The sequel to a most distressing ac cident was the death of Misa Margaret Sellars of Burlington Sunday, the sixteen year ^old daughter of Mr. B. R. Sellars. Miss Sillars had with a num ber of friends been acaidently caught on a high trustle near Old Port in the mountains of the West some weeks past. Seeing the utter impossibility of escape she leaned as far out on the edge of the trustle as possible, but not sufficiently to escape the engine. She was knocked down quite a distance, receiving injuries that finally resulted in her death. Miss Sellars was a young girl 16 years of age, of a bright and sweet disposition, and was loved by all 'vho knew her. Hea death, coming as a surprise has cast sorrow over the en tire city.

M, Pearsall, Ex-Governor Aycocks private secretary proves the falsity of many of Kit chins statements alleging what the Governor thought and said. It is a pretty tough thing to tell a falsehood on the dead. Here it is. His mind was clear and positive as to these matters. Col. Pearsall said: “I recall distinctly the morning the papers announced the first vote on Lorimer. I remember we (Governor Aycock and myself) had been to the Supreme Court room and were walking across the Capitol grounds and were naturally discuss'ng the Lorimer vote. We stopped at the W’cst end of the Capitol; Governor Aycock placed his foot on the lower step and told me that he had done what not many people had done, that is, he had read every woi d of the evidence in the case, and upon the evidence, he said, Lorimer was not guilty; that no honest jury in North Carolina would conyict him on this evidence. He said that Senator Sim mons had voted right, as he (Aycock) thought, and if he had been in his place he would have voted as he did. nesday night t«» an audience of about 150 voters. His speech lasted for two hours and was a glowing eulogy of him self an! hia record 'and a tirade of abuse for Senator Simmons, There was nothing new or startling about his speech. It was the same old line of cheap sophistry, wilful misrepresenta- and Guilford, on the West!

It is expected that several hundred Christian men will be registered to participate in this meeting of church men to deliberate and plan for larger and better things in the work of advancing Chris’ts Kingdom on earth. This conference will be led by men of large Christian experience and well known ability. J. Cambell White, general secretary of the Movement, and W. E. Doughty, educational secre tary will be there and give the laymen the benefit of their rich experience, and \ I f jrward Missioparyjspirit in the church, i and especially among the men of the church, to arouse them to greater efficiency in the work of the church, and world-wide evangelization. It will “I also remember on this occasion, , as on others he told me. as he had told' male member of Others on other occasions in my pre sence, that Senator Simmons’ votes on all the questions he had been criti cised about were as he (Aycock) would have voted if he had been in Senator Simmons place. “Therefore, instead of Governor Aycock being against Senator Simmons on these votes and as to his policy, he | was with him. “Governor Aycock became a candi- j date because of the persistence of his i friends and because he wished the great office of United States Senator. “Before the death of Goveri.or Ay cock, the charge was made, which could always be traced to the supporters of Governor Kitchin, that he was running in the interest of Senator Simmons. This charge was denied by him and hurt him because such a falsehood would have been disingenious, entirely out of course with his life-long record the church should attend for his own benefit and training, and carry back to his church the great blessings that will tlow from the concerted actions of these men or to who want to be some thing, and do some tangible in the Master’s Cause. Hunting and Fishing serve. re candor, open and frank dealing with the people, and that any should suspect him in assuming any other attitude or being a party to any deception, however remote, was galling to his pure heart and sincere soul “This charge of course was denied j by Governor Aycock and what he said Mr. J. E. Latham who purchased the W. A. Murray farm a short dis tance West of Mebane, is having sur veyed a most eli gable site for the location of a large lake. Mr. W. E. Ham who understands the location pretty thoroughly belives they can dam back fifty acres of water with an average of ten feet It is not known what these gent’eman cont^emplate, but it is thought, they will establish a a club house with a large hunting, and for I fishing reserve. It’s an Appaling Record. “It is an appalling record of corrup- ^ tion. To say that Mr. Rooseyelt’s I own hands are clean in this scandal is j to deny truth itself. To be sure, he did not put this corporation money Back Creek items ^ . 1 ' into his own pocket, as a Tammany aepeopkbeheved. sotto^ He did not blackmail I these corporations for his own financial 1 profit.

He is not nere to deny this falsehood, would to God that he was, but he has friends living who can and who do deny it. Kitchin said in his speech that the reason Aycock and Chief Justice Clark came out for the Senate w^as because fitters is being made.

It was the wish of his friends that it should not be, but Governor Kitchin has brought it in, and he, so to speak, is his witness. In the interest of truth, and in justice to the whole people of this State. I feel that it is my duty as a close personal and confidential friend of Governor Aycock to give the facts. “As youknow^,” said Colonel Pearsall I was with Govenor Aycock as his of them to buy plac^ and power for himself. He abused his great offi'*e to promote his own political fortunes. Nobody knows better than he that if he had not been President of the United States, with this tremendous power of life or death over trusts and corporations, the Harrimans and the Morgans and the Fricks and the Goulds and the Standard Oil people and the life-insurance people and all the rest of this Wall street crew would j never have poured their millions into his campaign chest.”—New York World ship four years ago and probably twenty-five of his followers sat and cheered him occasionally. The remainder of the crowd heard him in silence, except when he displayed the picture of Senator F. M. Simmons on the back of the American Lumber Journal, and then there was some cheering. It was plainly a Simmons crowd and they could not resist the temptation to stick in a rousing cheer for their great leader. It riled the governor. He grew red in the face, leaned far over the railing of the bar and went for the men who had cheered the picture. He declare i with great heat that the performanae of the Simmons enthusiasts was disgraceful; that it showed how far Simmons had been able to republicanize democrats; that they ought to be ashamed of Simmons and of themselves, and a great deal more to the same general effect. He promised the cheerers that he would give them I something else to cheer about and later in his speech, when he had accused Senator oimmons of one heinous offense or the other, he would pause dramatically shake his locks, fix the crowd with a glare from his eagle eye and demand that the Simmons folks cieer. They merely laughed. Altogether, the governor made a disgusting spectacle of himself. Fis •eloquence fell on deaf ears. Even his satellites, who clustered round about him in the bar, did not cheer. Once in a while they put up a feeble dem onstration, but it was very feeble. He is a practiced campaigner and more than oncc he worktrd up to a peoration culminating in the name of Woodrow Wilson, but the crowd did not rise to the occasion. The spectacle of a man holding high office in the party, ridiculing and abusing one of the state’s most gifted and trusted demo cratic leaders and at the same time delivering himself of eloquent praises for the democratic leader in the nation, did not set well with the crowd. Beginning his series of charges against Senator Simmons, he said “These are serious charges, made by the governor of North Caaolina against a North Carolina senator.” Mr. Kitchin intended that this should deeply impress every man who heard him, but it fell flat. There was not a man in the audience but that thought that in addition to their being made by the governor of North Carolina, those charges were being made by a designing and dan gerous politician against a servant of the people who happens to hold an office that the aforesaid politician wants.

The men who heard him, even his blinded and deluded followers, had not forgotten that four years ago Kitchin went up and down the state of North Carolina, handing out the same kind of vinification and abuse, slanders and misrepresentations and the object of his attack then was the pure and knightly Locke Craig. He had nothing against Simmons then. Locke Craig stood between him and a job he wanted and by every means in his power he i sought to discredit Craig with the peo ple of North Carolina, He charged Craig with being a republican then, even as he is charging Simmons now, not because there was any truth in it, but because Craig stood in the way of his ambitior. When he came to his own record the governor barely hit the high places. He broadly claimed credit for the building of 1700 miles of good roads in the state during his administration, when it is an absolute fact that he has not made a good roads speech during his term, or uttered one word for the good roads caus3. He claimed credit for 250 mites of railroad, He claimed credit for big appropriations for public education and for several other things. Harking back to his congressional record, he claimed credit for establish ing scores of rural routes in his district, defeating Tom Settle, stopping No. 97, the Southern’s fast mail train, and several other things, none of them important and none of them showing any.

The Lexington Dispatch has the following account of Governor Kitchir s speech in that town. Governor Kitchin spoke here Wed- His speech here Wednesday night was a source of delight to more than one republican. One republican who was at the helm in the country for many years and was for more than a decade an office-holder, declared the next day that Governor Kitchin had done the republican party a great deal of good by his speeches in the county and that he wished he could be induced to make a few more. He recognized the fact that internal strife such as Mr. Kitchin is seeking to stir up, is just the thing his party needs this year snd he wants more of it.
