Hon. W. W. Kitchin's appoint
ments at Kernersville tomorrow, tne
16th, and at Tabernacle on Friday, the
17th, should not be overlooked by those
who wish to hear one or tne oest
speakers in the1 state Mr. Kitchin is
the ablest man in" North Carolina's
congressional delegation and his pub
lic utterances I have unusual weight.
We wish every voter in the district
could hear him in the present cam
paign. The joint canvass of the county can
didates is not creating quite as much
public interest as in former years, if
the attendance is an index. Gen.
Glenn, Mrj Roberson and Mr. Whitaker
make the principal speeches for the
Democrats, and Messrs. Ragan, Frazier
and Douglas are the orators on the
other side. Mr. Roberson's illness and
the absence of Mr. Frazier for a few
days detract from the canvass. Today
the candidates! speak at McLeansville.
A number from this city will attend.
Hon. R. B. Glennv
Bob Glenn! The name is a synonym
for sound Democracy, as it is the famil
iar name by which the ablest exponent
of Democracy , in North Carolina is
known from mountain to sea. It is a
name that prompts the average Demo
crat to begin yelling before he gets
within three blocks of the place where
the incomparable Bob is to speak. A
court house full of people turned out to
hear him last Wednesday evening, and
for two hours they listened to one of
the most comprehensive political argu
ments that ever fell from the lips of a
campaign speaker in thjs grand old
state. Mr. Glenn came not as a candi
date, but simply as a worker in behalf
of the principles he believes right. He
told the audience how he had recently
sacrificed without reserve the fondest
ambition of his life in withdrawing from
the senatorial contest in favor of his
townsman and friend, Hon. C.B. Wat
son, who claimed the prior right to ap
peal for preferment at the hands of the
party. Launching into a discussion of
national and state affairs he showed
his wonderful grasp of public questions.
Conditions as well as theories came in
for , a liberal share of consideration, his
utterances bearing the imprint of sou ud
logic and unassailable truth; His
words carried conviction, and there was
not a man present who failed to realize
that inspiration dwelt with the speaker.
It was good to be there and hear the
truthsabout our state history fearlessly
portrayed by a master tongue. It was
good to be there and feel and know
that the proud banner of Democracy
will never trail in the dust so long as
God-fearing men like Bob Glenn are
heard in the party councils. May his
years of usefulness yet be many,
Progfressiye Fair at Greensboro.
The Central Carolina Fair Associa
tion is still moving things along for a
good fair next week Oct. 21-24. Every
body that goes will come away feeling
good, and they will no doubt have a
profitable trip.
On Tuesday, Oct. 21st, Gov. Aycock
will make an educational address, and
everybody should hear the Governor
on his i&ue. On this same day thre
will be a race between the ostrich, Oli
ver W, and a race horse. This will be
very exciting.
Two fast race horses with records
better than 2.10 will be driven by the
dogs, Rex and Max. These dogs, and
especially one of them, get as much
excited in their race as a jockey. They
have three other acts that they perform
singly, such as driving a cart before the
horse, etc. These are free open air at
tractions. There will be a show of ostriches,
pheasants, alligators, etc., from the
Florida Ostrich Farm. These people
had an exhibit at York, Pa., and Ha
gerstown, Md., and the people at these
nlaces were amazed at the wonderful
feats performed by these birds.
At night there will be interesting fire
works. All the buildings will be open
and there will be suitable attractions.
The fair ground has been greatly im
proved this year, the buildings being
painted white, giving it quite a neat
appearance.
You mav be sure Greensboro will
give you a good time. Almost every
body has a relative or a friend living or
boarding in Greensboro, and the cheap
rates on account of the fair will give
them a good opportunity to visit them.
Tuesday will be one of the biggest
days of the week, although we expect
to have four big days, making Friday
as interesting as the first day.
The Record is authority for the state
ment that a white man walked into
one of the registration places in Greens
boro Saturday and after satisfying him
self he was in the right place, said he
wanted to register. The usual ques
tion under such circumstances is for
the registrar to ask is if the voter wants
to register under the grandfather
clause, which is a permanent registra
tion and under which quite a large
number of neonle are reeisterine. And
so it was he asked ' -Under the grand
father clause?" The man looked
straight at the registrar a moment,
then growled "My grandfather had
no claws; he was no dog,' I'll have you
to understand and you can go to sheol;
I'll not register and I'll notvote," and
he walked out in a huff. Efforts at
explaining the matter were useless;
he could not make the' distinction be
tween clause and claws!
Registrars will beat
the various polling:
places on Saturdays
until the 25th. On
other davs they may
be found at their
homes or places of
business.

price. Farmers seem to be well pleased
with their prices on tall the sales in
act, the satisfaction'prevailing among
sellers has been remarkable. We
rarely ever see a pile of tobacco taken
, and in , most . cases wherever they
are taken in the seller can be satisfied.
We note ho special change in prices,
yet on big sales like we have had for
the past week, prices are always some
easier, and with this 'exception, we re
gard tobacco selling at about the same
price that it has been for the past
weeks, with an "active market on all
grades. Our buyers are getting some
what crowded in their factories, and
have all they can do to take care of the
sales.

Over a hundred girls are now em
ployed at the American Cigar Com
pany's factory here, while others are

with the work. , ! s
Some funny manufacturer desires to
put in the market a "joke" plug to
bacco, with a filler made of brown
paper and a wrapper of genuine leaf.
The Intental Revenue Bureau does not
see the humorous possibilities of the
article sufficiently to release it from the
payment of the six cents a pound tax.
