How Facts are Perverted One of the Jjexington’s most notori ous tigers and most no-account aiid worthless wh.'te citizens, proved a character in court last week that only the elect, the, “pure in heart,” are supposed to have. One lawyer after another rose in the court room and f olemnly proclaimed him to be a mod el young man, free from guile, hard working, industrious and honest. Ev ery one of these godd citizens knew that he ran away from Lexington at the last term of court after he had been convicted of selling liquor; that he h^d teen in the mayor’s court within the past month for being in a drunken brawl on Sunday and that he ran away again; that his working for the past five or six years has been spar^modic and uncertain and furthermore that he will probably be back at his old tricks within a week. Just why good citizens sworn officers of the court, at that, will do stunts of that kind, is past finding out. This young man was cr jelly forced to abide in the county jail for several weeks'proceeding court and it appears that he has just cause for a whoping big damage suit against the town of Lexington and he should start it at once. If the lawyers are to be believed, he a much maligned and a much mistreated citizen, a martyr beside whom John Bunyan ranks as a piker. — Lexington Dispatch.

It is very essantial that the farmers in this section of the state plant their corn deep below the surface, but, of course, cover it shallow. Last spring a number of fanners carried out every essenUal detail for the production of a good com crop with the exception of planting the com deeply. The ground was moist until the middle of May. This shallow planted corn developed its root ssrstem only on surface where moisture condi tions were just right These moisture conditions remained just right until the last of May or first of June, when in many cases, the com plant was luting for tas&el. At this stage of the growth of the plant, the root system has nearly completed its develop ment and from this time on little extension of the com roots may be expected as its energfies are thence forth occupied in producing the ear. Moisture conditions beii^ optimum up until this period of the growth of the plant, the great bulk of the roots were formed and remained in the first four inches of the soil. Now, the annual.

Yet They View With Alarm Chicago Tribune. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt recently gave what was described as “the most elaborate society event in the history of Newport.” It was a fancy dress ball. The reporter said the guests “were attired in costumes of Oriental opulence.” We don’t fancy his expression, yet he conveyed the idear A con'ic opera company was brought from New York to sing to the guests while they ate their ; first supper. The expense of this stunt was ^,000 for the performance, plus cost of tran sportation. incidentally that was where the bhuberts put it over Mr and Mrs Vandebilt. The Shuberts, who own the show, would have jumped at the chance of sending their production to Newport free to amuse the Vanderbilts and their friends, on account of the advertisement. The fortunes of this particular comic opera was made when it played in Beaulieu. New York reasons, “What is good enough for Vanderbilts is good enough for us.” A week before this Mrs. Fish gave a fancy dress ball, which until eclipsed by the Cornelius Vanderbilt event, held the record for “the most elabo- rrte society event in the history of Newpprt.” Mrs. Fish released hun dreds of white doves and thousands of butterflies over the dancers. The 400 people who went to these balls are the most thoroughly adver tised of that class now engaged in viewing with alarm the spread of the revolutionary spirit throughout the land. We advise them, if they wish to do anything in discouragement of this spirit, to make their amusements somewhat less conspicuous. It is not the real difference in wealth between the haves and have- nots, so much as the dramatized dif- serence which angers and unites the have-nots against the haves.

Whittier. been a visitor in Stanly four years ago when Congressman Claude Kitchin made a few campaign speeches in this section, we asked him as to Mr. Kitchin’s declarations fronr> the stump in that campaign. Mr. uockhart was a csndidnte that year himself, >nd for this reason paid close attention to the congressman's speech in order to arm himself for battle, in which the Democratic position wau to be set forth. In conversrtion witii a number of local Democrats, Mr. Kitchin asked, “How are your lumbermen taking the plank in reference to taking the tariff off of lumber?*’ He said he could straighten them out all right on that. And in his speech, which Mr. Lockhart heard, Mr. Kitchin said in effect that while we propose taking the tarilf off of lumber, we will also take it off of machinerr, leather, rubber, belting and a number of other things which enter into the manufacture of lumber; “we do not propose to single out little aaw mills of the south, and at the same time leave the great protected steel barons and leather trusts of the north to prey upon them.” Our former reference to Mr. Kitchin’s speech was in error only as to minor details, and in his denial of the charges the congressmen took advantage of those, and not the true essence of the article. Mr. Lockhart is not a supporter of Mr. Simmons, and when we approach ed him he showed a reluctace to talk upon the matter for publication. How ever, when the situation was explained to him. and that we wanted only an un varnished story of his recollection of Congressman Kitchin's speech in regard to the lumber tariff, he stated in sub stance what we have given above. In regard to the circulars which were is sued in the campaign of 1908, he saya these did not appear until sometime af ter the congressman’s speech. In this Mr. Lockhart bears out what Mr. Kitchin said in his denial, and the Enterprise has no desire to misquote either gentleman, or mistate facts. What we do claim is, that the avow ed positition in 1908 of Congressman Claude Kitchin, as expressed in his speeches in this country, is practically that today of Senator Simmons. The senator today stands opposed to re moving the tariff on lumber (which is but a tariff for revenue only), so long as the steel barons, leather trusts, and other protected interests are allowed to prey upon our saw mills and lumber men, which are in no sense of the word fattening on protection. The position of Senator Simmons is wholly consistent with that of his party in the state as declared in 1908 by the governor's brother and others. —Albe marle Enterprise.
