One of the State papers, in refer ring several days ago, to Governor Kitchin’s complaint that the Demo- c.*atic newspapers of the 3tate were not giving as full reports of his speech as might be desired, made the point that if Governor Kitchin would give inem something new to repo^ what he says might be given frller circulation. It is true. Neither Governor Kitchin nor Judge Clark has departed in any material respect from the sum and substance of the first speeches they made.—Charlotte Observer. It is the same old drivel simf ly abusing^nd misrepresenting Simmons. $1,000,000 DAMAGeS Unofticial Estimate of Loss to Crops Among Sou- lhei*n States Made by the Department ot Agricul ture. More than $8,000,000 damage was done to crops in the South last month by the army wornr-^, accndinj to i - official estimates of /:'ie F par- nr of Agriculture. Whether the season’s seconed brood of the insects, already appearing in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and other States, will increase this loss is of much concern to government ex perts. Ail the means at the depart- ment'a disposal are being used to meet the emergency. Reporta of the department say,,the army worm, at some places half a Joot deep on railroad tracks, have stopped trains. The loss is placed at $1,000,- 000 in Georgia while in Arkansas twenty per cent of the corn and 10 per cent of the cotton planted have destroyed. Losses also have been great in Tennessee, the Carolinas, Ala bama, Mississippi and Louisiana. In some of these, particularily Louisiana they exceed the million mark. Cotton, corn, sugar cane and rice’ crops from Louisiana to the Atlantic have been affected. Asks $50,000 to Fight Plague. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia, at the request of Health Officer Woodward, have asked Congress for an appropriation of $50,000 tj protect Washington against the bubonic plague. War will be made on rats. In a report to the Commissioners Dr. Woodward^ says the plague is now menacing the entire Atlantic and Gulf Gulf coasts and apparently has already gained a foothold among the rats of New Orleans.

C., whose I sixty-foarth nomination came by acclamation recently at the hands of the Democratic county convention. Since August, 1848, Mr. Laws has oc cupied the office continuously. Since 1868, when the present method of issuing marriage license went into effect, he has issued oyer 5,000 marriage licenses, and likewise has he recorded land deeds by the thousands.

He has been married twice, and is the father of nine children his oldest child is 60, and his youngest 12 months. His living wife is only 23 years of age.

Mr. Hicks, a son of Mrs. Hicks and who is about 50 years old, wao awaken ed about midnight by a noise in his room. Seeing the two men in the room, he jumped out of bed, but was knocked senseless by one of the rob bers. The robbers then picked up a trunk and left the house. Mrs. Hicks and a daughter, who were occupying a room in another part of the house, were aroused by the noise and went to Mr. Hicks room where they found him in a partily dazed c^fadition, and the lobbers and the trunk had disappeared. An alarm was given and scon an officer was on the scene. On the railroad not very far from the house, the trunk was found broken open and the money was gone.

The judge in his j,‘keynote speech” a few days ago de clared Kitchin had done nothing, either as congressman for 12 years or during his term as governor to justify his asking for further promotion. “Kitchin’s record is worse that Sim mons’,” declared the chief justice.

Still ac cording to the contentions of some It is eligible to vote in the senatorial primary, although it does not think so. —Durham Herald. Sorry you can not vote for Mr. Craig It would seem you could ^have gotton over the predudice created by Mr. Kitchin four years ago, however we agree with you, that you may scratch as many names off the Democratic primary ticket that you care to, so you do not substitute Republican names and it should be perfectly legi timate. You can do that to the point of leaving only Mr. Kitchin name on the ticket. Any other construction of a piimary ticket is based upon senseless, selfish, predudice and should not be coiint£na lent.

A Qratuous Intimation Some newspapers are seriously concerning them selves about the politics of the Greensboro News, primarily, and particuly as they wish to damage the standing of the News In the Democratic party, because ot its support of Senator Simmons. We are personaly acquainted with the entire staff of the News, have been intimately acquainted with most of them for years, and we know absolutely that there is not a man on the sta but what will vote the Democratic ticket from bottom to top, and it is a gratuous fling to intimate to the contrary. vVhy We Require Your Signature Many people fail to understand why The Dispatch consistently refuses to publish any item, no matter how In significant, unless the signature of the writer is attached. The following article, clipped from the Shelby Star, telling how that papers got into trou ble through its failure to enforce this yeiy rule, may help to explain the mystery. “Some smart aleck used the columns of the Star last Friday to play a joke on a neighbor. A notice came in signed a ‘Friend’ asking us to announ ce a singing at the home of an esteem ed citizen and readers of this paper on Shelby route 1. We took it that the news was legitimate and authorized so it was printed, but it turned out that this smarty only wanted to play a joke. We do not know who it was. If we did, he, she, or it wouid get a good sound lecture and have his, her ad its name published with this article. The Star is always willing to publish not- tice of this nature free of charge when they are arthorized by the person or persons involved, but we do not like to be made the medium of false and illegitimate news,” This imposition compels us to renew a rule that most all papers enforce. Hereafter we shall demand that the name of the person writing the news shall be sent in also, not for publi cation, but to insure good faith. It matters not how important or Insigni ficant the news item is, the name of the writer must be attached so as to protect the paper. We, of course, withhold the name from the paper un less the nature of the article and the wish of the auther is that it be pub- 'llshed.—^ Lexington Dispatch.
