A Word as to Our Market.
The Oxford tobacco market is still
firm, and statistics show that nearlv
two and one-half million pounds have
been sold here since the beginning of
the season.and it is conservatively esti
mated that between three and four
million pounds remains unsold. The
tobacco sold so far this season on our
market averaged $20 00. All of the
warehouses had an equal show at the
me gicdi pne, ami one can naruiy
one can
realize what a oile of monev has al
ready been paid out for the succulent
weed. The Farmers Warehouse alone
last week sold $16,000 worth of to
bacco in two days, and it is not an
uncommon thing for the Banner,
the Johnson and the Owen Ware
houses to reach that magnificent
figure. As a good, steady reliable
market Oxford is unsurpassed.
Special Notice to Subscribers
We are advised by the Third Assist
ant Postmaster General, Hon. J. J.
Britt, that copies of the Public Ledger
sent to persons after one year from the
aate or tneir subscriptions, unless
such subscription be renewed for
definite time, together with an. actual
payment of subscription or a bonafide
promise of payment," cannot be sent
tnrougn tne mans at the newspaper
rate. We direct the special attention
of our subscribers to this fact and ask
those that are in arrears for a year to
make payment s frsce. Thjs must he
done or we cannot mail them the pa
per. We ask that our friends who are
behind one year to give this matter
their Attention at the earliest possible
moment and save them embarrass
ment and us some trouble
We thank all our friends for their
patronage and do not want to lose a
single one of them.
Erroneous Impression.
My attention has been called to
the statement being circulated to the
effect that the last Legislature passed
an act requiring the dead bodies of all
paupers to be turned over to the
medical schools.
This is entirely erroneous. The only
act having anv relation to the subject
was Chapter 188 of the Public Laws of
1911, which makes immaterial amend
ments to Sec. 2488 of the Revisal
This section provides that the un
claimed dead bodies of persons under
sentence of death or imprisonment in
the penitentiary may be turned oyer
to the medical schools, The proviso
is distinct that "this shall only apply
to persons who have been convicted
of and are serving a sentence for a
felony."
Let there be no misunderstanding
what the lav is. W. A. Devin.
The Colored Fair.
The Colored Fair, which was held on
the grounds of the Granvnle County
Fair Wednesday and Thursday, was a
very creditable display indeed for the
colored people of the county, and
showed that they have done consider
able painstaking work. The exhibits
of farm products were splendid and
many of them were worthy of premi
ums. The same can be said of all the
exhibits, and a glance at them had a
tendency, to swell our county pride,
not only for the many perfect speci
men on exhibition, but for the good, in
dustrious colored people ofe county
who produced them. The fair was
well attended both days, and it was
one of the most respectable crowds of
colored people one would find in the
State. As to the parade. Lonnie Hicks
the celebrated blacksmith, deserves
especial mention. Ke had a pair of
bellows and an anvil on a float and
the sparks that flew from the sledge
hammer as thev passed through the
streets was a very attractive advestise
ment. WE HAVE IT

A Howlng Old Time.
It was necessary a few days ago to
put a ban on all dogs running at large
in Oxford, and since the decree went
forth to impound all stray dogs, the
chief of police for once has all he can
do. There are a number of nice little
doggies around town that are prized
yery highly. They are given comfor
table quarters in the back yard, but it
is the dirty curr which gives the chief
so much concern. The ban will be
lifted Nov. 4, but until then we will
continue to have a "howling old time."
The County Campaign.
The county canvass continued this
week, the condidafes going to Oak Hill
Tuesday afternoon and to Cornwall
Tuesday night. Mr. D. T. Winston,
precinct chairman, presided and made
a short address in regard to the po
litical issues. Judge Graham was with
the candidates at these places and
made an excellent speech.
Thursday afternoon the speaking
was at Bullock. Thursday night Sto
vall was visited. Senator Hicks was
at these two places and ciosedwith a
strong tariff ppeech.
Chairman Brummitt is highly pleas
ed with the prospects in the county.
He says that nearly every precinct will
increase its Democratic vote and ex
pects a majority in the county ex
ceeding any heretofore given.
The remains of Mrs. Martha Canna
dy, who died in Norfolk Thursdav
night, will arrive here this (Friday)
afternoon and will be taken to the old
Cannadv burying ground at Cannady
Mill for interment.
VOLUME 25. NO. 99
LAST LAP OF CAMPAIGN.
The Senatorial Candidates
Will Speak Up to Eve
of the Election.
This is the last lap of the campaign
and things are very lively. This is es
pecially true m the senatorial race.
Senator Simmons is sneaking vfrv
day in his home district. The Senator
is showing the strains of the campaign,
coming as it did immediately following
ue session ot Uongress. Mrs. Sim
mons is accompanying herdistinguish-
ea nusoand and making an effort to
keep him from overwork. The Sen
ator is very popular, as every one
knows, and when he retire tn th
hotel for rest great throngs gather
about him and literally take him "off
his feet." Once inside the hotel corri
dors, Mrs. Simmons, a most gracious
lady, fands a way for Mr. Simmons to
retire for rest. The Senator will close
the campaign in his home town Tren
ton Monday evening.
Governor Kitchin, a little weary,
too, shows the indellible marks of a
long and hard fought campaign. He
is speaking every day in the Fifth dis
trict and will close at Roxboro, his
home town, on the eve of election.
Chief Justice Walter Clark is still in
the race, and he is showing steady
gains all oyer the State. Many believe
that the race between Kitchin and
Clark will be very close, but there is
little likelihood of Judge Clark stand
ing second in the race, but the indica
tions are that if the campaign was
prolonged for another month Governor
Kitchin would surely close up the rear.
All three cf the candidates are hope
ful and each claim the victory, but in
this instance two of them are neces
sarily doomed to disappointment as to
the final outcome of the campaign.
Raleigh is the place for all sorts of
political gossip these days. They are
discussing the recent action of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee aad tie warm supporters
of Governor Kitchin are trying to make
capital out of the ruling, but they fail
to say that the ruling was inspired by
the friends of Governor Kitchin, and
those who could not go to Raleigh
sent their proxies. The result was
the adoption of the resolution, and i
there is any "kick coming" it ghould
be registered against the Kitchin peo
ple. We merely speak of this for the
sake of keeping history straight.
The two giants or the mountains,
Hon. Locke Craig and Hon Tom Settle,
met at Rutherfordton Wednesday by
accident or otherwise, and the expect
ed happened. Mr. Settle led off and
fortified himself behind his whiskey
planks, but Mr. Craig proceeded to
demolish the "whole business " Good
authorities place Craig's majority of
at least 50,000.
In the mean time it is an open secret
that each Senatorial candidate will
have their friends at the polls early on
the morning of the election to see that
their interest does not lag.
Only a few more days and the dis
cussion of politics will cease and we
will have an opportunity of going back
to better things. The Public Ledger
will be glad and yet there is consider
able fun in the political game.
Vice-President Sherman Dead
Vice-President James S Sherman
died at his home in Utica, New York,
Wednesday evening last. Mr. Sher
man, it is said, was one of the politest
men this country ever produced, and
that accouuts for the nick name, "Sun
ny Jim," which followed him in life. He
was running on the Presidental ticket
with Mr. Taft, but his death in no wise
complicates affairs, it is said. Hon.
John Wannaraaker, of Philadelphia, a
wealthy merchant and former Post
master-General under President Har
rison, has been requested to head the
ticket with President Taft, but he is,
as yet, undecided.
