OUR TOBACCO MARKET.
A Comparative Statement
Shows Our Market to Be
Steady and Strong.
Search the tobacco markets of the
world and you will scarcely Una one
that is as regular as the Oxford market
in both nouniis and high averages. Ir
is pleasant to note, however, that the
tendency of our maiket is ever up
ward in both money and pounds. If
the past season had been an ideal to
bacco year in this immediate section
ot f tie State we would riot only stand
at the head ol the column of hih aver
ages, but we would stand third from
trom top in pounds sold in the other
niatkets of the State. The following
figures tell a pleasant story for the
past three seasons :
February 1, 1911 Pounds sold. 6,-244,-440;
average, $12 63; amount $790,
44020 February 1, 1912 Pounds sold, 6,

The Corn Show.
The great National Corn Exposition
of 1913 will soon be a thing of the past,
but it will live in the memory of many
boys and girls as one of the most in
teresting and delightful events of their
lives.
As I was one of the three lucky
North Carolina girls who had this tnp
given to me, together with all the ad
vantagts of the exposition school, I
would like to tell the Tomato Club
of Granville something about what I
saw and did while there. 1 want to
say first of ail that I felt proud cf North
Carolina, as ever, for our exhibit made
a most creditable appearance, and I
think we were close on the heels of
Alabama, who won out first. Next
time may it please the fates to smile
on cur best efforts and have our posi
tion reversed.
We had six delightful days in Co
lumbia filled to the limit, partly with
pleasant duties, but mostly with hav
ing a good time generally. We are in
debted to Mrs. Charles McKimmon, of
Raleigh, for many of our pleasant ex
periences. Mrs. McKimmon holds a
warm place all her own in the hearts
of many North Carolina girls to whom
sde has opened up a means of better
home making and a renewed interest
in farm life. She has added one more
item to her list of benefits by helping
to give th ? girls a good time at the
Corn Show.
The gentleman at whose house we
were stopping took us in his car every
day to show us the attractions of Co
lumbia and the surrounding country,
and Columbia is well worth seeing It
is a lovely town and especially at
tractive when decorated with flqgs
and bunting ab it was for the Exposi
tion. Every morning we were at the
Exposition grounds at 9 o'clock for the
opening exercises, ready to have our
heads rilled with all kinds of useful
knowledge handed out to us by the
best authority of the land. We had
demonstrations by domestic science
teachers, daily lessons in sewing, and
demonstrations in canning. at which
we girls assisted. Dr. Bradford Knapp,
from whom we bad received so many
letters if instruction and advice dur
ing the past season, delivered a most
interesting address the last evening of
visiting. Other speakers were Walter
H. Page, editor of the World's Work,
New York; Dr. Mitchell, president of
the University of South Carolina; Clar
ence Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer. Raleigh.
The prizri awarded to Alabama for
the best exhibit from Boys Corn Club
ana Girls' Canning Club was a bronze
bust cf the late Dr. Leaman A Knapp.
ih.s was presented by Mr J O. Scheub,
of Raleigh, after which he had a num
ber of choruses by the boys and girls,
each State taking turn in the perform
ance. Altogether the corn show was
great, the exhibits from every State
were fine, and we had such a good
June that it would be agreeable to us
to have alike experience, several times
a year.
I understand that I am indebted to
ifce brauviile Commercial Club for the
Pleasure or the trip, and I wish to give
tnem my sincere thanks.

Southern Buggy Company.
We had the pleasure of being shown
through the works of the Southern
Buggy Co., and although the hustling
enterprise has just rounded out tLe
first six month's of its existence it is
indeed a yery vigorous youngster.
The firm is composed of Messrs. E. J.
Taylor, Sid H. Usry and Vernon W.
Taylor, practical buggy builders of
large experience. They not only re
pair wagon and buggies, but thev turn
out new work. We noticed in their
large show room a number of buggies
and surries built to order, and the en
tire workmanship, including the up
holstering, painting, wood-work and
all is extremely durable and artistic.
Besides the large amount of repair
work which constantly engages their
attention they daily receive inquiries
about specially built buggies. This
firm has leased for a number of years
the shop and warerooms of the late
Frank Edwards and have installed an
up to-date plant capable of turning
out a large quanty of work. Nothing
in the buggy line is too small or too
great for this hustling firm. The plant
embraces one of the best blacksmith
shops to be found anywhere. See
their adv. elsewhere in this paper.
Commission Government.
Articles regarding roads, bond issues
and a commission form of government,
some of them dealing with ali these
subjects, seems to have confused mat
ters in the voter's minds.
City government by commission was
brought to the attention of a large
part of the country for the first time
immediately after the great Guif storm
which destroyed Galveston. The suc
cess of the five men who were put in
charge of the city's affairs at this crisis
was widely observed. Later many
citizens adopted this method and
found it productive of economy, prompt
enforcement of statutes and good gov
ernment generally.
In this connection it may be ot in
terest to state that since the Declara
tion of Independence in 1778. few, if
any towns in the six New England
States having a population of less than
10.000 have ever known anything but
a commission form of government.
It works something in this way:
Once a year a warrant is issued to
all citizens to attend a mass meeting
to elect three "Selectmen" to take
charge and full responsibility of all
town affairs. T'-e warrant contains
other article?, each dealing with one
question of general public interest
The sense of the meeticg is taken as
to the way to deal with each article.
After election the 'Selectmen" organize
by the choice of a chairman, who thus
becomes chief executive or mayor The
whole procsss is very simple. It brings
the government very close to the peo
ple, Any citizen can renominate his
own particular favorite, offer sugges
tion, make criticisms, or air a griev
ance in the mass meeting, which is
the supreme authority for the town
ship. The mass meeting deals en
tirely with local issues; State and Na
tional politics seldom being referred
to at these gatherings.
In cities where a Mayor is to be
elected there are usually two or more
candidates; hard things are often said
and unkind feelings are provoked
between friends and neighbors. When
the three best citizens that can be
found are to be put in charge of the
people's affairs it does away with bit
ter contests, because most everybody
will succeed in getting at least one
whom he considers desirable elected
to the beard, with one chance in three
of his becoming chairman.
The above thoughts are offered for
consideration if there are be early
changes in the Oxford charter.

Regarding Town Affairs.
To the Public Ledger:
I do not wish to discuss the policy
of a newspaper, but as a reader of the
Public Ledger I would suggest that
UDless all communications regarding
the management of the town is ac
companied by the name of the writer,
the waste basket should be the proper
place for all such contributions. It i3
somewhat of a puzzle for any thinking
man or men to decide what is best to
do under the circumstances which we
are placed at this particular time in
regard to the town's revenue, and this
condition has prevailed for some time
The present Board have done things
which have been criticized, and had
the critics been in their position they
would be enjoying the same condem
nation. Men think differently by lo
cation, consequently actions are dif
ferent and if we would all learn to
accord to others the same rights that
we ourselves expect some of these
needless criticisms would not be in
print. I am not capable of advising,
at present at least, the voters of the
town who or for what they should
vote, but one thing I will promise that
should tuch capacity descend on me
in the near future I will publish the
same with my full name and address
without casting insinuations at men
who have tried to do their duty, and
doging the responsibility by signing
ficticious names. C H. Parham.
The Public Ledger rejects all com
munications unless the author of the
same is known to us..
The Farming Interests.
It is time Granville county was be
ginning to wake up and appreciate its
possibilities. There are lew counties
in the middle West that have as much
as a million and a half of dollars turned
loose each year and scattered broad
cast a.nong her farmers for their chief
crop And yet you may travel for
hundreds of miles and probably with
out an exception you will find beauti
ful farm homes, large painted out
buildings, and I have been told the
farmers, own to a large extent, the
banks, with their deposits.
Granville county's tobacco crop of
1912 will bring approximately one and
one-half million dollars. The. tobacco
crop of 1911 brought almost as much,
if not more. Now what has become of !
all this money? It is true there is
considerable more money on de
posit in the banks of the county, but
increase deposits are not sufficient to
account for all the money that has
been brought into county from out
side sources for the past two years.
The great drain on the farmers has
been for home supplies. Car load af
ter car load of hay has been shipped
here, thousands of bushels of corn, j
oats, irish potatoes, meat, flour, canned
fruits, vegetable and numerous ether
things that can be produced on our
own farms, saving not only the actual
value of the produce, but thousands
of dollars every year paid the railroads
in freight.
Everything I have mentioned can
be grown profitably on any ground in
Granville county except possibly
wheat, if the best methods are used,
and the farmer himself is willing and
anxious to improve his own conditions,
and the condition of his farm, so let's
all work together and try to keep more
of this tobacco crop money at home
another year, encourage the saving of
fruits and vegetables by patronizing
the Tomato Clubs, encourage the
growth of more corn and hav by en
couraging the boys. Let's have a Hay
Club another year as well as a Corn
Club, open to every farmer in the
county
Let's all begin this New Year's vork
by attending the Farmer's Institutes
to be held at Oxford February 13th.
and Hester February 14th. There will
be two prizes given for the best five
ears of corn, and one to the ladies for

Mr. Rose had been a member of the

many important charges. There was
no better man in North Carolina. As
a minister, he was faithful, earnest
and proclaimed the gospel in the way
that impressed all who heard him.
His death is a great loss to his church
and the State, as well as to his family
and friends.

make too many radical changes. Mr.
