WONT SWALLOW IT.
The State Democratic com
mittee decides after much
wrangling that a Democrat in
order to vote in the primary
election for senator must vote
for every nominee on the Dem
ocratic ticket. Of course this
tyranical, and drastic measure
may be forced down the throats
of those who vote, but it will
have much to do with reducing
the number who will vote in the
primary. The committee have
said that those who vote in a
Democratic primary must not
vote a Republican ticket, but it
is none of their busmess to
force a man to yote for and
support a man whom they do
not care too support.
That a few men should at
tempt to force such rank and
unjust conditions upon the Dem
ocratic party will have its weight
in driving a plenty of them out
of the ranks. Such an extreme
measure has never been attempt
ed before, and it will not work in
this case. People have long
since ceased to think because a
few self delegated individuals
shall foist a candidate on a tick
et that the candidate becomes a
paragon in politics, and they
are honor bound to support
him. We shall feel no regrets
if this brazen assumption shall
be severely rebuked.
There are Democrats, and a
plenty of them who have loyaly
supported the Democratic party
for long years before Governor
Kitchin, or his partizan was
born, and they do not indulge
any conceipt when they express
the opinion that they know how
to vote. These men will not
permit any partizan sympathisers
to ram down their throats any
portion of a ticket that they do
not feel disposed to swallow.
Tyrany in any form is repugnant
to a true American, and the
idea of making a condition that
a Democrat must swallow the
whole hog, or none, hair, hide,
and tail, will not go with a large
number of Democrats. They
have alwajs assumed the right
to discriminate against those
who have been foisted upon the
party, for partizan purposes,
those they did not approve of,
they will continue to do so, or
stay home on election day.
and attractive advertisment, .
“men wanted, men would not |
be so averse to joining the army;
if it were not for so many |
discouraging reports that co m i
from the army post:. Men who
have claims to be gentlemen, do
not relish the idea of being,
kicked around by petly officers, i
or made cleaners of spittoons,
and other filthy vessels.
We might think more of Mr.
Kitchins candidacy, if it was not
for the very unfair way in which
he and his friends have conduct
ed it. Never since oar first
knowledge of Democratic politics
have we known a canvas for
the support for an office to have
been conducted upon such a low,
and dishonorable scale as has
Mr. Kitchins. Things have been
said, and facts perverced for un
true and unfair purposes to de
feat Mr. Simmons, that should
shame a camp of followers of
Bleass of South Carolina. Mr.
Kitchin is not blood thirsty, but
some one who knows, should tell
us if he has not prostituted every
power and influence at the com
mand of the Governor of North
Tarolina to make of his office a
star chamber to a seat in the
United States Senate. MrJ
Kitchin may win the office
through this method, but he can
not win our confidence, or res
pects through it.
If Mr. Kitchin was all his
partizan friends paint him he
would be a great man, but he is
not, and all of the carefully
studied effort at deception in
which the people mav be
duped, especialy if he is nomi
nated to the Senate wont make
him great. It is a notorious fact
that in Mr. Kitchins twenty ye?rs
of official life, he has nevor
xnade a record for anything but
to draw his salary, and pave the
way for an other term in office,
and he is as smooth a politician |
as ever gum shoed it over a:
district. !

As Children Play
*‘Did I ever tell you,” asks Ervin
Nelson, “how my younget boy bap
tized his cat? No! It was like this:
“Walter’s pl:iymate was the son of a
Ba])tist })roacher. The ‘kid’ had seen
a ffw ba])tizinff exercises and was anx-
iop ; to iiiiicat-3 them. So the children
caught the family cat and endeavored
to practice the deep-saa method of
immersion with the aid of a washtub.
The cat couldn’t have baen sincere
in her desire to lead a better life—she
scratched and squealed until the boys
had to let her go. Then the boy next
doov hollered:
“Dog-gor.e you! Go on and be an
Ej)i?copal cat, if you want to!”—

Kiifeey Troubles
Can be Avoided
You cannot afford to neglect the
slightest kidney ailment—it’s hazard
ous to do so.
The poisonous waste material must
be separated from the blood and if the
kidneys become weakened this is im
possible.
That means a poisoned system.
That’s why neglect means trouble—
the ailment becomes chronic and re
sults in Rheumatism or Bright’s Dis
ease.
NYAL’S
A Little Grave.
Keep green, dor.r God, a grave that
lies
Beneath the wMo and starry skies.
Keep sweet with sleep and give him
rest
Whose haiids are folded on his brerst
While dreamless slumber fills his eye?.
Keep still, Ol.ord, our hearts that beat
Wi»h hunger for his soft child-feet.
With quiet son^^ let springtime stray
Abovo liini. and tho violets lay
Their yeivet lips on l.is so sweet.
Keep fr:>sh tnc trailing vines that grow
Where we have laid our dear one low;
\nd tcach us, Jb ather, through his dust
The upward looking anil the trust
Tb it know they shor’d not ask to
know’.
Keep bright, dear God, the smile he
wore.
The rosebud that his soft hand bore;
And teach us, ob, beyond all this
Waits in eternal dream, the bliss
Of clasping those we love once more!
