Our warehouses had good breaks of tobacco Tuesday. uemocratic prospects are 1m proving as time rolls on. Rev. Shorter Caldwell preached at Louisburg on ounday. As the 15th of October is with us everybody can shoot birds. Tobacco continues to be sola in large quantities on our market. Mr. Rufus Knott has entered regularly into the grocery business For several days the past week tires weie in demand, and many stoves were put up. The new Second Colored Baptist church has been covered and work begin soon on the inside. Kemember you can nave your job printing done at the Public Led ger office at bottom ngures. The last of all the Republican Congressmen to come down is Pat Massey in the Fourth district. Ex-Governor Smith, for years an uncompromising Republican of Ala bama, has taken the stump tor Bryan and free silver. Republican State Chairman Holton now estimates the number of negro voters in the State at 120, 000. This is 10,000 in excess of pre vious estimates. Mr. Brodie Jeffreys, of Mt. En ererv, we learn, has bought a planta tion near Hansford, Va., and will move over there near the end of the vear. He is a srood citizen and we regret to lose him from Granville. The Democratic leaders have in side information that the Republi cans have put aside eight million dollars for the purpose of buying votes on election day. Manna has despaired of winning except by bribery. The ladies of the Baptist church will arive a sociable Friday night at the residence of Mr. John Webb. Thb proceeds go towards heating their new church. Everybody in vited to attend and spend a pleasant evening. Unless the gold standard monop oly, the American Tobacco Trust and kindred combines are defeated by the election of Bryan and a Free Silver Congress a gulf of poverty awaits the masses. Which side are you on? Those Democrats who have regs istered should see that their neigh bors have done the same. If there are any lukewarm or careless Demo crats in youi neighborhood go to them and see that they register Sat urday without fail. We shall remain true to the op pressed people, and stand unawed by trusts, greed or gain and continue to battle for their freedom from the yoke of bondage of the money kings that have brought poverty to the doors of our farmers. And so Uanna is getting ready to buy up the voters! Ine World quotes him as saying: "Chairman Hanna is determined that every one of the Middle States shall be carried for McKinley, no matter what it costs, or the consequences." Lookout for speaking at Wilkins. on Saturday, Oct. '17th, at 1 o'clock, at which time Mr. Alex. J. Feild, candidate for the Legislature, and Mr. J. Crawford Biggs will address the people of that section. Let every body turn out and hear them. Mr. and Mrs. Wash Lynch have commenced housekeeping. They are occupying the Dr. J. M. Hays residence on College street. Mrs. Emma Lynch will board with Mrs. T. D. Clement, and thus another old home in Oxford is broken up. The Populist party appears, if one may juage, io De aiviaea into the machine and the rank and file. The idea of the machiue is to main tain the party's existence no matter at what cost, it is said many or tne party have broken away from the machine Well, the Puguc Ledger is just now subject to a boycott by a few gold bugs, but it makes no difference to us as we are on the side of the people and intend to continue the fight against trusts that are respon sible for bringing poverty to the doors of our farmers so long as we get patronage enough to continue to run the paper, and no boycott will change our course. Capt. Sidney Minor, commander of the Granville Grays, having re- signed night place. an election was held Monday in Armory Hall to fill his The clever First Lieutenant, Skinner, was unanimously Hugh plected CaDtain. and Second Lieuten ant S. O. Ellington was chosen First Lieutenant. Second Sergeant Wade H. Britt ws the choice for Second Lieutenant of the company. It is said to have been juite an interest ing event among military boys. OXFORD, N. Mrs. Joe Baird, who has been several days, is much improved. Mr. Ben Hicks, the father of our townsman, Mr. A. A. Hicks, we re gret to learn, is sick at his home near Carlton. Mr. J. J. Medford says if you are looking for cheap goods just drop into his store next door to Lynch's jewelry store. The State Democratic Central Committee have offered the Populists fusion all along the line in the State, from Goyernor down to county offi cers. Very large crowds attended the stereoptican views of B. T. Babbitt's soap wagon show in town last week. The views were splendid as was also the music. It is with sorrow we learn as we go to press of the critical illness of our warm friend N. B. Canhady, and sincerely hope he will recover from his severe attack. Democrats and Populists, who are white men, which do you prefer to represent you in the Legislature, white men or negroes? Decide the matter for yourselves. Mr. Jesse Pitchford has bought from Mr. R. C. Jones his residence just in the rear of Major B. S. Roys ter and is erecting thereon a commo dious stable and barn. Mr. Henry Stuart zie Ellington entered state of matromony evening last. Squire and Miss Liz into the holy on Saturday S. V. Ellis performing the ceremony. The campaign in Granville has risen to fever heat and blood is on the moon, but even with all that we believe the cause of the people will triumph over trusts and greed, Cy Watson, the Democratic can didate for Governor, is still sick at his home in Winston. Every true Democrat in North Carolina wishes him a speedy restoration to health. Albert B. Hughes, son of our old barber friend, H. T. Hughes, who now makes his home in Boydton, Va., arrived in Oxford Thursday and was married to Ruth Hamilton. It was a runaway match and we trust they will have no cause to regret the step taken. Our friend Billy Brown is strict ly in the swim now, as he has a pic nic serving notices on the registrars and poll-holders of their appoint ment. It is estimated that the pres ent eleccion law will cost the tax-payers of the State about $40,000 to put it in operation. One of the Populist committee men savs it is his desire "to see the Democratic State chairman approach fopulist headquarters Dealing a white flag in token of absolute sur render." Some of the Populists actually think they could have forc ed the Democrats to give them all eleven electors. Mr. Jerome Tunstall killed at Bullock a carrier pigeon a few days ago. On the bands around the legs was A. S. H. C 155-9G-D. C. Charley Bennett, of Eairport, caught one in his father s yard several days ago which has become quite a pet. It had on a brass rim on one of its legs 25705 T. There is really total abstinence in uaoarrus. ine uoncora Times says: "There is a gentlemen in No. 2 township, this county, who says he never took a drink of intoxicating liquor, never swore an oath, never took a chew of tobacco, never smok ed, neyer ate an ounce of butter, and never drank a glass of milk or cup of tea or coffee." The Rev. John J. Lloyd, Rector of Grace church, Lynchburgr. will hold a mission at St. Stephen's (Epis copal) church, Oxford, beginning Tuesday night, Nov. 10, and contin uing through the following Sunday. All people of Oxford and the sur rounding country are cordially in vited to attend. Jas. F. Plummer, Rector. Haye you registered? You have only one more Saturday in which to attend to this matter. The negroes of the county are practically all re gistered. A great many white men have been putting tms important matter off. We warn you that fur ther delay is dangerous. Attend to this matter Saturday without fail. You cannot help save this county and State if your name is not on the registration books. Speaking at Wilton. Great interest is taken in the Wil ton section in the light for freedom of the masses from the great money combines and trusts of the country, and Saturday, even on short notice, about 150 voters turned out to hear the issues discussed. Mr. A. J. Feild, Democratic can didate for the Legislature, and Mr. Crawford Biggs, Secretary of the County Executive Committee, were present, and we learn both of them made fine speeches, showing that they had near their heart the free dom of the masses from the clutches of the gold barons of (fur country. Messrs. W. P. Lyon and Glaude Allen, of Wilton, were present, and called on for speeches. Ihey being strong free silver men responded to the calls and also made ringing speeches for free silver and the elec- tion of Bryan tor rresiaeur.

The colored man and brother as sembled in Oxford last Thursday night in full force. T ey were here from every portion oi the county, and the office seekers made them selves as agreeable as possible with the delegates. About midnight a caucus was held in . house in the lower portion of tov n, where no doubt a slate was made out. Next morning (Friday) about 11 o'clock another caucus was held m the court house with J. Walter Howell, of Fishiner Creek, in the chair. We be lieve the principal speaker was Bil lie Crews, who, m the natural course of events, delighted hiss hearers with his same old chestnut speech, includ ing his old tirade about putting the negroesback into slavery if the Dem ocrats should be successful at the polls. S. J H. Mays also spoke a piece. The convention proper about 12 o'clock assembled in the Opera House when the fun began. During the session of the convention several acted as chairman, but it seems that the floor managers, Messrs. J, M., Robert Lincoln and Wiley Sikes, did their work well. The nominations for the Legisla ture were quite spirited and full of interest, but after a hard fought con test Billy Crews and Hugh Tilley, both colored, received the nomina tions. The next on the program was the nominations for Sheriff and Treas urer, and the Populist candidates, Messrs. W. S. Cozart and Capt. A. S. Peace, were endorsed with a whoop. Only one County Commissioner was nominated and that was awarded to Col. C. M. Rogers. The great and only straddler, Jerome Tunstall, of Bullock, who is the Populist nomi nee for Coroner, was also endorsed. -The battle royal commenced on Register of Deeds. C. P. Hester, of Fishing Creek, and Dr. L. C. Taylor, of Oxford, were placed in nomina tion. Chas. Hester said if he was nominated and elected he would ap point a negro deputy, and Dr. Tay lor replied to that saying he would appoint a true Republican. From this warm words passed between the two men which resulted in Charles Hester assaulting Dr. Taylor after the convention. It is said by those who saw it that he did not give Dr. Taylor any warning, but we are glad to know no injury was done. Some claim that Charlev Hester was nom inated but that Wiley S'k-3s, "sven gale," hipnotized the ra-l t which gaye Dr. Taylor the nomination. As we were not there at the time cannot state it as a fact. Now the great question arises will the white people of Granville come together and unite and elect white men to the Legislature who are in favor of free silver and will vote for a free silver man for Uunited States Senator, or will they remain apart and see Wm. Crews and Hugh Tilly represent the county in the Legisla ture? Let us unite and defeat the Re publican ticket at the polls in No vember, ye white men of our beloved old county. Stem Academy Burned. On last Thursday night the citi zens of Stem had arranged to organ ize a Bryan and Kitchin Club, and had invited Mr. Alex J. F.eild, Dem ocratic candidate for the Legislature, to attend and address the club. The Academy building was lighted up for the occasion and the crowd had just begun to gather when a large lamp suspended from the ceiling fell without any one's touching it and without the slightest warning. A profusion of oil was spilt on the floor which at once ignited, and before it could be extinguished the burning oil penetrated the cracks in the floor and was under the building. In an incredibly short time the flames went up between the weatherboarding and plastering and before an axe or water Gould be bronght, it was breaking out the roof and was entirely beyond control. The building and the con tents were entirely consumed. There was nothing on the lower floor but a piano, which was so large it could not be removed in time to save it; but up stairs there were a number of school books. The building belonged to various citizens of Stem, having been erected by private subscription. The acci dent was very unfortunate and was much regretted by those interested. There was no insurance. The organization of the club was postponed and Mr. Feild returned to Oxford on the freight train which passed shortly after the fire. Action of the Treasury. Mr. C. J. Cooper, of the Bank of Granville, sends the following to the News and Observer: "In future for silver dollars a de posit of silver certificates or Treas ury notes of 1890 will be required." The above is the copy of a letter which I received this morning from the Treasurer of the United States m response to one from me ordering 500 silver dollars, for which I sent New York exchange. It has hereto fore been the custom to send the sils ver in exchange for Northern funds. It seems now that they refuse even to send silver for .gold certificates. Does not this mean that the people are not afraid of the 53 cent (socall ed) dollar, but are drawing them very freely? Doesn't it mean that more silver is needed in our business affairs? Yes, is the only sensible an swer to these questions. Yours truly, C. J. Cooper. Oxford, N. C, Oct. 12. THE INVINCIBLE BUCK. Capt. Kitchin Spoke in Oxford Tnes day Afternoon. About 300 people, including Popu lists, Democrats and Republicans, assembled in the court house Tues day afternoon to hear their old time friend, Capt. Buck Kitchin, discuss the gr3at issues that are now upper most in the minds of the people. He was introduced by Prof. W. H. P. Jenkins, of Brassfield, in his usual happy and enthusiastic vein, which brought cheers from the audience. After referring to his warm friend ship for the people of Granville he entered into the discussion of the vital problems that confront the peo ple of this country today. Capt. Kitchin said he did not ap prove of the course taken in the past by the Domocratic and Populist par ties. Under one banner and ' one commander, there would be victory, not only in North Carolina, but all over the land. There's so much at stake, we ought to forget past bick erings, etc., and concentrate all ef forts to bring all in North Carolina together that think alike, and march in a solemn column and carry every thing before us. When silver was stricken down, there must have been a motive for so doing. It was done for tho purpose of chaining humanity to the money kings and iords of this country. McKinley has the audacity to say it isn't the mints but the mills you want, yet in the very same speech he says this country makes too many goods. They tell you "if you will only have confidence in us, and our rascality, we'll lead you out of the wilderness and make the country blossom as a rose." There's only one thing that can bring prosperity and that is increase of the basic money of this country. The dollar today, they say, is an honest dollar. Let's see. It takes two days' work now to buy a dollar. An honest dollar, because it fleeces every laborer and toiling man of this land out of half of his wages. You lose half and they make it. They tell us it's dishonest to pay our debts in silver. I am here pre pared to pay $500 reward to show me a single statute or a single law that has in it that the obligations shall be paid in gold alone. When they say it, they are liars. McKinley and Sherman are liars and are de ceiving the people. You've got to increase the curren cy before you have prosperity. Pol iticians have no honor or soul. Of- 1 ;n t . ui' win tease a man gc to the yory mouth of hell, and some of them even jump in. Mark Hanna, Grover Cleveland, John Sherman and Wil liam McKinley have more impudence than the devil had when he carried your Lord up on the mountain top The man who listen to gold bug ar guments and then votes for any gold bug trom constable to President, hasn t got good common sense. Said he was such a strong free sil ver man that he believed that God must have placed silver and gold in the bowels of the earth at the ratio of 10 to 1. They talk about dumping silver here. Let them begin the dumping process. Liet them dump it at my house until the end of time, and I'll never revolt against it. The more money you have in circulation, the more prosperous is the country. The toiling masses are the wealth produ cers. I have read the Bible through and never yet 'found where the Lord com missioned a man to preach politics from the pulpit. Never yet have seen the place where it says, "go out into all the land and teach gold bug ism and Republicanism and be bap tized, and thou shalt be saved." He is called by Mark Hanna and the devil. God never called Tom Dixon. Mark Hanna called him. These kind of preachers are preaching the doc-! trine of destruction and damnation. They ought to be burned in effigy. Liet us put our shoulders together and see if we cannot break the in fernal tyrant's neck, and bury him so deep that even the hand of Jeho yah cannot find him. Don't be deceived. Don't deceive yourselves or any body else. No body is responsible but yourself. Vote for no man that you know your vote will be thrown away- Cast your vote for the men who are in favor of silver. If you want to vote for the biggest hearted man in this country, vote tor Wiliam Jennings Bryan. What's the use to elect Bryau and then shorten his wings? He can't make or repeal a law without Con gress is with him. Don't vote tor a gold bug under any circumstance. Don't vote for a dummy or decoy duck. If you want to vote for Tom Settle, do it. Do it like a man. The Democrats and the Populists want toe same thing. Let us get together and bring prosperity. Death of Mrs. J. W, Garrett. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. J. W. Garrett, of Franklin county, which oecurried on Satur day, Oct. 3. in the 09th of her age after a short illness. She was the mother of our young merchant, Mr. J. L. Garrett, to whom we extend our sympathy. Mrs. Garrett was a zealous member of the Methodist church and leaves behind a fond hushand and 11 children to mourn her departure to a brighter and bet ter world. The interment took place the fol lowing Monday at Antioch church, Vance county. Mrs. H. M. Lanier will be glad to get eight or ten music scho ars. Terms $3 per month. Oxford, N. C, Oct; 5th, 1896.

B Ballou after spending a few days at Littleton foi his health and being fully restored took a trip as far West as Chicago. He return ed Monday, and reports that every thing seems to be favorable for the cause of free silver and it is general ly believed that Altgeld and Bryan will carry Illinois in spite of Mark Hanna's boodle campaign in that State. Success of County Government Ad mitted by Its Opponents. "They say you must take care of county government. Fifteen years ago under their rule my county was so deep in debt that jurymen on leav ing the court room would go about and huckster their tickets off for one third their face value. Our county government had a reason for its ex istence. It was a success, and the Populists and Republicans admitted it when they made the provision for the appointment of two extra com missioners with veto power. They cry election frauds, but with all the machinery in our hands they beat us. They made a new law which has four times as many chances for fraud as the old one, which will make it cost $34,000 to cast your vote. There was never a Legislature since 18G8, against which there, were so many charges of fraud and bribery. Dem ocrats were in charge for sixteen years, and they have been in for two years; have they shown anything we did wrong? They cry fraud in cer tain counties, but when you go there it's always somewhere else. I saw the chairman of the committee which they sent to Edgecombe to investi gate frauds of Democrats. He said all the d n negroes down there got mad about fusion and voted the Democratic ticket, and that was why they cried fraud." From Cy Wat son's speech at Monroe. ' TIic Discovery Saved H is 1.1 re. Mr. G. Caillouette, druggist, Beavers ville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in my store I sent for a bot tie and be,jan its use and from the first dose began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep store or house without it." Get a free trial ' at J. G. Hall's drug store, ' 81.00 PER ANNUM. THE OFFER OF FUSION. The Populist Ex. Com. Refuse to Co operate with Democrats. On Tuesday, the l-tth, the Coun ty Executive Committee of the People's Party of Granville, met and after several hours deliberation gave the following answer to the Demo crats offer of co-operation : Nokth Carolina, ) GrANTILLK Col NTY. Sol W. Cooper, Chairman Democrat ic Executive Committee and others : Gentlemen : I am instructed by our Committee to say to yon that your proposition looking towards co-operation in the count' election has been indefinitely postponed. J. W. Uitowx, Secretary. This 13th day Oct., 1890. The Democratic Executive Com mittee then met and put on their ticket J. F. Cole for Sheriff and John A. Waller for Treasurer. They then adjourned until Tuesday, the 20th inst, when they will ar range the balance of the ticket. This is a very important matter and we are sorry to see that the Populist Executive Committee do not seem to realize the importance of their action. We cannot believe they voice the sentiment of great body of their party, at time when all friends of silver the this and good government are doing all they can to get together and save the State and nation from Republican rule and the gold standard. Jt doen seem strange that they should take such action as they haye. We feel certain if the proposition could have been submitted to the Populist party they would gladly have accepted it; and we believe on election day the voters in that party will show that they do not approve of the action of their Executive Committee. The Democrats of this county, re alizing fully the great danger that confronts the country, have done everything in their power to join hands with the Populists, and work for the common good; but the Pop ulist Executive Committee says no. We can never believe the Populist party approves this. Can it be that the People's party wish to allow two colored Republican , gold bugs to,njo to the Legislature and send a gold bug Republican to the U. S. Senate? Can they be party to electing men to office who are opposed to every thing their people have been fight ing for? Can it be that the Popu lists of Granville desire now to abandon all those principles that have given their party life and strength and hope? We can never believe it. Bargains all Along the Line.
