While John Young, a true and tried colored Democrat was doing the work, we asked him what he was doing and replied: "I am just killing the scent of Bill Royster in here as this was his headquarters when he occupied the throne in the court house before the election." Work tegan last week on the Methodist oiphanage to be erected in Raleigh clearing off the site. The committee proposes to push the work now as vigorously as possible. Plans for the building will soon be prepar ed, and it is hoped that not many months will elapse before the home is ready to begin, its great mission of caring for the needy. Quite a nice entertainment took place at the Opera House Friday evening last, and greatly enjoyed by all who attended. It was given by the Altar Guild of the Episcopal church, under the direction of Miss Katharine Hilliard, for the benefit of the church. The casts in the two plays were composed of some of our excellent home talent who did some clever acting. Prof. Baker informs the editor that he had nothing to do with ap- plying to Judge enaw ror a restrain ing order against the Democratic School Board, as it was the Board themselves, and hence we should have said last week in our comments the Board instead of Prof. Baker. But Professor how about calling on COlOrcll LCIICUDIO lUi lUllUS LU aid in carrying on the suits? The evidences are many which show conclusively that the sentiment about the impropriety of permitting woman to earn her own livelihood is being rapidly dispelled. The world has an increasingly large contingent of woman who are obliged to depend partly, or entirely, upon themselves for subsistence. Women are daily demonstrating their industry and proficiency, and we are gradually rising to a truer appreciation of their capabilities, and a larger rec ognition of their right to educate and employ their faculties as they please. A very unfortunate affair oc curred in Fishing Creek township Friday between two brother, Charley and Kit Hester. They are progres sive farmers and farm together, and reports have it that they got into a dispute about some fertilizer and came blows when Mr. Kit Hester drew his knife and stabbed his brother in the breast and back and cut him across the shoulder, inflict ing serious wounds. Indeed we are sorry to hear of the difficulty, and hope the wounds are not as serious as reported, and that our friend will soon recover. V.a - B. W. Spillman. BaDtist Sunday School Missionary of the State, and a zealous worker in that hmnrl field, conducted a regular Sun day School institute in the Baptist Church Saturday, ounday and Mon day and was largely attended. The nVinrch Snndav was crowded with people to hear the practical lectures of this grand worker who believes that the Sunday School is a part of the church. He took up the differ ent phases of the School work and each one of his plain, practical lec tures proved very interesting indeed, and must have made a deep impres sion upon our people. C, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1899. The Methodist Conference of this district meets in Louisburg to day and Rev. M. H. Tuttle, Dr. C. D. Fort, and Mr. Sidney Minor are in attendance. Are the County Commissioners offering a premium on making out tax lists? It looks so, and instead of cry ing shortness of funds the treasury must be flush. The North Carolina Bar Associ ation July 7th ended its annual meet ing at Morehead City, with a ban quet. It elected the following officers: President, Charles F.

The County Board of School Di rectors as appointed by the last Leg islature consisting of Messrs. James H. Webb, Graham B. Royster and Frank W. Hancock having qualified (by taking the oath of office before J. G. Hunt, Clerk of the Superior court of Granville county, met on Monday and organized according to School law as passed by the Legislature. They met in the court room as the defunct Rep-Pop Board assembled early and took possession of the office, and it is said allowed no one to enter without first giving their names. The non-resident negro mem ber of defunct board left his home in Franklinton to be on hand, and the white of his eyes shown out with ex pectant trouble ahead as to getting his pay. , On motion of James Webb the Board went into the election of township trustees in accordance with section 1G of the school law as fol lows: Fishing Creek: E.

Clement were placed in nomination, and on second ballot Mr. Hobgood was elected. He is a highly educated young man and we predict will make an excellent officer. In a Home in Glory. Miss Mary S. Grimsley, sister of Mrs. T. L. Booth, passed oyer the "beautiful river" on Wednesday last with consumption at her home in Snow Hill, surrounded by loved ones. Miss Grimsley visited her sister in Oxford last summer and met many of our people who soon found that she possessed many charming traits of character and lovely disposition She was 22 years of age, and a de voted member of the Episcopal church, a bright, gifted young lady and her end has cast a shadow of sadness over all who had the pleas of knowing her. She now occu pies a home in beautiful city of the New Jerusalem. Our people not only sympathize with Mrs. Booth, but those of the family at Snow Hill in the hour of great grief. Dr. and Mrs. T. L.

The organizers of the warehouse trust that we have heard so much about the past two weeks have come to Oxford, unfolded their nice plan for a trust of warehouses of the State to our warehousemen and gone on to another field. Their caucuses were of a secret character, and from what we can learn nothing definite was ar rived at. We predict that in a short time it will bloom out in great shape and the warehousemen will be rush ing to get in on the ground floor as they will have to go in or quit busi ness. Nearly all the leaf tobacco is now bought by some four firms and they are all in the trust, and with only about four buyers on each mar ket, they can by the crack of their finger kill the business of a ware houseman in one week by refusing to buy tobacco on his warehouse floor, and hence we say our ware housemen will be forced sooner or later into the warehouse combina tion. We take it that the trust is a dead certainty, and we are looking into the future, say next year, after the trust gets into working order, it will begin to look around and say, "oh, we haye too many markets, and they must be reduced!" What then? Why then the trust will go to work and divide up the territory into six or eight markets and will close up the others, forcing the farmers to ship or haul their tobacco any distance they please to sell it as they have them where the hair is short and they are forced to obey orders. The question arises which markets will be closed up? If Oxford should be one of them, and as we have nothing but a leaf market to depend on, then real estate in Oxford would not be worth 10 cents on the dollar and the bank and other monied concerns would be forced to seek a new field of operation. We throw out the danger signal, Oxford men, and warn you that the time is near at hand when you will haye to fight hard for the glorious privilege of being allowed to have a leaf market in Oxford as this is no longer a free country. As to the warehouseman who bucks against the trust and pro claims that he will still stand by the trust-afflicted farmer, he will be snowed under at one stroke by the four or five buyers of the great com - bine simply refusing to buy tobacco on his floor. The farmers will naturally go to the warehouses where they can get the highest market prices, and the trusts are paying the highest prices as they regulate the prices them selves, and buy the bulk of the crop. We rise to ask where is the far- mers at ? Why like the warehouse men in the clutches of the trusts. We learn from the Durham Sun of Tuesday that the warehouse trust agents rounded up at Durham and secured options on the Farmers and Center warehouses in that city, at $6,000 each. As Parrish's and the Banner belonged to Col. J. S. Carr, who was out of the city, they did not have a chance at them, but the would be purchasers were giyen figures at which they possibly could be bought for, and also the rental price. The trust do more while the farmers mourn. The Two Bills. It was a rare curiosity these days to see Tuesday the two noted black Bills, Bill Royster and Bill Ciews, walking arm and arm along the street chatting glibly no doubt about when they were kings of Court House, and dictating how -the public schools should be run. They looked rather lonesome without Key. J. A. Fuller, now a non-resident of the county, and their white allies for continued negro domination of ths public schools of the county. Won der if they met Monday with the de funct school board, who are trying to continue to run the schools in de fiance of the law, and again dictated the appointment of school commit teemen of the county and the re-election of Rep-Pop Prof. A. Baker by defunct School Board in the face of a big dose ipecac administered by an indignant peoplejn November 1 Electric Storm. During the electric storm last Thursday night lightning struck a chimney of Mr. Robt. W. Lassiter's residence setting fire to some paper in the fireplace; struck two trees in Mr. Jesse Pitchford's grove and then played on the telephone wire burst ing the phone at the home of Jailor Turner and balls of fire rolled around his feet on the floor, stunning him and several members of his family. Several other homes in Oxford felt the effects of the lightning on ac count of phones, and were shocked. It was rather a scarey time with the lightning playing on wires, phones popping while one set dazed and blinded by the vivid lightning. We do not haye the least hankering to experience it again.
