Drug Duty
Defined !....
The Druggist's Duty!
He should fill the "prescrip
tion precisely as it is written.
He should not deviate a hair
breadth either in quantity or
kind. His drugs and medi
cines should be the purest and
best. He should shut his eyes
to everything but the very
best. . He should avoid the
handling of inferior drugs as
he would any other criminal
act. When he has done all
this, he has simply done his
duty no more.
The Doctor's Duty!
He must first examine his
patient, by the light of science,
to determine where and what
the trouble is. He must deter
mine and prescribe precisely,
the kind of drugs needed to
effect a cure. He must direct
the doses and leave no room
for doubt on the part of the
patient, or the druggist who
compounds the prescription.
There his duty ends.
Your Duty!
If medicine is to cure a dis
ease, it must be good medicine
the best only is good enough.
Your duty to yourself and your
doctor is, to go to the very best
druggist you can find, without
letting dollars and distance
stand in your way. In doing
your duty we have every rea
son to think that you will come
here with your prescriptions.

corps of teachers have done good
work during the present session and
deserve the thanks of our people.
The children are delighted with the
school and, we have been informed,
are making good progress.
The people of Oxford have every
reason to feel prom? of this inst't.u
tion and its splendid record. As we
have said before, many who opposed
the school at first tire now its warm
est supporters and friends. May con
tinued Increase of attendance and ef

It is, as it should be, the pride of
the town, and the editor hopes that
not a single vote will be cast against
the charter on Monday, the 4th day

An Account of Their Stewardship.
Judge Allen adjourned court on
Tuesday promptly at 1 o'clock in
order that Senator A. A. I licks and
Judge Graham might speak to the
people of the county according to
their previous engagement and give
an account of their stewardship In
the Legislature. Mr. Hicks spoke
first and made a good speech, review
ing his record In the past Legislature.
His speech was brief, but snowed his
record in the Legislature and also
showed that he had tried to serve
the people of the district well. The
speech was well received and ap
plauded. His explanation on the
votes he cast were well explained and
we believe will be entirely satisfac
tory to his constituency.
Judge Graham followed Senator
Hicks and spoke for about an hour
and made a most excellent and inter
esting speech. He surveyed the work
of the Legislature and explained
thoroughly the road law, which our
people were glad to hear, as they are
much concerned about it. He also
reviewed in detail other important
acts and informed our people on
many laws about which they were
anxious to learn. The speech was
received with much enthusiasm.
Our people endorse the course of
our representatives, and, perhaps, it
was unnecessary for them thus to
present their record, Y hether nec
essary or not they gave much valua
ble Information and were gladly re
celved by a large audience.

Judge's Charge Grand Jury Proceed
ings of Court.
Granville Superior Court convened
promptly at 10 o'clock at the court
house in Oxford on Mondav last.
Judge Allen and Solicitor Brooks
having arrived on Sunday.
The following grand iurv was
drawn: Rev. W. S. Hester, foreman,
.1. W. Bowllngr. E. R. Crews. O. F.

Preddy.Wm, Davis. Officer In charce.
J. P. Bradsher.
Judge Allen's charge to the grand
jury was a good one. It was clear
and strong and covered the criminal
law of the State fully. After going
over the general criminal laws of the
State, Judge Allen proceeded to pay
special attention to the offense of
gambling and lynching, and also to
illicit distilling and fornication and
adultery. He explained the new law
under the Watt's bill In regard to Il
licit distilling and said that they
now come under the jurisdiction
of the State law. He spoke of
the ruin wrought to the neighbor
hoods where stills were operated.
Next he spoke of the importance of
enforcing the law In regard to forni
cation and adultery andtheevil done
the home by this crime. He showed
how the very government Itself de
pended upon the pnrity of the home
and that to keep the home pure this
offense must be punished. "It Is a
fester," said he, "upon the home and
upon society." These remarks by the
Judge were timely and grand juries
generally would do well to heed them .
He charged the grand jury to make
presentment against garni ding In any
form either in playing cards for mon
ey or in dealing In futures or in run
ning bucket shops. In speaking of
the crime of lynching he told the
grand jury that, notwithstanding
the fact that some good men had en
gaged in these lynchiugs, yet under
their oaths they were bound to in
dict such offenders.
Altogether the charge was an able
and comprehensive and our people
are greatly pleased with Judge whom
they consider one of the States ablest
jurists.
The docket both criminal and
civil is not full at this term. There
are no capital cases and no criminal
cases of any kind of much import
ance except the Frank Blackley case
which is attracting some attention.
It will be remembered that this was
the cause for the escape of Thomas
Rogers on which the Supreme Court
granted a new trial at this term.
The civil docket is small, most of the
cases being continued ones. The fa
mous Gattls-Kilgo travesty may
probably come up for trial at this
term, though we do not know defi
nitely as to this.
The following ie disposition
made of the caes tried so far at this
term:
State vs. F. M. Blackley, escape;
guilty; judgment .f2."i0 fine and cost.
State vs. John Chavis, larceny;
guilty.
State vs. Chas. Rice and E. G.
Weaver, affray; guilty; judgment sus
pended on payment of cost.
State vs. Wiley Rogers, a. w. d. w. ;
plead guilty.
State vs. Will Walker and Will
Hunt, a. w. d. w.; guilty.
State vs. Ollle AVllkerson, larceny;
guilty.
State vs. J. A. Massey, embezzle
ment; guilty.
State vs. Jack Taborn, c. c. w.
guilty; judgment .$ 5 and cost.
State vs. vVm. Jones, embezzle
ment; plead guilty
There will be about seven sent to
the roads and Judge Allen has thus
far held up passing sentences In order
to find out whether the County Com
mlssloners desire them sent to the
roads in Granville.
