To the Young Voters.
Young man, ask your dear mother
who it was that redeemed the State
from negro rule and protected the
homes and firesides of the good peeple
of Granville countv and she will tell
you it was Hon. F. M. Simmons, who
had the grit and nerye to fight Marion
Butler and negro rule m North Caro
lina. By all that is true to the inter
ests of your State, cast your vote for
Simmons, who has proved to be the
bulwark of liberty in North Carolina.
That low, degraded negro-loving
sheet that is being mailed from the
office of Collier's Weekly to this State
for the purpose of defeating Senator
Simmons, is evidently inspired by
Marion Butler or some one equally as
low and degrading. It is indeed hu
miliating in the extreme that Kitchin's
campaign manager should sanction
such low and vicious literature. It is
entirely beneath the line of common
decency, inspired by a feeling of "rule
or ruin."

Wonder when the county campaign

The warehouses of Oxford have
offered about $1,500 in premiums to
farmers who sell tobacco on the high
averaged Oxford market, which are
proving a winner. The buyers have
large orders and all they desire is to
be allowed time to take care of what
they buy.
Oxonians have had a little taste the
last day or two of what they will have
to put up with during the entire com
ing winter unless something is di ne
by our Town Fathers to relieve pres
ent condition of our streets, which are
proving a stumbling block to the pro
gress of the town.
Tobacco Premiums.
The State Fair which i3 held at Ral
eigh soon is offering between $300 and
$400 in prizes for tobacco this year.
The first prize is $125 for the best dis
play of wrappers, fillers, cutters and
smokers, each sample to contain not
less than five pounds. The second
prize $100 for the second best display.
Then first and second prizes on each
of the individual grades; the grades
competing for the big prize cannot com
pete for the individual prizes. Any
Granyille county farmer can send
samples to the State Fair and then
bring them on to the County Fair at
Oxford. It would be advisable for any
one thinking of competing for these
prizes to write to Mr. Joseph E. Pogue,
Sec'y. State Fair, Raleigh. N. C, for
premium list of State Fair, and to Mr.
J. F. Webb, Sec'y. County Fair, Oxford,
for premium list of Countv Fair. Gran
ville produces the best tobacco in the
State, and should be well represented
at the State Fair. The premiums are
large enough this year to justify atrial.
It is hoped that quite a number of far
mers will compete for these prizes.and
specially so since the State has but
recently decided to locate the tobacco
test farm in Granville, which in itself
goes to show that she is looked upon
as one of the best tobacco counties in
this State.

Farmers Complain that Their
Stock Suffer in Oxford
for Want of Water.
Farmers who patronize Oxford feel
that our town has been nefilifjpnt tn
their best interests, and refer to the
alarming fact that there is only one in-
significant drinking fountain at which
tbey can quench the thirst of their
beast of burden when they come to
Oxford, and it is frequently the case,
eyen in hot and sultry weather, that
these suffering animals are compelled
to wait until they reach home or pass
some branch or creek before they can
get the refreshment that is so neces
sary to their well-being.
It is passingly strange that the good
people of Oxford have not seen to it
that adequate drinking fountains have
not been supplied. It is rather incon
sistent to welcome the farmer to Ox
ford and pat him on the back and
ignominiously fail to recognize the
needs of his animal. It is true that
water can be had at the warehouses
during the period of their activity, but
during the long summer months when
they are closed the only place where
the dumb animals can find water is at
the small picturesque fountain that
adorns the intersection of Hillsboro
and College streets.
Just think of it, onl one public
fountain in Oxford, the centre of the
best agricultural community in the
State, and after the dumb animals of
Granville county have pulled eight
million pounds of tobacco over
rough roads to our matket they must
suffer the inconvenience of water. By
all means let us have adequate places
where horses and mules can find an
abundance of pure sparkling water.
Henderson has eight public fountains
and Oxford has only one!
The Town Commissioner will tell
you that there is no money available
or this purpose. Be that as it may,
the fact remains that something should
be done to meet the demands of the
town, and a bond issue seems to be
only logical way of raising the funds.

The departure of Milton Hobgood,
the slayer of Propus Wilkinson, for the
State Penitentiary to serve a thirty
year sentence is the closing chapter
of one of the sadest dramas that has
ever befallen the people of Granville
county. Before leaving the jail last
Tuesday to begin the long sentence he
requested that he should be permitted
to confer with his eldest son, who re
sponded to the behest of his father,
and the meeting of father and son
was touching in the extreme. The
father bade his son to cheer up and
look on the bright side, and strive to
avoid the pit-falls of life. In speaking
of his own career he acknowledged and
deplored his shortcoming; that he was
resigned to his fate, and that he in
tended to make the most out of it by
a close observance of the prison rules.
In referring to home affairs he urged
his son to be dilligent, honest and
frugal, and to look upon him as one
who is dead.
Sheriff Wheeler left Oxford with his
prisoner over the Southern Railway
at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, ac
companied by Gen. B S. Royster, the
prisoner's chief counsel, who accom
panied him to the Penitentiary and
saw him placed in the hands of the
warden ot tnat institution, un arriv
ing at the prison the doctor made the
usual examination and consigned Hob
good to the hospital until he regains
sufficient strength to serve at hard
labor. It is the desire of Hobgood that
the prison officials will assign him to
the State Farm, and owing to the fact
that the prisoner is a skilled farmer it
is thought that he can best serve
the State in that capacity.
