Kitcbin Doesn't Want Democrats to As sist Taft. TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT WILSON Representative Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, who will be one of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee in the next House, gets ruffled every time he even thinks of legislators in his party Negro Hills Deputy Stierifi and Wounds Chief of Police. POSSES ARE SCOURING TEE CGUKTRY. The legislature is afraid to a dog tax law for the State. tackle Are we going to do anything for the improvement of our public roads? The Greensboro Daily News, un der the management of Hildebarnd and Philips, is not much in love vith Marion Butler. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is the only living ex-President. He is ever before the public eye and is a live wire all the time. The Nevada legislature has re pealed the law authorizing accept ance of North Carolina carpet bag bonds. Marion Butler will have to hunt for another State on which to unload his bonds. Rev. J. H. Hall, pastor of the Methodist church at Kinston, has been appointed Presiding Elder ol the Raleigh District, to fill the vacan cy caused by the death of the Rev. W. L. Cunningham. We see it stated that the political friends of Chief Justice Walter Clark are quietly letting it be known on the side that he will probably be a candidate for the United States Senator next year.

The first issue i3 bright and newsy and we wish the' new venture much success. The Stubbs bill providing for h Constitutional Convention for North Carolina was killed in the House Wednesday night by a vote of 22 tc 69. We believe the legislature act ed wisely in this decision. There is no need for such a convention and the people should be allowed to rest in peace and quiet. The friends of Mr. T. R. Manning, editor of the Henderson Gold Leaf, will be delighted to know that he is again at home and is very much im proved in health. Mr. Manning was compelled to give up his work tbout four weeks ago and went to the hospital in Richmond for treat j aent. We hope he may soon resume ins work as editor of the Gold Leaf. Listen at brother James A. Rbo inson, of the Durham Sun how he sings: "Rain-drops, kiss the lily and trembling linger upon its alabastor lips, until the sunbeams chase the sparkling jewels into the lily's heart t ) refresh and invigorate. So with the tears of affliction upon the cheeks of grief. Hope brushes them away and drops a sweet balm in the cup ox sorrow," House. His speech on the tariff during the extra session in which the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was passed was given wide circulation in the campaign of last year, for it was considered one of the most convinc ing arguments against the Republi can so-called revision that were made during that memorable strug gle in Congress. Special to Balti more Evening Sun. The House Committees. Even if a man knows better than to quarrel with his relatives he doesn't know better than to let them quarrel with him. The country near-beer saloons are getting in their deadly work with rapidity. A murder in Granville and another in Cabarrus county Sat urday night is putting it in fast and thick. If the legislature needed any f arther argument to wipe them out it has two fresh appealsln the past v eek. They are making murderers as rapidly as they produce drunks. Durham Sun. We hope the legislature will put these near-beer joints out of com mission and let the law go into ef fect March 1st. The rules committee in the next House will be composed of six Dem ocrats and four Republicans, revers ing the party, complexion of the committee in this House. Accord ing to the Democrat decree for the next House, the ways and means committee members cannot be mem bers of other committees. Accord ingly Oscar W. Underwood, who is to be chairman of the ways and means committee, and Lincoln Dix on, ot Indiana, will not serve on the rules committee. Only three of the present six Republican members of the rules committee were re-elected to Congress Dalzell and Lawrence, of Massachusetts, and S. C. Smith, of California. The commerce committee of the Senate has completed the river and harbor bill which will be taken up in due season and passed. Through out Congress there is a growing feeling that there should be an an nual river and harbor bill and both committees stand pledgd to this policy which has been the slogan of the national rivers and harbors con gress since its organization more than ten years ago. The rivers and harbors bill, it is believed, will be perfected in conference to guaran tee its approval by President Taft. According to a current report of the United States Geological Survey Pennsylvania produces more coal than any other country in the world except Great Britain. In factPenn sylvania's coal production exceeds the combined production of all other countries of the world outside of Great Britain, Germany and Austria- Hungary. The state produced last year 2iy,U25,y50 tons, valued at $279,501,084. The aggregate value was nearly evenly divided between anthracite and bituminous coal. Notice to Farmer's Union Members.

The officers came out and covered the exits, though badly wounded. Louis West, the most desperate of the pair, went to the back window, when officer Wynne shot at him. He then dash ed out of the front doorv when De puty Munford sent two balls in his direction. From loss of blood from wounds this brave and fearless officer sank to the ground, when the brute pass ed by him and said: "Damn you, you are not dead yet, but I'll finish you," and shot him in the head two or three times. Chief Glover was shot in the shoulder, and, it is thought, through the lungs. Both yere taken to the Wilson Sanatorium. It is said that the deguty died before reaching this institvL. !

Several negroes, one said to be from South Carolina, have been committing depredations at Dunn They broke into a hardware store at that place, and it was for that crime that they were wanted. The Wilson Military scoured the woods in every direction soon , after the tragedy, but could find no trace of either of the gang. Six arresrs have been made, three women, who may be able to throw some light on the matter as to the identity of the gang, and three men one at Middle- sex ana two at tsaueys. A negro from Edmondson's bridge reported that a negro answering the descrip tion of West was in that neighbor- nooa wnen ne leit, ana .mat ne was badly wounded.
