Why Second tongresslonal Distric Convention Did Not Appoint A Commit tee on Platform and Resolutions- Claude Kltcbia's Acceptance. Kocky Mount, N. C, July 7 At the Democratic Congressional Con vention for the Second District here last evening, the renomination of Hon Claude Kitchin was attended with proceedings, some of which wil bear elaboration. The meeting was called to order by Mr. R. G. Allsbrook, of Tarboro. while Mr. John Woodard, of Wilson, was named as chairman and Mr John Gold, editor of the Wilson Dailey Times, was made secretary of the meeting. The first motion was that the temporary organization be made permanent, and upon a mo tion and second this was done. Prefaced by a few remarks regard ing the man the following resolu tion was unanimously nassed and the same Was ordered placed on the ninutes of the meeting. The res olution was with reference to the loss that the Democratic party of the Second District in the death of Mr. J. W. Grainger, of Lenoir. NO PLATFORM NEEDED FOR SUCH A CANDIDATE. The next matter taken up was the appointing of a committee on plat form and resolutions. Upon a mo tion by Mr. Bassett the same was dispensed with, it being shown to the thorough satisfaction of every mem ber of the meeting that the candid ate to be named was in every sense a keeper of the faith. The meeting was then thrown open for the nomination of a candidate from the Second Congressional dis trict. Mr. Albion Dunn, of Scotland Neck, made a short speech in behalf of Hon. Claude Kitchin, of Halifax, to succeed himself in the next House of National Representatives. Mr. Dunn made a short speech and one that was to the point on the subject. It was then moved that the nomina tion of Mr. Kitchin be made unan imous, and this was donp. MR. KITCHIN'S SPEECH OF ACCEP TANCE. As the candidate named was pres ent in the audience he was called upon for a speech and he responded with a fifteen-minute talk that was aptly fitting to a body that had named him as its candidate. Mr. Kitchin stated that he believed that down ia the Second district of North Carolina he had some of the best Democracy in the nation, and that this display of staunch Democracy had been the cause of his strongest aspiration during the ten years that he had represented the district. He stated that it was impossible for a Republican to represent the Second district and its people citing the Re publican protective tariff which he styled as legalized robbery. He showed his position on the tariff matter and of how he had voted conscienciously throughout and that while he had been censured for his stand on the lumber question, which he voted to put on the free list, he was following out the Jeffersoian policy, and after his explanation and the facts that he cited there was not. a man in the audience that did not agree with him. He showed some of the facts i hat tend to point to a Democratic victory throughout the nation and of how the recent Re publican Congress had adjourned with more discord and bad feeling than ever before, ''Democrats were never before more united and they voted solid on practically all measures." On a tariff platform he cited num erous instances where a Democratic candidate had defeatedjhis opponent even within the territories that have heretofore been considered Republi can strongholds. He showed that the Payne-Aldrich act was hurting the party now in power and of how he expected the Democratic party to come in to its own. The naming of the executive com mittee for the convention was then gone into and as the various delega tions were called they named one person from their ranks to be a mem ber of this committee.

Has Been Fully Demonstrated The Age of Miracles. Attend to Your Own Business. The man who gets it into his head just right that he should attend to his own business and not worry so much about the other fellow, will live equally as long: die fully as happy, and possibly have a little better time going through the so-called vale of tears. There are people who have nothing else to do but criticise the clothes worn by their neighbor; people who gossips about other folks and forget that their own back yard is full of tin cans and dead cats; people who want to reform the whole universe of worlds and who need reforming, first themselves. The world is all right some of the paths are a little rough; some of th? hills a little steep but if you'attend to your own business and let the oth er fellow attend to his unless you are invited in either as a friend or on salary, there will not be so many dis cordant notes in your life. Some people like to go fishing some like to play ball and if they want to indulage in these sports or any other sports, do not constitute yourself a committee of one to offer objection. So long as a man leaves you alone leave him alone. This is advice, but it is worth thinking about. Fairbrother's Everything. A man would not think of going to a hotel and not paying for the service he received, he would not go into a store and buy goods and not make arrangements for the payment, but they will come to a newspaper office with an article a mile long and expect you to publish it as "news" when it is nothing but an advertise ment for some particular man. But we are glad to say newspapers are beginning to realize that they are business institutions, and cannot be run on hot air. New Bern Sun. From the earliest ages of the idea of flight has taken hold of the imag- . it i a . ination oi man. ir.s seeming im possibility baffled ingenuity and dar ing for thousands of years. First the land was conquered, then the sea brought under dominion. But the air defied man for so many centuries that its navagation was regarded as a wild dream, like a trip to mars or signaling the sun. Not many years igo a few ardent minds turned their attention to the subject. At least, in 1903, two young Americans, after long experiment, devised a machine heavier than air that would actually fly. The old "dirigibles," the Zeppelins, Baldwins and Beachys, were merely floating ballons, and the improvement was in securiug control of their movements. But the aeroplane was the first real "fly ing machine." In a year or two there has been more progress in the art of flight than in a dozen cen turies before. Even a year after the feats of the Wright brothers many doubted the practicability of the aeroplane and regarded it as a mere toy. Today its efficiency is well established. The flight of Chas. K. Hamilton from New York to Philadelphia and re turn, made with the speed of the express train, will scarcely be re markable in a few months. The world had hardly ceased to thrill at the feat of Bleriot in flying across the English channel before Orville was carrying a passenger to b ort Meyer and rushing to Alexander at 40 miles an hour. Louis Paulham's flight from London to Manchester, England, 180 miles, was accomplish ed in 12 hours, April 23. On May 30 Glenn Curtiss flew from Albany to New York, 137 miles, in 152 min utes nearly 55 miles an hour. On June 2nd Charles Stuart Rolls doub- ed Bleriot's feat by crossing the English channel and returning with out alighting, in 60 minutes. On the same day Ifamiltion made his Now lork-to Philadelphia tour. Walter Brookins, a pupil of Wilbur Wright's, soared into the air at Indianapolis to a height of 4,384 feet not far from a mile high. Complete control over the aero plane has been demonstrated. Hamilton, Curtiss, the Wrights, Belriot and Paulham guide their machines with perfect ease. There is no longer any question that the flying machine has "arrived." There was just as much doubt a few years ago as to the practicability of the automobile as there is now of the aeroplane. Motor cars have become all too common, and in a few years flights from Washington and Balti more to New York will attract no more attention than a weekend run in an automobile. The motor car racers who thrilled the public so short a time ago are being supplant ed in popular favor by aviators, who are speeding through the air with promise of no less velocity than the speedmad chauffeurs attained on land. This is the age of miracles. Even the flying machine is only one more step in the path of progress, and in a few years that too, will be sup planted by some new wonder which will startle the world for awhile and give way in its turn to some still greater mircle of human genius. Baltimore Sun. Now be Thicks it's Wrong to Bet. Two old cronies went into a drug store in the downtown part of New York City, and addressing the prop rietor by his first name, one of them said: "Dr. Charley, we have made a bet of the ice-cream sodas. We will have them now, and when the bet is decided the looser will drop in and pay for them." As the two old fellows were de parting after enjoying their temper ance beverage, the druggist asked them what the wager was. "Well," said one of them, "our friend George bets that when the tower of the Singer Building falls, it will topple over toward the North River, and I bet that it won't. Every body's Magazine.

WHAT 10 WEAR WREN IN MOURNING How To Be Well Dressed Though Plunged In Grist. Whether we approve or not it is un deniably true that the period f mourning U being shortened and V.a evidences made less conspicuous than in the years of the past, say the au thorities for men's fashions. Only rarely nowadays do men wear em blems of grief for persons outside of their immediate family First mourning for a wife covers a year and for other relatives six months, During the first period only black and white effects are per missible. The scheme calls for deep hat band, white shirt, either plain or with black stripes, and black suit, overcoat, waistcoat, half hose, gloves and shoes. The second period of mourning lasts six months for a wife and three months for any other relative. In this time gray is correct and mourn ing band is not worn on the hat. Black and white effects as well as gray are allowable. The brassed or sleeve band is in exceedingly bad form. It originat ed in England as an expedient for servants and others who could not afford entire change of outfit. Attendance at social affairs of a ceremonious character is not expect ed during the first period of mourn ing. If circustances make it neces sary the only change from custo mary usage is in day time, black gloves and cravat, instead of grey, and in the evening cloth band, not silk on the silk hat. Black tie and waistcoat should not be substituted in the evening for the white, nor are black studs and links or black bordered handkerchiefs any longer approved. These things savored of parading sorrow and have wisely been abandoned. The prim ary purpose of black is to prevent such embarrassment as might arise from ignorance of bereavement on the part of those met. Ex. What Harm Is There In Card Playing.
