President Hobgood is enlarging the capacity of the Oxford Seminary as the school is in a flourishing con dition. This is as It should be, as it one of the best conducted female schools in the State. The Democrats have done some thing for the public schools and the education of the children in the State.

The People will Decide the "Road Bond" Question at the Polls. It. wont do for the Republicansand so-called Independents to try to make an issue of the "Road Bond" ques tion. The Democratic Convention rightly passed a resolution to hold a primary on that question on the day of the general election. A ballot box will be prepared and all who are in favor of working the roads by issu ing bonds will vote "Bonds", and those who are opposed to it will vote "No Bonds."

The work of the Graded School be gan three weeks ago with an attend ance of lt)0 pupils. The enrollment at the end of the third week was 212. Though weyet labor under many dif ficulties the machinery of the school is in fairly good running order. The classes are now organized and the work of the year begun in real ear nest. To the boys and girls who are not making use of this opportunity to acquire an education, and to the parents of such children permit me to suggest to you the necessity of at tendance at the school and of start ing at the beginning of the session. t he time has now come in this country when no one who has not at least a common school education can take his place among his fellows and dolus best work in the world. Re cognizing this fact the people oi Ox ford have made provisions for the ed ucation of every boy and srirl within the limits of the town. They have recognized, as indeed the people of the State are recognizing, that it is the duty of a Republican government, as an act of self preservation, to es tablish and maintain asystem oi free public schools that the people of the State shall be taxed to educate the children of the State. These propo sitions, simple as they seem to us to day, have come to be universally ac cepted only after two and a half cen turies of struggle and experiment. But it is plain to us now that so long as our people are educated able to think and act for themselves we need have no fear of the demagogue, the wily politician or the prophet of evil. No pessimist today can convince the American people that vice, crime, idleness, poverty and social discon tent are the results of free public schools. On the other hand wethor oughly believe that it is only by the education of all the people that we can permanently maintain our free institutions. We must educate all children within our reach. The public schools are worth much more than they cost. Their value cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, for they make intelligent the great mass of voters whose w ill, ex pressed at the ballot box, makes or unmakes constitutions, and enacts laws that make or mar the common weal. I n the intelligence of the whole people rests the safety of our liber ties, of our property, and of our lives The public school system is a thor oughly established Institution in our country- Fortunately for us our own State of North Carolina has entered with increased zeal and activity into this matter and all oyer the State, city, town, village, hamlet and rural district unite their forces for better facilities for the education of their children. The people of Oxford should feel proud that they are among the van guard in this march of progress. This opportunity having been given we would urge upon every jmpil the ne cessity ot regular attendance, and on every parent the duty of sending his child to school. Children always wrong themselves when they tall to seize every opportunity to educate themselves; and every parent wrongs his child if he tails to send lam to school when it is possible to do so. To the parents in the town of Ox ford therefore, who are not patrons of the school permit me again to ask vou if possinle send us your children Our rooms are not yet crowded, and should thev become so we shall lie glad to make ample provision for al who come. We have an eliicientcorps of earnest and thoughtful teachers who will do everything in their power for the comfort, advancement, am well-being of your children. My own purpose and only purpose shall be to make the Oxford Graded School suitable institution forthe moral and intellectual development of those who are given to our charge. Very respectfully yours, SAM'L 11. HODGIN Small Attendance-Run by Republicans Ticket Nominated. What is termed the "Independents" met in the Court House Saturday at 12 o'clock with quite a small attend ance. As near as we could judge be tween ;$o and 40 participated In the meeting. There was a large number of Democrats present to witness the proceedings. The convention was run by the Re publicans as will be seen by the names of those who took an active part in the proceedings. On motion Mr. J. H. Gooch, mer chant and postmaster at Stem, was called to the chair, and Mr. R. H. Rogers, a Republican of Creedmoor, was requested to act as Secretary. m motion of Dr. L. C. Taylor, a true and tried Republican, nomina tions for the repective ollices were gone into. Mr. lien Thorp nominated Sheriff Sam Fleniinir. which was seconded y Dr. Taylor. Mr. G. T Walters arose and said Fleming would not accept. Mr, Thorp replied by saying, Flem- ngtold him that he would accept the nomination.

Tjvon nominated Mr. R. S. Jenkins for Clerk, and Mr. Ben Thorp nominated Captain Thos D. Clement. Mr. Pete Thorp arose and said it was well to know whether Capt Clement would accept or not, and be was appointed a committee to wait on him and find out if he would accept. In a few minutes he returned and informed the conven Capt Clement declined. Mr. Louis Wilkins at this iuueture said he was glad to see the time come when the ollice seeks the man and not the man the ollice. Mr. Ben Thorp, the man of twocou- ventions, then arose and nominated Mr. W. H. Gregory for Clerk, which was seconded by Mr. Jim Cozart, a Republican, and Mr. Gregory received the nomination by a rising vote of twenty. Mr. J. W. Davis, a Republican, nom inated Mr. Luther Carrington for Register of Deeds, and Mr. Wiu. H Lyon, Populist, nominated Mr. R. 11 Rogers. Chairman Gooch said all in favor of the nomination of Carring ton say aye, and he was nominated Then Mr. Roger's name was with drawn. Mr. Jim Cozart nominated Coroner Sam Currin for Coroner, and received the nomination. Dr. Taylor next nominated S. C Hobgood for Treasurer, which was carried. Mr. lien Thorp then rose up and nominated Mr. J. II. Gooch for the Legislature. Mr. Gooch then called Mr. E. E. Lyon to the chair and with a great deal of modesty (?) asked the convention to nominate some one else. The convention refused and he accepted, and resumed the chair Mr. Jim Cozart was on his feet again and nominated Mr. N. H. Flem mg, know as "Dutch", for Senator which was carried and frieud Flem ing smiled. Chairman Billy Brown, of the Re publican ExeeutiveCominittee.inoved that a committee be appointed by the chair to supply vacancies if any of the nominees declined. Mr. W. H. Lyon amended the motion by nam ing one from each townsphip, which Lwas accepted and adopted. ( apt Alex Peace moved that the chairman take time to appoint said committee.

WHITt MEN WILL NOT DIVIDE. There should be no doubt as to what white men will do in this elec tion. The Republicans say you can divide because you have eliminated the negro, but who eliminated the negro? Was it not the white man hood of the State, by standingshoul- der to shoulder as one man? as it the Republican party? No. There fore the way to keep the negro elim inated is for the white men of the State to continue to stand together. Do not listen, my friends, to the siren song of the tempter that has been re sponsible for our ills In the past, but listen to your friends the great heart of the Democratic people. In my county, Halifax, before the adoption of the Amendment, if all the white men voted together there would still be a majority of 1,200 ne groes, but under t he Amend ment only 1,000 can vote. J)o you mean to tell me that if the Republicans had con trol of our elections they would not vote all these negroes? Certaiuly they would. Let the white men di vide and that lets the negro in, and you know for whom he will vote. He don't know how to vote any but the Republican ticket. Mr. Pritchard declares in his plat form that the Amend ment forces the negro out of the realm of politics. Why did he not say we accept the Amendment iu good faith. His Committee on resolutions wanted to say so, but he appeared and made them say it has passed out of the realm of politics, and he means by this that the Supreme Court will be asked to amend it so he can vote the 120,000 negroes at the next election and elect Linney, Blackburn, and the other Republican Congressman, be sides capturing the Legislature and return him to the Senate. Thev say they have kicked the ne-e-rn out. but if 'that is true, then the Republican party has lost every semb- Tiit or eratitune. i lauue uiu-uni at Wilson. a--A man is known by his letters. and it is important the letter you send off be written on good paper which makes the letter a credit.

Remember that I do not employany drummers, therefore giving to the farmer every dollar that I would otlierwise pay to the drummers. The outlook is for tobacco to sell high the com ing season and I am prepared to handle all grades to the very best advantage. I want to thank one and all for their liberal patronage in the past, and ask a continuance of the same, with the promise that every pile shall bring full market price. Very truly yours Z. W. LYON.
