Every Dig
ease Known to the Human System.
