JOHN A. MOELL Proprietor. 7 -i HOME FIRST: ABROAD NEXT. S I OO Per Year in Advance Vol XXIV ROXBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, Wedsday Evening, September 4 1907. No 0fe KITCHIN FOR GO VERNOR. "The Unterrified and Undefiled with One Acclaim Yell, "Not this Man But Bill Kitchin''. From Ccr. of News and Obeerver. To the Editor; The people of Cleveland, the county of my resi dence and adoption, have no char ges to prefer against Hon. Locke Craig, of the West, nor Hon.. Ash ley Home, of the East. We concede their ability, their party loyalty and intrinsic merit. Your writer is not vested with power to exalt a mortal to the skies 1 and still prays deliverance from a spirit that would drag an angel down. While we expect to cheerfully support the nominee, we must make a choice among three good men; and in the language, or slan guage of the present, there are others. Some rush into the breach with the cry for a chosen candidate that he has been loyal in season and out of season and never held an office with emoluments thereof, Could a man throw a rock in the Democratic party in North Caro lina and not hit an available man who has never een honored? For twenty-nine years your Un cle, who guides this, good gray goose quill, has been on the firing line, voting early and often, writ ing and speaking Tor the party that the illustrious Vance . declared im mortal, and no office, no hope of office, and better yet, no desire for any place or plum of honor of em olument. And he sees among the cohorts of this grand aggregation, of militant Democrats in North Carolina, thou sands of men much abler, much better equipped and fully as patri otic as himself, who will continue to heed the call of their country as the voice of God, willing to stand in the rifle trenches in time of war and exercise the rights of a yoe man under the benificent sway of rooding peace In Hardware t Flues! Best Material, $ liive us your oraer ana it I shall have prompt and careful . I attention, i Yours for flues LONG , BRADS H ER & CO Then as to location, it matters not whether a man hails from East West or South. The accident of birth or residence is foreign to consideration All to be considered is the master of loyalty, ability and availability. But if anybody wants to consider location let us consider the claims of 'W. W, Kitchin. When the blighting effects of Fu sion rule wrought humiliation in the stricken East, did it not take men of heroric mould to redeem our fair Commonwealth and were not the Kitchin family, father and -sons'! heroes in the struggle? With an in solent and untutored race in pow er, who struck more valorous blows tnan W. W, Kitchin? When did his State ever call in vain? While others halted between two opinions he has rung clear on all questions and like Saul, son of Kish, he tow ered among his- fellows, and his call to the hosts of Democracy has been inspiring as a bugle blast of highland Rhoderic Dhu to his bon netted clans. Therefore, the rich, naked, the toil-hardened and sun-browned; yea, the unterrified and undefiled, with one acclaim yell; "Not this nun, but Bill Kitchin!" Political cliques and court house rings don't swerve our crowd, for like men like leader. Our leader and favorite stands among men as one who cannot be awed by great or mighty corpora tions and he stands unsulled by the heelers and minions of graft and their crafty machinations. All the men in the King's army cannot frighten him and all the money in the King's exchequer cannot buy him. As to his being in Congress ten years, that will the better equip him for the important duties of the gubernatorial office. Two great Governors we have had, one of whom is incumbent. His greatness consists largely in his moving eloquence, his inflex ible firmness, and his unquailing courage. When his term of office closes, Anything In Builders Material Flues Perfect Fitting we need, as his successor, one who J can, consummate the greot prob-! lems now pending, and' can meet those the exigencies of the times may'evolve. : ' His successor could be patriotic and not have courage, and he could be brave as Julius Ceasas, patriot ic as the sweet singer of captive Is real and oet lack statesmanship. In, the person of His Excellency, Robert Broadnax Glenn; you be hold this grand combination, and in the man on whom shall fall his descending mantle you behold his other self in courage, eloquence and statesmanship W. W. Kitchin is the man. AH he has to do is let Polkville N. C, know how many are neces sary to elect. As goes Polkville, so gees North Carolina, and it certainly swings the rest of Cleveland county into line. Some day when "Bill Kitchin" as our electors call him, feels like talking to friends and supporters in whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning, let him come over arid sound the loud timbered o'er his patriotic heart, and when he sees his militant hosts, of friend "Twill be worth ten years of peaceful life. One glance at their array. " . . M. L. WHITE. Lattimore, N. C, Aug. 27, 1907. SCANDAL FACES A DEPARTMENT. Three Desks Unused, Are Kept to Give Impression of Great Rush of Business Much Available Space May Save Thousands, Wahington, Aug 30. Because the experts appointed by Secretary of the Interior Garfield to investi gate the business methods in his department drifted into thepension office and found 300 vacant desks that were kept there presumably to give the impression of , there being a great rush of business in the of fice, the department now faces the certainty of one of the greatest up- heavals ever known in Washing ton's governmental history. According to the estimates of the goverment and outside experts the reform' in the personnel and busi ness methods of the department will save the goverment more than $200,000 per annum. By changes that will be made in the methods of tve pension offic alone it is claimed, $150,000 will be saved annually. Also the $8,- UUU wnicn tne goverment now pavs for rental of a building for the patent office models will be saved because these models willhe stored in the pension office building. So much available space was found in the pension office that, inaddition to all this, one of the biggest bureaus of the department will be moved into the structure occupied by the pension office.
