A Large Crowd Assembled at Oxford Or phan Asylum. Oxford was full to overflowing on last Tuesday, the occasion being St. John's Day celebration which is held annually here on the 24th day of June. The day this year was indeed a gala day forOxford.For some time during the day a very light rain fell, but it was not enough to lend discomfort to the occasion, except that the speaking had to be in the Chapel in stead of on the platform prepared for the occassion. The crowd wTas estimated at from four to five thou sand. There are several things for which St. John's Day is noted as well as for the very interesting exercises by the orphans and the fine addresses. One Is the lemonade venders, who are usually busy and have lots of fun as well as make iots of nickel&. We are sorry the weather was so cool Tues day as to injure their trade, Still by extra oratorical efforts they manag ed to do a fair business. Perhaps for our young people from the country the most interesting feat ure of the day is the mingling to gether of the fair maidens and young gallants. The shades beneath the massive oaks mights aptly be styled the "lovers retreats." The gleeful talk and Imppy smiles tell the tale of what is going on among the young people. We are glad to see them en joy themselves and always gladly welcome them to Oxford. "Y'oung America" is also in evidence on St, John's Day. The bright little giris, with their happy companions, but especially the much-talked-oi "sinail boy" is also on hand with the mixture of pleasure and terror he brings to those around. He can be seen in every place from the topmost window in the 4th story to the foot of the rostrum. But to come to the exercises of the day. After the assembling of the Masans in the Masonic Hall aud the transaction of the routine business the exercises were commenced in the Chapel. Several beautiful selections were rendered by the Orphans, includ ing "Nearer My God to Thee," aud "The Old North State." The ad dress of welcome was delivered by A. A. Hicks, Esq., of Oxford. Mr. Hicks made a brief but appropriate and telling speech. He spoke of the founding of the school Jind subse quently of the Asylum and of the name being in memory of St. John, who was the the forerunner of Christ and of the other St. John the Divine who was the disciple who leaned on Jesus breast and whom Jesus loved. Hespokeofthe value of the day in general how much of pleasure and profit it brought to the people, and especially to the young people. He said that the old Olympic games of Greece were not appreciated and sought after more than the pleasures of social intercourse and friendly greetings among the young people on St. John Day. He also spoke feelingly of the great work which was being done for the needy children of the State. The ad dress of welcome was responded to by Mr. F. N. Hackett, of YVilkesboro, in a short but apt speech. The main speaker of the occasion, Hon. Matt W. Ransom, was intro duced by Gen. B. S. Royster, in a ringing speech which brougnt forth rapturous applause. Gen. Royster began by saying that the distinguish ed speaker he was called upon to in droduce needed no iudroduction to the people of North Carolina. He spoke briefly of the distinguish ed career of Gen. Ransom, of the highest honors of the State being given him, of his brilliant record in war and in peace. In closing he im pressively alluded to him as, "indeed, the noblest Roman of them all." Gen. Ransom arose to speak amid loud applause. He spoke slowly and deliberality and with less fire than he usually speaks,but made an excellent speech. Though in manner and tone he showed somewhat the weight of years upon him, being now about 70 years old, yet he spoke with clearness and with enthusiasm at times. Gen. Ransom is nothing if not ornate and polished, and his speech Tuesday was no exception. It was well suited to the occasion and was frequently applauded, He commenced by saying that he appreciated the invitation to speak on the occosion more than he could tell and said that to speak on such an occasion and on such a work as that at the Asylum always affected him deeply, He spoke of the work of caring for and educating helpless children and making useful citizens of them as being the greatest work in which men could be engaged. "I rejoice," said the speaker, "at the great work which our governor is doing in Nosth Carolina for educa tion, but this work, great as it is, is not so Important as the work being done at the Asylum, Me spoke of the work as one which was the product of our own constitutional form of government. "This work of pure love and charity is no where to be found in the civilization of the past. It is the product of our own times and comes from Christianity and our form of government," Gen. Ransom spoke feelingly of this being, perhaps, the last opportunity he would ever have of speaking in Oxford. He touchingly alluded to his old friendships here. He spoke of Oxford's noble past, her culture, her schools, her great men, and her able bar. In the past he mentioned, Judge Gilliam, Capt. Williams, Dr, Taylor, Mr. Lanier and others. In closing he urged the people to be patriotic and loyal to the "old flag." He told them to forget sec tionalism and to rejoice that our State was a part of this great coun try. As the venerable statesman sat down he was greeted with a storm of applause. Altogether the day was a great success. There was no disturbance that we heard of and good behavior generally prevaded, all going home happy and well pleased with the re sult of the day. PRIMARIES MEET.

No True Democrat Can Vote for Truer or Abler Man for Judge than George H. Brown. There has been much talk all along about Judge Walter Clark being fear less and untrolled by the trusts and railroads. All this is true, and as our friends know we have been leading in this claim for that eminent juristand statesman. But we would also em phasize the fact that there is another jurist who is equally as fearless and incorruptiole as Judge Clark and that man is Hon. George H. Brown. He has shown on more occasion than one, but particularly on one occasion that he was for the right and for up holding the honor of the courts. He had the nerve and the manliness to punish a railroad agent who dared to tamper with the sanctity of the courts. There is no man, on the bench or elsewhere, more incorrupt able than Geo. H, Brown. As to his. ability that is every where recognized. In our opinion, and we believe in the opinion of a majority of the people, Judge Brown is the peer of any Jurist in the State. He is easily the strongest man In the field for Associate Justice in any section of the State. We need such a man on the Supreme Court bench of the Statj. He is pure, capable and fearless. He is no straddler but hews to the line. He would adorn the bench and should not be denied this honor. Let him be nominated ! We are glad to say that, ih our opinion, most of our people from Granville are strong Brown men and predict his nomination. So might it be. r Tax Payers of Granville. Equalization of Yalues.
