OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1 907. O THE OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER. BY JOHN T. BRITT. ONE YEAR - - - - - - - $1 OO SIX MONTHS 50 Entered through Oxford. N. C Post Olfice as mail matter of the second class, In accord ance with the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. Samson the First Man To Advertise. For the benefit of those who abhor printers' ink as a prime factor to the advancement of their interests, we should state that Samson the strong party was the first man to advertise. He took two solid columns to demon strate his strength, and several thous and people "tumbled" to the scheme. He brought down the house. She Got the Laugh on Him. Near Kamson's bridge in Nash couDty and way back in the seventies an old ladv who lived near Col. Arch Alston's wanted to sell her small farm and painted on a board: "This farm for sail." A traveler passing, asked "When is this farm eoinsr- to sail madam?" to which she replied by plac Eastern Training School. The State board of education had a meeting and elected trustees of the Eastern Training School which the Legislature has just established and to which $25,000 has been appropri ated on condition that the point of lo cation puts up at least a like sum. The principal point wishing the school are Greenville, Washington, Kocky Mount and Elizabeth City.

A terrific wind storm struck Rowan county March 15, doing much damage in the neighborhood of Dunn s Moun tain. During the storm Rev. X. D.

Down with the Demagogue. The Farm Magazine says there is a duty resting upon every man to do his part towards stemming this downward current, toward ignoring the extrava gant demagogues and unthinking peo pie, and in sanity of mind and soul re joice that he lives in a day of such marvelous advance over the past, a day of such wonderful comforts of civ ilization in which everybody has a chance to share, and a day of such lim itless opportunities for everybody white or black, male or female who is ready in honesty and sobriety, in faithfulness to duty and in ordinary common sense to devote themselves to their work, whether it be as a farmer, a neia nana, a manuiacturer, a me chanic, a railroad operator, or a train- rtan. Alike to all, the world holds out a more inviting: prospect, a more illuring opportunity for success than any other period in human history. Down with the false agitator; up with the sunshine and optimism of a Heav en-favored people. Harrison Convincted for Kidnaping. After being out nine hours the iury at Elizabeth City in the case of Joshua Harrison, charged with kidnapping and murdering Kenneth Beasley, the young son of btate Senator S. H. BeaS' ley of Currituck county, returned a verdict of guilty. The trial lasted five days. Two years ago Kenneth Beas ley disappeared from school taught by Miss Nina Harrison, daughter of the convicted man. Since that day not a single trace of the boy has been dis covered, although some of the best de tective ability in the country has work ed on the case. Judge Allen remarked that thejury having found the defendant guilty and the crime being; so heing; heinous, he was of the opinion that the circum stances justified the full punishment, and he thereupon sentenced Joshua Harrison to serve a term of 20 years m the fetate s prison. Mr. Beasley is depressed and does not hold very high hopes of ever re covering his boy. The Main Cause.

In some places the con duct of the railway people has been such as to make it appear they did net care for the public, and this action on ine pan 01 a iew nas anectea tnose who behave better. This is the story in a nutshell. It is claimed that the freight rate bill recently enacted into law will prove the best thing of its kind the State has ever had and will relieve a large part of the trouble. Slander. He who can choke the sweet flowers of social love, and taint them with di sease; or in the paradise of earthly bliss, where the plants 01 virtue nour ish, spread the light and mildew of desolation hatred and distrust who can crush his neighbor's fame to dust, and build on its ruins who can write infamy on the brow of others to prove hia own purity, is neither man nor beast, but a heartless fied. Those who have seen their dearest interest tamper- " ed with; who know what it is to have the priceless gem of a good name sulli ed by the poisonous breath of cold un pitying slander, these best can say, he has no heart. It the lighmng s flash ever darts from heaven to strike the guilty down, it will blast the hope of murderers such as these. Best Wifehood. The truest, best and sweetest type of the girl of today does not come from the home of wealth, she steps out from the house where is comfort rather than luxury. She belongs to the great middle class that class which has giv en us the best wifehood, which has given helpmates to the foremost men of our time; which teaches the manners of the drawing room and the practical life of the kitchen as well as teaches its girls the responsibilities of wifehood and the greatness of motherhood. These girls may not ride in their car riages they do not wear the most ex pensive gowns, they may even help to -enlarge the family income, but these self same girls are the great bulwark of society, not only of the present but of the future. But softer was my whisper As I kissed her, For t'was heaven's border land. The golden shades of sunset Softly rest upon us now, And the glow of the Eternal Is supernal As it crest her sacred brow. Do You Want to Know What You Swallow ? Time is a growing sentiment in this country in favor of medicines of known composition. It is out natural that one should have some interest in the compo sition of that which he or she is expected to swallow, whether it be food, drink or medicine. Recognizing this growing disposition on the part of the public, and satisfied that the fullest publicity can only add to the well-earned reputation of his medi cines, Dr. K. V. Fierce. 01 .Buffalo, IN. x., has "taken time by the forelock," as it were, and is publishing broadcast a list of all the ingredients entering into his leading medicines, the "Golden Medical Discovery " the popular liver invigorator, stomach tonic, olood puritier and heart regulator; aiso of his "Favorite Prescrip tion " for weak, over - worked, broken- down, nervous and invalid women. This bold and out-spoken movement on 4he part of Dr. Pierce, has. by showing exactly what his well-known medicine? are composed of. completely disarmed all harping critics who have heretofore un- lustly attacked them. A little pamphlet has been compiled, from the standard medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, showing the strongest endorsements by leading medical writers of the several ingredients which enter into Dr. Pierce s medicines. A copy 01 tms little book is mailed free to any one de siring to learn more concerning the valu able, native, medicinal plants which enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce's med icines.

US every LOOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS With Tags About the Same Color and Design As 7 This Tag The quality of the genuine sun cured tobacco used in REYNOLDS' Sun Cured and grown on soil where the best sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to be brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who do not look closely at the printing on the box and on the tag. These brands only imitate the outward appcaraixe and do not possess the genuine i?iside quality that has been found in Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Sun Cured was introduced and which has so increased the chewing of sun cured tobaccos and proven so popular, that the word " Sun Cured" is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco. Did you ever see the word "Sun Cured" used in any chewing tobacco advertisement, 01 on any chewing tobacco tag or label, or in any other way, before it was introduced and used to identify the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured ? You see it frequently now, because many imitation brands are being made to appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they dare with tag, shape of plug and style of package so similar that experienced buyers -sometimes accept these imitations as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured. Don't be decerned i7ito taking imitation brands for the genuine. Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s' Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing tobacco that caji oe produced for chewers. Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts ; strictly 10c. and lc. plugs, with chewing qualities like that which was sold from COc. to $1.00 per pound before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade.
