week. We are glad to note his great im
provement. THE EXPRESS COMPANY.
They' Justly KfcK Against the Corpo
ration Tax.
There has been some talk of the re
moval of the Express from this place. It
has come about from an imposition (in a
double sense) of $20 tax upon the com
pany for doing business in Oxford. Of
course, the Company is able to pay it, but
before they will do it, they will close the
office as It is just as easy and more eco
nomical for them to remove it to Stem,
Stovall or Dabney, and thus compel our
people to go there for their Express mat
ter. That would be calamity to the town
which the City Fathers, perhaps, have not
thought of. It is an indispensible insti
tution. Wrecannot afford to do without
it, and the managers look upon the re
tainment of an office here more in the
light of accommodation than otherwise.
What do they care about Oxford, or the
revenue to be derived from the place? An
electric-light pole might just as well be
taxed because it stands on the corner and
disseminates light for the belated pedes
trian. Tne patronage is not sufficient to
justify a tax. If they were receiving, say
$50,000 a year, why then things would be
different, and the managers, doubtless,
would not grumble in paying a tax in
conformity to patronage received as they
do in other places. But things here are
different. '
Oxford must first build up, induce peo
ple to locate, and to keep that which is
essential and necessary, and already by
an exemption of taxes which in other
places they can well afford to pay. Our
policy should be to foster and encourage
rather than to throw a damper upon an in
stitution calculated to benefit the town by
taxing it so.that in self-defense,it must go
elsewhere. It is very much like cutting
one's nose off to spite their face. Don't
try to drive people away! Treat them
kindly, with courtesy, and show them
such friendliness as will convince them
that we are neither niggardly, narrow
minded nor little-souled, but welcome
them among us, each and every one, as a
material factor in the upbuilding of our
town.
If you decide, from what you have
heard or read, that you will take Hood's
Sarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy
any substitute instead.

kins to Mr. W. D. Blanks, of Clarksvllle,
Va.
We have had such frequent and such
heavy and beating rains that it has been
almost impossible to effectually kill the
grass. Just as soon as everything is
worked out, rain comes and resets the
grass, and soon everything is as green as
ever. Notwithstanding the grass, crops
are growing off nicely and we still hope
for an abundant harvest.
Miss Mamie Wilson, daughter of the
late Dr. Goodrich Wilson, who has been
in Dallas, Texas, for the past year or
more, left that city last Monday for North
Carolina. She will visit relatives and
friends in St. Charles, Mo., Covington
and Richmond before returning to North
Carolina. She has been so charmed with
Texas and its people that it was feared
she would make that State her permanent
home, consequently her many friends
greet the news of her return with great
pleasure.
Mr. Banister Royster, of Bullock, and
Mr. Gow:b, of Clarksville, chartered the
cars from Danville to Portsmouth for an

Quite a number of people from this
neighborhood went on the excursion and
expressed themselves as greatly pleased
and delighted with what they saw and
what they did. A much larger crowd of
colored people would have gone but a re
port was circulated that they would never
see this country again if they went, for
they would all land on the cotton planta
tions of Tennessee or Georgia. The ex
cursionists visited Ocean View, Virginia
Beach, Old Point and Norfolk.

DUTCHVILLE DR1FTINGS.
As old Dutchville has been left out of
the columns of your valuable paper so
long, I have concluded to say a few words
in her behalf. Dutchville is situated
midway between the D. & N. R. R. and
the O. & C. R. R., the two roads running
parallel with each other about 3 miles
apart, so we are in a mile and a half of
each road; six depots in convenient dis
tance, ranging from 1 to 6 miles in dis
tance, so you see we have all the railroad
facilities we could ask for. Dutchville
you know is noted for raising the best to
bacco that is grown in the world. That's
a broad assertion, nevertheless it's a fact.
Some of our farmers are done selling and
some have their best tobacco on hand yet.
Some of the Oxford buyers would do
well if they would come out here and
pay a good price for it. If they don't
some of it will go to Richmond, Danville,
and Lynchburg.
I think the present growing crop of to
bacco and corn Is considerably damaged
by the recent heavy rains
So far as medical aid is concerned, we
think we have the best there is in the
county Dr. W. W. Cozart who Is lo
cated among us and has been for 30 years
He visits the poor as well as the rich and
never says money. We feel perfectly
safe when he is with us and our families.
Mr. Editor, there Is a few things I can
understand and a few things I can't un
derstand. One thing is, when the farmer
has anything to sell if he sells it on the
market he has to submit to the weights,
and measures of the man that buys it;;
then if he wants to buy a load of provis o
ions or anything else he has to submit to2
the weight and measure of that man. If
we weigh our load at home before wc
start with it, and when we get there and
they weigh it and it falls short, they will
say your scales are not good. Well then
we go and buy a load of something and
come home and weigh it by our weights
and it falls short they'll say you didn't
weigh it right. So our weights are never
good except when we sell to our neigh
bor farmer. This Is one of the things I
can't understand.
Mrs. J. M. Beck, of Lunenburg county,
Va., accompanied by five of her children,
are visiting friends and relatives at Dutch

Died, on Saturday last, in Tally Ho'

dysentery, in the 29th year of his age, and
leaves a wife and one child. Mr. Smith
moved from Northampton county 2 years
ago, and was superintendent of trussels
on the Durham & Northern Railroad, and

ried Miss Fanny Bowling. Last year Mr.
Smith removed back to his old home but
returned to Granville to engage in farm

His remains were taken to his old home

gtev. Bayleis Cade
Rev. Baylus Cade has an article in the
News and Observer in which he an
ounces his withdrawal from the Progres
sive Farmer. He gives, as his reason
that he cannot endorse the Sub-treasury
bill, and is "convinced that its enactment
would be disastrous to the country
Well, he is an able scholar, and a good
writer, and has written many trenchant
articles in favor of the farmer, and as a
i;o-laborer in the cause of agriculture, we
l egjret to lose him. But, it seems to us,
thai he was a good long time, seven
moaths, in making up his mind whether
lie was right or wrong, and all the time
working like a Trojan for a relief meas
ure, which, tor the lite or him, he was
unable to form a righteous opinion. No
man is fit to be a teacher until he knows
or believes that what he teaches is the
truth. We are all liable to error, and,
once convinced of a mistake, the safer
way Is to turn back it shows honesty, at
least, and we have a decided respect for
the man who will, in a manly way, ac
knowledge his faults. The science of po
litical economy is deep and intricate. The
best of thinkers are not always certain as
to the operation of a law, or that it will
work In the manner for which it was de
signed. The Sub-treasury bill is one of
these things, and while there are many
able and bright thinkers in favor of it,
there are also many just as honestly op
posed to it, and, possibly, nothing short of
a practical test will ever convince those
for an(j against as to the wisdom of its
enactment. We are in favor of it because
some kind of relief for the farmer 's
needed, and they cannot get much worse
off than they now are, and if, as some
maintain, the Rev. Baylus now among
the number, It should prove "disastrous
to the country," the people would arise
in their might and wipe it from the statute
books. This government is dear to the
American people. It has been in exist
ence too long, is too large, and broad, and
grand, for any one man, dozens, set of
men, or party, to completely ruin it. It
can't be done, and it's no use for any one
man to be dismally howling that "if this
thing is done, the country is ruined," or
"if that thing isn't done it's all up with
us." Friends, it's ail stuff! You are a
free American citizen! As American
citizens, for the love of America, and the
welfare of our country as Amerscan citi
zens, think for yourself! Read both
sides, listen to all, and if you think a cer
tain .thing is right hearken to none, but
use your might and main in pushing it

on this platform, he is to be commended
for the course taken, and we have no
word to utter save that it is a pity that he
ever undertook the farmer's work, which
was outlined at St. Louis, and emphati
cally and declaratively expressed by the
farmers in convention at Ocala, and he
could not be in ignorance, as to the work
to be done.

Death of a Worthy Colored Man.
Died, at the home of N. T. Allen, on
the 2l8t Inst., old Uncle Ben Allen, a col
ored man in his 70th year. He was one
of the old landmarks of the Allen family.
Always honest, upright, truthful, relia
ble, he was held in high esteem by all,
both white and colored. It is hoped all
his posterity will follow his good exam
ple and thereby inherit and enjoy his
good name. Peace to his ashes for he
was a good negro and we believe he does
rest from his labors.
Dr. G. W. Earle, Pickens, S. C, writes:
"I recommend B. B. B. to a man who had
suffered for vears with a malignant ulcer
on his leg, that seemed to resist all other
treatment. After using four or five bot
tles the ulcer began to heal and hia leg is
now sound and well."
