The Republican leaders of the
county are thoroughly alarmed at the
prospects of defeat, and are putting
their heads together and scheming as
only radicals know how to scheme.
But it won't do them any good. A
vigilant Democracy has its eyes in
them.
The Day would respectfully suggest
to the direttory of the West Oxford
Iand Company that it would be a good
idea to build two large wings to the
Cherry Hill Mansion and convert it
into a hotel. The situation is a beau
tiful one, and it would be a most at
tractive place for summer visitors from
the South and winter visitors from the
North.
Collision 011 the O. & C. Road.
The mail train from Raleigh this
morning was about an hour late, and
when it did put in an appearance the
locomotive was badly smashed in front
and minus its cowcatcher.
It appears that the .mail collided
with a freight at Durham. How it
happened we could not learn, but
from what we could gather the freight
engineer was in fault. His engine was
almost completely wrecked.
Fortunately no one was hurt by the
accident.

Mr. Kittrell started immediately up-

SOUTH OXFORD.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR
COTTON FACTORY.
Another Great Move of the Oxford
Laud, Improvement and Manufactur
ing Co. --Reorganization.
South Oxford is to have a Hundred
Thousand Dollar Cotton Factory !
The Oxford Land, Improvement
and Manufacturing Company held a
meeting a few days ago, at which this
important enterprise was determined
upon.
The company, after distributing to
each of its stockholder a lot, 'now
owns one thousand lots 25x200 feet,
and 900 lots 50x100 feet, and, in order

them will be sold to parties who are
ready to take it.
This stock will be offered on the

Twelve dollars ($12.50) and fiity
cents cash; balance when called for by
the company in 12.50 payments, not
to be oftener than once a month, the
the stock to be full payable and non
assessable.
When the stock is all placed there
will remain in tne nanas ot tne corn-
pany as assets two hundred lots valued

If the company had no other source
from which to derive revenue than
from the factories located and pro-
posed in South Oxford, there is no
reason why these factories should not
earn sufficient money to pay a fair div

which will be disposed of for the bene

The work of developing South Ox
ford has but just started. Already,
many miles of broad streets have been
graded, and factories and houses built;
but we repeat what we said not long
since, that that magnificent property
will in thejno dis ant future be dotted
with factories, pierced by railroads
and filled with dwellings.
A number of live canvassers will be
started on the road tomorrow to sell
the cotton factory stock. The invest
ment is one of the best and safest ever
offered.
