Mdi'ganion Mov. 8.—In to-days Observer I note where your Weut- worih correspondent f-avs that the fifth '.ii.strict will be without repre sentation in the national Congress after January 1st next on account of the fact that the piesent Con gressman, Mr. Kitchiu, has been elected governor, tie also states that the same state of affairs existed in 1884 when General Scales was elected Governor. Now let’s keep lustory straight. 1 was but a child at that time but remember very well that when General Stjales who was the Ct>Dgressmau from the fifth dis trict was nominated for Governor be immediately resigned his seat in Congress and .lames W. Reid, the the Democratic nominee, was voted for in a separate box at the Novem ber election and elected to serve the short term which began iu Decem ber, 1884: and ended March, 1885. He was also elected to the long term, which did not begin until March, 1885. Had Mr. Kitchin done the right thing and not wanted to act so hoggish in the matter, as soon as he was noraiaed for Gor- enor be would have resigned his position in Congress and allowed the successful man in last Tuesday’s election take his saat in Decemiaer of this year. As far as the fifth district not being represented for the first two tiionths of next year, it certainly has had no representative in the past Congress as Kitchin has not been in his seat bnt id North Carolina making his campaign for the norai illation for Governor; and in the opinion of a great many people, the writer included, it has been very poorly represented for ^he past twelve years.

G. H. ^ (jblo* Austinburg. . ,«i;s Dr. to ot"lirtr;ackaae i>nly) rCorElkhart,Ind the Dispatch bfJPl i to Washington 1909 for the liave accepted Tennessee ha'^e the undesirable dis tinction of being the only states in the Union in which the slaughter of Robins is permitted by law, and recent investigations show that not less than 9,000,000 robins are killed by some 20,000 pothunters in these three states during the win ter months. Patient investigation by ornithologists has proved that a robin in a year earns §1 in the de struction of insects injurious to crops. The pothunters sell them for 5 cents a dozen. Tins wanton waste of millions of dollars is some thing which should appeal to the hard, common sense of every Southern farmer. In an investigation of this de plorable bird slaughter, a writer in Recreation brings a sweepijig in dictment agrainst the sportsmen z\ Virginia, North Carolina and Ten nessee, declaring that they are re sponsible for the lack of legislation for protection of the robin. It is asserted that as a class they have for years opposed the enactment of law.s putting rooms on the forbidden list, on the ground that if the shoot ing of these birds were made un- iawiul the negroes and other pot hunters would soon wipe out the quail. It is a flimsy argument at the best, and not stand the test of analysis. News Over the State | An old citizen of Raleigh who died last week was found to hav^e f47,000 in gold and currency in a safe which had for years stood by his bedside. The safe was opened by his executors and the money taken to the bank. R. E.

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Weston’s little daughter Odena, ot near Statesville met with a horrible death one day last week. The little girl was in the house alone, her mother being in the store a short distance away when her clothes caught fire from an open fire place which burned her so badly that she died a few hours later.

Nov. 8th 1908 at the age of 10 months avd 2i days after being sick less than 48 hours. Joe was a large, bright and beautiful boy, '"ho had been in the home just long enoug to have the complete affec tions of every member of the family. His death coming so suddenly was a severe blow to the family and friends. The funeral was conduct ed by Rev. J. D. Andrew iu Mt. Herman M. P. church Nov. 9 and tiis little body wilh a smile upon the face was laid to rest in the giaveyard by that church. fhe sorrowing parents have the sympathy of a number of friends in great loss.
