Tennessee Veteran Resents Slights Put Upon Confederates in General and Rebukes Ili-Mannered New Yorker North Carolina Veteran Rewards Tenneseaa f or His Act. Richmond, Va., June 2. An in teresting,., not to say sensational, in cident of the re-union became known to a few persons tc-day. According to the story, a promi nent Tennessee veteran, Rush Pearson, figured as the hero of the arrair. According to the story, Pearson and several old soldiers were in a store on Broad street, when a New Yorker, whose name was not learned and, who had evidently been drinking, began making him self disagreeable, cursing, and ap plying even more offensive epithets to Confederate soldiers in general. Finally Pearson, becoming dis gusted, approached the Northern er, and catching him by one ear with one hand, .with the other soundly slapped his jaws and re buked him for his offensive lan guage and gratuitous insults. The man did not resent the slap. The conclusion of the incident was the expression of commenda tion and appreciation of Comrade Pearson's act by a North Carolina veteran, who witness the incident. Approaching the manly" Tennes seeau, the Carolinian drew a gold ring from his own finger and slip ped it on one of Pearson's fingers, with the wish that every tirr: he laoked at it he would reca! the ine'dent.

Asked about the. gubernatorial situation, .'Mr. Kitchin said; "While" I do not shrink from the comes.,. I do f egret that a cam paign of vituperation and misrep resentation seems to be waging against me. - "The Fifth District Combine" slander was orignally published in a republican paper, but was foster ed by others of faltering good will to Democratic nominees. One pa per which supported my opponent for Congress in 1902 recently ss id the machine was for me and again published that the organza tion was against me and was right neither time, for Senator Simmons assured me that he would be impartial in the gubernatorial contest. "The Asheville Gazette-News says it thinks it would not be safe to make me Governor. It questions whether I have done anything in Congress thus implying- '"thar t e thinks I ought to have done what the entire Democracy has been un able to do, over-ride a republican majority. The people I represent have been satisfied with my efforts anddiligence, and what I have ao comnlished for them, and the peo ple of the Aseville district were once grateful to me for the work I did and the argument I made in trying tqprevent the overthrow of their will when Crawford was out rageously unseated. "It says I have ridden into power on the single plea of ceaseless and senseless opposition to the Southern Railway and the Ameri can Tobacco Company and that I ationsto those foreign cor porations for any honors I oeek'at the hands of the people. : might arise touching rail roalj com-: panies. it tmnks, douDtiesSi,, - tnat the opposition of, those co lif ainies to me-is entirely senseable'afthat one who appears for .the r ailroads is entirely safe.

The only part of -my record that has been assailed in the ' con test, so far as I have seen, was my opposition to'the railroad subsidy, and that by only one publication;- I have incured the hostility of trust and railroads because instead 'of acquisessingin their. wrongs, I have have contended for the rights ot the people, preferring always ; the interest of the people to their favor. Let no friend of mine pe disturbed on this account, for my enemis cannot control all those they em ploy, for those who serve the rail roads and trusts realize when they sell their services they do not sell jheir politics, nor do they surren der their love of rigl t or patriot- A Fortunate Texan.

LONG, B R A DS H E R CO I have stood forefiective regula tion of railroads and other ;public service corporations to prevent dis criminations and insure just rates, safety and fair treatment of employ es and the public. I have stood for the Democratic doctrine that pri vate monopolies are intolerable and indefensible,, and have advocated the Inforcement of the criminal laws i against trusts and those who con trol them. Fair business and hon- i i i est methods have no contest with me, for I know of no men more opposed to private monopolies than the great bQdyof merchants, man facturers, bankers and other busi ness men who are so greatly build ing up our State, and who pursue legit'mate methods withont sacri ficing jhe spirit of fair dealing to the demands of avarice. - .i Iir . 4 . i ao.not ciaim tnat tne party! n owes me anything, but I challenge the assertion that any competitor has more faithfully served the Democracy and the State in coun sel, in action, or on the stump.
