SATURDAY. MARCH 23rd. 1912 What the Farmers Pay. The farmer, lie pays the freight, the tax, and the pensions, and to do this he has to cultivate three acres in order fnr his own use the DroduCt of . T : . U mn4- otnnanniiG 07C- lW(. It IS lilt: lliuat aiupi.H"wuj tern of iniquity and oppression to which any free people ever submitted, and yet the farmer who works three days for two days' wages is expected to walk up to the polls and vote for pro tection, which he never gets. Down with the war tariff! Mr. Simmons and Mr, Kitchin. To the Editor: May I ask a ques tion and will some of Governor Kitchin's friends please tell why every man who gets in his way becomes a Judas, a Repnblican, traitor, a wolf, in sheep's clothing. Mr. Craig was a man who was held in high rankand esteem and had the confidence of his people, but as soon as he got in Mr. Kitchin's way he became a traitor, a Republican of the deepest dye. But as soon as the tight was over, then again Mr. Craig is a gentlemen, a man worthy to become the Governor of North Carolina. But now Mr. Simmons has got in his path as I find he, too, has turned black, be comes Judas, traitor, Republican. And why is he a Republican? If I under stand it is because when a Republican President asked that the gap be taken down so Canada could send in all her raw material, and farmers here should not be protected, but the factory was Mr. Simmons said: "I can't do that because it discriminates against the farmer:" but says he, "give the farmer the same chance as you do the factory and I will vote for the bill." I wish to know if protecting the classes and leaving unprotected the farmer and the masses is what Mr Kitchin means to say is Democratic. If that is what it means, then deliver me. And I wish to say to mv farmer friends: "Do you want a man that invites competition to beat down your prices, but says pro tect the factory?" E. J. Fletcher, in Rocky Mount Echo. Stovall Short Stops. We are sorry to learn of the continued illness of Mr. Lewis Wilson. We are dlad to see Mr.Taz Cutts out again after an attack of rheumatism. There will be services in the Presby terian Church next Sunday night at 7.30, conducted by Rev. Mr. Joines. Vaneination is in style here, and nearly every child you meet says "be careful, please, and don't touch my arm." Mr W. P. Slaughter who has been on an extended visit to J. P. Williams, near Virgilina, is the guest of Mr. Jas. K. Wilkerson this week. Spuprnl neonle from here went over t r.inrirviil last Sundav afternoon to I see the raging waters, and all testify to the devastations ot the storm.

L.i.ewis, ins suu ject being the "Building of Solomon's Temple." One of our merchants was posting up his books recently and came across an article charged, which he could i.i 1 I .V. not make out, ami called me cier wuu made the entry to render an explana tion. After scrutinizing the entry a moment the clerk replied that it was a physical impossibility to tell what it was since it was entered on the book one whole week. Some claim it is caused by eating the seed of tomatoes; by flour ground by a roller mill, the iron washing off the roller: by eating corn meal made from corn in a molded state, but I claim it is caused by eating victuals cooked or stewed in a blacK tin or galvanized pan. If you put fruit that contains acid in any other than a por celain vessel and stir it you will find a sediment foreign to the fruit which is doubtless nothing less than the shedding of the inner surface of the cooking utensil. When you eat the fruit you also consume a quanty of lsad or tin. which I think brings on ap pendicitis. I have a right to mv own opinions, but would be pleased to hear from others on the subject.

Who ever thought that divided we d ne. As to who should succeed "Old Mary Ann B." Do vou remember, in ninty-eight. When we started in to save the State;! When negro rule was having full svay, And everything good had been driyen j away. What was it then, when we needed a man, To lead us out from under that band. That went to the wheel of the "old ship" of State, And headed her straight for the golden gate. Who's mighty brain and powerful hand, j Brought tne old snip saie to lanac Brought her out of a sea of despair, And placed her in a harbor fair? Where she'll stay for the ages to come, An ever reminder of work well done; And who do you say is this leader brave, That did our good "Old North State" Save? Why F. M. Simmons, our chairman great, Who Pops and Republicans fear and Now isn't it right, and isn't it fair, That we give to him a Senator s chair? There is no man more able than he, To defend the rights of our N. C. And be it early or be it late He'll e'er stand firm fos the "Old North State." Newbern Sun. FOR SHERIFF.
