SOMETHING TO CROW
BR.
We bought more tobacco of
the last crops 'than all the
other warehouse firms in Ox
ford combined and have sold
nearly all of our last years
purchases.
We expect to buy more of
the new crop than the other
three warehouse firms com
bined. We will leave it to any sound
thinking man if this does not
give us the advantage of any
warehouse in Oxford.
We said at the beginning of
last season we wanted more
than ONE MILLION pounds
ourselves and we bought more
than ONE MILLION. -We say
now that we want 2,000,000
pounds out of this crop. The
truth is we are in position
second to no firm in Oxford or
in the State to get you the
oream of the market.
Our buyers are now more
anxious for new tobacco than
we have seen them for quite
a number of years and the
Farmers Warehouse is prob
ably in better condition to take
care of your interest than it
has ever been since it was
built.
Ourwarehouse force is made
up of the best. They are as
follows: L. W. Stark and S.
M. Watkins auctioneers, S.M.
Watkins will manage the floor,
Wesley Bryan and Thos. How
ell will keep the books and J.
F. Meadowswiil see that every
pile of tobacco brings the high
est market price. Gome one,
come all and be convinced.
Thanking you for all the
past patronage, and promising
you service second to no one
in the future,we beg to remain

The Democrats are waking up
and getting on their fighting clothes
in most communities. Democrats are
determined that Marlon Butler shall
not be dictator In North Carolina,
and the way to prevent this disgrace
Is to go and vote for the Democratic
nominees. The work must be done
before and at the election. After the
election regrets are useless.
Don't see much In accusing the
Radicals of being pie hunters. No
good Democrat will turn down an
office and for every oflice In the land
we want a good Democrat. Wouldn't
it be pie If we could have It that way
from President to constable? The
trouble with the Republicans Is that
their scramble for pie is conspicuous
ly scanda ous. Wilmington Star
livery loyal Democrat In Gran
ville county should work unceasing
ly from now until the polls close on
election day for-the success of bis par
ty ticket In this county, 'ongresslonal
and Senatorial district and the
State. The Democratic party Is tru
ly "the party of good government."
Let's do what we can to contlnne
this.
The canvass being made by the
Republican candidates In this county
Is about the greatest failure of any
thing that has gone down the polltl
cal pike In a longtime. In the mean
time the Democrats are making a
whirlwind canvass of the several pre
cincts and have the largest crowds
that have attended their appoint
ments in years.

The Republicans In Granyille are do
lng all they can to defeat two of our
old line, true bluenever-glve-up Dem
ocratic tighter, Messrs. Wllkersonand
Gregory, candidates for commissioner!-,
and for this reason we urge every
De mocrat to do his full duty In the
coining election.
We are glad to say that the Demo
cratic campaign Is the best we have
had In years and continues to grow
In interest and the people are alive to
the Issues so ably discussed by our
candidates for the Legislature. It Is
with pride that they speak of the fine
record of Democratic Administration
In Granville, which has been clean
and progressive, and In spite of epi
demics of srualipox and washing
away of bridges Improvements were
m.'ide at the county home and repair
ing anil repainting the Court House
the tax rate has been reduced and
stiii thecounty has $7,000 to Its credit

top showing. The public sehools

have nourished under good old Dem
ocratic rule as never before, many
new school houses built, school dis
tricts consolidated and school terms
Increased. And yet the tax rate Is
lower than when Fusion BUI Royster
Rule gave way to safe, competent
Democratic rule.
Before making up your mind to
vote the Republican ticket bear In
mind that your Interest will be far
better served by Democratic champ
Ions of good government.
In speaking of the campaign the
editor Is pleased to learn that In
spite of the bad weather Saturday
the candidates weregreeted by about
200 voters at Wilton, and after the
announcements of the county candi
dates Gen. B. S. Royster and Senator
Hicks gave the audience the benefit
of good old Democratic doctrine,
which was warmly received. They
make conservative speeches devoid
of a.huse, but at the same time deal
the Republicans some heavy blows
by showing up the bad record of the
Republican party.
The candidates braved the mud
wave Tuesday and went out to Oul
breth and were met by 31 voters and
some good work was put In for the
Democratic cause.
The Democratic boys were at Bul
lock Wednesday and stirred up the
Democrats of that precinct and they
will be found doing tbelr full duty on
election day. This Thursday they
are at the Democratic strong hold of
Brea and will be met by as enthu
siastic crowd of Democratic workers
are In the county, and a good old
tltue will be had. Today ( Friday )
the candidates will talk to the people-
of Stovall and good old Demo
cratic doctrine will be preached to
the people of that section. They will
mji doubt be greeted with a good
fifr-vo.
."hey will close the second week of
tl& campaign at Stem Saturday, and
fe,-l sure the candidates will meet with
a warm reception at the hands" of the
good government loving people of
that section, and result In a regular
Democratic love-feast at the home of
rank Republicans.
Democrats rally around the boys,
fight hard for continued good gov
ernment In county and State. Don't
be a kicker because everything does
not exactly suit you, but fall In line
with the Democratic hand wagon as
the boys are going to ride In upon a
triumphant Democratic wave.

candleslplaced in handsome candle
lahra, at each end of the table. Just
before the departure of the guests

Advice For Father.
An editor with those old fashioned
notions, sent out a reporter to inter
view 30 successful business men. and
he found that all of them were boys
who had been governed strictly and
frequently thrashed. He also Inter
viewed 30 loafers and learned that 27
of them had been "mama's darllnj?"
and the other three had beep rearejf
by their grandmothers. The moral
of this would seem to be that the
father should rush his "kid" Into the
woodshed and thrash him severely.
