Hems of Merest Reported From The County Seat. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. We print elsewhere in this issue of the Record, a communication from Mr. Nimocks in behalf of Judge Clark for the U. S. Senate. Judge Clark has many warm friends and admirers in Warren county. Our people recognize his ability and fit ness and are cognizant of his great services to the State, and have re peatedly voted for him for the Su preme Court, the Chief-Justiceship of which he adorns, and many of his greatest admirers believe he can host serve the people by remaining a member of the Supreme Court. There aie other candidates for the Senate who are worthy of that high position, but we believe that the best interests of the State will be served by sending Governor Kitchin to the Senate. We believe that of all the candidates he will make us the ablest and most effective repre sentative in the Senate. From his youth, Gover.i-n Kitchin lias fought the battles of Democra cy, and has kept the faith. In his youth he edited a Democratic news paper in our sister county, Halifax. In his early manhood he was the Chairman of the Democratic party in the county of Person. He redeem ed the Fifth District for Democracy and for twelve years represented it in Congress with signal ability. In the great Surf rage Amendment cam paign he made a brilliant canvass of a large part of the State. It fell to j liis lot to defend this 'great measure in the Congress of the United States, ' and be did it with such ability and ; success that the State Executive' Comirill.t"1 caused f-iohfv fivMlii-ms-I and copies of his speech to be circu lated throughout the State as a campaign document. His devotion to the Demoerrtic faith, his fidelity to the pledges of the Party, and his courage and abil ity in fighting bounties, subsidies and special privilege have given him a high stand and a commanding in iluence in the councils of the party in State and Nation. For years he was a member ef the Congressional Campaign Committee, and he has been a leader in shaping those principles and policies of the party which are about to bear the rich fruitage of a Democratic Presi dent. For nearly three years his admin istration as Governor has been so able and effective that the State is enjoying its greatest era of prosper ity and progress in Agriculture, in public health, in good roads and drainage, in manufacture and in every line of material development and social uplift. He is wise in council and formid able in debate. He is a foe to in direction and deception and a fear less champion of equal and exact justice to all and special privilege to none. Should he be sent to the Sen ate, he will, on account of his long service in Congress and his great prestige, at once become a Naiional figure and occupy a commanding position in the councils of the Demo cratic party with which he is in per . feet harmony. The people demand a clean, in corruptible representative in the United States Senate; a man of ability, a man of backbone, a man whose heart beats in sympathy with the toilers of the land, and yet who is not an extremest, but stands for equal rights for all and who stands against special privilege; a man who will represent the people, rather than what is known as the Interests, and above all a man who realizes that he is the servant of the people who elected him upon a Democratic platform to carry out Democratic principles. We believe Governor Kitchin measures up to the high standard set by the people, and like the im mortal Vance, his heart-beats will be in unison vith the throbbing heart of the great commonpeople, and his official acts, if elected Sen ator, will express the will of the party, as outlined in the Democratic platform, and therefore we give him our earnest supnort. Warren ton Record, Oct. 27th. Halifax, N. C, Oct. 31. The Ba racca's of the M. E. Sunday school were handsomely entertained on last Wednesday evening at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. H. B. Furgenson by the young ladies of the Philathea class. Nice vocal selections were rendered, after which there was a guessing contest, consisting of twenty-eight questions requiring answers, the subject being, "If a tree could, what tree would?" The contest was somewhat laughable, and required that each contestant put on the thinking cap, and often mudee another for a pointer. Sev eral kept "going" till the end, though many answers were incor rect. Mr. Dinwiddie won the prize by answering seventeen of the ques tions, Mrs. E. L. Travis being sec ond, having answered sixteen. Each Philathea had a mite box which was opened and a nice little sum was realized, which goes toward the purchase of lights for the church. Miss Nell Nelson reported the larg est amount and Stephenson second, with several others close behind. Ice cream and cake was served during the evening which was dis patched with eagerness bv the Ba racca delegation, assisted of course by the fair Philatheas. The president of the Philnthca'c. Miss Nell Nelson, deserves unstinted praise for the work she has been en abled to do with the help and co operation of the c!a3s. The Wednesday Afternoon Club were royally entertained by Mrs. J L. Weller at her home on Cedar Avenue, last week,, quite a number of members and guests enjoying the splendid hospitality of the hostess. The hall and parlor were artistical ly decorated in autumn leaves, scar let sage and yellow chrysantheumans Refreshments were served consist ing of chicken salad, served on rosetts and autumn leaves with Mexican peppers, wafers, pickles and pepper sandwiches, ending with hot chocolate, and wafers on a plate upon which was a miniature pump kin head from whose eyes light came forth. The Hallow'en idea was carried out through the entire afternoon, and of course the pleasure of all was more complete for the reason Mrs. Weller had used much ingenuity in the preperations. Miss Nell Nelson went to Scotland Neck Friday to visit Mrs. Harrell. Mrs. H. W. Gowan and children who have been spending some months in Maine returned home last Friday. ! Mrs. Jas. W. Hayes, of Elm City, has been here several days to see her sister, Mrs. E. L. Travis. George Cooper, of Rocky Mount, spent Sunday here with his sister, Mrs. Chas. H. Hale. J. W.
