A splendid testimonial of the pro

came from Senator Titus G. Currin,
one of the most successful farmers

Miid Senator Currin, to know why the
farmers of the county do not raise

my own commodities and I know
that every farmer in the county can
do the same thing if he wills to do
said Senator Currin. He appeal
to the farmers to at least grow

LOCAL BAR ENDORSES
JUSTICE W. A. HOKE
At a meeting of the
County Bar Association held Thurs
day, May 6, the following statement
and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
"At the June primary the Demo-
all led the way as the Seniors came
from down stairs up the middle aisle
of the auditorium. They marched
on the stage and standing sung the
"Senior" song, after which the Juni
ors made a reply. The class con
risted of two boys and four girls:
Mae Barker, class historian; Floy
Daniel, class poet; Stanton Hardee,
read the program; Ora, Parrish, class
prophetess; Irene Stem, read the
Granville ; class' last will and testament and
Wesley Veazey, the orator. The
last on the program being a farewell
song by the Seniors.
Late Monday evening a picture
j was taken of the seniors and a de
lightful supper was served at th
triior motives behind the proposi-l r ia a" vtlli "c
tint. If there was any one in the!from overseas
iv.O' tnig possessed of that feeling, it
was doubtless removed when Dr.
I -. T. White arose and stated that one
r ;' the most unselfish acts that had

fact thnt Col. Ballou, Chairman ot
tii-1 -meeting, and manager of the Im
n -rial Tobacco plant, and a large to
buyer, should advise the far
wi'A to raise more foodstuff and less
toi'.acco if needs be.

to raise his own supplies.
Whmi jr. James 1 Gordon, the

stand he fired a broadsider
j;; 'he shape of a tobacco
iAUreate sermon. He had lived for
iiry years at Corinth, overlooking
the Tar, and from that eminence he
t'ton looked toward Oxford and

Prof. C. G. Credle Succeeds Prof. G.
B. Phillips, Resigned.
At a recent meeting of the Oxford
School Board Prof. C. G. Credle was
i elected to the position of Superin
tendent of the Schools to succeed
Prof. G. B. Phillips who recently re
signed. Mr. Credle immediately ac
cepted the work and will take
charge the first of July, in the
meantime he will be getting in touch
with the situation as much as possi
ble. Mr. Credle graduated from tne
University of North Carolina in 1908
and since that time has been very
successful in School work. For the
past eight years he has been head of
the Public Schools of Carthage. His
work in this place has been highly
'satisfactory. Under his sunervision
the schools have grown and have be
come the community center.
Mr. Credle has done special work
at the University of North Carolina
and Virginia Summer Schools be
sides instruction work in the County
Summer Schools operated for teach
ers by the State. He held two of
these during the past Summer.
Mr. Credle has the highest recom
mendations of his coworkers and of
the State Department of Education.
He has a pleasing personality and
will be a great addition to the Oxford
Community.
Oxford is very fortunate in secur
ing the services of this well trained
young man and should show him
every courtesy possible and assure
him full support in the operation of
the Public Schools.
Work
DENATURED ALCOHOL TO TAKE
THE PLACE OP GASOLINE
If Congress Passes the Bill You Will
See Cheaper Fuel
It has been shown that those who
are manipulating the price of gaso
line have no mercy. The only de
fense the people will have will be in
resort to some substitute and a prac
tical subtitute was long ago discov-
ered in denatured alcohol.
It will be remembered that Con
gress passed a law by which farmers
would have been encouraged to con
vert surplus potato and vegetable
crops into denatured alcohol and si
multaneously with passage of the
law came discovery that this product
would run automobiles same as gas
oline. Then the producers of gaso
line got busy and the denatured al
cohol law Was tied up and the coun
try heard no more of the enterprise
to which the farmers had begun to
turn with great expectations.
After many scientific tests it was
proven that denatured alcohol not
j only served as well as gasoline, but
it had the added value of leaving the
! engine in cleaner condition, having
less of a liability to clog than gaso
line. If Congress would revive the de
natured alcohol law and reshape it
more in accordance to the demands
of the present time, it would arm the
consuming public with a defense
against high gasoline.

UNIVERSAL DISARMAMENT
WANTED AS DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM PLANK
The Baptist denomination' at En
field has extended a call to Rev. G. T.
Tunstall, pastor of Enon, Hester
Tabb Creek and Bullock Churches.
They have a fine large church, un
encumbered with debt, and offer a
salary much in excess of the salary
paid by the combined churches or
which Mr. Tunstall is the pastor.
When interviewed by the Public
Ledger, Mr. Tunstall said: "I dear
ly love my people; they have done
everything that I have asked them
and I don't want to leave them."
Mr. Tunstall is doing a great work
in Granville. The combined mem
bership of his Churches is the largest
charge of any ministers in the county.
Frequently when he preaches at
Enon in the morning and some one
of his other churches in the after
noon of the same day his voice is
heard by more than a thousand peo
