Kitchln, of the fifth district, spoka at Mint Hill, this county, Thursday, and took an other whirl at The Wilmington Mes senger, Raleigh Times, Asheville Geaette-Xews and The Observer aa papers opposing , ,M nomi nation , for Governor, resenting The Observer's reference to Ws speech in Union county on- June 13th as demagogical and "demanding" the proof of tola Inaccuracy. With pleas ur..' Ha said at Union Church that the Issues of his campaign were greater than "whether the present na tlonal: committeeman of the Domo . 1 1 ,U4u Ut.lA c,V,nll h. ura-uu pal ly iium tuui aiaiv mmn mv ; retired, "'as was published in that paper .The Observer or some other paper, as ihe purpose of the so-called conservatives." No such purpose was ever announced by this paper as of Jta own responsibility or as news ' paper clipping, and if by any corres pondent. It has no .recollection of it though If so published such publica tion would not c"bmmit The Observer. vPerhaps Jt was "some other paper, though the case was so stated as to put upon The Observer whatever" op probium might attach to It. He charged The Observer by plain Im plication with being in collusion with the Southern Railway Company and which no one who knows tt will be lieve and .which can therefore do it no -harm with this class, but which reflects seriously upon the speaker. Ha challenged The Wilmington Mes : eenger and The Raleigh Times by the same easy Implication with op posing his nomination by reawon or their sympathy with trust and nio nopollca, and both promptly di-nled ' Slaving written a line opponing his nomination. 6o far from correcting himself at Mint Hill, he repeated le KhlFMI TL'm nl.hl l..,,,. , A ......

The Observer is en!y now finding: time to fettle the dispute between Its 'Mule Pen and Its Salisbury correspondent over a matter of patriarchal matrimony. The Salisbury correspondent. It will be vividly remembered, predicted 'for & certain young couple happiness rivaling that of Isaac and Rebekah. Thereupon the Mula . Pen, eagerly seizing upon a supposed opportunity to display scriptural learning, pranc ed in with the statement that Isaac and Rebekah had been confused with Jacob and Rachel. . Not to be stingy with its knowledge It further ..told bow Jacob served Laban for Rachel- remarking that Jacob was not only put off with Leah at the end of seven years but had to serve another seven before Rachel was given him. The Salisbury correspondent, however, did not receive this alleged .informa tion with reverential acquiescence. He cited the Episcopal prayer book as authority for conferring the honor upon Isaac and Rebekah. ,lst cams a ibrlef but weighty communication from Mt Pleasant in which it was pointed out 'that Jacob', although he served fourteen years, raised such a clamor against the fraud practiced upon him that the younger daughter was withheld only a -week after he had taken the elder to wire, so much for the dispute and tho disputants. It becomes our partly unpleasant duty to declare the Salisbury corres pondent In the right and the Mule ren In the wrong. Isaao and Ke- hekah were correctly complimented as the model pair of Bible history. Rebekah can bear comparison with her daughter-in-law hut not so Ja cob with his father, at Is quite true that Jacob was an Incomparably greater man. Though no little of a cheat In his youth he became truly "Israel, a Prince,"1 worthy to be father of the twelve tribes of Israel. His meeting and toljfully winning hli cousin Rachel bears an aspect of ro mance which Isaac's parent-made match entirely lacks. Moreover, he loved Rachel tenderly all her life; and Judah's noble plea before the unknown Joseph for Benjamin "all that Is left to him IJacob of.hls r Benjamin's mother" shows that he loved her tenderly after her death. Isaac,, on the. other hand, "was not personally remarkable In any respect, Though the -son of one great man and the father of another, he waa himself a very type of respectable mediocrity. He Is recognizable as a gentle, unenergetlc person, Inclined to meditative ease and having' a slight gluttonllness as his one posi tive fault. It Is only- as a husband that he ranks high, and this evident ly came about because of qualities which he lacked rather than those whhch he possessed- 'In any event, he is entitled to fee called the modol Ihusband of scriptural Ihistory be cause he alone among the patriarchs was not a polygamlst. The Word-scene of young Jacob k Using tho fair shepherdess and then, strangely enough, lifting tip his voice Jn weeping, is familiar to most people, but the story of how a wife was found for Isaac has no place In the popular Imagination. Tet this earlier event Is Invested with abund a nee of Interest. Rcbekah's person allty does not suffer by comparison with Rachel's. We quote the final verse; "And Isaac brought her Into his moth er Hnrah's lent, and took Rehckuh, and bfram his wife; and he loved hffr: and Imac was comforted after his moth- , : . ; l . .ji f r naMy 'unpopular Red Springs C?Ui- T!.f J "i ' i i c , Carol: na i i . : a doing tlie i i things.

Owing to the contrariety of opinion a cor respondent in Thursday's Robesonian proposes to submit the matter to The Observer, which is not a . nature faker, as he knows, and tells that Mr, Emory Wllloughby, who lives in the Burnt Island section, has eeen the monster which 'he describes as mak lng a great and peculiar track and uttering noises which he likens to the "voice of a umrnern, the puffin' of a steam engine, and be tootln' of a horn." Aniother equally (responsible citizen thinks it is a gurilly, and the correspondent, who signs himself N., and whose style we know, 1 of opln Ion "that it is a candidate from the fifth district, at large and beating the bushes." We doubt that. The ma Jorlty of our mind, made up from tha description of its track, from the facts that It cries like a umrnern and has a stripe down its leg. Is that it la a banter. The Ranter used In Iredell about twenty years ago and had pups there. It Is easily bellevalble that one of these drifted down to Rob eson! but we would not like to pro nounce a final Judgment without see ing Its track. Itebekah or Rachel whom Byron had In mind when he wroto these lines for his "Hebrew Melo dies?" "Hhe wnlks In beauty, like tho nlpht Of cloudless climes and starry skip; And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day duntes.

The result of the Mississippi sena torial primaries Is no longer In doubt. While not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church door it Is enough. The majority Is disappointingly small but Williams wins and that is the Important matter. We rejoice at the outcome and so will all Democrats who are not Popullnts, Socialists or something else, notwithstanding what they call themselves.

We quote again fromi our AJhevllle contemporary, which Is edited by an Intelligent and trust- . worthy Washington correspondent: "In a reply which Mr Kitchln makes to us, because we happened to raise n auction regardjpg the value f his pub Uc, services, he only directs attention to Ms prorlivlty to start an occasional talk, fefct We have before paid tribute to Mr. XiteMn'a ability to talk, He also voles Tegular we are likewise wihipg to ud- ri'lti whn Ihe Hues are drawn on purely : I arty quostion; but we iHl.g this is don; unoer aurexs, ror Mr, Kitchln dot; not ? like John, Sharp Williams, the minority : leader.

WHAT THE liEGISLATURE DID. In this morning's Observer will be, found a clear and attractively written epitome of the 1967 Legislature's work by Mr. Thos. W. Alexander, of the Charlotte bar. It has to deal with statutes of first-class interest to men In all walks of life, especially business men. Within a column and a half a good general Idea is given of what 1,500 closely printed pages i contain. Even the men who followed I the Legislature's doings most closely will be surprised at tihe number of important enactments disclosed. We dare say that lawyers themselves the published "Acts" are Just out- win experience something of a start when they find that an attempt to commit burglary can now bo made in broad daylight, iMr. Alexander's review treats a subject of encyclo paedic proportions in a very vigorous and Interesting manner, The reader who misses it will have missed some thing well worth while. California Htone Surpasses the Sap phire In Brilliancy, Kays Scientist.' San Francisco Dispatch, 21st ult. Professor George B. Louderfcack, of the University of California, to day gave the results of his examina tion of a new gem of groat beauty recently uncovered by two prospect ors in San Benito county, California. ine gem strongly resembles sap phire, but it differed in some striking features. uMr. Louderback says: "The new gem Is a clear transDar ent blue stone with violet tints In the deeper colored portion. It rivals the sapphire In color and surpasses it in brilliancy, though It Is not so hard It Is about as hard as chrysallte and harder than opal or moonstone. It turns bright red under heat. As it Is n entirely new mineral It has been given the name 'benltolte,' from the county In which it Is found."

Mr.., William A. Barber, president of Company -was asked to-day whether his road would put the Z J- passenger rate into operation, as Is helng done by the Southern Railway and the At lantic Coast Line. He replied, "Yes, if Judge Prltchard will modify his or der of injunction which now prevent us from doing it, I so wired Governor Glenn last night.' r . "The newspapers to-day make some reference to the telegrams that passed between Governor Glenn and myself. The facts are that we did not -participate 4lo -th negotiations between-the representatives of the railroads and Governor Glenn, pursuant to which the agreement was made with the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern. Just af ter this agreement' was made Governor Glenn telegraphed to Mr. Nichols, the general manager of .our road, asking whether we would put the rate into ef fect, coupling thi inquiry with th statement that if we refused, he would pursue such course as he saw tit This telegram was forwarded to me. After taking sufficient time to ascertain some additional facts Iwirej Gover nor Glenn tm follows: ; , s - -TELEGRAM TO ,GOV. GLENN. "Ifour telegram addressed to L. T.

Our company has always tried to obey the law In North Carolina without question and meet the wishes of the State author ities. We appeal to tha courts in this Instance only because the effect of tho recent learislatlve enactments if put in force is to so reduce the earnings of the Carolina & Northwestern Railway as to leave it unable to pay the Inter est on its bonded debt. On this around, the trustee for the bond holders secured a temporary Injunc tion restraining us from putting the proposed rate into operation.

ULKmil nil., w . Ripply for a modification of the in junction and put the rate into iorce, These telerrams sDeak for themselves, Mr. Barber was asked if he desired to say anything about the facts of the Carolina & North western's case. He replied, "Well, the facts will be sub mitted In testimony at an eany oaie I may say now that whatever may be the effect of the rate legislation in North Carolina on the earnings of the larger roads, in our case it Is. plainly to reduce the earnings to such an ex tent as to leave us unable to pay the Interest on our bonded debt. It was only for this reuson that we have sought to have tho United States Court pass on the .validity of the acts in question. . "When I acquired an Interest In thj Carolina & Northwestern Railway, some seven years ago, it was a run down, half-equipped, narrow-gauge railroad, not half serving the demands of the section through which it runs. It required no small effort to develop the property to Its present condition. We placed on It an issue of bonds at the rate of $15,000 a mile and expend ed the money In changing the gauge and Improving and equipping the road. This bonded debt does hot rep resent the full value of the property. It cannot be reproduced to-day for t!5. 000 a mllo. Our bonds ere, there fore, not excessive.

We are unwilling, however, to bring about an' unseemly conflict between the Federal Court and the State au thorities, although we know that tho B'ederal Court has jurisdiction to protect our property, and therefore, to protect our property, and therefore, we have temporarily yielded our rights to await the final decision of the court. "Governor Glenn says the act of tne Legislature is law. I have always un derstood that the pronunciation of what la law rests with the courts. The broad question in this whole con troversy is whether the Governor or the courts shall construe the law and determine what is constitutional. There is no issue of State's irights in volved.; Is it not time to stop work ing State's rights overtime and glv place to property rights guaranteed by the constitution- of 'the United States?" - ' .
