It is a waste of time to try to make
some people believe there are two
sides to a question.
Perhaps you have observed that it
is usually the poorest performer who
is always the most willing to play.
Distance may lend enchantment,
but you never see some people back
ing very far away from a mirror.
If the thing had kept up much
longer we would have known how
manv electoral votes there in each
State.
They tell us that now is the time to
swat the fly, but we have only two or
three left and they buzz so pathetical
ly that we haven't the heart.
Speaking of the Tilden affair of
1876, there isn't a woman on earth
and only a few men who can recall
that very exciting event.
Nothing so wonderful in the state
ment that a Maryland man has cast
nineteen Presidential votes in ninety
two years, In days agone some peo
ple used to cast that many in a sin
gle day.

CHAVIS GOES TO PEN
Hester received six months en the
roads for carrying a pistol. John
Ragland pleaded guilty to carrying a
concealed weapon. Jere Bullock was
convicted of larceny. These two de
fendents had not been sentenced
when this was written.
Carrie Bowden, a negro girl, was
convicted of larceny and given six
months in jail. J. H. McCain for the
offense was sent to the roads for six
months. In the case of Frank Mc
Ghee, the negro who shot the man
over at the Fair Grounds, the injured
man was too unwell to be present.
The case was therefore continued and
an order made admitting McGhee to
bail in the sum of $500.00 whenever
the phvsician in charge of the injur
ed man gives certificte that he is out
of danger. Of course, the prisoner
will not be allowed bail o long as
there is a possibility of the death of
the injured man.
Matthias Grissom was up for an
assault and was hired out to Mr. J.
W. Whitfield for six months. Graham
Thorpe for an assault was fined $10
and taxed with the costs. Allpn

The most important criminal case
was that against Bud or Jim Chavis
for the killing of Will Bn.Jlnck. Both
parties were esrroes and lived rear
r. William Thome's in Oak Hill
Townshin. According to the evidence
it anneared that, the killing was the
result of pn accident erowing out of
the carels pointing of a gut at Bul
lock bv Chpvis. At the beginning of
the trial Solicitor Gattis announced
that he would not ask for a veridct
of murder in the first desrree. After
the evidence was in a nlea of man
slaughter was tenedered for the pris
oner which was accepted by the State
and Judge Daniels imposed a. sen
tence of two years in the State's
prison on Chavis. The result seem
ed to meet with the treneral anroval
of those who heard the case tried.

DR. TUCKER TALKS
His Majoritv is Or One Thousand
In The District
( Dirrham Herald)
Senator-elect E. J. Tucker, of Rox
boro, was avisitor in the city yes
terday. Herwas elected Tuesday to
represent the seventeenth senatorial
district in the general assembly. Dur
ing the past term he served as a mem
ber of the house of representatives
from Person bounty. The senator
spoke interestingly of the recent elec
tion results in Roxboro. The heavi
ness of the vote was surprising and
the largeness of the republican vote
was also a surprise to many people.
In Person county President Wil
son's majority was thirty-six votes.
Major Charles M. Stedman, congress
man from the fifth district, and his
republican opponent, Mr. Gilliam
Grissom, tied, receiving exactly the
same number of votes. Senator Tuck
er's mapority over his republican op
ponent was sixteen, although in Gran
ville county his majority wras 9 87.
The democratic candidate for sheriff
was leected by a lead of. fifty-one.
A democratic coroner was elected
and the people chose one democratic
county commissioner, the other mem
bers of this board being republicans.
Person's one representative in the
lower house is a republican. The
democratic state ticket was elected
by slight majorities, Governor-elect
Thomas W. Bickett's margin over Mr.
Frank A. Linney being eight votes.
The total vote cast in the county was
approximately 1,900, or about 500
votes more than the usual number.
Senator Tucker sa4d that the republi
cans put up an unusually hard fight
and that much money and whiskey
was used. :

The Weekly Ambon Of St. Stephen's Parish
The Twenty second Sunday after Triniiy.
We speak of the "Greek Church" or, as it calls iself, the Holy
Orthodox, Catholic, Apostolic, Oriental Church. The fact that this
Church, a good half of Christendom, passes its life out of sight of
European 'civilization adds to its interest. For it, there has been
no Middle Ages, no Reformation, no Protestantism. It remains
much as the fourth century left it. Its great spiritual power has
been shown not in public convulsions, but rather in its penetrating
influence on individual character. The deepest personal piety, and
the profoundest Christian devotion is, to-day, fouaid among the a
verage members of this Church. The Russian Church Music is the
best in the world. ' It is not accompanied by any musical instru
ment. The last prayer in Morning Prayer in Prayer Book comes
from Liturgy of St. Chrysostom. Sermons in the Worship of this
Church are only occasional.
