We have always, been "stuck"
on Joe Caldwell, as he is an ideal

to candidate Bryan in the splendid
Sunday edition of the Charlotte Ob

Whenever a Congressional dis
trict, like the Fifth, is in doubt and
a thi-d ticket impedes the great tree
silver cause, even ii out friend Capt.
A. S. Peace, a Populist, did say that
a free silver Congress would imperil
the country, it is the duty of free sil
ver fore.es to unite on Kitchin and
defeat Slippery Tommie Settle as he
is the American Tobacco Company's
candidate and a gold bug.
: Monday night Durham was all
enthusiasm as the silver champion
of this district, W. W. Kitchin, and
Siippery Tommie Settle, the Ameri
can Tobacco Co.'s pet and gold stand
ard Republican, spoke in Parrish's
warehouse to 2,500 people. We hear
that the noble Kitchin is giving the
trust candidate all he wants, and
more too. He has the true silver peo
ple behind him and is bound to win
his election.
A Correction.
We learn through one of our
friends that Dr. de Lacroix says that
we did him an injustice in saying in
our last issue ttat he had "only been
a Democrat since 1892" but instead
had voted the ticket for 12 years. It
is a pleasure to us to make the cor
rection as we haye no desire to do
him an injustice. But its strikes us
that 12 years ago was the time the
mugwump Republicans of New Eng
land took up Grover Cleveland and
succeeded at last in winning him
. t i n Tk i i
over to tne ranus or rtepuuueamsm
as his record clearly proves him to
be a warm friend of monopolists and
gold kings of this country and Eng
land, of which our esteemed friend
Dr. de Lacroix is an ardent sup
porter.
Rev. Shorter Caldwell.
Our Presbvterian friends are to be
greatly congratulated on getting so
able and useful a pastor as Rev.
Shortor Caldwell. He was employed
for a short time by the church here
some time ago and proved himself to
e a most acceptable and attractive
minister. That he will please his
conerreeration and build up the inter
est of Presbyterianism in Oxford may
be considered as beyond doubt, rie
entered on his duties last Sunday
and his sermons on that day are said
to have been very good indeed. His
wife and children will arrive soon
and move into the parsonage.

C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1896.
PASSED AWAY.
i
Death of Mr. S. W. Dickerson and
Mr. C. J. Bobbitt.
It is with feelings of deep sorrow
that we record the death of an old
citizen, Mr. Samnel W. Dickerson,
of Fishing Creek township, who has
been going about in this .community
for over four score years a man of
high character, of modest disposition
and greatly esteemed. Up to the
very day of his death his mental fac
ulties were good and his health too
has been good up to the time when
he was summoned to the world be
yond. He was a man who was pf
agreeable disposition, kind aid
neighborly. He was never disposed
to put himself forward. He was a
farmer of industrious habits and
raised his family in a quiet, unpre
tentious manner and taught his boys
by precept and example how to work.
He was our friend. He was always
a subscriber to the Public Ledger,
and indeed as long as we have car
ried on the newspaper business in
Oxford he has always been a sub
scriber, and another thing be it said
to his credit he always paid the
printer. His dealings with every
body were just and honorable. He
was a remarkable man in the strength
of his constitution and apparently
looked as if he might have been
spared to live many years longer, but
Providence in His wisdom ordered
otherwise. He was found dead in
his bed early Monday morning. The
day before he had complained a lit
tle of colic but no alarm was felt for
his safety. He was married twice
and leaves behind a large eirele of
children and grand children. He
often called at the Public Ledger
office and .vas always a welcome yis
itor whom we delighted to greet
under the familiar name of "Uncle
Sammie."
We sorrow with the members of
his bereaved family almost as if we
were allied to him by a family tie
and together with them we will ever
recall his long career with emotions
of respect and affection. The burial
took place Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock at his late home, where he
lived 50 years, witnessed by a large
concourse of friends and neighbors.
DEATH OF MR. BOBBITT.
Again the sad duty of publishing
the death of a true and tried friend
of the Public Ledger falls to our
lot though not a resident of this
county since Vance county was es
tablished. Mr. C. J. Bobbitt died on
Saturday last at his home in Vance
county in the G4th year of-his age
after an illness of some weeks. Mr.
Bobbitt is of the well known Bobbitt
family of Granville and a cousin of
our esteemed friend, Capt. W. O.
Bobbitt.
The deceased was a man of much
kindness of heart, had many warm
friends in both Vance and Granville.
He was successful as a farmer and
in the management of his affairs, and
out of his ability he often did acts of
kindness for those less fortunate.
He will be greatly missed by his
neighbors and his county as he was
a useful and prominent citizen. To
the bereaved family we extend our
condolence.
The Hannacrat Organ.
Dr. de Lacroix gives it that his
Hannacrat organ, to be published in
Oxford, will start out with a guaran
teed circulation of 10,000 in the
State. It is no doubt guaranteed by
the money of the monopolists put in
the hands of Dr. de Lacroix to spread
the gold doctrine throughout North
Carolina to help elect McKinley and
trust men to Congress.
No doubt he will pv.t the following
notice, which we find in a religious
paper published in New York in the
interest of the gold standard, in his
columns: "This paper is forwarded
to you for a number of weeks. No
bill will be sent. Please read, di
gest" and yote for a Hannacrat which
is a vote for McKinley.
They Will Sell It.
The warehouse firm of Cooper &
Wilkinson is proying one of the
strongest teams that has been in the
trade in Oxford for years. They are
unceasing m their efforts to secure
the highest prices on all grades of
tobacco for their large trade, and
hence their great popularity.
Bear in mind, farmers, that the old
Minor is numbered with the best
houses in the State, and you cannot
do better than sell your crop on its
well lighted floors. Read Cooper &
Wilkinson's advertisement elsewhere
and load up and try them if you
wish to secure the highest market
prices.

if it was possible for us to print every
word we heard fall from the lips of
the noble people's candidate for Pres

SILVER FORCES UNITED.
Insures the Vote of Onr Good Old
State for Bryan.
The State Executive Committees of
the Democratic, Populist and Silver
parties have arranged an electoral
ticket that insures the vote of our
good old State for Bryan. On this
ticket there are five Democrats, five
Populists and one member of the Sil
ver party. For this ticket all the
silver forces will vote. According
to this arrangement the elector for
this district is William Merritt whose
name we put at the head of our edi
torial column.
It is encouraging to see that when
a great crisis is upon us the great
body of the people can lay aside their '
petty differences, their party pride
and their prejudices and fight to
gether for their common good. It
shows a spirit of tolerance that is
commendable in the extreme. They
sacrifice no principle, because they
are all striving to attain the same
end.
It was Mark Hanna's fondest hope
that the forces should be kept apart,
but his hopes are dashed to pieces.
The people have at last realized that
about 100 men headed by Hanna con
trol the finances of this country and
are trying to make slaves of those
who toil. In order to hold their grip
on the government they are spend
ing their money in every possible
way to thwart the will of the people.
They are the men that run free ex
cursions for the laboring men to hear
McKinley, that flood the country
with deceptive gold literature, and
that "compass land and sea to make
one prosylite."
And now comes the news that Dr.
de Lacroix has gone off and gotten
Col. Tipton to come here and run a
gold paper to teach us patriotism and
national honor. We serve notice on
him now that our people desire no
instruction in that code of honor that
teaches that trusts should be formed
to increase the price of what the peo
ple buy and to depress the price of
labor, and that they desire no patri
otism that forms a co-partnership
with the money changers of Europe,
and that wiil not act at home with
out foreign consent.
No, our people are made of sterner
stuff. The co-operation on the elec
toral ticket shows it, and when Han
na counts up the cost of his North
Carolina gold paper and divide it by
the yotes it makes him, he will find
to his sorrow that his bargain is a
bad one indeed.
And in order that we may save our
county and Legislature from Repub
hcan and negro rule, we think it
highly desirable that the Democrats
and Populists should get together in
the county.

Politics are now most all the go
with nearly every one. Shall we
have another mess to preside in office
as did two years ago? Now is the
time to correct your error and come
back to the rescue. Is it right to
abuse a man because he supported
Cleveland in the campaign 4 years
ago? Why not stand at the polls this
election like a man and vote for
Kitchin for Congress that this dis
trict may have a better representa
tive in Congress or one that will not
dodge the roll call as did Slippery
Tommie Settle? A Lad.

with a handsome present that sells
for 50 cents. His store is now head

CARRYINQ OUT THE TRADE.
Otho Wilson Working the Sell-out to
the Gold-bugs.
"Well, I see by your skillful ac
tion at Durham yesterday you are
carrying out the bargain made with
the Republican," said a reporter to
Commissioner S. Otho Wilson yester
day. Mr. Wilson is chairman of his
precinct, township, county, Senator
ial, jadicial and Congressional Popu
list committees, is a member of the
Populist State Central committee
and a middle-of the-roader.
"Yes, when they make a bargain
the Populists always carry it out to
the letter. It will be carried out as
we always carry out our promises,"
he said. "The thing that hurts you.
Democrats is that you don't like the
contract."
Now the contractor agreement en
tered into by the Republican and
Populist committees regarding fu
sion on Congressmen was this: The
Populists candidates are to receive
the vote of the Republicans in the
First. Third, Fourth, Sixth and Sev
enth districts; the Populists are to
support Linney in the 8th. In the
2nd, 5th and 9th the Populists are to
support the Republican nominees.
And in case it is found that the gold
bug Republican nominee cannot be
elected, except by a division of the
silver vote, .the Populists will in
these three last named districts put
up a nominee to divide the silyer
vote. In the Fifth district the only
way on earth to re-elect Tom Settle
is to divide the silver vote. Mr. Otho
Wilson was on hand at Durham to
see that the contract with the gold
bugs was cariied out. Mr. Wilson
is endeavoring to carry out the terms
of the sell out to the gold bugs.

moving in with her family, including
her attractive daughter, Miss Liliie.
Ye inyalids of Granyille! come to
our town and be cured for here we
haye recently discovered a splendid
mineral water. It has been analyzed
and is said to stand at the head of
the list.
Mr. I. W. Mangum, of Horner
School, was in Creedmoor Sunday,
and rode back to Oxford after 9:30
p. m. We think there must be a
magnetic force here to draw him so
far for so short a while.
Miss Mary Taylor is in Creedmoor
again and can be seen quite fre
quently riding around town on her
wheel. Miss Taylor is a very grace
ful 'cyclist as well as an excellent
teacher. We wish her a most pleas
ant term in Creedmoor.
Quite a number of our people went
to Durham last week to see and hoar
our President-elect, Hon. William J.
Bryan. Ever so many of the school
boys got left by tho train and had to
stay over in Durham all night, and
we hear one got to crying for his
"papa."
The school at Creedmoor Academy
is being taught by .Prof. L. T. Bu
chanan and his assistants. A large
number of names have been ei. roiled
and new ones are coming in each
week. The old building was much
too small to accommodate so many
hence a large new room is being
added. Between 30 and 40 young
men are here including one from
Durham and two who went to Hor
ner last year. This is indeed a splen
did school for both male and female
and we ask all parents to send your
children here. Prof. Buchanan has
had long experience in teaching and
is a most excellent teacher, while
Miss Taylor manages her room to
perfection and Miss Emya Buchanan
who won a medal in a large class of
48 taught by that "Princess" of
teachers, Miss Willie Smoot, cannot
be otherwise than qualified to teach
music to all who care to learn. Mr.
Buchanan has quit3 a number of
boarding students and some others
board in the neighborhood. We wish
him and family a most prosperous
school and a happy home in Creed
moor. Elm Jay.
