Claude Kitchin. the nominee Of
the convention for Congress, is n
young man. n lawyer by profession.
He is native of Halifax county,
having been born there on March
gath. 1869. He is a son Of Capt. W. H.
Kitchn. and a brother of Hon. w
W. Kitchin. the present Congressman
from the Fifth district.
Mr.. Kitchin was educated at Wake
Forest College, from which he grad
uated i'm 1888. Soon after his grad
uation he married Miss Katie Mills.
daughter of Prof. l.. II. Mills. of Wake
Forest. and began the practice of law
with his father at Scotland Neck. He
has never held a public office. though
he has always taken great interest
in politics and has made some notable
campaign speeches.
Asked this morning as to his plans
for the campaign. he said:
II shall not begin my campaign
for election to Congress until after the
August election. Until then ! shall
have but one thought in any cam
vass | shall make-the Amendment.
Of course | shall continue my cam
vass for that, going wherever the
State committee may see fit to send
me.
after the amendment is adopted
I shall begin my canvass of my own
district"
The opinion is freely expressed on
all sides that the convention made
no mistake when it nominated Mr..
Kitchn. He is very popular. brilliant
and magnetic, and his campaign Of
the district will arouse such enthus-
iasm as will tell greatly for Democ-
racy in the November election.

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Made by an Old Prisoner in Charge
of Detective Clifford.

Thursday evening Hugh Wall, Of
Howard place, was arraigned before
Alderman Howe, charged with abuse
and neglect of his family. He was
found guilty and in default of bail
tive w. F. Clifford was given charge
Of him and had his own troubles in
getting him to the prison. because
while on the way the prisoner sud-
denly made a wild dash for liberty
and was only recaptured after hard
chase.
The odd part of It lies in the fact
that Wall is old and feeble. 1.-THE
weight Of centuries" or rather of a
considerable part Of a century, weighs
on his back and his eyes no longer
possess the lustre Of youth.
The detective, in fact, took compass
sion on his old age. and neglected to
keep as strict a watch as he otherwise
would have done. When he and his
prisoner left the office the old man
limped painfully and complained of
being unable to walk.
At the corner of Washington avenue
Clifford met friend and stopped for
a chat. The prisoner hobbled slowly
on without him and when the sleuth
of Alderman Howe's Office rejoined
him they continued their peaceful
walk.
When they reached the corner of
Vine street and Washington avenue
the prisoner suddenly Strengthened up
and started down the hill like an an
cient stag. The movement so astound-
ed his guard that his first impulse was
to break into a roar of laughter, which
he did. His next move was to dash
after his prisoner and then to take
him to the county Jail.
