VOL. XIII. NO. 3
The Senatorial Contest
We priut elsewhere in this issue
of the Record, a communication
from Mr Nimocks iu behalf of
Judgr Clark fdr the U. S. Senate.
Jndge Clark has many warm friends
and almirers in Warren county.
Our people recognize his ability
and fitness and are Cognizant of his
great services to the State, and
have repeatedly voted for him for
the Supreme Court, the Chief-Jus
tic-ship of which he adorns, and
many ofhis greatest admirers be
lieve he can best serve the people
by remaining a member of the Sup
reme Court.
There are other candidates for
the Senate who are worthy of that
high position, but we believe that
the best interests of the State will
be served by sending Governor
Kitchin to the Senate We believe
that of all the candidates he will
make us the ablest and most effec
tive representatiAe In the Senate.
From his youth. Governor Kit
chin has fought the battles of
Democracy, and has kept the faith.
In his youth he edited a Detno
' cratic newspaper in our sister
. county Halifax. In his early man
hood he was the Chairman of the
Democratic Party in the county of
Person: He redeemed the Fifth
District for Democracy and for
twelve years represented it in Con
gress with signal ability. In the
great Suffrage Amendment cam
paign he maae a brilliant canvass
of a large part of the State. It fell
to his lot to defond this great mea
sure in the Congress of the United
State, and he did it with such
ability and success that the State
Executive Committee caused eighty
five thousand copies of his speech
to be circulated throughout the
State as a campaign document.
Hi? devotion to the Democratic
faith, his fidelity to the pledges of
the Party, and his courage aud
ability in fighting buonties, sub
sides and special privilege J»uve
given him a high ftand and a com
manding influence in the councils
of the partv in State and Nation.
For years he was a member of
the Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, and he has been a leader in
shaping those principles and policies
of the party which are about to bear
* the rich fruitage of a Democratic
Congress and a Democratic Presi
dent.
For nearly three years his ad
ministration as Govenor has been
so able and effective that the State
is enjoying its greatest era of pros
perity and progress in Argiculture,
in public health, in good roads and
drainage in manufacture and iD
every line of material development
and social uplift.
He is wise in council and for
midable in debate. He is a foe to
indirection and deception and a
fearless champion of equal and ex
act justice to all and special privil
ege to none. Should he be sent to
the Senate, he w&J, on account of
his long service in Congftss and
his great peestige, at once become
a National figure and occupy a
commanding position in the coun
cils of the Democratic party with
which he is in perfect harmony.
The people demand a clean, in
corruptible ,tepieseatative j n the
United State Senate: a man of
ability, a man of backbone, a man
tirhose heart beats in sympathy with
the toilers of the land, and yet who
is not an extremest, but stands for
equal rights for all and who stands

THE ENTERPRISE
Words of Appreciation
We had a letter last week from
Mr. J. B. Burroughs to which we
were then able to refer. In this let
ter he desired us to express public
ly his warm appreciation of the
efforts of both officers and citizens
in traciug the purse which be lost
on the street and which contained
SSOO. We take pleasure iu granting
the request of Mr. Burroughs, for
his thanks were so deep and earnest
and the citizens and officers entered
so heartily in the search for the
missing money. He feels that if the
people had been indifferent to his
loss that same could not have been
restored to him, and that the in
terest in the search was but anoth
er evidence of tha kind hearts of
the people in the town, who are
ever ready to assist where their
help is needed. In the same letter
Mr. Burroughs showed his appre
ciation for his county paper by en
closing one dollar for a year's sub
scription for a relative in South
Carolina. We appreciate his inter
est in us and in the town.
"The Firing Line"
Whit will, no doubt piove to be
an interesting item of uews to
theatre-goers apd book-lovers, is
the announcement that a drama
tization of "The Firing Line,"
Robert W. Chambers celebrated

There is no more celebrated writer
of fiction in the country today than
Mr. Chambers. "The Firing Line"
' The Fighting Chance," "The
Common Law," "The Younger
Set," and "The Danger Mark"
have been read by more people in
English speaking countries than
have any other novels of their kind
in modern times. In addition to
their publication in book from,
these novels were read by millions
in the pages of The Saturday Even
ing Post.
Many playwrights have submit
ted to Mr. Chambers' dramatized
versions of his books, but Mr.
Richard Walton Tully, noted as the
co author with David B>;lasco of
' The Rose of The Raucho" who is
responsible for the dramatization of
"The Firing Line," is awarded the
distinction of being the first to meet
the requirements and reach the
standard demanded by the author.
To all are who familiar with the

who will represent the people,
rather than what is known as the
Interests and above all a man who
realizes that be is the servant of
the people, who elected him upon a
Democratic platform to carry
Democratic principles.
We believe Governor Kitchen
measures up to the high standard
set by the people, and like the im
mortal Vance, kis heartbeats will
be in unison with the throbing
heart of the great commonpeople,
and his offical acts, if elected Sen

A Good Woman Gone
"Death loves a shining mark,"
Sister Cottie Edmondson, wife of
Mr. Ebenezer Edmondson, of
Hamilton, after several weeks of
patient suffering, and bravely fight- j
ing agaiust the inevitable, gave up
the struggle Wedneaday morning,
October 25th, 1911. # She did not
die but fell sleep in Jesus. She
leaves a husband and six children,
with a host of relatives and friends
to mourn their loss.
She lived a beautiful christian
life and died a triumphant christiari
death. The funeral took place at
Baptist Church of which she was a
faithful and devoted member, the
service ' being conducted by her
pastor Rev. N. H. Shepherd, of
Stantonsburg. The lemains were
interred in the Hamilton Cemetery,
while the frieuds tried with husky
voices and tear-bedimmed eyes, to
sing "Abide with Me," and "My
Faith Looks up to Thee." The
large number of friends in attend
ance attested the love and esteem
in which she was beld^
"What God doeth is done well."
It was His good pleasure to take
her at this time. And what we
call death is only God calling our
friends to the skies to enjoy the]
"rest which remaineth to the peo
ple of God "
"There is no death^
The stars go down to rise on a
fairer shore,
And there in Heaven's jewelled
crown x
They shine forevermore."
So let's not think of her as dead
but just across the river, under the
shade of the trees, beckoning us to
come. And by the grace of God
we will go, won't we?
Her Pastor, Whom she loved.
