Chief Bowen is feeling happy over
his new hotel—soon to be erected.
It is to have cells and a waiting room
for the accommodation of his “hobo”
friends.
Couldn't we increase the atten
dance ot the protracted meeting,
heW by Rev. C. L. Read at the
Methodi.st church? Lets try it. If
everyone will say, ‘‘I’m going” and
does go, we will certainly do it.
The people of Franklin county,
always wise and conseryative and
«ver ready to lend their aid for the
best interests of the State and the
Democratic party have made a most
«xuellent selection of a candidate
for the Senate in the person of that
distinguished gentleman, Mr. R. B.
White, who was with Wilson county’s
gifted eon, Hon. John E. woodard
nominated last Friday at ^^ashville
to represent the Seventh Senatorial
-^strict in the next General Assem
bly. Nash fiounty heartily endorsed
the selection of Fcanklin and wilson
a,nd will do her full duty towards
making their election sure,
Wilson county’s senator needs no
introduction to the people of the
three counties eompoaing theSeventh
Senatorial District, having for many
yeai-s bf>eu one of the able leaders
ia all that was for the welfai*e of our
people; an ever ready advocate of
the princinleB of white supremacy
and good government.
For the benefit of our readers who
have Hot the pleasure of knowing
Jlr. White, would say that he is a
native of Wake county and for the
past eight years has resided at
Franklinton, N.C. He is 30 years
old; a son of Rev. J. M. white
» graduate of Wake Forest College.'
and for thriee years was principal of
the High School at Franklinton. He
has been threw times elected mayor
of Franklinton and in 1899 was
chosen Superintendent of Public
Schools of Franklin county and has
filled this position with marked
success since that time. Se much
80, that during the past summer in
the educational campaign inaugu
rated by Gov. Aycock, Dr. Mclver
and State Superintendent Joyner,
he was one of the speakers selected
to help in this work, and in the
course of it made addresses over the
State, principally in the western
part, Under his administration as
fiuperintendent of the public schools
of Franklin county he has attained a
noteworthy degree of excellence in
att«ndance, proficiency, and econo
my of administration. He is and
has always been a staunch Democrat
true always to the aims ai.d princi
ples of the party.
In his acceptance of the nomina
tion he plainly showed that while
young iu years, he was old in expe
rience in matters that affect the
people and their rigiits.
we can assure our readers that a
vote cast in the coming election tor
R. B. white and Jno. Woodard m^ans
continued good government in North
Carolina.
The Senatorial Convention for the
Seventh Senatorial District was held
in Nashville on Friday October the
3rd, In the absence of Chairman
B, H. Bunn the convention was
called to order by Editor J. A.
Thomas of the Franklin Times. Mr,
E, B. Grantham, of Nashville, was
elected Chairman, M, W. Lincke, of
Nashyille, and Theo. B. Winstead,
of Elm City, secretaries.
A report from C. H. Harris, secre-
lary of the Democratic Canvassing
Board, of Wilson county was pre
sented by Dr. J. T. Graves. The re
port showed that at the Primary
election held in Wilson county Dr.
Graves received 216 votes and Hon.
Jno. E. Woodard 6. Dr. Graves, ty
rea.'son of this vote claimed that he
was the choice of the people of Wil
son, while really Mr. Woodard’s
nomination, sc far as Wilson county
was ct>nrerned was assured before
the Primary was held, as the County
Convention had already instructed
the delegates for Mr. Woodard, and
at the Primary his name was not
before the people for the reason
above stated. The convention heard
Dr. Graves for a few minutes. The
Chairman declared nominations for
the Senate in order, whereupon Mr.
Thoinjis, of Franklin arose and in n
few well chosen words nominated
Mr. R. B. Whiio, of Franklin. Mr.
Geo. W. Connor in a most eloquent
manner nomin;ited Hon. Jno. E.
Woodard. The convention was here
addressed at lengtii by Dr. Graves.
Upon his conclusion Mr. G. N. Bis-
aett, of Nash, desired upon tlie part
of Nash county to endorse the nom
ination of Messrs. White and Wood-
ard, and made motion v.hich was
carried, that their nominations be
made and declared unanimous,
Mr. White and Mr. Woodard, both
in acceptir." the nomination made
ringing speeches, pledging them
selves to the pure principles of
Democracy, and thesr support of all
measures for the upbuilding of the
State and her institutions.
The next business before the con
vention was tlie election of the
Senatorial Esecuti^e Committee. The
following ware elected: T. B. Win
stead, of Wilson countj*; J. A.
Thomas, of Franklin, andR. A. P.
Cooley, of Xash.
T. B. Winstead was elected chair
man and given the privilege to name
the secretary hereafter.
With such distinguished gentle
men as Messrs. Woodard and White
to represent them, the Seventh Sen
atorial District entertain no fears
but the best interests of her people
will be guarded with zealous care.
Thecampaisrn will, wo know, be
vigorous and efFectiyp. Let Wilson
county do her full duty, and with
Nash and Franklin falling into line,
the election of these gentlemen with
the others of the Democratic ticket
or excused on th^ ground that ‘‘there
is money in it for us.” Principles
of right and manhood said he, are
higher considerations than “jioney
or markets.”
As to State affairs, he thought
that a party which was worthy of the
confidence of the people and was
their deliverance from trouble and
darkness such as enveloped the State
Repubilcan and Fusion rule, might
certainly be trusted in the days of
quiet and peace which its policies
and performed pledges have made
possible.
His ridicule of the Republicans
headed by Senator Pritchard for
trying to take advantage of the
beneficent influences of the amend
ment and at the same time not
declaring themselves to stand by it
and accept it a finality was indeed
good. The speaker thought tlie Re
publicans are rather late learning
that the amendment was a good
thing for they fought its adoption
with their whole power.
Mr. Kitchin impresses us as a forci
ble speaker, a true man and worthy
statesman; and surely made friends
and suppoi ters here.
We are indebted to our kind friond
Mr. R. T. Bai'iihill for the above
article.

Had a Ten Penriy Nail flhrough His
Hand.
While opening a box, J. o. Mount,
of Three Mile Bay, N. Y., ran a ten
penny nail through the fleshy part of
his hand. “I thought at once of all
the pai" and soreness this would
cause me,'’ he says, ‘and immediate
ly applied chamberlain’s Pain Balm
and occasionally afterwards. To
my surprise it removed all pain and
soreness and the injured parts were

HON. CLAUDE KITCHIX.
On last Saturday evening a larjre
number of citizens at this and ad
joining townships availed them
selves of the opportunity to hear a
fair, able, strong and lucid presen
tation of Democratic principles, and
of the opposition the Democratic
party on the absorbingly interesting
and vital issues before the people in
this campaign, by our eloquent and
able- young congressman from the
second district, Hon. Claude Kitchin
of Halifax county, who was very
fittingly introduced to his hearers
by Mr. Geo. A. Connor, Chairman
our Democratic Ex. Com.
True to his reputation, Mr. Kitch
in spared not the Republican party,
nor its allies by whatever name
known in his denunciation of pres
ent policies and tendencies as
championed by that party,' and
showed that for its broken promise
to the people it deserved naught but
their righteous indignation.
In a most masterly manner did he
arraign the Republican party for
giving encouragement, care and
protection to those monster evils of
today, renown as “trusts and mon
opolies,” and in return for all this,
for receiving from these self-same
oppressors of the people ‘>ncour-
agement, care and protection” in the
nature and substance of “campaign
boodle and corruption fund.” He
showed that although President Mc
Kinley had denounced them in his
natui-al address, and in four differ
ent messages to Congress, that
naught had been undertaken and
accomplished to check their at
tempted and onward march to
enslave and oppress mankind and
that more trusts had been formed
since McKinley’s first inauguraiion
than in the whole history of the
country previous thereto. The
trusts declared, rep-ulate the prices
of their products with the assistance
of a Republican protective tariff to
the advantage of the foreigner and
to the great disadvantage and injus-
