A pertinent question. Why is it that the people Oxford will not stand by enterprises that home people are trying to build up? Until they make up their minds to do it we will oe behind in the procession of progress. If our business men really de sire a first-class telephone system they now have the opportunity to get it, and it seems to us that Ox ford should keep step with other towns, and have a first class tela phone exchange. The tie in the Kentucky legisla ture was broken Friday by the death of Isaac Wilson, a Democrat. This gives the Republicans a majority of one and will insure the election of Godfrey Hunter, a Republican, to the U. S. Senate. The twentieth Annual Sate Con vention of the Yountr Men's Chris tian Associations of North Carolina, will be held March 19 to 22 at Char lotte. An interesting programme is --prepared. Some strong speak ers have already agreed to be pres ent. Every Association in the state should bo represented by as many delegates as possible. We learn that Esquire J. M. Davis, of Brassfield, one of the Doug lassite apporntees, had a case up before hira one day last week, and one of the parties did not like some thing he done, and it is said gave the Justice quite a good round, leav ing him the worse for wear. We can only say that we regret this, and trust that it will not occur again even with a Third party magistrate. The editor thanks Mr. D. N. Hunt for a well preserved copy of the Ganville Wig, published in Ox ford by the late Col. Geo. Wortham, dated July 10th, 185Q. We notice that it only contained four local items; the balance of reading matter was on National bffairs. It has in it the announcement of the death of President Taylor at the White House in Washington City, on July 9th, 1850, at half past two p. m. The young people enjoyed a pleasant sociable at the hospitable home of Mr- and Mrs J. W. Gooeh last Friday evening. After several hours pleasantly spent in playing games and listening to sweet music refreshments were served and the time for closing the enjoyable hours grew only too soon. Each one left reluctantly, agreeing that Mrs. Gooch knew just how to entertain aud make the young people happy. The venerable Cuffy Mayo, a colored member of the great Legis lature of 186S, from Granville, and more familialry known as "Archiyes of Grayity," died at his home near Oxford on Tuesday. He lived a quiet life and was little heard of these latter years. He was a Bap tist preacher aud reached the age of 96, ere the summons came. Even the venerable Cuffy, and peace to his ashes, made a far better repre sentative of the people than the lat ter day saints, the Populists, under the guise of reformers. OXFORD, Mr. Henry Strauss, of Hender son, was in Oxford this week trying to get up a telephone exchange. It is his purpose to bring out the local system here. During the last campaign the noble Third party cried "keep in the middle of the road," little think ing that some of their chiefs would have to really work the roads. Mr. Jack Boswell, an old man of Brassfield Township, one day last week while attempting to walk a foot log across a creek fell off and broke his neck, so the report goes. "Squire S. V. Ellis arrested a white man who gave his name as Edwards and claimed to have come from Franklin county, Wednesday night last, on the eharere of carrying concealed weapons and had him put in jail. The attractive and prepossessing young ladies of Oxford will tender to their gentlemen friends a Leap Year German on the evemug of Jan. 24th, at Armory Hall. It will be the social event of the season aud no doubt will be a recherche affair. The barber trust was broken on Wednesday, as D. M. Lee, the white barber, silently folded his small tent aud as silently took the train for Henderson, leaving Terry still mas ter of the situation. One by one the trust gains sway, and the little fish have to make room for the whales, and yet the shavers are not happy. In Mr. Gowan Dusenbery, the Southern Railway has a very ef ficient and careful agent. He at tends strictly to his duties and shows a decided disposinion to ac commadate the patrons of the road as far as the strict rules of the company will admit, and is ever ready to give information as to schedules, fares and connections. We overlooked the fact of not ing the fine Christmas number of the Southern Tobacco Journal, pub lished at Winston by Mr. H. E. Har man. It is handsomely gotten up, full of choice reading and excellent illustrations. It goes witout saying that the journal is certainly a splendid publication and a great credit to the tobacco trade. Con tinued success to it. Abram Ferrell, a well known colored man about town, had on his smoked glasses on Wednesdy morn ing, in order no doabt to discover, if possible where Fusion was at since Rev. Wm. Royster, the jailor, was on trial charged with begetting a child in jail, and S. P. Satterfield and our own Billey Brown being convicted of frauds in enrolling the Assignment act that only passed the second reading of the late sweet scented Legislature. Although our friend, Mr. J. W. Brown, and we differfrom him polit ically, was convicted of charges against him in the Superior court of Wake in the assignment act, we can say that he bears a good character among our people and quite a num ber of our good citizens stated that on the stand. We indeed feel sorry for him, as we believe he did not intend to do anything wrong, but he got into awful bad company when he joined the Pops. It is a pleasure to the editor to learn that our talented lawyer, Maj. B. S. Royster, who defended Mr. J. W. Brown, at the trial betore Wake Superior Court did himself and our county great credit in his able con test of his chants case, and his sp'en did speech of one hour and half be fore the jury, was a masterly effort, showing that he possesses rare legal attainment. We are proud or our townsman Major B. S. Royster, and hope some day to see him honor the bence or our grand old Common wealth. The editor having the honor of being one of the delegates from the North Carolina Fress Association to that of the National Press Associa tion which meets at St. Augustine, Fla., the 21st iost., donned his best suit and lett by way ot the bouthern Railway Wednesday for that city, and leaves the omcem charge ot Mr E. W. Harper, the foreman, who is authorized to transact all business until the "old man" turns up, pro vided the alligators do not shut their long jaws down upon a green Car olina editor, and if such is the case, he will be greatly missed as the Thirdites will have nobody to curse and abuse. One day last week a colored boy by the name of Oscar Green, who claims to have come from Wake For- fist. entered the room of Mr. C. J. Thomas and stole a fine dress coat He also went into the room of Messrs Connor and Wells and took there from a shirt, some cravats and a pistol. Chief Renn was promptly notified and on Wednesday night last arrested Green, recovered the stolen property and landed him in iail. Thursday morning while Chief Renn was carrying Green from iail to the mayor's office he made a break for liberty, but he was caught by Rev. J. E. Thacker and brought safely back. A Sudden Death. Mrs. Forsyth, wife of H . L. For syth, went oyer to her old home in Granville county some days ago on a visit. The sad news was brought here today that while sitting in a chair she fell over and expired in a few minutes. It was very sudden. She leaves several children who work in the East Durham factories. Her remains will be interred in Granville at her old home,- Dur ham Sun. N. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1896. A BIG TRIAL. Kev. Wm. Royster, Colored, Charged With Bastardy. Rev. Wm. Royster, S. B., and jail or under Sheriff Cozart, was arraign ed on Monday morning before S. V. Ellis, J. P., on a warrant sworn out by Mattie Harris, colored, a late prisoner in jail. There was a large crowd present in the court room, the majority of whom were colored people. After some little time a jury of six men was se- lected, composed of 3 white and 3 ! colored R. R. Callis, E. G. Currin and L. E. Wright, white, and John Young, Presley Slaughter and Alex Slaughter, colored. Messrs. N. B. Cannady, Alex J.' Feild and J. Crawford Biggs appear ed for the State and Col. L. C. Ed wards and Mr. A. A. Hicks appeared for Rev. Wm. Royster, defendant, who pleaded not guilty. The whole day was consumed in examining witnesses, ttoyster was put on the stand and denied the charge against him and stood up well under the critical examination of Mr. N. B. Cannady. Mattie Harris took the stand with her inrant in ner arms and even under a severe and coaxing examina tion by the astute Col. Edwards stuck o it that Royster was the father of her child and that it was begotten while she was an inmate of the iail. It is said by some of those who saw the infant that it bore a striking re semblance to its reputed father. Quite a number of witnesses were examined on each side. After all the testimony was in Mr. J. Crawford Biggs arose and made the opening speech, and in a concise and plain way pointed out the law which re quired the defendant to proye his in nocence by a preponderence of evis dence, and if he failed in this it was the duty of the jury to find him guilty. Mr. Biggs, we are glad to say, is one of the coming young bar risters or our section and is rapidly making a reputation as a painstak ing lawyer. As soon as he concluded his excel ent argument it was agreed on the part of counsel to postpone further argument owing to the lateness of the hour and other circumstances until Saturday.

Ad- cock, of Franklin County, spent the night at Providence with his broth er-in law, Mr. Geo. Ferrell. One of his horses, early in the night was taken sick with the colic, and after being doctored by Messrs. Adcock and Ferrell the animal seemed to get better and they left it in the yard, not thinking that it would wander oft, but it seems that it did and about an hour afterwards the horse was heard crossing either the county or railroad bringe, and they went in search of him. On arriving at the county bridge they saw no signs of the horse -but heard a scuf fling on the railroad bridge near by They at once climbed the steep em bankment leading to Tar River bridge and found the horse on it, he having walked about 350 feet on a narrow plank in the middle of the bridge and had fallen between the cross ties and could not move. Neighbors were summoned and some 12 or 15 persons were soon on the spot and made arrangements to save tne horse. A watchman was placed up the road at each end of the bridge, and the crowd led by the Messrs. Wheeler, went to work. They proceeded to tie the horses feet in order that no one would be kicked over, the side of the bridge, which is over 60 feet from the water below. After they had him secure all hands took hold and landed the horse on a hand car that had been secured and rolled him back to the station whfrfi thv untied him. It took about three hours to get the hnrsp off the bridsre. No bones were broken but naturally the horse was badlv skinned up. The thanks of Mr. Adcock go out to the people .a of Hargrove tor their Kind assis tance. Mr. R. H. Pleasant.sof Pleasant, called to see the "old man" of the Public Ledger Saturday. THE TRIAL OF CLERK BROWN. He Had Left his Receipt Book at Ox ford, He Said. Raleigh, Jan. 13. In the Super ior Court here to-day the entire ses sion was devoted to the sensational trial of Enrolling Clerk J. W. Brown, of the Legislature, on the charge of permitting or causing to be enrolled the "assignment; act," which never passed the last Legis lature. Brown was the first witness in his own defense. He denied ever having seen the original act or en rolled bill and swore he never read the bill over with Miss Daisy Bran son, who copied it, as she had sworn. He was closely cross-examined. He swore the bill was never in his of fice, that he never knew of it till the great sensation about the act began, and he read the newspaper accounts; that Ti R. Purnell told him the num ber of the bill after he arrived here to join in the search for it. He said he believed Miss Branson was hon estly mistaken in her testimony. He was asked why he had not brought his receipt book in which entries were made ot oills given out to be copied for enrollment and replied that his attorney had told him there was no need to do so and that the book was at Oxford, his home. Solicitor Pou said he would argue that the bill was receipted for in the book, but Judge Mclver said in such case he would charge the jury to find that it was not re. ceipted for as there was no evidence to show it was. The solicitor said Miss Branson last Thuisday asked Brown to produce this book and that he refused to do so J. W. Lassiter, Brown's assistant clerk, was the next witness, and the defense, through him, tried to dis prove Miss Branson's , testimony. He gave out bills for copying, but swore he had never seen this original bill, and that Miss Branson did not read it over with Brown. The solicitor sprung a big surprise on Liassiter by asking him if he had ever been charged with crime. Lassiter re used to answer at first, but the judge ordered him to do so and he said he had beentiied for embezzlement and acquitted. Miss Branson was recalled, and swore she never took away a bill un less she receipted for it, or having some one in the enrolling clerk's office make a memorandum. Twenty prominent witnesses swore to her high character. Counsel for Biown urged the judge to quash the bill of indictment on the ground that Brown was not a State officer and so not liable. Ihe judge refused to quash. B. S. Roys ter, of Oxford and T. R. Purnell then argued. for the defense. Solic ltor Pou closed for the State. He said suggestions were being made that very prominent people were connecten with this great and unpar alleled crime; that if anybody placed him in possession of facts that would tend to show the guilt of any other person, no matter what was the lat ter s position, his reputation or his politics, he was ready to send a bill to the grand jury and to press the case against him as vigorously as he had pressed the case against Clerks Brown and Satterfield. Ihe solici tor made the points, first, that Miss Branson $ evidence was inconsistent with Brown's innocence; second, that Brown's receipt book would either show Miss Branson's receipt for the bill or the signature of some person who had signed for her: third that the character ot the evidence for the defence was not of a charac ter to warrant the jury in doubting Miss Branson, who had no interest in the matter. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced to one year's labor on the public roads and fined $250. Clerk Satterfield, of the lower house, who was convicted Saturday, of negligence was fined $250. The extreme penalty is stated to be $2,000 fine or imprisonment. Some lead ing Populists are asserting that the courts cannot get at the exact facts regarding the monumental fraud in securing the ratification of this act; that only a non partisan legislative committee can gt at the truth. Both Satterfield and Brcwn took an appeal and their bonds were fixed at five and six hundred dollars res spectively which were give. Declined to Receive their Preacher. Last year Rev. J. T. Stovall, of the Western North Carolina Confer- ence, M. jii. unurcn, ooutn, was in charge of Rock Spring circuit, Lin coln county. For some reason his people were dissatisfied with him. At the close of the year they paid him up in full hoping that the Con ference would send him elsewhere ; but the bishop promptly leturned him to the same circuit. His people, however, declined to receive Mr. Stovall and the bishop was compell ed to make a exchange. He found another minister whose wife was dis satisfied with her husband's appoint ment, and he sent him to Rock Spring and sent Mr. Stovall to the vacant charge. What the trouble was between Mr. Stovall and his people is not made public but the occurrence is an unusual one in the Methodist Church. The Methodists generally submit to the Conference discipline and endure whateytr is given them for a year at least. .Kev. otovall was formerly in charge of the Taylorsville circuit.

Tobacco Has Advanced on the Oxford flarket. Well, there is no doubt the buyers have got a regular move on them and have unloosened their pursB strings, and as Col. Henry Wilkin son would say, "are just making things howl" with high bids on all grades of the weed except "dog tail" which never rises or falls on any market as far as we know. The breaks Friday and Tuesday were good and all who had tobacco on our warehouses echo the satisfac tion of good sales.
