There has been many attempts by sculptors to reproduce an exact iiiaKe of the American doughboy, and all had failed until E. M.

GRAHAM IS XOT IX POLITICS He Is President Of the Xv York Cotton and Grain Exchange. It is remarkable what a hold Judge A. W. Graham has upon the affections of the people of Gran ville county, especially upon the hearts of the old soldiers. Wherever, you go in the county you are apt to hear some one say that it is to be regretted that Judge Graham is not a member or the law making body of the State just at this time. Remembering that Judge Graham was appointed cotton future attorney by. President Wilson, an old friend of the Judge asked the Public Led ger a few days ago how long we sup posed President Harding would let him hold the job? The old friend seemed to be greatly relieved when we informed him that Judge Graham resigned his political . appoint ment two years a'go and was elected president of the American Cotton and Corn Exchange of New York City, which position he now holds. His headquarters is in New' York City, but he makes frequent triDs to Wash ington, New. Orleans, Chicago and other cities. " , ' Judge Graham attended court here last week. . Speaking of his position as president of the American Cotton and Corn Exchange, he said "it means work, work all the time." MR. BUXTOX TAYLOR IS .WV; RLTXPIXG A LOXG BRIDGE AT The 'Forks "Of the Yadkin and Pee Dee River and Links Up Stan, ley and. Montgomery Counties. All of (Commissioner T. G. Tay lor's sons are usually smart, and Buxton, one of the youngest of the boys, is no exception to the rule. He is not much over twenty-one -"years of age, if; that, but he is old enough to build a reinforced concrete bridge across the Yadkin river which when completed, will be 1091 feet and will. cost $201,700. long Buxton, one of the bright young civil engineers of the State, holds an office position with the State Highway Commission. He was de tailed to go to Stanley county arid build the bridge across-YadKln river at the fork of the Pee Dee and Yad kin. He is working unaer the su pervision of Mr. W. T. Morrison re sident' engineer, ( and Buxton will share the honors with him. Buxton spent the week end at home, and we learn from him that the bridge is being built by the Fed eral Government and that Stanley and Montgomery counties, which are linked up by the bridge, will share in the expense. This bridge is situated on the most direct route from Raleigh to Char lotte, and when 1 completed will shor .tenjthe distance between the Cap itol City and Charlotte thirty miles, and when the National Highway is completed between Durham and Sandford the distance between Ox ford and Charlotte will have been shortenedv26 miles.

To Have the Best Available Men. ' Those who think that the baseball fever of 1921 is dead have , another think coming to them, and they are very apt to see an epidemic here and all over the country long before the blue birds build their nests next! Spring. . . Around at headquarters the other day, the sports were bemoaning the fact that Lee Gooch, Oxfords' base ball star, had signed up with. Durham as manager next season; Gooch not being available, they are determined to get the best man they can to man age the Oxford, team. Nothing of a definite nature has been done here as yet. bilt there is some talk of Oxford and Henderson joining the Piedmorit League jointly as one team and arrange the sche dule so that Oxford and Henderson each would have good ball -three times a week. It is claimed that such a schedule could be w6rked out in an eight team league. , It is a well-known fact that some of the teams in the Piedmont League gets weak on finance during the last part of the second half. There is a good strong desire man ifested here for good ball next sea son, but six games weekly is more than the community will support, it is said. The only interest mani fested here last season to any consid erable extent was kept alive by the Oxford and Henderson teams.. There was a friendly rivalry between the two teams that kept things going from first, to last. It has been figured out that it will require an expenditure' cf $20,000 to maintain a high-class amateur club here next season. The ques tion will :be taken up early in the New Year to see what can be done; it is said.. BUY SEALS TODAY! The fourteenth annual sale of Tu berculosis Christmas. Seals is now on in Oxford.

Knowles and family are leaving Oxford this week to make their home in Hertford. It is with sincere regret that their many friends in Oxford see, them leave our midst, for seldom has a family so endeared themselves to our people. They have been residents of Oxford only about six years having come to Oxford from Hertford, but in that time they have all made a host of friends. The . little folks will be greatly missed in the Graded School and the High School where they have won a very enviable place with both teachers and pupils. ... ....... . r .

It always affords us pleasure to learn of the success of our boys from Granville county, especially ; when.,' auxiievea at tne highest institution in the land. Joseph A. Morris,-Jr., ' son of Dr. J.

In his first year in a class of over 600 he- stands tourth in general average, first in surveying, fourth in mathematics, thirty m conduct -and military effi- ciency 70 in English and 93 in French. Durin tne rear. for various caus es,. 150 members .dropped out, leav ing a class of 450., So far this year he stands: Surgery, 1; mathematics 4 English 4; drawing 12; French This is a. snl ly as mathematics and kindred sub jects are the principal study at a military or naval school. We - are proud of our young friend, and con gratulate him and his parents and predict for him a brilliant future ' ' , PITY FOR THE MAX : WHO, HAS XO FRIENDS Let a 3Ian Believe Tliat He Has No Friends Love and Life Has No Pleasure. For Him; One of the very latest editorials written by the late B. C Ashcraft, editor of the Monroe Enquirer, which was found in his desk, and which he no doubt intended to paslish the week he was stricken cown should be read by every one, for in everv community there are .people who thirst more for kind words and sym pathy, than anything else on earth Mr. Ashcroft's unpublished editorial follows : . "A man may be without money; lie may not know wh meal is to come from, his clothing may be worn and patched; yet if he has friends he will go ' down the street with a smile on his face and a song on his lips. m "A man may lose his health, wast ingdisease may lay him. low and the skeleton hand of death, may shake his hour glass in his face, yet if friends gather around his couch he will rejoice and be glad and die un afraid. "But let a man. believe that he has no friends. Let him become convinced that in all the world , there is for him no friendly heart, no hand of sympathy and love, life has no pleasure for him, no matter what his financial condition or the state of his health The thought more fraught with gloom and despair than was ever any other emanation of the hu man brain. "I have no friend in all the wide world has caused the sui cide s pistol to crack many a time has often caused the cup of poison to be pressed with trembling hand to tne hp has caused many a child of despondency to leap from-the bridge or shore into the cold waters of for getfulness. ! "Make a man believe that he has no friends; that for him there is no tnendly hand and you enshroud his soul m despair. Obsess his mind with the thought that he Is friend- xcao, lucti ior mm no sympathetic, imui uduu is exienaea, and bathe his soul in hell-fire.'.' you ALL SHOULD LIVE HUXDRED YEARS, SAYS AGED MAX But the People Must Practice the Rules Of Health To Accomplish XI A movement to educate the people of the world to live 100 years is sug gested by Dr. Stephen Smith, 99 years old, who declared In an address to members of the American Public Health Associatioon in New York that the Mosaic law limiting the span of life to three-score years and ten was all wrong. "Moses himself proved the falsity of the law by living forty years be yond his own allotted time," he said. "He died apparently in good health,, for it is written that 'His eye was undimmed and his natural force unabated.' " ' The normal and potential life of man, he added, was 100 years, and every child born was adopted in physical construction and functions to live a century. Deaths occurring at an earlier age were due, he said, to conditions . incompatible or con struction or function of human or ganism, and by proper education of the people through the association, such conditions could be changed.
