We wish we could say sonie nice things about the Alamance Fair, we would like to, but the Fair has badly gone down and it seems a most difficult, if not a hopeless task to resurect. Last year the fair was not so good as the one year before last, and this year is not as good as last year. What can be hoped for next year, Mebane thinks she could handle it all right, and as an evidence of this fact two of ifs citizens, Friday morning in discussing the Fair situation in the Mebane Drug store re marked they would subscribe five hundred dollars stock each to the fair, if Burlington would turn over her chartered rights and other incidentals. What says you Burlington, Mebane’s people believe they can arrange for it with but little trouble, and can make a success of it. for a certain Mr. Simmons most as siduously.—Burlington News. This is a large chunk of trans cendental reasoning is a shrewd politician.” Well is it not to his discredit that he is. *’He has ostensible undertaken to campaign for ihe Democratic party in North Carolina, but it has been seen in his published speaches that he is working for a certain Mr. Simmons most as siduously-” This is broad ,a com prehensive generic sweep of a complicated question, Mr. Sim mons a candidate for the nomi nation to the United States Sen ator, is expected to keep silent in reference to his candidacy, devote his entire time to State and national issue, while his pol itical character is being assailed and slandered by his opponent, while state politics is being trail ed in the mud by said opponent in his effort to win a place in the United States Senate, or turn the state over to publican party, totaly and unscrupelous as to who he hurts, or how he hurts, or by what means he hurts so he can lift himself to the senate. We have learned to regard Mr Kitchin as a dangeious man, in different as to results. Simple the CJole Blease of North Caro lina, anrt many of his followers as weak tools in his hands. Find something else to criticise Mr. Simmons about, the above clipping is too weak. Wanted--Men God give us men! A time liKe this Simmons j demands. Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does nut kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who posses opinions and will. Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a dema gogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crown ed, who live above the fog In public duty and in private think ing; For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds. Their large pro fessions and their little deeds. Mingle in seltish strife—lo! Freed om weeps. Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps! --J. G. Holland. J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's ! Cough Remedy for his boy who I'ad a the Ke- I cold, and before the bottle was all reckless, used the boy’s cold was gone. Is that not better than to pay a fiye dollar doctor’s bill? For sale by all Dealers DON’T YOU KNOW IT It has been a proud boast of the Kitchin fanatics, that Mr. Kitchin has not attack Mr. Sim mons personal character, or his private life. Now is not this so sweet of Mr. Kitchin, it is so nice in him not to do such a naughty thing. But in truth does Mr. Kitchin friends, or his enemies believe for one moment that Mr. Kitchin would spare Mr. Simmons feel ings, or his private life, if there was one breath of suspicion, one reason for distrust, or doubt, that would permited a whisper of scepticism about Mr. Simmons character, does not any one know, does not all know that Mr. Kitchin would give it trum pet tongue, shout it from every stump, and scream it from every warehouse floor. Don^t you know it?. Facts of the matter is that four years ago it was more of a fight be tween Kitchin and Simmons than a fight between Kitchin and Craig. | Durham Herrald. If that is true you should be able to tell us why it was nec essary for your man Kitchin to slander Craig so viciously in order to fight Simmons. It has never been proven to the con trary, but what he was slander ed him and it seems that >ou were among those that believed the slanders. THE KITCHIN CHARGES The public is not demanding that the university faculty fire the whole student bodv, but that it put a stop to hazing. To jack a student up and expel him for doing a thing that he had been led to consider a custom of the institution is taking an unfair ad vantage of h-m.—Durham Herrald. Yes sir, just such an unfair ad vantage of him as the laws of North Carolina take of any man who may violate them. Igno rance is no excuse for crime but much of the hazing business is simply a manifestation of a cruel brutal nature, and the crowd who may follow it should be wed out from every educa tional institution in this land. It was a manifestation of that spirit of the hazer for fifteen or twenty boys to go to a young mans room at night, who did not smoke and take their pipes out, and smoke in the boys room until they made him deathly sick, and it required the atten tion of a physician to relieve him. To have layed those boys one by one across a barrel and used a barrel stave upon them until justice was fully met would have left a crowd of boys who would have enjoyed standing to siting at least a week longer after the operation, and left them to believe that justice had a little hand in the game. The unfair advantage, would be a fine plea for a moot court only. Mr. Simmons detractors will have no occasion for lying after a month, and thejinfamy of it, it all will be a part of North Caro- linas most discreditable political his'ifory, and honest men will be ashamed to read it. Locke Craig’s Denial, De nunciation and Defiance. The Durham Sun demands that The Obser\er quote “in Mr. Kitchin's own words the things Mr. Kitchin said about Mr. Craig.” The Observer can best do this by giving what Mr. Craig said about the Kitchins. That will possibly give a sufficient idea as to what it was all about: . Asheville, N. C., June 19,1908. The Hon. Locke Craig issued the following statement tonight: “Have just been info»*med that before the primaries held in Nash and Franklin Counties, and others, on the day of these primaries, the report was cir culated in these counties hy the friends of Mr. Kitchin, that I not only voted for Blaine but while in Bertie County voted the entire Republican ticket and for the negroes on the ticket. This statement is utterly false, and was originated by some slanderer for the purpose of helping Mr. Kitchin, and injuring me. I never in my life voted for any Republican except Blaine, and I never in my life cast a ballot in the county of Bertie, and I never under any circumstances voted for a negro. “I have also information from a gentleman of absolute reliability that Congressman Claude Kitchin stated in the presence of a number of gentlemen last week in Louisburg, Franklin County, a tew days prior to the primary in that county, that he could get an affidavit from a reliable man in Pertie County lo the effect that I not only voted for Blaine but for the entire Republican ticket, including the uegro Congressman, O’Hara I have been further informed that Mr. W. V/. Kitchin has intimated in some of his speeches that I voted the Republican ticket in Bertie County. “If th-'se statements be denied I can produce my authoritiy. I denounce any and all of such allegations as vile falsehoods, originated by some desig ning person for the advantage of Mr Kitchin. Such methods have been freely adopted without hesitation in the desperate attempt to injure me with the Democrats of North Carolina. It is astonishing that Demoera^s should r€sort to such tactics. I defy either of the Kitchins or any of their supporters to produce any proof of these slanders. ”^News and Observer, June, 20 1908 A critics work is one of the easiest it is possible to do, and the severest, are the most wan ton, and deliberate in there per version of facts. It was just so easy that A. L. Brooks had a cynch all to him self last Wed nesday night in Mebane in slob bering over Senator Simmons re cord, and repeating the paid for slanders that have been or iginated out of the State in cer tain mercenary publications. It was by no means generally known that Brooks was coming here as Kitchins hired critic of Senator Simmons. It was said he came here to preach straight Democratic doctrine, well the people got fooled if they ex pected to hear a Democratic speach from Brooks. Brooks came to abuse Mr. Simmons and further make of this senatorial fight a mud slinging diverson for Kepuolicans. WOULD KICK THEM OUT The Democratic National com mittee with head quarters at Fifth Avenue Building New York writes, as to the hope full ness of the situation for the election of a Democrat for Presi dent, we quote a paragraph: “While victory is inevitable if all Democrats do their duty, still the door of Democracy stands wide open this year. Above that door is emblazoned the word “welcome” and that welcome is tendered to all independent vot ers. Mr. Kitchin insults Mr. Simmon’s friends, and then rabidly iniects in the ruling of the Democratic Committee in regard to the primary a condi tion that spits in the face of thousands of honest voters. If they should fail to vote for Kitchin he would kick them the Democratic party. Saves Leg Of Boy, “It seemed that my 14-year old boy would have to lose his leg, on account of an ugly ulcer caused by a bad bruise, ” wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone, N. C. “All remedies and doctdrs treatment failed till we tried Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and cured him with one box.'* Cures bums, boils, skins eruptions, piles. 25c at Mebane Drug Co. Try Scissors Next TInne, "She meant to chop off the chick en's head with a hatchet,” says a Mis souri editor, “but only succeeded in cutting off her forefinger. The next time she has designs against the life of a chicken we recommend the use of a pair of scissors.”—^Atlanta Con- itltutlon. out Reputation Carefully Kept.

He has oBtensibly undertaken to campaign for the Damocratic party in North Carolina, but it has been seen in his I-ublished speeches that he is working There is one thing that can be said in favor of the republicans When they say they favor a high protective tariff you know just what they mean. —Durham Herrald. There is an other thing that may be said of your man Kitch in, when he begin to slander Simmons, there are thousands of people that begins to know what he means, in fact it is too infernal mean for a man to be guilty of who has been honored by the people of North Carolira as has Mr. Kitchin.
