can be had.
Mr. Kittrell had written Mrs. Tur
ner that sentiment among the busi
ness men here was very much in fav
or of the construction of the proposed
line, and that unless something tan
gible were done, the matter would
probably be taken in hand by local'
interests, and a new charter sought
from the State legislature so that
definite action might be taken. Mr.
Kittrell has replied to the letter of
Mrs. Turner as to her latest suges-

iinssom.
For some time it was planned to
have Hon. Gilliam urissum, ui
Greensboro, the Republican canamaie
for Congress, to come to uranvuie,
his native county, and make speeches
for his party. His coming to Gran
ville last week, where he made twelve
speeches, was advertised far ana near
over the county. The weather was
ideal Saturaay . and a large crowd,
most of them being Democrats, lis-,
tened to his speech in the court
house. '
Dr. G. T. Sikes, Republican County
Chairman and Senatorial candidate
from the Granville-Person district,
introduced Mr. Grissom, who spoke
for forty minutes on National and
State issues. Mr. Grissom is a man
of fine appearance and an earnest and
interesting speaker. He believes ev
ery word he says, but what he said
was mostly wrong. From a Repub
lican viewpoint he scored a few good
points. Being a devout member of .
the Episcopal Church, Mr. Grissom
is guarded in his uttrances. He did
not abuse the other party, nor did he
assail the character of his opponents.
"This is a day in which every man is
entitled to his political and religious
belief and the abuse of an opponent
wins neither souls or ballots, said
Mr Grissom. He went so ii
state that he had not asked a single
or, in thP other counties of the dis
trict to support tiim at the polls, but
in Granville, his native county, u
stated with pardonable priae mai it
would be a great pleasure to know
that his "own Diooa auu uuuC
membered him at the polls in the
November election. - ;
Mr. Grissom is sure to pon me iun
Republican vote of the county. Large
mimhPrs. mostly Democrats, go out
to hear him because he' is a clean
campaigner. His uxtora speecu w
a fine example or tne man 01 iuat
eree of mentality who gets on the
stump and who instead of argument
has only abuse to offer.
Mr Gooch, candiaate ior me uuuoc
of Representatives, closed , the meet
ing with a twenty minutes address on
State and county issues.
