OXFORD N. c., oct. 2.-Oxford was
full of Democrats yesterday, the occa-
sion being the county convention. Mayor
w. s. Roystcr was made Chairman. and,
amid much enthusiasm, the following
ticket was nominated
Sheriff. T.. G.. Harris: Clerk, W. A..
Bobbitt: Treasurer, Il. r. York: Regis
trar Of Deeds G.. +. Crews: Coroner
j. A. Rem: Surveyor. Il. T.. Green
House OF Representatives, W. L. Taylor
and A. A. Lyon.
The convention was very large. enthu-
siastic, and harmonious. The ticket nom
mated Is a strong one and great effort
will be made TO redeem old Granville
from Republican misrule under the guse
Of Populism. The Republicans have en-
dorsed the Third party candidates for
sheriff, treasurer, and senator, and three
negroes and one white man comprise the
rest Of their ticket. They are dissatisfied
and divided. The Democrats are united,
and will make an aggressive campaign.
The largest break OF tobacco of the
year was made here to-day. Dealers were
able TO sell only three of the five ware
houses: color good; wrappers scarce;
prices entirely satisfactory.
The o. and III. train Was delayed some
time this morning on account of the en-
CINE getting off Of the track at Dabney.
No one was hurt.

| CAMBRIDGE. MASS. oct. 2.-Ther,
| will be no Haryard-Princeton football
game this year. on Saturday Captain
Emmons wrote to Captain Trenchard. OF
Princeton, telling him how the Harvard
men felt on the matter. The decision ],
lrrevocable, although 1t IS felt here that
the Princeton management Will send 4
formal challenge. hoping that Harvard
may be- forced into game. Such a re-
suit IS out Of the ques tlon.
Captain Enmons himself is chiefly re
sponSible for the position which har-
ward takes, although lie is supported by
the coaChers and the Athletic Committee,
His reason IL that Harvard cannot aflord
TO play more than two hard games In one
season. Harvard already has an agree
ment with Yale made for n term Of years
and one with Pennsylvania for this sea
son. a third game would, IL Is thought,
inJure the chances OF winning from \ ale.
Harvard cannot train her eleven for
a game with Princeton. and then for one
with Pennsylvania, and then FOR another

- win from Princeton or to make a good
showing the team would have 10 be hur-

Ii Is not a question OF date. Harvard
could not play Princeton on any day OF
the season. IL is simply that Harvard
plays the Springfield game above all
others. and will not do anything which

They are all beginning 10 realize that
two hard games are enough for any team

Yale played Pennsylvania, Harvard and
Princeton. This year there will be no
fale-Pennsylvania game.
Another fact which Is not generally
known is that If Harvard had consented
10 play Princeton this year Princeton
intended 10 cancel the game which she
had already arranged with Pennsylvania
thinking that three games were too many
and that the Harvard and Yale games
were the most important Of the three
Consequently, II il were not for the agree
ment Pennsylvania had with harvard
the Philadelphia eleven would have no
important game this season.
Next year Harvard Will be differently
situated. The agreement with Pennsylya-
MIA will have expired, ard Harvard will
be much more free TO act. Whether she
will play Princeton then will be decided
when the question arises.
one thing H. certain: The relations OF
Harvard and Pennsylvania have been so
pleasant that the Cambridge University

obliged to recognize challenge accom-
panied by the proper sum of money from

There have been many battles fought
where the champion did not know his

championship OF the world. | might cite
numerous battles where middle weights

A well-lghted Christian ought to fling
out the steady rays of cheerlulness. An
irritable temper is a sin, and a gloomy,
morose, responding temper is libel on
a Christian profession. Rejoice IN the
Lord always is the injunction OF the
Holy Spirit. Dark, foggy days are not
as heavenly as clear sunny days. The
natural note of a bird is not snrek or
a groan. but song. When a young man
or woman is converted, their compan-
ions ought not to say how mopy they
have become rather. they should say.

are: their religion seems TO SWeeten
