THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
The Election of Mayor and
Commissioners is Four
Months Ahead.
The announcement in to-days Public
Ledger of the meeting scheduled for
Friday eveniDg, January 3, for the ex
pressed purpose of considering certain
things pertaining to the future growth
and prosperity of Oxford, should enlist
the attention of every citizen of the
town. An earnest, systematic effort
to build up Oxford is the purport of
the meeting, which is the outgrowth
of a long-standing agitation as to the
best methods to employ in mending
and maintaining the streets of Oxford.
From time to time the Public Ledger
has suggested a number of tried and
tested methods to raise funds for the
sole purpose of beautifying and main
taining the streets of Oxford In dis
cussing me improvements incident to
the needs of our town, we have not
at any time felt it incumbent upon us
to reflect upon the integrity and wis
dom of the Town Commissioners. They
are men above reproach, in whom we
all have a pride ; but the occasion
itself, with a depleted town treasury,
is enough to inspire serious considera
tion. It is well in these days of the
initiative, referendum and recall, to
speak plainly on all matters that per
tains to the growth, prosperity and sta
bility of Oxford. When God in the
long ago endowed this community with
superior health, and gave us men cf
wisdom and strength.it is humiliating
in the extreme to note that we have
not, in a commercial sense, kept
abreast of the times. Other towns,
less favored by nature, have sprung
up, surpassed us and are sapping our
life's blood ; but blessed be the tie that
binds, we have a sturdy manhood in
Uxiord who are ready to step out and
smite their breasts and defy the rav
ages of time. The dawn of a progres
sive administraton in Oxford would
break asunder the bonds that have
bound us so lung; the long and glitter
ing paved streets would bf an in
spiration ; men of wealth would knock
at our dwors for admittance; property
values would double, and a more cul
tured and healthier city could' not be
found on the face of the earth.
As an indication that our municipal
affairs are being widely discussed we.
herewith present a ticket which was
handed to the Public Ledger with the
request that we publish it and give our
opinion of the fitness of the men to
serve the best interests of Oxford The
ticket, as handed in, is as follows:
Mayor, A. H. Powell; Commission
ers, W. H. Fleming, M. P. Chamblee.
Charles Elmore. W. H Britt. W. Z
Mitchell. A. A. Chapman and W. A.
Parham
We have not discussed the proposi
tion with these gentlemen, and can
only speak of their fitness in a general
way. We know that Mr. Powell, who
is mentioned lor Mayor, is a safe and
sound business man who believes
io doing things ; he is well qualified to
handle the affairs of the office and
would lend dignity to the high calling.
Those mentioned on the ticket for
Commissioners are good men and
would doubtless serve the best in
terest of the town. We observe that
the selection is made with a view to
give all parts of the .town equal rep
resentation , and the ticket, taken as
a whole, has a progressive ring about it.
Barricading the Thieves.
Few people know in a general way
of the great precaution that is neces
sary to protect the funds of a banking
institution against the invasion of burg
lars. The Union State Bank, which
will open its doors for business in Ox
ford at an early date, is now placing a
vault in the Mitchell Block that will
fcfy the most skilled burglars. Diging
deep down into the ground for a solid
foundation the contractors of this
vault laid a foundation of cement
tone and brick which makes it abso
utely certain that no burglar will ever
tap the treasure-house through an un
der ground tunnel. Beginning at the
earth 8 surface, and on and up through
the floor the walls of the vault, built

Senator Overman Sick.
The Associated Press dispatches
states that Senator Overman was
operated upon for appendicitis in
Washington last Friday. The Senator
had already purchased his ticket and
bis baggage checked to Salisbury when
he was seized with pain. Physicians
were summons and the Senator was
nibhed to a hospital, where the opera
tion was performed. The Senator was
on the operating table two hours and
stood the ordeal remarkably well," and
the doctors pronounce him out of
danger. The Senator had just return
ed from an interview with President
elect Wilson at Princeton, where he
had gone to press the qualifications
of Mr Jasephus Dauiels for the ap
pointment of Postmaster General. The
dispatch conveying the news said that
Governor Wilson "listened attentive

A tabie had been set apart for the
guests and the host invited his friends

The Time of Feasting. "
The time of feasting is here. During
the hollidays there will be spread upon
many boards throughout the land and
abundance aye, a superabundance
of the richest food, and to those tables
many favored ones will be inyited. He
in whose honor these holidays are kept
said : "When thou makest a dinner or
supper, call not thy friends, nor thv
brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thv
rich neighbors ; lest they also bid thee
again and a recompense be made thee.
liut when thou makest a feast call the
poor, the mauried, the lame, the blind.
And thou shalt be blessed : for thev
cannot recompense thee." That is not
in accordance with the ideas of the
ones who engage in the social whirl in
this day, but it was not spoken to
please them
Stamps For Parcels Post.
The postoffice authorities at Wash
ington are sending out to all the post-
otnees ot the country the new parcels
post stamps. Under the law, which
becomes effective on the first of the
year, mail matter of the fourth class
must bear distinctive postage stamps.
These stamps are being issued in
twelve denominations, and stamps in
five denominations
The regular stamps measure 1 by
1 Yz inches, and the color selected is
red for all denominations. In a curved
panel across the top, supported by a
perpendicular column at each end, ap
pears the words, "U. S. Parcel Post.'
The subjects or designs for the sev
eral denominations are:
1 cent Postoffice Clerk.
2 cents City Carrier.
3 cents Railway Postal clerk.
4 cents Rural carrier.
5 cents Mail train.
10 cents Steamship and mail ten
der. 15 cents Automobile service.
20 cents Aeroplane carrying mail.
25 cents Manufacturing.
50 cents- Dairying.
75 cents Harvesting.
$1 Fruit growing.

ilar panel at the bottom appears
"Postage Due."
The public is warned that after the
first of the year ordinary postage
stamps will not be valid for payment
of postage on fourth-class matter. The
regular postage due stamps will not
be valid as a demand for payment
upon short-paid matter of the fourth
class. On the other hand, first.second
and third class mail matter bearidg
parcels post stamps will be treated as
"Held for Postage." The same thind
will happen where fourth-class matter
is sent with ordinary postage stamps.

VOLUME 26. NO. VI
A WORD TO THE BOYS.
Cow Bells, Tin Horn and
Fire Cracker Heard
In the Land.
Boys, the chief executive of Oxford
has lined up with you this Christmas,
in promulgating an order whereby
you may blow horns, ring cow bells
and shoot fire-crackers between sun
set Christmas Eve to 12 o'clock Christ
mas night Asked about this amuse
ment, Mayor Brummitt, who was once
a bov himself, declared that the law is
very plain and explicit as to the shoot
ing of fire-crackers in the corporate
limits, but he is disposed to put
the boys on their honor during said
hours. No boy with any honor will
abuse the privilege prior to or after
the hours designated; if so he may suf
fer the misfortune of arrest.
That little warning clause in Mayor
Brummitt's message, to the effect that
there must be no disorderly conduct,
has a deeper meaning to it than some
young people are willing to grant. He
doubtless means that the firing of
Roman candles, fire-crackers and
other explosives in which powder is
used is not only very painful to the
ears but also positively dangerous not
only to property but also to life and
limb. It we interpret the Mayor's
message correctly, he simply means
that he wants the boys to have a good
time, but they must be careful, con
siderate and within the bounds of the
law and reason. It is a very painful
thing to read on the morning aftpr
Christmas the long list of deaths and
fires, the result of carlessness.
IVSusical Oxford.
The musical program as rendered hv
the church choirs last Sunday, speaks
wen tor the musical talent of Oxford.
and confirms the onininn that thi
talent should be imcorported into a
Musical Association and a Grand Musi
cal Festival held twice a year, in Mav
and December. The association would
fill a long-felt want in Oxford ; a small
fee, say $2 00 for the series, wouid
make it self-supporting; it would have
a decided tendencv to drive nut tho
rag time" music which catches the
penuy, and its enobling influence
would be felt in every walk of life.
The public owes a debt of gratitude to
these singers, and those whom God
has endowed with sweet voices and
nimble fingers should be induced to
meet in concert at least twice a yeir
for the public good.
Happy Boys and Girls.
Quite a number of our boys and
girls who went off to the various seats
of learning in the Fall, have returned
home for the holidays. They are a
nice looking set of young people, and
the enobling influences of college life
has already made an indelible impress
upon their minds and character, and
in every instance, let us hope that the
influence has been for good, as their
happy faces indicate. And it is a
beautiful sight at this season of the
year to see the fond embrace of parent
and child and the quieting influence
the parental roof has upon the quiv
ering hearts of these young people.
We wish them much happiness and
renewed energies to fight for honois
on campus and in college hall The
future of the State and the Nation de
pends largely upon the present day
student bodv of the county, and we,
the people of Oxford, are "banking" on
our sons and daughters.
National Corn Exposition.
From three thousand miles across
the continent there will be brought to
the National Corn Exposition at Co-
I lumbia, South Carolina, on January
27th, much that is of great interest.
Among other thing?, will be featur
ed the modern methods in growing,
handling, packing and marketing of
fruit, including a demonstration of the
penetration system of spraying; the
plant breeding work at the station in
wheat, oats and barley; and some of
the work on moisture requirements of
crops. The Exposition deals with all
phases of agriculture, demonstrating
geographically results cf experimen
tal and research work of various State
agricultural insitutions, the Federal
department of agriculture and other
agencies in rural improvement work.
Quite a number of the Boys' Corn Ciub
of Granville county will attend.
Sometimes a young lavyer makes
