Western States.to Hear From.
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?
