Wilmington Messenger says in November there is to be an election of a State Legislature, of two United States Senators, of Supreme Court and Superior Court Judges, of a State Treasurer, of nine Representa tives. The Legislature lost there will be two Senators lost, and the 25 or 30 counties dependent entirely upon perpetuity of the excellent County Government system for pro tection as well as for prosperty and low taxes will be again the scene of gross abuses and spoliation. The men who robbed and plucked the people are not all dead. Bad men are always ingenious and productive in schemes to deceive and despoil. Hummer on Prices. Oxford has long since established a reputation for being the best all round tobacco market in or out of the State, and cannot be downed on high averages for all grades. The market is in better trim than ever before as our buyers hold large or ders for Granville tobacco which leads the world on flavor and tex ture. Large quantities of new tobacco were sold on market during the past week. Colory grades fetched from $10 to $50 per hundred, and scooped in eagerly by our well heeled buyers who hold large orders for all grades of new tobacco. All our warehousemen are live, wide awake gentlemen, and take a delight in pleasing the farmers, and invariably send them home with smiling faces and rolls of greenbacks in their pockets. Remember Oxford has two excellent banks with plenty of money to plank down for every load ot tobacco that may be crowded into Oxford.

The Thirdites for the Senatorial District composed of Granville and Person, held their convention at Berea on Friday last. The wide mouthed Dr. Merritt, who no doubt under instruction from Boss Butler, was on deck and was endorsed for Congress. He will be nominated in order to take away the Third party vote from Gus Graham and elect Settle in accordance with a bargain already made with Republican lea ders. We wonder how our good Third party friends in Granville will like that ? Can it be possible that they will allow themselves to be sold out to the Republican party in such a wholesale manner ? There is no earthly chance to elect Dr. Merritt, and every vote cast for him is one for Settle, who is not in favor of a single one of the reforms advocated by the Third party. Gus Graham is the people's logical candidate for Congress, and should receive the solid vote of all men in favor of every measure that is for the direct interest of the masses of the people. The convention unanimously nom inated Dr. A. J. Dalby, of Granville, for Senator. The doctor has been a faithful and true exponent of the Third party, and deserved recogni tion at the hands of his party. He has never been an office seeker, but in past being content to work in the ranks of his party. We can truly say that we do not believe the nomi nation is a good one. He is narrow minded, and a heart so full of preju dice that he never lets an opportuni ty pass to array one class against another. To hear him talk you would think that he thought he was an allwise man, who believed that in him is embodied the stuff that will make all the statesmen in this great country hang their heads in shame as he is possessed with abilities that is calucated to established for him self a reputation (?) equal to any that ever appeared in American politics. In fact he is a true expotent of the Africo-Pep-Pop combination recent ly promulgated at Raleigh by Boss Butler and the Republican leaders. We are frank in saying that if the State of North Carolina should be unfortunately afflicted with a Legis lature composed of a majority of such men as Dr. Dalbv every con servative law on the statute books would be annulled and others passed in their places that would not only cut off appropriations from our white and colored orphan asylums, insane asylums, deaf, dumb and blind asy lums, Agricultural Colleges, Normal Schools and .State University, but would be certain to place the white people of the State under Negro Rule, destroying our credit and bring ruin upon every branch of industry in our now prosperous Commonwealth which stands today the peer of any State that compose the great union of States. We do not believe that if North Carolina was raked over with a fine tooth comb two more reckless men could be found, who would go fur A 1 It i 11 tner and do more to overtnrow our present system of excellent govern ment that Dr. A. J. Dalby and Capt. Archie Gregory. They do not hesi tate to say that if the Africo-Rep-Pops cannot rule by ballot they will by bullets. We ask the good men who have embraced the Populistic faith how they can vote for men that harbor in their breast such hatred for the masses of the people ? Such men should never be elected to make laws for a God fearing people. Beat the Conspirators. The Wilmington Messenger says the coming election in North Carolina in November very much concerns the peace, prosperity and even glory of North Carolina. The failure of the Democratic party to carry the election would indeed be disastrous, for that would mean ma terial, educational and political ret rogression. Put in power the gang of conspi rators and every interest would feel it at once and a set back would be given to North Carolina such as was visited upon it in the reconstruction times when venality, bribery, de bauchery, ballot stuffing ran riot, and the black and tan helped the white bosses to plunge their hands into the pockets of the people, robbing them of more than $20,000, 000. What honest, true man can de sire a return of such troublous, rascally times as these 1 Bncklen's Arnica futl ve.
