ad done for the farmer and
oH. old soldiers and the reply was in
t'he rative lie referred to the
record of "Governor Kitchin. many years
in Congress and almost four years
duvernor of North Carolina, and asked
what lie lni done. His record, accord
ing to Jude Clark, was worse than
that of Simmons. The Governor had
not .;.! v failed io enforce the planks
of the State Democratic platform re
garding trusts, etc. , but he had "gone
the limit" in pardoning convicts. Re
ferring to hi entrance into the Sen
ate race, judge Ciark said:
"The road to the United States Sen
ate is open to any men whom the peo
ple may wish to send there. I do not
need to have my hat chalked bv any
set of men. In the language of Mr.
Roosevelt, it i in the ring.' and will
stay there until the sun goes down on
November 5."
Judge Ciark then outlined some of
the measures he favored and for which
he would endeavor to have adopted if
elected h the Senate. Among the
foremost of the measures was his ad
vocacy of the "land bank," an institu
tion similar to that established by the
German Government. He paid a
tribute to the farmer; said that there
were times when the farmer needed
assistance; that the German banks
had worked remarkably well and that
why should the capitalists in America,
who create nothing, received all their
money from the government without
interest and the farmers, who are the
backbone of the country, cannot bor
row from the country at all."
Judge Clark asked: ' What has either
of my competitors ever done during
their years in Congress to remedy or
attempt to remedy this condition? '
Judge Ciark advocated legislation
that wouid uncquivially destroy the
trusts, f'e referred to the tobacco
trust and the erstwhile North Carolina
tobacco market, and declared that
"the tobacco trust has destroyed it."
Judge Ciark spoke for the old soidiers
ami advocated that if pensions be paid
that they he paid indiscriminately;
tfiat the confederate soldier receive as
much as she federal soldier. He said
' our war was not a rebellion,', and re
sented the paying of great pensions to
northern soldiers with monies drained
from
he South. He criticised the
trusts in general, and especially the
Southern Railway, which he character
ized "as the greatest sinner of them
ail"
Judge Ciark said that he favored the
election of ail public servants by pri
mary votes, including the postmasters
n the various vicinities. He favored
H graduated inheritance tax and ad
vocated a tariff for revenue only.

The Charlotte Observer says : We do
not know how the Kitchin men are go

people that the Governor is no longer
in the running and the battle is now
between Simmons and Clark. At best
it will prove to be a small diversion

EI in wood Cemetery.
We learn that the Town Commission
ers have $600 to the credit of the cem
etery fund, and no doubt the authori
ties will improve conditions where
sleep the dead. Conditions haye been
greatly improved since the Public
Ledger took occasion to mention the
matter last week The evil doers who
have been desecrating the sacred spot
are now aware that the night police
man includes the cemetery in his
rounds. We submit this all important
question to the careful consideration
of the proper authorities. It is desir
able that a way may be found in which
the immoral element can be excluded
from the hallowed grounds without in
terfering with those who have a spark
of divinity in their breasts, and that
the cemetery ceased to be made u pub
lic thoroughfare.
Collision at Clarkesville.
Several persons were injured Thurs
day morning in the yards of the South
ern Railway at Clarksville when a
j height train on the Atlantic and Dan-
viile road collided with the southbound
passenger train, due in Oxford at 11.15
a. m. Although both locomotives were
badly smashed and three coaches fell
off the structure, a distance of thirty
feet to the ground, no one aboard was
killed. The most severely injured are:
J. M. Taylor, a fireman, and J. II Egg
leston. brakeman, both from Lawrence
ville. Among the North Carolinians
hurt are: J. Y. Husketh. Kittreil, scalp
wound; Sarah C. O'Brien, East Dur
ham, cut on forehead and badly bruis
ed; A. P Hobgood, Oxford, sprained
ankle and bruised about body: Mrs.
W.J. Bras well, Oxford, severely bruis
ed; C. H. Burnett, of Oxford, cut
about head; Ida Barnes, Chestnut
Ridge, cut and bruised. Those from
Oxford and vicinity reported hurt were
returning from Richmond.
Revival Meetings.
The season for revival meetings is
still on, and there is great interest be
ing taken by church-goers. Last week
Rev. L. H. Joyner held his meeting
with the church at Bethel. This is a
splendid new church, and the people
are among our best. Rev. Marvin
Hester, our returned missionary, did
the preaching to the delight of the peo
ple and the meeting was a great suc
cess. This week Rev. Nelson, who
lives at Kittreil, is holding a meeting
with his people at Island Creek church,
near Williamsboro. Rev. Mr. Morgan,
of Burlington, is doing the preaching,
and Prof. Wilson, of Durham, is leading
the singing Island Creek is a live
Church amfgreat crowds come each day
to enjoy and take part in the service.
Rev. L. H. Joyner is holding the an
nual meeting at Salem this week. Rev
Mr. Bailey, of Louisburg, is doing the
preaching and is preaching some fine
sermons. We also have with us Rev.
Marvin Hester, Mrs. J. M. Rhodes and
a number of other christian workers.
Many thanks to Miss Lourane Joyner
for her valuable work as organist. One
special feature in this meeting is the
fine solos by Rev. Marvin Hester. Dr.
Tyer was with us Wednesday. This is
a great meeting and good crowd every
day and much interest manifested.

and whereas he was made a Master
Mason in 1864, and lived 47 lA years
an honorable upright Mason, in the
full discharge of his duty as he con
ceived it through the injunctions of the
Masonic Fraternity, therefore be it re
solved; Fint That we bow in humble sub
mission to Him in whom we put our
trust.
Second. That we extend our sym

Lost Votes by His Speech.
We learn from three farmers from
different sections of the county that
Gov. Kitchin lost votes by his speech
in Oxford Tuesday on account of his
attack on Senator Simmons' record
and the Democratic party. We con
sider his speech a failure insofar as it
was designed to convince the average
voter, unbiased though he might have
been, that Senator Simmons is a dan
gerous man and should be removed
from the Senate and replaced by the
Governor himself, who posed as the
only true and genuine representative
of "Progressive Democracy." The Gov
ernor does not seem to have the same
confidence in himself that he had four
years ago, nor does he speak with the
same enthusiasm.
Governor Kitchin in his speech here
last Tuesday argued that the praise
for Senator Simmons' work in the Sen
ate came from a subsidizen press in
North Carolina, that these references
to him would not be found in the
Washington and New York papers. If
any one will take the time to look at
the Washington Post of August 1, will
see in large lines the credit for tbe
great achievement for tariff reform
recently brought about in the Senate
ascribed to Senator Simmons, the
Democratic leader. Let us keep the
facts straight and not try to minimize
the great work for Democracy our
Senior Senator is accomplishing.
Colored Annual Celebration.
The colored population turned out
good and strong last Wednesday, the
occasion being the Annual Cekhration
at the Colored Orphan Asylum. The
crowd was the largest in the history of
the institution and numbered not less
than 7,000. The excursion trains, five
in number, began to arrive early in
the day and all manner of vehicles
were kept busy during the day in con
veying the crowd to and from the
Asvium grounds. The crowd was as
orderly as any colored assembly
one would desire to see, and the good
oid time darkies were in evideuce.The
colored people of Granville county are
just a little better than the average.
The mules and horses which they drove
into Oxford on this occasion reflects
great credit on them. Many of them
own little farms and have money de
posited to their credit.
Suprintendent Cheatham, of the
Colored Orphan Asylum, is doing a fine
work. The premises are scrupulous
clean and the children are bright and
healthy.
The town authorities are to be con
gratulated for keeping the dust down
with the sprinkler on the streets lead
ing to the Asylum.
'Rat in the
I am reliably
Meal Barrel."
informed that there
are a few men in Northern Granville
who are using every possible means at
their command to defeat Propus Wil
kinson for re-election upon the Board
of County Commissioners.
Why this Herculean effort to defeat
a good and faithful officer, one who has
performed his duties intelligently and
in the interest of the people of his
county?
Here is the "rat in the meal barrel."
Once uDon a time three or lour men
living along the Virginia line in North-
ern Granville made application to the
commissioners to have a certain pub-
lie road located in a certain place.
More than fifty as good citizen as live
in Northern Granville signed another
petition asking that the said road be
located in another and a better place
Mr. Wilkinson believing in the good
old rule the greatest good to the
greatest number and allowing majori
ty to rule gave his influence in favor
of the fifty and this has proven to be
the proper and better place for the
road. This same disgruntled squad, I
hear, are telling it around that the
citizenship of Oak Hill township are
saving that they had rather Oak Hill
tnwnshin had no renresentative than
to see Prt p js Wilkinson go back r n the
f " .
Board. A few people are
simple
enough to believe this report. "Alas,
what fools we mortals be " Compare
the roads of Oak Hill township to-day
with what they were several years ago.
Before the public roads were almost
impassible, and they are now as good
as the roads near Oxford. The truth
is a physician moved from Oak Hill
township because he could not get
over the roads to see his patients. He
now tells me that he can see his
North Granville patrons with greater
ease and dispatch than he could while
living in North Granville. I refer you
to Dr. G. S. Watkins for the correctness
of this statement. These salutary
changes and wonderful improvements
are in a great measure due to the
efforts and influence of Propus Wil
kinson. Commissioner Wilkinson is always
at his post. He attends every meet
ing of this efficient and faithful old
board, and his vote is always cast to
the best interest of the people of this
nmintv. A Close Observer.

ling, guilty; Smith 6 months, Hester
and Harris 4 months, and Green 3
months each on the public roads
State vs James Dorsey and Oscar
Cooper, affray, both guilty; judgment
suspended upon payment of cost.
The following is the report of the
Grand Jury :
To His Honor Judge H. W. Whedbee,
Judge presiding:
We the grand jury of July term of
Granville Superior Court beg leave to
report that we have passed upon all
bills presented to us, and we wish to
thank his Honor, Judge Whedbee, and
the Hon. Solicitor for all assistance ren
dered us. . We in a body have exam
ined the jail and all offices in court
house. The jail we find kept in clean
and sanitary condition, prisoners re
port themselves well and plentifully
fed, and bedding free from vermin.
There are in jail a number of stills
which we recommend be destroyed.
The office oi Register of Deeds we find
well kept, all records neatly recorded
and properly indexed. We have no
recommendation to make in this office.
The office of Clerk of Court, we find
neatly and properly kept and records
indexed. We recommend that the
vault in this office be enlarged and
that more fire proof shelves be placed
therein. The Sheriffs office we find
well kept and recommend no changes.
The county home and convict camp
we examined by committee. At the
county home we find 21 inmates well
fed and properly cared for; buildings
in satisfactory condition.bedding clean
and free from vermin. We find at the
county home the following stock, etc:
27 hogs, 3 milch cows, 4 calves, 2 work
mules, 3 horses, 5 colts. 220 bushels
wheat, about 300 lbs dry food, about
500 lbs home cured meat. In regard
to the rumored sale of county home,
we think it unwise to sell the entire
farm at any reasonable price, but rec
ommend that if any sale be made for
a Test Farm that 1&5 or 200 acres be
offered to the proper authorities; tbe
place to be cut to the best advantage
and all dwellings be on the part not
sold. We recommend that the coal at
the county borne be kept under shelter.
At the convict camp we find 13 con
victs properly clothed and cared for;
work stock in good condition.
Respectfully submitted.
