Talk about gall and cheek of a

Judge Clark is peculiarly fortu
nate in having the open opposition
of Maj. Jimmle Wilson and Henry A.
Page. Now if Kilgo, Jurney.Oglesby
and S'Otho will write a pamphlet
against him, there is no telling what
heights his popularity will reach.
Webster's Weekly.
The closing exercises of the term
of the Graded School will take place
at the Opera House on the evening
of the 9th Inst, when an address will
be delivered by the gifted Prof. J. Y.
Joyner, Superintendent of Public In
structions, and will no doubt be
largely attended.
MAJOR WILSON DEMOLISHED.
Something has "drapped" at Ral
eigh and it is a bomb-shell in the
camp of the "Independent-Railroad-Commercial
Democrats, socalled, but
in reality the enkmy of the Demo
cratic party.
Mr. W. P. Batchelor, of Raleigh,re
plles to Major J. W. Wilson's charges
and completely answers and refutes
every charge which was made
against the distinguished Judge
Walter Clark. He shows that the
whole plan was concocted by a gang
of eorporatlonists and that Major
Wilson was just selected as a mouth
piece. This is what we felt sure of
before hand.
To us, and we believe to the other
real Democrats who wish to know
the truth and are not blinded by
railroad or trust interests, the an
swer is conclusive. He shows that
Judge Clark has alwrays been a true
Democrat and that his political re
cord is clear. He also shows that
there were many mistatements of
fact in Maior Wilson's letter. The
railroad attorneys will have to "go
and come again."

LET US HAVE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Taxpayers are in Favor of it, and We
Urgethat They be Put in.
At the next meeting of our Town
Commissioners to be held the second
night In May the question of provid
ing the town with Electric Lights
will come up. We trust they will
take some action which will give us
the lights. As we have before said
we do not know just what plan is
wisest, but we do know that the
town should have the lights. Because
we cannot get the lights In the way
we expected or on the terms we had
hoped let this be no excuse not tohave
them or to even longer defer getting
them. Let nothing be done to hin
der the progress the town Is making.
A failure to secure Electric Lights
certainly would be a back-step for
Oxford. The taxpayers want them
and their wishes should be considered.
For a long time it was said no
other expenses could be Incurred un
til we were freed from the Oxford &
Coast Line bonds, but now that aw
ful"nightmare"has vanished and the
town can certainly undertake sub
stantial improvements.
In order to be progressive we can
not afford to be "hide bound" nor
penny-wise and pound foolish as it
will work against the interests of the
town.
Got a Ducking.
Our old friend, H. Suit, of Berea,
is not as young as he use to be. He
concluded Friday that he was one of
the boys and went out on Cub creek
mill pond in a boat to catch some
fish. He had not been out long be
fore he lost his balance and over in
the water he wrent, demonstrating
the fact that he is more of a Baptist
than a Methodist.
Wonder if it is True.
The Public Ledger would like to
know if it is true that the man who
has been most active in getting up
the attack on Judge Clark and simply
signed by Major J. W.Wilson carried
around a petition to get the mem
bers of the bar to sign, asking Got.
Russell to appoint himself Chief Jus
tice upon the death of Judge Fair
cloth ? Of course he is a corporation
attorney.
What is the Difference ?
Rumor has it that considerable
money changed hands last week on
the different ball games In Oxford,
the Horner teain coming out victori
ous at last. Betting on a ball game
is no worse than putting up money
on cotton futures which is simply
betting on the future price of cotton
while the cotton broker holds the
stakes. In baseball It is speculation
in the future use of skill and muscle.

The Place to Get Your Spring Outfit.
We want the old men, middle-
aged men. young men and boys to
read the change In the advertisment
of Messrs. Landis & Easton on the
4th page. They address themselves
this time to the men and boys, and
desire to furnish them with all the
latest fads in clothing, shoes, hats,
and furnishings of all kinds and style
at prices that will make you buy.
Call and see the clever Mr. Shelor,
who will save you money on a new
outfit.
Bridge Needs Repairing.
We learn the bridge across Little
Grassy Creek, two miles west of Sto
vall on the Oak Hill road, is badly in
need of repairs and hope our Com
missioners will look after it. It has
been in an impassable condition for
nrobablv 18 months. The cost of re-
pairing this bridge probably would
not exceed $ 100 and 20 for the abut
ments. The stream Is often too deep
to cross with safety as at the ford
the water is rapid, deep and danger
ous.
Will Improve the Telephone System
Mr. F. C. Toepleman, the efficient
Superintendent of the Henderson Tel
enhone Comnanv. with a force of
hands arrived in Oxford Tuesday and
will proceed to put our Phone system
in first-class condition. The latest
Improved switchboard and new ca
bles, wires and poles will be put in at
considerable cost, as the Company
desires to furnish their Oxford pat
rons with the very best service. It
will require 3 or 4 weeks to complete
the improvements,, which will be
greatly appreciated by our citizens

TWO SHOOTING AFFAIRS.
Mr. William Estes and a Negro Man Shot
in Brassfield Township,
Two more shooting affairs are put
down to the credit of Brassfield
township, and so far as we can learn
the following are the particular of
both of the difficulties:
On Thursday last Mr. Wm. Estes
and a negro tenent by the name of
Luther Catlet become involved In a
quarrel about the crop, and after a
war of words Catlet walk away. In
a short time he returned along the
road In about 10 feet of where Mr.
Estes was at wrork with gun in hand
and renewed the quarrel. After the
exchange of a few words the negro
raised his gunand shot Mr.Estes in the
front part of thigh inflicting a terrible
wound, and fears are entertained for
his recovery. Catlet immediately de
parted for parts unknown and has
not yet been captured. As soon as
his neighbors heard of the shooting
they got together and made every ef
fort to locate Catlet.and if they had it
would not have been well with him,
as the people were wrought up over
the shooting.
The second shooting occurred Fri
day at home of Squire J. D. Davis,
near Grissom. It was brought about
by one of Mr. Davis' sons directing
a negro man, who worked on the
place, to perform some duty. He
refused and at the same time threat
ened young Davis, who ordered him
to leave the yard. The negro refused
and made for Davis, who jumped in
the porch, seized his gun and shot
the negro in one of his legs. It is said
that the wound is not very serious.
Of Deep Interest to Farmers.
Every farmer now has the oppor
tunity to protect his growing crop
by insurance against hail. In an
other column appears the advertise
ment of the Park Region Mutual Hail
Insurance Association.- This Com
pany insures against loss by hail and
has proven of great advantage to
the farmers of the West. It was or
ganized in 1894 and has paid every
cent of losses Its policy holders have
ever sustained. Its terms are liberal
and It will, no doubt, be liberally
patronized by tobacco, cotton and
grain farmers.
This Company is being represented
by our genial friend, Captain W. H.
White, who is well known in Gran
ville and much liked by our people.
He, in company with Mr. Peartree,
are now canvassing the county and
will do an excellent business.
May Cosmopolitan.
A series which should have been
named "The Enchantment of our
Modern Aladdins," if considered sole
ly from the point of view of romance,
is begun in the May Cosmopolitan.
But these sketches possess as well a
business interest equally for clerk and
capitalist, for manufacturer, farmer
and merchant. The man who would
understand the drift of our news in
finance and business must read these
lives, so full of incident, of chance, of
hard labor and marvelous success.
As it is, the series receives only the
common-place name of "Captains of
Industry." Each character is treated
by a noted writer familiar with his
subject.
Qf Interest to Our Colored People.
Industrial and Educational Con
ference will be held in Oxford in con
nection with the closing of Mary Pot
ter Memorial School at 11 o'clock
Saturday, May 10th,at Opera House.
Let every man who owns a farm
or home come prepared to speak, and
and every one who wants one come
ready to listen. This Conference is
for financial as well as our intellec
tual good. Every minister and school
teacher of the counfy is earnestly re
quested to be present. Rev. W. H.
Manchester, of Boston, Mass., will be
with us and address us. Come let us
reason together and find out how to
get homes and Bank accounts.
G. C SHAW.
Oh, How Long Will it Last?
One result of the short term of the
court was to send one negro man to
work on the public roads in Person
county. Why should convicts be
sent to Person and Durham counties
when they are so badly needed on the
terrible road in Granville ? Is is not
up to the County Commissioners to
say how much longer Granville con
victs shall help build Durham and
Person roads? This Is a very perti
nent question for our County Dads
considering the horrible condition of
Granville roads! If they intend to
take any steps this year to improve
them now is the time to do It. The
people of the county have proved
in a majority of instances that they
will not work the roads and not a
single overseer has been Indicted,
and we think the Commissioners will
be justified in issueing $20,000 worth
of bonds and have them worked any
how. It will have to be done by tax
ation if it is ever done.

Everybody's Magazine for May.
The May number of Everybody's
Magazine opens with a most interest
ing article by Dr. Henry Gannett on
"Famous American Mountains, "sup
erbly illustrated with photographs of
the notable peaks of the Rockies, the
Sierras and the Alaskan Range. Es
pecially timely is T. P. O'Connor's
estimate of Cecil Rhodes the "Napo
leon of Souch Africa," It is a skillful
character study, representing the cu
rious admixture of traits which make
Mr. Rhodes the great personally of
his period. Another valuable contrl
button is Dr. H. W. Wiley's "Man as
a Machine," in which the functions
of the human body are compared
with mechanical processes.

WANTS TO INVEST IN OXFORD.
Philadelphia Parties Otfer to Put $20,000
in Hotel if Oxford will Put $10,000.
Editor of Public Ledger. The un
dersigned is authorized to say that
some Philadelphia parties are con
templating a visit to Oxford, having
in view the establishment of a hotel.
If pleased with the location and suf
ficient encouragement is received from
our citizens a Company with $30,000
capital will be formed with shares at
a par value of one dollar each,$ 10,000
to be subscribed in Oxford.
We feel that this is an unusual op
portunity, both for securing a mod
ern and up-to-date hotel, which will
fill present needs and meet those aris
ing from future growth of the town,
and also be of great advantage in
bringing to the attention of many
visitors the attractive features and
resources of this section.
We trust that we may be able to
interest the above parties on their
arrival and stand ready to furnish
our proportion of the necessary cap
ital for the undertaking.
LOUIS DE LACROIX,
April 2Sth, 1902.
When the gentlemen referred to
above by Mr. de Lacrolx come to Ox
ford we hope they may receive every
encouragement from our people. No
town ever needed a good hotel more.
It would certainly mean a great deal
for Oxford's future.
We hope and believe when the gen
tlemen reach our town that they may
be pleased. We natter ourselves that
most people are who come within
our gates.
