UV OUR DMIt MG Let's Make No Mistakes. Editor Public Ledger: It has now been some eight months since the town council began work on ' the water situation. The summer is practically here and only'suiveys of water sheds have been made that v/v, know of. The question of the source of supply has not been settled i When that has been done, then the; water site must be purchased aud ! rights of way obtained before work can be begun, which means that Ox-. ford will in all probability have to gc ! through another dry summer as it will bp June before any pipes wiil be laid. So suffering shrubbery and ^ dusty automobiles will be the order j of the day during the coming sum- { mer. We will do well to piovidi the. human needs. We noticed in Tuesday's issue ot ! the Durham Herald that Durham is' building a dam on Flat River 78 feet! high in order to impound a sufficient} quantity of water to meet the ever in creasing needs of Durham, and it is stated that it is a part of the project! not only to furnish water, but that { sufficient power will be generated to ; do the pumping of the water to Dur ham, and. in addition, to light the streets and municipal buildings, thereby effecting a great*' saving m fuel and electric bills. } We do not know that such a pro I position would be of interest to Ox : ofrd, but we have made some inqui , lies and have found it to be a fact that Tar River at Minor's Old Mill Site has a drainage area of 110 square miles, while Flat River at the ! site to be used for Durham's water supply has but little more drainage , area. Tar River falls 67 feet be tween Sou. R. R. bridge and the Mi nor Mill bridge, and there is a fall ot! 31 feet between the wooden bridge at the Kimball homeplace and Minor j Mill bridge on Creedmoor Road. A sn.-vpv if the water power at these two points shows 56 6 HP. available "< eent of the year on a basis of , 24 hours per day of service or 72 pel cent of the year on a basis of < 2 hours' per day of service. It is fur thermore estimated that 7 5 million cubic feet of water might be im pounded at these two points. So it - ' ° to us that here is available possibilities equal to what Durham is planning to do. Granville County has but little water power that is not on Tar River-and the town, should it go to Tar River for its water, should (Continued To Fifth Page) OXFORD'S BEST SINGERS i WILL BE HEARD IN EASTER MUSIC!

TOBACCO PLANTS FIND NO SALE HERE Board Of Trade At Tifton. Oa , Wants To Unload. ! { The Board of Trade of Tifton. Ga., wires John W. Hester, sec retary of the Oxford Chamber of, ! Commerce that the planters m that section have millions of tobacco plants for sale at $1.50 per 1000. ^ shipped promptly in ventilated cratex.' j The fact is Georgia has planted [three times as much tobacco as for-; merly. They are through planting j and have on hand thousands upon 'thousands of plants for sale. The ' farmers of Granville county should ! have no need for the^e plants. Our } farmers are turning their attention to cotton and food and feed. Less acreage in tobacco should be the slo ! gan of the Granville county farmers. Tourists Highiy Pleased With Oxford Writing from South Hill, Ya.. Mr. S. A. Wilbourn, a leading merchant says: "I was raised in Granville county and came to South Hill three years ago. I like this town very; ! well, but there is no place on earth so dear to me as old Granvilie. I; [very often hear tourists, who pass 'through Oxford, speak of what a beautiful town it is. i "We are looking forward to the coming of Reverend and Mis. G. T.[ Tunstall next week who wdl conduct revival services here, beginning next Sunday." i MANY TOURISTS DAILY PASSTHROUGH OXFORD ! - !< When two men in an auto started; down the Kational Highway yester-.i day, one bet the other that they; would pas at least a dozen tourists; cars between Oxford and Durham.; A count was kept and it ts said that, the party saw cars from approxi mately thirty northern . spates and i two provinces of Canada. They ( were tourists who have been pouring through from Florida during the i past ten days in an almost constant stream. SEVENTH DiSTRICT OF THEN. C.

Rerry Ar^ Chosen. i Delegates returning from the State I Democratic Convention heid in Ea! ' eigh yesterday stated that it was the [ most harmonious gathering in the history of the State. The definite assertion by Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the na\y, that he was not seeking presi dential honors and his request that his name be not put before the con vention for its endorsement and the awarding to women of four of the nine delegates at large to the Demo cratic national convention were the two outstanding events of the session. The platform was unanimously adopted. It mentioned the tax re forms which the Democratic party was said to have inaugurated where by the state aided the counties in bearing their tax burdens and at the same time provided for the forward program of the administration. The only mention of the Republi can party was to the effect that it was a party of fault-finding and neg ation, which had nothing to its cred it and relied mainly on criticisms of the Democrats for its issues. Nine delegates at large to the Democratic national convention were elected, as follows: Josephus Dan iels, former secretary of the navy: Governor Cameron Morrison; form er Lieutenant Governor O. Max Gard ner; State Chairman John G. Daw son: Colonel Wiley C. Rodman, com-: mander of the North Carolina Arneri-; can Legion, Mrs. Palmer Jerman of I Wake; Miss Mary Henderson of Row-i an; Mrs. J.
