A Correction. In reporting the splendid crop '.f Mr. F. L. Moore we made a slight mistake in giving the aver age received for his crop of tobac co. His crop weighed 1390 pounds and brought him, clear check $519.60, being an average of $37. f0. Mr. Moore is one of the prom ising young farmers' of Hurdle Mills and if any man, young or old, sells acrop for a larger aver se, clear check, we would be glad to hetr of it. Ten o'clock with all Members Present The usual routine of business was gone through and very little important matter being taken up. The commissioners adjourned :it 11 eleven o'clock to hear Mr. W. W. Kitchin speak. The commissioners voted to in struct the county road supervisor not to allow prisoners the privil ege of coming home, while serv ing, term of road, unless sickness demanded it. A good deal of com plaint has been registered against this and the commissioners acted wisely in instructing their road foreman as to this matter. It is a complete violation of the law for prisoners to be allowed this privilege. Teachers Association. The Association for the colored teachers will meet in Roxboro on next Saturday, and on nextSatur day week the Association for the white teachers will meet. Super intendent Beam insists that all 1 teachers attend. The final result seems to hinge pn the result of three western states, Minnesota, California and North Dakota. M looks as if Mr. Wilson has carried Minnesota: and California but the result is so close that t will take the official count to decide and itfmay be a day or two be fore this is known. President Wilson is conff dent of his re-election; The betting on Wall Street this, Thursday morning, is ten to one on Wilson. We held The Courier back making it a day late hoping that we might announce the final result, but this is the best we can give. To sum it all up it seems certain that Mr. Wilson has won. t?
