The News and Observer In a long- article on the Nail Asylum case pays the following compliment to Board of Directors, of which our honored townsman Dr. Graham Hunt, Is a member: Thse who know the character of the men who compose the board will not doubt that they would without delay remove any official known to be guilty of "neglect, insult or cruelty to a patient." The high standing of John W. Thompson, of Wake; S. O. Mlddleton. of Duplin; L. J. Plcot, of Warren; W. H. Whitehead, of Nash; J. G. Hunt, of Granville; James M. Parrott, of Lenoir; John D. Btggs.of Martin; R. H. Stanclll, of Northamp ton; Edward Smith, of Harnett the gentlemen who compose the board Is sufficient evidence that no cruelty will be tolerated by them or condon ed by their action. They cannot, In deed, know all that transpired in the institution, but they will not fall to do their duty when In possession of facts. If they, or any of them, how ever, should apologize for or excuse harsh treatment, the people of North Carolina would rise up and demand their retirement as was done 18 years ago when other good men, blinded by their faith in an unworthy official, failed to rid the institution of his presence.

He is one of Granville's most excellent men and his children and grand children are among our best people. Mr. Floyd, we regret to say, now resides out of his native heath, being now a resi dent of Person, but we hope he may yet come back to his old home. Subscribe to Public Ledger. Speaking at Providence and Stem. Prof. R. D. W. Connor, of Raleigh, spent last Friday and Saturday In Granville county in the interest of public education. Friday afternoon he spoke at Prov idence school house to a large and appreciative audience and they heard him gladly. Prof. Connor Is a strong, impressive and Interesting speaker, and the people paid strict attention to his speech, which was an hour and 20 minutes long. . At the close of Professor Connor's able speech Drs. B. K Hays and E. B. Meadows made short addresses congratulating the peopleof this sec tion upon the gratifying progress they have made, and urged -them to make still greater efforts for the edu cation of the children. At Stem Saturday Prof. Connor, we are InforunKl, made one or the strongest speeches ever delivered in the county on education. Treating his subject from the- several view points he made a strong plea for lon ger school terms, betterschoolhouses, better teachers and better supervis ions. No one who heard his argument can help realizing the great responsi bility that rests upon them to give the children, of Granville county an equal opportunity to compete with the children of other counties and other States. In order to Improve our schools we must have more money as the State and county funds are not sufficient to. meet the de mauds made on them, and conse quently the funds must come from elsewhere. It rests with the people to say how this extra money shall be raised. Prof. Connor closed bis address with a strong plea for a local tax to supplement the present school fund. Dr. B. K. Hays and Dr. Hardee also addressed the meeting In behalf of better schools. Great Revival in Durham. I feel Impressed that I should give a short sketch of my trip to Durham to hear Rev. Geo. Stewart. We were In Durham last Saturday and Sun day and attended two services Sat urday and three Sunday. Saturday morning he preached to the children and a delightful service it was. There were as many as 4,000 at every ser vice. Sunday he preached from Gen. 18-19, his theme being "Home gov ernment and Home Authority." He said the home question settles every other question, and that home au thority and home example was not worth much without example. It was a plea for parents to train and raise their children. The sermon at 3 p m Sunday was to the women, but all were admitted. Text, "Who can find a virtuous wo man?" The sermon was great and the services fine At night he preach ed to men only, and 4,000 heard him. His text was Daniel 1-8: "But Daniel purposed in his heart," etc. This was the grandest service we ever attend ed, and the sermon was plain, im pressive and helpful. He held the vast audience spellbound almost all the while. At times all would laugh and at other times all would weep, then all would cheer. When he call ed for penitents or req uests for prayer there were nearly a thousand to res pond, and as many as 200 or more went up to the altar and knelt for prayer. Out of this number nearly all were converted. The meeting surpasses anything that has happened in this country. The writer has been to Durham twice to hear Sam Jones In the same build ing this was held in Parrlsh Ware house but this meeting beats them all. It would have paid any man to walk from Oxford to Durham to be there at one service If he could get there no other way. We wish that all the preachers in this county could hear him, as they could learn much that would be helpful to them. The question now Is when can we get Evangelist Stewart to come to Oxford? His time Is engaged for a year ahead. D.N Hunt. BUSINESS GETTERS. 8"2 horse farm for rent near Berea. Apply to W. T. YANCEY. 8 Wanted All the beef cattleyou have. Highest prices guaranted. W. L.
