KITCHIN EXPECTS TO
GET WELL AGAIN SOON
t'oiigressinan Claude Kitchin minor
ity leader in the lower house of Con
gress, expects to get well a. a result
ot the treatment lie is receiving 111 ,1
hospital in Albany, V V., accrding to
an interview in the Kmckerhockei
published 111 that ciu. 'l'lu* in
tervievi' with the th.;tiitgui.:hed N'oith
Carolinian follows:
"I am ging lo get well. M> treat
ment 111 Albany lias, I believe, .started
me on the road to recovery," Kepresen
tatixe Claude Kitchin, Deuiocratir
leailei-ill tin' house, leader in draft
ng the principal war tax measures,
and one of the biggest Democrats ir
national politics, declared yesterdav.l
when, propped up on pillows, he wa?
iutei vit'vved in his room at the honn ■
opathie hospital.
Representative Kitchin, who undei
wont an operation at the homeopath
ctie hospital for a serious ailmei\' ol
the nnse last week, declared he Inn
sought speciiilj.sts 111 every section ol
the country betVti-e being treated lb
.1. Iviinery Itowbiig of AlVmy, hi't
week. Previous to Mr. Dowlin's opei
ation Mr. Kitchin said he had faile.!
to get relief.
Advised by Dr. Howling, who wen'
to Washington several months ago t.
examine the Democratic leader, •». r*> ;
turn to his"home in North Carotin
and take a eomplele- r«■ t, Mr KiLclui;
said when lie did return home lie wa
besojgoil on all sides for an explana
tion of his and on various tax i|u
lions, which jure now uppermost on
l lie congressional calendar.
"I vsas calletl nu to make explana
tions ,nf my stand ami to go over va
riotis (|iiestrous iu the present tux lull
before my constituents," Mr. Kitchin
saitl. "I found the required rest un
possible. ThiU is why I came to AI
bany for the operation. I am feeling
fine, but it probably will* he several
months before I wil livgain my full
strengt Ii '
Mr. Kitchin related «ome .of his
strenous experience during the war
when, as chairman of the tax com
mittee of the House, lie wrote vir
tually every tax law passed by Con
gross to help meet the cost of the war,
a vvel las the laws which authorised
and directed the issuing of the liberty
loans.- These'efforts continually under
mined hi shoalth and eventually neces
sitated the operation iu Albany last
week.
_. did not know at tin'' time I un
dertook the work of tlrftfling the gov
ei nincnt's tax laws to raise money to
pay for the war," the Congress-nun
saitl, "that every man who Imd pre
viously tried to tlo that very thing in
Congress had Zither suffered a break
down nr had died Within two years. I
think my ability to forget work ant
lo get soundly to sleep has saved me,'
'Khn .preiityt tax revision discussion
in Congress js over a draft which Rep
re.-entiitive made at the re
tpie .t of Bepuhlican leinlers in tilt
house. It was one of Ins last iin
pint;ilit (Ifnits before giving up work
because of ill health. -h
For a long time ijl'ter the tafc luvc
vvbicli Mr. Kitt Inn bail ilraftod ami
reconiiiiended as cliairman of the t iv
coiniiiittee had been passed, the Dem
ocratic leader was continually undei
fire by the pros ,sof the north for tic
liebratcly releasing the south from
taxation and .shifting tlie burden Ii
the north.
"As a matter of fact I established
a precedent in the drafting of tlio.-v
bills," Mr. Kitclun saitl. "I saw that
despite the Democratic majority 11
the house in the early part of tin
war, Republicans were represented on
the committee in eijuitl 'numbers us
Democrats, north as well as south..
"When I submitted the bill, it had
the approval of every Republican ir
the house antl of every northern lop
lesentative. It was, as a matter id
fact, the first war tax bill which real
ly affmited~Uie_jiuui.. who was making
money out. of the war and 'made hin
pay hisappro|iriate share of the bur

Thoughtlessness
And Its Results
Are we a thoughtless people?
It is not ;so easy to answer this
question because our actions would
seem indicate that 1 we are more
careless than thoughtless. We lose
heavily as a people becau-ie we fail to
take more thought of the small things
of life. We could see m June and July
thousands of barrels of Irish Potatoes
lyin gat railroad stations to be ship
ped to all parts of the country. One
third of these potatoes went to tlx
railroads for the hauling. It mean'
that a farmer selling those p.»t i!oe
lost a profit of MM aiv, ' M per rent
on them . Hvery busim ss man knows
that that is an unusually lii'ge protr
to lose. It may lie thai thai was 'he
only chance to market those t.it >es
Hut we see potatoes coming Inn now
from the states in the far' North and
selling for tin cents a peck. ° Ila Nor
thorn fanners ate oui pot does in
July at a high pi ice because they had
to pay an enormous freight rate and
we a'e eating his potatoes n October
at a high price because we have to ,ay
an enormous freight rate.

NIGHT IN HONOU U"
PLEASING SI'IiPPISK
(Richmond Times-Dispatch i
The crowd which filled the Academv
last night to see the first perforjntMO
in Richmond of "A Night in llonolu'u"
was treated to a'big surprise. Many
were expecting something on the ,or
der of a poor "Bird of Paradise," oi
even the ever-reinembered and terrible
"Hawaiian Butterfly"—and instea I, a
most, entertaining play was unfolded.
"A Night in Honolulu," is nine
tenths comedy—unci clover stuir, too—
anil tht' rest good, rough melodrama,
with a vilianess instead of the hark
neyetl male of the species. It st'.irts
nil' with a laugh, and few are moirenfs
from then to the final curtain that one
isn't either highly amused at some
thintfcnr entertained hy the except ion
ul singing anil ilancing. Fro mthis,
don't imagine that the piece is a mil
meal comedy, for the two dunces and
the native music are only - incidental.
However, ther pis just the right n
mount, which means thai whunevoi
tilings begin In either get a hit dull
or speed up to a climax, a-, the ca e
may he, we hear some melodni Hit
waiiun music.
Of course the pint revolves about ;
pintty dancer, supposedly a native
whn is ihurinirig wilh her broken Kng
lish and 'native speeches. I'na Car
penter, a.s "Kalama," the dancing till
is quilt* adorable to look at, to listen
to and' to watch when she dance.-.,
which is surely a combination. She
Jia,vj.t .nice sense of comedy too, and
her winsome way of saying some pick
ed up phrase always brings a laugh.
Sharing honors as central figure i
the play is one Klmer Kllsworth, f
youthful comedian, who will probably
do a lot nW»ro in the theatrical field
if he keeps o nut the. pace lie is gning
now. Of all difficult parts to handU
naluijilly that of a callow youth who
i.s bubbling over with life an
in everybody'* way is one of the worst
Ami young KlUworth manages to simp
ly he that callow youth to the lettei.
I and makes a laugh whenever he sets
foot upon the stage.
The other members of the companv
till tjieir respective eof£~urce ptabl y
though none euual the work of Miss
Carpenter and Mr. Kllsworth. A
troupe of native Hawaiian* had their
turn at ontei'tuining, as well as being
heard oIT s.tage f ml by the enthusiastic
reception it would seem that they> were
the best heard here in some,tinie.
—One Hilly Joseph, who.se name does ' 1
n't sound Hawaiian, but who both
looked ami plUyed Ilk 6 it natlwr gave
us a steel guitar solo which ran on in
to many numbers, with the crowd still
clamoring for more. The others also
took their turn.with agreeable result;
and Mis sCarpenter dances a Hulu
However, her snake dance in the first
'act was the most striking and artistic
of the two, " *
"A Night in Honolulu" you see, is a
highly satisfactory production. Un
heralded, it outcalsses many of OU»*
much-talked of plays and musical -on
edies, which we looked forward to with
anticipation and were doomed to view
with disappointment. It should fllljthe
theatre for its remaining thren per
formance*. D. 11. 'J.

There wil Ibe a meeting of the Par
ent Teacher's Association and Mothers
Club ut the Graded School Auditor
ium for the purpose of re-organizing
and outlining the work for ensuing
year. It is very important that ail
parents who can possibly join this
organization do so for its object is
the betterment of school and giv
ing the teachers the support that they
need in order that they give he c+»il
dren the best that is in them. Tbnre
has l>een no Parent-Teacher's Assdcto
tion in our school for several years
until last year and it is remarkable
to feel the change in the spirit ot the
town toward the school as a result of
tlui work that was done and the spir
it of cooperatio nthat existed between
the parents and teachers last year
There are questions that are arising
all the time in coiinecth>n with a schtiot
that no particular oiu* eoems to have
anything to do with but they c*n be
taken before the Association aifci be ->
adjusted properly, year, owing
to the shortagu of school funds the
class of 1921 would not have been able
to graduate had not some of the nem
be is of the Association and the
Mother's Club going out and collecting
the futijls to pay the teachers for two
weeks that they might complete* th»
work .satisfactory to the school laws
of the State. This is only one .specific
instance but it shows the importance
df the work that is accomplished by
such an Association and should make
all parents feel that it is their dut>
to their children and to their town
that they join and take an interest in
it after they join.
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at four o'clock Wednesday
afternoon at the Graded School Audi
torium.
KCLIPSE OF TIIK MOON
On Sunday night many of our peo
ple were surprised to see Instead of a
full moon a moon of crescent shape.
'This new moon appealed in the west
where new moons tyvei ap|>ear. Grad
ually the crescent tilled out and after
a short time the moon regained its
wonted shape. A search of the alma
nac proved that Sunday was the date
set for an eclipse of the moon. This
easily solved the mystery of the new
moon in the western heavens.
