Mr. Editor: if you will ailow me space in your columns to say a word In behalf of Pam lico County my old native home which Is dear to me. There are ninety seven county in North Carolina and Pamlico county is one nf them. It Is said that she hs the richest soil of any county in North Carolina. She has several grow ing little towns. She has fifteen or eighteen saw mills. She has a guano fac tory. She has a telephone at almost ev ery man's door. She has first class transportation by both sail and steam boats; and prospects of a railroad at some time but the prospects look dim now. The farmers of Pamlico county have been bountifully blessed for the last three or four years with good crops and good prices and they are In gocd shape, They have sixteen or seventeen hundred voters, but politics are uncertain as the wind that blows H W DOWDY TAKES LESS WEARS LONGER DeLaneey Gregory of Fort Plain, N , To Longman & Martinez, Paint Makers, N.Y.

CLAUD KITCHEN'S GREAT SPEECH. treat DaauM rr the Coagresrmaas Speech la Congress Agstaat Teddy. The following coaoernlag a wall known Congressman from this State may be of Interest to oar readers: Washington, Aag a. Although there have as yet bean but few con fare ace of great Importance at the headquarters of the Democratic congressional committee here, work la the abipplag aad mailing bureau has begun in earnest, and man women are busy filling franked envelop a with copies of speeches made In congress lhat are In giesl demand. Although directed against .the admin Istratlon, and in many Instances mora especra ly againsi irie posiomce uepais ment, the government has no other choice than to distribute t he free om cost. A congreatloBal frank demands official recognition, whether it be the frank of a Hepnbllcan leader, or of aa obscure member of the minority. 1 he speech In greatest demand is the one delivered at the last session by Con gressman Kltchin, of Norlh Carolina lampooning President Roosevelt, attack ing his personality and holding him up to the scrutiny for bis criticisms of for mer presidents in one of his books. Chairman Cc whsrd, of the com minion says that the demand fortba speech alone, coming In the main from chair men of Democra'ic district committees aggregates 1,500 copies. The government printing office Is belog kept busy dsy and night to supply the demsnd. Today six hundred bags of speeches were mala! from head quarters, most of them stuffed with Eitchin speeches. They weigh more than two tons and Cncle Sam will see to it that they are distributed In accor dance with the wishes of the Democratic managers, even though the result should he the defeat of PretiJent Kooseielt.

"FROM LIMA" The Cove base ball team seem to bo a little sore because of the defeat they re ceived at Lima July 26 and claims their defeat was due to a pitcher from Vance boro who plsyed with Lima end they call attention to the fact that both teams prom Ised not to play any outsiders but Cove seemed to have lost sight of this promise for when they came they brought with them three players from Asbury team and played them too. It seems a little funny that Cove did not mention this fact also. Lima had a pitcher from Vanceboro who pitched part of tho game. Cove had a pitcher, catcher and a fielder from Asbuiy team. Now boys what are yon kicking for, you got licked tls true just as you did four times out of the six gsmes you have played with Lima. We think this sufficient proof to con vince you and all that It was not tba Vanceboro pitcher that defeated yon but Lima's good playing.
