she went to dress the fowl she found
a live snake fifteen Inches long In the
craw. It was as large as a man's lit

worse off for having been made food
of by the hen. Mr. Kittrell thinks he
must have bought the suake along

TO ELECT DELEGATES.
An Enthusiastic Meeting of the Unterrified
Democracy Thursday.
One of the most harmonious and
enthusiastic meeting of the Democra
cy of Granville was the convention
held hereon Thursday. The purpose
of this convention was toelect dele
gates to State and Congressional Con
ventlons to be held at Greensboro on
June 22nd and 23rd. The meeting
was called to order by County Chair
man B. S. Royster. Judge Graham
was made temporary chairman an3
Messrs. Wm, H. Harrison and Char
He Gordon were requested to act as
temporary secretaries. The tempo
rary organization was alter waras
made permanent.
The convention first proceeded to
the election of delegates to the State
convention. The county is entitled
to 17 votes In the State Convention,
but upon motion it was decldea that
each precinct be allowed to name as
many delegates as It saw fit and that
each delegate so named be allowed a
fractional vote so as to give as near
as possible every Democrat who at
tends the State Convention a voice.
That is certainly fair to all, and it
met the approval of every one pres
ent. The following delegates were
elected:
Dement E. C. Harris, D. G. Brum-
mttt, J. W. Bradford,
Bell Town W. W. Brummitt, B.
Royster.
Wilton J. M. Morris, W. H. P.

It is estimated that Maj. Steuman
will secure about 11 of the votes of
Granville and Mr. Gle'nn the remain
ing 2 votes.
The delegates to the State Convention-were
also made delegates to the
Congressional Convention.
The following important resolu
tion, Introduced by Judge A. W.
Graham, and unanimously adopted
amid much applause, shows that old
Granville, always noted for Its love
of liberty and hatred of traitors and
tvrants, is still opposed to oppres
sion and dares to sound first the
alarm against the bold frauds at
tempted to be fastened on our State
by its arch-enemies Butler and Rus
sell:
Whereas, the State of North Caro
lina after great deliberation and care
In 1875) passed an .-ct to compromise
and settle the State debt, on terms
just to ourselves In view of the great
losses sustained in the war, and
deemed so just by our creditors them
selves that it was accepted by an
overwhelming majority by them;
And, whereas, a syndicate has been
for years buying up at a discount the
bonds not brought in under the act
and are also buying up the Infamoun
special tax bonds with a view of
forcing this State to pay the same
through the courts;
And, whereas, this conspiracy hav
ing failed so far In the courts, an ef
fort Is now actively on foot to pro
mote the election of a legislature fa
vorable to legislation in favor o! the
syndicate, and an effort is also being
made to manufacture, or mislead,
public opinion in favor of such
schemes of the syndicate:
Now, therefore, we, the Democracy
of Granville in convention assembled,
do pledge ourselves to vote for no
man for nomination to the legisla
ture, or any State office, who will
not pledge himself to oppose any
movement, at any time, to reopen
the compromise and settlement of
the State debt made by our represen
tatives In the General Assembly of
1879, and to prevent our people being
saddled with the immense sums
which would be required to pay the
principal and nearly 40 years accrued
interest, which would be entailed on
us by reopening the settlement of
1S79,
Resolved further, That we invite
the people in our sister counties to
join In this contest by the passage of
similar resolutions.
The following resolution endorsing
Hon. W. W. Kitchin was unanimous
ly adopted:
The Democracy of G ranvllle county
In convention assembled points with
pride to the honorable, able and
fearless services of the Hon. W. W.
Kitchin and for the fourth time take
pleasure in giving him the endorse
ment of this county as our represen
tative in Congress.
The following resolution, intro
duced by Mr. S W. Minor, was also
unanimously adopted, and shows
how the efficient services of Gen.
Royster as County Chairman Demo
cratic Executive Committee are ap
preciated by his fellow Democrats:
Whereas, B. S. Royster has served
as Chairman of the Democratic Coun
ty Executive Committee for the past
four years in a manner acceptable
to all;
And, whereas, we in convention as
sembled desire to express our appre
ciation of his services,
Resolved. That we tender to him
our most sincere thanks for his past
services in behalf of the Democratic
party and unanimously recommend
to the Executive Committee his re
election as County Chairman.
As said before the convention was
entirely harmonious. There was not
a single discord and everybody went
away pleased with the work done.
In such union there Is great strength
against the enemy.

Baptist Sunday School Entertainment.
The Sunday School entertainment
at the Baptist church on Tuesday
evening, for which our Baptist friends
have been making preparation for
some time, proved to be a most en
joyable affair and in every way a de
cided success. The parts taken by
the children were well rendered and
the musical program arranged by the
choir was also rendered In the best
style and much enjoyed by the au
dience. The "Reds" won out in the contest
between them and the "Blues" by a
large majority, and Mr. J. Robt.
Wood, the captain of the Reds, was

handsome gold medal. This medal
was presented by Rev. Hlght C,

happy manner. Mr. Moore also de
livered an excellent address on Sun
day School work.

full. After the exercises refreshments
were served and a very pleasant
evening was spent. The contest has
greatly developed the Baptist Sun
day school. The roll has Increased
about three fold, almost three hun

Graduatiug Exercises of Oxford Seminary
Never before was It the good for
tune of the writer to witness gradu
ating exercises of a character so sim
ple and beautiful as were those that
took place Monday on the campus of
the Oxford Seminary. A perfect day
lent it charms to a scene already
beautiful, a scene made up of fair,
white-robed girls amid picturesque
surroundings. Tender love for their
Alma Mater drew together the class
! 1904, who with the faculty, stu
dents and a few privileged friends
formed an interested group under the
lovely shade trees. Dearer to these
girls than any public hall was the
spot chosen for the exercises; a spot
endeared to them by tender and
pleasant memories, the memories of
the past, and made beautiful by vel
vety turf and lovely 6hade. In full
view of all assembled was a sight
dear to the hearts of all who love the
old Seminary, ths spacious new build
ings which have so rapidly arisen out
of the ashes of the old ones, buildings,
teeming with the busy workmen
who are bringing them quickly to
coraoletion. Rev. Mr. Shamburger
In fervent words invoked God's bless
ing on the exercises and the audi
ence. President Hobgood In grate
ful language thanked those members
of the faculty who had so bravely
and faithfully carried forward the
interrupted work of the Seminary,
and commended highly the young
ladles who had so nobly persevered
In their studies.
The Ethical Teaching of Romola
was the subject of the essay read by
Miss Huldah Lattaof Granville coun
ty. Miss Latta's paper showed to
her attentive audience that she had
fully responded to the careful train
ing she had received and that she
had appreciated her subject. She
was followed by Miss Blanche Roy
all, of Yadklnville, N. C, who in a
most natural and charming manner
gave to her hearers tender and love
ly glimpses of childhood as seen In
the writings of Tennyson. Miss May
Peele, of Mulllns, S. C, held all In
rapt attention as she read her essay
on Man and Nature. She entertain
ed well those grouped around her as
she dwelt on this subject on which
she had bestowed such deep and care
ful thought. The papers prepared
and read by these young ladles show
ed plainly their power to receive and
apply the falthiul and carelul tram
Ing that had been given them. The
President In his usual happy manner
conferred on the class their well-merited
diplomas and degrees. Certifi
cates were awarded Miss Lula Olive,
of Wade, N. C, and Miss Maud Bu
chanan, of Oxford, both of whom
had completed the Prang Course in
Drawing for Graded Schools. The
exercises closed with a tender and
touching benediction by Dr. A. B
Dunaway, after which the assem
bly left the campus which a few
short months ago was tne scene 01
such disaster, but which is now so
full of beautiful promise for a bright
future.

Letter to Long Bros., Oxford, N. C.
Dear Sirs: Clothing Is just like
nalnt: It fits or It don't; It wears or
It don't, turns weather and water or
not: and goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothes for? Did
you ever think of it? Different per
sons have different reasons, no doubt
but one paints Deyoe for beauty, to
be in the fashion, and keep out water.
Fashion says paint; we all paint
There is beauty In paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And buildings
are costly and fashionable; put on a
waterproof two or three coats of
paint, and your buildings last as long
as you keep them dry. It cost noth
ing to paint; It costs your buildings
not to.
Devoe Is the paint that lasts; disap
pointing paints are the paints that
cost.

After a Long Illness.
On last Wednesday afternoon the
spirit of Mrs. Alice Lynch, the beloved
wue of Mr. W. D. Lynch, took its
eternal llight from the things of time
and sense and passed awav to he
with God. After manvwearv months
of patient suffering and all that lov
ing hands could do or medical sci
ence suggest, the end came as peace
fully and as silently as an Infant's
slumbers, and the faithful and de
voted watchers knew that all was
well. The messenger found her ready
as she had set her house In order
against the day of her departure by
a life of piety and consecration. She
was cheerful up to within a few days
of her death, and seemed so arratefil
for kindnesses rendered her, and
sweetly expressed a desire that the
Lord would bless those who admin
istered to her necessities. Her tender
care will no more be lavished uoon
loved ones here, including a most de
voted husband, two bright little
sons, heart-broken mother and fath
er, Dr. and Mrs. T. B. Kingsbury,

The interment was In Elmwood
cemetery and she was laid to rest
among the mounds of loved ones
who had gone before where their
kindred dust shall sleep until the res
urrection morn. The floral tributes
were beautiful and covered the sacred
mound beneath which sweetly sleeps
all that is mortal of a most lovable
woman.
"Unveil thy bosom, sacred tomb.
Take this new treasure to thy trust;
And give these sacred relics room
To slumber in the silent dust.
Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invades thy bounds; no mortal

Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
While angels watch the soft repose.
