Thundered Their Denun- ceation. The citizens of New Bern, and among them some of the best in that famous old city held and indignation meeting last week and passed a peries of resolution denouncing in the severest language Mr. Kitchins wanton, and vicious attack upon Senator Simmons political character.

Oct. 12th, 1912 Editor Leader I want to thank you for your re marks on the need of a road from Meb ane to Cedar Grove. “There are a number of people liv ing out in the direction of Cedar Grove that would be glad to see a good road running in from Oran^ co unty East by Captain Graves.” Since the supreme court has d^cic’e 1 the Orange county bond issue valid, it seems to the writer that there should be a road built from the Harmony neighoorhood by Mr. Jo'"! Picketts to Mebane, or to the Alamance county line, and then the Mebane people to build into Mebane. There is a very large territory lying between Cedar Grove and Mebane that has no public road to Mebane without going two or three miles out of the way. The Meb ane people are as much interested in this matter as we are, and we trust that they will help us to get this road. It will help the tobacco market at Mebane very much. I would]* suggest that a public meeting be held at Hugh es Mill to discuss this question and see if something can be done to get this road, I know that our next county commissioner, Mr. John P. Hughes will do all he can to get in this road. I hope you will discuss this matter and get your workmans to get busy. I hope you will prirt this letter. A friend to Mebane. The Sowing ana ihc Reaping. Be not deceived; God i>3 not mocked; for whatsover a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal. 6 chap. 7 verse The above was the subject of Rev, T. A. Sykes discourse at the Mebane Methodist church last Wednesday^.night They were the solemn and pophetic words uttered by St. Paul, and they carried with them the most parten- tion meaning to the world of any ever uttered. “For he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.” To whioh are you sowing. He devided his tex|; under three ^operate heads, the nacurial, or physicial condition, the mental, or condition of the intelect, the spiritual, or soul condition. If you violate natures laws and do something, that is imprudent and improper yovr physical body must suffer the penalty, if you stress your mind and do violence to your mental well being then suffering follows. If you become a violater of the gi*eat moral, or religious code, then the severest penalties follows. Devine attributes are outraged, and the scor pion whip of a wronged conscience lavs on the lash with relentless fury and in any and all ways in which you violate these laws, natural, moral, or devine swift and sure punishment follows, not in proportion to what you piau|>e was great. He fa’d that he favored the fair treatment of the railways and in this he agreed with Judge Clark; but he was assured that the railways should grant the same rate to North Carolina points as to these points beyond. He proceeded to state that he could help Mr. Kitchin. There is a way to bring railways to terms, but Mr. Kitchin had not tried to find a way. He illustrated with the Southarn Railway, and said that the State of North Carolina had leased to this railroad the line from Charlotte to Greensboro. This lease contains certain provisions and he did not believe that Mr. Kitchin had even read the lease, for, in f-ict, Mr. Kitchin had been so busy for the past four years making speeches and running for the Senate that he had not had time to attend to the business of the State. COULD DO SOMETHING. If Mr. Kitchin would read the lease, and then brmg action against the Southern Railway for the cancellation of the lease something would happen. The railway company would find itself unable to borrow money with the suit pending and immediately they would sue for peace. But Mr. Kitchin had naver been known during his entire 16 years to do anything against the rail roads. “Mr. Kitchin announces himself as the only true-blje, all-wool, yard-wide. AT NOT SORRY The Protracted Meeting The protracted meeting conducted at the Methodist Episcopal church for the past weeK closed Sunday night. Rev. Mr. Sikes who conducted the meeting he is with you always, preached some very able and interest ing sermon.s, and we feel sure much good was accomplished through the meeting. Ur. N. Rosenstein occuiist from Durham will be at the White House Thursday Oct. 17. Col. Roosevelt Shot. Sickning Spectacles Mr. Tnomas B. Davidson, the clever traveling representative of the Inter- mtional Harvester Engine Co. was at Reidsville last week during the per formance of Sun Bros. Circus, and tells us he saw a sight that sickened the hearts of a number of those who had civic pride serficient to appreciate the shameful performance. He said in the parade the Elephants, Zebras and Jackasses were adorned with cloth banners upon which was painted or ur printed the sign “vote for Kitchin, He said the idea of using the animals of a circus to advertise the political aspirations of the Governor of North Carolina to one of the highest offices in the gift of the State was one of the most disgus ting and nauseating spectacles it had been his misfortune to witness in a long time. Nor did the tiling end here, the clown took it up and championcd Mr. Kitchin cause under canvass. Orange Grove Items Mrs. L. M. Cates is spending ft,few days in Burlington with relatives. Mr. Jasper is very sick with pelegra at the home of Mr. Jesse Dodson two miles east of the Grove.

Roberson continues very sick at his home at Mr. J. W. Cheeks, Jr., we hope to see him out again soon. Mr. Charlie Carroll, recently of the Biimingham B. B.

Gathering com and sowing wheat and oats keep the farmers busy now, but the rain that began Sunday night and is still falling Monday will cause him to call a halt, this is the first rain of any conse']uence in many months. Mr. Marsliall Cates spent Saturday night with Mr. Broady Thompson, Tearing Up Party ture. Furni- Judge Clark, of The Statesville Landmark, who ^ was attracted to Charlotte, Monday afternoon, by Peter Pan, and was attracted to The Ob server office by the fraternal and social magnet, advanced the supposition that The Observer was glad the State campaign wojld be soon over. To this we replied frankly that it was not. Before the beginning of the campaign when Governor Kitchin outlined his plan of warfare, we knew the cam paign would be one out of which no good could grow to the Democratic party and we have not been mistaken. The Simmons people, in seif-defense, have had to parry thrusts. They haye contented themselves with that. The situation has permitted of no attempt at the preservation of party harmony but the retrospecc that is to be written will show that the disturbance within tha party was forced by Governor i Kitchin and his friends. As the election has drawn nearer, they have become only the more recklessly disr«^arftl of the interests of the Demoracy of the State. Governor Kitchin will not only be badly defeated in his covetous de signs upon Senator Simmons’ seat, but he is going to strew the State with party wreckage which the managers in the next campaign will have a sad time in assembling and putting into shape again. We want to see to what lengths they will go in this battering up of the household furniture of the State Demoracy. It is an interesting process and we shall not be glad when the arrival of November 5 will call time on it. —Charlotte Observer. times a thousand lold in excess. It is the sowing, and the reaping, and according to every known law the reaping is always in excesj of the sowing, sow unto the flesh and of the flesh you shall reap corruption, sow unto the spirit, and of the spirit you shall reap life everlasting. Be not deceived God is not mocked. There are so many ways in which you may sow. You will find in some communi- t'es, in fact in all, men and women, sowing evil words about each other, slandering, and libelling each others character, many an innocent girl has been driven to the mad house, or a premature grave by these mouthing harpies, these assassins of character, whose chief concern in life is tu stab ones reputation. Ah! the misreable wanton, reckless wreckers, some of these night owls of spite, some of these characters destroying things are staring me in the face. He said the reaping was always in excess. A little girl once heard her parents criticising ar.d old minister for a lengthy sermon he had delivered it sowed in her heart the seed of dislike for the minister. Suppose the little girl was on her death have done but an hundred, and some- eat-’em- alive opposer of the Southern Railway: he said so four years ago; but all that he has done has been to make speeches and run for another office. Great corporations can do great harm. They can crush competition, lower the prices of the raw material and raise the eost of the finished; and hence they are to be properly controled.” Mr. Lockhart illustrated with the American Tobacco Company, and for a little while he handled that corporation without gloves. Then he referred to the position of Governor Kitchin “Kitchin is the great selfannounced trust-buster, who has never even attempted to bust a trust. If chosen as United States Senator, he will bust just as many trusts as he has busted during the past four years.” “Mr. Lockhart sa’d, the first suspicion of Mr. Kicchin came to me when the convention was in Charlotte four years ago, and then it was that Mi. Reuben D A Brief Summary of His Great Speech at Durham as Taken From The Durham Sun. While the Sun in the main gives the gist ot this great speech, but it does not attempt to giye it verbatem, and only in this way could its depth and strength be appreciated. After thanking Mr. Umstead for his kindly words of intrcd iction and the Trinity boys for their cheer, Mr. Sim mons be^an his speech in earnest. He said he didn’t know how to make a speech without upholding the demo cratic party and the democratic ca: - didates. “I do not claim that doring my twelve years in the senate that I have not made some mistakes, but on my record, taken as a whole, either during my twelve years in the senate or before that time, and this is the only way It should be taken, I stand and confidently appeal to the democrats of North Carolina for re-election. I do not come here tnis evening to make defense or an apology for my record, for it defends itself. I do come to protect that record against the wilful misrepresentation. ’ ’ “Three-iourths of the members of 'the state executive committee are my friends.” Referring to the much talked of test that this committee has fixed for participation in the senatorial primary. Mr. Simmons said that he asked his friends to fix a test that would be best for the democratic party, without regard to his personal interest or benefits in the matter. “They fixed that test and if it cuts me out of a few thousand votes I shall have a few thousand votes to spare.” NO PARTY FIGHTER. When the senator expressed his in« tention of making no fight against any member of the democratic party holding high official position, the sentiment was highly applauded by the audience. “I can fight lepublicans as hard, and i scratch them us deeply as any man Keid of Rockingham County came | assail the party'of the to me m the Selwyn Hotel and said bed and her parents had called in this good man in this last sad hour, the chilJ. would possibly turn away from him, how trulv sad the picture, and yet how distressingly true, Mr, Sykes preached to a full church'and those who listened to him enjoyed his sermon.

The Truth in a Nutshell. The British Board of Trade and Navigation clos^ its latest annual re> port with a statement in which there is wholesome food for thought for the people of these United States. The declaration reads in this wise: Free Trade, in short, has made us not merely the carriers of the woild, but the shipbuilders of the world. The truth of this statetuent is fully borne out by the facts in the case. When Great Britain, about the middle of the last century, threw tariff pro tection overboard and entered upon the policy of virtual free trade, British merchant tonnage was second in vol ume to that of the United States. To day the British merchant marine is larger than that of all the rest of the world combined.—Va, IMloL Blease Refuses to Send Out S. C.

His closest friends were the close friends of that big corporation. They were apparently backing him. Still, 1 believed in Kitchin. Then as the deadlock continued, Mr. Reid came to me again and begged me to with draw my influence from Mr. Kitchin, but still I believed in him, and I still thought he was all right until I, as the Senator from Anson County introduced the bill known as the Lockhart anti trust bill. I was not its author. It was drawn by Reub 2n D. Reid of Rockingham County, I was told by William Walton Kitchin that the people of North Carolina did not want any anti-trust legislation, and that the people of Rockingham County had defeated Reuben D. Reid bacause of his interest in that legislation. “Mr. Kitchin said to me eo slow; ^ the people don’t want anything done. } I went out from his office disgusted and undone, and my confidence in W. W.

When any man hears of me attacking the democratic executive committee or the convention, I will give them the permission to kick me from the stump on which I make that charge. “MY DEMOCRACY ASSAILED’* ^*Mv democracy has been assailed” said the senator, referring to the Kitchin charges, “for votes I cast four years ago. The man who is novr as sailing my democracy is the same man who assailed the democracy of Locke Craig four years ago. His democracy was assailed and you wexe told that he was a tool of the railroads and the interests. There is a remarkable coincidence in this, in that Lock Craig was in this man’s way four years ago, just like this year you people of North Carolina are going to put him out of my way.” He took up in detail the three different times which congress had handled the tariff question while he was in the senate. “The first of these was in 1909, when the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was passed. This was a republican measure framed along high protection lines, and involved three thousand items. I voted in the committee of the whold against every one of these items except thirteen, and for these I yoted just as all the other senators of the south voted. The senator here expressed his views as to protection. He said that he voted for a duty on these thirteen articles because they were southern products, and that he was unwilling to see the products of the north come in for protection, and all the manufactured products of the south put on the free list. On the article for which ho voted for a duty, there was an average reduction of the tariff of 35 per cent. “Included in this list were lumber and iron wre. I voted to reduce the duties on these articles, but when the senators of the north wanted to put them on the free list we of the south declined to agree, since the north refused to have any reducti(H) on jtheir products. Asleep at the Switch Why is it that practically all the of ficials of the tobacco trust and the railroads are for Kitchin? Four years ago he said these people were his bit« ter enemies and that he was going to destroy them? Did he go to sleep at the switch? Did he ever try to do anything to disturb their slumbers?— Lexington Dispatch.
