Home in Ncotland Neck.
Scotland Neck. Nov. 9. —Former Gov-{
ernor W. W- Kitch’n died this morn-,I
ing shortly after 3 o'clock. For months.!
ihe had been in a "critical condition, and
i his death at any time would not have.i
, caused surprise. Thar, he held .on so 1
long despite the ravages of an incurable''
•disease was attributed to a vitality:
: which it js given to few men to possess.
Several months ago he seemed on the
very brik of .the grave. But. be rallied
and continued the struggle, though it
was realized at a'l times that per
manent recovery was impassible. Friday
he suffered a very serious relapse and
ntteding physicians said he was in a
dying condition. During the afternoon
and night it was believed that he would
not live till morning, but Saturday he
rallied and during the day and in the
first part of Saturday night he was re
ported as resting more comfortably. But
later in the night he suffered a relapse
and sank rapidly. All the members of
bis family were at his bedside when he
died, having been summoned when his
condition grew so serious Friday.
The funeral will be held Monday
afternoon at 4 o’clock from the Scot
land Neck Baptist Church of which lie
was a member. The services vWll be con
ducted by Dr. R. T. Vann, of Raleigh.
The death of Governor Kitehin marks
the third death in his immediate family
in less than a year and a half. His
brother, Claude Kitcliin, whose career,
like that of the former Governor, was
one of unusual distinction, died May
*ll, 1923. Paul Kitehin. a younger
brother, died a month or two later.
William Walton Kitehin. loriner gov
ernor of North Carolina and for six
terms a representative in Congress from
the fifth North Carolina district, wac

of Capt. William H. Kitehin. widely
known as “Ruck” Kitehin, and Maria

LARGE SHIPMENT OF
LIQUOR IS DESTROYED
-
24,000 Quarts of Scotch Rye and Cluun
pagne Destroyed in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Go., Nov. 10. —The largest
shipment of expensive liquors ever seized
in Atlanta, according to local officers,
was destroyed today by Federal prohibi
tion agents. The liquor—24.o(H) quarts
of Scotch, rye and champagne:—'was dis
covered yesterday in local railroad yards 1
by Captain Grover C. Fain, of the At
lanta police department. It was hidden
behind an innocent appearing “blind” of
lumber in a railroad box car.
Based on current bootleg prices, it is
estimated that the 24,000 quartes of liquor
was worth between $200,000 and #225.-
000.
New OMcans Cotton Review.
New Orleans, Nov*. 9.—Although is
sued right at the close oft he week the
government reixirt ‘‘orecasting the crop
vield based on conditions existing on
November 1 and giving the total amount
ginned to the same date was the
dominating influence throughout last
week in the cotton market. Fears that
the report would point to a crop of aje ,
proximately 13.000.000 bale* and total
gainings of approximately 10.000,000
bales served to cause liquidation dur
ing the early days of the week and on
Wednesday fowred the price level for
January contracts down to 22.49.
It is probable that the price level
\v*ould have dropped lower than it did
for the stimulus to general, trade
given by the result of the presidential
election. That influence prospects for a
change to'less favorable weather and
many indications that spinners, both
domestic and foreign. were absorbing
contracts on all breaks as insurance
against their future needs, kept prices
fairly steady during the greater part of
the week and even caused rallies which
on Thursday curried tin* price for
January up to 23.21.
Aside from the fear of the govern
ment report prices were held in check
more or less by reports of a slowing
down in the export demand after the
completion of October commitments and
a rather easier basis for spots in most
of the southern market?.
Prior *to the publication of the gov
ernment report at 10 o’clock Saturday
morning. January contracts had eased
oc to 22.83. When the crop forecast of
12.816,000 ba’es and ginnings of 9.469,-
920 were published the firest effect on
the market was an immediate decline in
that month to 22.50, a drop of 33
points, but almost immediately, the
heavy buying orders appeared in the
market and within less than five
minutes of the issuance of the report
January hard advanced to 23-00, or 110
pdints up from the low. The market re
mained steady to the end, final prices
showing a net gain so the week of 56
points.

Salisbury, Nov. 8. —The Paul Rubber

W. J. BRYAN PRAISES
UOOLIDGE AND DAVIS
Declares Democratic l>efeat Is Not So
Crushing as That of 1920 Election.
M’ashington. Nov. B.—ln a statement
i issued here tonight summarizing hisopin
-1 ions of the election returns. 'William
I Jennings Bryan declared the Democratic
party remains “the only hope of the pro
gressive element of the country.”
I The Republican victory, he said, was
, not a« disastrous to the Democrats as
’ that of 1920, when overwhelming Repub
i lican majorities were returned in Senate
I and House. He counseled Democcrats
J to "find consolation in the fact that the
I high character of President Uoolidge and
j General Dawes insures that the country
I will have the very best service that they
can render.”
"The third party, even under the able
j leadership of Senator La Follette,” said
Mr. Bryan, “polled such a small percent
age of the total vote tlmt his supporters
must lie convinced that it is impossible
tot build up a class party in the United
States. *
“Davis and Bryan stood forp rogres
sivp policies and made a clean and hon
orable campaign. Mr. Uoolidge carried
eight state by a minority vote: these
might have been taken from him had the
i progressives been united.
“If the Democrats do half as well two
years from now as they did two years
ago, they will control the next Congress
and lay the foundations sfor the cam
paign of 1928.”

M’ashington. Nov. 10 (By the Asso
ciated Pre^s). —The passing of Senator
Lodge just as his narty was preparing to
harvest (he fruits of a sweeping victory
at the polls, surrounds the question of
leadership in the Senate with new and un
usual considerations.
A veteran of the old guard, adamant
against the policies of the LaEollette in
surgents on the one hand, and unable to
accept some of the proposals of the re
publican administration on the .other, the
Massachusetts patriarch more than once
had found his title as republican floor
leader somewhat of an anomaly. Now
that the powerful equation of his person
al influence has been removed from the
problem, party chieftains cease the task
of detailing what new alignment can be
effected to fill the gap and make for par
ty solidarity.
In the determination of this question,
President Uoolidge undoubtedly will have
an opportunity to wield the dominant
power of party leadership conferred on
him by Tuesday’s election. If lie cares
to give it. his advice will be a powerful
factor in deciding whether the old guard
is to remain as the directing force of the
or whether seniority is to lie cast
aside and some new leader lifted from
the ranks to a position of command.
Tins question assumes a still greater
significance when it is considered that
the new congress which meets next year
will see a substantial increase in republi
can senate strength, bringing into the sit
uation new and untried quantities. In
view of the changes to take place as a
result of the election just held, and the
close balance in the present congress, any
permanent reorganization of the republi
can Mde may be delayed for some mouths
and a temjKirarj* leader designated to act
during the short winter session.

Annual Rod Cross Roll Call.
The eighth annual Red Cross roll call
begins tomorrow, Jyovember 11th and goes
through November the 27th.
The Anti-Tuberculosis Society and the
local chapter of the Red Cross are go
ing to emjiloy a full time county nurse
this year. M T e call upon all to assist us
in this inost worthy cause. Every dollar
you give will go to brighten and strength
en some unfortunate life in the struggle
against this deadly disease, tuberculosis.
M T e now know that if taken in time it
can be cured. And better still, if peoirfe
know how to avoid it. they will never
have it. Our nurse is going from place
to place to give all the information and
help that she has. not only in helping
those who are sick to get well, but also
in teaching people how to prevent the
disease.
In addition some of our Red Cross mon
ey will go to the ex-service men of the
county who may need assistance. MV
, were in position to render some very val
uable help in this direction last year.
Again, we never know when storms or
fires or earthquakes arc going to make
people homeless.
J I traveled through a section of our
! own state last summer that had been
struck by a tremendous cyclone. The
Re<WCross was on the scene in less than
two hours afterward, with cots, bedding,
I food, and clothing.
The canvassers will see you in the
next few days. Join now!
