Sunday was a beautiful bright spring day and our people took ad vantage of it and large congrega tions greeted the pastors of the dif ferent churches. We were also pleas ed to see out, after several weeks staying in on account of the n.easles, the orphans looking bright and clean, wending their way to and from church. At the Methodist church Rev. A, McCullen, the ablest preacher that has filled this pulpit for many years, deliverd in the morning decidedly the best discourse on Missions we haye ever heard fall from the lips of any minister on this great subject. It was interesting from beginning to end, and deeply impressed the large congregation. The colored Graded School so efficiently presided over by Rev. Walter A. Pattillo, had its closing exercises Monday and Tuesday nights and enjoyed large audiances both nights. Both programs were of an entertaining character, and the boys and girl3 acquitted them selves in an exceedingly creditable manner. Tuesday night the graduat ing class composed of R. G.

Burgwyn Speak, and En tnusiasm run high John T. Britt Endorsed by a Rising vote for Com missioner of Labor-General B. S. K oyster Elected Chairman of the Executive Committee. xiip, nip, nurran ior wnite reign TT Z l 1 l i g . in .North Carolina and down with Butler-Negro demagogueism ! uxrora was the great head center of the genuine white men of the once negro ruled county of Granville on Tuesday, and a determination to rule this county and State indelibly im pressed on their races. The great backbone of the country continued to roll in until our streets were full of people. Interpersed among the vast crowd were many of our Podu lists friends who believe in the white men ruling the county and State. while there were a few Ren-Poos standing around, whispering gently and caressingly into the ears of what they term the poor white men telling i 1 iL-l Al . . mem mai iney were in tne same boat with the ignorant negro, and if they wanted to continue to be free they must vote against the amend ment. They next naturally turned their Jattention to the now beloved colored brother no doubt saying: "I am with you in your fight to rule the white people ot Granville and the State. We stand side by side on that platform, but you must stand aside, not demanding any office, pull us into office by your solid vote, and let US soak down into our Dockets the spoils of the swill tub. while you hang on the outside, vote early and often it possible, and hollow your- selyes hoarse as we are just the boys to lead you out of the light of wick ed white rule into that of glittering black negro domination, all because we want to scoop in the entrancing seats at the tempting swill tub." Of course the latter class referred to are Butler-Pritchard swill tub Pop Reps, who are out for revenue only, care but little tor the taxpayer and the poor dear white man so they make a home run into cthce. But the true white men will be certain to catch them out on the fly the first Thurs day in August. There is one thing to dead moral certainty you will have to show your hand at this election iwhich side you are on negro rule or white supre macy, as you cannot dodge the great issue. weep ana determined interest was Tv ii i. manifested on &iP sides, and at 12 o'clock when the Court House bell rang out ine large court room was J A 1 . full in a few minutes with a host of white men. Democrats and Populists with a number of Repub licans. which made up as a whole one of the most intelligent conven tions eyer held in this or any other county. Mr. Crawford Cooper, the bold and fearless Chairman of the Executive Committee and under whose guid ance the county was redeemed from black rule, called the great body to order. In doing so sprung a happy sur prise on his host of admirers by treating them to a high grade speech, bold.aggressiye.pointed and earnest He was listened to with pleasure and enthusiastically cheered. He dealt some heavy blows to the opponents of Anglo-Saxon rule, and closed by saying they intended and would rule this county and State. He then called the gifted General is. o. isoyster to tne cnair, and re quested John T. Britt to act as Sec retary, and on motion the tempora ry organization was made perma nent. Messrs. A. C. Parham and R. E. Booth as a committee escorted General Royster to the chair amid applause. On ascending the judge's stand he made quite a happy speech, full of pure and undefiled Democra cy, the great head and corner stone of Anglo-Saxon rule in our beloved commonwealth. During the delivery of his captiyating speech met with repeated applause from the vast au dience. When he mentioned the name of the gallant Aycock it was enthusiastically cheered. General Royster is numbered among the able and forcible speakers in the State today and we feel proud of him. At the conclusion of his speech each precinct got together, and after a short consultation the following delegates and alternates to the State Conyention were elected: North Oxford Thos. W. Winston, with A. A Hicks, H. M. Shaw and John T. Britt as alternates. South Oxford C J. Cooper; A. W. Graham, alternate. Dement I. N. Hobgood: T. L. Cannady, alternate- Bell Town C. R. Gordon; J. P.

Hunt, alternate. liranville county is entitled to 13 votes in the State convention, and Mr. L. J. Cooper made a motion that all who attend the convention be al lowed to cast a pro rata vote. The motion was carried. Judge A. W. Graham offered the following which was adopted by a rising vote of the large convention: Resolved, That we the representa tives of the Democracy of Granville county, in convention assembled do most cheerfully and earnestly com mend to the fayorable consideration of the State Convention for the of fice of Commissioner of Labor and Public Printer, Mr. John T. Britt, of the Public Ledger. In every way competent to fill the position, bis labors in behalf of the principles of Democracy and White Supremacy have been of the most arduous, un remitting and effective nature. No uncertain sound on all prin ciples dear to the Democratic party has ever eminated from his lips or pen, and we hereby instruct our delegates to the State Convention to use all honorable means to secure his nomination. Upon motion Messrs. A. A. Hicks. Charley Crews and L.S. Elliott were appointed as a committee to wait upon Hon. F. M. Simmons and re quest him to address the conven tion. While awaiting the return of the committee Mr. J. T. Britt was called upon and tfianked the con vention for the resolutions in his be half. On motion of Mr. H. M. Shaw Col W. H. S. Burgwyn who was present then addressed the convention in short speech which was well received by the convention as he is one of Henderson's most honored citizens The committee having returned ac companied by their distinguished guest and great head of the white man's party in the old Tar Hee State, Hon. F. M. Simmons, who wa3 introduced by Mr. Willie Devin one of our level-headed young law yers. His short speech was a rea gem, concrete and well delivered, devoid ot the usual fulsome praise paying a just tribute to the great head of the Democratic party in North Carolina. When Mr. Sim mons arose to speak he was greeted with long applause, and after refer" ing to the warm welcome he had re ceived at the hands of such a large and enthusiastic body of intelligent men and the terrible man the Rep- Pops had made him out to be he plunged into the discussion of the amendment. He did it in a plain and emphatic way, and explained the reasons why it should be adopted by the white people of North Carolina, and em phasized that it would be adopted by the true white people of the State. His argument in favor of the amend ment was plain and convincing, and he dealt only in cold facts, and said every truo man to his race should vote for. them. He did not cloak anything, and said plainly the ob jpet of theamendmest was to disfran chise a majority of the ignorant ne gro voters, but not a single white man whether he knew a letter in the book or not. Said that many of our fore fathers who laid the foundation of this great goyernment were unlet tered, but had brains to know what was best for the people. Mr. Sim mons met with an entnusiastic re ception, and his speech will do great good in Granville. The convention adjourned about 3.30 and the county executive com mittee held a meeting at which Mr. Crawford Cooper, the bold and ag gressive chairman of the committee, tendered his resignation, which was lothfully accepted as Mr. Cooper had lead the party to victory in the great battle of 1898. Of course the next thing was to get the services of a fearless, bold, aggres sive champion of Anglo-Saxon rule, and Gen. Beverly S. Royster proved to be the unanimous choice of the committee. As he was never known to shirk a duty or fail to raise his voice tor pure government and the best interest of a people he loves so well, accepted the chairmanship and his work will be heard from on the first Thursday in August. Berea Precinct Primary. The Democrats of Berea precinct met on March 31st to choese a town ship chairman and to elect delegates to the County Convention held in Oxford Tuesday. 'Squire J. G. Shot- well was chosen for this responsible position and we are sure will make a most excellent officer. After the enrollment of delegates speeches were called- for and some pure, nn defiled Democracy poured fourth from the lips of Chairman Shotwell, W. H. Tilley. and lastly Rev. J. B, Floyd took the floor and made a soul- stirring speech of about fifteen min utes, the close of which we quote: "I have never been more solid on any political measure, unrs is me white man's countiy and should be the white man's government. In the language of Henry I would say 'sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish,' 1 am for the amendment." W, A, MC ARLAND, J36C ACROSS THE THRESHOLD. YOU KNOW SOME, BUT NOT ALL.

Henderson's New Dailv Starts Off Bright and Newsy. Our esteemed friend, Brother Will X. Coley has commenced the publi cation of the Evening Herald in our hustling sister town of Henderson, lt iB bright and newsy, and presents a very neat appearance, and we are pleased to see it well patronized. In looking over the advertising columns we failed to see the advertisements of some of the leading business men who should certainly encourage a daily newspaper in their town, and not sit still and enjoy its benefits without contributing to its support. But all towns have such close-fisted men in it, and we are sorry to say Oxford is no exception to the rule. Our experience teaches us that we haye accomplished a great feat to even get some business man tn Al low us to make 11 cents a year out of them on a year's subscrintinn tft the Public Ledger. To illustrate: After working hard for twelve years on a business man in our town, and we never like to give up, he has at last become a subscriber to the Pub lic Ledger. We wiso Brother Coley better luck, and that the Evening Herald will become a great factor in Henderson's progress, and a bright gem in .North Carolina journalism. fliss flary Belle Gregory's Opening.
