C, is here representing the Union Central with a check for full amount of the claim in his company, said check bearing date of Sept. bth, the day the proofs reached Cincinnati, the home office. This is a prompt paying company. The Burlington News says: It is no longer a secret that Marion But ler has sold the Populists of the Fitth Congressional district to Tom Settle, and as pay he gets an equal number of Republicans tor btroud in the Fourth Congressional district. Is not that a fine piece of bargaining? The great and only howling Fopu lists of the Fifth district, white men, sold straight out or swapped for so many votes of color.

Ephriam says Me flust slip Down if Peace and Cozart is Elected. Captain Hughes, the Great High Priest of the two wings of the Radi- kill party in Granville, has called his black braves of Republican Reserva tion to meet in Oxford on Monday, Sept. 24th, for the purpose of hold ing their regular biennial pow-wow. When the meeting takes place the Captain will have to shelve his as sistants in last convention, Rev.Wm. Royster and Bill Crews, and get the Big Chief, a full graduate in the management of the turbulent braves when they meet in convention to aid him. When we say this we mean no disrespect to Rev. Moses Winston, who has a lease on being chairman of political bodies. In fact it would be just the thing to have him assist Capt. Hughes in trying to bring or der out of chaos, as the Rev. Popu list would probably have a soothing effect on the blaek political sinners, provided his party leaders have sign ed the agreement to take Messrs. W. H. Lyon and Archie Gregory off the Legislative ticked and substitute therefor Hugh Tilley, the distinguish ed colored tool of Tommie Settle in Granville, and "Sweet William" Crews who is called Bill for short, and he is so short in honor that he wont pay the pitiful sum of $1.50 for tickets that helped him to misrepre sent the people of Granville in the last Legislature. The cause which brings this agree ment about is that Capt. R. P. Hughes, $700 Peace, Glaude Allen, "Walking Apostle" Buchanan and other galaxies in the black dia dem of the Africo-Pop-Rep combina tion, havo been begging and plead ing with tears in their eyes to save $700 Peace and Smiling Jim Cozart from a cyclone of Democratic mud, as the ebony portion of Reps have demanded to be in the deal. They have decided to try the faith of the new converts to negro rule, and have agreed to sup port Smiling Jim Cozart through his brother W. S. Cozart for Sheriff, and A. S. Peace, whose politics is gov erned by the $700 boodle he gets out of the Treasurer's office, if Boss But ler will order Gregory aud Ly? to stand aside and make room foi "hon orable" Hugh Tilley and Bill Crews, two distinguished ebony hued moss back African citizens now of Popu list persuasion, as the proper per sons to be sent to the Legislature to bring about the great reform that Peace, Pitchford, Buchanan, Usry, E. E. Lyon, Cozart & Co. have been fighting three years for. If this deal can be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, as it is the order of Boss Butler to make any terms in order to save the Legisla tive ticket, as "me own Mary Ann" and another Republican must be elected Senators. We ask how any true white man can be led into voting the Africo-Pop-Rep ticket. We say be a man and a white man at that, but for the love of your family, your county and State don't be a white man with a black heart and vote to place your neighbors and relatives in the clutch es of ignorant negro rule. Judge Winston. A just judge. What higher trib ute could be paid to a man? Judge Winston has been presiding over the Superior Court of this county for a week, and this is what all the people say of him that he is a just judge. There is a divinity which hedges them about the men who sit upon the rights of the people. The Observer gives its compliments to his honor. lie has held the scales of justice evenly, like him who wears the white flower of a blameless life. Charlotte Observer. Tribute of Respect. The members of the Medical So ciety who reside in Oxford passed the following resolutions on the death of Dr P. Booth: Whereas it has pleased an Allwise Providence to remove from this life our esteemed friend and brother, Dr. Patrick Booth, therefore be it resolved 1. That in Dr. Booth we have lost an estimable citizen, an aeeomplish ed physician and a faithful friend. 2. In the profession he was always liberal, ready to bestow upon the needy his professional help; genial and pleasant in his manner, he had won for himself a host of admirers and friends. He held several posi tions of trust. By his honesty, can dor and fair dealing he commanded the respect and admiration of all of his professional brethren. We extend to the family our heart felt sympathy in this the day of their sad bereavement. W. O. Baskervill, J. Buxton Williams, S. H. Cannady, L. C. Taylor, G. A. COGGESHALL, S, D. Booth.

Shaw, is an intelligent and well behaved colored citizen of Oxford and pastor of colored Pres byterian Church. The conduct of parson Shaw, who is a native of Louisburg, vN. C, and enjoyed col legiate advantages at Princeton col lege where he graduated with credit, is most exemplary as far as we know. He conducts his school in Oxford, supported by Northern money, with success and ability, and by his gene ral bearing and good behavior has impressed the white people of Oxford most favorably. We say this much of him because we have received frcra him a lengthy and well written article, expressed in courteous terms, in which he com plains of the course of the Public Ledger in its advocacy of a white man's government, and al,so of the critcisms of the editor because col ored men were employed in Court House to make out the tax list. We publish in another column a por tion of his communication. We do not wish to do his race any injustice, but we do favor a white man's government because we be lieve it is best for the county and the State and a Democratic one at that. We also favor a white man's gov ernment because the colored people are not competent to run the govern ment. If they had control, such worthy and intelligent colored men as the Rev. G. C. Shaw and Hanson T. Hughes would be ignored and the colored people would let unscrupu lous demagogical characters control public affairs or would select incom petent colored candidates deficient in reliability of character, who apt as not would be the pliant tools of white Republican demagogue no more worthy of public confidence than themselves. It can be seen during almost any campaign that the negroes of intelli gence and character haye little or no voice in Republican conventions. The negroes who attend these con ventions are allowed the opportunity to blow off in a few windy speeches, and then the white bosses as a rule fix up such candidates as suit them, and no matter how completely the voice of the colored man is stifled or how unsatisfactory the nominees to his race they fall into line and feel bound to support the ticket. They never fail to vote against the direct interst of the white people of the South at the bidding of rotten white Republican who are really meaner than their colored slaves. The negro race will have to reform as politicians by asserting more in dependence before they should com plain of any injustice to them from full participation in making and ex ecuting the laws of this country. Special Attention, Correspondents. The editor extends a cordial invita tion to each one of the correspond ents to be his guest at the Osborn House to dinner on Saturday, Sept. 22, 1894, and we hope that every reg ular correspondent of the Public Ledger will favor us by lending their quota of wit, humor and good cheer to the occasion. Remember the day, Sept. 22. Those accepting the invitation will please notify the editor as early as possible. John T. Britt. Drowned Their flother. Capt. John Galbraith, who punches tickets on the O. & C, brings some things besides passen gers. He is responsible for the fol lowing which he picked up at Clarksville. Near the banks of the river a hen hatched out a brood of young ducks and it was natural for them to take to the water, which they did and it annoyed the mother hen no little. She would go up and down the bank with a continu al chatter whenever the young ducks were sporting themselves in in the water. The ducks must haye become tired of so much parential advice and noise, so they gathered about the old hen and actually shoyed her over the bank and she met a watery grave. She was drowned.

In July Eighteen Ninety-foui A 1'arson came to see the shore; lie saw the shore, he saw the sea, And danced and laughed quite merrily. Ilia form was supple, his eye was bright, 11 is brain was clear, his step was light, lie plunged into the briny deep With many a shout, with many a leap. The waves were rough, the tide was high; The under-tow came sweeping by; The pulpit star at once did shout To all around to help him out, Uis eyes the while did larger grow llis heart did heave, his cheeks did clow; He plunged and leaped, and seemed to be l'rfparing for eternity. At length this sou of thunder cried, "A shark ! A shark is at my side !" His soul took fright, his body rolled But nothing save a crab had hold. At last the parson came ashore. As brine did ooze from every pore, And clapped his hands in clad refrain, "Nor 'Moons like this shall shine again.' " V. A. Jenkins in (Joldsboro Headlight. LINES TO REV. C. A. JENKENS.
