World's Best Medicine. PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Has Made People Well When Every Other Remedy Has Failed. Taine's Celery Compound cures disease! It has saved the lives of thousands of sufferers. It has made the weak strong, vigorous, and happy. I'aine's Celery Compound purifies the blood and builds up the nervous system as nothing else can do; it is pre-eminently the great life giver and health maker. Overworked and tired women stand in ur gent need of this health giving prescription to make and keep them well. All women should take advantage of the remarkable power of this best of medicine for restoring vigor to the blood and strength to the nervous system. The all-important thing for nervous, run down, and sleepless women is that Faine's Celery Compound fortifies the whole physical system, and by correcting digestion and regulating the nerves, it insures sound, refreshing sleep. In every case of sickness Paine's Celery Com pound completely and permanently brings back health. Mrs. Mary M. Myers, Balti more, Ohio, saved by Paine's Celery Compound after the failures of able physicians, gratefully writes as follows: "I suffered for eight years with nervous prostration and the general debility common to women, and had such pains in my back that I could not get around the house. I used several remedies and consulted several ot the best physicians without obtaining any relief Paine's Celery Compound restored me to health. " I also want to say to all mothers that Paine's Celery Compound is a splendid medi cine for their children." Diamond V Home Use W m Tiey Me Old Clothes LooU New.

"When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy pro verb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment.

AVe have in the main successfully conducted the Oxford Public Ledger. We have, of course, made mistakes. No editor, or any other man, has ac complished .uy thins who has not made mistakes. If some of our friends (?) who are offering: so much cheap, five criticism had to run a newspaper they might find it harder than talking. Some old sage has truly said that "it takes less sense to criticise than t. io any thing else." We have in it especially sought pop ularity, but we have striven to do right and to keep on the right side of public questions. We believe that the good people of Oxford and 3ran ville county will bear us out in the assertion that, in the majority of cases, we have succeeded in doing this. As we said before, we may have, in some cases, failed; and who has not, we would ask? If there are any who have not made mistakes it will be in order for them to "cast the first stone." If to have opinions and to speak them out is wrong, we have certain ly done" wrong. For this we have always done and always expect to do. We have not stood for the opin ion of any particular man, men, or set of men. We have tried to know no faction or clans, but have always been loyal to our friends. We have tried to stand for what we thought to be for the best interests of the peo ple. If this is wrong, we plead guilty to the charge. Of two facts we are satisfied: We have by hard work night and dny succeeded in building up a good pat ronage and believe that a majority of our patrons, and also a majority of the best people generally, stand by our positions; we further believe that the .State press, judging from the rec ognition it gives us, as well as our own people, agree that we conduct one of the best weeklies in the State and with this verdict we are satis fied. You Are Talking Sense. AVe North Carolinians have talked much about the Tillman case in South Carolina and have been indig nant because we realized that Till man would escape. We are Phari sees and hypocrites. We are no bet ter than South Carolina in this re spect and we know it. Any man of prominence or influence or one who can command the help of prominent and influential friends, can commit murder in this State with almost every assurance that his punishment at most will be but a few vears in the State prison. Cases to prove this are becoming so common as to ex cite little comment. Every citizen. no matter how innocent or unoffend ing, Is in danger of meeting his death at the hands of any man who has no regard for human life. The law has ceased to make life secure because it is not enforced It is not a terror to those who have a disposition to shed human blood. States ville Land mark. Death of a Freak of Nature. Rutherfordton Dispatch: News reaches here that Geo. Radnall is dead. The boy was one of the most won derful freaks of nature in the south or perhaps In the world. He carried on his shoulders one of the largest and heaviest heads of anv oerson known. He lived near Ellenboro with his parents. He was ( years old when he died and weighed only 0.1 pounds. His head measured 4(5 inches in circumference and weighed 50 pounds. His body arms and legs only l." pounds. For five years his head had been growing rapidly and it could not be seen at the time of his death that his body had grown a particle that period. At times he could not hold up his head, but most of the time preferred lying in tied "be cause his head was so heavv. Candidate for Governor on Anti-Negro Platform. The closing of the postoflice at In dlanola, Miss,, by order of President Roosevelt, because the white people objected to a negro postmaster, has made it a campaign issue in Mississippi- Major Varadatuan, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, who fought at Santiago, has announced himself a. candidate for Governor on an "Anti-Negro" platform and pro poser to divide the public school fund of the State between the races ac cording to the amount of taxes paid by each race. He has succeeded in stirring up sen timent among the white people in fa vor of such a law. This will close 75 per cent, of the negro public schools in the State. Gave Birth to Four Children, Rurnsville Jungle: vVe learn from a gentleman just from Madison county that Mrs, Hud Boon, who lives at Georgetown, gave birth to four chil dren a few days ago. This same mother gave birth to three children 2 years ago. Gov. Aycock's atten tion is hereby called to the above facts and a present of $100 each should be given the children by the State.

THE WATTS BILL The following is the full text of the Watts bill as It passed the Legisla ture, except the last sections, which provide for elections in the towns : "The General Assembly of North Ca r olina do enact: "Section 1.

The last sections of the bill provide for elections in the towns upon the petition of one-fourth of the registei- ed voters, upon the questions of dis pensary, distillery and license. Tragedy Averted. 'Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved" wri'es Mrs. W. Watkins of Plea ant Cit , Ohio, "Pneumonia had play ed sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides.

I i 1 & Short Accounts of Hap- I penings Among Our f Neighbors. I By Our Correspondents 1 c Gregory Greetings. I,eft out last week. We hear the springbirds whistling, and it makes our heart glad. Every family ought to have the Public Ledger in their home. May it ever grow is my wish. Our highly esteemed friend, Mr. E. M. Hart, purchased a nice horse last week of C. II. Landls. Mr. G. W. Hart, of West Durham, was in this section last week visiting relatives. We were glad to see you, George; come again. Mr. I.. G. O'Brien, Jr., was the guest of his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Hart, of Penny Hill sec tion, one day this week. The services at Stovall Paptist church on the second Saturday and Sunday were conducted by Rev. Jlen sou. of Dabney High School. The land keeps so wet the farmers don't get the chance to do anything but cut wood. Tobacco Is so low tls poor encouragement to plant it this year. We are glad to learn that Iiro. Wm. Faueette, who has been con fined to his bed for about six months, is rapidly improving. We hope he will soon be well again. CRACKER JACK. Stem stemming. Left out last week. The second quarterly meeting of the J ranvllle circuit was held at Stem last Sunday. Miss Lela Thomasson, one ol the bewitching young ladies of the Tar River section, is at the Duncan springs to spend a few weeks. Misses Corinne Bowling, Mamie Haskins, Zula Cash and Messrs. Char lie Dee, James Haskins, John Par rott, Hal and Lee Edd Whitaker, W. T. (Bob) Jones and Henry Bullock visited at the home of this scribe last Saturday evening. We were very much amused at the way the girls do their kissing and will tell how our girls do it: The Granville girls go at it shy As any highway robber, And though we think It very nice It's only "swapping slobber." Mr. Duncan ,Loyd had the misfor tune to lose a fine cow about a year ago, and one day last week lost an other very valuable one. It la re ported that the gall duct was as large as a half gallon jug. Perhaps some of the readers the Public Ledger have a remedy for such disease, and if so please let it be known at once. AVe were very much surprised to hear a prominent Democrat remark that the Legislature now in session would not pass any liquor bill worth anything, but was only making pre tentions In order to fool the people. We circulated a petition in this sec tion in the interest of the London bill and every man, with only one ex ception, signed it who had an oppor tunity, and if the representatives from Granville do not vote for said bill, or some stringent liquor bill, then the voters in this section will be very much disappointed In them. LACK LAND. greedttioor Cropping. Lef t out last week? "Oh my arm !" is the latest. Creedmoor has been quite dull for the past three weeks owning to the smallpox scare but as we have heard of no new cases we think the scare will soon be over. AVill say to Blue Eyes of Adoniram that If she knew how eagerly we read the Public Ledger each week to find some news from that community I am sure she would write oftener. VVe are always glad to hear from up there as we had such a glorious time with the people of that neighborhood Christmas. Doubtless many of them have forgotten the original of the nom de plume, "Miss Stovall." How many of the correspondents received valentine this year? Boys If you didn't send your girl a valentine this year you are strickly out of it until 190. for next year is our time and we will make good of It too, as it will be the first leap yeawe have had in a long time. Which Is the most injurious to a young man, whiskey or cigarettes? This is a queston 1 would like to ask all the readers of the Public Ledger and I hope to hear the opinion of all the correspondents through its col umns. It may be true that whiskey has wrecked more homes and brought poverty to more people, and yet I doubt if there are more drunkards in our country today than men who have become slaves to the cigarette. One may not become a cigarette smoker intentionally but will smoke one now and then because It Is offered to, him and in a few weeks he Is wide awake to the fact that he cannot do without them. It is no - uncommon sight to see a boy ten or twelve years puffing away at the dangerous cigar ette and thus undermining health and Intellect at the very outset of useful existence. To them it looks manlsh and grand to walk about with the neat looking paper roll In their mouth, Then too smoking seems to blunt the sensibilities and to make the user careless of the rights and feelings of others. Some ignore the fact that smoke is diragreeable to many, and think only of gratify ing their own appetites. They smoke in any place or company and take no pains to remove the odor that lingers about them. Lverytmng must be sacrificed to the one necessity , a smoke. Now it seems that a young man just beginning life with his fortune to make and his success to achieve cannot afford to burden himself with a habit that will make his presence offensive to many ami that may render him less sensitive to j the best influence of manhood. The cigarette to my mind Is the greatest curse In our country and is injuring more boys than drink. Now we think Brothers Stradley's suggestion a wise one and we heartily agree with him, but would it not be wise to discard the cigarette smokers as well? Let us hear from others on this subject. MAGNOLIA. fie Wanted to Gain Flesh A Boston millionaire was very thin. Business cares and conse quent nervous troubles told the story. He became alarmed, it is said, and consulted a famous specialist. " I want some flesh," he said. ' I am willing to pay for it. I'll give you $500 for every pound of solid healthy flesh you can put on these bones." It was a big price, but he could well afford to pay it. For undue thinness is dangerous. It means disease, or the approach of disease. Cod liver oil has most always been prescribed for this condition. It has wonderful properties as a medicine,but its disagreeable grease and vile taste and smell make most people sick. We have long thought that something could be devised with cod liver oil as a basis that would arrest emaciation, promote nutri tion, stimulate digestion, aid in throwing off rheumatism, lung trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and prove a real body -building ton it; reconstructor and flesh former. We have found it in Vinol (it you are interested call at the store and we'll tell you kozv we found it) and it certainly does the work. It is pleasant to take. If you are sick and thin, try Vinol. You can get your money back if it doesn't help you. R. L. HAMILTON, UKUGOIST. The announcement comes from New Jersey that a woman fell dead at a bargain counter. But death has no terror for the average wo man when she becomes infatuated with the bargain counter. A Severe cold for three Honths The following letter from A. J. Nusbaum, of P.atesville, Ind., tells ts own story. 'I suffered for three months with a severe cold A druggist prepared me some medicine, and a physician prescribed for me, yet 1 did not improve. I then tried Foley's Ifoney and Tar, and eight doses cured me." Refuse substitutes. For sale by R. L. Hamilton. Men who set out to buy pleasure always make poor bargains. Your eyesight may often be too good for your peace of mind. ECRET At th Price of Suffering. Woman on her way to semi-invalidistrj caused by pregnancy suffers much pain. Ignorance prompts her to suffer alone in silence and remain in the dark as to the true cause motherhood. Mother's Friend takes the doctor's place and she has no cause for an inter view. She is her own doctor, and her modesty is protected. Daily application tr the breast and abdomen throughout pregnancy will enable her to undergo the period of gestation in a cheerful mood and rest undisturbed. Mother's Friend is a liniment for external use only. It would indeed be shameful if the sacrifice of modesty were necessary to the success ful issue of healthy children. All women about to become mothers need send only to a drug store and for $1.00 secure the prize childbirth remedy."
