The farmers placed inplicit confidence in Mr. Kitchin, nevertheless they knew that he vacated his seat in Congress practically the last year of his term in that body, with pay, that he might berate and antagonize the candidacy of Hon. Lock Craig, who he defeated for nomination for Govenor. The farmers know all this and more too. They recollect the lirst wail that riint the air when the Governor reach ed Raleigh and tooke his seat "I am not invested with the veto power." each insertion., PK EFF.R R ED PC SIT ION S.

He used the loud pedal when he was play ing to the farmer in the memorable j campaign four years ago. but when elected he applied the soft pedal to sooth the. heaving heart of the Trust. The demag(,ic agitation of Governor Kitchin is anything but pleasing to the intelligent farmers in this generation ami time. As a class they rryerdirect and positive statements, which have the ring of prosperity and Democratic harmony. The dispatches announce that, agree ments are now in sil.t on the iron bill, the wool bill and the excise tax j bill. Senator Simmons is the Demo ! crat actively in charge It would seem ! that his colleagues do not distrust his Democratic orthodoxy, any more than they fail to recognize his ability and industry. No one but Governor Kitchin has cast upon Senator Sim mons' Democracy imputations of the faintest kind. Party honors have been showered upon his head. He is a tried and true Democrat let Governor Kitchin fume as he may. A Contrast. Now that Governor Kitchin is ap pealing to the farmers to support him in his race for the United States Sen ate it is well that they scrutinize the Governor's record. Governor Kitchin is a ware that the farmer's vote is in dispensible in this campaign and he no doubt wishes that fewer of them read newspapers. In order to mislead them he states that nearly eyery paper in the State is against him; that he and his friends are not able to pay for editorial utterances in his behalf like the other fellows are doing. Every man in North Carolina, whether farmer or not, should know that Senator Sim mons is a comparatively poor man There are at least 150 daily and weekly newspapers in the State standing by Senator Simmons' record Many of these paper charge as much as 10 cents a line and never less than 5 cents a line for reading notices, which you generally see at the end of col umns and in odd places. If all we see in these 150 papers in advocacy of Senator Simmons was paid for at the rate stated above the advertising account wouid be not less than $50, 000 per month, or 5; 1,000,000 for the campaign advertising fund bused on the lowest possible rate. The charge that the press of the State is subsi dized is simply impossible. $100,000, 000 would not do it. Governor Kitchin is "foxey" all right enough, but the sturdy farmers need no paper and pencil to figure out the truthfulness of the assertion that the press of the State is subsidized. Mr. Kitchin in playing for the farmer's vote resorts to subterfuge and cunning, and tries to dazzle them with the wink of an eye, but their patience does not indi cate that they are willing to support Governor Kitchin in his effort to down the standard-bearer of Democracy. And there are other things that the farmers are carefully turning over in Judge Clark's Speech. Judge Clarkfi red the first gun of his j campaign for Senator at Greensboro j list Tuesday night. The Judge criti- cised the record of both his opponents, bat seems to have been the most se vere on that of Gov. Kitchin. "His record," said the Judge, "is worse than that of Simmons." He referred to the record of Governor Kitchin, many years in Congress and almost four years as Governor of North Carolina and asked what he had done. The Governor had not only failed to enforce the planks of the State Democratic platform regard ing trusts, etc., but he had gone the limit" in pardoning convicts, said the Judge. Judge'Clark avoided personalities in address, but sharply criticized what he described as the do nothing records of both Goyernor Kitchin and Senator Simmons in public office. He outlined the measures which he favors, describ ing them as progressive and asserting that neither of his competitors have ever advocated any of these measures that would give relief to the people and would not even state that they were in favor of them. He took both the Senator and the Governor to task for failure to carry out their promises made to the voters before the election and asserted that the corporations and railroads had lined up against him be cause they knew he would and could carry out the pre-election promises he is making. Simmons Brings Suit. There is a little paper published at Shelby by the name of The Highlander, which claims to be an independent paper with a Republican editor. The Highlander is supporting Mr. Kitchin for the Senate. In its issue of July 17th the following item, signed "Corn Cracker," made its appearance: ! "How long has Senator Simmons been feasting at the public crib? How about the $100,000 he has been paid for voting 19 votes wrong, according to the tenets and traditions of Demo cracy out of a possible 43." Immediately upon reading the item Senator Simmons telegraphed to Ry buro & Hoey, attorneys at-Iaw. at Shelby, as follows: 'I wish tt) employ you to at onee in stitute ciiminal and civil pioeeedings against both the writer and the pub lisher of thi3 bJanrirous chaige." The Highlander now says the para graph should read "$100,000 for the 19 yotes he cast in 12 years " NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION. This is to notify the public that the firm of Daniel & Turner is this day dissolved by mutual consent. G. C. Daniel, of the old firm, will continue to do business at the stand, and respect fully solicits the patronage of his old friends and the public in general. The best of fresh meats, reasonable prices and prompt service will prevail. This 11th day of July, 1912. G. C. DANIEL. Stimulates Road Building. The plan for State aid to good roads does not mean that the State shall build roads, but lend its assistance and credit to counties which are willing to help themselves. The State can em ploy expert road engineers to be sent from one county to another, says the Star, for the purpose of surveying roads and supervising their construction. One engineer can have charge of seve ral counties and do the work at a sav iug to the counties. In Pennsylvania State aid seems to stiumlate the counties in the work of constructing improved highways. The Chester Republican says 47 counties in the State have applied for State as sistance in the construction of 740 miles of roads. Delaware county has made nine applications for aid in the construction of 20 miles of road. North Carolina can well afford to adopt a practical and vigorous constructive policy towards the construction of im proved highways. Our Fair. A place where people may meet and exchange views, study the improved methods, meet old friends and make new acquaintances. Its purpose is to keep abrest with advanced agriculture and the trades, that our community will be able to take front rank and cope with the revolutionizing influence and changing customs that are an nually taking place. And for this pur pose a time and place are set apart to bring together the products of the field and shop, that stimulus might be given to those departments of labor, upon which rests our great national wealth. It will be our endeayor to deal fairly with all exhibitors, that we may re ceive their approval and at the same time merit the best wishes of the cit izens of our country for the success of the Association. We feel that we should receive the best efforts of our people in behalf of the Fair.and sincere ly trust that the same may be express ed by their attendance in large numbers.
