Hani work is the surest factor in life's success. Oxford is rather quiet now and our people are busy lighting flies and trying to keep cool. Miss Ruth Ferrebee and Mrs. Juhu Gooch, who have bt.en quite sick some days, are improving. And now the festive plumb and green apples, alias the "doctors friend," is doing its noVJle work. Our warmest thanks go out to Master Frank Fort for the first can taloupe we have seen this season. Brother Frank Maddry, of the Durham Morning Herald, has been elected Coroner of Durham county. A world wise woman is all very well in the abstract, but the average man does not want her for his wife. Dr. H. C. Herndon has improved the looks of one portion of Main St., by tearing down one of his old build ings. Quite a number of our men have adopted the style of the Statesmen of the present day keeping clean shayen. The filthy back lots in Oxford this hot weather are the great friends of the doctors, but awful tough on the people. Too much iced tea is as bad as an intoxicating beverage, making the habitual drinker nervous to the last degree. James H. " Young, colored, says he is certain to get the Raleigh post office next March, when Charles M. Busbee's term expires. The capacity to bear disappoint ment without a murmur is a charac teristic that has to be cultivated by long trial and tribulation. The Sunday Schools will have a union pic nic at Minor's Mill to day (Thursday,) and we trust the lit tle ones will have a joyous time. The house that is kept compactly closed during the day is the one that will be the coolest at all times. Open the windows after the sun sets, but not while the glare is on. Ex-Senator Ransorn is very suc cessful this year in his farm work. On his great farm on the Roanoke he has now 2,500 acres in cotton and 175 plows are at work there. And now the young woman who looks well with her hair brushed straight back from her forehead is the one who most thoroughly de lights in the prospect of real sum mer weather. It seems that our people who have gone into raising cotton will not have any trouble about having it ginned. Mr. Wyatt E. Cannady will we learn put in new gins at his home and at Fairport. Friday morning, while shaving, Secretary of State Cy Thompson, made an attempt to see if his razor was sharp and cut a vein near the wrist. He lost a good deal of blood, and a doctor had to take five stitches in the wound. There has been great complaint in Oak Hill Township about the pre ponderenee of corn bugs, but to car the climax a few days ago a regular Jumbo Bug from Virginia was im ported and he landed on the planta tion of an excellent widow. In these days of McKinley Pros perity if time were money many of us would not be beholding to the trusts. But unfortunately they are in command of the situation and force the people to work all the time and furnish them little money. Col. W. A. Bobbitt, Capt. W. T. Clement, Dr. J. G. Hunt, Messrs. Cam Easton, Wm. Smith, A. A. Chapman, Frank Gregory, Harry Williams, Eugene Crews, David Chapman, and Matt Loonan are en joying a few days fishing at Speed's mill pond in Vance county. The coming session of the Uni versity Summer School continuing five weeks from June 22nd, promises to bo largely attended. Professors Jackman, McMurraj, Milne, Clax ton, Moses, and Misses Bryant and Bemis and others will be present and begin their lectures the first day. Reduced rates on all Railroads. Oak Ridge Institute will open its 4Gth year August 18th. The School has been managed by Prof. Holt twenty-two years, and in the language of Dr. Winston, recently president of the University, "has had a very large share in the revi val of the educational spirit of the state." It sends out the prettiest catalogue in the state Write for one. OXFORD, Read sale of land under mort gage elsewhere in this issue. How truly amiable we can all be when everything goes one way. . We are pleased to learn that Mrs. A. S. Hall, who has been sick sever al days, is convalescent. Mi. R. E. Booth and his real bright son, Sammy, of Stem, con tinue to supply our people with nice young chickens. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Winston, who has been quite sick several days, we are glad to learn is improving. Oar v armest syn pa hies go out to Mr. and Mrs. Presley Row land, of Carlton, who mourn the death of a darling baby boy which occurred Friday a week ago. A son has been born unto Rev. and Mrs. James F. Plummer, and may the little fellow be reared and become one of the bright men that will adorn the State some future day. We direct your attention to the advertisement of Coleman's Tobacco Oil Liniment in another column. It is highly recommended, and is sold by Druggists and Merchants. Try it. Mr. Heniy Haley, one of the old landmarks of Mt. Energy section was gathered to his eternal home on Monday. He will be greatly missed by his family, neighbors and friends. Peace to his ashes. -Mr. E. B. C. Hambly has decid ed to discontinue his work at Cheat ham's Mine near Oxford, and will re moye all of his machinery to the Venerable Mine near Adoniram. We are glad that this enterprising capi talist will still continue his efforts to develop the resources of the county. Messrs. Eugene C. Caldwell and A. S. Caldwell, Jr., are spending their college ' yacation with their parents. Mr. Eugene C. Caldwell received a Scholarship for the next year, for the highest standing in his class, he also received the Junior Essayest Medal and was Junior ora tor of the society at the commences ment exercises of Hampden Sidney College, Va., ast lweek. We are clearly of the opinion that the failure -of the Town Com missioners Monday night to appoint a Sanitary Officer for Oxford during the hot " weather was detrimen tal to the health of our citizens. We are sorry to say so, but Oxford needs a thorough cleansing and kept so during the heated term, as the lives of our people are at stake. Is it not the duty of the Commissioners to protect them? Some one it seems who had been using Parish Green to kill bugs on irish potato vines had some left and threw It out in the street a few days ago on some grass, and Mrs. R. W. Lassiter, Sr's fiae cow being grazed by a colored boy happened to eat the grass and in a few hours died from it. Those who use this deadly poison should certainly be more par ¬ ticular, as they do not know what may be killed by it. The State Medical Association met at Morehead City last week, and was largely attended. It was a fine looking body'of men and attended strictly to business. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. Francis Duffy, New Bern; vice presi dents, Drs. C. E. Register, Charlotte: J. B. H. Knight, Williamston; A. T. Cotton, Morrisville; and F. H. Rus sell, of Wilmington; secretary, Dr. R. D. Jewett, Wilmington; treasurer, Dr. M. P. Pearry, Manson. Char lotte was selected as the place of the next meeting. The Criminal Pardoner. Governor Russell believes that if the State Executive were givenpower to convene a court immediately upon the c ipture of a man charged with such crime as usually provokes lynching, that trial and execu tion might be speedy and the danger of lynching would be greatly lessen ed. That would cut no figure with such a negro lover as he is. As soon as the trial was over and a Republi can Judge or Solicitor or negro po litical boss recommended their par don we belieye he would take great pleasure in turning him loose. Within the history of the State Gov. Russell undoubtedly cares less about protecting the homes and firesides of people than any man that ever oc cupied the Executiye Chair if there is a black brother in the woodpile.

Largely Attended ConventionRoy ally Entertained, &c. The editors went to Morehead, the Saratoga of North Carolina, to at tend their 25th Annual Convention. It was a grand congregation of the quill drivers of the State. A talent ed body of the moulders of public opinion in the State. Yes, it is the business of the editors to instruct the public mind. We met there the State Medical Association, a remarkably handsome body of men, whose. busi ness it is to improye the human body, while it is that of the editors to enlighten the human mind. Both callings are honorable and useful and both require brains and assidu ity to secure success. We like the doctors and those ire saw at Morehead were good looking and intelligent. Though others may not agree with us we will say that the doctors were nearly as intelli gent and as handsome looking as the editors. They all of both profes sions seemed charmed with More head how could it be otherwise with the brighj, witty and resourceful Dr. Blacknall as presiding genius of cer emonies in lodging, feeding and en tertaining with his racy and original wit and humor in that inimitable style in which he is without an equal. His gifts in the hotel line Were in born and have been cultivated on the highest model in a manner both pleasant and original. We editors who had been wrestling with hard times, the gold standard, a dimin ished pocket book and an equally diminished larder, fattened like Red Jersey pigs during our sojourn as the guest of our venerable friend, Dr. Blacknall. We think although he is himself a doctor he seemed to get on more smoothly with us than he did with doctors. It was very smooth for him to call the editors ''Colonel" but not quite so smooth for him to avoid the use of the prefix to the doctors. So sometimes he would ad dress some of the medical fraternity "Colonel Doctor" and sometimes he would call some of the editors "Doc tor Colonel." We haye been a member of the Press Convention'since the early 70's, with the exception of a few years, and it has never been our good for tune to attend a more harmonious, progressive and business like meet ing. The Association continues to grow from year to year. Many new and valuable members were added to the organization. Among them tho fine looking, genial and highly cultured Col. W. H. Gregory, of the Orphans' Friend. He impressed the convention so favorably that his val uable services were ayailed of by his appointment on important committee duty. Our pen is balked in our attempt at the effort to portray the attrac tions of Morehead which are unique and manifold and just literally inde scribable. Even the most brilliant editors whose articles we haye read have failed to give an adequate pic ture of this famous North Carolina resort. What added immensely to the enjoyment of our surroundings was the congregation of such a bright array of North Carolina's men and women, by which term we mean the doctors and editors and a number of their wiyes and daughters who graced and illuminated eyery social circle by bright sallies of wit and agreeable social intercourse. We had the pleasure of having our bet ter half as the sponsor of our good conduct with us, and Messrs. Robin son, of the Durham Sun, Daniels, of the News and Observer, Dowd, of the Charlotte News, Stone, of the Greensboro Fireman, Noel of the Roxboro Courier, Whichard, of the Greenville Reflector, Herbert, of the Kinston Free Press, Hackney, of the Asheville News, and a few others were similarly fortunate. While fishing we hung a shark about three feet long on our hook. Our brother editors, Messrs. Stone and Robinson, werejin the boat with us. They were both greatly agitated and startled and we would ourselves have probably been equally so, but we have been encountering the land sharks of Granville of the reform order (we mean the demagogue lead ers) aud we were perfectly compote I. Seeing that we were calm and uncon cerned onr friends Robinson and Stone soon came to our assistance, and the shark struggling foolishly to get out of our hands, just as the aforesaid demagogue political sharks and in .so doing twisted the lines around each other in such a way as to make the conquest easy. One pleasant incident in connec tion with our return trip from the Conyention was the truly pleasant hospitality shown to the editor of this paper and his wife by that prom nent and successful young law yer of Goldsboro, Col. A. C. Davis. By in vitation we dined with him and wife and it was a pleasure to enjoy his generous hospitality gotten up in the most approved style of the culinary art. His quartet of bright children, 2 boys and 2 girls, must be a source of much pride and happiness to his household. As to the Convention it was pre sided over with ease and grace by n IT T" TTT 1 1 n our mend J . r. w mtaiver, ot the Winston Sentinel, First Vice- President, in the absence of Presi dent R. R. Clark, of the Statesville Landmark, who was detained at home on account of a sick child. The address of welcome by Editor Aber- nethy, Beaufort Herald, was warm and eloquent. Oar dear friend Deal, editor of the "State of Wilkes Chronicle," responded on the part of the Association and his speech reached from the Atlantic to Mur phy, as he had had it corked up for six years, and was splendidly deliv ered, eliciting rounds of applause. The Presidents address was practical and full of good suggestions to the members of the Association. Sey- eral able, and practicable papers were read which were of interest to the Association. Brother J. W. Bailey's tribute to the late W. W. McDiarmid was beautiful in thought and diction. The Association will meet next year at Waynesville, "Land of the Skies." The following officers were elected: J. B. Whitaker, President; John T. Britt, First Vice-President; W. A. Curtis,, Second Vice Presi dent; W. S. Herbert, Third Vice President. The affable J. B. Sher rell was elected Secretary-Treasurer for the tenth time. He was also elected delegate to National Press Association which meets at Denver with John T. Britt as alternate. W. C. Dowd Orator; Josephus Daniels, poet; R. A. Deal, historian; J. A. Thomas, Thad Manning, Henry A. London, J. W. Bailey and James A. Robinson, executive committee. Several important resolutions were passed which we will publish next week. Doctor Sticks His Gaff's in the Sides of the Newspapers. Dr. Charles Laughing house, of Greenville, in an address before the Medical Convention at Morehead City last week attacked the newspapers of the State for admit ting patent medicine advertisements in their columns. He must be one of those men who believes it is "un professional" to put their profession al cards in the newspapers. The gallant doctor must have been hard up for a subject to attack the news papers, or the patent medicine man must be cutting him out of some fees which causes him to thus squeal. It all depends on whose ox is gored and the doctor must remember that the newsyaper columns are open for business and the publishers accept all legitimate business. Wonder if he were to become "unprofessional" and offer to put his card in the news papers of his town and the editors were to refuse, saying that their col umns were not open to advertise doctors, on the ground that some of the M. D.'s were quacks and they did not want to impose on the peo ple, what this gallant gentleman on the lower waters of the Tar would say to that? How does this Strike our Populists Friends ? There are only 25,000 men em ployed in the sugar refining business, and yet the Senate gives the Trust a bounty of $53,241,000 per year. It is the payment of a campaign obliga tion that will destroy the party and the men responsible for it. Wonder how our Populists friends who joined hands with the Republicans to help elect demagogues and negroes to office-like to be thus fleeced by trusts in whose interests McKinley was elected. Come out from among such plunderers of the people and help the Democrats undo what you aided in doing. We say to our Populists friends that it would be the manly thing to do, and set to work to re deem North Carolina rom Russell ism and negroism. Let your dema gogue, rotten, spoil-hunting leaders go to the negro party where they be long. Will you do it is the question and thus protect your homes and th ) dear . ones that cluster lovingly around your firesides ? GOINQ AND COniNCi RECORD.

Town This body Commissioners. met Monday night in regular session with his Honor Mayor J. C. Biggs presiding, with Clerk E. T. Crews and Commissioners S. W. Cooper, W. D. Currin, J. Y. Paris, W. L. Mitchell, Dr. S. H. Can nady and J. F. Edwards present. The first question that came up was that of continuing to allow bi cycles to be rode on any of the streets of the town, and was fully discussed. The matter was postponed on motion of Commissioner Edwards until next meeting. But the fine was placed at $2 instead of $1, so look out boys. We take it, if it was not for a few reckless riders there would be no complaint lodged against the cyclists of the town, and we hope the Bicycle Ordinance will in fntuie be strictly enforced, and it is to the interest of the Cycle Club to see that it is done. The following parties were granted icense to retail liquor for six months; 3. A. Roberts, R. Broughton, J. T . Wiley, R.L. Pool, I. H. Steagall. The application of A. D.
