THE CHARGES ARE UNTRUE,
is MR. KITCHENS COMMENT
After Refusing Joint Discussion, Mr.. Patter-
son Misrepresents Both my Record and
my Campaign.

Especial to the News and Observer
Roxborc, n. g, Oct 14.-Hon. w. w.
Fitchin spent Sunday and a part OF
Monday here with his family.
Your correspondent approached Mr..
Kitchin and asked him about the
charges being made by his opponent
against him Mr.. Kitchin said in reply
TO the question: Mr.. Patterson, after
refusing by his chairman and to lie
personally a joint discussion is mis-
representing both my record and my
campaign. He said l charged him with
being the candidate of the corporations,
which is not true. A majority of the
corporations of the district and State are
Democratic They cannot compare cor
porations with monopolies. The trusts
and monopoly forces want Mr., Patter
son elected. This is my charge. He said
in Durham that 1 was trying to arouse
strife between employer and employee,
which is utterly untrue.
"When he declined TO meet me- I knew
he would have the opportunity of max
ing charges which are false, and which
can be easily answered, but l did not
expect him to use it.
MANY of the best owners of mills, as
well as operatives throughout the dis
trict, have heard me speak, and not one
has heard a word that carried spirit
to arouse prejudice between the en-
ployer and the employed. l made my
appeals to the conscience and manhood
of my hearers and in every speech l try
to make men better.
Il shall speak again in Durham where
he seems to have misled the people
somewhat, and as heretofore, no man
who hears me will misunderstood my
words.
He has surprised me. however, in
nothing more than in his misrepresep-
tation of my resolution which I intro
duced to prevent sectarian legislation,
the whole intent of which is to en-
phasizo the doctrine of separation of
church and State, which he knew was
| introduced during my first term in Con-
gress, and has been reintroduced in each
succeeding Congress; and yet he mas
said it was for the benefit of Mormon.
ism, which he must know to be untrue. -
Mr.. Kitchin being asked as to his ma
jority, said: Unless a large amount Of
money is used in behalf of my opponent,
| will carry the district by about nine
thousand, but I am confident of six thou
sand majority in spite of all the money
they can spend"

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

There are two hundred and thirty-two
cotton mills in North Carolina.
In these two hundred and thirty-two
mills there are thirty-siX thousand nine
hundred and thirty-oGe looms.
In these two hundred and thirty-two
mills there are also one million six hun
dred and eighty-one thousand six hun
dred and four spindles.
These mills have cost an average OF
twenty dollars per spindle, making a
total of thirty-three million, six hundred
and thirty thousand and eighty dollars
invested in the erection Of cotton mills
in North Carolina.
a tariff duty of 40 per cent. So the
builders of cotton mills in North Caro-
lima have paid to the cotton mill ma
chinerv manufacturers of Rhode Island
and other New England States ten mil
lion eighty-nine thousand six hundred
and twenty-four dollars.
For the same spindle that the New
England manufacturer sells in Europe
at $1.25 he charges the North Carolina
cotton manufacturer $1.75. With the
amount that has been paid to the New
England manufacturer of machinery
for tariff tax alone. the cotton mill mer
in North Carolina could have built
seventy-five additional mills with nine
thousand additional looms and five hun
dred thousand additional spindles, and
furnish employment to many Thousand
additional people.
And yet in the face of these figures
Senator Pritchard, the North Carolina
apostle of Protection, has been making
special appeals for the support of cotton
mill people.

FREE TO EVERYONE.
A Priceless Book Sent Free for the
Asking.

Asking.
"There be books and books" some edi-
flying, others entertaining, and still
other instructive. The average man is so
busily engaged in the labor of money
making that he has little time and less
inclination for books which instruct;
hence when he feels out of sorts, either
he gives no heed to Natures warning,
or he consults a physician, at an expense
which a little knowledge would have en-
abled him to avoid. There is probably
no complaint upon which the public is so
little informed, as hemorrhoids, or piles;
this little book tells all about their ma
ture, cause and cure; it treats of the
different forms of blind, bleeding, itch
ing and protruding piles describes their
symptoms, and points the way to a cure
so simple and inexpensive that anyone
can understand and apply. The impOr-
lance of promptness and thoroughnes5
is vital, for the disease will not cure it
self, and Nature, alone, unaided, will not
accomplish cure. while the cOnse-
quences are Goo painful for detailed
description. You are told how piles orr
ginate the reason for their appearance
usually being that some of the rules of
correct living have been violated and
(what is more to the point how you may
rid yourself of this bane of human exis-
tence All affections of the rectum are
treated in simple plain language, so that
all may understand, ana learn how the
cause may be removed. Many people
suffer from piles, becausb after trying
the numerous lotions, Ointments and
salves that are on the market without
relief they come to the conclusion that
a surgical operation is the only thing
left to try, and rather than submit to the
shock and risk to life of an operation
prefer to suffer on. This little book tells
how this may be avoided, and a cure be
effected without pain, inconvenience OF
detention from business. Write your

THE PEOPLE WANT STRAIGH T
GOODS.

Mr.. Lindsay Patterson made practi-
cally the same speech in 1895, as Palmer
and Buckner elector, that he is making
this year as the Radical candidate for
Congress. Then in all the nine districts
he got about 500 votes. This year he
may poll one ninth as many so-called
Dmocratic votes to be added to solid
Radical vote which Charley Reynolds has
promised to deliver. The people of the
Fifth district like straight goods. When
they want a Republican, they take one
like Tom Settle. who wasn't running
under an alias. Patterson would get
more votes if he called himself by his
true name. People do not like for a
man to insult their intelligence by
preaching Republican doctrines, associat-
ing with Republicans, accepting their
nominations and then proclaiming himself

looking to the ending of the strike will
result successfully. The public has a
deep interest in the matter-an interest
which operators and miners ought to be
compelled to recognize. The people have
all along been willing 10 pay the ten
cents additional for coal demanded by
the miners, or even more, in order to
compensate them for the increased cost
in living. The operators could have
granted the reasonable demands of the
miners. added the price to the consumer,
and nobody would have complained, The
consumer is willing always to pay
enough to justify fair wages.
1t is to be hoped that within a few
days the miners Will be back at work
and the people will be able to buy coal
at reasonable rates. The operators will
have no justification, if the strike is
ended, in charging excessive prices for
their coal. The public will be willing to
pay whatever additional sum is necessary
to increase the wages of the miners, but
the operators cannot obtain popular
sanction if they do not reduce the price
of coal to a reasonable figure.
