Citizens.
fly reference to the announcement
of Mayor T. G. Stem, which appears
elsewhere on this page, it will be
v;otn that Oxford is to have a gen
uine clean up and paint up cam
paign covering five weeks of intense
work on the part of the Civic Depart
ment, but only a few hours' work
on the part of the individual.
Mrs. Lassiter Heads Campaign
Realizing that Oxford should un
dergo a thorough cleansing, Mrs.
;. Lassiter, chairman of the Civic
Department of the Oxford Woman's
Club, invited a number of ladies and
gentlemen to her home last Friday
night for the purpose of organizing
the campaign. At the request of
Mrs. Lassiter, Mayor -Stem took the
i hair and outlined the object of the
meeting. An informal discussion of
the subject ensued, in which it was
discovered that Mrs. Lassiter - had
been turning the subject over in her
mind for some time. She realized
that the campaign would involve
much time and labor and a small
cash expenditure.
Addressing each one present, Mrs.
Lassiter inquired if they would
share the burden to the best of their
ability. Every one present pledged
hearty cooperation. Mayor Stem,
speaking for the City of Oxford,
said that he realized the importance
of the work and that he would do
all in his power to make the cam
paign a success.
Dr. J. A. Morris, our health offi
cer, who had made many excursions
about the town, said that he realized
that there is much filth and many
germ-breeding places in some of the
districts of the town that should be
obliterated, and with that end in
view he pledged hearty cooperation.
Organization Formed.
Mrs. X. H. Cannady was elected
chairman of the publicity committee
Mrs. Lasstier will announce the oth
er committees in the next issue of
the Public Ledger. As will be seen
by reference to Mayor Stem's an
nouncement, the town has been di
vided into five districts. The busi
ness district will be cleaned up dur
ing the week beginning Monday, Oc
tober 6th, and one week will be de
voted to each of the other districts
The Public Ledger realizes that
the health and happiness of the
whole community depends upon the
sanitary conditons of the town. We
pledge our hearty cooperation and
we believe that all good citizens who
realize the importance of the work
will fall in line. There is an igno
rant eiement in the community that
must be reached. If reason does not
prevail, then the law should be invoked.
SHERIFF HUNT CAPTURES
MIDGET DISTILLING PLANT
The Boiler Was a Five-Gallon Lard
Can Erected to Manufacture
Flu Liquor.
Last Friday morning Sheriff Hunt
and Mr. C. W. Davis, his office assis
tant, armed to the teeth, left Oxford
under sealed orders which were not
to be opened until they reached Can
nady's mill, where the hiding place
of the moonshiners would be reveal
ed to them.
Reaching Cannady's mill, they
were instructed to remove a certain
stone at a marked tree on the hilf
side, beneath which they would .find
a letter directing them to the still.
On breaking the seal of the enve
lope, the sheriff found a neatly exe
cuted map of the surrounding coun
try, roads, waterways and all. On
the banks of a little stream which
emptied into the river was an X, in
dicating the location of the still.
The officers approached the scene
"with drawn pistols. It was a seclud
ed spot and everything was as silent
as the tomb, except the palpitating
heart of Officer Davis. Peering into
the bushes the Sheriff broke the si
lence by exclaiming: "Good boy,
here she is!"
Two five-gallon lard cans, -fastened
together with three yards of one
fourth inch copper auto tubing and
a three gallon jug constituted the
plant.
Judging from the size of the pile
of ashes which had accumulated and
the well-worn path that led to it is
evidence that it had been in use for
some time.
The sheriff lifted the entire plant
into his auto and brought it to Ox
ford, where it was viewed by a large
number of citizens.
Pinned to a tree to "the left of
the distillery was a note, which read
as follows:
"Dis hura still is to make Flu
liker to save folk's life. If de offi
cer ketch us we ask murcy. This
notice am in evidence of the same."
Our Authorized Agent.
Mr. H. E. Overton, well known to
the people of Granville county, is
the authorized agent of the Public
Ledger to take subscriptions for the
Paper. He has a list of the county
subscribers in his pocket. You will
find him on the warehouse floors
during sale hours. We will thank
you to hand him your name and
subscription.

CLEAN-UP AND PAINT-UP CAM
PAIGN FOR TOWN OF OXFORD
Desiring to cooperate in every pos
sible way with the Civic Department
of the Woman's Club of Oxford,
which department has inaugurated a
Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign, a
period of five weeks, beginning Oc
tober 6th. 1919, is hereby designat
ed for this purpase.
The town will be divided into five
districts and cleaned up as follows:
First District The business dis
trict of Oxford the week beginning
October 6th.
Second District North Oxford
east of College street the week be
ginning October 13th, 1919.
Third District, North Oxford west
of College street the week .begin
ning October 20th.
'Fourth District South Oxford
east of Main and Hancock strees
the week beginning October 27th.
Fifth District South Oxford
west of Main and Hancock streets-'
the week beginning November 3rd.
This campaign will be more in
tensive than any ever attempted be
fore in our town. Every citizen is
herebv urged to make every possi
ble effort to do his or her part so
thoroughly that not a single dirty
or unsightly spot will remain in Our
town after this work is completed.
This campaign contemplates 'both in
side and outside cleaning, including
attics, cellars, front and back yards,
the abolishing of all places that
might breed flies or mosquitoes, the
elimination of all weeds, and tne
thorough cleaning of all lots, includ
ing vacant lots.
The town will furnish -the r.ces
sarv wagons and carts for the" pur- j
pose of hauling the rubbish away. I
Don't put the rubbish on the side-1
a 1 1 j. i ;
walks or streets, out conect it m
your back yards where possible, if
your back yard is accessable to the
wagons and carts. Collect it in
some kind of a receptacle .or recep
tacles boxes, cans, barrels or bags.
Collect this refuse and place it so
that it can be easily loaded and cart
ed away.
Various committees will be ap
pointed for the purpose of rendering
every possible assistance in this
matter. The Civic Department of
the Woman's Club, with Mrs. R. G.
Lassiter as chairman, not only pri
ginated this campaign, but will see
that it is a success from every stand
point. This is an opportunity for every
citizen not' only to show his personal
pride, but also his civic pride. No
town is attractive or sanitary if it is
dirty and littered up. Besides clean
ing up, our town needs painting up,
and it is earnestly hoped that during
this campaign a great deal may be
accomplished along this line.
Let us all work together to clean
,m onA naint ud Oxford. The result
will be a cleaner, healthier, happier
and more attractive town.
T. G. STEM, Mayor.

to hang the mayor of Omaha, Ed
ward P. Smith, the county court
house burned, one man shot and
killed and perhaps forty others in
jured, the city was quiet today un
der patrol of Federal troops.
Because Mayor Smith advised a
gainst the lynching of the negro,
charged with attacking a white wo
man, -the mob attempted to hang
him to a trolley pole.
A captured German cannon, pre
sented to the city by the war depart
ment, was used by the mob to bat

and he uses from $300 to $500 per
week. A large part of these pennies
go to soda fuontains and railroad

tor Simmons has asked Secretary
Glass if any relief is to be had for
the bankers. If not what would be

have been good with a noticeable ad

seem anxious for the weed and the
demand is strong. v The lighter

better prices. All those who have
patronized Oxford that we have been
able to interview, express the great

us before his tobacco was sold that

Oxford but he was from Missouri

Tlffi FLU MAXES ITS AP
PEARANCE IN 14 STATES
Three Hundred Cases OfficiaUy Re
ported, But is of a Mild
Form.
Washington,' Sept. 29. More than
300 cases of imluenza were report
ed to the public health service this
week by fourteen states but the dis
ease has not reached the proportions
of an enidemic in any state. The
of an epidemic in any state
-1 j 1
service announced today that the
cases reported generally were of a
mild type.
States reporting and the numbers
in each follow:
Alabama 20; Arkansas 14; Cali
fornia 51; Florida 22; Georgia 23;
Kansas 31; Kentucky 13; Louisiana
5; Maine 5; Massachusetts 42; Mon
tana, 4; New Jersey 20; New York
31; Washington. ?
"The fact that the cases are of a
mild type would seem to be a hope
ful sign," said Surgeon General
Blue. "However, it is too early to
make . a forecast with any degree of
certainty."
"The wisest thing to do is for
every person to avoid contact with
those affected, to keep out of crowds
and erowded places - to. be on the
lookout for the first symptoms and
when these appear to go directly and
summon a physician."
"City and state authorities should
by no means take it for granted that
influenza will not return. Every sani
tary precaution should be rigidly en
forced until the danger is . entirely
passed.
SMALLPOX VACCINATION.
Due to the fact that there are at
present some cases of smallpox in
Oxford and also to the fact that no
child should be allowed in school un
til he or she is vaccinated the follow
ing ruling is announced:
Every child who has not been suc
cessfully vaccinated must show a
certificate from the doctor. or show
a scar by October 15th, 19 19, to be
allowed to remain in school. This
must be done according to law that
controls the contagious diseases in
schools.
Since there is no quarantine law
now vaccination is the only means
of protection.
The vaccine can be had free of
charge from Hall's Drug store and
will be administered free by the
county health officer at the Court
House. It may be administered by
any family physician.
Remember the date, October 15,
1919, is the last one that will be an
nounced regarding vaccination.

OF OFFICIAL CARES
Considerable Period of Rest "Neces
sary Fo? His Recovery," Says
Physician President Had Not
Been Well For Some Time.
When President Wilson's special
train reached Wichita, Kansas, two
hours late last Thursday afternoon,
Dr. Grayson, the attending physici

his speaking tour and return to,
Washington for rest. Remaining i

phis Tenn., Sept. 27; Louisville, Ky.,
Sept. 28 and 29. He was to arrive
in Washington Sept. 30.
Dr. Grayson's statement follows:
"President Wilson's condition is
due to overwork. The trouble dates
back to an attack of influenza last
April in Paris from which he has
never entirely recovered. The Pres
ident's activities on this trip have
over-taxed his strength and he is suf
fering from nervous exhaustion.
His condition is not alarming, but it
will be necessary for his recovery
that he have rest and quiet for a
considerable time."

brief bulletin by Dr. Grayson,
given out today, says:
"The President passed a rest
less night, but is sleeping this
morning.

PRICE OF BEEF CATTLE HAS
DROPPED 3 CENTS A POUND
New Selling In Western North
Carolina For Four Cents the
Pound Ou the Hoof.
Ashevilie Citizen.)
The price of beeves on the hoof
has dropped three cents per pound,
on all grades, according to a state
ment made by one of the leading
shippers at Clyde, Haywood county,
where 700 head of cattle were ship
ped to Virginia points. The cattle
shipped have been on the pasture
and were sent to Virginia to be stall
fed before going to the packers.
With the price of. beeves lowered
three cents per pound on all grades,
this would mean that low grades
which have been bringing seven
cents have dropped nearly 50 per
cent. " '
Here in Ashevilie the price of
side meat, bacon, etc., wholesale has
dropped 10 cents per pdund, it is re
ropted, while several other articles
of food have also dropped in price. "
