VOLUME V NO. 47. STATE CANVASSERS. Holt Appoints Hie Two State Senator on the Hoard. Gov. ll1t today appointed James 11 Ton (Democrat), of Johnston comity, aiul W. 1. Henderson (Re-, niihliuiin), from Vance comity, as the two Senators on the State Board of Canvassers, who will meet here December 1st to canvass the elec tion returns. Congressman A. II. A. Williams, ofthel'ifth District. He says he will contest Settle's election to Con gress. The returns from Stokes county will be contested. They came to the State Canvassing Board iu Settle's favor, but there is also a protest against their being received. It is alleged that there was bulldoz ing in Stokes; that there were 150 armed men, and that undue influ ences were used. It will all make up a very interesting case sor the canvassing board and for Congress. Williams'" majority, leaving out Stokes, is 52. Mr. W. K. White, a strong Third party man, who has been a member of the Kehukee Primitive Baptist church Halifax county, for many years, Saturday withdrew from the church without any charges against him. His Church will not receive or keep in fellowship any member of any secret order, aud Mr. White has been conspicuous as a Third-party man and has rather favored in his position the work of Gideon's Band. He withdrew from the church on his own accord. Members of the church think that he rather hoped some one would prefer charges against him and then he would with draw on the plea of persecution for his political opinions, but the churtfh kept still and let him do his own kicking. Secretary and" Treasurer W. C. Strmifieh: of the Confederate Sol diers' Home says, the number of j t rt n i inmates now amounts to nrty-six. Since the opening of the home, a ...... . i little more than two years ago, mere have been eighty-five, six of whom have died. There will have to be nro vision for more at once, as there are ten applications now on file. There are some veterans in poor- houses. Messrs. J. H. Parkani, of Carl ton; Henry A. Hart, L. W. Parham, and J. T. Blackwell, of Oak Hill, honored us with a visit on Thursday. We learn that W. J. Downey, of Buchanan, a Thirdite of the Dalby type, was hung in effigy at that place Saturday night. Keep cool boys, as the election is over and we routed both Rads and Thirdites by a big majority. Be quiet now as they got Peace and put two negroes in the Legislature. The Thirdites are of course happy because they beat the Democrats and sent two American citizens of African decent to Legis lature to make laws to govern them.

Woody, Deputy Collector of this di vision. The old man of the Gastonia Gazette Marshal-ed his forces and old Gaston swung into the Demo cratic line. If you don't see anything in the shape of an office you wan't, why just ask for it when old Grover steps in the White House. The political axe will not begin to run till after the 4th of March, so don't be in a hurry about getting in your application. The man who sits on the fence during the contest is invariably the loudest shouter when the engage ment is over and victory is won. - Rey. Jesse Cuninggim will hold his last quarterly conference at the Methodist church this, Friday night. He will also preach on Sun day. Oddly enough the calamity howl ers will only begin to weigh the ad vantages of genuine reform proper ly when the scales fall from their eyes. The seed law passed by the last Legislature has been decided uncon stitutional by Judge Goff, of the TJ. S. Supreme Court, at Wilmington, N. C. Brown & Knott vs. Postal Tele graph Co., the Supreme Court de cided there was error. In case of Bobbitt vs. Bank of Oxford, no error. Next Monday, as provided by law, all the county officers will quali fy give bonds, or renew them, as the case may be, and take the oath of office. Col. S. McD. Tate, the new State Treasurer has announced that he will retain all the present clerical force employed in the office under Mr. Bain. Mrs. J. T.

Peace has been elected Treasurer of Granville coun ty he will not be able to hold his place as a member of the new board of commissioners. Some one will have to be chosen in his stead and the Public Ledger respectfully sug gests Mr. Thomas D. Waller. While we have had occasion in the past to criticise Mr, Waller for some of his official acts, we have the man hood to come forward and give nim the credit he deserves. He certainly has made Granville a faithful and val uable officer and we do not know of another man who can do better work or prove more serviceable to the county. He has ever been zealous in the discharge of. his duties and did everything in his power for what he conceived to be for the public good. This suggestion is made without consultation with Mr. Waller. If he will accept it, he should be re-elected a county commissioner. SHILOH'S CATARrtH REMEDY. A marvelous cure for Catarrh, Diptueria Canker Moth and Headache.
