HON. W. W. The Congressional Convention of the Fifth District held In Greensboro two weeks ago re-nomlnated by ac clamation Hon. V. W. Kitchin to succeed himself In the next Congress. The evident feeling of the Conven tion was, that there w as no use In giving any extended time to a matter which the vox populi had decided. Of Mr. Kitchin it should be said that he is well deserving of the con lidence which the people of his district have thus expressed in him. He is a man who has "risen from the ranks" his success in life being due entirely to his own efforts. He Is a conscientious painstaking, industrious member of Congress, and has proved himself to be faithful In the discharge of his duty to the sec tion which he represents. The manner of Mr, Kitchin'srenom inationis highly suggestive of the satisfaction his service has given his constituents, since its virtually a re election by the votes of Ids District. He is the people's choice and will b re-elected without charges of bribery being made, or other scandal or acri monious contention of any sort whatever. The unanimous re-nomination of a member of Congress, or the unani mous nomination of any man for that position by a District Conven tion of his party is the highest pos sible compliment that can be paid any citizen or statesman. It is done only when the name presented to the people is a tower of strength to the WHAT'S FARMERS WIPE OXFORD, IS THE PLACE TO High Prices Rule The Roost You can iust bet we are strictly in the swim for the new crop which we are proud to say has started off hierh.

KITCHIN imrtv. and it is rarely done only be cause it is very rare that any one man attains such prominent distinc tion as to command the united vote of his political associates for such an office. It is evident from the unanimity and enthusiasm w ith which the name of V. W. Kitchin was presented to his party of the District as its candi date for Congressman that there is no division of sentiment as to who shall succeed to Congress. It is in no spirit of partizanship, nor with slightest reference to merely political ends, but simply in illustra tion of the value of virtue, that we recognize in Mr. Kitchin's nomina tion hopeful signs of reformation in our political life. It is a sign of moral nrojrress that the suspicion of sullied purity is beginning to be fatal to a public man. It is an omen of good, w hen a large and representative Con vention, with the names of many dis tinguished men before it, one is borne above them all on the tide of popular enthusiasm, and with ringing peals of applause is presented to the peo ple, without effort of his own, as a candidate for high office, not only because of his eminent ability, but largely because of the transparent purity of his character, and his high, manly moral wTorth. To V. W. Kitchin, this proud dis tinction justly belongs and It Is this character that largely secured his re nomination and assures his election to Congress. Durham Thrift. Kn n N.
