Against the Republican Candi-
dates

In response to call for "honest
men to the 'front.' number of the best
colored men of Granville met in the
court house, and passed a series of
resolutions, of which the following is
one:
Resolred 3. That we regard the
nomination made for county officers
by our late convention as having no
merit in them, and as unworthy of the
support of good citizens, having in our
opinion been obtained by improper
means.-Oxford Day.

The Democratic county ticket is an
admirable one. Let all get together
now and put up big majorities for all
these excellent candidates, who will do
honor to the county of Vance, when
called to perform the duties for which
their party has nominated them.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1892-11-03

The people of Vance county will
take special delight in voting for T. +.
Hicks for the Legislature, E. A.
Powell for Sheriff, \. NJ. Basket for
Treasurer, ?. E. Rowland for Register
of Deeds, J. B. White for Surveyor
and G. A. Cunningham for Coroner.
They are men beyond reproach, and
merit the personal popularity they
enjoy.

There is not man on the Demo-
cratic county ticket who does not COM
mend himself to popular support and
the sutfrages of the people. In point
of integrity of character, intellectual
qualifications and fitness for the dis
charge of the duties of the office for
which they offer all are we'll rounded
men deserving of election.

There are no more fit men for the
offices to which they ask the voters OF
the county to elect them than Capt.

candidates for surveyor and coroner re-
spectively. They are in every way
qualified to discharge the duties that

Capt. J. 2. Leach ought to be elected
to the Senate from this district COM

A. M. Basket is an honest, sturdy
farmer who has been successful in his
own business and will make a faithful
and acceptable county treasurer if
elected. A man of the highest in

commends itself to the cordial support
of all classes of our citizens.

There are various reasons why T.
L. Hicks should be elected to the
Legislature, but the principal one is,
because he would make a better rep
resentative than any other man who
is a candidate for the position, and
upon this hang all the others. Work
for Hicks, vote for Hicks, elect Hicks.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1892-11-03

As our member in the Legislature
7. T. Hicks would be the friend and
representative of all the people, white
and black. He would do more than
eat peanuts and draw his pay, which
is the only thing Vance county has
ever had put down to her credit yet.
He would exercise an influence in the
halls Of the Legislature and be able to
do something Of practical benefit to
his constituents and the State. Let
every man who has the good name of
the county and the welfare OF the
people at heart work to procure the
election of Mr.. Hicks.

HERE'S A GOOD STORY.
Indianapolis Girl Driven from Home Dens
Boys Clothes and Becomes Tramp.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, May IA. - Last night
freight conductor LeiRe Love. of the Big
Four. found frail-looking girl oE Top Of
box.ear Of his train. dressed In boys
clothes. The girl said she was from near Steu-
benville. o.. and had taken to tho life of q
perennial tramp in order to see the world.
She excused the garb she wore by declar-
ing that abe was in favor of dress reform
for women. The venturesome miss refused
to give her name. and acted very independ-
emit.
The girl In her queer attire got off here.
and was arrested here this evening and
placed in Jail. To the Journal correspond
emit she told very pitIful story. She did
not try TO conceal her identity any
longer. and with choking sobs gave
her true name'as Miss Jane Wilson. of In
dianapolis. She said her father was dead.
and her mother married William Clsnnon,
who, she declared, drove her away from
homo several weeks since. She tearfully
admitted having drifted into bad com psny,
aud went to Alexandria, where she
met ,, glass blower named d. Dayton
went to Elwood. where they lived for
some time. The man finally dressed her IN
boys clothing and kicked her out. Since
then she has been travelling around In tho
same garb. afraid to make known her sex
and unable to obtain other clothes
She wore frock coat. colored shirt and
natIy derby hat. with her hair clipped close
toher head. She saws lot of glass blowers
cut her hair one night in a barber shop at
Elwood during u lark. The exposure to
weather caused her features to color until
it would require close insuection to detect
her sex. She says since tho man de-
serted her and kicked her ont
she has had no money and
was compelled to play tramp to get food to
eat When arrested she was making an
effort to board another freight train for
Indianapolis. anxious to get home.
Tho officers will Investigate. and If her
story be true the girl will have
her clothing exchanged and she will be
sent home. When arrested she screamed
like child at being taken to inii. In fact,
abe appears little more than o child, and
at first glance would seem TO have met with
many more kicks and rebuffs than kindness
during her life.
