Some Christians are like kites, they never rise until a strong wind blows against them. When did (leorse Washington first take a carriage? When lie took a hack at the cherry tree. Almost all kinds of business was at a stand still during last week on ac count of the continued rains. Building material fceems to be scarce in Oxford, as it is a hard mat ter to j-et even a small order filled. Dr. T. Ij. Booth has taken down the fence in front of his residence on College street, and will tlx up a nice lawn. There were a large number of Indies and gentlemen from different sec lions of tlm county in Oxlord Tuesday shopping. Since our connection with the courts we have found out that you can always get a, dose of law at cost your cost. If you desire to have your teeth worked on Dr. I. II.

By all means dont forget to go to t he polls Monday and vote for the ( 'barter for the Graded School. There should not be a. single vote cast against it. Dr. Moore, presidiug elder of this district, will hold quarterly meeting In the Methodist church next Sunday morning, and you are invited to at tend the services. During the past week our base n ' !iver witnessed several interest ing games and we opine that some of their pocket books are lighter on account of the visitors. Vnr the benefit of the neonle of Southern uranvme weearnestiy nope the Seaboard Railroad will so ar- rsina-e a schedule as to irivethem o or 4 hours In Oxford instead of one hour as is now the case. Mr. John (J. Hall has iust ulaced in his drug store a handsome new Fountain with a new counter on which is handsome Tennessee Marble. and is now ready to dispense all kinds ot retresuing drinks. Tlif Seaboard Route to and from Oxford has become quite a popular one, ana wouiu ie more so n tue schedule was such as to give South Granville Deoule auout 4 hours In Oxford Instead of one honr. It was the desire of the editor to publish this week the names of the boys and girls who won thedinerent prizes in the Graded School, but after deligent inquiry have thus far been unable to get the names. "All you people of this congrega tion, said the seli-willed minister, "are entirely toostubborn. " i ou rt regular mules." "Ah! yes," replied the mild member, "now I understand why you always address us as 'Dear Brethren.' " It is to lie hoped that the young woman in South Dakota whoeloped with her lover and dressed in men's clothing, rode ." miles through blindlngsnowstorm and spent a night in jail, will never feel constrained to sue for a divorce. A Tennessee man swapped his wife for a mule, and the fellow who got the woman had the fellow who got the mule arrested for swindling him. The mule seems to be the only Innocent and respectable party In this combination. He didn't kick at the swap, either. Judge A. W. Graham Is spoken of in connection with the nomination for Governor. He Is a son of Hon William A. Graham, who was Secre tary of War in President Filmore's Cabinet. Judge Graham has a large following In North Carolina. Times- Dispatch, Richmond. Friday evening while Mr. Luther Farabow and Mr. Frank Blaloek.tne two efficient and pleasant salesmen in the clothing store of Messrs. Long Bros., were engaged in a little friendly tussle they fell on the floor, and Mr Farabow falling on his right leg fractured it near the ankle. At first he suffered very much, but we are glad to learn is improving very hist and hope to see him out soon. Reference was made directly after the passage of the Watts law that Otho Wilson would hie to Virginia and take with him his Lores and Penates, to-wit, his stills, of which he has two, one in South and one in North Wake. One of these he has been operating half a year and the other the remaining half making In the six months enough stuff to supply each particular locality. lie will soon go to Virginia. In company with Solicitor Brooks, Gen. B. S. Royster, Major Guthrie, of Durham, and Dr. (J. T. Slkes, of (iris Bona, we had the pleasure of taking dinner Thursday at the Exchange Hotel and the menu was all that jL'.ould be desired. Mrs. Smith Is a 'capital house keeper and the table Is always supplied with the best the market affords as the portly and good natured Mr. Lonnle Smith at test that fact, along with the large patronage the Exchange now enjoys, GATTIS-KILGO CASE GOES TO WAKE. Most of Kilgo' s Affidavit Comprised Ar ticles From Public Ledger, on This Ac count Could not get a Fair Trial. The case of Thos. Gattls vs. J, C. Kiligo was set for trial on Thursday, April iSJrd. At the time Dr. Kilgo tiled an affidavit stating hecouldnot get a fair trial in Granville county and asking that the case be removed to some other county. Among other things be stated that the case had been twice tried along the lines of popular prejudice against him on ac count of his supposed views on fi nance, etc., and notwithstanding to the law and the evidence. This is a misstatement of the facts and an un warranted lllng at the jurors of Granville county. It is true that the case has been twice tried before a ury and each time the evidence showed that Kilgo had gone out of his way to publish a wicked malicious libel upon a brother in the ministry, who for forty years had been an honored member of the conference; that he had by his falne and malicious charges destroyed his business and brought him to penury and want, Dr. Kilgo set there and heard these charges proved hymen of good char ter and stiil did not deny them. In fact, in his answer he reiterated every charge he had made against Mr. Gat- tis. What other verdict can he ex pect than those that have been ren dered, when he is too indifferent or too much afraid to go on the stand and deny that he had malice In his heart toward Mr. Gnttis, when he published that he (Giittls) kept i store where religious literature was sold, but where indecent gossip was retailed to such an extent that all good men had to stop going there. Dr. Kilgo was afraid to go to I 'er- son, because he said the Person coun ty people were too much like Gran ville folks and would be sure to una against him. We don't think he could have paid them a higher com pliment. Dr. Kilgo s affidavit was based largely upon articles that ap peared from time to time in this pa per. W e gave a fair and impartial account of the trial, so that every person could form his own opinion about It. And we also published comments from other papers In the State going to show that the press of the State thought the verdict was just. We have opinions of our own about the matter and on several oc casions published them. But never at any time did we attempt to influ ence the juries of the county. econ sider it the duty of the press when ever it sees a great wrong a one to the humble and meek, to speak out In no uncertain tones about it. We were not aware we had acquired so much influence in Granville county as Dr. Kilgo ascribed to us. But we are glad that our policy of doing what we believe to be right and tell ing the truth, regardless of whom It may effect, is acknowledged even by those who may dlrter with us in po litical or other matters. Some say the motion to remove was just In order to secure further time, and with the hope of wearing Mr.- Gattis out. It has now been nearly five years since this libel was published and, we believe, a great wrong done, and still the case goes on. The whole matter could have been ended years ago by Dr. Kilgo stating that he had found that hs was mistaken and that he had no malice towards Mr. Gattls and wae sorry the publication had been made But instead of that he files an an swer and swears that every charge he made against Gattls is true, tho he Is afraid to go on the stand and be cross-examined about It. The case was removed to Wake. Court meets there the last of Octo ber. Wake people are not different from Granville people and with the same evidence before them will give the same verdict, or even a larger one, as they ought to do on account of the delay to which Mr. Gattls has been put. The action of the Supreme Court In regard to Mr. Gattis' interest in this case well deserves the censure It has received at the hands of the peo ple and the press. Thelractlon shows plainly what we have said before that the highest court In this great old State has been thoroughly parti san. The court has tried to destroy Mr. Gattis' case and shift the re sponsibility to the lower court. Not satisfied with shifting the case from pillar to post on the pretext of "er ror" they at last tried to cut out the strongest part of the case root and branch. They ruled that everj-thing said was privileged and said express malice must be shown. When ex press malice was shown in the next trial, they still found more "error." But the case is so strong against the defendants that we believe that Mr. Gattis, in spite of all the wrongs he has suffered, will win again at the hands of an honest jury next October. The Rev. T. J. Gattis was on hand and in the court room ready for trial, while Dr. J. C. Kilgo appeared on the scene Saturday accqmpanled by Rev. Plato Durham, but did not appear at the Court House, being on hand in case he was needed. But for our part we are glad the case has been removed from Granville, for we are still of the opinion that it has been an "affliction" to us. At any rate we are willing for a sister county to give us a rest for awhile. The motion for removal which was made before Judge Allen on last Fri day was strongly presented by the counsel for the defendants along the lines we have outlined above. Messrs. T. T. Hicks and R. VV. Winston spoke for the defendant and Judge. A. W. Graham and Maj. W. A. Guthre for the plaintiff. Mr. Hicks very strong ly presented the plea of the defend ants for removal and Judge Winston In that felicitious and plausible man ner of which he is master explained In detail the claims outlined by Mr. Hicks, reading numerous ey tracts from the Public Ledger and other pa pers. We were a little surprised that our friend Judge Winston did not read a certain editorial along with all the other articles in the Fublic Ledger In which we expressed the opinion that Dr. Kilgo should be asked to resign as president of Trin ity College for the reason that he was a wrangler who was stirring up much strife and doing the denomina tion and the college much harm. That, perhaps, was a truth our friends for the defence did not want disseminated. The plaintiffs counsel led by Judge Graham, answered the motion of the defendants in a most convincing manner, showing that the trial had attracted much attention all over the State and that the reading public in other counties than Granville had heard the matter discussed; that Granville was a large county and that in the remote parts of the coun ty a competent jury could be secured. They further stated that the trials here before were fair as was attested by Judge Hoke and others; that there had been no demonstrations to ef fect public sentiment. And yet, we wrere not so much sur prised that Judge Allen should have removed the case, not knowing the conditions as they really existed here. He could only act from the Informa tion before him and we believe that his only aim was to do justice to all parties concerned. But enough of this now. The matter will be decid ed by a Wake county jury in October. May the trial meet the demands of justice and the discussion cease. This controversy has already done the cause of religion as well as the Meth odist denomination much harm. It has shown the corrupting influence of the dollar over some of the leaders In church affairs. Not only this but it has dampened the zeal of members of the church who are losing faith in their leaders. Granville Superior Court. Granville Superior Court came to a. close Saturday night after a week's hard work, as Judge Allen Is a dis patcher of business. In giving the names of those con victed on the criminal docket last week, we did not give the sentences as Judge Allen had not passed upon them, which are as follows: Sidney White, Henrv White, Zol Knight and Ben Knight, malicious injury to property of Eula Bailey, 4 months In jail and assigned to roads of Granville; W m.

Allen, Judge presiding at the April term, 1903, of the Superior Court held In Ox ford, N. C: We, the jury, beg leave to submit the following report, to-wit: Under the charge of his Honor and the faithful help and wise counsel of the Hon. Solicitor Brooks we were enabled to investigate and make re turns of all bills that came Into our hands, Then the jail was examined by the jury in a body. We found It well kept by a humane and affable gentle man. The property was well pre served and well arnmged for the health and comfort as well as the safe keeping of the prisoners. We were pained to find incarcerated In its walls an old soldier, an unfortu nate inebriate, Ball Smith, and we recommend he be sent to the county home for protection. . We examined the court house and recommend that the jury box be en larged by removing tbe railing a few feet nearer the bar, also the steps In the front end of the house be recarp eted. On examination we found the Register's ollice well kept .and the records were nicely arranged in the vault which is thought to be tire proof. There is needed, however, some additional shelves of proper di mensions for certain books too large for the places they now occupy. We recommend an extension of the shelves under the supervision of Mr. Mayes, our present Register of Deeds. We also examined the Clerk's office. We found everything In good order. We then visited the county home and found the Inmates well provided for. The superintendent seems to have the interest of the county at heart and feels greatly the need of an enclosure to protect the Inmates and the premises. We have a faith ful and accommodating officer In the person of Mr. Bradshaw, W. S. HESTER, Foreman. Granville District of Raleigh Convocation.

ALLEN Ranks Among the Ablest of the State's Su perior Court Judges. We have known hut few judges, who, in our opinion, were so well equipped for the high position as Judge Wm. R. Allen, who has held the last two terms of Granville Su perior Court. In this opinion we be lieve both the people and the bar concur, as he is very popular with both. He has a well-balanced legal mind. His thoughts and expressions are never "muddy." His mind Is strong, clear and coherent. Ills dic tion is finished and yet plain, so that everybody understands him. He never tries to make a show of his learning, but always goes straight to the mark, which Is true, we think, of the really great jurists. He has a mind of his own because he knows the law. While on the bench he seldom refers to the books, but seems to have the law at ready command from memory. The editor was especially impressed with his charge to the grand jury. Every sen tence of it was clear and Impressive and could not possibly be misunder stood, and yet there was no needless repetition. His charges to the petit jury were comprehensive and cover ed every point of the evidence and were made without the use of notes. To both sides he was eminently fair, as all the attorneys of our bar will agree. His demeanor on the bench Is al ways dignified and becoming. While never severe, he maintains the best of order In his court. He does not have to ask for order, buteommands the respect which always secures It. Perhaps his strongest quality Is that he thinks for himself and allows no influence to swerve him from the course of justice. While this is true he Is never unkind or harsh to attor neys or others, but Is glad to give them all a patient hearing. He is sympathetic, but at the same time believes that crime must be punished Judge Allen has a number of rela tives in Granville, this county being the home of his mother, and also large host of friends and admirers. He will return to this county again to hold court just before his term of office expires. We shall ever enter tain for him the highest esteem and respect as will the bar here and the good people of Granville county. With his high character and splendid equipment we believe that the future hold In store for him still greater honors, and in our opinion will adorn the Supreme Court bench. In what we have said of our dls tinguished friend of the county of our birth we have not aimed to be ml some In our praise of him. We have only tried to express our honest opinion. A Fortunate Escape. Mr. Baldy Hobgood while return ing home last Thursday night from a visit to a friend just outside o town had a narrow escape from se rious injury. Just as he had gotten about to the middle of the high tres tie this side of the cemetery he heard, with much consternation, the ap proach of an extra train. He did not have time to go back or forward, and as It was very dark he was un able to swing off to one side; so there was only one thing left to do jump oil which he did with much dexter Ity and agility and with fine success, landing "right side up with care. The trestle Is a high one and the leap was probably twenty feet. I1 ortu nately there was about four feet of water beneath which acted as pad ding to ward off the effect of the sud den stop. Mr. Hobgood escaped en tirely without injury, the only trou ble being the water which struck him above the waist. This was uncom fortable, but we sire glad it was no worse. It was, indeed a fortunate, light. . The Place to Save Money. "Where are all these people going?" is the pertinent question asked by Messrs. Long Bros. In their large ad vertisement on the fourth page. Of course they are making for the two big stores of Eong Bros, where the spring and summer wants of the peo ple In dress goods, notions, tasty millinery, trimmings, shoes, &c, for the ladles and misses, and clothing, shoes, hats and furnishings for men and boys at the lowest prices can be found. In proof of this fact their stores are thronged daily with shop pers who go to their homes greatly pleased with the bargains secured at Eoug Bros. If you have not as yet joined the procession that is march ing daily into the stores of the wide awake, up to-date Eong Rros. do so at once. The editor takes pleasure In calling attention to the change in their large advertisement. Carried to Oxford. Walter C. Sherron.the young white man who was arrested on Wednes day night by deputy sheriff John F. Harward, on a warrant from Ox ford, charging him with slander, was carried over to that county this morning by the sheriff of Granville. After he was arrested by officer Har ward, Sherron offered to pay the of ficer well if he would allow him to escape, but the offer of the bribe had no effect on Mr. Harward. Such things may be worked in some places but they don't go here. Durham Sun, Cth. . . Robbea the Grave. A startling ircident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows; "I was in an awful cOndijion. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue ciated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physi cians had given me up. Then I was advised lo use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 5oc, guaranteed at J. P. Sudman's drug store, A beginning Is half the battle in an oral or writing argument.
