Newell Makes Inspection 1 Gives Washington Birthday Party to and Finds Fine Conditions "You the Horner Cadets of Her Sunday can make Anything You Want," He ; School Class Saturday. Savs' i On last Saturday, Mrs. A. H. Pow- Jlr. F. B. Newell,wlio has just been ell of Oxford, gave a Washington iu Granville for the purpose of mak- birthday party to her Sunday school dug an investigation inct the soil - class. The local correspondent of conditions has found conditions oi the News & Observer gave the fcl sucih a nature to make every citizen lowing account of it: feel good. Mr. -Newel! arrived, last j Saturday afternoon from 3:30 to 6 Tuesday week and made two cufu o'clock, Mrs. A. Hamilton Powell en ent examinations, out; at Berea and ; teitained at a Washington' birtnday the other near the farm of ex-commLs party, complimenaary to her Sunday eioner.Ed. C. Harris. After a co-n&id-; school class of Horner Cadets. The crable poking into the ground in 1 reception rooms were all thrown op- spite of the sleet and humidity ne : was much gratified at the result. : TVllkino- tr Q ronnrtov iilct fle he va getting ready to take the Seaboard train Thursday afternoon, he said: 'lt is possible to make auyahiug you I want to make. I was surprised that j Granville has such a rich sub-soil as i you have." Mr. Newelh reports that our sub- j soil is mucLi better than me average, ; i'.nd that the farm lands can be eas- ; ily made to produce any crop that : the farmers care to. We can use j green manures, clovers, and make a soil as deep as is wanted. ! When asked about the agricultural ; prospects for 15)10, the demonstrator said that the farmers are taking a great deal; more interest than they ever have before :that the farmers of Granville are leading them all in I meir interest as evidenced. He nas been in twentv counties from Hvde ! to Granville and has attended more tnan forty meetings since Christmas, : and finds good old GranvlIEe about the most interested of them all. Mr. Newell expects the average of yield of corn for the county to be about 20 bushels this year which is ahead of records of the past. The av- t-rage the" p jneld for North Carolina for st 30 years has been but 14 J -2 bushelfe; for the year 3 908 it was IS 1-2 and for li09 it was but 16 1-2. Granville has always been backward in corn production, coming barely up to the average yield, producing- a- tout lo 1-2 or lb bushels. And tlnis year a 20 bushel average means ma ny and many a dollar more than the past has brought forth. Mr. Newell is work-ins in the inter- est of the Northeastern Party,whach is unaer the auspices of the state government and of the United Stat es Department for the Seed Cora se lection campaign now being operat ed. He went from Oxford to High Point and Liberty where he 'had similar work to do.

Roy ster, who is a campaigner cf no mean .ability and who has ever been a fighting and working Democrat w-as an unsuccessful aspirant for the nomination two years ago, and his friends now present him as the logi cal candidate to redeem the district. . So far Gen. Royster and Dr. George ' A. Meb&ne are the only avowed can didates for the nomination, but there are several other distinguished gen tlemen in the district who would be glad to receive the honor. With a united Democracy there can be no -doubt as to redeeming the district, and it is the duty of the party to get together and unite on the strong est man as the standard-bearer. The sad experience of 1908 teaches us that, with a divided household, - we coulci not elect the strongest and most brilliant man who could be ' named for the office.

STREET CLEANING WEEK. Mayor Brummitt Sets From March 10 to the 17th Inclusive as the Week Indicated for Work. To the Citizens of Oxford: At the rqareest of the ladies of the Villi age Improvement Society and with the approval of the Board oi Town Ccmnnssioners, I hereby desig nate and set apart the week of MARCH 10-17 AS CLEANING WEEK foi tne town of Oxford. This date is selected because Maixsh. 10th is Civx'c Ly throughout the United States an the ladies, of this Society feel that the day could not be better kept than by devoting it and the week thereaf ter to a thorough cleaning up of the town,. During the week set apart fo-' thi.s purpose the citizens of the to w n are earnestly requested to clean up their premises, p Facing the trash, pa per and refuse matter so collected oi. Hie streets in front of their hour, and places of business. As fast as i'. can be done, this trash will be tak en away by the town carts and by wagons which several of the men bers of Improvement Society have offered to furnish for this purpose- The carts and wagons may not be able to remove the trash as rapidly as iit is placed on the streets and it is possible that some cf it may be overlooked. If any citizen finds it has not been removed from in front of his house within a reasonable time alter ha van g been placed there, a re quest for its removal preferred to the Mayor or the Chief of PoKce will be promptly attended to. i trust that no citizen of the town will neglect this most important mat ter of cltaning his premises during the week designated.. Besides adding to the beauty of his own place and thus increasing- the general appear ance of tho town, a taoi ugu ' -ai.:n?-up of the tcv.n will M?:-out dci.b: be an impo-rtaait element in the promo tion of its heaifc-hfulness. Let every citizen do all within his power to aidT the ladites of thesociety who are so Patriotically seeking to uplift and improve our community. Dennis G. Brummitt, Mayer. EOY BADLY INJURED. Son of Mr. C. J. Cooper, cf Fayettfc- vilte Sustained Serious Accident With Cartridge Last Week. The Fayetteville Observer last week told of a serious accident that befell the little son of Mr. C. J. Cooper. Oxford people wall be distressed to learn of the unto-ward happening. The Observer sadd: Master Edward Cooper, ten years of age, the bright little sen of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cooper met with a ter r-7ble accident at his home on Green 4tie-v.t yesterday afternoon, when a dynamite cartridge exploded in his hand, sevieral pieces of the shell en tering his body; the most serious wound, however, being in h;3 r.g'ht eye, a piece of the shell; penetrating through the upper lid. Dr. Lilly, the eye spec-iallisit, decided it was best to . take the cihild to Baltimore, to consult with Dr. Wood the famous specialist, and he and the father iett vdth the little fellow on the Palmet to Limited' at 10:10 o'clock last n Jjht Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon no word had been received from them. "While at school yesterday, Master Cooper saw several boys with brass cartridges, about the size of a 22 call bre rifle cartridge, but twice as long and apparently empty. He want ed one, and was told tnat there was. a box of them in Capt. S. M. Bcas ley's yard, on Maiden Lane, wihich had been removed from Mr. B-eaaley's road master's office, just before that building was destroyed by fire ear ly yesterday mornung. It seems that these innocent looking little things, are brass caps, containing nitro-gly-ceiine, and are used in exploding dy namite, and are part of the supplies of a ra'lway roadmaster"s office. As scon as school was out, Mas ter Cooper hurried to Capt. Beas Tey's, and secured several of the caps He then went home and while the cook was getting dinner for hiim, he went out on the rear piazza, secured a nail and jabbed it down into the cartridge, which exploded, wa:h the result as tclld above. It is a great wonder that ether bos did not nieet with similar accidents, and pa rents should be careful to see that none of their children have any of these terrible li'tdfe explosives. We sincere trust that Dr. Wood can restore the sight cf the injured eye of" our Iffttle friend. ANONYMOUS LETTERS. Numbers of Unsigned Communica tions Have Been Received and Had to be Refused.

Was Formerly Miss Fannie Landis, Daughter, of Late Captain A. Lan dis Buried in Greensboro. Tlie people of Oxford were greatly shocked this week upon learning oi the death of Mrs. W. I. Anderson, of Greensboro, which sad event td place last Saturday afternoon at O'clock. Mrs. Andersen had been ap parently in the best of healtih un til the preceding Thursday when she made a slight compiiaint. From, then she gradually grew worse until her deatth occurred at the thne indicat ed. Tjhe deceased was a daughter of the late Capt. A. Landis and in her girlhood days one 'of the belles ot Oxford. She was married to Mr. W. 1. Anderson about nine or ten years ago and leaves him with a little dau S liter to mourn her loss. The funeral services, were conduct ed from St. Andrews' Episcopal Church in Greensboro by the Rev. S. R. Guignard on Sunday afternoon and the entemnent was made in Green Hill cemetery. Nearly all Mrs. Anderson's brothers and sisters were in attendance upon the funeral. Among them were: Col. and Mrs. William Landis. Ox ford; Mr. Chas. H. Landis, of Ox ford; Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Landis. of Charlotte; Miss Anna Landis, of Wil liston, Fla; Mr. E. G. Landis, of Hen derson; Mr. Leak Landis of" Texas; and Miss Augusta Landis, of Durham. R NEW SCHOOL. Superintendent of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner Confers With Graded School Board About Suitable Build ing. Last week the Hon. J. Y. Joynei' came to Oxford and held a conferenc with the graded school board with reference to pians and finances for a suitable structure to replace the present wooden building. The plans of the board are not matured and nothing definite has been done as yet though it is more than probably that a $20,000 bulling will be erected dur ing the summer. The demands are so urgent that the board feels the necessity of going forward with all tbe proper dispatch. The members are going over the situation careful ly working out the necessary details, and wilfc give out the results wihen these have been satisfactorily work ed out. ABOUT STOVALL. Observer Says Stovali is Planning New Industries and That it wants the Plow. The en terprizing, citizens of Stovali are planiitingtor oiie or more new ma: ufacturing enterprises for their town. For a number of years the lumber in terests have been important factors in the commercial energy of the place. A large part of the purchas able titmber has been exhausted, and the people are lookikig for some oth er source of revesiue to replace bha.t formerly coming from lumber plants. Just such condition's as this seem ne cessary to call ont the latent energy of a people and give, them) an opnortu nity to show the temper of their steel. This has been noted again and again in the case of fires or other seeming calamities- to towns and cit ies. If the inhabitants have been of the right kind, these setbacks have been tunned into stepping stones to better, higher, and more prosper ous tilings. The new roads to Gratsy Creek Church and to Mountain Cheek Eridge are expected to be of great benefit to Stovali. One of the greatest drawbacks to the town wti.fc however, is fortunately only a tempo rary condition, .is the large anount of uncuiftivated land in its immediite vicinity. When this is put under the plow and that already cultivated is made to produce two or three times as much as it now does, Stovali will be a prosperous business center of two or tlhree thousand inhabitants. PRESS BROKE DOWN. Piece of ths Machine Was Fractured and Caused Considerable Loss of Time Last Week. We came near having no Ledger at ali last week. Just after we had our matter set up, ki the forms, and actually en the press, a part cf the machine broke down, and it tock nearly two days to get it fixed. Of course, the paper was. great it' belated but after a time the damage was repaired. WAREHOUSE PROPERTY SOLD. Mr. Crawford Kobgood Has Purchas ed Johnson Warehouse and Mr. Z. W. Lyon will Retire Frem Business An important real estate deal was made last week when Mr. S. Craw ford Hob good purchased the Johnson Warehouse, owned by Mies Helen Crenshaw, of Louisburg, for many years occupied by Mr. Lyon. Mr. Lyon has decided to retire from the warehouse business after having en gaged in it for the past 16 years-Mr. Hobgood has not decided as to what his future intentions are though va rious rumors have been circulated. About Growing Things. A lady of the Village Improvement Society has with a great deal of care and judgement prepared an article ; for the Ledger allbng the lines of plant culture and care. It is written ' for this immediate section and will be found of especial value frc.n that standpoint as well as for its general ; merits. It will be found in another column.

A Good Deal of Corn Was Brought in By the Farmers nad a Selection Was Made Discussion by Visitors on Culture of Corn and Fertilizers. Tuesday was very disagreeable, wet clay, but seventy-live or more farm ers braved the inclement wtatner and came to Oxford to have Prof. C. R. Hudson, oi the Department of Agricul cure, and Mr. F. B. Newel, select their seed corn, and to hear talks made by those gentlemen. Mr. Otho jJaiiiel local demonstrator, who was with them estimates that from 4J to o0 ears cf corn were brought u-lojig- by 15 or 20 rarineis and mat a number appeared with smaller (juan tities. Mr. Hudson talked on the cost of production of ccm, Mr. NeWtli a buut the chief fertilizers fur corn and Mr. Hudson later spciKe upon tn-j selection of seed corn. Tliose gentlemen told the farmers present that a cylindrical ear was desired, one of the same size at both ends, with adeep grain, or as much cob as can be with the deep grain. If of a white variety, the ve ry whitest ears should be selected be cause this is an evidence of sound ness. They advise that each farmer breec. up his corn rather than obtain it elsewhere. He can tniis acclimate it and it will be better suited to the particular climate, soil, and the me luods of cultivation than any other and will naturally be of more vatu The fact that a one ear variety coi be bred into a 2 tar was foicibly urg ed upon the listeners. The lecturers made a sieciial point cf urging the land built tp so as not to need fertilizers. They advocate building it up wvth clover, peas, and stated that a little acid phosphate was about all that was needed. Mr. Newell to a reporter re-affirmed his conclusions as to the sub-soil of Granville, and his idjas cf the po tent powers of the Land. 111 SHARON NOTES. Mr. Alfred Sherman. Has Been Quite Sick Mr. McFarland Has Suf fered Relapse Other News in Com munity. Mr. Alfred Sherman one of Gran ville's oldest and best citizens was ta en suddenly, and critically ill some days ago, but aI3 were delighted to see hirn at church Sunday at Sha ron. Mr. Luther McFarland, who has been sorely afflicted for many years', a month ago was thought to be ou the road to recovery, bat since then he has lost much that he had gain ed, and is now not able to sit up even in his invalid chair. He is a bright, noble, young man, and all are anxious for his recovery. The recent few warm days have caused the many large wheat fields in this section to put on a good ap pearance. The oat crop is thought to be damaged some by the cold wea ther. Mr. Webb Knott lost a few days ago, his highly prized fa mil; horse. 1 1 - was 32 years old. . For nearly two years, the old hu-rse ha,d not beei able to work; but Mr. Knott, like a humanitarian, treated the old nor so v. ith the utmost kindness; in consid eration of his va.Iua.fcle services, iu y-gene years. This was right. One of tile great sins of our times is'CrueiJty to brutes. There is nev er a grand jury impaniieled at any of our courts, that docs their full, sworn duty. They ought to indict do: zens of men each court, for cruelty to brutes. Hcrses are worked mail they cannot do good service and thn are given up to by abused, or starv ed to death. Many youi.g horses end mules are worked, beat, and starved until they die. In spite of the terrible muddy roadt a good sized congregation assembled at Sharon church Ijast Sabbath, arnl listened attentively to a te lk, (per haps too long) on Foreign Missions. , The speaker was intensely earnest in the presentation of the subject.
