CLAUDE K ITCH IN IS THE MAN. The Raleigh News and Observer of Sunday contained the following editorial, which we endorse and pub lish with pleasure. The Observer says: 'In Representative Claude Kitchin there is in Congress a man who has taken a position as a leader in the cause of the people, ard that he is one of North Carolina's representa tives in that body has been one of the means of giving to this State a commanding position in national leg islation. He is a strong man, and his career as the Representative from the Second District of North Carolina has bee one of high ser vice to the people. "He has taken a position as a lead er in the House of Representatives. and his selection as a member of the Conference Committee having to do with the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill is a recognition of his ability to deal wilh great questions of nat ional and 'internr.ticnal scope. He has done a great work in the House in dealing with the questions which coma before the body, and in his ability to take the initiative in legis lation cf supreme interest. In the Conference Ccmmittea he is again demonstrating hi3 knoweledge con cerning the tariff bill. When this came before the House he was chos en to open the tariff debate and he did this in a speech which made for him a national reputation. He spoke upon the matter in a manner which showed his knowledge and grasp of a great subject, that clear ly set forth that he was not skim ming the surface, but that he was a student who had gone to the basic principles in securing his equipment for dealing with this legislation of so rhomentous importance to the people of this country. "Representative OscarUnderwood will 1)3 a candidate for the position of United States Senator from Ala bama, and his election to that body will make vacant tha position of Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. To that position Con gressman Claude Kitchin should be selected, for he has demonstrated his fitness for that place of high trust and responsibility and his knowledge and information are of that wide r&nge s to enable him to discharge iis duties with.credit not alone to himself, but to the nation. There will be no mistake made if Claude Kitchin is named as Chair man of that Committee. The coun try will feel that it ha3 a thoroughly competent head and will applaud his selection. He will make a worthy and fitting successor to Chairman Oscar Underwood." Vd?c BttlUs Ground Comfalsslon. Raleigh, N. C, July 14, 1913. To the Governor. Sir: The Commission rs appoint ed by yoin- -lieney unckr Joint Resolution ,i( Public Laws, 1013, respectfully make the following re port of their actions and proceed ings: In relays the members of the Com mission, between June 19 and July 3, 1913, visited Gettysburg, Pennsyl vania, and the fields around the place upon which were fought the great battles 'of July 1, 2 and 3, 1863. The Commissioners had no difficulty in identifying the several points on those battlefields where North Carolina soldier3 marched and fought, and they are satisfied after a careful examination and in spection of the grounds, of official reports of those battles made by officers, Union and Confederate, and after the examination of witnesses who were participants, that North Carolina's claims that her troops bore the brunt of the first day's battle and suffered greater losses in killed and wounded in the three days' battles than did the troops of any other State; that on the late evening of July 2nd, they pierced and broke the Federal infantry lines on East Cemetery Hill and captured several pieces of artillery; and that they ad vanced as far, or farther, than any other troop3 engaged in Longstreet's Assault on the after neon of the third day's battle, are all well founded. To mark by substantial tablets the several positions of the North Carolina troops which the Commis sioners wish to emphasize, was de nied them by the Gettysburg Na tional Park Commission under their regulations concerning the location of tablets and monuments proposed to be erected on the battlefield tnd inscriptions on such tablets and monuments. This decision of the Gettysburg National Park Corr.mis sion was not made on the ground that North Carolina's claims are net accurate and true. That question was not considered. The Coruriissioriers had gon to on the bull grow to about one-half fji inch, are brown and covered at a certain stage with coating. Affected boils ture'y, and the lint rotd or is a pinkish It is said that 90,000,000 broom handles are used annually in the United States. This is one for each man, woman and child. The House has passed the new currency bill and now it goes to the Senate and will not find such smooth szdling in this branch of Congress. Gettysburg with tablets of a tempo rary character already prepared for the purposes above mentioned to be substituted afterwards by more per manent ones of stone or bronze They carried with them aiSi.- otiicr material and things necessary for the carrying out of the above men ioned resolution. There is appended the patnph'et containing the regulations under wnicn tne .National uommissioncrs acted in their refusal to allow the North Carolina Commissioners t erect the proposed tablets, and your Excellency's attention is specially directed to sections 15, 16. 17 and 13 The Commissioners, feeling tha justice to the North Carolina troops and a proper regard for the truth of history entitle them to erect tliee markers, propose to make further efforts to have them placed in prop er positions on the battlefield. With this end in view they contemplate taking up the matter with the Fed eral authorities and will prepax-e, to support this request for memorials on the ground, a full statement, ac companied by maps, official reports, affidavits and other evidence of the part taken by North Carolina troops in the battles around Gettysburg. The State's Commissioners invited Hon. Walter Clark, who has dyne more to put into permanent form historical accounts of the numbers and deeds of our" soldiers than any other citizen of the Stale, to join them at Gettysburg for purposes of consultation. They also employed Mr. C. B. Park as artificer and prac tical helper on the ground. Several members of the Commis sion attended the Commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the battles. Respectfully submitted, W. A. Montgomery, Chairman. R. D. W. Connor, Secretary. pre; of inferior grade. Wet weather favors the disease. The loss some times reaches 75 or even 90 per cent of the bolls. It is a fungous disease, and for tunately does not spread far during a season bscause the reproductive spores in the pinkish masses are sticky and depend largely on spat tering water rather than on wind for their dissemination. The dis ease is carried over winter or intro duced into new localities chiefly through internally infected seed that have developed in slightly affected bolls. No satisfactory seed treat ment is known. The fungus may remain alive on the old stalks during the winter; nnd cotton should not be planted in the same field the next year unless it has been fall or win- er plowed to bury stalks. To avoid the disease, do not plant contaminated seed. Safe seed of any variety can be secured from a moderately infected field if it is picked separately from stalks that have no diseased bells and that stand a few feet away from affected stalks. If only a small amount can be secured, plant it in a special seed plot from which a large amount of clean seed can be had the year fol- owing. Be careful to have gins well cleaned if they have been used for diseased cotton. Fortunately the disease is rather restricted as yet; but it Is increasing at a dangerous rate. It is firt brought into new localities in'seed grown elsewhere. rowers are warned not to buy any cotton seed for planting unless reliably assured that it is free from disease. Take immediate step3 to free your farm of this disease by the seed selection method. Get your neighbors to do the same. Full information about this and other important farm crop diseases is contained in Bulletin 182 of the N." C. Department of Agri culture, Raleigh, N. C.
