I ASSITFR GETS CONTRACT TO PAVE HENDERSON STREETS ! Awards Hade Subject To Sale Of Bonds. The R. G. Lassiter Company was last week awarded the contract to pave certain streets in Henderson. The Lassiter bid was one of foui offered, and was the lowest turned in. being S189.720 for the entire to tal of work to be done on sections al ready passed, or at the rate of $2,48 per square yard. It was awarded subject to the sale of the $200,000 bond issue, which is expected to be consummated in a few days. IIFE OP A FIVE -DOLLAR BILL It Lives Longer In Oxford Than It Does in New York City. Paper money wears out rapidly and has to be replaced frequently. The 1,f of a $5 note, for example, is on the average about 10 months, and in ew York city is about two months Jess than the average, owing mainb to the more rapid rate at. which it circulates.

The Tobacco Association nas not SSfJ!2SSthf dLeof,.tneir opening, but prominent officials here express uie opinion tnat it will Be one week later than the auction nouses, which would make the openng date on Tuesday, September 12. There was some doubt in the public mind a month ago as to the Grau viiie Warehouse being takvn ov-r by the Tobacco Association, but' the Public Ledgegr leanv, that it will bo a receiving station, the same as the Banner and Mangum Warehouse. A prominent member of the Tobac co Association expressed the opinion that the Banner and the Gi anvils Warehouses will be designated as re ceiving stations and that the Mar, gum and Owen will be used for sto rage. The amount of insurance, he said, will determine which of the warehouses will be used for storage. IT SOUNDS LIKE FICTION But It Is the Real Stuff. The Public Ledger learns that a citizen of Oxford found in his attic one day last week a gallon Jug of ap ple blandy, which was placed in the garret many years ago and covered with rubbish. The gentleman, whose name we are not permitted to divulge, states that he has been livinsr in the house f 16 years: that he saw the jug in the garret soon after he moved into the house, but did not examine it. The former owner of the house is is dead, but an effort will be made to get in touch with. members of the family elsewhere. Owing to the extreme age, the brandy is of golden color and is as thick as syrup. Those who have 1 sampled it state that it is smooth and i mild, but has the old-time "kick." It will be used for medicinal pur poses only, it is said. ' When'found the jug was hermeti cally sealed, but strange to relate that it began to evaporate as soon as the air struck it.

Draws $30.50 Judgment When She Fails To Foretell Decision. New York, Aug. 20. Madams Frankie Octavius de Vinnese Hadaa, was arraigned before Magistrate Frank Paul on a charge of main taining a nuisance at her home, where she tells fortunes. "If you are a fortune teller, tell me what I am going to do with yon case," the magistrate asked her. "Why the dear judge is going to dismiss my case," the soothsayer "The dear judge is not," replied the justice dispenser. "The dear judge is going to fint yon $30.50." BENEFITTED BY THE POOL It Paid Him To Hold His Tobacco. Mr. G. C. Hobgood, of Granville, who was on the Mt. Tabar," Colum bus county, market last week, states that a farmer realized a neat sum of money by holding his tobacco one niAind q Via r ii year, une year agu ue ymu of tobacco on the warehouse floor, for which he was offered only $2 per hundred. He took the tobacco home, kept it one year and returned to Mt. Tabar last week and palced it .in the pool. The association advanced him ic npr hundred for the same to- h,pn ar( eaVe him a participation fnr the remainder. Hundreds j nf farmers witnessed the transaction, cairt Mr Hobgood, and they were ail hiffhlv nleased. GRANVDLLE COUNTY'S LARGEST TAX PAYER Mr. Graham Royster, former com missioner of Granville and one of the most highly esteemed men of the county, spent a few hours in Oxford yesterday. Mr. Royster is the largest tax pay er in Granville, but he has less to say about it than the smallest. Mrs. John Rose of Henderson formerly Miss Frances Abbitt of Oxford, is quite ill at her home. (X) UAFUKD, N. C, TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1922 DR. HODGOOD, PRESIDENT OF OXFORD COLLEGE, RETURNS FROM THE MOUNTAINS Physically Fit and Wears a Smile In Anticipation Of a Fine School Year. . ' ur. f. F. Hobgood, president of Ox- iora uouege, who knows not an idle moment, has returned from a trip to Blue Ridge Inn, near Ashevllle. He is physically fit and wears a smile in anticipation of a fine year for Ox- ford College, and all Institutions of learning in the state. Two weeks from tomorrow the campus of Oxford College will swarm with pretty school grls, which is al ways the advent of the busy season in Oxford. The return of these young ladies in large numbers at the beginning of the fall and winter session never fails to dispel the lethargy that invariably set in here at the end of the spring session. The churches, the stores and the streets take on life when they arrive. So attached are they to Oxford College and the high regard that they have for this noble instituton of learning, there are people here who will tell you that Oxford would not be a fit place in which to live if it was not for this cherished institu tion of learning. It is the center of the moral, social and relgious life of Oxford and Granville county, and it has been the means of bringing to Oxford more than $1,000,000, whidl is shared by the community as a whole. FINE CROP OF TOBACCO IN GRANVILLE COUNTY i Farmers Are Successful In Obtain ing Good Color. A fellow who is always joking and sees the funny side of life, . states that he makes it a rule when he meets a tobacco grower to ask him how he is getting along with his to bacco crop. "I can always tell whether he is or is not a member of pool by the way he answers the queston," says the light-hearted joker. "If he is a member of the pool he win ten you in a very rew woras mat he cut his acreage this year, but he has the best crop he ever produced. !Th man is full of hope and you can see it in his face." The man who is not In the poo; weighs hs words carefully before He answers the question. He will tell you that the rains damaged his crop consideraby;, that there is a lot of poor tobacco in his section; that he reckons tkat he will make a little something this year if the prices on all grades are right." Farmers are, very busy curing the tobacco crop and are meeting with ! success in obtaining a fairly good col ! or. THE HOME MERCHANTS ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS y . . j t Q And ' See How It Works. Did you ever go to an Oxford mer chant and ask him to give you a quotation on a $25 or a $50 order of merchandise Try it once. It's a hundred to one that you wll get con cessions that will surprise you. But do it, understand just a you would send your money to a mail-ordei house. The chances are tha your i 1 J.

When an order is sent to one of them it is for a quality of goods not Just one lit tle purchase. So if you want to be fair, if you want 'to actually test the merchant's prices, ask hm for quota tions on quantity purchases. You'll find that you can do better right here at home.

Not mucch doing in St. Louis, It's the same in Baltimore; Coin doesn't rattle in Seattle As it did in days or ore.

OXFORD COLORED FIRE COMPANY GIVES GOOD ACCOUNT OF THEMSELVES Wins Three Races At the State Fire men's Tournament. The Oxford Colored Fire Company! is composed of representative men of their race. On: their trip to Tar- boro last Sunday to attend the State' tournament,; they found themselves in Durham with a couple of hours to spend between trains. The com 4?any marched in' a body to the Dur ham White Rosk Baptist Church and listened, to the sermon and min gled wifh the congregation. In the tournament events Oxford won one hook and ladder race, one hose real race and one endurance race. The silver trumpet was won by Tarboro in the hook and ladder championship. The silver belt was awarded to Wilson In the reei championship.

Editor Public Ledger: In the Oxford of-my early youth there were many brick houses. This was the Oxford of the seventies of the last century, and that Oxford was about the same, presumably, with re spect to biddings, as the Oxford of I the late fifties, as it is reasonable to suppose that not much building 'was done in the old town during or im- j mediately following the War Between the States. 1 Of these brick buildings it may be said that the Court House was erect ed in the thirties, and the main build ing of flie Orphan Asylum in the fif ties. I think some others that! can. recall were R.J. Mitchell's drug store, on the site of the present northernmost two stores of the Britt Buildintg; the last two law offices on the row on Williamsboro Street expending from the present - Hicks Building to the buggy ractory, one of-;"which was occupied by Maj. Thorn is Browne Vonable and the joer, I believe, by Robert W, Lassi-YtifrT-twrt laroffi thh'a.tan factories, one ! now serving as the Seaboard "sfation- and the other having stood on High Street opposite the Willis (afterward the Devin and nowr the Calvert, place; the Presbyterian Church, the jail, and a most ancient and not es pecially worthy looking structure which formed a part of the Hillsboro Street side of the hotel which stood on the Long corner and was de stroyed by fire in 1886. From its looks. I judge that the latter wab the oldest of them all. It appeared to have been older than the wooden part of the buliding, which was erect ed early in the last century when Ox ford was an infant. Perhaps in your recent article you had reference to residential build ings only. In that case a two:story house of some size which stood, where the old Dr. Ferebee house now is, should come in for consideration. Ttmirhrm Smith, a tailor.

Mr. Glbbs also caused to be built for his own occu pancy the house which, tnacn en larged, is now the John Weob resi dence. A famous lawsuit giew out of the contract for painting this house. It was in the early eighties that Oxford took a spurt In building, whilh it kept up until the depression of the early nineties. It was during that period that the Jf. F. White resi dence on College Street was built, as I recall the -matter, by George k. Hundley, a member of the firm of Cozart & Hundley, builders. B. H. Cozart, the senior member, erectea many houses during that decade: he opened through farm land and de veloped Broad Street (which he called Broadway) , and built and lived in the Cherry Hill Mansion. The small brick house on Raleigh Road, beyond the corporate limits, was built and occupied by Matt F. Loon am, who was a brick mason although he worked at another trade during the dozen or more years he lived in Oxford. The brick residence on Front Street, near Gilliam, was erect ed by Samuel W. Parker about this time. FRANCIS, B. HAYS. New York, August 16, 1922. "CO-OP" WAREHOUSES TO OPEN THURSDAY, AUG. 24 Goldsboro, Aug. 20.

On Monday morning, September 4, more than 500 children in Oxford will experience a thrill that comes but once a year.

Surpassing all other matters in general interest was the blowing up of a water main, shutting off the en tre water supply for engines and for fire protection. A huge stream of water flooded that section of Spencer for several hours until the supply could be shut off. There is no known clue as to who blew up the pipe, though South ern officials and Sheriff j. H. Kridcr have been making strenuous efforts to fasten the blame where - belongs.

Mr. Hamlin Cheatham, Route 3, was very much encouraged a few days ago to learn from a conversation with his brother, Mr. C- B. Cheatham, assistant manager of the leaf depart ment of the South Carolina Tobacco Association, that the pool system is progressing satisfactory In that state. The pool is receiving large quantities daily; that during the past week many small sales were made and one tremendous one of more than three million pounds, and another big one will take place this week.

The admin istration tariff bill, officially "the Tariff Act of 1922," was passed by a vote of 48 to 25 Saturday by the! Senate after four months of debate. It now goes to conference. Senator Borah, of Idaho, was the only Republcan to vote against the measure. Three Democrats Broussard, Kendrick and Ransdell voted for it. AVERAGE FOR WENDELL : HIGHEST IN STATE Quarter Million Pounds Average $27.50 Per Hundred. A close watch on the tobacco mar kets in South Carolina and Eastern Carolina reveal the fact that Wen dell leads them all in high averages. This little Wake county market sold one day last week 210,000 pounds at an average of $27.50. Mrs. Eleanor Robinson Hancock 'of Danville, Virginia, widow of the 1 late W. B.

"There have been twenty-two sepa rate massacres since the Armistice," declared Col. Bellamy, "which makes it. impossible for these people to be self-supporting until France, England and Italy relinquish their protector rate over Turkey in their mad scram ble for the Mohammedlan calico trade. "The recent British refusal to Al low the Greek , army to stop massa cres of its own people was one of the most astounding and sorbid chap ters in history, and until such con ditions as this disappear and England becomes a Chrstian nation,' the Amer ican people are the only thing that stand between Armenia and the en tire starvation of its ...t-standinf; population." - TOBACCO SELLS WEIL ON SMITHFIELD- MARKET Fiirhlers' Fromv Eight Counties Had (Smithfield Herald) j tooacco mantel tor. tne pale of "ffiff" The tobacco market for. the v a.vu,vw i'wuuuu marketed at the one warehouse in. operation. The tremendous floor space of the big warehouse was taxed to its utmost with piles of the golden weed, and an unusually large crowd of farmers including "co-dps", fol lowed . the; sales with an ,'uncommon interest. Farmers from eight coun ties including Johnston, Harnett, Cumberland, Hoke, Wake, Wayne, Wilson and Lenoir, had tobacco on the floor, and were generally pleased with the prices received. The average on opening day wa3 from $22,50 to$23 per hundred as compared with $14,75 of last year an increase of between $7 and $8. The highest price paidTuesday was 62 dollars per hundred, Mr. R. A. Daughtry, who lives on Smithfield, Route No. 2, having received this price. Very likely the prices would have ranged even higher If tobaccco had been in better condition. The ; tobacco was soft due to the recent wet weather. There was a marked rise in the prices of medium grades over last year's opening sales, but not so much difference in the best grades. ' All of the leading tobacco, com panies have representatives on this market including the American, Lig gett & Myers, Export, Imperial, R. J. Reynolds, and J. P. Taylor Co., be sides a number of ndependent buyers. GUILFORD DAY LABORER FALLS HEIR TO MILLIONS Has Not Made Definite Plans To Spend It. ' A special from Greensboro, sayst J. H. Browning, a workman, in the White Oak Cotton Mill here, finds himself changed almost Overnight from a poor day laborer, to, several . times a millionaire, one ofthe rich est heirs to a fortune of one hundred fifty million dollars, left by his un cle, who died possessed of some of the richest oil land in Texas. Answering the questions of a newspaper man,, he stated, that ho had just heard from his lawyer, and he estimates that his share of th vast estate wll be about fifteen mil lion dollars at least. "What will you do with your money," he was asked. "1 haven't made any definite plans," he replied.. Meantime he is working on, rolling cloth in the weaving room of the mill, earning a few dollars weekly. The estate of his uncle, Thomas Browning, will be divided; among 3t heirs. He died without widow, or children and left no will, T. H. Brownng and his sister, Mrs. Mar garet Purdy, the latter of Greenville, S.
