For State Auditor, two men are pitted against each other Baxter Durham, the present chief clerk in the Auditor's office, and Mr. James P. Cook, at present at the liead of the Stonewall Jackson Training School at Concord, and carried a-large vote in resentful of the activities of the Re publicans helping to pass the primary law and then not abiding by it. Ex cept in very scattered instances there were no contests over any office. Their State convention did the nomi nating. The other proposal, leaving it to the State convention to call a pri mary, is not without favor aming po litical leaders. It is proposed to have th iesislature to empower the con vention to call a primary, if one I 11 TJ 1 seeais aesnaDie in any election year, and if the convention sees fit, leave it oH ar.d do the nominating itself. Such a provision would enable tb.9 party t. declare a nominee when there were contests lacking, or in off years when there are but few offices vacant. Such a contingency is cited two ytars hence when the only statewide oil ice? to be filled will be one vacan cy on the State Corporation Commis sion and one on the State Supreme cT.-rt. Under the present law, tne 3. ate Beard of Elections will be com pelled to call a primary to select pany candidates for these two offi ces. The proposed change in the; Lw would enable the convention to name the candidates, and in the gu bernatorial contest four years hence, the primary could be ordered to se lect the nominee. People Like Primary. doctor the primary will be passed j without opposition. The great mass of voters, in so far as can be deter mined without a referendum on it, are well disposed toward the primary and are willing to let it stand like it s. or to make it obligatory on both parties. Cumbersome though it is, and somewhat costly and at times in decisive, the primary gives the folks an opportunity' to have their say ijout running the party, and they; tHH j i i i , . . . . nu uoudl oe louna loath to give up. or to have it seriously molest ed, it is believed. The old convention was simpler, and less taxing on the seeker after ccef and less long drawn out in its --iety, and less costly, than th the Western part of the State. j NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL AT HAMPTON ROADS more or the country people and the country people think more of the town people than ever before. Our people have come to realize that in union there is strength. Farmers who fought good roads a few years ago are now heard to say "let them come regardless of cost." Yes, the whole county is ready to spread its wings just as soon as we crawl from beneath the shadows of the cruel war. The trains that arrive here now over the Seaboard come in tail-end foremost. Twenty years from now big trains will pull up to a large, and handsome union station with the en gine in front. Twenty years from now there will be several skyscrapers in Oxford. Twenty years hence there there will be street cars in . Oxford linked up with a line extending froni Henderson v to Durham. Twenty years hence there will be manufactur ing plants all up and down the rail ways fGr a distance of two nule.at Twenty years hence all of that part ojj the town between the business center and the Southern Railway station will be filled with wholesale houses, with a fourteen story stone building at the corner of Penn and Broad streets. Twenty years hence there will not be a vacant lot between Ox ford College and the Oxford Orphan age. Twenty years nence there wiU be skyscrapers on Williamboro street now stand. The tallest skyscraper in Oxford twenty years hence will stand at the corner of Littlejohn and Main streets, and it will be so tall you Will have to look twice to see the top. Twenty years hence the court house will be found where the old market house now stands. Twenty years hence the soldiers monument at the head "ot Main street will adorn the grass plot at the intersection of Gilliam and Williamboro streets, and real live policemen, or traffic meiv will take the place of the soldiers' monument. In those days good roads will stretch all over the county. Creedmoor will Drunken Young Men Howl Wild Hyenas.

St. John!s Day was celebrated at the Oxford Orphanage on Thursday, June 24th. The dance, given by the young people, took place in the Ar mory on the night of the 24th. Many young people from a distance remained over for the dance. Mr. J. E. Jackson, superintendent of county welfare work, looked in upon the dance at mid-night, and at that hour the young people were conduct ing themselves in good style. Af ter requesting some of the young men to see that everything was conducted 6n a high plane, Mr. Jackson retir ed, and according to reports the young people did conduct themselves becomingly, except in one or two instances and the couples were cen sored by the management, which had a wholesome effect.

The Democratic National Conven tion was 'formally opened here yes terday amid the blowing of horns and marshal music. The . day was spent in discussing various planks for the party plat form.

TWO COLORED BOYS ENTICED FROM ORPHANAGE BETTING ON THE GAME The Police Should Put ' a Stop To ' The Practice. At a recent game of baseball here there was considerable betting on the side. Enthusiasm ran high and men wagered as high as $10 that their favorite team would win. Kev. K. u. Craven, who is very Chief Hobgood Goes To Johnson County For the Boys. A few days ago a man drove by the Colored Orphanage and enticed two of the orphan boys to accompany him to Johnson county, promising them fried chicken at every meal and nothing to do but sit. on tne creek bank and fish the livelong day, Sunday included. The boys accepted the invitation. Dr. Cheatham, superintendent of the orphanage soon learned the where abouts of the boys, and Chief Hob- good went down to Johnson county ast Saturday and placed the abduc tor under arrest and brought the boys home.

It is unlawful to bet on games, horse racing and other forms of a musement, and the fellow who holds the stakes is just as guilty in the sight of the law as those who bet. The members of the Oxford base ball club are just as much opposed to betting as the other good citizens of our town. They have no means of knowing who the betters are, or how much there is at stake.

Hail storms in the adjoining coun ties have played havoc this season and some of them crossed over into Granville. It is reported that hail as large as a walnut fell at Dabney recently Mecklenburg county, Vir ginia, to the north of us, sustained heavy damage last week. It would be well for farmers to protect themselves as far as possible by taking out a hail storm policy, which is fully explained by the Gran ville Real.

Desiring to defeat the Oxford team here last Thursday, enthusiastic members of the Henderson team made a trip to Richmond to confer with Gooch with a view of securing a star pitcheriof his team to pitch for the Henderson team 'against -the Oxford team.

Wheat may be cut with safety when the straw has lost nearly all its green color and the grains are not , entirely hardened. If cut sooner than this, shriveled kernels will re sult. If left standing until fully ripe, a bleached appearance, due to the action of the elements, often re sults, and loss from - shattering may ensue. Wheat that is. fully ripe is also more difficult to handle. Vhere the area of wheat is larse, cutting should begin as early as it can be done safely.
