Our happiness rests with our selves. Love of money is the root of all evil and of much good. The first and the last sentences are always the hardest to write. Only small quantities of tobacco are being sold on our market now. It is an undisputable fact that our farmers are not behind on water now. Between two evils some folks have no choice; they embrace them both. Any. one saving up for a rainy day must have quite a bank account by this time. The latest in that line is said to be a Pie Trust. This comes close to taking the cake. Rev. A. S. Caldwell occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church at Henderson on Sunday last. Have you tried Stedman's 5 cents blood and hyer pills, if not do so as they are number one? From present indications, if that snow-storm predicted for the middle of the month does come it will get a warm reception. The Francis Hilliard School has secured the services of a competent teacher of Stenography and Type Writing for the next scholastic year. The Big Four String Band, col ored, of Columbia, S. C, was in our town two days the past week and treated our people to some fine music. Twice in the year the thermom eter becomes a subject of interest during zero and torrid weather. It has risen to prominence during the last few days. While the white-gowned girl graduates in their essays possibly settle no public questions they pre sent some interesting yiews well worth looking at. Hon. Wm. J. Bryan said in a recent speech: "The man who fights the trust of commerce is quite as brave as a man who swims a river or climbs a San Juan Hill." Everybody is roasting these days A few do not look it and as a rule these few are of the feminine gender and arrayed in white, the most de ceptive, most alluring, most alto gether captivating garb ot the sum mer season. Inspector GeHeral Hobgood, of the State Guard, is back from More head City, where he inspected the site for the encampment. It is be tween the railroad and the water of the sound, and there are 35 acres, in eluding the drill ground. Pattie Holloway, a colored wo man about 40 years old, dropped dead Saturday night about 8 o'clock near Mr. C. A. Carrol rs store on the outedge of town, wnile on her way home, near the McAdden place, about half mile from town. Mr. John P. Stedman, chairman of the Cemetery committee, deserves the unbounded thanks of those who have loyed ones buried in the old and new cemeteries, as he has had them nicely cleaned up. He is a wide awake citizen and the right man in the right place. Thirteen-inch rifled guns were fired all along the lines at Trinity this week, beginning with President Kilgo, followed by the two bishops, Dr. White and the munificent gift of Mr. Ben Duke. Big brains and big heartedness had the right-of-way, the influence of which will go sound ing dowa the ages. Raleigh Post. Don't forget to get ready for and attend the celebration at the Orphan Asylum on Saturday the 24th of June. General Cox will deliyer the address and you will hear something good. The Grand Lodge will hold a special communication and all Masons interested in the success of the Orphan Asylum should be pre sent. The Beecher family is one whose branches are very many and whose lines of work are as varied as the in dividuals. It is a grandniece of Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson, who is at present very much to the fore in relation to the economic emancipation of wo men. In the July number of The Cosmopolitan Mrs. Stetson will wage a pen warfare with Prof. Harry Thurston Peck over an article in the June number of The Cosmopolitan, "The Woman of To-day and To morrow." Mrs. Stetson has some thing in the June number a four line poem on "Queer People." The illustrations by Oliver Herford are themselves queer. Those of our young people who attended the annual german of the Tar Heel Cotilhan Club at Hender son Thursday night, and report a most delightful time, were Misses Katie Cannady, Charlotte Britt, Annie Cannady, Mary Ferebee, Nel lie Currin, Fannie Landis and Fan nie Gregory, along with visitors to Oxford, Misses Freida Hill, of Hali fax, Katie Connor, of Wilson; Carrie Lawrence and Sallie Lawrence, of Charlotte; Dr. I.

It will be rough on the schooner gulper as the foam will come higher and the trust richer. Mr. Cahoe, the pleasant and handsome representative of the wide awake Raleigh Post, has been in our town a few days and has been suc cessful in getting subscribers for this newsy paper. We are always so mad when we are trying to carry a pail of water on each shoulder to have one fall off, yet it is only what we should natur ally expect. Many people are trying it these days. Joe Daniel says: I regret that I did not arrive in time to hear the alumni address, delivered by Dr. E. T. White of Oxford. I hear it com plimented on all sides. One gentle man a good judge says that it was one of the finest alumni addresses ever deliyered at Trinity. The county commissioners are in session as we go to press Wednesday. Their time is taken up in purging the jury list of all names of persons who have not paid their taxes for last year, etc. Only men who haye paid their taxes can now serve on a jury. An observance of this law will al ways get the best men to serve as jurors. Our young people enjoyed a de lightful German at the Armory Hall Tuesday night given in honor of visiting young ladies.

A slight change in the Oxford & Clarksville Railroad schedule took place Sunday. The passenger train from Durham arrives 11:55. the Hen derson train leaves at 12 m. The freight train from Keysville every other afternoon has reversed its run and arrives in Oxford at the same hour Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days. It strikes us if the agent of the Southern had the interest of the traveling public at heart in his ter ritory he would notify them of the change in schedules. It would cer tainly be done if there was a compet ing line, and the discrimination against Oxford by the Southern would cease, and the officials would be urbanity itself. A terrfiic storm that was almost a tornado swept Statesyille and that entire section on the afternoon of June 10. The force of the wind was terrific and swept almost everything in its path. Ashe Bros, tobacco factory and the large Farmers' Warehouse were blown down, the Associate Reformed Presbyerian and Baptist churches were unroofed and badly damaged by water and debris. Numerous barns and outhouses were blown down, and fences, telegraph poles and trees were prostrated. Loss $20,000. At Ruffin the ground was covered with hail and telegraph poles were snapped off and blown across the Southern Railway tracks, delaying trains. Numerous small house and trees were blown down. Ramon Beats Tliem all Henry Bissell, Hatton, Arkansas, says: I cannot find words to explain the worth of Ramon's Liver Pills and Ramon's Re lief also. 1 suffered with bilious colic for years, and the doctors failed to do me any good. 1 cured it with Ramon's Re lief and Ramon's Liver Pills. 1 have sold drugs and medicines for 27 years, and have handled all kinds of patent medi cines. Ramon's beats them all. I have sold and used Ramon's for ten years with always the greatest satisfaction. Hun dreds of costomers will testify that Ra mon's Liver Pills are the best family medicine they ever used. I wish every family had a trial dose in their house to day. For sale by J . P. Steadman.

His Able Alumni Address at Trinity College Tuesday. v The alumni address of Dr. E. T. White, of Oxford, in the Craven Hall Tuesday afternoon was well prepar ed and has been the subject of much favorable comment today. Dr. White proved himself to be a very eloquent speaker, and as he spoke of his be loved alma mater he became enthu siastic and his eloquence waxed warm, says the Durham Sun: i Dr. White's subject was "Leading Factors in the Lives of Business Men and Men of Affair." He spoke in part as follows: "Tms is a proud day in the history of this institution our alma mater. Those of us who finished her curri culum and left her walls some 20 odd years ago can scarcely recognize her as she advances in age and grows in beauty. We loved her back yonder when clad in the worn garments of poverty. We loved her as she strug gled alone through those years of adverse circumstances. We love her today as she stands a crowning beauty, an ornament to our church and State. This memorial hall, these grounds, these buildings, are the re wards of toils aud tribulations. Born and reared amid trials. I rejoice to see her shed the clothes of bare ne cessity and don the trappings aDd embroidery in keeping with the ad vancement of this progressive age. All honor to our men of affairs who put their shoulders to the wheel and made this evolution possible. I talk to those whose duties at this institu tion are about rendered up and are now entering the threshold of active citizenship. I talk to those who have already taken a wide compass of in tellectual survey and in shaping the aims and ambitions of li'fe chose dif ferent objects of pursuit. Coming fresh from the fields of business, I cannot hope, nor shall 1 attempt to entertain you with an address illu minated with genius, or enriched with learning, bat shall be content to speak to you about some of the leading factors in the lives of busi ness men and men of affairs." Dr. White then began a discussion of his subject and spoke in substance an follows: "As we turn from art to nature we find everything stamped with a quality peculiar to itself. There are no two trees alike. Every man has a character peculiar to himself, which marks and discriminates him from others of the human family and en dows him with a manner and tem perament peculiar to humanity, and when the particular quality is worthy and commendable it is his business to cultivate and preserve it. In this respect pattern after no man, preserve your own individu ality. It is said that no man ever yet became great by imitation. In dividuality is the stamp of nature, and leaves its impress when science, art and skill fail. We need men with a design and plan of their own upon which can be centralized all the power of their inbred nature. You cannot make a Vance a Merrimon, or a Merrimon a Vance. Neither can you make Gladstone a Bismarck, or Bismarck a Gladstone. Not Vance a sham, not Gladstone an imitation. "In pleading to preserve the indi viduality of man, I would not un deivalue the work of any literary institution. I would not detract from the strides of higher education; for the deeper and more fertile the land, the more quickly and surely it responds to cultivation. Absorb all the information we can from men and books, and after we have gath ered up the sheaves from the gran aries of the past, we own the mate rial from which to build. "It is well for us to gather all sorts of information. Gather ideas from men living and dead. Draw from the histories of individuals and na tions. The God of nations plants the germ education and culture assist the growth. "The temperaments and disposi tions of men vary as the shade and coloring of vegetation. We have the different temperaments. An idea or thought is looked at differently through these glasses. Thoughts and ideas grow and assume these temper aments, and to grow into a strange man all this education must be used to forward, strengthen and develop this inborn nature and not convert him into something he cannot be. We see in the self-made man the plantings of nature bursting, bud ding, growing. This piinciple im pelled our beloved Craven to brook difficulties and burn the midnight lightwood and torch, that his name might be transmitted a memorial to coming generations. "When we slip out upon the aiea of life and come face to face with its problems we find two grand divis ionsnecessities and superfluites. "The necessities of life are strewn around within easy reach of all, and whatever is actually necessary is divinely arranged so that it can be obtained. In this life muscle has full sway. But . as we step across the line from necessities to superflu ities, we come in contact with what the combination lacks, which can be assured only with skill. Education and brains now come to the front and have full recognition. Along the line of necessities and superflu ities, we find its battlo ground where this age of commerce and competi tion are struggling. "There was perhaps never a time in the history of the world when civilized mankind had more of the comforts accessible to the masses so cheaply as now. What are the sup erfluities of one age become the nec essities of another. We benefit by the concrete example of the experi ence of past centuries. The marvel lous growth and development of our country brings to us enlarged res ponsibilities. The pioneers of our country brought muscle in the shape of slaves at the price of five and ten dollars par pound for life. Now some of our great institutions and leading insurance societies pay one thousand dollars an ounce on brain for one year, an these bids are forced and most generally captured by educated men of affairs. Inside of twelve mouths we change the map of the whole world and plant our flag on the international chess board. A Mauser rifle firedin Island of Samoa is reflected in the fluctuations of ex changes of New York, Berlin, lion don, St. Petersburg and Paris. "The future is pregnant with de velopments and suprises. We must not fold our arms and muse in the glories of the past. We reverence the paths our fathers trod. Men of affairs, with iron nerve and nature's endowment, convert Durham from a wayside station some twenty-five years ago to the thrifty, populous city of today, thereby enriching themselves and giving employment to thousands. In the framework, Honesty, Uprightness in the church is needed. "We can manage our own affairs. There are always men forthcoming to meet every emergency." The address was one of the most scholarly and able alumni addresses ever delivered at Trinity College. It was well prepared and was based on a high plane. It is worthy of being read all over the State. Another Plan to Improve the Public Roads and Have them Worked. To insure the faithful and effi cient working of public roads under the old system as it has proved a failure under the guardianship of the magistrates, owning to their in ability to enforce the law, we sug gest the following plan: To insure the working of public roads under the 4 days work system as laid down in the present law let the Board of County Commissioners levy a tax of 5 cents on $100 worth of property and say 15 cents on the poll, which would raise about $2,500. This amount would be sufficient to enable the County Commissioners to employ a county superinten dent of roads, and to pay the super visors in each township for duties performed, and to supply each town ship with necessary tools, employ ment of expert blaster, etc. This plan would certainly insure the car rying out of the 4 days work each year by all persons liable to road duty, and would relieve the magis trates from all responsibility of the roads. Under this plan it would be the duty of the Superintendent of roads to go from township to township to look after the working of the roads, and in ease a supervisor was not do ing his duty to have power to re move him and employ another. We hope some such plan will be adopted as it seems impossible for the magistrates to enforce the law. Hard to Beat on Walking. It is a litttle late it is true to talk about the recent walking match in Oxford, but we could not get it in our last issue, owing to the school com mencements which always have pre cedence. The walking fever struck Oxford broadsided and that staunch citizen, Mr. Zack Lyon, said he'd pay $5 a piece to 12 men that walked 5 miles in one hour in order to test the walking capacity of some of the Ox onians. Fourteen persons entered, and the contest took place at Horner Park with a large crowd of specta tors present. Twelve scooped in $00 from Mr. Lyon, who paid $5 to each man on the spot. Some of the walkers made it in 49 minutes. This is proof that there is walking ahead of any one who wants to tackle the average Ox ford pedestrian as they are use to pulling over muddy side walks when it rains. The walking fever has not yet sub sided, as Mr. T. Lanier remarked a few days ago that he believed he could walk 5 miles in 35 minutes, whereupon Mr. Wm. Smith said if he did he would pay him $5, and did not he (Lanier) was to pay to Smith a V. Lanier failed and paid the money. We take it that the walking feyer has subsided now and something else will soon be on the tapis to stir up the natives. Free Pills. Send your address to H. E.

The following from the able aud wide-awake Kinston Free Press is worth repeating, and we cannot see why Oxford merchants cannot stand by and sustain their town paper like the business men of Kinston, and will have to do so if they expect to have the continued publication of Public Ledger in their midst to continue the work of pushing forward the town, as we cannot live on wind and at the same time come in competi tion with the State appropriations, charity and free labor: "The tobacco market has done much for Kinston. The improve ment here dates back to the co-operation of the Kinston people in build ing the Orion Knitting Mills, about eight years ago. Since then, be cause of a better community unity, our progress has been steady and continuous. Our town is improving now as fast as ever before in its his tory. This condition is due to many causes to the Orion mills, lumber mills, cotton mills, tobacco market, various other industries live mer chants, who advertise and help ad vertise the town, etc." Marrag e of Granville man in Durham.
