New Road to be Opened, County will buy Rock Crushers in order to make Better Roads. Granville County's excellent and painstaking Board of Commissioners were In session Monday and Tuesdav with all the members present. It will be seen from the proceedings that they have realized the fact that they cannot build permanent roads without a rock crusher and decided to buy one. The Public Ledge'r warm ly endorses their action as we want to see Granville keep pace with other counties In the building of first-class roads which are so essential to the prosperity of our grand old county. The people are demanding more roads and better roads and our Board of Commissioners are doing all they can with the means at their command to comply with thelrwlshes Messrs. W. J. Longmlre and N. M. Cannady were exempted from work on public roads on account of physl cal disabilities. Mr. Sam Howard, quite an Intelli gent young man of Walnut Grove Townehlp, appeared before the Board as the champion of the opening of the new road from Mr. Roy Currln's to GoBhen Chapel. He had drawn on a large black board a well defined map of the territory over which the road would traverse, and in a lucid manner explained to the Board the many advantages the road would be to the people of that territory. After his most excellent talk Capt. N. B. Daniel made the following mo tion which was carried: That the new road from Roy Currln's to Gosh en Chapel be granted as per petition filed at last meeting provided there be no cost to the county. On motion of Chairman C. F. Crews It was ordered that a Rock Crusher be purchased in order that more permanent roads may be build in the county. Mr. L. H. Moss was appointed a committee to look after the bridge over Ceder Creek Brassfield Town ship. On motion of Mr. W. S. Gooch, Messrs. C. F. Crews and E. C. Harris were appointed a committee to buy the Rock Crusher at the best advan tage to the county, Mr. W. S. Gooch was appointed to look after the damage to the land of J. H. Adams on account of change of road. Mrs. L. Meadows was granted a special allowance of $3. Ann Marrow, Cleveland Jones and Joseph Wilson were put on the out side pauper list at $1 per month each. In settlement with Superintendent Walter of the county home it was found that the county was due him f 38 50. which was ordered paid. Several rebates were allowed as It was thought best not to let the old mill stand Idle for fear it might rust. Lincoln Harris was allowed to go to the County Home. Messrs. B. S. Royster, C. F. Crews and E. C. Harris were appointed a committee to have the Court House repainted and repaired. After allowing a number accounts against the county the Board ad journed Tuesday afternoon.

A cyclone struck in the west part of Henderson Saturday nlght.about8:30 and for a few moments terrified the inhabitants of that part of the town. Only three buildings were in its twist ing path and these were wiped away. The large tobacco house of E. A. Lewis containing about a half million pounds of tobacco and one of the houses of the American Tobacco Company, containing four .hundreds thousand poudds of tobacco, were completely demolished and hundrsds of men worked all day Sunday try ing to separate the tobacco and smashed timbers. The cyclone next struck the colored Presbyterian Col lege aart destroyed one of the princi ple building?. It all happened so sud denly that had it been in the day lime many workers would have been killed, Judgeship Race in Ninth District. Raleigh correpondent of Charlotte Observer says: It has been understood for some that. J. Crawford Biggs Su preme court reporter, Is a candidate for judge in theGreennsboro-Durham district. It has even been claimed by his friends that be has the nomination assured to him, having Durham and Granville solidly behind him with an excellent chance to get about two thirds of Person and Alamance and a pretty falrsupportln Orange county. The Impression seems to have gotten out that Judge Shaw's friends were making no effort to stem the tide against him, but The Observer's cor respondent learns that the friends of Judge Shaw are actively organizing In bis Interest and that Senator A. M. Scales, of Greensboro, is to lead his fight for the Judgeship. . Harvie Jordan at Raleigh. Harvle Jordan, President of the Southern Cotton Association, never had a more attentive audience than listened to him In Raleigh Saturday, when he addressed the farmers, bank ers and others of all classes, who feel thejnterest and show it in the matter he brings before the people. H Is speech was filled with wholesome advise to the farmers, and the pleas that he has ever made for a unity of action and a more direct and effective co-operation between that class and the men who are toiling In the South in other walks of life. His subject allowed va ried facts and comments along the parts of farming life. He appealed to all Southern Interests to stand to- gtfiUfTina t,ohIov to the cotton con suming world the true meaning of direct unity and oneness of thought, purpose and action. He referred to the tact that more than 20,000 letters had been- sent from his offices In At lanta to individual farmers who are returning pledges to hold, and to de crease acreage. People Killed on Railroads and Bank epor s. We gather the following from the Corporation Commission Report for 1905 which Is interesting reading: During the year there were 114 per sons killed and 787 Injured in acci dents. Atlantic Coast Line, 20 killed 95 Injured; Seaboard Air Line, 18 kill ed, 165 Injured; Southern, 61 killed, 476 Injured; miscellaneous roads, 15 kill ed, 51 Injured. These figures Include passengers.employes and trespassers. There were really 35 employes killed and 492 Injured; 5 passengers killed and 143 Injured and 74 other persons killed and 152 Injured. During the year 387 complaints were filed with the commission against railroads covering a great variety of grievances, most of which have been disposed of. Some were for failure to keep passenger scbed ules bulletin arrival of trains, furnish cars for shipment of freight and delivery after arrival at destination. The commission says the industrial developement of the state Is reflected in the increase of the number of re sources of the banks. There are 236 state, private and savings banks, a gain of 44 over the previous year. The resources are $41,095,536, an In crease of $9,461,356 during the year. The capital stock is $1,656,815, an in crease of $721,311. The loans and dis counts for the year were $25,287,000, a gain of $4,518,692. There are 50 na tional banks in the state with $3,975, 000 capital. Five of these were organ ized during the year with a combined capital of $47o,000. The resources of the national banks increased over five millions of dollars during the year. The report as tax commission shows the total assessed valuation of property In the state to be $75,373, 333. Two thousand, eight hundred and twenty-five persons in the state reported Incomes over $1,000 for tax ation, the amount being $2,798,895, as compared with $2,454,504 for 1904.

Olberg, Albert Lea, Minn. Mrs. Henrietta C. Olberg, superinten dent Flax and Hemp Exhibition at the Omaha Exhibition, writes from Albert Lea, Minn., as follows : "This spring I contracted an aggra vating cold, having been exposed to the damp weather. Catarrh ot my throat and bead followed, which persisted in remaining, notwithstanding I applied the usual remedies. " Reading of the merits of Peruna in the papers, I decided ieo try it and soon found that all that- Las been said of your medicine in sucr cases is true. " I am very pleased with the satisfac tory results obtained from using Peruna, am entirely well, and consider it a most valuable family medicine." HENRIETTE C. OLBERG. Summer colds require prompt treat' ment. They are always grave, and sometimes dangerous. The prompt ness and surety with which Peruna acts In these cases has saved many lives. A large dose of Peruna should be taken at the first appearance of a cold in summer, followed by small and oft Tepeated doses. There is no other rem edy that medical science can furnish, so reliable and quick in its action as Peruna. Address The Peruna Medicine Com pany, Columbus, Ohio, for a free book entitled "Summer Catarrh," which treats of the catarrhal diseases peculiar to summer.
