Tyre, of Trinitv Col lege will preach in the Methodist church bunday, both morning and night. Mr. Tyre is a very fine preacher. Everybody cordially in vited to hear him. W. B. Tarkinton has severed his connection with the Orphans' Friend and left on Monday for Leaksville where he will engage in the publica tion of a paper. Joy go with him and peace behind him. The Horner Military School opened up Monday with a good at tendance, and the number of schol ars have been greatly augmented during the week. Quite a number ot the old boys haye returned. The notorious demagogue, Judd Dalby, is aspiring to be the dummy put up at Durham today (Thursday) to assist in plecting Settle. Well, he would fill the bill as a dummy while he filled his pocket with Hanna's boodle. Maine went Republican by an increased majority. It is said that the sub-Hannacrats voted the Re publican ticket. The only consola tion the Democrats have is that they gained 3.000 votes over the previous election. Mrs. Dick Frazier, a most esti mable lady of the Whetstone section, died on Sunday last in the 73rd year of her age. She was a member of the Baptist church, kind friend and neighbor and her loss will be keenly felt in the community. The editor will say to the "sap heads" and "smart Alex's" that take such a delight in "going back" on he "old man" because he has opin ions and rights that he dares to maintain, to go it as your venum is as "sounding brass and tinkling symnal." Danny Russell and Z. V. Walser will speak in Oxford on Saturday, the 26th. We wonder if our Popu list friends will tender the two Mc Kinleyites a rousing reception, as Peace says the Populists do not want a free silver Congress this time but a Republican one. The circulation of the Public Ledger is increasing daily among all classes of our people, and hence is a valuable advertising medium for our business men. Send in your ad vertisements and we will aid you very materially in your business and give you value received. Just listen at Capt. A. S. Peace. Because it is in the deal to elect Tommy Settle to Congress he says it is not well to elect a free silver Con gress this year, but some other year. What a slaughter the "cold hard stuff" makes with principles and pa triotism these days! We wonder if he has been "hoodooed?" The EDisconalians of Fair - port will lay the corner stone of a house of worship on Saturday, Oct. 10th. The occasion is expected to be one of unusual interest. Several clergymen and distinguished speak ers will be present. Dinner will be provided on the grounds and the public is cordially invited. If you are seeking farms else where and afe determined to leave Granville you cannot do better than to write Mr. S. Y. Gilliam, Church Roads, Dinwiddie county, Va. Messrs. W. W. Knott, J. L. Clay, Fielding Knott, and John H. Bul lock have such an abiding faith in the lands of that county that they have bought lands there. Bryan and Kitchin Club; At n meetinc of the Brvan and Kitehin Clnb Wednesday evening, Dr. J. P. Stedman and Chief Renn were appointed a committee to look after the decoration of the car that will be occupied by the club enroute to Raleigh Thursday to the Bryan speaking. On motion a committee of three from each voting precinct in Oxford Township to look after the new registration of voters, were appointed by the chairman as fol lows: North Oxford, W. Z. Lyon, E. T. Crews and J. Y- Paris, South Oxford, B. S. Royster, A. J. Feild and R. W. Day. Women in the majority are not so wild to vote, but they are possess ed of a keen desire to discover some thing that will keep the hair in curl when old humidity rules with a drip ping hand. OXFORD, N. (JLENN'S great speech. Earnest, Convincing and Telling Ar gument in Favor of Bryan. It was a grand speech, that of Hon. Robt. B. Glenn at Oxford on the 15th instant. No great gatheiing was ex pected as the date had not been well advertised and it had been only a short while since the great debate of Kitchin and Settle. But they under estimated the deep interest of the people who expected empty benches. The attendance was large. White and black. Democrat, Populist and Republican sat and paid rapt atten tion, while the speaker told them of their danger. He told them how for want of an income tax the weak had to bear the burdens that the strong should bear, how Rockefeller worth $125, 000,000, paid tax on only $300,000; how Vanderbuilt worth $100,000,000 paid tax on only $225,000. Then he told about the trusts that had ena bled these great fortunes to be accu mulated were still at work suckiner the life blood out of the country Then he portrayed the money trust, that greatest ot all trusts, as a fear f ul monster living in Lombard street, London, and Wall street, New York, and the speakers words came thick and fast and his whole frame quiver ed with indignation as he told how this monster had planted his foot on the cotton fields of the Suth and the grain fields of the West and brought desolution into the homes of those who toil; how he breathed into the furnances and the fire went out and labor had to go hungry and rag ged for want of a job. Then he told of the poor in the great cities, whom amidst hunger and misery death was claimine inch by inch and day by day. This picture must livo and burn in the minds of those who were pre sent. lnen tue saa trutii naa to come. The listeners were told how the sin gle gold standard had dragged down prices, and clogged the wheels of business; and how Mark Hanna and the Republican party were pledged to maintain this "present gold stan dard;" how all these trusts and mighty millionaires were banded to gether to still further crush the people. Then he told them of the double standard and the relief offered by Democratic, Populist and Silver parties, and reasoned with them in such a plain, straight forward way that the most ignorant could under stand. He told them how prosperi ty would rouow tne tree coinage of silver, and how labor could get its just reward. He told them how it was right and just, and how each man had to decide for himseif on which side he would stand, They were told how the issue was drawn and how party lines had been over ridden, and how the people found themselves face to face with a ques tion of right and wrong. The speakers description of Bry an and Cy Watson was beautiful as he told of their ability, courage, honesty and withal, christian piety. Thecrowii was profoundly impress ed. The many Populists present ex pressed their pleasure at the speech and many say the silver forces must get together and fight the common enemy of all. We wish every voter in Granville county could have heard the speech. One who heard must have believed that God and the right weie on the side of the man who spoke as this man did. What a "llixtry." Thomas Settle the Republican can didate for Congress spent Sunday m Oxford. During the day Louis de Croix, who poses as such a good De mocrat that he cannot vote for Bryan, called and had a long con ference with him. A. S. Peace, just fresh from the caucus at Raleigh, where they agreed to support Settle, and A. J. D.ilby, both professing to be advocates of silver, and several negroes, were closeted with Sets tie during his stay in Oxford. Now, white men of Granville, wheth er you be Democrats or Populists, can you be deceived by any such would be leaders. By the way, can anybody tell us how long since Mr. de LaCroix be come a Democrat and how many De mocratic yotes he ever cast? It has been suggested to us that his socall ed Democracy dates only from 1892 and that his conduct shows that he has already returned to his first love, and he will find that the Democrats of North Carolina are not so easily gulled as he imagined. At any rate we do net think his re sidence among us or his affiliation with the party is of such a length as to justify him in attempting to teach true Democracy to our people, and as to the other two, Peace and Dalby, nobody who knows them, has one particle of faith in their professions. They are pot house politicians of the lowest order and would sacrifice Bryan and the whole silver cause, to vent their spite on some Democrat they did not like, or to gain for them selves a little $700 office. The negroes of course were perfectly at home, and gloated over the diyisions among the white people. Free I'ills. Send vour address to H. E.

WILL THEY SUBfllT TO IT? Tommle Settle to be Returned to Congress by Populist Votes. We feel it our duty to say a word or two about certain deals and com bines which have been made in the past few days. Certain leaders of the Republican and Populist parties have deliberately and solemnly ens tered into an agreement whereby the liberties and rights of the men who make these two parties are bar tered and sold like articles of com merce. The Populist party has been loud and unrelenting in its demands for free silver and we believed they were in earnest, but now that they have it in their power in this district to aid in electing Kitchin to Congress, who meets every requirement of the most zealous silver adyocate at the dicta tion of certain leaders of the Popu list, Republican and Hannacrat par ties, they purpose nominating a can didate to-day (Thursday) at Durham, for no other reason than to elect Settle. We well remember that these same Populists leaders only a few months ago said, they served notice on Set tle that he MUST BE BEAT because he voted against free silver. What has brought this change about? Was it Hanna? Can it be that our Populist friends, the rank and file of the party, will be duped by these designing selfish offieeseek ers and boodle hunters? We will not believe the trade can be consu mmated their must still remain the old time honesty of purpose and de votion to principle amoug our peo ple, and these hired henchmen of Republicanism will be given to uns derstand that the clink of Mark Hanna's monopolist gold cannot swerve our people from their deter mination to vote for silver and vote in such a way as that something will be accomplished. Again it is very significant that Settle's strongest friends in this county have been exceedingly active iu urging the Populists to nominate a man that Settle may be re-elected. Republican leaders have traveled the county, and urged eveiy delegate to attend the Populist convention and put up a dummy against Kitchin. Mr. Settle's record in Congress and his declarations on the stump in this eounty show clearly that he is an enemy to silver. He is the pet of the American Tobacco Company and ranks high with with all trnsts and monopolies. And we venture the assertion that every buyer on each tobacco market in the district is a strong Settle man. Do the honest, fair-minded and in telligent members of the Populist party in Granville intend to be led into such a trap? Are you ready to sacrifice every principle that makes np your manhood and be driven like cattle? We appeal to the pride and intelligence of our farmer friends who are in favor of silver and ask them to set the seal of their condem nation on all such unholy alliances for money consideration. Are you willing that the American Tobacco Company shall, in addition to fixing the price of your tobacco at a mere pittance, name your Congressman? Are you no longer freemen and have you no independence? Oh, men of Granyille, who are as brave as the bravest and as true as ever the sun shone on, be up and doing and let the cause you love and believe to be right have your most earnest support as your liberties are at stake. Are you willing to eon tinue to be serfs to the American Tobacco Company and other trusts? We are not drawing on our imagi nation, and can furnish the proof that inducements are offered to bring about the running of a third man for Congress. We wish every man m Granyille who is a Populist from principle could have seen the caucassing and manipulations that have been going on here between Mr. Settle and his friends and certain leaders of the Hannacrats and the boodle hunting leaders. Such sights are enough to disgust the good men of the Populist party and we shall belieye they are still on the side of right. A Quiet Wedding. Our esteemed young friend, Mr. Frank Spencer, the very efficient agent of the Western Union and Southern Express Company, and Miss Gertrude, the fine looking daughter of Mrs. Alston, the faith ful Matron at Hospital of the Orphan Asylum, were married in the parlor of that building W ednesday morning at 11 o'clock, by Rev. J. B. Hurley. Mr. James Osborn was best man, and Miss Daisy Alston, sister of the bride was maid of honor. Only a few friends were present to witness the ceremony that made two of our popular young one in heart and hand. Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Spencer left for Virginia to visit relatives followed by the best wishes of a host of friends tor their future happiness. Revival. Rev. Walter Pattillo, an able col ored divine, is conducting an im mense revival at the First Baptist church, and scores have professed religion. When the meeting is over and he gets ready to baptize them we wonder if those two great big, puffed up, immaculate "colored gemmen" Revs. Bellie Royster and Billie Harris will lise up in their great and only majesty and proclaim the edict has gone forth that "thou shalt not bap tize anybody save in the interest of the two Billie and the Republican party." KITCHIN AND SETTLE. Their Joint Canvass in Granville County. The Hon. W. W. Kitchin, Demo cratic candidate for Congress, and the Hon. Thomas Settle, Republican candidate, have finished their joint canvass of this county. They spoke at Oxford, Wilton, Stem and Buchanan on the 10th, 11th,' 12th and 14th inst. respectiyely. There are a great many striking features of this canvass, one of which is the unusually large attendance. lhis means that the people are pro foundly interested. Eyery man feels an abiding interest in the result. They know that one or the other will represent us in the next Consress: they know the great and all absorb ing question of free silver will come before the next Congress; they know Ivuchin will vote for free silver: they know Settle will vote against it, and they know they must choose between these two. Hence the great interest manitested. The platform upon which Settle stands otters no relief, and Settle in his speeches offers no relief. The The platform and the candidate both offer us only a return to Republican rule and a continuance of the pres ent gold standard." The Democratic platform and can didate offer us relief from the trusts and the rulers of Wall street, the greatest trust of all; they offer us the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 10 to 1 without awaiting England's aid or anybody elses consent. They otter us a finan cial policy administered in the inter est of the people and not in the in terest of American and foreign gold syndicates. In the discussions we have had at the different appointments in the county Kitchin has pounded Settle with these facts until the people see and know what the true situation is Kitchin's arguments have not been answered, and cannot be answered, because they are founded upon fact and truth and justice and morality Now what shall we do? The gold Democrats have left us and joined themselves unto their idols. The Re publicans are standing shoulder to shoulder with them. They are rein forced by the trust and monopolies that are crushing and sapping the life out of the people. These are the hosts that are led by Settle. What shall be done? There is but one hope, but one salvation, and that is the union of all the silver force and friends of the people on the side of Kitchin. In the face of a common enemy the silver forces must unite and present a solid front. If we do victory is certain ; if we don't the odds are with the enemy. In timeof peace the Democrats and Populists may afford to marshal their own hosts separately, but when war is made upon the peoples rights, upon your houses and firesides, when a common enemy is upon you, your only hope is in union. Should English gun boats open fire on our sea coast towns, in the twinkling of an eye, there would be no North, no South, no Pop ulist, no Democrat, but 70 millions of Americans defending a common country. This same England is today through her single gold standard making a quiet and peaceful, though withal a deadly attack on the very life of our nation. She has her finan cial agents and generals here divids ing our people. Can the friends of America hesitate? Can the honest Populist or Democrat halt for one moment as to his duty? Can he co operate with the enemy? Can he pro mise the enemy to throw away his strength? To do such iu time of open war is treason. To do so in this se cret and deadly war is treason alike to your country, your home family. Should the Populist leaders by an unholy contract with that common enemy the Republican party, put out a ticket in this district, we hope the party will not ratify the deal by sup porting the ticket. This is a fight between right and wrong; you must answer for your action to your con science and your God, and not to your Executive Committee. Right cannot cooperate with wrong. Good cannot fuse with evil. If such is at tempted good and the right is lost and only evil and the wrong triumph. Personal. It was a pleasure to the editor to meet in his offiee Wednesday his old friend Col. J. C. Tipton, of the Ruth erfordton Democrat. He informed us that he would move his paper to Oxford in a few days as it had been adopted, we take it, as the State or gan of the gold standard Democrat, and will ardently advocate Palmer and Buckner. We will welcome the Colonel to Oxford as he is an accom plished gentleman, an honored mem ber of the State Press Association and kiows how to push the pencil. Ephriam to the Front.

The true rank and file of the Pop ulists who are in favor of principles above spoils are "hot" at the action of the few othce holders trading them off to the Republicans in Raleigh last week. But it is hardly probable that there is backbone enough to or ganize a kick against the committee, as it is quite broadly intimated that the latter knew well before it acted that the great majority of Populists wanted to go with the Republicans.

WILL NOT VOTE FOR PEARSON. Ninth District Populists Indignant at the Recent Trade. Asheville, N C, Sept. 12. The Populists of Western North Carolina are not for sale, and they are indig nant because the Populist State com mittee tried to sell them out to Rich mond Pearson. Yesterday, as soon as he heard of the deal, Goe. W. Justice, secretary of tho Poople's party executive committee for the Ninth Congressional district, sent the following letter to Hal. W. Ayei, chairman of the People's party State Executive committee: "I am anxious to know by what authority or under whose instruc tions your committee has acted in attempting to deliver the votes of the 1,400 patriotic free silver Popu lists of the Ninth Congressional dis trict into the hands of that arch enemy of Populism, the vacillating and political changeling, Richmond Pearson. "I would state for your informa tiou that the Populists in this part of the State are too patriotic to al low their franchise to be bartered off in any such manner, and that they will not be bound by any such in famous trade, but will follow tho ad vice of our candidate for Governor, Maj. Guthrie, and vote for, J. S. Adams for Congress from this dis trict, unless we put up our own can didate and there is some chance of his being elected. I know the senti ment of the Populists of this dis trict, and they are highly insulted at such infamous deal, and they will not vote for Pearson, or any other politician of his stripe, who is advo cating the election of a gold bug for the Presidency."
