"4 ill r - : ": OXFORE, IM. C, FpIAY JUNE 2, 1911. IMO. 35 ME ' ; : ' ' r " " - . I LAYMEN'S MEETING. Prof. Hobgood and Capt. Devin Heard by Large Crowd at Pleasant Grove Subject Missionary Task : Prof. Hobgood and Mr. Will Devin were greeted by a very large audi ence at Pleasant Grove Church Sun day where they delivered addresses in the interest of all kinds of mis sion work. Their general theme . was christian education, and used that familiar passage of scripture which was the last command of Jesus before he ascended to his Father. "Go ye into all the World and preach the Gospel to every crea . ' ture." Both of these were master ful addresses. The speakers ex pressed themselves to thier audience as being a great pleasure to be there and address the largest au dience they had met since being in the Laymen's work. The audi ence being estimated at about six hundred people. They told their hearers that- the words of the mas ter were not meant as a suggestion, nor as a request but a direct com mand couched simple words, "Go" The speakers, then went on to ex plain that the carrying out of this great command rested not only on the ministers and officers of the Church, but also on the Laymen on the humblest members of the church of Christ and on all who profess his name. They told them that the people on the other side of the earth were their neighbors and they must be evangelized, be tween home and foreign ' missions emphasizing the fact that all who " were out of Christ, whether they were foreigner's or those living in this land needed to have the Gos pel preached to them. They told their hearers of the dangers threat - ening our own land where, out of 90,000,000, 55,000,000 are non chris tians. The speakers remarked that a chwrch that was not deeply inter ested in mission works, was a dead church. They told them that a Laymen's movement was not a separ ate organization. It was noly an out growth and an increase in knowl edge of mission work. They im . pressed their audience to obey this last command of our Savior, that it was the -giyittg of the cup of : cold water for- which God promises entrance to His Kingdom. They also remarked, there was reason why the whole world should not be v evangelized within the period of forty years, if every energy was thoroughly exercised -and money fur- ; nished, to have the work carried oflU nor. HODgooa spoice m we morning After dinner was served, Mr Devin addressed the people, and at the conclusion the pastor, Rev. Mr- Mar tin asked his church people who had confided and stood by him in his church work, to increase their amount and a committee was an nounced to collect the sum that was nromised. The addresses' oi Prof. Hobgood and Mr. Devin found j lodgment in the hearts and minds if their hearers. It was not only - food for the study of missionary work but for true Christianity. We believe these two christian Laymen are doing a great work toward aid ing our ministers in spreading the Gospel. God bless and strengthen them to continue their good work. HISTORIC TOWN VANISHING- Mississippi River Cutting Away the First Capital of Illinois. From the St. Louis Republic. Within a few months more the last traces of old "Kaskaskia,"first capital of Illinois and one of the first settlements of the white man in the valley ,will have disappeared The yellow Mississippi is steadily pulling down the land that was once a part of the town site. All that now remains is an old build ing that was once used as a "smoke house" by some of the citizens. Houses, stores, forts, church, the re mains of powder magazines, stock ades, and fortifications have all slid into the river. Kaskaskia is still on the maps of Illinois, but the town of Tonty, Garvier, Marest.and of the George Rogers Clarke expedition is at the bottom of the river. The best ef forts of the Illinois Historical So ciety failed to check the river's steady advance into the abandoned streets of the old French town. There is a curious lack of exact knowledge as to who settled this old town- Some say that it was es tablished as early as 1682 by men who were with the Chevalier de la Salle. By others it is asserted that Chevalier de Tonty planted the town there four years later. "Black , gowns," as the Indians called the priests, were the first recollection that the savages had of the white men. A few years ago the Kaskaskia, usually known as the "Okwa River,' began to cut into its western bank a mile or so above the point where it flows into the Mississippi. At high water tn"e flood from the big river began leaping across the nar row neck of land that divided the two currents. Finally the big river cut entirely across the spit of sand and rock that had separated the two and old Kaskaskia became an island. .One hundred and fifty years ago the site where the smokehouse still lingers was the seat of the largest city west of the Allegheny Moun tains. In a few months more the last of the old town will have slip ped into the river and the island that was cut off from the mainland will itself disappear. Attempting to clip the wings oi riches has landed many a man in jail. raiitmlm.Mu IJ-fc Ui. IJWhbJ i "The Girl Who Dared."

As an actress and a playwright, she is a most gifted young woman, and no novice either in acting or writ ing; as stage manager she ''had thought out each detail, and each was perfect. The cast was par excellence. Miss Burkheimer took the leading part, and in it gave herself up to its perfect impersona tion. The city is debtor to Miss Burkheimer and the genuine ap plause which greeted both nights.in dicated that it was an appreciative audience which left the Acadmey who had enjoyed a delightful even ing. Outside of the general run of high class productions the play was as good or better than any thing seen here this winter. It is a high class musical comedy, full of ginger, and from first to last, "It got the hand" of the large and, appreciative audience. It is a bright musical skit, full of music, .clever lines.and amusing ' situations.- ' Miss 5 Burkhei- actress, and , gava herself up to tne perfect impersonations of the -part, showing ease of finish and style. Graded School Teachers. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Oxford Graded School the . following teachers were elected: Mr. J. R. Conley, Superin tendent, Misses Lillian Minor, Eleanor Huske, Minnie Gray, Jea nette Biggs, Lucy Webb, Ada Jones, of Raleigh, Mrs. J. Y. Paris, and Mrs. Kate Hays Fleming. The Prin cipal will be elected June 1- Meeintg of the R. F. D. Men. The R. F. D. Men met in the Court House in Oxford May 30th., at 11 o'clck A. M.. , The devotional exercises were con ducted beautifully and impressively by the beloved F- M. Shamburger, the address of welcome was delivered in heartyful language by the worthy Mayor of Oxford, Mr. D. G. Brum mitt and the response was by the faithful carrier, Bro- B. L. Hester of Creedmoor. After these opening exercises, the audience was dismissed by the Rev. J. A. Stradley and the Association held a business meeting of a private nature. Although the attendance was small.we had a successful meet ing. Representing four counties there, were only five carriers pres ent, besides the seven Oxford men and one or two Subs. This writer as presiding officer, put forth his best efforts to get the boys out, sending as many as fifteen cards by a single mail to bring them.Some were sick and others had sickness in family and could not come. Broth ers Hight, of Hnederson, and Wyckoff of Manson were detained by sickness. But upon the whole the boys are not interested. They just think that whenever there is any raise in salary we will get it anyway and I will not join the Carriers Association. We are griev ed that our boys are so little con cerned, plenty of them were nearer us than the distance of their route and just did not have interest enough to come. So many carriers are in the service for just what they can get out of it. Delegates to the State meeting at Winston for July 3rd., and 4th-, were elected, and officers also were elected for the next year. One object of our Association is to have carriers bet ter informed and to render the best service possible. Senator A. A. Hicks, was to have made us an address but he forgot us and went to hear Governor Wilson at the University. Brother carriers try and do better in the future. Please send us your ?1.50 now for your dues to add to the small amount we have, and it will help to make a little better showing at the State meet ing. D. N. HUNT.

It seems to me that this is an op portune time to say a word to the citizens of the county in regard to the building up of their home mark ets and trade centers. We are asking the business men of the county to help build up the county fair. They are taking stock in the grounds and buildings; they are offering cash and merchandise as premiums; they are giving of their time and energy in carrying out the plans; in short they are contributing in every way possible to make the fair a success.. , JThis is not only true in regard to ' this enterprise, but they always stand ready whenever a public calamity; or private misfortune falls heavi ly on a community to hold out helping hand. These are the men appealed to whenever your poor neighbor loses a horse, or building, or the heavy hand of sickness ' is laid upon him and a pressing need is at his door. There is another side to ,'thi question. The corporations anj business firms of a county pay considerable, amount of tax for the benefit of the public institutions oi the county. The amount of course is in proportion to the volume of business transacted. To get a clear view of the case and make plain the point I am trying to bring: au,t, let us suppose there were n? towns or trade centers in Gran ville county. Let us suppose that the farmers sold all of their to bacco, and other money crops, did all their buying, and transacted all. of their business in towns in other counties. In this way they might get just as . good prices, and make just as good bargains while help ing to build up rich towns beyond tiie borders of their county. That seems all right from a .business standpoint, but here is where the pinch comes. When the commission ers begin to make up an estimate of the property for taxation, they- do not find $2,000,000 worth of proper ty in Oxford, $400,000 in Creed moor, and proportionate values in the other trade centers to swell the amount .to bring in money ; for schools, roads, and county expenses This has been all transferred 1 to other counties to help the schools and roads of those 'sections. - Grant. ficiency. " V In this I am not trying to , set the interests of the farmers and other business men of the county over against each other and show an antagonism between them. On the contrary I am trying to show the interdependence and mutual re lationship that should exist. The farmers are engaged in one line of business the merchants and profes sional men men in another. Each is necessary to the other. On the success and prosperity of the one depends to a large extent the prof its of the other. A wealthy town adds to the comfort and conven iences of every person in the countrj and a prosperous rural section will always develop a prosperous town. This being the case, I beg leave to make the following appeal to the farmers of the county, special ly to those living along the border lines between their cqunty markets and those outside: Build up your own -markets; sell your cotton, and your tobacco to your home dealers; buy your goods at your own trade centers; do your banking business with your county banks; for in so doing you add to the wealth of your county, the value of your property, the usefulness of your public insti tutions, and the opportunity yjoi your children.

Judd, who was sent to Porto Rico to investigate the laws and conditions in the is lands by the War Department,made a sensational speech before the Tennessee Bar Association, in which he urged that this nation dump the Philippines and beware of the Mon roe doctrine as it is now under stood. Judge Judd said there is no telling where the Monroe doctrine will lead us, and intimated that eventually war would grow out of our efforts to enfore it. A paper on "Porto Rico and the Porta, Ricians" was to have been read to the convention by Judge Judd, but he stated that while the paper had been prepared, he could not read it, as the authoriites at Washington has asked him not to give it to the public, : asserting it would- cause embarrassing diplomat ic relations with other countries. ' It was the opinion of Judge Judd that if the Monroe doctrine was ad hered to as construed by, President Roosevelt, it would eventually bring the United States into trouble not dreamed of today. Former Secretary of War Dickin son was the chief orator at the banquet at the Hermitage, a ban quet that has been seldom equalized and never surpassed in Nashville. Secretary Dickinson made his usual excellent address. He - stated that he was back in- Tennessee to stay, and that he never again in tended to leave the old Volunteer State- He spoke for about an hour, and was greeted at the end with round after round of applause. D0Y KILLS FATHER. Granville farmer, Shot to Prevent Em From Beating His Wife. Again Granville, County has been shocked -by the report of another tragedy which occurred last Sun- j flay : when William, the twelve year bid son . of S. V. Campbell, a far jtnr who lives three miles North ojh ullock on the Virginia line, slMU'and killed his father. The jshooting, which took place between sunset and dark, was done to pre vent Campbell from carrying out threats, to kill his wife. ' v. After hearing the evidence in the case; the - jury, summoned by Cor oner ; Bryan, which was composed of Messrs. J. Root. Wood, D. W Wiley, A. B.- Humphries, H. H. Ad kins, E. B. Tunstall, and C- B. Jones, gave the verdict that the deceased came to his death by gunshot wounds in the hands of his son William Campbell, twleve rears of age, in the defense of his mother; The boy was then re leased from custody by Sheriff eeier. He and his mother were atnipbell had a bad reputation hrutal conduct toward his fam fly, 'and was said to be a heavy drinker, though he seemed to have been perfectly sober on the day he was shot. He was arraigned be fore, the last term of court for abusing and beating his wife, and it was-tmly by his wife's asking not to prosecute him that the judge let him off with the payment of all costs and promise to go home and behave himself. It is reported that he has been acting ugly to ward his family, since then and be fore, Sundays happening. .Sometime between seven and eigh' o'clock, at' twilight, Campbell was sitting upon his porch in a grouchy mdbd. ' He had during the day been abusing his -wif e and making threats against her. She said that she was, afraid to attempt to go way and- went out where her husband was seated in order to try to pla cate him. .r He had already told her that he was going to kill her that night. He jumped on her, began to beat her, and : told - her he would kill her before morning. He drew his knife with the apparent intention of ; cutting her throat when she screamed ; for help. William, her pon ran to her rescue, ;picking up s vT Tiay-out- wnicn ne . body below the neck through the spinal column, producing death almost instantly. The - stricken man cried out "O Lord, "I am gone," and breathed his last. During the examinaiton of the boy and his mother at the inquest, Sheriff -Wheeler asked William why he did not take the gun and knock his father down - instead of shoot ing him. The boy replied that he knew if he did that, that his father would kill him. Campbell was evidently a terror in his household. William, a small barefoot boy in short pants, was the third child of a family of five children, the two older boys being 15 and 14 respect ively. The second one, McKinley, was asleep on the porch when the killing occurred, and it was 'he who got up to seek his older brother and inform the neighbors. The dead man who was about fifty years of age, was evidently a terror in his household. The con census of opinion is that the shoot ing was justified. Spanish Phrases and Ideas. From the New York Times. Every reader of the Diaz resigna tion as presented in the official En glish translation from the Spanish, must have been struck with the queerness of the phrase "permitting, though not admitting, that I may be unwittingly culpable." As Spanish is a language no less lucid than sonorous, the translator evidently made a bad choice when he lighted on "permitting" as an equivalent for whatever the Spanish word may have been. What Diaz apparently ment to say, was, "Of course, if I have been unwittingly culpable, which I do not admit, I am the worst judge as to the real ity of my culpability." That does not clear up all of the puzzle.since the conclusion is not logical or nec essary, but it helps a little. . The notable detail in the Corral resignation is its reference to the vice presidency as "so useful in the United States and so discredited in Latin countries." Senor Corral may be right about the Latin countries, but where did he get the illusion that the office of Vice President is here of high - utility or of any special consideration? It ought to be, doubtless, but the lesson of ex perience is not to that effect. Woman's Civic Club to Meet.

President of-, the Mexico Society Praises His Constructive. . ; "-,-" Statesmanship- James Wi Gerard, in Letter to New The peorlei they have been at school. long enough. President Diaz, perhaps, feels that his country is hot yet ripe for a government by political parties. It would be an impertin ence for any stranger to criticise the internal affairs of Mexico, but whether the schoolmaster leaves at the right time , or not, I am sure that in a very short time all Mex ico will unite in honoring the great retiring ruler. In his period of power he has accomplished a splen did work of development lines of railroads owned by the govern ment, thread the country; industries schools, and colleges have been es tablished, and President Diaz was beginning to provide farms for the poorer people through the medium, for example, of such companies as the Chapala Company, which, with government aid, is draining. the marshes of Lake Chapala and sell ing the rich land obtained to small farmers. The country has been at peace, has taken a place among the nations of the world, and all this President Diaz has accomplished at the cost of a small national debt of only $14 per capita. This crisis may accomplish one good object there has been a belief in Mexico, fostered by certain politicians for tfceir own ends, that the United States was awaiting, an opportunity to invade Mexico. Of course, we have no such desire ; but it is hard to convince the Mexican mind that because we have engaged in one unjust waR against her, we do not contemplate a second. Every new "country needs foreign capital for its development. En glish capital in no small degree con tributed to our upbuildings; but there is in Mexico a certain feeling against us, because we have em ployed some of our capital in the development of Mexico; but as the Mexiacns take up industrial work this prejudice, which only exists among a small number of nonbusi ness people, will disappear. The climate of the greater part of Mexico, on account of its alti tude, is not tropical; the people are learning English, their trade ideas are approximately ours, their con situation closely follows ours, the Mexicans are really North Americans In courtesy, in hospitality, in the finer shades of art and education, we have much to learn from them, and in the next few years the re lations of the United States and Mexico will be most close and friendly. No one who has known President Diaz can see him retire . without regret; no one can fail. to wish him peace in his honorable retirement, and may he live long to enjoy the honors which Mexico and all the wcrld will accord him. We are glad to hear that the Misses Kimballs, who are now at the home of their sister, Mrs. J. H Renn, on College Street, are a great deal better. - ; The v ladies - of the Episcopal Church will give a lawn party at the home of Mrs. Gooch on Tuesday afternoon, June 6th., and it is hoped there will be a large attendance.

' , The following regulations in re- gard to the general exhibits at the county fair have been suggested. We would be very glad to haVe oth er suggestions from farmers who have practical knowledge of such' things. In the field exhibit there must be at least six varieties. In order, however, to encourage a larger exhibit from those - c6ntest ing for these prizes some credit -will be given on the number of spe cimens and the attarctiveness of display. For example, we might count va riety as five points, and arrange ment fiye. The other, ninety points to be counted on the six best spe cimens. It is hardly probable that! any one man will have six prom inent specimens of field crops, butJ some will have superior qualiitea along some lines and others along a different line. The one mkaing the highest points on his six best articles, his variety nad, attractive ness will get the first prize. In regard to the" live stock ex hibit, at least four varieties must be included. The same rule in re gard to the variety and general at tractiveness of display will hold in this as in the field crop display. Out of the regular farm animals such as horses, mules, sheep,hogs, poultry, goats, and cows the exhi tor will have the privilege of hav ing his average made up onhis foujr highest grades, still it will be to his advantage to have a larger va riety in order to gain the few ad ditional points given for this. Please remember that while these regulations have not been definit-e ly decided on, still it will be nec essary to decide in a few days and if you can make any modifica tion that will improve on the plan, do so at pnee. .
