art Wfll Out a Small rigure In This
State.-
Raleigh, Aug. 7. It is a rare week
nowadays .. that does Jiot - develop
something of interest & the senator
ial primary contest,' and it must be a
matter of regret to all good party
that discreditable " insinuations"
should be made by one candidate
against another in such a friendly
iqtra-ptrty eonteet as this ought to
be. Especially ia it to be deplored
that Governor Kitehin in his speech
delivered in August first should have
employed language for which there
does not appear to have been any jus
tification whatever. . J. . ;
n'- , "'. : ' e e ;
The positive statement of the Sen
ator that he is today "not worth as
much as when he eame to the senate"
only serves to accentuate what his
close personal friends well know, and
there is not an unprejudiced voter in
the Democratic party that - ean be
made, to believe that Senator Sim
mons' official conduct has not been as
clean as that of any man in Congress.
The eommon. expression here is that
uch ''campaigning" as this will not
injure .Senator ; Simmons, but . will
soon destroy any chance the authors
of it ever had of electing; Coventor
Kitehin to the position.., .:
The Governor 'also seems to still
have a prejudice against our State
newspapers though not ; much has
been said by him until now since, the
experience he had at Rocky Mount.
When any man intimates that the
press of North Carolina (and above
all our weekly papers, noted for their
nonesry and lair dealing) are " sub
sidized" because they show a friend
ly fteling. to One of his opponents.
he is treading on the most dangerous
kind of ground. Abusing newspaper
men will never elect any person to
any nign omce, and . it is really a
strange - thing that the" Governor
should reveal : an antipathy to the
class of workers who have done more
for the Democratic ' party, ' and are
constantly doing much valuable work
for the candidates for office (be
cause they , are the choice of our pari
ty) than any other class of people
who pgure in the elections.
The Governor has friends in . the
ne?paper. fraternity," and so , has
Jiidge tar:Thore papers fhae
appeared to be Inendly to Senator
Simmons, surely that is their priv
ilege,4 Many newspapers print pol
itical advertising on the same basis
they advertise anything, even if the
candidate about : whom the advertis
ing appears is not the choice of the
paper. Governor Kitehin seems to
understand that and in a statement
made in Raleigh since the speech re
ferred toT he stated that he did not
jritieise. the papers for that. "I
may have to buy some space myself "
Governor Kitehin added. k; ...
Judge Clark has called on Gover
nor Kitehin to tell the people- just
it is he has donerio entitle him to the
senatdrship. The judge in his "key
note, speech" a few days ago declar
ed Kitehin had done nothing, either
as congressman for twelve years or
during- his term as Governor: to jus
tify his asking for further .'.promo
tion. (' Kitehin V record-, is ' wowe
than Simmons'' declared the chief
iustice. :For the Judge could not say
that our senior senator . had odnw
nothing. - His spelndid work of late
especially for our State and the na-
tinmal Uemoeratw party nas oeen so
brilliant and successful that it is
new common knowledge to all men.

electors, and other officers will be

the stampede initiated by the "Bull
Meese" when Dr. J. J. Mott offered
the resolution, which in effect reads
all adherents of Theodore Roosevelt
out of the Republican organisation.
The Mott resolution was -finally
adopted . without the change of a
sentence, the only substitution being
tne last paragraph, which was offered
byMr. Tucker. The tesolutiou orig
inally. did not name J he place for
meeting, provision being made for
inserting this after such decision was
made. The resolution as finally
adopted reads: ... r

The Day Was Ideal And tie Crowd
ia Attendance Large A Oreat
Occasion. .- ' ' ;
The day for the home-eoming at
Coddle Creek waa an ideal one and
by the opening, hour a large crowd
bad assembled in the beautiful grove
to eelebrats the occasion. It is the
belief of the writer that no one went
away disappointed with the success
of the occasien. . Everybody -seemed
to enjoy the day thoroughly. Many
of the old students -of the academy
whose work had led them away from
the- community, the county and the
State were there to renew old ac
quaintances.,,, To .-see the hearty
hand shakea and pleasant smiles that
were exchanged between the old
schoolmates and friends reminded
one. of a family reunion. Most of
the addresses were made by the for
mer teachers or pupils of the acad
emy. . The Mooresvilis. cornet band
and the local choir furnished music
for the occasion.' The exercises' were
opened by the choir with an anthem,
The Earth ia the Lords." Rev. R.
. Davidson, the pastor loci, in an
ppropriate address welcomed the
audience to the pleasures of the
day. . , " ' T; -A4
v The most interesting sddress, es
pecially to those wbe Jiad been stu
dents at the academy, -fas an histori
cal review made by M. W. A. Kerr,
an old teacher at the academy. Mr.
Kerr had three sens on the program,
all of whom were Presbyterian min
isters, actively engage! in the work.
The most attractive features to the
entire audience were Hie recitations
by Miss Margaret Smith, of Coddle
Creek, and the address of Rev. W.
On, of Charlotte. N. C. Dr. Orr's
subject was, "Then and Now." His
contrast . of the .. present conditions
with the past is, dancing, courting,
school equipment. ete. was pleasing
to the audience and bis appeal to the
youth of the eonimumfy in view of
wbat had been -accomplished under
adverse conditions, to "avail themsel
ves of the better conditions and to
grow in physical, intellectual and
spiritual strength, ;' was ; especially
strong. :-- - it
A real picnic dinner was1 served
on- the grounds. The ''committee on
arrangements bad provided a table
some 30 odd yards long and on this
waa spread s sumptuous and tempt
ing H dinner as ia sprtiftf anywhere: It
is needless to say-that this part of
the programme was. heartily enjoyed
by every one ' present, -j
'The evening exercises consisted of
addresses by the following: Rev. G.
Kerr, Chas, E. Boger, T. U. Furr
and Rev. R. T. Kerr. All the address
es were listened to with interest by
the -audience that re-assembled, for
the evening exercises. The exercises
closed with a song by the choir:
'God Be With You Till We Meet
Again!',' '''
Not a single thing occurred to mar
the pleasures of the day and many
went .away looking iorward . to the
second home coming held -in the Cod

8ome one had the "nerve" to
start a report around hers that the
Lockeitea were done with baseball
this season. Of course no one gave
the' report any serious consideration
but-just to show the public and all
interested fans that they are not ex
actly through they played a fifteen
inning game yesterday with Gaston
ia, the score resulting in Gastonia
one, and the Lockeitea were unable
to make the trip. . For fifteen frames
the two teams battled iu gruelling
fashion, the visitors finally making a
tally, when a Lockeite outfielder tripp
ed and fell going after a fly ball,
allowing the pellet to'bnmp safely
and a runner from second crossed. .
Extra inning games are on the or
der of pretty girls, the last one seen
is always the best looking. But in
this particular game there is no dis
counting the fact that it was by all
odds the closest and fastest exhibi
tion of the popular pastime witness
ed here this season. . fifteen innings
and one run! Some live ball playing

please take notice.
Cook at second played -a swell
game, handling thirteen chances with
only one bobble. The batting of Fer
ris and Jenkins featured for the vis
itors. As for the pitchers, Graham
and Ferris, they were about the
whole show. When a pitcher holds
a team for fifteen inings without a
run there is very little to be said
except that he is the whole cheese
with eight other assistants dangling
about him.
