Tuesday's News and Observer says the Legislature yesterday disposed of the matter of new judges by pass ing the bill to abolish the two crimi nal districts, establish four new Su erior court districts, and require the judges to hold all needed extra terms up to forty weeks in each year with out extra pay, except actual expenses. The law really imposes very little ad ditional burden on the taxpayers. In salaries the only increase is $2,750 each annually for two judges, which is to be reduced by the saving of the sum heretofore paid for special terms. The Anti-Cigaretie Law. Following Is the text of Senator Brown's anti-cigarette bill: 'It shall be unlawful for any per son, firm or corporation to sell, offer to sell, give, buy for or offer to buy for any person or persons under 21 years of age in this state any cigar ettes, cigarette paper, or any substi tute therefor.

Bears the I TilB You Mav9 Aiways ou2ht WEDDING BELLS IN DURHAM. Marriage of Two of Granville's Former Young People. We learn from the Durham Herald tlmt a happy wedding ceremony was solemned at the home of the bride's parents Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock when Miss Celestia Hunter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Sikes, was given in inarrifige to Mr. O. J. Howard, of Granville county. It was a quiet affair and but few intimate friends and the relatives of the young people were in attendance. Rev. Livingston Johnston, Secretary of Baptist Foreign Mission Board, officiated and spoke the words that made them man and wife. Miss Hunter came with her parents from Oxford some time since and du ring her stay in Durham she has made many friends who extend best wishes for a long and happy life. Mr. Howard is in t he employ of the Southern railway and for some time has been stationed at Pomona, a few miles from Greensboro. He is said to be very popula r among a large cir cle of friends. They both have many admirers to wish them bon voyage on the sea of life. Candidate for Nomination for Mayor. To the Citizens of Oxford: I de sire to announce myself as a candi date for Mayor for the next term, and hereby ask you for your support in the Convention and at the pollsjin that behalf, Being identified to a more or less extent with the business interests of our town, I feel a deep interest in its progress and welfare, and I have done and will continue to do all withlu my power to help in building Oxford up. Push and Progress are the watch-words of the towns of our State. Then let us as one man, pull all together and keep peace with them. We have the man and the Drains, and all the natural advan tages of our uoighboring towns Then why should Oxford lag behind? We have made some progress durin the past year, and have felt in some degree the spirit of the times. Now if we will all pull together, and heip each other (for thereby we help our selves), the Spirit of Progress will be felt among us. This will give us courage, and where there is courage there areEnergy and Enthusiasm, ami where Energy and Enthsiasm are united and well directed, Progress and Improvement are bound to fol low. We must not be too soon sat isfied, but like the little boy who, being asked by his mother what he should say to the lady who gave him some candy, promptly replied, "More." I feel that I can serve you efficiently and acceptably. At any rate, should I be elected I shall give my best ef forts in that direction. If, however, there be another who you think can serve you better, I assure you that 1 shall be as much pleased as you to have such an one serve in my stead, The success of Oxford, and thereby the Increased value of what property I have in it, and my business therein, mean more to me than the office of Mayor. I ani first for Progress and Improvement, and if you think tha t I can serve you as well as any other man, I will thank you for such an expression of confidence, and take good care that it is not mistakenly bestowed. Yours very truly, H. M. SHAW. Dr. J. Wm. Jones at Oxford Seminary. It will be learned with pleasure that Dr. J. Wm. Jones, Chaplain of Con federate Veterans' Association, and during all of the Civil war a Chaplain in General Lee's army, will lecture in Oxford Seminary Chapel on evening of Feb, 21 on "General Lee the model Man." Those who have heard this lecture pronounce it a masterly one. Dr. Jones was associated much with General Lee, while he was President of Washington and Lee University, and Dr. Jones was pastor in Lexing ton, the seat of the University. This is a rare opportunity to hear a distinguished lecturer on an intense ly interesting subject. Doubtless many of General Lee's old soldiers living in the county will avail them selves of this opportunity to hear again of their old commander. This information is given us by Presi dent Hobgood.

Samuel Spencer, Esq., President of Southern Railway, New York City: Dear Sir: Since advising you some weeks ago of the disreputable condi tion of the roadbed on your com pany's line passing through here, I see tha t some of your people havebe stlred themselves and removed the sorriest ties in this immediate vicini ty. Between the 53rd and 55th mile posts there are two culverts that an. simply a dig-race to a railroad that can pa j- dividends on its preferred stock, besides a trestle with rotten wood "to burn" in it. The running time of your best train (Keysville to Durham, eighty-eight miles) is three hours and forty minutes. Probably if your roadmaster or dispatcher was favored with an inquiry he would ad vise that the present speed was a "high safety," all things considered. A late issue of the Financial Chron icle gave the Southern Railway a complimentary notice, saying inci dentally that your Company was constructing upwards of 50 miles the road in South Carolina to reduce to time between New York and Jack sonville. In this connection it may be recalled that the old Richmond & Danville is indebted to this county to the sum of $00,000, for which our peo ple desiring to go to Raleigh via your line are obliged to spend the night in Durham. To reach any point east of Jefi'ress Junction on the Norfolk Division a night must be spent at Clarksville. On this account passen ger traffic to Norfolk is barred and in going to Richmond after spending six hours and upwards en route (Oxford to Richmond 138 miles) ar rival there is after business hours and frequently too late to connect for Washington and other points. The distance from Oxford to Danville via Jeffress Junction is 89 miles, via Keys ville 121, yet the fare is the same. The distance from Oxford to Norfolk via Jeffress Junction is 100 miles, via Henderson and Seaboard Air Line 140.. The difference in distance in the first case is 33 miles. In the other only 20 miles, and though you meet the Seaboard's short line rate to Richmond, you refuse to equalize the fare to Norfolk. Can any construc tion be put on this than total indif ference to local traffic? Actual distance from Oxford to Henderson is 11 miles, by rail 14 miles Fare arbitrary is 45 cents either way 90 cents for the round trip; practi cally prohibitory to most of our peo ple. The towns have many common interests and a 50 cts rate round trip, good for 48 hours, would admit of visiting back and forth by the na tives, while your 45 cents one way fare would still catch the transient trade. The train operating between these points lays still at one of them most of the time, but might be used to make advantageous connection at Durham or Jeffress Junction. The local freight might be utilized for the wuiie purpose only that it is used also for construction purposes; a make shift that was perhaps In order in 1S92 or would have been becoming enough under the Richmond & Dan ville regime. If it is argued that it does not pay to operate this line, the present man agement begged this question when they took it into reorganization and by that act became responsible to the section it serves. Presumabry it is known to you that many of our leading citizens, who could afford to pay when they had occasion to trav el, receive free transportation. If I am rightly informed an attorney who has for many years ridden on an an nual pass sued and secured damages for a party who was proved to have been hurt months previous to the time the occurrence was alleged to have taken place. The verdict was undoubedly the result of prejudice against the Southern Hallway Com pany on part of the Jury, which was due to the policy of your company. This suggests the question whether it is better for a corporation to make the community. It serves feel that there are common interests, or to so conduct itself that the farmer and others dependent on it turn Popu lists and repay corporate maladmin istration with adverse legislation. Whenever it becomes necessary.Mr. President, for the Southern Railway Company to buy a Legislature you are personally responsible; not per haps as an active participant, but as a corrupter of young men, and one who permits a blow to be struck at the integrity of our institutions. A sawyer, who controls 3,000 acres of land, told me last week that he was going to put in a shingle mill aud send his output to market by team because he had to pay $20 for hauling a car of dimensioned stuff 12 miles same was to be loaded by shippers and unloaded by consignee without expense to Southern Rail way. Value of carload was say,$100, hence transportotion was upward of 20 per cent. No business can stand that, and such charges offer a pre mium on lying in regard to weights and measurements. With an order for 100,000 feet a mJUnian could afford to ffer a local agent inducements to underbill shipments. The writer had occasion to move six colts 25 miles re cently. Your charges were 5 percent on the cost and your General Freight Agent was offered one dollar per head, but declined, and the colts were driven though the country, although It was quite muddy, at saving of 50 per cent over Southern Railway rate. These are, specific instances of more than the traffic will bear. There are probably hundreds of others all tend ing to discoumge local trafiiewhieh is the kind that pays best in the long run. Of this there are not lacking jonspicious illustrations as you loubtless well know. Signed LOUIS DE LACROIX. MR. H. L WALLER ROBBED. High-Handed Crime Committed not far From Durham. Durham, Feb. 8. One of the bold est highway robberies ever commit ted in the county took place about 2 miles from Durham this morning between the hour of 9 and 10 o'clock. Two unkown negroes heldup and robbed Mr. 11. L. Waller, wellto-do farmer of Grnnvilleeounty, of a little more than two hundred and fifty dol lars. Miv Waller was on his way here and had the money in his pocket to pay off a note held by a Durham' gentleman. He was driving along not thinking of danger when two negro men stepped from the side of the road. One stopped the horse and the other went to the side of the buggy and said: "Give us your money or your life." Mr. Waller replied that he had no money, when the man re plied that he was a liar and cut at him. A long cut was made in his coat and overcoat, and but for the protec tion tvfforded by a small account book which he had on the inside of his coat pocket and in which was two hundred and fifty dollars in bills he would have been killed, as the blow was evidently intended for his hefirt. At the same time the other negro ran around the other side of the bug gy and pressed a pistol to his head. Mr. Waller was quickly jerked from his buggy aud it was at the stage of the fight wiien he told them to take his money but save his life. In a very short while the money was in the possesion of the negroes and they stepped Into the woods and were gone. The victim came on to Durham and the matter was immediately reported to the officers. Snerin Markham and a posse have been after the prisoners all the afternoon, but this time the3 have not been captured. The indig nation on account of the robbery is very great, and while our people are law-abiding the men would uot fare very well if caught. The negroes are described as fol lows: The one who did the cutting- was a ginger cake colored negro, about 5 feet 5 or 0 inches in height and weighs about 150 pounds. The other was very tall, coal black negro somewhere in the neighborhood of 0 feet high and weighs about 180 lbs.

Louisburg.' N. C, Feb. 11. There has been a good deal of excitement here over the finding of the dead body of a negro woman la st Saturday nigLt in Hughes' stemmery. It seems that on Saturday night a colored man named Nelson Ham was running the engine there, and, as he saj-s, at about 11 o'clock the woman, Mary Hill, came there and asked to go into the stemmery. At about 3 o'clock that night Ham reported tha t he had found her dead body at the bottom of the elevator. Her head was badry crush ed and she had appearently been dead for two or three hours when this alarm was given. The coroner sum moned a jury and has been holding an inquest since that time and the jury is still in session. The general Impression Is that the woman was killed by a blow on the head and that the placing of the body at the elevator was simply for the purpose of allaying suspicion as to the real cause of death.
