That Congressman is the Hon. Claude Kitchin. who will succeed Mr. Un derwood as chairman of the great House Ways and Means Committee, if the Democrats control the next Congress and if Mr. Kitchin is elect ed to succeed himself in this fall's election. . We hardly think there is any doubt that the Democrats of the Second District will nominate and tlect Representative Kitchin. It is announced from Washington that Mr. Kitchin, anticipating his re election, already has secured enough promises from Democratic Cong ressmen to assure him of the pow erful place to be made vacant in the House by Mr. Underwood's eleva tion to the Senate. Mr. Kitchin it entitled to that by the rules of sen iority in service in the Hjuse, and the pledges which he has secured in advance make it certain that he is to be the most conspicuous member of the next House, if it ia to be Democratic, Doubtless, that will help Mr. Kitchin to secure a re-nomination il ti.eie is to be any opposition of a serious nature in his district. iht chance for the district and the State to Kin more honor is too good to oe m;s?.ed by sending a new man to take the place of an experienced Representative like Mr. Kitcnin. His recent opposition to President Wilson on the tolls matter will noi affect his position in the next House. That did not prevent President Wil son from desiring the election of Underwood as Senator and it can not be used to affect the eligibility of Mr. Kitchin. it is a good thing ior iNortn Caro lina to keep able men in Congre. kng enough for them to be rankeu as statesmen and recognized as su h by being placed in such an eminent position as that which Mr. Under wood is to leave open for Mr. Wilmington Star. coull reach him as the result of a rations Mr. Editor.

On Tuesday evening, April the fourteenth, a silver tea was given by the Junior Auxiliary of the Epis copal church, at the residence of Mr. G. Hoffman. Although the night was inclement, upwards of sixty guests were usher ed by Mrs. Hoffman and Mrs. J. E. Bowers into the spacious brilliantb lighted hall. At the left of the door as one en tered appeared a large silver saber, presided over by Miss Lena Smith and Mrs. R. I. Jones, upon which was received the offering of each guest. This offering consisted of a sum of money, equivalent in cents to the age of the donor. At the right was the punch bowl from which Miss Mattie J osey, as sisted by Mr. Shields Alexander, served a delicious beverage. At the rear of the hall, Miss Maude Leggett graciously poured tea and dispensed sandwiches; whilt cream and cake were served in the established fame as an amateur act or, while his team-mate, that of Mrs. J. B. Edwards, Lige's other half, was carried out with the skill of a professional. This black face team was the life of the show. Their every appearance before the foot lights brought forth storms of ap plause. Harry Lee McDowell as Frank Fleming, a scapegrace, was often the recipient of hisses from the audi ence, so real and true-to-life did he piny the part of Relentless Rudolph.

C Lnermon as Mrs i)r-on, who was ever faithful to r daughter, Diana, some times ovtr the protest or her husband Col. J. Burton, was perfectly at ease before a home audience. Mrs. Livermon's lines were spoken with such clearness and emphasis that the entire audience was as one in pro claiming her as an artist. Mr. L. L. Cherry, though a bit lmid in his maiden appearance, as an actor which occasioned his wax doll talk in one or two of love-mak ing scenes on the whole was very good. Mr. L. H.
