At Oxford Opera House Wednesday night, Nov. 5. Admission, 25, 50 and 7 5 cents. Reserved .seats at J. G. Hairs drugstore. PROF. C. N. GRANDISON. A Good Speech in the Opera House L.at Nlght--Severe on Brower'. Prof. C. N. Grandison, the colored orator from Greensboro, made a two hours' speech in the Opera House last night. There were about fifty whites and several hundred colored people to hear him. He was introduced by E W. Cannady. Grandison is a pure negro, but he is well educated, a goocf speaker and be lieves in the future of4 his race. He gave the negroes good advice, and said the solution of the Southern problem was for them to educate themselves, acquire refinement and they would command respect. Intelligent, think ing men do the ruling and always will rule. It was natural that the white people of the South should rule and combine to prevent the domination of the ignorant. 7&d white men joined the Republican party, and by appealing to the preju dices and passions of the hegroes,drove themsolidly to the pollsj 'He-thanked God that that time has passed and his people will never again vote for any one party. They are .beginning to think and when they think they sepa rate. . " : He is a Republican, but he is for C. H. Moore, the colored man, for Congress. He was very severe on J. M. Brower. The little, corrupt boss, he said, insulted his race, consigning them to hades. Brower remarked if some of the -negroes v don't vote for him he will get more white votes. Grandison brought down the house by saying he didn't know so much about that Democrats don't usually swal low a man after the negroes spew him him up; only buzzards would pick up the dirty little fellow. He pronounced the statement cir culated by Brower, that Moore was paid to run by the Democrats, a lie. He knew it to be a lie; he knew what he was talking about. White. Repub licans in Forsyth and Guilford coun ties are paying Moore's expenses, and if the negroes stick to -Moore as they should he will be elected. Grandison was frequently interrup ted by Brower's henchmen, but he answered them sharply and silenced them. At a signal from one of the boss men, in the midst of the speech, half of the colored people arose in their seats and left the hall, shouting "hur rah for Brower." Grandison says he was threatened with a whipping when he came out: but" the threat was an V ' . idle one, for he departed unmolested. Services at Baptist Church. The services at the Baptist church increase in interest and earnestness each night. "My Son, Give Me Thine Heart,' was Mr. White's text last night, and so earnest and pathetic were his pleadings for the Master that twenty professed to give their souls to find, while a large number were asking, "what must I do to be saved? The congregations are large each night, and if the. interest continues to increase, the people of the town will bestirred on the subject of religion as they never were before. Pastor Hardaway is anxious for everybody to attend, and extends a - - 4 most cordial invitation to all. For Sale.

THE CAMPAIGN, COUNTY AND CONGRESSIONAL WILL CLOSE TOMORROW. Brower. Webster and the Democratic County Candidates Will Speak Ilere--Williams Will be in Stem. The campaign, county and congres sional, will come to a close tomorrow. Capt. A. H. A. Williams will make his last speech before the election in Stem. Hon. John M. Brower will have a joint debate with Ex-Speaker J. R. Webster in Oxford. The Democratic county and legislative candidates will also speak here. Large crowds are expected at both places. Oxonians who were at Wilton terday say Mr. Webster went for yes Mr. Brower in astyle beautiful to behold. The little Republican boss talked in his usual reckless strain, and was pulled up short on several statements which Mr. Webster pronounced false and proved they were. ftlse. Mr. Brower had the unblushing ef frontery to say the reason Capt. Wil liams was not at Wilton was because he was afraid to come. Hon. A. W. Graham replied to this, saying that Capt. Williams fought bravely in the late war and that there was men in the crowd who were in battles with him, who knew that he wasn't afraid of Mr. Brower or any other man. Voices yelled "that's so !" and a great cheer went up for the gallant and beloved Democratic standard bearer. Mr. Webster, the county candidates and Mr. Brower are at Stovall today. Meeting Postponed. The president has again found it necessary to postpone the meeting of the Oxford Literary Society. The next meeting will take place at the residence of J. W. Hays, on Nov. 7th. The following is the program for the evening. Play "King Lear." ( Epitome of play, Mrs. H. G. Cooper. Reading from play, Miss Mattie Rountree. Music (inst.) Mrs. H. O. Furman. Reading from play, A.

Besides selling and applying his remedy, he is an expert maker of hair jewelry. He has just romnleted a droD charm made of a piece of hair from Gen. Robert E. Lee's war horse. It is a beautiful and artistic piece of work. The hair was given to him by an Oxford lady, whose father secured it in the '(Jo's.

Happenings in' North Carolina and Elsewhere from Today's Papers. The Greensboro Daily Workman says: Associate Justice Avery, whose opinion should command the . highest respect, having heard the preaching of Evangelist Fife, thinks Mr. File will yet surpass the celebrated Moody as a revivalist. The Asheville Citizen says : It now begins to look as if the murder of Mrs. Rhoda Morrison by her husband, Henry T. Morrison, was a story manu factured out of the whole cloth., The woman, it seems, is still alive. Henry T.Morrison, who was arrested, has been discharged by the prosecuting attorney. A syndicate of capitalists from Washington, D. C, Roanoke and Petersburg, representing a capital of over one million dollars, has purchased several hundred acres of land in Chest field county, just across the river from Petersburg, Va., and will build a new town. A good deal of this land Is on the river flats, where mills and factories of all kinds are to be erected. The new town will be connected with Petersburg by a handsome bridge over the Appomattox river, and a line of' electrical cars.; The postmaster of New York makes the announcement that the act of Congress excluding lottery matter from the mails prohibits not only the mailing of lottery tickets, circulars, r etc., but also: newspapers Or other publications containing any "advertise ment of any lottery or gift enterprise of any kind offering prizes, dependent upon choice; and,fu: thermore, that the. law offices of the postoffice has decid ed that advertisements of European government bonds are held to come , within the provisions of the new law. A Louisville, Ky., telegram of the 28th says: Incorporation papers for a tobacco company which embraces nearly all leading warehouses in this city and Cincinnati, and of which of much has already been published, were filed to-day. Its business em braces storing and selling leaf tobacco and everything that usually belongs to vvarehouseing. The capital stock is 4,000,000, one half preferred.
