C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 19. 1912 BAID heads NOT i WANTED Baldness is too Generally Considered a Sign of Advanced Age A bald-headed person does not ; j have an equal chauce with one' blessed with a healthy head of hair, because baldness is too generallyj accepted as an indication of age. Many large corporations have es-1 tablished an age limit, and refuse; to take men over 35 years of age as| new employees. Probably 65 per cent of bald-; headed people may regain a good head of health bair if thev will fol low our advice and accept ouroffT. We have a remedy that we positive ly guarantee to grow bair 011 any head, unless the roots of the hair are entirely deadj their folhcies closed, and the scalp has become glazed and shiny. We want peo ples to try this remedy at onr risk, with the distinct budei standing that unless ii does exactly what we 'claim it will, and gives satisfaction 'in every respect, we shall make no charge for the remedy used during the trial. We know exactly what we are talking about, and with this offer back of our statements no one should scoff, doubt out word, or hesitate to put our remedy tS an aetua! test. t x We want every one in Williams ton who is suffering from any scalp or hair tiouble, dandruff, falling hair, or baldness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We want them to use it regularly—say until three bottle*have tam used and it it does not eradicate dandruff, cK .nise and refiesb tbe scalp, tighten the hair in its roots, and grow new hair, we will returd every cent paid us for the remedy for the mere ask itig There is no formality expect ed, and we exact 110 obligation from the user whatever. We are established right here in Williamston, and make this offer with a fuU understanding that our business success entirely depends upon the sort of treatment we ac cord our customers, and we would unless we were positively certain, that we could substantiate it in every particular.

Guar antee by Saunders it Fowden. - ; Governor Kitchin; the Man, and the Principles that Guide iiim (Tbe Carolina Democrat has asked the personal frienns ot a number of big North Carolina Democrats to wiite their estimates of some of the public men now prominent in the leader-hip of the party.) On June 16, 1881, in the Fartnei® , and Mechanic, published in Raleigh bv the late lamented Randolph \. [ Shot well, the subject of this sketch, when a student at Wake Forest College, was referred to a | "a young man who bids fair to hold [a prominent position in his native State" 1 was at college with this vonng man and present at the exercises •vhicli prompted these prophetic words. Theyjiave been fu'filkd He has been beard from, first as teacher, then editor, lawyer, COll gressman and Governor of his native Sti.te, successively; and yet he is only forty-five \ ears of aue, in the prime and vigor ot mental, moral', and physical manhood, with the promise of many more years of usefulness to the people wl o so early recognized his ability and leadership. Why has he moved so fir and rapidlvalong the pinions pa'hway of success? What chart and com pass have guided him thiough th tempestuous political seas which have swept ovir North Carolina in the last twenty years? The follow ing will in a measure, ausves these questions: YOUTH AND KARLY MANHOOD William Walton Kilohin uas Tiorfi at Scotland Neck in Halifax County, October y, 1866, the sec ond of H family of uine pons and two daughters. His father wis W'n II Kit.hit*—Cajt. "Buck" Kitchin—a gallant Confedeiate soldier, a m.niber of Congress and a forceful figure in the political life of the State His mother, before her mariiage was Maii i Arlington, noted for her beauty and accom plishments. lie was prepared for college at Vine llill Acadeniv, :;t which he afterwards taught; giad uated at Wake Forest i-i studied law under the late Judge John Manning aj the State Univer sity; was admitteu to tht bar in 1887. At eighteen he became editor of the Scotland Neck Democrat, and its circulation increased three bun dred per cent iu twelve months. I lis editorials showed 1 firmness of conviction, a soundness of judg ment and a grasp of the I)' tnocratic faith far beyond his years At twenty oue he located at Roxboro in Person County to prac tice law. The people among whom he cast his lot wtre of tbe best type, industrious, tbriuy, kind, cultured It was here thn". he met and married Miss Musette Satter field, who ha,s since made 1 reputa tion as one of the most charming and popular hostesses the Govtr nor's Manson ever had. Success came slowly, as it does to most young men at the bar, but to him it came surely. People were attracted by hts earnestness, industry, determination and capac ilj. ll.j v.erc ■ f. wcik thorough. Afier tour years I be was enjoyoig a lucrative prac tice. He grt.v steadily ; ti bis pro fession and in the esteem of the people, who began to mark him for leadership. He always took a keen interest .11 politics. At twenty four be became chairtuitu ot his party in Person County, .mi, under bis lenuKlsiiip, to; the lir. ? t ' i;u»e ni teu years, it svent Democratic. In | 1892 he was nominated for the I State Senate from the di-trirt cunu- I pose J of Granville a ntT J»»rvnn, was qefeared by a tusion of Popu lists atid Reptiblicanr.. x CONGRKS9IONAL CAISKKR In 1896 he was nominated for BY CAREY J HUNTER Congress in the Fifth District against Hon Thos. Settle, the most brilliant Republican com paigner in the State, before whom Judye A. W. Craham and the late A. H. A. Williams had successfully none down to defeat. The task of defeating Settle was difficult and especially *O, as the Republicans and Populists in their fusion had allotted that Distiict to th>- Repub licans. No man who beard thtir joint canvass will evir forget their memorable debates, Kitchin was triumphant!v elected and was the only successful Democrat on either the Congressional or State ticket. Strict? then be has known no defeat His election in the largest and most prospetous Congressional district in the State gave courage and hope to the party in its darkest hour. He kept ihy l imp of Democracy' j burritnu brightly until the dawn of the new day. For twelve years, | and until be voluntarily retired to ! become Governor, In* held this im portant position withou' Deino cratic opposition. | In every political crisis in the [ last twenty years he has been found | in the l'oref r oot fighting the battles of Democracy. He to >k a leading |part in ibe White A mend mint campaigns, i lieforr? tbe suffrage amendment was I ratified by the people it was attack ed in Countess and lie defended' it in a speech of such wisdom and power that it not only .profoundly impressed Congress, but was circu lated tbiouglit the State as a cam paign document to the extent ol 85,000 copies and had great weight 111 shaping public opinion for that important measure. In Congress he took an acfive part in the debates and became first Democratic member of the Committee on Naval Affairs, one of the most important committees. He served 011 the Congressional Campaign Committee of his party for ten years. He made notable speeches on the Monty (Question, the Philippines, the Trusts, tbe Pearson Crewford contast, the Southern Railway Subsidy, Reci procity and many other important questions. In .the Congressional debate his political views were fully and fearlessly expressed, and his record is one of consistent devotion 10 the principles of progressive Demociacy—which is but a new nau.s. lor true Democracy. Long before the election of Senators by uuect voie of the people became popular, he was voting for it 'in Congress. For y'ears he has favor ed primary ' lections for the noniir 1- tion of candidates and the publicity of campaign contributions. Among the things he has fayored are tne income tax, reciprocity, the ten hour law foi factoiies and mills, the licensing of foreign coropora f* O /• • - «n *V. Q« - 4 *vith revocation for violation cf our laws, tbe placing light aud power companif s under the Cor joration Commission as railroads arc now under it, requiring rail roads to draw mileage on the trains «s furmeily, uu«rauty of bank de posits, g .od road-, drainage, etc. He has been a leader of political 1 , t. f. 1 * v.«OU£U M idll.liUl t liJ^ platform pledges and traditions of bis parfy. THT? l'.E IttCIT'IKS THAT rIUJUV UIM TT' ha- '' ' "■ ci ' " vi'ege, whethm in the form of sub sidy oi a protective tariff, whether it was favoritism for his own section or that of another. He opposed a si.oo a Year in Advance [ship subsidy, and in ihe same spirit he opposed a fast mail subsidy for the Southern Railway, which had 360 miles of its road in his Congres sional District. His position is clearly shown v »y, this little .extract from his speech in Congress on April 6. 1906 against this subsidy: "Pi r myself, I fail to sec how any appropriation, otherwise wrong, cau be made rijjht because of its 'coming onr way' (Applause.) If it is.riyht, to support it bv snch an argument tends.to discredit it, as it is an appe.il to selfishness and not to judgment.'' When the public interests requir ed Federal appropriations for his District he claimed thnu with a ztra) and successllurrmsstd by none. He never hesitated to oppose any appropriation which the public in terests did not justify. Ft never sought a temporary advantage by bartering the principles of his party or the birthright of the people. He has tried to win on the righteou ness of bis cause, and uever upon iniquitous | recedeiits. He lias op posed si protective tariff on princi ple, just as bis party opposes it. He has been able to ".ee cletrly that protection never put a dollar in any man's pocket that was not taken out of some other man's pocket. He believes that the true end of Government is the establishment of justice among men, end not to aid the greedy few in pre)ing upon the unsuspecting many. During his whole public career he has consistently the op pression exercised by private in dustrial monopolies, commonly called trusts, ntii advocated the «n TWAmerff the rivil and ciiudnat statutes against them, thus incur ring their peimunent hostility. He has stood (or the strict regulation of the natural monopolies, such as railroads, and for the destruction c/f "the unnatural industrial mono polies. On May...3 i_, ryooattd Feb ruaiy 6, KJO3, he made speeches in Congress against trusts an.; to this day his attitude of hostility has never changed. In the hall ot Congress and 011 ;ne hustings, in his inaugural address as Governor, in a special message to the Legisla ture of 1909, in the last campaign, and in his message to the last Legislature lie urged the adoption of striHgent measures against trusts. ADMINISTRATION AS t.oVKKNOk The convention at Charlotte, which nominated him for Govern or, sat night and day for nearly a week and sixty-one ballots were taken before a nomination The loyaltv and determination of his friends, representing their people, surpassed anything ever witnessed 111 the political annals oi the State. The e who knew him best support ed ';:tn most loyally. Me went into office a free man, without a pledge or a promise to any one He was bound only by the pledges of the party which eler , bun and these he has re iig entity kept. He bas been the uovetiior of all-the people and thi r e has been no "power behind the thioue." A t >ntest of this kind always enp.en'Ts bitternese of long stand ing alTd-this has been no exception, He incurred the hostility of a num ber of in. a prominent in the politics of the State and they have not been anxious to herald the success of his adru ni.stration. It is probable that no Governor ever'went into office in the State with so many to watch his every action, to misconstrue his motives and to discredit his admin istration. In his campaign for nomination his enemies pictnr»d h m as a wild, radical agitator, who would plunge the State into endless turmoil and confusion. Since his actions as Governor have proven ». uO»i lu be wuoiiy false, there are those who seek to create the fake impression that since he has not fulfilled their prophesy of Continued on page 4 . r -vi--'Site
