Elegant Music Heard in the Oxford Churches Sunday, Last Sunday was Easter, the mem ory which Is made glorious by the triumphant resurrection of a Risen Christ.' In all Chrlsendom it Is the most glorious of all mornings. It is commemorative of triumph, of vic tory, of peace, of joy, and of freedom and deliverance. It Is tne only vic tory ever gained over death and sin and the grave. To the christian It should be the sweetest of all days. In Oxford the day was celebrated with appropriate services In three of our churches. The day was an Ideal one for opening of Spring, the air was balmy and all nature was beginning to unfold her robes of richest beauty beyond the power of art to paint. At St. Stephen's Episcopal Church the preparations were elaborate and the service most Impressive and beau tiful. The chancel was adorned with lovely zallas, roses, palms, and other plants. . The vested choir, 20 In num ber, entered from the front door fol lowed by Rev. Francis. Hllllard who officiated at the services. The rendi tions by the well trained choir were beautiful and the music throughout the service was p mong the best ever heard In Oxford. The violins played by Masters James Taylor and Marsh Ray and Miss Llllle White and Miss Humphries added to the splendid music furnished by Mrs. R. W. Lassl ter who presided at the large organ. After the Impressive Easter service Rev. Francis Hllllard preached an ap propriate sermon on the resurrection at the close of which he administered Holy Communion. Special Easter services were also held at the Methodist Church Sunday morning. Some special music had been prepared by the choir which was well rendered with Mrs Kate Hays Fleming at the organ. Rev. F. M. Shamburger afterwards delivered an Impressive and eloquent sermon to an appreciative congregation. Services were also held at the Bap tist Church morning and night. Rev. Mr. Love, of Atlanta, Assistant Sec retary of the Home Mission Board, delivered aneffectlve sermon on home missions both at the morning and night services. The special Easter services held at night, and mapy beautiful selections were given. Mr Hubert Poteat, of Wake Forest, pre sided at the organ to the pleasure of all who heard him. He also rendered a beautiful violin solo to the greatde llght of the large congregation. Mr. I'oteat Is an excellent musician and seems able to perform on organ, vio lin or almost any Instrument with equal skill. He Is always gladly wel comed to Oxford. Mr. Darius Eat man was at home from Wake Forest and assisted In the music. A large contribution for home mis sion was taken. Compliments Bill Kitchin and A W. Graham, True Men of the People. Edltorof News & Observer. I have just read that great speech of my young friend, Will Kitchin, In opposi tion to tne subsidy Tor the Southern Railroad. Ninety-five out of every hundred of North Carolina Demo crats are with him in this matter. He Is the type of lawyer that I have so much admiration for. I have no doubt he could have gotten ten thousand or more to have espoused the other side of this bill; but thank God he Is not made that way. 1 1 ow different I have seen It In the Legisla ture of North Carolina. " In the Leg lslature of 1903 I was on a visit to Raleigh and was Invited by an old farmer friend who was a member of the House to go over to the Senate, to witness a contest over a bill in troduced by Durham county's repre sentative to compel the railroad to build a suitable depot In Durham. In that fight 1 found three of the bright est lawyers In theeastern part of our State pleading with all the power they could muster to defeat this most righteous measure. I said to my old friend: "What does it mean that our eastern attorneys here as Senators are fighting for the railroad against the Interest of the people?" His re ply was "They are retained by the railroad; that Senators here often get more from the railroad fighting one bill than the State pays them for the whole term. Now we have only 50 members In our Senate. The 7 or 8 Republican Senators are always on the side of railroad and corporations. The railroads generally succeed In electing ten or twelve of their own attorneys as Senators, so you can readily see that they have only to re tain 7 or 8 to defeatany measure that may be passed by that more repre sentative body called tbe House." We had In both branches of the last Legislature some splendid lawyers men of the highest type, but they were In the minority and not admir ed by the class that can be retained by the railroads after they have been elected to the Legislature. I was asked by one of the latter class If I did not think Judge A. W. Graham was "a great obstructionist." My reply was, "Your diagnosis is Incor rect. I consider him a destructlonist of more bad legislation than any other member of the House; that he Is always on the people's side, and his great legal ability and long expe rience enables blm to detect tbe evil trend of bad bills and fight them from the beginning. The people of Gran- yllle county can do tbe State no greater service than to keep him In the Legislature as long as they can get him to serve. I trust you will continue to keep this matter of who will represent us in the Senate belore the people, and that the next Senate will not be un der the control of railroads. J. J. Latjghinghousr. Greenville, N. C, April 14. The annual Easter picnic at Prov ldence is always an enjoyable affair, and looked for with a great deal of pleasure by the good people of that section.

Lillian Sizemore Rnn Over by a Train and Badly Wounded. A heart-rending accident occurred here Friday afternoon In which Lill ian Sizemore.a nine year old girl, was seriously wounded. With her little cousin, Mamie Moore, eleven years old, she was walking across the. trestle on tbe Seaboard railroad in East Oxford just as the engine and twocoaches were backing from the Seaboard depot to cross the trestle. Mamie Moore saw the danger they were in and leaped to the ground. dis tance of twenty leet and was hurt about her hip. Lillian Stzemord re mained on the trestle and was knock ed down by the rear coach and both coaches and engine passed over her prostrate form. One baud was out stretched across the rail and was completely crushed; the right arm broken, right leg broken and skull fractured above the right eye. The wounded girl was taken In the arms of the fireman to the nearest residence where medical assistance was summoned. Dr. B. K. Hays quickly reached the sufferer and Dr. T. L.' Booth and Dr. Williams also attended. The child was carried to the office of Dr. Hays where the wounds were treated and hand am putated. Though serlousfy hurt she has been conscious all the time and Is doing well and will recover. The flagman on the train as soon as. he discovered the girls on the trestle did all he could to signal the engineer to stop the train and ap plied the emergency brake but tbe grade Is so steep over the trestle It proved of no avail and the little Moore girl leaped to the ground 20 feet below while Lillian S'izmore was knocked down and run over with the above results. Engineer Allen says he has had a hard time to keep the children off the trestle In spite of the posted warn ing. It was a wonder that she was not killed out right and great sympathy Is expressed on all sides for the bra ve little girl, and the warm hearted Mr. Lonnle Smith. Oxford's splendid day policeman soon raised about $ .100 and and turned over to the widowed mother to aid her In watching over and carelng for her dear little daugh ter. The Seaboard people are doing all they can for the badly wounded girl and the officials of the road deeply regret the accident. Durham-Cole Nuptials. Another love story will reach its culmination this month. The follow ing Invitation has been Issued: Air. and Mrs. John Nelson Cole request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Lucy to The Reverend Plato Tracy Durham on the evening of Tuesday April thetwenty fourth nineteen hundred and six at eight o'clock Methodist Episcopal Church South, Rockingham, North Carolina. The Company for the People. We take much pleasure in calling special attention to the advertise ment of the Southern Life Insurance Company of Fayettevllle on 4th page of this paper. Now, when It Is re membered that the Southern Life Is breaking the world's record of life In surance In economy, and giving four fifth of the profits to its policy hold ers, It goes without saying that the wise men and women will give their life Insurance to the strong, progres sive Southern Company, whose entire assets are Invested In the building up of our long neglected Southland, the fairest domain on earth. This fine Company is now represented in the county by Colonel McDutfie. quite a pleasant gentleman, who will take pleasure In writing you the best life policy that can be written. Kitchin Almost Defeated Subsidy. The News and Observer says the vote of Messrs. Small, Pou and Gud ger, of North Carolina, gives J. Pler pont Morgan & Co. by their votes for the Southern Railroad subsidy a gift of $142,728 per year. That sum would establish 198 free rural delivery routes that are badly needed. Is It beet to give the money to the transportation monopoly or to establish rural de livery routes that help the people? The money spent In free rural deliv ery would help the South; the money voted to J. Plerpont Morgan will never get South of New York city. And so It turns out that tbe subsi dy of the Southern Railway gets only one majority, after the record Is made straight. If Mr. Pou had not chang ed his position from antl-subsldy to for subsidy, the grab would have failed. If the Democrats had elected an antl-subsldy Democrat Instead of Blackburn It would have failed.

By actual test In this county for the past 20 years Ober's has produced Tobacco that has sold for more money than anything since the Peruvian of twenty-five years ago. We give below some expres slons used by men of judgment, some from those who have used It by other Fertilizers. "I used Ober's Fertilizers continu ously until six years ago and then for personal reasons stopped using it. I am confident that I lost five thou sand dollars during the five years I used other brands. I used It again last year and made a tine crop and will use It again this year. H. E. CREWS, Watkins, N.

Is Disease a Crime ? Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong. It yvould be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements peculiar to her sex. Frequent bearing of children, with its ex acting demands upon the system, coupled with the care, worry and lalxir of rearintr a lartte family. Is often the cause of weak nesses, derangements and debility which are &&frravated by the many household cares, and the hard, and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to perform. Ir. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed rem edy for womans peculiar weaknesses and ills Ir. Pierce'sTavorite Prescription says that one of the irreatest ofwstacles to the cure of tliis class of maladies is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not gut the needed rest from her many household care and lalior to enable her to secure from the use of his "Prescription " its full benefits. It Is a matter of frenuent experience, he says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to meet with those in which his treatment fails by reason of the patient's inability to abstain from hard work hme eiioutrli to be cured. With those sufferiusr from prolapsus, ante version and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs. It is very necessary that, in addition to tak ing his " Favorite Prescription" they abstain from lieing very much, or for long periods, on their feet. All heavy 1 if tine or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much out-door air as possible, with Rioderate, light exercise is also very important. Let the patient observe these rules and the "Favor ite Prescription " will do the rest. Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pav expense of mailing tmly. Send to Dr. R.
