Stradley when he says the ladles could do a great deal in forming a new society in re gard to young men drinking and smoking. In my boyhood days no young man would have thought of smoking in a parlor nor ride In a buggy with a lady and smoke, nor while under the influence of whiskey. Now it seems the young man that can smoke the most, drink the most, be the most boisterous and use the , most slang words Is the man while! in company. Yes, we think the la-' dies would do well to form a society to improve the young men's habits DUPREE. Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, In the allwise Providence of God, our beloved pupil, Mary Alice Beasley, has been called from her earthly home to her home in Heaven, therefore, resolved 1. That we, the members of Trinity Sabbath school, do sincerely lament the death of this lovely child who has been with us, a constant pupil, since her childish lips could lisp the name of Jesus. 2. That we bow in humble submis sion to Him who In His own good time will reveal to us why He thus bereaves us of this priceless jewel. 3. I hat we render to the stricken parents our kindest sympathy and pray that God will comfort them and help them to fully realize that this tender bud is only transplanted to heavenly soil to bloom in the sun light of the smile of God.

Deaib or an Infant ) On the morning of Dec. 9th, 1902, the death- angel visited the home of Mr, and Mrs. H. R. Matthews and claimed from them their darling little Lester, their only child, aged 1 year, it was hard to give him up, but the Lord knoweth best. He never knew what it was to sin and Is now doubtless numbered with thousands of other infants in glorv. Dear mother and father, the stay of Lester was only a few brief months and endeared himself to your hearts and it is for you to so Uveas to met him in the Kingdom of Heaven. FRIEND. gulbretb guliinas. Left out last week, ("hopping frolics are now fashion able. W. P. Currin, of Knap of Reeds, was in our section about a week ago on business Preachers are manifesting much concern in the whiskey Question which reminds one of priestcraft. Sol O'Briant spent a week with Ids father, J. L. O'Briant, and returned to his new business last Thursday. W. P. Slaughter, the new magis trate of Berea, ijets a trood deal of work to do marrying people, and a contemporary takes occasion to say, "he can marry others but himself he cannot marry." One of our noio-hbors whikj talking about bovs 1. aviug the farm and going to town to work tor wages said, "all can go that want to but a little 3-cent toiacco and a few nub bins always do my business." The trust has struck almost every thing except whiskey and the preach ers, doctors and leadit g church mem oers are trying to ionn a. trust n that. Wonder If this is any part of that beast that allow none to bit v or sell without his mark or the number of his name? L. J! Sad DeaiD. As we ha ve published the distress injr account or the aeatn or jvms Ethel Royster, we leave that portion out. Ed. I never was acquainted with Miss Ethel until just before Christmas She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Royster. Miss Ethel was a beautiful and anectlouate. young- lady, age nineteen the 2."th of April, 1903. She was an excellent school teacher. All that time she was teaching a public school in the sixth district of Granville county. Our parents were highly pleased to have such a teacher to train their children Miss Ethel was a God loving and God serving girl, a member of Oxford Baptist church. Before retiring at night, no matter how tired and worn out she was, she would always take her Bible and read a passage ol scripture and then krifel down beside her bed and return thanks to God for his goodness and guidance; the 2nd chapter of first CorinthlaiiH was the lost chapter she read in her room. Her choice song was "Abide With Me." The Lord sent his angel In time of weakness and plea and took her Into his fold to abide with him. It is said there is a work that each must do. She has done her's. Our dear sister and brother that came so near drowning, but were spared were left here to complete their work. May the Lord help them. No doubt but by our sister being cut off in the prime of life, just as you would pluck a budded rose, will be the saving of many who never stop ped to realize their dependent con dition. All who knew Miss Ethel mourn her loss. She was so loving and kind always ready to help any one in need. We extend our deepest sympathy to her bereaved people. But we must remember, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh." D. gbase City bat. Mr. G. E. Wilson visited here the past week. Mrs. R. T. Newman left last week to visit friends near Stovall. Misses C.

Clay has been sick for some time, but am glad to say that she is now better. Miss Josie Wilson and Mrs. Ida Wilson visited the home of Mrs. Chas. Wilson Saturday night and Sunday. We are very glad to say that Mr. M. A. Meachin, who has been very sick for some time, is now improving very fast. PAPA'S PET. Clay Comments. Left out last week. Capt. B. W. Gooch was In town last Saturday and Sunday visiting his many friends. The Seaboard Railroad Co. has re cently ornamented the daily local mail train that passes by here with a new passenger coach. It is very attractive. Mr. R. W. Boyd, who has been working the Improved Singer Sew ing Machine for all It is worth, re turned a few days ago from a several days' trip with favorable results. We regret to learn of the drowning of Miss Ethel Royster. We hope this will prove a warning in the future Never risk the great powers of water streams when they are overflowing The supervisors of the public roads were slated to meet here last Satur day, but owing to the Inclemency of the weather there was not a quo rum and consequently there was no business transacted. Tney adjourn ed to meet again in about t wo weeks. Messrs. (J. O. and A. I). Pitts were in tienaerson last Saturday on dusi- ness. Mr. E. D. Farmer, of Augusta, Ga., passed over the Seaboard last Thurs day en route for Henderson. Mrs. Geo. O. Pitts and Miss Lena Grlssom spent last Saturday and Sunday with their home people near Klttrell. Mr. F. L. Pitts, a successful and prosperous young tobacco farmer of near Enfield, was in our community a few days last week. We are glad to learn that Mrs. W. C. Pittard, who has been quite ill for some time, is fast improving. We wish her a speedy recovery. Mr. C. K Hester says he antici pates a gala trip from Clay to Ox ford, over the new railroad trom Dickerson leading to the county's capital, when completed. Some of the charming young iadi- of Clav have been trving their luck horseback riding. Last Thursday afternoon one slipped from the sad dle and her petite foot went into the mud, but as luck would have it sh' smiled and said I am not hurt. During the past week we had som beautiful warm days, whieh remind us and the frogs ami th sweet- throated little birds with ad theli musical songs that another spring with all its beauties and lovely scen ery is fast approaching. We can re joice with them but let us not lorget to sincerely thank the Great 1 Am for protecting and sparing our lives almost throufirh another somewhat disagreeable winter. The young people of this and ad joining sections make it a rule to meet at the hospitable home of Messrs. C. K. and C. P.

Waller, made with the Public school at this place. Mr. J. H. Roberts, who left here about two weeks ago for Havana, Cuba, has arrived at that place amd he writes that It is a line country and that he likes the situa tion splendid. We were sorry to lose Mr. Roberts from this communi ty but we wish him well in his new home. The public school here closed last Friday after a pleasant and success ful term of four months. Wish that it could have been longer. The num ber of students enrolled were SI, the average attendance being sixty three. The "Britt" prize for the best attendance was awarded among the following students: Logan Hall, Clifton Roberts. Carter Roberts, Charles J. Roberts, Jr., Roy Waller, Hattle Waller, and Alice Veazey. Elma Tilley also was awarded a prize for the 2nd in attendance, she being absent only day. The private school will continue ou for abont 10 weeks longer. We hope that the parents will continue to send their childen on and lets make this sur pass the last one.

He is one of the brain est, strongest and most influential men we have in our borders. He wants "Esse Quani Videri" and with this as his motto he is pushing on ward, and he will conquer. As the readers of the Public Ledger already know that hs is leader of Anti-Saloon League and is manageing the cam paign for Temperance with unusual dignity and ability; with him as our leader we will some day get the London Liquor Bill passed for our State or a bill that will cover the same grouud. We may fail at this session of the Legislature, but we will get It. The people of the State have so declared it. Mr. Bailey says that if this Legislature fails to give us Temperance Legislation we will elect one that will. LITTLE LAMB. LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY. There was discussion of the bill to give to fourth-class pensioners $40 in stead of .f 'JO annually if they do not own over $250 worth of property. Senator London opposed the bill, Wei bourn asked London if pensions were a charity or debt. London said they were a debt. London asked Welbourn if he would vote for the $400,000 bond issue asked for, Wel bourn replied he would vote the four million dollar bond issue to pension ex-Confederate soldiers. London, who is chairman of the senate pen sion committee Kafd it nad prepared a bill improving the pension law. The bill to abolish the board of ex aminers of state institutions passed second read in sr. Glenn favored the bill. He said the report of the board was thoroughly unjust and unfair to at least one state institution. He thought that taking the authority to viiit the state Institutions from the legislature was a great reflection on the legislature: that he could not endorse the work of examiners which cost $2,000 and accomplished noth ing. The house judiciary committee de voted three hours to a discussion of the bill to amend the code in regard to divorce and they decided by a vote of 13 to report favorably the following bill, which is drawn as a substitute for all offered: "Section 1. That section one thou sand, two hundred and eighty-five of the code be amended as follows: And after last subdivision of said section the following subdivision: If hus band shall willfully and without cause abandon wife and live separate and apart from her two years, the wife shall be entitled to divorce from OLD Has been used on reventeen consecutive crops.

F.S the bonds of matrimony, but;the hus band shall not remarry within five years from the day of rendering of the final judgment in the action for divorce, and if the wife shall wilfully and without cause abandon her hus band and live separate and apart from him for two years, the hus band shall be entitled to divorce from the bonds of matrimony but the wife in such case, shall not re marry within five years from the date of rendering of linal judgment in action for divorce. Provided: That in all actions for divorce upon grounds above mentioned, it shall be alleged and proven upon trial that complaint had been a bona fide resi dent of the state of North Carolina for live years next preceeding the commencement of action; and pro vided further that after jury may have found the Issue or issues In favor of plaintiff it shall be the duty of the judge presiding at the trial to care fully inquire into the facts and cir cumstances of the particular case, and if he shall be of the opinion that the divorce for any cause should not be granted, he may In the exercise of his discretion, decline to grant di vorce and set aside verdict: Provided further that this act shall not apply to cases where abandonment and separation occurs after first day of January 1003. Section 2 That all laws and clauses of laws In conflict with provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Section 3. That this act shall be la force from and after its ratifica tion." The following bill is to be Introduc ed in the Legislature: "A Bill to be Entitled an Act to Pro vide Township Meeting Houses. "The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: "Section 1. That the board of township trustees of the several townships in the State be and they are hereby authorized to levy a special tax of not more than 1,000 on the property and polls in their several townships for the purpose of building houses for their own meet ings, the holding of elections and other public township purposes. - "Sec. 2. The said special tax shall ! uot exceed in any one year the sum j of five cents on the $100 valuation of j property and 15 cents on the poll i and shall be levied and collected and ' in making said levy the constitu-' tional equation between property i and polls shall be observed. ; "Sec. 3. That the taxes anthorized shall not be collected uutll the ques tiou of levying the same shall have been submitted to the qualified voters of the township in which such levy is proposed to be made and ratified by a majority of said qnalified voters. ' The election provided for in this sec- : tion may be either at a general elec- tion or at a special election held for j the purposes of this act and shall be j governed iu all respects by the gen eral laws governing elections for members of the General Assembly. "Sec. 4. That no tax shall be levied and collected In any township for the purpose authorSz d in this act nor any election held as provided in section 3 of this act until a proper and convenient site for tin- building herein authorized shall have been tendered to the township trustees free of cost to the township. "Sec. 5. That this act shall be in force from and after 1 ts ratification." The joint committee on finance re ported the revenue bill to the house. There are some changes of the bill of 1901. The last changes mads were In what is known as the merchants' purchase tax. This is fixed by the committee at 40 cents on the $1,000 up to $50,000, 25 cents up to $80,000 and 20 cents above the latter figure The privilege on dispensaries is put up 2 per cent, on gross receipts; on distilleries, a license tax ranging from $25 to $200; on retail liquor dealers $150 for-each six months, wholesale dealers $200, and beer dealers ex clusively $50; druggists selling liquor $25 annually, instead of $50. The tax on photographers is made $5. Persons can sell wine of their own manufacture at the place of manu facture, In quantities of not less than one gallon and brandy In original packages not less than 5 gallons.

It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneu monia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always rtsults from a Co'd or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has besn full proven in many lhoasards of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneuraonit often results trom a slight cold when no danger is apprehended U'ltil it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in ;he chest, then it is announced that the pat.ie t has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as foon ps the cohl is contracted. It always cures All D-uggiS'. Smallpox Notice. At a meeting of the Sanitary Com mittee of Granville county held In Oxford on the 2nd day of February, 1903, the following resolutions were passed. Resolved 1st.

Resolved 2nd. That for each person so vaccinated by the Superintendent of Health or any physician appoint ed by him to do so shall receive twenty-live cents. Provided Incor porated towns shall pay for the vac cination of their own citizens. Resolved 3rd. That all public meet ings of anv character or for any pur pose, parties, festivals, church meet ings, etc , are prohibited in the dis cretion of the Health Officer In any part or parts of the county where he may deem such prohibition necessary.
