The Chrysanthemum Lunch given by the ladies of the Methodist Church on Saturday afternoon was a success. The Third party lost at nearly every precinct in the county except Wilton, where they gained eight over the vote of two years ago. Let the newspaper stand by the town and let the business men stand by the newspaper, and let. us make our homes as famous as possible. Mr. J. G.

Morris, who has some of the finest cows in the county has placed on our table two pounds of the best butter we ever put on a bis cuit. There will be no need of railroad tickets now. The pops have carried the State and the railroads are theirs. All rides are free. Populism is a glorious thing. Mr. J. R. Buchanan was a true blue fusionist as he voted for Bill Crews and J. H, Mayes, colored, for the Legislature instead of the Third party candidates. We have seen no Democrat that is cast down by the defeat. All say they are better Democrats than ever, and are already picking their Hints for the next round. Rey. Edward Benedict, Rector of St. Stephens Chmch, has tendered his resignation to the vestry which has been accepted. He is an able and consecrated minister. Mr. M. T.

Dalby informs us that he is elected Senator from this dis trict by 800 majority and that he re ceived more votes in Person than Dr. Merritt did two years ago. We would be glad to haye the aid of our friends in the county and town in extending the circulatioxi of the Public Ledger. Granville coun ty ought to and can sustain a tfood paper. Our friend Billy Brown, it seems, is not satisfied with one office. He bobs up seriously Jand annoiUM es himself a candidate for Sergeant at arms of the State Senate. Success to you Billy. There is a mighty good crop of Democratic seed left in the county that is sure to bear an abundance of fruit after a two year's trial of the two parties which laid aside princi ples for office.

At Kinston on the 12th Chas. H. Brown, attorney, was shot by Geo. Waters, witness, through the throat. Brown may recover.

Remember the dates and aro out and enjoy pleasant evenings. Her reportoire is Romeo and Juliet, Lady of Lyons, Bride of Messina, and Ingomar. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. R. T. E'am, which occurred at his home in Mecklenburg Co., Va., on the 20th ult. Mr. Elam was about 75 years of age, and was until a few years ago a citizen of this county, where ho was much es teemed for his high character and honesty of dealing with his fellow man. He leaves seven children and a widow with whom he had spent 52 years of his life. As the dispatches have stated, the Attorney General of Illinois, who, by the way, appears to be a man with good nerve and a keen nose for trusts has moved to forfeit the charter of the six companies in that State combined together as the cotton-seed oil trust. It will be seen now which is the stronger, the State of Illinois or this trust with its capi tal of two million dollars. At the "golden wedding" of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Brewer at Wake For est 45 persons were poisoned by eat ing ice cream in which there were "ptomaines," a deadly poison. The village was for several days filled with the sick, among whom were five of the college faculty. Misses Wil lie Simmons and Lula Hunt were at the point of death. The escape of all from death was narrow. On the 21 inst., says the Raleigh News and Observer, a party in that city negotiated a loan of twenty-five hundred dollars on twenty-five hun dred acres of land in Granville coun ty, the tax valuation of which is four dollars per acre actual value not less than ten dollars an acre. On the Sfh, after the election, the party loaning refused to confirm his loan, and said he would not put out a dol lar in North Carolina land. A great many people regard a newspaper as a free institution. When they want a free notice thev of course brace the editor, but when it come to help to sustain the medium that is trying to build up the town and county they are not able to subscribe or advertise. Some of them when they have any job print ing will not even patronize it. We say that if we do all in power to build up our town and county and get out a paper that is a cred it to our section the business men and others noonlfi of Oxford and Granville t- t - ought to appreciate this fact and more generally patronize the paper that represents and fights for the town and its welfare. North Carolina 4 per cent. bonds, which were selling at $100 Monday dropped to $98 Wednesday, a loss of $2, and our 6 per cents., which were; selling at $120 dropped to $123, a loss of $3. This may not be due to the political slump in the State, but it is hard to believe otherwise when no such thing has occurred before and j when it is remembered what kind of will nmh.hlv Ponfrnl onr Sr i ! affairs. We will not be surprised if our bonds fall to a much lower ure. COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD. They flet Thursday and Were in Ses sion Until Saturday Evening. The county canvassing board met at 12 o'clock on Thursday with the following members present one from each of the seventeen precincts: S. F. Badgett, C. E. Lloyd, R. L. Bobbitt, Jas. B. Elliott, Herbert Gregory, G. H. Faucette, J. B. Par ham, L. L. Crews, J. H. House, Chas. J. Bowden, Henry J. Robards, W. T. Allen, F, B. Wimbish, Jno. N. Wat kins, E. B. Cozart, C. E. Fleming, J. W. Russell. Organization was perfected by electing Mr. G. H. Faucett chairman and Mr. W. T. Clement secretary. In this connection it is due the chair man to express our approbation of the just and impartial manner in which he presided over the body dur ing its three days deliberations. After considerable discussion pro and con it was decided the returns be not opened until they were reach ed." Upon motion those precincts over which there were no contests, were first opened and counted. The following were contested by the Re publicans: North and South Oxford, Salem, Bullock and Berea; by Demo crats: Hobgood and Buchanan. Mr. B. C. Sharpe, of Greensboro, Settle's brother-in-law, and T. T. Hicks, of Henderson, Col. L. C. Ed wards and A. A. Hicks, of Oxford, represented the Republican-Populist candidates. Capt. W. B. Shaw, of Henderson, H. M. Shaw and J. C. Biggs, of Oxford, were retained bv the Democrats. After counting the uncontested re turns, the board adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday. Promptly at that hour the board met and the contest over the validity of the returns of South Oxford was begun. It was voted that evidence relating to trans actions Drior to dav of election be x excluded. The contest over South Oxford was stubbornly fought. The day was an eventful one. Numbers of witnesses were examined. There were six allegations in the complaint After consuming most of the day in hearing evidence, the counsel on each side addressed the board. Soeeehes were made by Messrs. Hicks, Sharpe, Edwards, W. B Shaw, J. C. Biggs and H. M. Shaw, after which a motion was made that the returns of South Oxford be count ed which was carried without a dis- sentinsr voice. Adjournment was then had until Saturday. The Republicans naving lost m this contest upon which they could make their strongest fight, intro duced no evidence on the other con tested precincts, but contented them selves with stating their objections The contest over Belltown or Hob- good was next reached, the Demo crats claiming that it should be thrown out on the ground that one of the pollholders was a candidate, but the board decided by a vote of 10 to 3 to count the returns. Buchan an was contested because the boxes had been tampered with and it was an evidence that there had been bal lot box stuffing,so the board by a vote of 11 to 5 decided to throw out this precinct. It was Republican by plu rality ranging from two to forty. The count was then completed and haying announced the result from the court house door, the boaid ad journed sine die. The official vote can be found in another column. Ton Can be Cured.

Warrenton, N. C. CAHPAIGN RANCOR. Let it Cease as the Election is Over, and Be Friends. It is one of the chief excellences of the American system that how ever hot and excited the citizen may become while a political battle is on however thoroughly convinced he lu UiG nimseJt to be, that un less his side wins the country will go straight away to ruin, turns up smil ing a tew days alterwards, iLeverso completely defeated, resigned if not content. The men of the other party who were erstwhile deep-dyed demagog ues seeking, as he puts it, the over throw of everything good, and the elevation of everything bad, resolve themselves once moie generally into kindly and courteous neighbors and friends. Aud the principles which he vowed and believed could not be held in abevauce a moment Inmrm- without involving everybody in dire disaster, he puts (inietlv awav in camphor, so to speak, to be ressur rected for like service when another campaign begins next time. To get a fair comprehension of what a grand good thing this is let the reader imagine what the result would be if the rancors and heart burnings of a political campaign, in stead of being but skin deep, were continuous and chronic like cancer for instance. Political discussion goes on from year's end to year's end as m a country where the humblest citizen has equal voice with the proudest in determining its destinies is both meet and proper, but happily save for the fewjweekspreeeding the elections, it is geneially conducted with some regard for the feelings of our antagonists, decorously and for the most part in a kindly spirit. We have referred to this circum stance as one of the excellences of the Amercan system, and so it is, but let us not forget that it would be impossible were it not for the mag nificence, the almost inexhaustible wealth of the land the good Lord has given us to dwell in. A winning party may be very bad and a losing one very good in such aland and the results be yet comparatively harm less. It gives us power to withstand the evil influences of almost any rule possible to such a people. It is tho creation ami the gift of God, and there is no potency in the vilest of partisan ascendency to down us while we have its resources to draw upo n. But it becomes us to make an ef- fort to hu the same. .'.. nd those resources all It especially becomes us in our political discussions between elect ions to bend ourselves to the up building of a higher and more un selfish order of patriotism. And this work should begin in the public schools and be encouraged in every ! stage ami walk ot lite to the end that ! !ho average citizen may ultimately become capaoie inmseir or aisiin- guishing between the wheat and the chaff, and of intelligently emploj'ing with courage but without bitterness and excitement that greatest gift of freedom, the ballot, to secure for him self and his country at all times the service of the best officials and the dominance of the best policies. l"OK SAI.K.
