The recent Democratic filato con- Telillon carried the Charlotte date line all over the country under good sized headings for nearly a week.

On the third day, arrcr - having kept vigil for. "many, maiy weary hours, waiting for that whh:h. alas: never came, he left the Auditorium a few minutes for lunch. Passing the city hall he was seen by a Kitchinlte, wno had partaken rather too freely of liquid refreshments. wsen the following colloquy took Place: Aitenintte "Hall, why don't .yoa qijlt your foolishness, do as I tll you, and come on and vote with us for KMchin?" .Major -tj. ii.

Charlotte Is a "dry" city, but the delegates were told if they didn't see what they wantei It ask for it. Now and. then, at rare Intervals, some fel low would rise from his seat, .and after bellowing out, "Mr. Chairman!" would begin to act like a eontortlon- Ist, when his friends would rush to' him and pull him down. We don't know, but suppose, he hadn't seen what he wanted. A strange things is politics. Hide, by sldf. as allies, desperately righting Craig, were some men whom we saw in Raleigh at the special session urg ing State prohibition, claiming that It was far and away above all other questions and breathing- out threaten- inss and slaugnter against all who didn't see It their way; with them were others, who would have none of Craig, because he believed this and (anvaseed for prohibition. Uncle Ashley had ti balan of power and turned it locwe. The Mor ) ally Stunted had some power, too, but we dldn t see it roaming at large at any .time. Capt. Swift Galloway jald of the body which Stormed the last Legisla ture for State prohibition lha: .': ivas composed largely of long-hnrd men and short-haired women. Ma ly beau tiful women And strong- men rrefo ;it the convention for Craig, but tlicre was no abnormality of hirsute adorn ment among ihe.n. Once or twice we believe that Chairman Parsons gladly would have exchanged places with the. umpire of a baseball game and paid some boot. While "-tls only noble to bo good," We think we can now get ome testi mony that ll.jw s4ways- pe4rtle -4aiAnnla ft. be good. If ifuck Duke and Col. Alex An drews can t do better than to get up 2 1-2 or 3 votes In the State, they had best retire from politics. Come to think of it, burg our good friend Profundus but, In Mecklen lr. Joseph us hush! Intro duction of fHenda nnd unfinished sto ries are his long suit. As a hostess Charlotte was queenly. Open-handed and hearted hospitality was everywhere In evldenco, and when It was proper or necessary to charge; there whs an entire absence of extortion, graft or greed. He w-lio thinks that Furnlfold M. Simmons Is, or ' soon will be. out of business In North Carolina will wake up tu liad -himself wdty-rr i talcermie inember that a change, of a llctle more than 40 votes irom Kltchln to Craig would have nominated Craig, and. whllo the west will bo-enthusiastically for Simmons, because. If for no other reason, of the stand he took for CralK. ho can yet divide tbe east with any man who will oppose him. It must be remembered, too. that many enthusiastic Kltchlnltes who differed with Simmons on the gubernatorial matter remain the fast friends of our senior Senator. North Carolinians nre not ungrate ful (that Is, not always), and Sim mons' services In behalf of our State, our manhood, our womanhood, have been too valuable and long continued, easily to be forirotten, or for him to be thrust aside, if tho attempt should be friarie, a battle royal will bo waxed and there will he found In every coun ty those who are ordinarily only mildly Interested In politics, but W'ho, when the onset is directed at him per sonally, will surround him mid uover lng him with thetr shields, will fight to the death, If need be. Do not accept his cundldate. if you like, us this writer did not accept his advice about statutory prohibition, hut keep your hand off him! --t Convention anger and convention gratitude are twinjets which rarely ever survive November's chilly winds, and If this Isn't well. It might Just as well be. After all, Kltchln and Craig stood for the same things, and both were supported alike by the so-called rad ical and conservative Democrats. The writer left Charlotte aorm. hours be fore a nomination was made, but while there cast hf voto for Craig, on account of a friendship begun In boy hood, and because he believed that the ,west and their candidate were en titled this Urns to the place; he Is happy, howeverl'to p able to say that Mr. Kitchin is a 'gentleman of engag ing personality, of charming manners; as a Democrat Is thoroughly ortho dox, and.Jn the opinion of your cor respondent, wiil make a model Gov ernor. v The electrictt dJenlay was superb.

Finance Committee Meets But Takes .-So Definite and Final Action tn Re gard to the Appropriations For Fis cal lcur. The meeting of the finance com mittee of the board of aldermen In conference with the .chairmen of the finance committees from the sub boards which was held last night re sulted In no final action in regard toj the appropriations for the fiscal year wmcn began June 1st. The committee has agreod, how ever, on one thing and that Is that economy will be practised more ex-i tenslvely this year than last and that tne appropriations to the several de partments will not be excess td the In come. This means that the running expenses or the municipality are to be reduced, for at the rate money has been expended heretofore, the Income would not meet all the expenses in curred In operating the affairs of the city. it is very likely that the curtail ment will extend through the entire system and that some men will be cut off from all thecity forcea JThe appropriations to the police depart ment. street and sewer department, snd health department, too, will - be less thsn they were last year. The language of one member ofi the tommittea was, "there Is tio use trying to .appropriate more than we have got." Notes From Davidson College. Special to The Observer.
