The delegates to the so-called con-
vention that endorsed Morrow for
Congress not only violated the call
issued for this county, but the call Of
the Congressional committee. The
delegates were not ratably appointed
among the precincts and the creden-
tials of large number of the partici-
pants we're fraudulent. Not q SEM
blance of right or justice entered into
the primaries and corruption waa
rampant. That such methods will
not be tolerated by the Wilmington
Convention seems certain.

The State Banks.

The quarterly bank statement, show
ing the condition of all the State
banks at the close Of business on
Oct. 13, has been given out by State

interesting document. There were
20S banks operating under charters

profits of the banks. The individual
deposits subject to check amount to
nearly $250,000,000. Since the last
statement twenty-five new banks have
begun business. There are fourteen
more which have been organized, but
which have done no business and are
not included in this report. On May

CRATIC CONGRESsMEN.
REDDOCK OF YAZOO CITY
Sent Over Several States to Try to
Besmirch the Character of Kitchen
OF North Carolina and Carmack OF
Tennessee.

Memphis, Tenn.-The Commercial
Appeal published Sunday photo en-
cravings of original letters and vouch-
ers showing that the administration
at Washington is using government
funds taken out of the United States
treasury for the purpose of bounding
democratic members of congress who
have been active in opposing Roose-
velt for reelection. The two demo-
Gratis who have been most relentlessly
pursued by the administration are
Congressman Claude Kitchen, of
North Carolina, and United States
Senator E. W. Carmack, of Tennessee.
According to thee story which the
Commercial Appeal published, H. C.
Robb, acting attorney general of the
United States, and United States At
torney Skinner, of Raleigh, N. c., en-
ployed M. l.. Reddoch, an ex-convict,
who served term in the United States
prison for embezzlement while post
master at Yazoo City, Miss, to scour
the country for political evidence
against Congressman Claude Kitchen.
Reddoch spent about a month In
the work, and travelled over North
Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma, searching for po-
litical evidence against Kitchen, but
failed to find anything whatever of a
damaging character. He was paid $5
per day for his time in addition to
railroad and sleeping-car fare, hotel
bills and incidentals. Reddoch sub
mitted his expense account to the de-
partment of justice, and was paid by
warrants on the state treasury. This
money was paid in the face of the
fact that there is on file in the treas
ury department at Washington an
execution for $4,000 against Reddoch
for fine imposed by the federal court
at Jackson, Miss. After Reddoch had
failed to secure political evidence
against Kitchen, acting attorney gen
eral Robb was still not satisfied. He
requested the postoffice department to
detail man on the case, and the
postmaster general sent a postoffice
inspector to Nashville, Tenn, where
the. Tennessee penitentiary was
searched for evidence, and the affi-
davits Of convicts was sought, but
nothing whatever was discovered. The
government sleuths were unable to
find anything of damaging charac-
ter against Senator Carmack.
