m Sr. i .'-IV in E K. 3011 r i Dr. B. VOL. 24. OXFORD, PM. Cm FRIDAY 24, 1911. NO.8 rep - -1 ;'!' f SUPERIOR COURT. Large Criminal Docket. Several Im portaiit Cases. Granville Superior Court convened , Monday with his Honor, Judge Ol iver H. Allen, presiding. He and Solicitor Gattis of Orange reached here Sunday afternoocn and Court convened Monday morning at 10 o'clock. A grand jury composed of the fol lowing substantial and intelligent citizens was drawn: W. S. Starke, Foreman, D. W. Hart, John Wil kins, J. A. Burroughs, L. B. Vaughan, J. C. Hobgood, W. M. Vaughan, J. H. Wheeler, R- L. Lumpkins, E. L. Smith, L. Y. Gor don, E. E. Mangum, H. M- Hobgood, R. L. Currin, S- H. Beck, W. J. Royster, J. M- Minor, and M. G. Satterwhite. The Judge's charge to the grand the delivery and undoubtedly it was the delivery and undoubtedly was an hour well utilized. His charge was somewhat different from that usually delivered from the bench. Instead of reviewing the criminal law the Judge in a way impressed upon the jurors the importance of the grand jury's functions. His idea seems to be that crime is preventable and should be prevent- ed as much as possible that the true province of the State is to endeavor to train its citizenship so that it will not find itself on the wrong side of the docket. On the whole the charge was an excellent one and made a deep impression on those present. As we go to press the following cases have been disposed of: State vs. A. L. Jackson, C. C. W. Nol pros with leave. State vs- Horace Mallory, Retail ing, judgment absolute against bondsmen. State vs.Jimmy Jones, Retailing, Discharged. State vs. Garland Wyche, False pretense, Defendant waived bill and plead guilty to trespass. Judgment suspended on payment of costs. State vs. Ada Haskins, trespass. Court ordered verdict of not guilty. State vs- Nick Thorpe, False pre tense, Defendant plead guilty. Judg ment 12 months in jail with power to Commissioners to hire out. State vs. Andrew Richardson.Bur glary, Defendant waived -bill and plead guilty to trespass. Judgment suspended on payment of costs. State vs. Hubert Gupton. Larceny. Guilty. Four months on road. State vs. Eugene Amis. Gambling. Defendant entered plea of nolo con- endere. Judgment suspended on payment of costs. y . " State vs. Crawford Vaughan. C. C. W. Defendant waived bill and plead guilty. Judgment suspended on payment of costs. In the Horace Mallory case de fendant was called and failed at last term. Horace forfeited his bond and the judgment at this term is against the bondsmen Jimmy Jones was convicted of re tailing at the last term and re quired to enter into bond for his good conduct. Jimmy was only tect nically guilty. At this term he ap peared and nothing further being against him was discharged. Garland Wyche seems to have been, jujnping a board bill now made a crime by the wisdom of the Gen eral Assembly and having no de fense pleaded guilty. Andrew Richardson was "scused" of burglary by another of his race, who afterwards discovered that it was all a mistake. The Judge ad monished Andrew and permitted him to go on the payment of costs. Gupton's case was the first jury trial. He failed to go upon the stand and deny his guilt and the jury proceeded to convict- Eugene Amis didn't plead guilty. He simply said "I can't prove my innocence" which means nearly the same. State vs. C. W. Knight, Graham Overton, Zeb Overton and Fred Over ton was continued on account of the absence of a witness. Practically the whole of Tuesday was taken up in the trial of State vs. Jim Harris, George Papadis.Jim Tsuimas and A. Tsuimas- The last three are the proprietors of a Greek restaurant now operating on Hillsboro Street. Harris is a negro who has had a more or less varied and checkered career. It seems that about October 24th Harris went into the Greek restaurant and while in there had some trouble with the Greeks, which later devel oped into a regular battle. Harris got . badly beaten up by the for eigners, but they claim that it was all done in protecting themselv es. There was much evidnece as to the extent of Harris' injuries and as to who really used the weapon. Gen. Royster and young Lassiter re presented the Greeks while Hicks & Stem and Graham & Devin look ed after Harris' interests. The Solicitor paid his respects and at tentions to all with equal impartial ity. After the jury had listened to speeches of counsel and heard the Judge's charge, they retired and wrestled a considerable length of time with the problem presented for their solution. Finally they a greed upon a verdict finding Har ris guilty and that Papadis used more force than was . necessary and asked the Court to be lenient with the Greek. Judge Allen acceded to the prayer of the jury and sus- required Harris to pay the costs, saying that if Harris' physical con ditions permitted of it he would send him to the roads. Baldy 'Davis and Sylvester Harris were convicted of retailing but sentence has not been pronounced as we go to press. A verdict iwas resisted by Harris but the jury LOCAL HAPPENINGS. Matter with a Liocal , Flavor in Which You May Be Interested. The Methodist Protestant Con ference is in session in our neigh boring town of Henderson this week. Rev- Li. S. Massey is giving the Methodists of the State an excellent paper in the Raleigh Christian Ad vocate. If you need coal, wood or any thing in the building line, call on C. D. Ray. Look up his ad on ano ther page- There will be no sales on the Oxford tobacco market Thursday, November 30th., Thanksgiving Day- By order Tobacco Board of Trade. The Supreme Court decides that loaning whiskey amounts to a sale though Justice Brown does hold out some hope to the fellow with the snakebite. We learn that G. H. Dove surren dered himself to the Warden of the State penitentiary last Saturday and has begun his five year sen tence. Granville county cases in the United States District Court' at Raleigh will be called Tuesday, Dec ember 19. The jury has been drawn and no juror was drawn from this county. Thanksgiving will soon be here. Don't forget the needy and desti tute as the glad day draws near. No worthier object of your bounty can be found than the Oxford Or phanage. All business houses will be clos ed on Thanksgiving Day. It is expected that Court will' adjourn for the day also though the calen dar is in a dreadfully crowded con dition. Mr. Joseph P. Caldwell, former Editor of The Charlotte Observer, died Wednesday morning at 5; 30. His death removes the maker of the Observer and one of the State's greatest newspaper men. Rev. F. M. Shamburger, the popu lar pastor of the Methodist church here, is attending Conference at Kinston this week and in his ab sence Dr. Merritt of Trinity Col lege will occupy his pulpit Sunday. " Where is the fellow who prophesi ed that all manner of dire things would happen if the sacred Tobac co Trust were touched? Let him follow the Oxford tobacco sales and see ; what is :.rey;r:apenia.gri.terB';; ' - The Durham papers tell us that Mr. E.'B: Cozart of Southern, Gran ville is considering the matter of opening another tobacco warehouse in Durham. Granville would be sor ry to lose this excellent citizen and splendid farmer. The Oxford tobacco market con tinues to hold up in number of pounds sold and prices paid. It is generally conceded that tobacco is celling higher than in many years. If you have any ready, bring it on to Oxford where you will get the highest possible prices. Horner added another scalp to its belt Saturday. In a game played in believed the testimony ofthe de tective who testified that he bought from him and brought in a verdict with but very little deliberation. Uncle Ned Allen was acused of false pretense in obtaining fifty seven cents worth of meat from Mr. P. Mangum. A verdict against him was stoutly resisted by Allen who was represented by Gen. Royster Graham and Devin appeared with the oSlicitor. The jury staid coop ed up all of Tuesday night and fail ing to agree Judge Allen ordered a mistrial. Wednesday afternoon was taken up with the trial of Mr- L. F.Day, accused of selling beer. H- C. Byrd detective employed some time ago to look up the blind tiger operators testified that he bought four! bottles from Mr. Day. The stuff was anal yzed by Mr. W. M. Allen, State Food Chemist, who testified that it contained 4.25 per cent alcohol. Mr. Day denied the sale to Byrd and the jury acquitted him evidently taking the view that Byrd could have changed the stuff sold him by Day, if im fact a sale of anything 3? raqejo -epBui n'enO'B ueaq pbu. Devin and Gen. Royster represented Day. George Papadis, the Greek mixed up in the fight with Harris, was also up on a charge of retailing beer. The State was prepared to show that the stuff which Byrd said he had bought from the Greek contained 3.40 per cent alcohol and Gen. Royster for the defendant ash ed for a continuance in order that he might get the man who sold the stuff to Papadis representinig it as being nonalcoholic or that he might have time in which to take a deposition to this effectt. The Court after considering the matter weanesaay judge Auen neard a case from Greensboro at chambers. The case was that of J. R. Moore field vs. Standard Boiler and Ma chine Works. Plaintiff alleged that he had been damaged by the noises made by a machine operated by defendant and asked for an injunc tion. The case is somewhat like that of the recent case of the Pres byterian Church here against the Seaboard Railway and if it gets to the Supreme Court may cause a re view of the doctrine laid down in that case. Mr- John A. Barringer represented plaintiff and Mr. O. L. Sapp the defendant. Judge Allen took the matter under advisement and will announce his decision shortly. - - . i Durham the Horner boyis defeated Bingham at Mebane by a score of 13 to 0. This is the fourth game played by Horner this year and no team has scored against the boys yet. If we remember correctly at present the socre stands 119 to 0. We are pleased to learn that young Jimmy Taylor has-been selec ted as a representative of Cluster Springs School for the Inter-State High School Declaimers Contest to be held at Trinity College November 24th. With several Oxford boys in the contset.we are looking for. some one of them to come home victo rious.

Don't forget them when you need any thing in their line, and be assured that you will get fair and court eous treatment at all times. I have now written at such length of my Nash and Northampton trips that I have little space left for mention of Granville and Colleton. I can only say that the Granville Fair at Oxford, N. C.and the Colleton Fair, at Walterboro, S. C-, both astonished me by their excellence. It was gratifying in both cases to find all classes of people genuine ly interested in making their fairs a" success. At Oxford I even found a prominent lawyer and ex-Judge with overalls on. helping about putting a grandstand ready for the opening ex ercises! Such a spirit is what wins! Editor Poe, in Progressive Farmei We learn from Sunday's News & Observer that young Hugh Hester of Southern Granville has been se lected by the Athenian Literary So ciety of Oak Ridge Institute as one of its representatives in the inter society debate to be held Nov. 30th. Young Hester is only a bcut fifteen years old, made a splendid record in the Hester High School and we learn has been doing even better at Oak Ridge. He is a son of Mr. W. A. Hester, of Hester and brother of Prof- John W Hester of Oak Ridge Institute. He is a young fellow of great premise and is to be congratulated upon the distinction conferred upon him by his Society. - ' ? M't?' Levi dar man , assistant Su perinitendent of the Southern Wheel Company has invented and had pat ented an improved automtic spoke driver. The new machine is a great improvement over the spoke driver heretofore in use and the indications are that this young Ox ford man has a good thing in this device. ' With the old style machine a fast man could drive sixty sets per day; with Garman's Automatic Spoke-Driver the average man can drive 150 "sets. Mr- Garmam is to be congratulated upon his success with the machine and it is to be hoped that he will find a ready sale for it. One is mow being used in the shops of the Southern Wheel Company here and is proving to be everything that Mr. Garman claims for i.t Miss Ferebee Entertains. The home of Dr- N. M. Ferebee was the scene of much pleasure Wednesday afternoon from three thirty to six o'clock, when Miss Martha Ferebee entertained a bevy of young ladies who have recently organized a social Club, which will meet each Wednesday afternoon. At the conclusion of the meeting Miss Ferebee served an elegant sal ad course. Those present were: Misses Sophia Taylor, Irene) Hines, Jeanette Gregory, Lily White, Mary B.

B. FVazier. We regret- to learn of the death cf this gentleman which occurred at the State Hospital last Friday. Mr. Frazier was taken to the Hospital recently but no one anticipated that he would die so soon- On Saturday he was brought home and buried in the family graveyard. Recently his father, Mr. . Rhodes Frazier, died and it was shortly af ter this that Mr. Frazier's mind gave way. Surviving him there are his moth er and four brothers and three sis ters as follows: A. D. Frazier, E. L.

Stewart's; farm'so last Friday we made the trijVi -Neither of us had ever been th & we inquired the way and atlast icund what we thought was tSflHce. His family had gone frofn Lome and he was off building a-tenant- house. We were not sure that. We were right, so I said to Mr:. Floyd let me go around to the back lot and see his implements1 and store. I can tell, I found a three hoiqse Chattanooga Disc plow that you ride X and do the work, reap er, 'mower and rake a - roller and other implements. I then; went to his stables his stock were all out but - the stable was full of shred ed corn and peavines, his crib was neatly full of corn, and corn in sight that had not been gathered.so I said .to Floyd- drive around here this', is: the place. We unhooked our horse and fed him it being thgsjjcfon hour. We found two pens of 'hogs, Berkshire breed.a shingle roof over one part of the pen to shelter' them from the weather of toe pen and a felt roofing over thebther, his hogs were fine. We decided , we would walk over his farm and see what we could. We found corn not gathered also two acres in cotton", the finest we saw from- home there a distance of fifteen miles. Also fields in green clover, millet, peavines and other forage- On our return to the house we found Mr. Stewart, we told him we "had come to see his farm and see if we could leave off ' tobacco. Said , he I don't make a plant of tobacco, and I am sorry I planted the 2 acres in cotton. I can make more raising grain, food and cattle than I can fooling with cotton and tobacco. He took us over another pcrtipn of his farm where he had hie wheat sown, nicely put in with a drill, he also showed us a lot in old fashion clover, and tall mead ow oat grass. I pulled out a hand full of the second -crop of grass: anc it. was cured almost as green as it grew and smelled as sweet as a nut- He told us he had no trou ble in selling all the food he could make. He is getting his land in a high : state of cultivation by rais ing clover and peas. He raises his supplies and also deals in cattle. I forgot to mention, I saw a subsoiler among, his implemnets too. Every thing v around Mr. Stewart shovva thrift j his dwelling had lately been painted and you could see . he ". was making: money.- .J ' J V: lifi )was not a' inan to- IjIow ; hot aid was truth. " ' On our return we met Sidney Cooper; "Hello, where have you fellows been down this way" we told him we had been to see Mr. , Stewart's farm, said he, I want you to come down and see my farm, I made 80 barns of tobac co this year. I told him I was looking for the farm that didn't make any tobacco. I will close by telling you an an ecdote a preacher told me: "One man bet the other that he had the out stinkenest thing on earth, $5.00 was the consideration the other man said I will take the bet, so they had to have a committee to decide so the first man brought in a goat the committee fainted. They had to go to work to bring the com mittee around all right. The second man brought in a little negro boy and the goat fainted." H. E. CREWS. Moriah Items. Mr. J.

We send greetings to the readers of the Oxford Public Ledger. Mr. O. F. Crowson makes us a good editor, and when he comes to a bide with us and give the paper all of his time we will be sure to have a good and newsy paper. This writ er has had long experience as a newspaper correspondent, nearly ever since the birth of the Ledger. I am sorry I do not have more time to get up and write news for we can find some news everyday. In my daily experience among the public and a deliverer of the daily mails, I find it necessary that we r.nt. iit .mnst nf fhv trastiv and. wdfhless -reading from' oui columni We note with pleasures1 that since our neighbor, The Henderson "Gold Leaf, has cut out dancig,balls,card parties, punch bowls and the like, that paper has climbed high and fast in its general worth in the minds of the good people- Long may the Gold Leaf editor live and print a good, newsy and clever pa per for the people of Vance County. Let those who have been re porters for this paper renew their energy and send in the news from the different sections of the count ty and 'lets bring the Public Ledger to the front. D- N. Hunt. Culbreth Cullings. Mr. S. R. O'Briant is right sick with cold. Mr- Emmitt O. Frazier, has a fine girl at his house now. Miss Nannie Currin visited her brother Mr. Amos Currin, of Person county last Saturday and Sunday.

Several of our people attended the sale last Saturday at Mr. Elijah Sherman's place, and say that the property sold very well. Mrs. J. T. Meadows, who has been very sick for some time with mala laria is on the mend now and we hope she will soon be well. The corn crops turned out surpri& ingly in this part of the county for a dry year. Nearly everyone made more corn than they did last year. The recent showers nave caused wells to come too in many places,and a sufficient water supply will be appreciated by those who have experienced a scarcity of that nec essity. H. H. L. Recital at Oxford College. Wednesday evening in the col lege chapel a recital was given by Miss Mebel Sauer, soprano, and Mr. Clifford Devereux, barytone, with Miss Levin at the piano. The pro gram was well chosen, beautifully rendered, and delighted an enthusi astic audience. The reading of King Robert of Sicily by Mr. Devoreux with a very beautiful musical accompainment by Cole was given with true artistic appreciation, fully justifying the favorable criticisms he has received on this work given before New York audiences. Miss Levin so ik ternfflated the music as to reveal its lovenHess- Mr. Devoreux's interpretion of his songs was remarkable for varie ty of feeling and tone, color and dramatic effects. The beautiful qual ity of his voice added to the pleas ure his singing gave: Miss Sauer's voice, while charm ing in all her songs, was perhaps at its best in the selection from Paccini's Madama Butterfly. Miss Levin's accompaniments left nothing to be desired, either in sympathy with the singers or in perfect rendering. The lovers of good music among us are looking to the pleasure of having Mr. Devoreux.Miss Levin,and Miss Sauer at Oxford College again in the coming spring. FAIR ASSOCIATION. Meeting of the Stockholders of the Fair Association. The regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the Granville County Agricultural Association met in the court house Tuesday. The treasurer made his report which shows that the net earnings for the current year a little over $1,000 It will take about $700 more than the present paid in stock to pay for the buildings and grounds. It was decided to raise $1,000 addi tional in stock to pay off this in debtedness and make some improve ments and carry the earnings as a surplus to the credit of thhe as sociation. On motion of Mr. E. C. Harris, seconded by Gen. Royster ir. was decided to offer this stock in small amounts to the public in order to get it distributed as wide ly as possible throughout the coun ty. If this is not subscribed by the fifteenth of December it or whatever balance remains unsold is to be taken by the present stockholders- Six of these present at once agreed to take $100 each if necessary to complete the amount. If there are any other men in the county who wish to show their in terest sufficiently to take part of this stock, it will be nceessary for them to do so before the fifteenth of December. General Royster and Mr. Caldwell both made short inspiring talks ex pressing their pleasure at the fine showing the association had made both in the way of excellent ex hibits and from a financial stand point. To make a clear profit of $200 the first year and $1,000 the second on a paid in capital of less than $3,000 is a record that any corporation ought to be proud of. Every word of Mr. Caldwell's talk rang out with the clear note of hopefulness for the future of the association and imbued the minds of those present with seme of his spirit of progress and desire to press on to better and bigger things. A few sentences will tell better than a synopsis the spirit of Gen. Royster's talk- "This movement has passed beyond the sentimental stage and has become a business of sub stantial proportions." '"Iho money invested as stock in this associa tion will always be worth what it cost because the property is now worth, what it cost and is increas ing in value every day." "I be lieve the fair will not only be kept up but. get better every year,. , nn- . less" our people lie -down and go to sleep, "and I do not bleiievte they; are going to do that." - After making some revision f the by-laws the following directors were elected for the ensuing year: B. M. Caldwell, J. T. Cozart, W. B Ballou, L.T.Williford, J. H. Perry, B. S. Royster, S. V. Morton, Jas. Horner, P. L. Thomasson, J. Robt Wood, E. C. Harris, Will Landis, A. H. Powell, A. W. Graham, S. W. Parker, Dr. John Bullock, R. T. Gregory, N. G. Crews, J. E. Jack son, F. P.Hobgood,E. T. White,, J M. Phipps.
