Many hearts were sad when the news reached here last Sunday that Mr. W. \V. Kitchin was dead. While Mr. Kitchin was a State figure, ^ itnown and. loved by many through.. - out the entire borders, we all felt that he was peculiarly our own. Here it was he made his in life, locating here when -Hiut a yjuih, made this his home for many ysnrs, and we do not think we exagerate i when-we say he probably had mare real, close friends than any man who ever lived in the co-Jnty. He -war a h i * big man, broad in his views, loved his friends truly, treated his enemies with every consideration, and none * corld.know him but to either love or reject him, ?. Broken |n health just when the average man is at his best, he gave up work _a(nt retired to his old home at .Scotland Neck, though we have often hoard hint say he would rather lire in Roxbcro than anywhebe on earth. He moved to his old home because he owned valuable lands in that section and he said he thought it best to be near where he could give some attention to them. To his wife, who was a native of this tovti, and to his children, who were born here, we extend our most sincere sympathy in their great loss. MUST BE ENTIRELY FRANK In an ibterview given out by Mr. A. W. McLean, the newly elected Ksovemor, he says that there will be no use in not being entirely frank with the people, and if there is a deficit it must be faced, but he assnres us there will be no backward tep. In this interview he says: "There wilt be (no use in pot beine entire!v frank with the " 1? nays. "If we have a deficit, we have a deficit, and we will have to find the motiey to take care of it. If we have a deficit, we are not- going to add to it. Somewhere, we are I going to find the money to do the things tha North Carolina expects us to do. It will not have less roads, it will not have less efficient health jservice; it will not have a less effective educational system; ft will not give lees care to its wards. These things are going forward-1 Our educational system must bo j strengthened. The State must take I a fuller interest in the public! HgvjM ;," ; . j schools. To that end we must make K\ our cqualixirfg fund more effective, | giving aid to those who need it | most. The smaller and less prosper- i tous counties must have schools that i are the equal of those in the Vichest It will require additional revenues and probably a recasting of the ma-| chine TV for distribution. "The State must live within its i income. Economies must %c effected! i- whernve it ?? nAcoiWU vr " ' rw..iwo. .lUlil! oi ino i institute jns of the State, should be pinched in their facihies for performing their appointed nervice. You jc ' hut adot about ? putting?things rrrr a business basis." Too often it is an empty phrase. We ought to make it mean something in North Cdlrolina. I am directing no criticism, f am sensible of the service that tea been rendered by the "Morrison administration nnd its predecessors." The return* for the State have not comic in yet, and wo see it ' *- stated that we will not know just "how part of the election went unci-. lil the full returns aro received and counted, which will be on Tuesday, November 23th. All of the Demo eratric candidates, including all of the t. eontrressionnl candidates, are elected,: but as fur as the amendment* and j the raferendums are oomcerned, it' will take the official coclit to tell about them. f'oi c Terminals is de-1 feated by about fifty thousand; exemption fixation of homes is carried by good majority; world war veteran loan fund goee over with big majority; sinking fund amend- , ment is adopted, but the increase pay j of legislators is unknown, with the indication that the measure is defeated by about five thousand. And this is another reason why we should have the Australian ballot_-eo that it would not take three weeks to find out how the election went. o One of the tnings fttr. McLean i promises the pebple is that he will 1 immediately after taking charge Of the affairs of the State find out if 1 ' there is a defict in the State treasury. We sincerely hope he will set! tie this matUV definitely, but we ' hope it will pot be necessary to employ an army of high salaried dop aiuin t iuui r iiliHueipnin to do it. o ' I In another column we are publish, ing an .article concerning the new election law, the Australian ballot, if we mistake not, which was practiced in Surry -county for the first time this year. Mr. Porter Graves enyr it is all to the y :>(], rod we would like very muyh to see the State adopt it. Our election law is one cf the things we are out of step with our jpe -ty in this State on. The Port Terminals were snowed under, as almost every one expected but we are still of the opinion that this was the worst days work the voters cf North Carolina have done in many years. But we do not despair, for with the showing made wc are sure they will yet come into existence and North Carolina will throw of the shackle which we have been wearing for so long.
