Oxford, n c., May 6.-The election here

officers: Mr.. S. w. Minor, mayor; for
commissioners, Messrs. ]. S. Brown, j..
S. Hall, w. z. Mitchell, w. H. Hunt. F..
W. Hancock, j. S. Hunt and John
Webb. AS only Democratic tick
ct is in the field, interest centers on
the graded school election" The maxi
mum tax on the hundred dollars will
be thirty cents and on the poll will
be ninety cents, but it is thought that
it will be necessary to levy only twenty
and sixty cents, as the school can be
run for that amount.
Governor Aycock delivered a fine ad-
dress in the fnterest of the graded
school at the opera house on Saturday
night The seating capacity was taxed
to the uttermost, a large number of
ladies being present.
1t is thought that a number of voters
who were opposed to the graded school
since hearing the Governors speech will
vote for it. The vote for the graded
school will be very close, but the i'm
preston prevails that it will be defeated.
