Some sincere claims are being made by the managers of each of the three senatorial candidates. Some claims are made with the deliberate intention to deceive In this class, however, we could not honestly place the estimate of the over-zealous Simmons support ers who are figuring on 50,000 or 60.000 majority for their man at over 20.000 or zo.uuu. rm again, nas any one been heard to make the claim that Kitchin is going to have a majority over both Simmons and Clark; or that Clark is going to have a majority over both Simmons and Kitchin? The an swer to this question, if honest, will be, "no." And the answer to this question will be also the answer to the question as to how the election is going to result. The most that the Kitchin and Clark adherents have claimed is that there will be a second primary, and in that event the Kitchin people say Clark will be eliminated and his strength will go to Kitchin Anv one who is at all versed in the situation knoW3 that this is a forlorn hope, inasmuch as the good sturdy men who will support ('lark are the very feilows who are calculated to support Simmons at the very first prov ication. Everything that could have been said against Simmons was said early in the campaign. Absolutely nothing new has been developed and the Kitchin managers have worked over the old dough so often and so long that they themselves must have be come sick of the job, while on the other hand true Democratic principles lias characterized the Simmons side of the campaign and made the work a pleasure In the mean time Judge Clark has been getting along on the least amount of money possible. Sim mons has been spending whenever and wherever necessary, while Kitchin has been waisting a pile of it unneces sarily. A New Bank For Oxford. A charter has been secured for the Union Bank of Oxford, capital $100, uuu authorized and $10,000 subscribed. by Messrs. W. L. Peace, J S Brad sher, J. D. Brooks, and L F. Perkin sen for general savings and commer cial banking business. The incorpora tors except Mr. Bradsher, are citizens of Oxford. It is understood that the stockholders will meet at an early date and formulate plans. It is not given out as to what building the new bank will occupy. At the Presbyterian Church. Mr. L B Padgette, secretary ot the Laymen's Movement, will speak at Presbyterian Church at 11 o'clock on unday morning. It is hoped that as many of Oxford's churchmen as can wlu arrange to be present at this meeting to henr hirn. The convention be held in Durham on 31st will be Interdenominational and will have on Jts program some speakers of national in this department of Church work. CONDEMNS SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

The Public Ledger feels very grate ful for the liberal support the people have given it during the past 60 days both in subscribers and advertising. Even if Tom Settle should happen to be elected Governor he could not re peal the prohibition law. It would have to be done by the vote of the peo ple.

Now is the time to buy your coal as the Oxford Ice Co. has a large supply on hand. See advertisement elsewhere. The improvements at the Seaboard Depot will soon be completed, but it seems to us they would have looked much better m a nice new depot of the modern type. Our expensive way of doing things and having a good time all the time without regard to the cost in money spent or time wasted, is one of the reasons why we don't keep an account at the savings bank. While victory is enevitable if all Democrats do their duty, still the door of Democracy stands wide open this year. Above that door is emblazoned the word "Welcome" and that welcome is tendered to all independent voters. Five hundred people in New Bern hold an indignation meeting to express their condemnation of the misrepresen tations of Senator F M Simmons. That is but a forecast of the thousands throughout North Carolina who will ex press their disapproval on election day.

She leaves a husband and a number of relatives to mourn her death. Tobacco continues to roll in on the splendid Oxford market every day, and prices continue very high and our fine farmers go home with smiling faces and fat pocket books. And Oxford continues to grow and some people seem to think we need another bank.

Deep are the meadows with clover, Deep are fields with dew, And the cup of life's honey runs over For all the plain people and you. The Senatorial campaign in North Carolina seems to be receiving more attention than the National campaign for the election of a Democratic Presi dent. As the campaign is in its clos ing weeks, we find the contest between the Senatorial aspirants getting be yond all bounds. There are charges and countercharges. The registrars are not rushed, in fact there seems to be little interest in reg istration. It's time the politicians were stirring the voters up to the import ance of registering. If you have re moved from one precinct to another since 1910 it will be necessary for you to secure a transfer, or if you were not registered two years ago you will haye to register this time. Reciprocity Meeting. On Tuesdny afternoon, October 10, the beautiful colonial residence of Mrs. C. D. Ray, on College street.was thrown open to the club women of Oxford for their Reciprocity Meeting. The Civic Club of which Mrs. Ray is president, was on the occasion "at home" to the Shakespeare Club, and the Woman's Literary Club. The combined membership of the three clubs comprises about 100 wo men, most of whom were present. The hospitable home of this gracious hostess never appeared more attrac tive than on this occasion, with its decorations of growing plants and a variety of cut flowers, artistically ar ranged with a view to the color scheme of the reception hall and parlors. The air was redolent with the fragrance of fall roses, while the October sunshine, tempered by stained glass windows, shed a glow over the handsomely gowned women, added beauty to the effect and also creating an atmos phere of friendly fellowship and good cheer. The meeting was under the direc tion of the Reciprocity Committee, of which Mrs. John Webb is chairman. Mrs. Webb left nothing undone that pertained to the pleasure and comfort of the guests. She, with the other members of her department, Mes dames W. A. Devin, John R. Hall, Kate White and N. H. Cannady. stood at the door to receive the guests and bid them welcome. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Ray, who in a cordial little salu tatory extended welecome, both in her own name and in the name of the club She commended her co-workers for what they had already accomplish ed for good as an organized body and encouraged them not to worry in well doing. Mrs. S. H. Cannady, president of the Woman's Literary Club, brought greet ings in the name of her club, and Mrs. Shaw, president of the Shakespeare Club, was sponsor for that body. The program for the afternoon was contributed by representatives of the three clubs, and consisted of two original papers from the two literary clubs, and two voice and two piano selections from the Ciyic Club Miss Mary Webb, chairman of the music department, deserves credit for the arrangement of the attractive pro gram, some of the selections having been prepared for this occasion. In addition to home talent the club was favored with a song, and impersona tion, rendered by Mrs. Woodall, voice and expression teacher at Oxford Col lege. When the interesting program had been completed refreshments were seived by the "hostess" club under the direction of the household econim ics committee, of which Mrs. H. Gf Cooper is chairman. A most debghtful hour thus enjoyed brought this meeting to adjournment, and thus rounded up the third of the series of Reciprocity Meetings es tablished three years in Oxford's Club 1 circles.

Oak Hill Oracles. Our corn crop is much shorter this year than last, but we will raise an abundance of turnips on which we can fatten our pigs. It may seem strange to most people to state that we have such late to bacco in North Granville, yet some of the farmers have as much as one or two barns of tobacco on the hill, still growing. Some people predicted early in the season that there would be a very limited crop of tobacco grown this sea son. From the large breaks on the Oxford market one would infer that a full crop was grown. By the time the tobacco from the southern part of the county has been marketed the crop from Northern Granville will be taken to Oxford, and there is enough of it to keep things moving lively during the remainder of the tobacco season.

VOLUME 25. NO. 95 OUR NEXT GOVERNOR TALKS An Enthusiastic Audience Greets the Hon. Locke Craig. Hon. Locke Craig, norninee for Gov ernor, spoke to an audience that filled the Court House to its capacity Thurs day in a speech that was the best yet delivered here, considered from the logical way in which he took ud the various subjects discussed, and from the standpoint of oratory. Mr. Craig was officially welcomed to Oxford by Mavor D. G. Brummirt and a number of leading citizens, who escorted him to the Court House, where Mayor Brummitt, chairman of the Granville County Executive Committee, rapped for order, and after a few preliminary remarks in which he urged every voter to qualify by registering he requested Mr. John Webb to introduce the distinguished speaker. Mr. Webb was a class-mate of Mr. Craig at Horner School, and it was fitting that he was called upon to present his old college chum to the voters of Granville county. In his in troductory remarks Mr. Webb referred to the pleasant school days in which the next Governor of North Carolina and himself were school-mates, and of the pleasure it gave him to introduce one who was so clean and pure in his life. An amusing incident occured in the course of Mr. Webb's remarks in which he referred to his school days back in "1778" At this the Governor's hand flew to the top of his head to as certain if his hair was still there after so many long years, and when he got up to speak, and seeing many ladies present, he cautioned Mr. Webb to be more careful in the future as to how he talked about the "ye olden times when they were at school together." The distinguished speaker referred in glowing terms to the old historic Horner sctool which has been instru mental in furnishing so many noble sons to the State. He spoke at some length about the multiplied industries and the resources of the State ; his review of the tariff question was en tirely satisfactory to every Democrat present. There is scarcely a phase of our State and National life that he did not discuss with a familiarity that revealed the deep student in a man ner most convincing. By his frequent reference to the ag ricultureal interest and farm life it is interesting to see our next Governor lay mere politics aside long enough to discuss other things of vital impor tance to so large a number of our peo ple. He says that the field and the country home is the basis of our whole structure; that this is where the great bulk of our people spend their lives and do their work. Mr. Craig bids fair to be the great agricultural and good road Governor that the State has needed so long. Carteret Literary Society. The Carteret Literary Society met on Friday night in the school audito rium at 7.15. The query for debate was: "Resolved, That the protective tariff should be abandoned." On the affirmative were Messrs. Lindsy Tay lor, William Pace, Paul Daniel and Harry Renn; on the negative were Messrs.William Mallone, Biount Bryan, Frank Furman and Roland Gooch. Af ter some debate the judge decided in favor of the affirmative. The club j was pleased by having some young ! Iadie3 in the audience. Press Rep. ! - ... . . .
