He is greatly pleased with his prospects, and his candidacy is rapidly gaining ground. Gf.C. Shaw,Superintent of the Mary Potter Memorial School, colored, is a very industrious gardener.having been one of the early birds in the strawberry market.

The results of the recent con ventions in matter of the race for Solicitor shows: n-j t o - . .. 2 " Jp 4 J K O fa CQ Durham . 0 0 34 0 Person ..13 5 10 Orange ."0 19 0 0 Alamance 2 30 6 0 Guilford . 58 . ' 0 0 0 Total . 61 52 45 10 These figures do not give the exact vote, not being given in fractions, but it is within 1 vote of stating the situa tion exactly. Three counties, Dur ham, Alamance arid Person have had their conventions, and Orange, Guil ford and Granville will have theirs very shortly. But the forecast for Guilford and Orange is accurate for the reason that an agreemeut exists be tween the candidates that will give the results as indicated. The Australianf ballotv system is used in Greensboro. This system . requires that each candi datedeposit $5, with a letter over his own signature announcing his candid acy, in the event that he runs for any office. If he does not do this 5 days before the convention, his name cannot be put in the ballot,and only the names on the ballot can be voted for. This gives Guilford's sold vote to Hobgood, since the otheT candidates have agreed not to register their candidacy. Though not under the Australian Sys tem, the Durham and Orange vote was likewise agreed up. Fuller re ceived the solid Durham vote, which is 34, and Gattis will receive the united Orange support, which will be 19 votes. As will be seen, the strength of the various candidates is: . . Hobgood 61, Gattis 52, Fuller 45, and Bradsher 10. Granville is yet to be heard from, and the candidates are very anxious to hear what she has to say about her 32 votes. The total vote in the convention is 200 even. Oak Hill Items. f From Last Week.1 We are glad to state at the present we don't know of any sickness in our section. - Some of us are undecided about prohibition in this section and J don't know what do about it. We are glad to say that most all the public roads are in good fix now as they have been worked all over the whole country. We are sorry to see the money pan ic closing in on us and think this will be a dull year for trade all over the whole country as it is election year. We are sorry to say it has been about 25 days since we have had rain enough to wet the land, and it is get ting so hard that we can't plow it. Wheaf and oat crops are looking well at this time. .We don't think ve will have but very little frost in this sec tion owing to the early blooming. Some few farmers have finished planting corn in this section and some are about half done planting.but others have not planted any up to this date. The rumor is that most of the farmers have nice plant beds and a full supply of them so far. Some few have plants large enough to set out. Corn is 50 ?ents per bushel higher at this season than it was last year at the same time and we think it will soon go to five dollars per barrel. Meat sides and shoulders, home cured are worth 10 to 12c perpound, hams, 13 to 15c. It seems that chickens are very scarce in our neck of the back woods. Eggs are coming in very scarce at present.

The death Angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt Stem, Thursday morning, April the 30th, and took from their midst their little babe who was only seven months old. The little baby had been a sufferer all it's life and the Lord saw fit to take it to its Heavenly Home where it could rest on his gentle breast Many days had its mother watched over it with anxious desire for its improvement, but the Lord had been watching with more tenderness and he desired to have it be with him in Heaven, so he sent the Angel who bore it away to its Father in Heavan. A mother, father, two sisters and two brothers, were left to weep over the empty cradle. The burial services were conducted Friday afternoon by their pastor Rev: Mr. Roberson and many relatives and friends went to pay their last Tespects and lav it to rest in the family bury, ing ground at Mr. J. R, Stem's. L.B. H. R. F. D. No. 2 Still Leads! Dear Mr. Editor: Allow me to broaden myself iust a little. I wish to thank my patrons for the interest they have taken in working the roads this year. 1 can honestly say that my road is in better condition on an aver age than I have ever had it before, with the exception "of one portioned! it. The road from Blackwell's Iron Bridge to J. W. Floyd's needs attention. - Crops are looking well owing to the cool spell we have had. I think there will be about a 'i crop of fruit. Wheat is looking fine. Farmers seem to be taking more interest in their work than ever before;there has been more hedge rows cleaned up and new grounds,and more ditching done this season than ever before. The farmers are more forward with their work than they have been in a number of years. If tne old saying ne a true one, meat is very scarce on No. 2 as I never before have seen so many collards planted. Gardens are looking well. The Car rier ha3 received several nice messes of onions and wishes to thank the giver for same. I am expecting my first garden peas from my friend Mr. A. "A. Crews, as he is yet in the lead. While Mr. Robt. T. Crews has' him . beat on a tobacco crop as on the 4th day of May Mr. Crews wed out a portion of his crop; another bird looks for the worm. Mr. William Allen Moss finished planting tobacco on the first day p May and also roplanted. While our friend Mr.Tom W.Hunt,the champion watermelon raiser, has worked his vines the second time. If the present cold spell lets them escape he will furnish you melons the 24th of June. There is some talk of one of the Carriers from this office buying him an automobile to carry-mail with. So patrons,! want to say this much to you when you are ploughing near the road side be sure and have good lines on your oxen or else they will get scared and go. to the bushes. With best wishes tjp all, as ever, Your friend, W. H. MOORE, Carrier No. 2 Prof. Walker to Speak. On the 12th instant Prof. N. W. Walker,""State Inspector of Hih Sohools, will speak to the people of Stovall. Prof. Walker is doing very valuable work in educational lines,and a good crowd will no doubt be present to hear him. His speech will be in advocacy of the special tax election to be held on the 26th. . FOR fine variety of flower cuttings and tomato plants apply to Mrs. R. t: Smith. : MOVING OF BUSY THRONG.
