OXFORD PUBLIC LEDt xER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 61907 THE OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER BY JOHN T. BRITT. ONE YEAR -SIX MONTHS SI 25 - 75 Entered through Oxford, N. C, Post Office aa mail matter or the second ciass, m awwa ance with the Act of congress, Marcn a, Mrs. A. Rossner, of Goodhue.Miss., cn the 9,0th nf November, became the mother of the sixth pair of twins since 1 SVja is now the mother of 25 children. The Georgia Court of Appeals has handed down a decision holding that a common carrier does not fulfill its It-gal duty until it provides a seat for each passenger. The Baptist State Convention will meet in the First Baptist church at "Wilmington December 5th. A large body of laj'tnen and preachers will be in attendance. Many important mat ters will come up for consideration, chief among them being temperance. The Charlotte Observer remarks: "it is estimated that an inland ship canal from Beaufort to Xorfolk would cost 835,000,000. Such a canal would be exceedingly valuable to North Caro lina-Virginia commerce; in fact to the commerce of the South Atlantic section w"th the world." Southern Railway stock now looks like 30 cents in sternest literalness, for preferred is ranging in fractions just above 29 cents on the dollar. Common stock brings only a little more than 10 cents on the dollar. The Southern's enemies ought to , hold a jollification meeting. Charlotte Observer. i President Roosevelt has invited the Governors of the States and Territories to meet him at the White House May lo.h, 14th and 15th next, to discuss the question of means to conserve the natural resources of the country. In vitations are to be extended to the members of both houses of Congress and to the inland waterways commis sion. . Use Only Newspapers. The Retail Merchants' Association of Newcastle, Ind., has placed a ban on all advertising scfeemes save the newspapers alone. They declare that programs, business directories, circu lars, handbills and other devices de signed to separate the merchant from his cash are stale, flat and' utterly un profitable, and therefore a weariness to the flesh. They also assert that if the retail merchants will quote prices they can show their readers that goods are sold at home as cheaply as they can be bought of mail order houses, and generally of better quality. Three Important Things. Three to lovecourage, gentleness, affection. Three things to admire intellectual power, dignity' and grace fulness. Three thing to hate Cruelty, vengeance, ingratitude. Three things to delight in beauty, frankness, free dom. Three things to wish for health, friends and a cheerful' spirit. Three things to pray for peace, faith,purity of heart. Three things to like good humor, mirthfulness and home. Three things to avoid idleness, loquacity, flippant iesting. "Three things to cul tivate good books, good friends, and good humor. Three things to contend for honor country, friends. Three things to govern temper, tongue.con duct. Three things to think about life, death, eternity. "The United Democracy of the Dis trict of Columbia" gave a banquet ami reception to the Hon. William J. Uryan at the Hotel Raleigh in Wash ton and it was attended by a large and enthusiastic assembly; Col. Bryan de fined the difference between the Dem ocratic and Republican parties.and de clared that President Roosevelt was not a Democrat but Democratic in spits. The Mississippi Supreme Court has decided that the objurgation "Go to hell," is not profanity. "The sentence Go to hell,'" wrote Justice Calhoun in delivering the courts opinion, con veys an invitation which the person addressed need not unless he is inclined to do so." Incidentally it may be re marked that the cusser in whose favor this decison was rendered is a girl 12 years old' In an address on Southwest Virginia Day at the Jamestown Exposition President D. K. Johnson of the Nor folk & Western Railway said that du ring 1906 there were raised in the counties of Southwestern Virginia lying south and west of the Blue Ridge mountains 187,578 head of cattle as eessad at $2,094,192, 139,198 sheep assessed at $266,089 and 100,971 hogs assessed at $126,204. Don't let us lose our nerve during the 1907 panic, which evidently must bo the shortest lived panic of all those experienced in this country. The con ditions seem to be against any prolong ed money stringency but no doubt the high water mark in prices has been reached and there must be a recession in tli at particular. The simple fact of the matter is that the cost of living had reached a point beyond the in crease in salaries and wages that would make fnings even up. In a negro church at Greenville, S. C, recently, the pastor read a "black list" which contained the names of many of the most prominent white peo ple in the city, it being alleged that they "were hard to work for." Fact is the white people got to serving out each meal to their cooks and then lock ed the pantry. This made the husbands oftb.3 cooks very. mad. The people have very few cooks now, as the above church has a membership of 800 and the cooks are keeping up the boycott. Subscribe to the -Public Liedger. j Farmers and Politicians. If the real farmers could only come to understand that they are' the princi pal sufferers from the politician a great advance would be made toward dimin ishing the curse of the average politics, i oiiticians are tne most expensive products of this country. I hey cost more than anything else in raising and they are worth less than anything else in using. Ihey are responsible for the horde of officeholders, about six office-holders for every necessary job that could be accomplished by, one competent, whose salaries or fees keep the pockets of the farmers in moth- eaten condition or are the source of almost countless streams of petty cor ruption, demoralizing the whole body politic. In addition, they are respon sible through legislation tor the fasten ing upon the statute-books of unneces sary, dangerous and costly laws. There must be office-holders in this countrj, but at present they are a curse to the country because of their swollen numbers, their incapacity and their virtual dishonesty. Southern Farm Magazine. Question of Farming and Labor. A decided tendency toward smaller farms and a steady increase in the value of farming lands in practically all the counties of North Carolina is a notable feature of a summarjr of reports from farmers all oyer the state just compiled in the office of the commis sioner of labor and printing. The summary shows, too, that farmers in ninety-six counties report negro labor unreliable, one reliable and one county no negro labor at all. The county re porting no negro labor was Graham. Fifty-two counties in the state favor immigration and fortj-six oppose it. The summary shows that farmers in ninety-seven counties report increase in the cost of Jiving and one no in crease. Highest wrages reported paid men for farm work is $25, an increase of $3.35 cents higher than the lowest last year. Wages reported as paid women range from $10 to $15 per month. Ninety-two counties report in crease in wages and six no increase. There is a summary showing that sixty-nine counties produce cotton at a cost of $34.57 per bale; seventy-eight counties produce wheat at a cost of seventy-six cents per bushel; ninety- eight counties produce corn at fifty cents per bushel; fifty counties produce oats at tliirty-six cents per bushel; fif ty-one counties produce tobacco at $7 87 per hundred pounds.
