Raleigh, N. C.. ; Sept. 14 The Dem ocratic campaign managers . have brought Ex-Governor W. W. Kitchin into the campaign and-he ; will make his. first speech in Orangecounty Sat urday. ' . ' .. " Governor Kitchin will speak in the country several , miles -from the town of Hillsboro and a barbecue is design ed to -draw : the crowd. How much time Governor Kitchin may be allow ed to give the campaign is not known but Chairman Warren hopes, to have him on the stump- often . - Governor Glenn will also fill sever al appointment, and when Governor Craig gets back to Raleigh it is ex pected that -he will go to many places. The ex-governors, one incumbent and a future governor in the campaign would constitute a four-horse team that Mr. Warren thinks could pull the Democracy from any sort of hole. The grand jury found a true 'bill against E. S. Thomas, young man in jail under a five thousand dollar bond for alleged attempt to commit criminal assault upon Miss Eula Nunn, and sent the case for hearing at once. Young Thomas, who is said to be an employee of the Charlotte Ob server's advertising department, is being backed by several, prominent men in the State who say . that .his character has been good - barring his tendency to liquor. His defense will be that he was dead drunk. The young woman is here ready to tesify. Judge Bond is trying the case which is much the most important one on the sock et. . " Former Editor Tom Owen, who has quit the newspaper game for high fianance, has returned to Clinton af ter spending a few -days here. Mr. Owen missed his BosweJl while here but . to other sources be trayed the fact that he isn't the least bit sore on the action of Sampson , county's Republicanism that' a few days ago repudiated his persecuters and turned out some of the present county officials. The former editor has recovered from the flattening out that the Butler machine gave him re cently and is just as plump and pleas ing as he was last year when the Dem ocratic legislature flatly refused to ab breviate his perquisites . as county treasurer.

"Take him own the street and lose him! And mind ye dhurry, back t to supper," his mother admonished, "for I've got to wash and iron Sarah Jane's check dress to-ntght." Outside in. the alley-way K Jimsie sat down to think, ' flinging a protecting arm about his despised charge. t. . As he patted and stroked the wast ed body, his mother's words recurred to him. x ' nt's Spare Ribs Til call ye!" he said; turning the dog's face up to his own; For at no time during the Widow Perkins' harangue had there been any intention on Jimsie's part of aban doning this homeless and friendless little waif. The vicissitudes encoun tered by the oldest of the Perkins progeny had made him something of a philosopher. Of course he must not worry his overtaxed mother about the, keep of Spare Ribs. Nor could he at that moment devise means of caring for. him. ,.. Suddenly his eye caught the -rickety and deserted hen house with, an opening on the alley. With Spare Ribs trotting at his heels, he opened the creaky; old dodr It was musty and .. dark inside, but to-morrow he would clean it out. With-, cheerful alacrity J i m s i e gathered enough grass, n-from the pat- chy jlaees outside, to make a bed. Then he picked Spare Ribs up in-his arms and tenderly laid him down In It. With the stealth of a mother leav ing r her baby's -crib, . he stole away, tying 4he . door securely. When ne had: turned the . corner, he could still hear the dog whimpering.

So proud was he of the dog's intelligence that he longed to take him home and show him off to his mother and the chil dren. But as-yet he had not summon ed courage to - disclose his where abouts to the family. With almost uncanny cleverness j the dog kept: to his stable when Jimsie started off In the direction of home. -; Then it .happened that Jimsie's time spent in the Grogan barn while he taught Spare Ribs tricks, gradually extended until his mother became anxious. "What makes ye so - late, Jimsie? It's at no good boys of your age can be, out on the sterets. Remember your father -and what he brought us to!" And notwithstanding this seem ing disloyalty to her husband's mem ory, the Widow Perkins brushed away a tear with the corner of her apron. Mary Ann Perkins soon found that she had a more immediate worry to face - than the fear that one of her offspring might inherit the curse that brought her "big man" - to his end. Bedelia Sue, her youngest, was taken down .with scarlet fever. . No chance could be taken with Jimsie -now their only wage. 'earner.
