IvITCHIN WAS IDOL OF STH DISTRICT _____ j Judge Manning Recalls Cam paign Of Kitehin and Settle In 1896—Kitehin Captured Boston Audience. Charlotte, Nov. 11. "William Walton Kitehin first attracted atten tion as an orator and campaigner | in the contest in the fifth district for I house of V representatives in 1 SIM? .-.gainst Tom Settle," Judge James S. Manning, attorney general of North j Carolina, who was KitchinV cam paign manager for governor in l!'t»s and who was his law partner in Ra leigh fivp or six years, following his j tv rm as governor, recalled here yes terday in connection with ox-Gov ernor KitchinV death Sunday. "It was a forlorn hope for the democrats that year, for the republi cans and populists had fused and had already named Settle, who had been in Congress several years, as their candidate. Settle was an ef fective and brilliant speaker, a hand some man, and created a splendid impression. With the fusion, and Settle's record, it would Ik- a hard task to heat the combination," said j Judge Manning. "It was not very enthusiastic or hopeful district democratic conven tion that met to name Settle's op ponent. Before the convention were the names of Judge A. W. Graham, of Oxford; John K. Webster, of Reidsville, and William Wal tor Kitehin, of Roxhoro. Kitehin got the nomination. "As was the custom of the day he (started on a joint canvass of the dis trict with Settle, a young and inex perienced aspirant against probably the ablest ami most popular republi j ran in the state. It was generally I admitted that fo" the first three or four meetings Settle got the better ■of young Kitehin. I'.ut after that he • struck his stride and held his own jagain-t the older campaigner. "Kit.-hiii beat Settle by about titll) | votes in a year that will long be | remembered for the republican-pop ulist landslide, he having been the only democrat elected to Congress front North Carolina in that cam paign. That campaign and victory made him the idol of that district, which he represented for 12 years, retiring to enter the campaign for governor. "While Kitehin was governor he was invited to deliver an address in I Boston at a big educational meet ing," Judge Manning recalled "President Taft was on the program and immediately preceded Governor Kitehin. The large hall was filled to capacity to hear the President. But it was a disappointed crowd! for President Taft's voice did not carry and three-fourths of the crowd could not hear him, but they sat through it in respectful silence. "As soon as President Taft finish ed, the bulk of the crowd got up and started out. A few of them had passed the doors when Governor Kitehin was presented very briefly. It was like a "walk-out" on the in signifieent North Carolina governor, submerged in the shadow of the President of the United States. He sensed the situation and was quick to perceive that he would be talk ing to empty seats unless something was done and that at once. "Governor KitchinV rich sonor ous voice rose above the din of shuttling feet and hurled move ment*. reaching into every corner of the large auditorium. Men and women jerked themselves up as well trained soldiers straighten at the command of "attention." Like sol diers, also, at the command of "'bout face," they swung on a pivot ed heel to look at the speaker. But very much unlike soldiers, they stopped, retraced their steps and slipped into their vacated seats or any others they could find. "That vast throng, probably not more than a hundred getting out be frire # Govemor Kitehin fired his voice into the scattering forces, stayed with every word wfth ease, in sharp contrast to the strained ears that had attempted to catch a word now and then from President Taft." Road To Westfield Almost Completed The state highway from Danbury to Westfield is almost completed, -the grading forces having already reach ed Danbury, and the road will likely be finished next week.

WINSTON REVOKES PARKING LAWS Cars May Stand On Streets In definitely Provided They Are Within 12 Inches of the Curb. Winston-Salem, Nov. 7.—After several weeks of preparation for en forcing the parking ordinances of Winston-Salem, with much time spent in erecting signs and educat ing the public, the board of alder men, at the session tonight, revoked practically all parking laws, and henceforth the vehicles may stand upon the streets just as long as the owner desires to leave them, provid ed they are within 12 inches of the curb. The announcement of an intensive enforcement has aroused much in terest and the action of the aldermen • came as a distinct surprise to the en | tire city. No explanation of the ac tion was given. I No Increase In Pay For Legislators Raleigh, Nov. 10.—Defeat for the constitutional amendment increas ing the pay of legislators from $4 to $lO a day, has become a certainty since Saturday and plans for a re newal of the tight are again under way. The amendment was lost at the late election chiefly because there was nobody to press the issue. Hard -Ily a word was said about it. In the : next t ffort to get the state inter i ested, the proponents will submit | the issue and t ffect an organization | for carrying the arguments to the ' people. This is the third defeat of the measure within ten years. Al ways it has had to travel with other proposals, so that getting a vote on it has been very difficult. The pub lic did not go deeply into these side proposals at the ballot box. The j>4 per diem is such inade j quale pay that Raleigh people ftar I soon the day whin high grade men j must give tin public service, which I costs so much of their reserve funds at home.
