OUTLINES THE WORK
IX GRANVILLE COUNTY
sKs For Hearty Cooperation In the
Discharge Of His Duties.
To the Teople of Granville County:
nnt for the fall term this week. ! ?
prom now on others will open and
Avithin a month nearly all the
cl'oold of tlie county will be in ope
ration.
Tims our greatest industry be
rjiis for this year. It is great in
jhe interests involved; great in the
amount of money spent. For many
wars North Carolina lagged behind
"j,,1 tis public school work. But,
gnlpmiid progress has been and is
,ein: made. But with all that pro
gress our relative position among
thT slates has changed but little.
Last year we spent less money, per
child for public school education
than any State in the American Uni
on' except New Mexico.
But last year the people took the
greatest step forward in public edu
cation that has been taken in more
than a generation. By a majority of
one hundred thousand votes they
said at the ballot box that every
child in this State should have the
privilege of attending a public
school for six months in each year.
That does not mean simply Oxford,
cr Stem or Creedmoor, or Stovall or
Hester or any other place where
taxes from the corporate property
are sufficient to maintain a school
for six months or longer. It like
wise means the districts in .the outer
edires of the county, in the secluded
Si,ots: it means every district in
Granville county wherher or not that J
district has railroads and other cor
porations in it from which special
taxes may be raised for the mainte
nance of a school term sufficient for
the education of its children.
The legislature has responded to
the will of the people so expressed at
the ballot box. As a consequence
the tax rate for schools in this coun
tv this year will be 72 cents on the
hundred dollars worth of property,
and this does not include the tax
rate in those districts where special
taxes are levied for a longer term,
than six months. This means that
45 cents out of every dolrar we pay
in general property taxes goes to the
support of the schools.
The expenditure of this money
carries with it the obligation to see i
. .
that the children of the county at-,auriul ntJ lounu iurs. aucnanan lay
tend the schools and get the bene- inS upon the ground in the back
fit of it. With that end in view the J yard. . He reached her side while
legislature has - strengthened'' Iffief she 'tvas yet conscious and on leai
compulsory attendance law. In gen- i mS down nard her say that it was
eral terms that law provides that all!
children between the, ages of eight
arrt fourteen years shall attend the
schools of their district during the
vrhole of the term, unless excused
for good cause. It is my duty to see
that this law is enforced. It is my
purpose to do that. I want to do it
not by using the process of the law;
not by taking out warrants; not by
asking for the imposition of fines. I
want to do it by and with ithe co
operation and help of the parents of
the county. I want to do it by con
ferring; with the teachers and the
parents where that may be neces
sary. I therefore address this to the pa
rents of this county and ask for their
cooperation and help. I ask the
teachers in the schools for their as
sistance. I ask all good citizens to
see that the compulsory attendance
lcvv is complied with and enforced.
I repeat that it will be my policy to
act with teachers and parents in this
matter, but it is well that we should
all understand that the law is posi
tive and must be enforced.
There are other duties pertaining
to my office. Are there truant, way
ward or neglected children in your
community? Are minors under the
a?e of seventeen years smoking cig
arettes, sold or given to them by
others? Are there children in your
community frequenting places to
which they should not go? Are there
immoral conditions in your com
munity? In a general way these
are some of the things which come
within my duties as commission of
Public Welfare. If any citizen finds
that, these conditions exist, I ask
that he see and tell me. I may not
be able to do all that you may
want or expect, but these are some
Gt he things to which I purpose de
voting my attention.
This is a new work for which I
have been selected. It covers a
large number of matters and things
which heretofore have been nobody's
business and have therefore very
largely received but small attention.
I cannot hope to succeed unless I
have the assistance, cooperation" and
tolp of the good citizens of the
county; with that I believe we can
make this county the best possible
place for men, women and little
children to live.

Supt. County Welfare.

BURNING CAUSES DEATH OF
MRS. LUTHER T. BUCHANAN
Her Clothing - Caught Fire From
"Burning Trash Pile Deceased
Has a Most Estimable Lady.
The tragic death nf Mro t -t.
Buchanan Wednesday afternoon at
jiome n Raleigh Road, a quar
ter of a mile beyond the corporate
limits cast a gloom over the whole
community.
Burned To Death.
The municipal fixe bell sounded
at -four o'clock and the firemen re
sponded instantly, but cri learning
that the fire was beyond the town
limits more than 500 yards, and
realizing that they could not project
a stream on the burning building, if
such was the case, they slowed down
and on reaching the Buchanan home
they learned .that the building was
not on fire, but hurrying to the back
yard saw the body of Mrs. Buchanan
lying upon the ground gasping for
breath, and over her prostrate form
stood the distressed daughter, Miss
Fannie, who rendered all assistance
possible to rescue her mother from
the flame that enveloped her from
head to foot. " ,
Was Burning Trash".
Mrs. Buchanan was. in the act of
burning a pile of paper and litter in
the back yard when the blaze ignited
the gingham dress which she was
wearing. The flame enveloped her
almost instantly, it is thought. A
colored man, who lives across the
road, some two -hundred yards dis
tant, heard the screams of Mrs.
Buchanan and hastened to render as
sistance, and on reaching the scene,
dashed a bucket -of water on Mrs.
Buchanan. By this time, Miss Fan
nie Buchanan, who was upstairs
when her mother screamed, grabbed
a blanket and rushed to her assis
tance, but the deadly flames had
done its work, and Mrs. Buchanan
lay upon the ground burned in a
crisp . from head to foot. Her hair
was burned completely off her head,
and the only place on her body that
the fire did not teach was her feet,
which were protected by her shoes.
Her lips were badly , parched and she
inhaled the flame to such an extent
that that alone would have caused
her death.
She Recognized Husband.
Mr. Buchanan was up town when
the alarm was sounded. He has
tened home expecting to find his
dwelling in flames, but to his great

her own fault.
No Hopes of Recovery.
Doctors N. C. Daniel and Nelson
Thomas soon arrived on the scene
and upon examination of the burns
announced that death was inevitable.
Life was extinct at 6:45 o'clock.
The Children.
Mr. John Buchanan, of Durham,
was advised by phone. He hasten
ed to Oxford in his car and reached
the bedside of his mother in time
to be recognized by her. Telegrams
were sent to all of the children and
they arrived Thursday, namely: Dr.
L. T. Buchanan, Wake Forest; Mrs.
A. J. Stubbs, Asheville; Mrs. A. C.
Burns, Sumpter, S. C; Mr. Dallas
Buchanan, student at the A. & E.
College; Miss Fannie was at home.
An Estimable Woman.
Mrs. Buchanan was a most estim
able woman and was dilligent in all
good works. Her home life was
beautiful and it was always a great
pleasure to have her family about
her. Her sons and daughters are
noble examples of what a mother's
tender love and care amounts to in
this world.
The funeral services were held
from the Oxford Baptist church, of
which she was a member, this morn

Avenue.
New York, Sept. 10. Over a five
mile flower strewn pathway, General
Pershing led his famous first divis

countrymen. It was the last great
review of the world war for New
York.

armies shared honors with battle
scarred veterans who won undying
fame on the fields of France.
Behind Pershing rode a score of
major generals and brigadiers and
back of them strode the commanders
guard of honor, the composite regi
ment of doughboys, the flower of six
divisions. Nearly all the men were
wearing wound chevrons. Next , came
the 25,000 regulars of the first divis

than four hours to pass given point.
PROPERTY ArALUES IN
SASSAFRAS FORK TOWNSHIP
The Increase Is About Four Times
Greater Than Previous Assess
ments. Mr. W. A. Parham has completed
the task of valuing the property in
Sassafras Fork at its true value.
The returns show that there are
43,649 acres in Sassafras Fork,
which was valued at an average of
$6.00 per acre. The new valuation
is four times greater than the form
er .valuation, the average being $24.
00 the acre.
There are 74 town lots in Sassa
fras Fork, valued at $122,450. All
of the property in the township is
valued at $1,170,960.
The increased values in Sassafras
Fork is practically the same as it is
in Salem township.
Mr. Parham and his assistants
are at work in Oak Hill. With the
township about half completed the
increase values are practically the
same as Sassafras Fork and Salem
townships.

THE HIGH SCHOOL PARK WILL
RE A THING OF REAUTY
A Pleasure Resort For the People
Of Oxford.
The people of Oxford are deeply
interested in the proposition to con
vert the recently acquired land for
the ; high school into a magnificent
park. There are about twelve acres
in-the plat, with a frontage of about
200 yards on Williamsboro street
and it extends back along the spring
branch to the Southern Railway
tracks.
The proposition is to place the
(high school building on the summit
of the hill overlooking the park to
the east. When the gently sloping
hillside is properly graded and laid
off and set to proper shades, and
electrically lighted by night, it will
resemble fairyland. ,
"jAtthe meeting. of the town board
last Tuesday night the question : of
beautifying the park section of the
school grounds was discussed
at some length and a sub
stantial sum was donated for
that purpose. Now that the com
missioners have got behind the prop
osition to adorn the eastern slope,
the school children will have a de
lightful place to play and romp and
the people - of Oxford will have a
place in which to rest and inhale
fresh air. The high school park, of
course, would be under the care of
the superintendent of schools and
perfect order and decorum would be
maintained at all times.

WAR HAS LEFT ITS MARK.
V Two years responsibility as
commander of America's fight
ers in France has left its mark
on General Pershing." Gaining
their first glimpse of the gen
eral since his return persons
who had seen-him before his de
parture overseas remarked up
on the changes in his appear
ance. Pershing's hair has be
come much grayer, the lines in
his face are deeper and the de
termined expression about his
mouth has been accentuated by
overseas duty.
AMERICAN DOUGHBOY
FINEST IN THE WORLD,
PERSHING DECLARES
No One Knows What Gen. Pershing
Thinks About The League Of
, Nations.
. (New York Times.)
"The American 'doughboy' is the
finest soldier in the world, and it
didn't take the Germans long to find
it out," declared General Pershing
in an interview granted newspaper
men at Waldorf-Astoria.
"We boasted a little, probably, of
the qualities of the American fight
ing man but his aggressiveness, ini
tiative and devotion as a member
of the American expeditionary forc
es gives us every right to boast and
to be proud of him," the commander
said.
"I suppose it is because of the
way the American boy is raised, due
to the fact that he is encouraged to
develop his initiative and that he
feels at any crisis of his life that he
is master of his own destiny."
The interview, brought about in
the hope that the general might be
s willing to express his views upon
such sub3e?ts a.s the league of na-
tions, the situation in Europe and in
Mexico, what he intended doing
when he entered civil life, when he
'expected to retire 'from the army,
and similar questions, was preceded
by a general hand-shaking all around
and a remark by General Pershing
that such questions could not be ans
wered now.
THE STORY OF A LOST
HANDBAG AND PURSE !
The last issue of the Public Led
ger announced that Master Cam
Easton found a handbag on the
street last Monday. Miss Lela Rou-
j ton read the notice and called on the

the bag, purse and contents to his
satisfaction. The purse contained a
ten" dollar bill, five dollar bill, one
dollar bill, one dollar in silver, two
nickels and a one cent piece
$17.11.
Miss Routon was riding with Mrs.
Taylor when the hand bag fell from
her lap. Along came an honest boy,
full of integrity and honor, who
found much pleasure in restoring it
to its owner.

After the American cotton asso
ciation at the closing session here
late today agreed unanimously upon
I a scale of temporary minimum pric
es from 36 cents for September to

mand," and that "until the peace
covanent has been confirmed , the
European markets will be limited.
The temporary minimum price,
adopted "until conditions warrant a
higher minimum", was: September
36 cents; October 36 1-2 cents; No

NUMBER 73
IcOST OF LIVING DUE
TO WASTE OF WAR
Wilson Tells Minnesota Legislature
That the World Is Waiting To
Find Out What America Will Do
Nation's Duty Is to Get World's
Commerce to Going, Then Adjust
Home Problems.
Jt is interesting to note that
there is something new and original
in every speech that President Wil
son has delivered on his ten thous
and mile tour. He told the Minne
sota Legislature last Tuesday that
the cost of living is largely due to
"a world situation" growing out of
the sacrafices and waste of the
war.
Back of that, added the President,
lay the fact that the world had not
yet learned what the peace status
v.euld be.
"The world is not going to settle
down," he said, "until it learns what
part the United States is going to
1-iay in the peace."
He said that this is the only na
tion that would have enough free
capital in the near future to rehabi
litate the world economica-'v.
First of all, Mr. Wilson said, it
was the nation's duty to set the
world's commerce going after the es
tablishment of peace. After that
there were domestic adjustments
that must be made.
Having established a world settle
ment economically, Mr. Wilson de
clared, it was imperative that there
be Van arrangement to insure that
nobody monkey with the processes
set up."
Labor and Capital.
Referring to the treaty provision
for an international labor organiza
tion, Mr. Wilson said here was a way
to bring a definite solution to the
problems. He said in this the Unit
ed States was expected by the world
to set up the standards.
As a basis the President suggest
ed that the interests of labor and
capital must be recognized as iden
tical and the two ought to be reas
onable enough to get together.
When it was realized that labor was
not a commodity and real coopera
tion had been established, "produc
tion would increase by leaps and
bounds, and that would be one ele
ment in reducing the cost of living."
-Tired of Old Experiments.
"The people of the world" said
Mr. Wilson, "are tired of every other
kind, of experiment except the kind
we are going to try. The world has
turned a corner that its not going
to turn again."
To destroy autocratic power, Mr.
Wilson continued, was the object of
the war, yet, he said, an autocratic
government as cruel as that of the
czar had been set up in Russia and
the United States must see to it that
there was no similar movement in
the United States. "We will brook
the control of no minority in the
United States," he added. "I would
as leave serve one kind of an auto
cracy as another." :
When Mr. Wilson said .another
great war would come if there were
no conceted movement to preserve
peace under American leadership,
some one in the gallery shouted,
"amen."
PRICES OF TOBACCO ON THE
STATESVILLE MARKET HIGH
One Fanner Received 34 Cents For
Leaf Which in Former Years
Brought But Five.
(Statesville Landmark.)
The Statesville tobacco market
opened here Tuesday with enthusi
asm, good prices and every prospect
for a successful season. At the new
Iredell leaf and tobacco warehouse
about 40,000 pounds of tobacco
were sold, ranging in prices from
eight cents for low grades, to 70
cents for higher grade bright lug.
The largest single buyer of the
day was W. R. Ryerson, represent
ing the R. J. Reynolds company, of
Winston-Salem. During the first
hours low grade tobacco brought
somewhat higher prices than quoted
at other tobacco centers for same
grades.
At the Old Planters warehouse
the quantity sold was small, but
brought equally good prices, rang
ing from six to 69 cents according to
quality, the average price being
31 3-4 cents for each pound. William
C. Lackey, of Alexander county, was
the first farmer to place his tobacco
on the warehouse floor, receiving ah
average of 40 cents for his product.
Another farmer from Alexander re
ceived 34 cents for his lot, which
had been cured in a horse stable,
under most primitive conditions. He
stated after the sale that in former
years he never could have received
more than five cents for such tobac
co. THERE WILL BE PLENTY
OF SUGAR IN FEW DAYS
One Hundred Boat Loads Of Raw

The sugar snortage, which has
been felt all over the country during
the last eight weeks, is practically
at an end and normal conditions
will be resumed within 10 days, ac
cording to an announcement made in
Chicago by Henry H. Rolapp, chair
man of the food administration su
gar distribution committee. The
government now has 100 boats
bringing raw sugar from Cuba, says.
Mr. Rolapp. .
