CORRESPONDENCE
We wish correspondents in all the
earby post offices. Write at
nd
by contract with Senator Loriirer to
vote for him by reason of any asso:i-
ation or business transaction, or that
he has had any business transaction
wiih him, as absolutely and unquali
fiedly false. And we deny that ex-
ScnatoriLorimer has ever been enter
tained as his truest by Senator Sim-
moni at hia home in Ne*v Bern or else
where.
And yet Governor Kitchin has
never withdrawn this charge or
appologrized for tne wrong he did
Senator Simmons.

DRAWING THE FIRE OF
PARSON.
We have drawn the fire of
the Parson and he comes back
at us with a vengeance, and vin
dictiveness that would gladden
the heart of a Jack Johnson.
Listen to this effusive preach
er of piety, this unctions ap
ostle of the Devinity, as he
shouts, his rabid ribald refrain,
his pitiless rancor.
“A SCURRILIOUS ATTACK”
“A most scurrilous attack was made
upon Governor Kitchin on the editor
ial page of the Mebane Leader of last
week. The writer of this abusive ar
ticle shows a hate as venemous as the
serpent and a lack of respect for the
Governor of our Commonwealth that
would degrade a nihilist. We have
not read a more abusive article in any
paper. Just what benefit can come
from this we do not see. We sell space
to Kitchin, Simmons and Clark but do
not sell editorial space. We have been
ror Governor Kitchin for the Senate
buc we have never yet forgot the pro
prieties of the case so far as to abuse
either Judge Clark and Senator Sim
mons because they want to go there
too.”-—Burlington News.
The Editor of the Burlin^on
News undertakes to create a
court of equity, himself as
iudge and jury, to try and is
sue that he raises with the Meb
ane Leader. For sooth the Par
son seems to think his license
covers the entire field of journ
alistic assininity, and in his
weakness, and his wanton sych-
ophantic flunkeyism bends the
suppliant knee for a ^ Kitchin
compliment.
The statement we copy above
from the News under the head
ing a “Scurrilous attack’^ is sim
ply a deliberate, malicious libel,
a fact easily ascertained by the
readers of the article. We dare
the Editor of the News to publish
in his paper the article from the
Leader that has drawn his rabid
criticism, the one under date of
October 17th, in the Leader,
headed an “Infamous slan
der,” and then publish in con-
nect^ion there with the one
which adjoins the said aj’ticle,
the one which called fourth our
criticism, under the heading
“Who i.-'guilty” signed by F. R.
McNinch, VV. VV. Kitchins mana
ger. You did not have the
moral courage to do this before,
will you be too much of a coward
to accept of our challenge now?
then we will learn whether
public sentiment will agree with
you in libeling the Editor
of tiie T.eader by trying to put
iiim on the level with a nihilist
You may be a preacher but your
mouth is not a prayer book.
Why did you net at first publish
what we said and then criticise
it? Because you did not care to
do what was fair and right, you
wanted to mislead.
In answer to your vile insim-
uation, and for the information
of any who may be simelarly
interested, we would say that
we have never been paid one
penny by Mr. Simmons, or any
one interested in him for the
service we may have rendered
him in the Leader in his fight
for the nomination of United
States Senator, this is a state
ment we will make under oath
to any party who has the de
cency to ask it-
MUST MOVE INTO THE OPEN
A press report emanatinsf from Car
thage attributed to [Governor Kitchin
the statement that while he was not
making an attack upon the personal
character of Senator Simmons, he did
not wish his audience to infer that he
could not do so.
That is a grave charge, a very grave
charge, which the Governor has here
made against nis chief oppDnent, by
implication. The Charlotte Chronicle
is warranted in saying that the state
ment of Governor Kitchin, said to have
been made at Carthage, is certainly
to he regretted by those who have be
lieved in the manhood and honesty of
Mr. Kitchin.—Greensboro News,
This is a great man to send
to the Senate.
Four years ago, evil reports were
set in motion with respect to Mr.
Craig, that gentlemen felt impelled to
protest against the activity of his de
tractors in words that must have sear

Kitchins or any of their aupporters to
produce any proof of these slanders

the unusal conflagration that
would result in it disrintengra-

President Taft feels that he is
goiivg to be elected to succeed
himself. We hope he will get
a’lof the pleasure out of that
feeling posible, for that is all
there will be in it. After elec

did not get elected.
Hon. Lock Craig, and H(m.
Thomas Settle candidates res
pectively for Governor for the
Democratic and Republican
parties nomination, may pull off
a joint debate at some point in
the West before election day. It
now seems .probable.

The Holly.
(By Susie Cleveland Kobertson.)
The leaves are dead, the woods are
bare.
Chill Winter rules o’er e-arth and
sky;
On lofty pine and lowly hedge
The glist’ning snowflakes thickly lie.
The lonely fir and stately oak
Are wrapped in icy winding-sheet,
And cold and grim the meadows bare
Shrink from the storm of blinding
sleet
Yet Autnmn’s blaze of richest dayes
Left trace of color as it fled;
The green moss peeps through crystal
frets.
The Holly glows with berries red.
Oh, lovely Holly! Fadeless green.
With scarlet fruit on glossy tree,
Fit emblem of life’s miracle
Which blooms through all eternity.

Avoid Rheumatism
Rheumatism with its accompanying pains and tortures, is the result of
a decreased action of the kidneys which results in an accumulation of

Those almost insignificant pains in the small of the back
mean trouble it’s a warning of kidney weakness—inability
to separate the polHons from the blood.
