WE WANT THE FAIR.
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. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio,
I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's

reckless, used the boy’s cold was gone. Is that
not better than to pay a fiye dollar

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.'*

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.

Simmons is a shrewd politician. 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.

Kidney 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 septrated from the blood and it 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.
