IT WILL BE KITCHIN.

The COMMONWEALTH does not wish
to appear too sanguine, out We are free
to say that We believe Mr.. Claude Kit
chin's chances for tho nomination to
Congress are growing stronger every
day.
The people throughout the district
are becoming more and more acquaint-
ed with him through those who have
known him intimately, and more and
more bis worth and merit are becoming
known and the more the people learn
of bis ability the more favorably they
are impressed with him.
-Unquestlonly, he is one of the strong
est and ablest men OF his age in North
Carolina, and those who support him
may rest assured that if he is nomina-
ted and elected they will have no cause
to regret it.
Mr.. Kitchin has been a careful stu
dent OF matters political, both State
and National, since his very boyhood !:
and he Is peculiarly fitted as a young
man to take up the work that lies
before him. He is physically equal to
any task that may await him. Intel
lectually he has few, if any, superiors,
and he is energetic to the very extent
OF his capacity.
All these things are to be considered
in connection with his brilliant record
as q campaigner for the past few years,
and IN the light of these facts be will
make an ideal representatlve-thev very
one the people of the Second district
need-and we believe he will receive
the nomination and will be elected.

UPLAND RICE.

Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy. botan'st in
the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture, has recently sent out a
circular letter On the cultivation of
upland rice. He thinks that farmers
of Eastern Carolina would do we'll to
plant small crops of it. Here are some
OF his observations
Every recent reports from Ala
bama claim a yield of 70 bushels
rough rice per acre and two TONS of
straw. The present market price for
upland rice, in chaff, is IS cents per
bushel. The crop Is as saleable as cot
ton. The United States imports more
than half the rice it consumes, al
though there Is duty of cents per
pound. The straw, when we'll cured,
is nearly as good as baled timothy for
horses and mules.
Rice, with shells removed, but not
polished, is strong food and tar more
wholesome than corn meal for inhab-
itants Of warm climate. As fatten-
Ing food for fowls and pigs, rice has no
equal. There are now on the market
several hand and power machines for
removing the shell or husk from rice.
These cost from $50 to 5000. The
larger sizes are suitable for grist mills,
the smaller for farm use.
For uplands the White Carolina seed
Is best. It should be soaked TWENTY
four hours before planting and then
be dropped in freshly made drills
twenty inches apart and covered two
inches deep. Cultivate with a shal.
low scrape only hand wedding will be
necessary. The crop must be kept as
clean as cotton. Cut the crop as soon
as the seed is in the tough dough
stage. Tie in bundles and shock az
wheat. Thresh from shock as soon as
the straw is completely cured. The
grain should be aired once in the sun.
shine before being put in bins to pre-.
vent heating. One bushel of rough
rice or paddy will SOW one acre. TIE
seed will cost about $1.OO per bushel
1t can be bought by any commission
merchant in Wilmington, N. c."

The GREAT FLOODS IN TEXAS.

WACO, Tex, April 2S.-The flood sit
uation remains practically unchanged
from last night. Conditions could
hardly be worse. Every available
wagon, dray and float was brought into
use and the entire night was spent in
moving hundreds of families out of
the submerged district. There are no
new names added to the list of fatal.
ties today, but reports OF persons miss
Ing and who were last seen in the
overlooked section are numerous. A
call for aid sig ned by the mayor and
many prominent citizens, has been
sent out. and a mass meeting of the
citizens of Waco will be held Monday
night to devise means to aid the suffer.
ing and those in need. The local
weather bureau gives the rainfall for
the past twenty-four hours as As, the
very heaviest on record. Speciala
from Houston say:
"Not since 1852 has this city and
vicinity been visited by such a down.
pour of rain as fell here during the
past two days. The Salido river broke
all previous records and destroyed the
fine iron wagon bridge at this place.
The large steel bridge at Little river.
on the main line of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, is wrecked. The Leon
river is out of its banks and the elec-
trio plant is flooded, the city being in
total darkness.
A dispatch from Dallas SAYS: "The
floods show no sign of receding. On
the contrary, most of the Texas rivers
are rising. A nine foot rise is sweep
ing down from the headwaters of the
Trinity. This will cause a big over.

exceed $3.50, 900 in Waco. The tele-

one bali of the State. Railroad move

MR.. AYCOCK'S CANVASS.

Wherever Mr.. G. B. Aycock, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, has
spoken be has inspired his Audiences
with hopes for better government in
North Carolina and has strengthened
the already set purpose to carry the
Amendment.
Mr.. Aycock recently spoke in Char
lotte, and the Charlotte Observer,
one of the ablest papers hot
only in the State, but in the
South, says very pleasant and compli-
mentary things about Mr.. Aycock's
speech. Among other things it says:
"But the best that could be written
of this speech is that 1t was elevatlng,
uplifting in its character. 1t was pitched
upon a high key and one felt him
self better North Carolinian and a
better citizen for having heard it. Too
much O! our political speaking in North
Carolina in the past has tended to the
lowering OF the public mind. We are
not speaking OF the vulgarism which
has attended it, but of the fact that 1t
was appealed to the smallness, the mar
rowness, the base in men. Here comes
man who appeals to what is lofty and
noble in the human heart-to the in
tellectual, the humane, the generous,
IN his audience. His coming marks
an epoch-he inspires higher thoughts.
creates better ideals. He deals with
the people in perfect candor, withhold
ing nothing, perverting nothing. He
says frankly that the purpose OF the
proposed amendment is to disfranchise
the ignorant negro without disfranchis
ing the ignorant white man, and, with
equal frankness, that after 1908 the
white boy now under thirteen years o.
age who cannot read ard write will be
disfranchised. Upon this statement
he bases his strongest argument in be-
half of its adoption, and pledges hi
administration to its utmost effort te
provide such public schools as Will en-
able every child to acquire such knowl
e.ge as is necessary to qualify him t.
become voter when the voting age il
| reached. The manner in which hi
plea for and pledge OF better education
al advantages are received is proof tina
the people of North Carolina are read
lily responsive to appeals to their better
selves that for their State they arr
ambitious of better things.
"This man will win upon the PEG
pie from this day to the first Thursda!
inAugust and they will be proud to cleo
him their governor and proud to hav'
him for their Governor. He is worth,
of the best they haye to give and tn
people cannot but be bette. for hayin
such men In the public service"
