A REPUBLICAN WANTS KIT CHIN. Says Kitchin Hss Put Down the "Rinj" and Routed the "Big Four," Therefore He Will Vote For Him. The following article recently appeared in the Charlotte Ob server: Mr. Editor : lam a Republican liecause my father liefore me was, and tiecause I have long thought the principles of the Republican party make for the upbuilding of the country in wealth and prosperity and the preservation of our liberties. My grandfather fought for seven years for the Inde pendence of the I'nited States. Notwithstanding I am and al ways have been a Republican, i am for Kitchin for Governor, lam for him liecause he lias accomplished what 1 have been lighting for eight years to accomplish—he has put down the "ring." Now that this Moses has been found who has put an Iron foot on the hard masters who have held the people of the State in bondage for more than eight years, it Is to be hoped that he will lead us from the wilderness of our oppressions and troubles and safely deliver us in the promised land of pollticlal freedom. The "Big Four" are routed and put down—and they should lie kept down. I want to advise the Republicans to support and vote for Kitchin for Governor, and I will state a few of my reasons thereof. It was this same ring, this "Big Four," who undertook the impeachment of two of our Supreme Court justices, a pollticlal scheme which had for Its aim and purpose, in my oppinion, the elevation of certain Democrats *o office. A good many of the demo who led lu that unholy fight, and l»ersecutlon thereafter wen* placet} in office. Some of them have lieen left by pollticlal events since the outrageous act of a few office seekers. Now, if we Republicans will not run candidates for the legislature in those counties which favor Kitchin for the I'nited States Sen ate, and place Bynuni or Thompson up for Lieutenant Governor we will realize the biggest victory ever known in North Carolina. No man who votes this ticket would ever regret it. .lust as soon as 1 get money enough I want the picture of Kitchin in a large frame to hang up in my house for my grand children and great-grandchildren to look at after I have gone from tills world, and 1 ho|te our county commissioners will have bis picture in a large frame suspended In our beautiful court house for the rising and distant generations to look at. If the South could name the Presi dent of tlie Pulled States, I would be for tlie Hon. \V. \V. Kitchin. and if she ever has one it should lie lie. I used to pla.v poker a good many years ago. I could never l>eat four aces unless I held the eticher. \V. \V Kitchin lias got the euclier on the "Big Four." 1 want the "big Four" to read the 37th Psalm of David, and also everybody In the State to read it. and esi>eclaUy the widow of Judge Furehes, and they all will lenrn how to stand i>erdecution. I hojie they wIH persecute me, for I have learned now to stand it as taught by the Psalm. If the "Big Four" will put out their preacher and have him to reud that Psalm and preach from It as earnestly as he preached prohibi tion, he will make many true believers. I will tell you why 1 want a Kitchin Legislature to undo what the Aycock Legislature of 1900 did. Aycock said that during the fusion admlnstratlon the sound of pistols and mocking-birds could be heard in the land. Now, If this Legis lature will commence and relieve us of the burdens of the Aycock Legislature the people will rejoice. The Governor's salary should lie re duced to #1 ,000 and the others ac cordingly, and all laws made at said time should be released. If a good one Is accldently found on the status books, ft should lie left. This eighty years under Glenn and Aycock has created greater sounds from mocking-birds and pistols than ever the fusion administration did. If the wrongs of the last' eight years are corrected, I believe we will hear no more In the State the sounds of pistols and mocking birds. My Boss, Adams, says not to drink Kitchin tea, but I will put Kitchin Governor and Taft Presl ... ilent of the United States, and then If we can have John Grant for Congress we will have the most glorious Union, and the grandest State therein will lie our great State of North Carolina. I hope that the Republican party will call Its convention to meet at Charlotte for ttaers recently the Democrats had one of the grandest i convention)* recorded in history. I would like to know every man | who in in favor of W. W. Kitchin for the United States Senate and an it will cost only one penny 1 hope every one in favor of him will drop me a card to that effect to Ituther fordtou. Taft will be elected, and 1 want all Republicans to favor Senator Overman and request of the President that he be placed in the Cabinet, as we are entitled to a Southern man, and Overman acted so honestly and nobly in the recent contest that there is no doubt of his ability and claims upon the place. Excuse this article which has Iteen dictated hurriedly by an unlearned man. Now. 1 close by saying read the 37th Psalm of David. Please every reform pa|»er copy tills. Victory will be ours. HENRY HODGE. Kutherfordton, N. C. Negro Boy Drowned In Dodd's Mill Pond. A negro boy about 20 years old, son of one-armed Hughes, was drowned in Dodd's mill pond near Francisco last week. He was in swimming with several com panions, when be stepped into water too deep for him to over come, and sank before he could be rescued.

STAXDAftD OIL COMPANY [!■■»» ulil) THE DANBURY REPORTER. WHO WILL THE REPUBLICANS NOMINATE. Messrs. H. E. Fries, Thos. Settle, Z. V. Walser and Others Mentioned As Possible Candidates For Gov-' ernor On the Republican Ticket. Greensboro, July 3. —The pres- ' ence of the Republicans attraoted ! ta Greensboro to-day by the meet ing of the State executive com- 1 mittee of that party is the occa sion of a revival of talk as to the 1 identity of the gentleman who is ' to oppose Mr. Kitchin for Govern- ' or. Among the visiting states men are supporters of every man whose name has been mentioned in connection with the nomination but if there is a favorite, the fact i is not apparent to the onlook-! er. Dr. Cyrus Thompson, one of the shrewdest and most astute politicians in the State, has a strong following with a certain element of the party, a few Re-: publicans even professing to be- j lieve it possible to carry the election with the Onslow county man at the head of the ticket, j He is held up as the peer of any ; man in North Carolina as a de bater —and the Republicans ap pear particularly anxious to run a good debater this year. There seems to be bat one serious ob ' jection to Dr. Thompson as a candidate for Governor, and that > is his long-standing friendship i with and for Marion Butler. This ) fact, in the opinion of quite a few people, eliminates the former | Secretary of State from the race. MK. R. E. FRIES MENTIONED. The opposite of Dr. Thompson in every respect is Mr. Henry E. Fries, the well-known uianufac turer and capitalist of Winston- I Salem, who is being put forward as a "business man's candidate." ( Mr. Fries is without experience in practical politics, as the game j is played, but his friends say that what he lacks is this particular is more than counterbalanced by , reconized ability as a successful business man—a man who has done something for his State, a man whose ideas are sound, who . is conservative in thought and . progressive in action. The Ob , server's correspondent has it straight from a Republican who I ought to know what he is talking about that Mr. Fries is willing to l accept the nomination and make the race. i EX-.IL'IK!E BYNI'M ALSO. •; Then there is ex-Judge W. I'. i Bynuni, Jr.. of this city, who ' says he is too busy practicing law - to bother with politics. Never-' i theless, he has been asked repeat . edly to permit the use of his name ' as a candidate for the guber -1 natorial nomination. Without' , disparaging Judge Bynum's splendid qualities and exception- ally fine ability, it is not amiss to say he does not enter seriously 1 into the equation for two reason : First, because he doesn't want to, and second, because he is a free lance when it comes to giving expression to views of party policy and practice. Judge Bynuin may side with the "ins" today, but that is no guarantee that he may not espouse the cause of the "outs" to-morrow, or before to-day ia gone, if his judgement and conscience should dictate such a course. MR. Z. V. WALSER WANTS IT. Mr. Zeb Vance Walser, of Lex ington, once Attorney General of North Carolina, and later Supreme Court reporter, wants the nomina tion, and it is expected that he will make a fight for it. Certain ly everything points in that di rection. His neighbors and; friends have brought him out and j are pushing his candidacy with| energy. There is one stumbling block in Mr. Walser's way, how ever, aud it is a stumbling block not easily overcome. To be plain, I 1 the organization is not for Mr. I ' Walser for Governor. Many Republicans say it would 1 !be good politics to nominate a western man for Governor, es pecially in view of the result of the reoent fight over the guber natorial nomination in the Demo cratic party and these men insist that the nomination should go to Mr. J. J. Britt, of Asheville. Mr. ' Britt, it may be remarked in pass- I ing, will be entirely acceptable to the organization. He is a man of parts—a Republican to the man ner born, and no mean foe to meet in forensic combat. It was said here to-day that Mr. Britt is a receptive candidate for the nom ination. and the prediction was made that the fight will be be tween him and Mr. Walser. MA* HEAK FROM STTLE. The brilliant, dashing Settle, who has been pronounced a po litical corpse by one high in au thority, may figure in the guber natorial contest before it is over, although he has no intention of becomiug a candidate forthenom nation. Mr. Settle has never felt that he was trnated exactly right by the State convention in April, , which refused to consider a reso lution he presented ensuring the Democrats for the manner in which the prohibition question was submitted to the people and declaring for the principle of lo cal self-government, aud it is alto gether probable that he will be heard from again when the next convention meets. It will be re called that the April convention was adjourned while Mr. Settle was on the Hoor endeavoring to get a bearing on his resolution. The Republicans with whom The Observer correspondent has talked do not place any credence Jin the report that Judge Prit i chard may resign his Beat on the Circuit Court bench to make the race for Governor. In fact, his friends do not think that Judge I Pritchard's party loyalty calls for any such sacrifice as this. I James Cantillion, of Marionette, Wis., who was totally blind, re gained his sight at Belleven Hos pital, in New York City, during a fit of.hysterics which followed the surgeon's announcement to him that his case was considered hope : less, snd that he probably would remain blind for life. While temporarily insane, Mrs. Augusta P. Johnson drowned her | four little children in the cistern I farm-house near Ida Grove, la. ! Her husband was in the field at I the time. After drowning her j children she tried to drown her self, but neighbors and people 1 from town came running in and rescued her. Morris Grass, who with Mrs, Grass was spending a few days in \ Asheville, last week enroute to JSan Francisco, reported to the ; authorities last Friday morning that he had been robbed of $l5O in cash, and a letter of credit for two thousand pounds sterling, There is no clue to the robbery.
