There really seems to be some thing in the negro movement in op position to Russell for Governor by a large number of the leading col ored men of the State. They have really called a convention to meet in Raleigh July 2. We wonder if they will be squelched by Russell money? As Granville has not had a del egate tp the National Democratic Convention since the war we take pleasure in recommending that the county convention instruct the dele gates to the Congressional conven tion to work for the nomination of our true blue townsman, Mr. N. B. Cannady. There is only one rule in a country like this fight as much as you please, either about religion or about politics: let the merry war go on as loner as vou feel the need of that kind of exercise, but the man who mixes politics and religion at the polls or in the primary meetings . , i ,i t 1. 1 : : is thereby aoing tne xvepuuiiu u, sen ous injury. -Senator Jones, of Arkansas who heads the Arkansas delegation to the Chicago convention, and who is one of the leading men in the sil ver movement, has invited each sil ver delegation to the convention to send one representative to Chicago o meet in conference there Tues day, June 30th.

We found him in good spirits as nis town is on regular hog and hominy boom, but red clay prevailed to a large ex tent. Said the railroad was still in the same place despite all the talk about silver and gold while the iron horse slipped over the rails daily. His honor was greatly tickled at the idea of the citizens of Oxford moying for re-establishment of electric lights as they were sadly needed as more light and better light would add to the prosperty of the town. '"Why," said he, "Reavisville can afford a plant for lighting and smoking the town, and is run by pine wood- I tell you we will soon be over the panic as blackberries are ripe, and a full crop, arid when watermillion are ripe our ommissioners will cut down expen ses. co-ablidate offices, and declare a divident as the 'coons' will be self sustaining." N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE UNDER THE SHELTERING ROCK. Death of Mr. W. H. Daniel of Tar River. Death is all the time doing its sad work in carrying from earth to eter nity those who are dear to their rela tives and friends, and who have served their community and country well. And it becomes the sad duty of the editor to chronicle the sudden death of one of Granville's highly es teemed and prosperous farmers, Mr. W. H, Daniel, familiarly known as "Uncle Buck," of Tar River section, which occurred Monday, after a short illness. On Saturday while Mr. Daniel was standing in his lot he was stricken down with paralysis, and although everything that medi cal skill could devise was done there was no staying the hand of death. He was a good citizen, husband, father, kind neighbor, and prosper ous and well-to-do farmer. He was ever willing to extend a helping hand to the needy, and being warm hearted loved to entertain his friends and neighbors. He was a member of the Baptist church and was about 73 years of age, and glad to aid anything that would advance Chris tianity in the world.. The editor well-remember the last time he was in Oxford of his grasp ing him by the hand telling us good bye, at the same time extending to us a cordial invitation to come out and see him. Little did we think it was our last good bye to our most highly esteemed friend on earth, but . .. ti t i o 1 in the "miasi oi lite, we are iu death." Were we to venture a word of consolation to the sorely distress ed wife, sons and daughters, and friends it would be that he has left a sweet memory, and when all life's lessons have been learned "Then we shall surely know tliat lengtnenca breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friends. And that sometimes the sable face of death Conceals the fairest boon his love can send. And if through patient toil we reaeh the end Where tired leet, witn sanaais loosea. may When we shall clearly know and understand. 1 think that we will say, uoa Knows ine Desi. The funeral services were cons duceed by Rev. R. H. Marsn Wed nesday morning at his late home, and largely attended. The remains were interred under the shadow or the home where he had spent his haooiest davs on earth, and now sleep quietly in the windowless house of the dead.

Na ture needs no more food than she calls for. Continued excess brings about in digestion or dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, ambition and mental power; and an accumulation of aches, pains and many dangerous local maladies. The stomack now can do nothing alone. We must appeal to artificially digested food which can also digest other foods. That is to say, we must use the Shaker Digestive Cordial.

To the people of Granville county and especially the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ: We hereby ad monish you of two strangers who are canvassing our county in the inter est of Mormonism, seeking to under mine and uproot every form of or ganized Christianity, teaching that our church is "Apostate," "the whore of all the earth," "the mother of harlots," asserting that the book of "Mormon is the word of God" and that the Holy Bible is not a sufficient rule of faith and practice. They come calling themselyes "saints," transforming themselves into an angel of light; they enter your home, leave their poison and are gone be fore you are aware of their charac ter. Men and brethren, we take the privilege by this method to forewarn you of the seductive influences of such seductive pretentions, and that you may be guarded against the ap proach of the vile literature which they circulate. Away with it. Let as with all vigilance preserve invio late the sacredness and purity of our homes, and stand by the old Bible that has stood the test of ages and is yet "A lamp to our feet and a light to our path." In the interest of humanity and Christianity, W. S. Hester. OIl JPeopTe. Old people who require medicine to regulate the bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.

Our people were very much sad dened at the death of Will White, eldest son of Capt. W. H. White, which occurred in Oxford, Monday night, 15th instant, at 10:30 o'clock. He was just entering upon man's estate, about 23 years old, and his sudden death is a great shock to his family and friends. He had recently accepted a posi tion on the Norfolk & Carolina rail road and came home on sick leave just two days before he died. For several years he was a member of the U. S. army and enjoyed the con fidence and esteem of his officers, but tiring or this mode ot living he re turned to Oxford about a year ago to remain with his friends and kin dred. His was a quiet, modost and unassuming disposition and he en joyed the confidence and love of a large circle of friends. He was true and faithful as a friend and tender and affectionate as a son and broth er, and his untimely end is a deep affliction to his family. He was a member of the Granville Grays and was yery popular among his com rades. His funeral was conducted by Revs. J. M. Horner and J. F. Plum- mer from the Episcopal church on Tuesday afternoon at 0:30 o'clock, the Granville Grays acting as mili tary escort, and as the sun was slow ly sinking behind the Western hills all that was mortal of Will White was laid to rest in Elmwood ceme tery. While the grave was being filled Mrs. R. W. Lassiter, Mrs. J. S Hunt, Mrs. H. G. Cooper, Miss May Francis and Mr. John Hall and oth ers rendered most touchmgly "Asleep in Jesus" and "Rock of Ages." The following were the pall bear ers: Lee Meadows, J. P. Meadows, W. J. Long, W. D. Currin, Ed Lan dis Ed Osborn, Douglas Lynch and W. T. Clement.

Hillsboro, N. C, June 10, '90. Hon. A. W. Graham, Oxford, N. C. In regard to the circular issued by Louis de Lacroix, it was not signed by me nor was any one authorized to sign my name to it. When I was in Oxford at last couut Mr. de Lacroix told me he had prepared a circular which he wished to issue, and would like for me to get some signatures to it, and would like to read it to me. After he had done so, I told him that the sentiment for silver in the Democratic party was overwhelming, and I saw no good that could be ac complished by the circular. He then asked me to take the circular, and if I concluded to sign it or get others to do so to return to him. Ho then handed me a printed copy, and when I came home and read it oyer care fully 1 found much that I could not endorse, and saw no reason why any circular should bo issued and threw it aside; neither signed it myself nor asked anyone else to do so. I was surprised to see the circular appear with my name to it, as I had not signed it nor given him any author ity to put my name to it, nor ap proved ot its issue. I do not despair of relief from the condition that confronts us, and haye believed that a practical solu tion could be made by tne extreme men at both ends yielding something to effect an adjustment, and the arcest possible use and circulation of silyer kept on a parity with other money; and the substitution or silver on tho basis of National Bank circu- ation instead of U.
