Our valued friend and brother J T. Britt, editor of the Oxford Public Ledger, has declared himself a candi date for Clerk of the Stiperior Court in Granville county. This, according to "the eternal fitness of things" should mean his nomination. No more deserving, worthy and honor able an occupant can be found for this responsible office; and we wish Brother Britt the success that his claims to the office entitle him to. Durham Thrift. A North Missouri editor given to verse writing tells of a sad acciuent alleged to have happened in his town, thus: Johnnie had a little mule, Its hoofs were hard as rock. He used to hitch the donkey up and drive him 'round the block. One day the little mule he stopped and wouldn't move a shoe, so Johnnie got his pocket knife and stuck him just a few. Now when that donkey felt the knife he moved himself, you bet, and Johnnie, well, he also moved; they haven't found him yet. A Delihtfnl Lawn Party. On Tuesday night Miss Hettie Lyon gave a delightful lawn party In honor of her voung lady visitors, Misses Lela and Sue Reade, of Mt. Tirzah, Miss Nelle Powell, of Mt.

Granville, as Clerk of the Superior Court Dr, Hunt the present popular and very efficient Clerk, declining a renomina tion. Nothing more than a hint that he would accept this office should be necessary from Bro. Britt.

Greensboro, July 17 Special. Greensboro is full of enthusastic Democrats, more than 3,000 strong and every body working for their fa vorite candidate. The Convention met in the new Cit3r Hall, and was called to order by Chairman Simmons who made a telling and enthusisastic speech. The number of votes in the Convention Is 1,244, and Walter Clark was nominated for Chief Justice amid a burst of applause, which proved that the Southern Railroad had cap- the Democratic party. The followingcandidates werenom- nated: Judge Connor defeated Judge Brown by 5 votes. Piatt Walker also nominated for Associate Justice. E. C. Beddiugneld nominated for Cor poration Commissioner. J . Y J oyner nominated for Superintendent of Pub lie Instruction. Only 28 votes against Judge Clark. Convention adjourned at 4 a. m. CONGRESSION.V I. CONVENTION. At the Congi-essional Convention Tuesday night the peerless W. W, Kitchin was renominated for Con gress amid prolonged applause. His speech of acceptance was a fineeffort, and no district in the State or the country has a more honorable or faithful Representative than Bill Kitchin. Three cheers for Kitchin ! JUDICIAL CONVENTION'. The Judicial Convention made short work of renominating Solicitor A. L. Brooks, who certainly fills the bill in every respect, . and has made a splendid record during the past four years it was so good that he had no opposition. The Granville delegation Is all right and is by no means behind any other delegation in brains and looks. THE OXFORD TOBACCO MARKET. Up-to-date Warehousemen, Liberal Buyers, Plenty of Money and Highest Averages, The Public Ledger is for building up Oxford first last and all the time even if some are so close fisted that they will not accord us their patron age and prefer to send it out of town, because we cannot compete with the "cheap johns," who never contribute anything r help build up Oxford While It is discouraging to us we are true to the grand old town still and wish her God speed, and will use our best energies to build it up along all lines. As the tobacco season approaches the prospect seems bright for large sales in Oxford this season. Our en terprising and highly successful ware housemen feel confident that they will be able to please their patrons. The outlook at present seems to in dicate that there will bemuch more to bacco marketed here this season than there was last. There is every reason why Oxford will control an Increased trade in the golden weed this season. Her ware housemen are up-to-date and are ever on the lookout for the best interests of the farmers. Every farmer who brings his tobacco to Oxford can rest assured that he will obtain the very highest market price. The buyers on our market are among the most liberal and honorable in the State, and there are always enough to make bidding lively and the prices high. There is every reason why Oxford will remain one of the leading mar kets in the State. The town has the best warehousemen, the best buyers and It also has every facility for the handling of tobacco. We have two strong accommodat ing banks, Bank of Granville and First National Bank, which is the greatest convenience, as well as a necessity for every good tobacco market. And Oxford has an enviable record as a market in the past for the highest averages and liberality of its buyers. Last year the sales on our market were greatly increased. Oxford last season succeeded in in vading the territory of other towns and from the favorable reports we have heard we are confident that this market will hold the extra trade it gained last year and will make further inroads Into the territory of the neighboring markets. Our record for years is such a one as will Insure to us a large trade in the future. The market here has al ways given high averages. Unlike some other towns, Oxford never makes special bids on a few lots In order to draw trade, but the market always gives the highest possible average, as our fine set of buyers al ways hold large orders that must be filled. In other wrords, every pile of tobacco sold in Oxford is ure to bring the highest possible price. The farmers have found this out, and hence the largely Increased sales. To our farmers we would say bring your tobacco to Oxford ! We have a market second to none other. We also havea8 clever a set of merchants and nice goods as are to be found anywhere. Come along writh your tobacco to Oxford when you get it ready and go away happy ! ggyPIng Pong candy at Wallace White's. Subscribe to the Public Ledger. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. Pension Board and Business Transacted by County Commissioner. The Board of Commissioners met on Monday July 7th with all the members present. The following members of the Pension Board of the county were present and met with the Board: Dr. S. D. Booth, Dr. J. G. Hunt, J. R. Buchanan, M.Blalock. B. I, Breedlove, Geo. B. Daniel and Sheriff Fleming and passed upon the applications for pensions. The Board of Commissioners met afterwards and transacted regular business. The Register of Deeds was instruct ed to list at single rate any taxes that may be presented for listing at the cost of 23 cents, the time of listing to expire Oct. 15th. A new road re quested to be opened from J. M. Cur- rin's to a place on Providence road near the Clay place. A large number of rebates were al lowed, and as the old mill has been repaired it worked like a charm. $100 appropriation was made to the Granville Grays. Licenses were granted R. Brough ton, J. T. Wiley, R. Y. Person and Ellis & Co., to retail liquor fort! months ending January 1st. Messrs. E. C. Harris and N. B. Daniel request ed that their names be recorded as voting against granting licenses. Robt. Kinton was granted a speeial allowance of $3. India Oakley was put on the out side pauper list at $1 per month pay able to Z. W. Allen. Mr. Sam J. Currin was elected coro ner of the county in place of A. Hob good, deceased. It was ordered that the proposed road from C. A. Strothers by R. S. Jenkins, James Dement Into the public road near Alfonzo Mitchell in Brassfield township be granted pro vided it cost the county nothing. After allowing a number of claims against the county the Board ad journed to meet on Monday the 14th The Board of Commissioners met in session on this date in accordance with law for the purpose of equaliz ing taxes, but as the Board had made such wise appointments of list takers throughout the county there was but little complaint from taxj payers. THE SPIRIT OF A NEW DAY. Change in the Attitude of the Press of the State. Two or three weeks ago we set out to write an editorial which began as follows: "The spirit of the new day in North Carolina calls imperatively for a change in the attitude of the press of the State. For thirty years the ne gro problem has harassed us; politi cal feeling lias run high, and the par ty spirit has dominated our news paper offices. A change has come The people are using a new wine and they cannot keep It in old bottles." There was no feature of the Press Convention more gratifying to us than the general recognition of this truth. Mr, Dowd spoke of it in his opening address; Mr. Hoey empha sized it in his admirable oration; Mr Law, we believe, referred to It in the Historian's paper; President Mar shall made it the keynote of his speech of acceptance. From the days of re construction until now the North Carolina editor has regarded his mission as a political one. With changed conditions, it becomes his dutjr to make the development of the State's resources its manhood, not less than its fields, forests and fac tories paramount to party consider ations. This is to be the spirit of the people in the new era into which we have entered, and the newspaper that would survive and liourish must get itself into harmony with this spirit. Just now, in this transition period, when only the thoughtful see the new drift of things and the people themselves are hardly aware of their own inclinations, such a paper may find itself somewhat in advance of Its constituency. But the people will go to it; they are moving In that direc tion, and not many years hence the papers that lead are to be honored as pioneers. And the State's greatest resource is its 700,000 schoolboys and school girls. The press of the State realizes this, and no class of people is doing more than the editors to hold up the hands of Governor Aycockand other leaders of the educational crusade. The enthusiasm which the Conven tion displayed for the cause of our public schools was good to see. Progressive Farmer. Try a glass of Lowuey's delicious Chocolae Soda at Jackson's.

We Make Them. A Alassachusetts business firm prints this paragraph at the top of its letter head: "Errors we make them; so does every one. We will cheerfully correct them if yon will write to us. Try to write good na- turedlyifyou can, but write to us anyway. Do not complain to some one else first or let the matter pass, We want first opportunity to make right any Injustice we may do." The ittle sermon deserves a wide au dience. Few people that have not had occasion at some time In their ives to regret the sending of a harsh or hasty note of complaint. It may be necessary to assert one's rights in subsequent letters, but there Is no better rule of correspondence than to make the first one good natured. Youth's Companion. The Best in the Cheapest.
