MR.. KITCHJN'S RESPONSE

We have received copy OF Hon
Claude Kitchin's response to the toast
"The South" before the Appomat tox
Day banquet OF the Hamilton Club
IN Chicago April 18th. The entire
South owes Mr.. Kitchin thanks fo1
the masterful presentation of her in.
terests, and especially for the candor
with which he discussed secession and
the claims of the Confederacy that
was, and his very intelligent and con-
vinclng presentation OF the race
problem. He captured his audience
in his opening remarks by the humor-
Gus way in which he spoke of bis
loneliness as Democrat before Re.
publican audience in a Republican
strong hold. The people OF Chicago
had not been accustomed to hear
things said just as Mr.. Kitchln said
them, and he gave a few statistics,
comparing the colored people in the
North with the colored people of the
South, which must have astonlshed his
audience. He showed that many
times larger per cent. Of negroes in
the North are III prison than of those
in the South and that many times a
larger per cent of the negroes in the
South own their homes than OF those
in the North. What the South has
done in educating the negro was
clearly stated, and those who heard
Mr.. Kitchin doubtless had clearer
conception of the worth and character
OF the people of the South than they
had had before.
Mr.. Kltchin's speech was a gem as
literary production, as we'll as force
full and eloquent plea for the South
and the principles for which her PEG.
pie stand. But 1T has to be read to be
appreciated, and even then one lose.
the m lgnetism that caa.actarizes Mr..
kltchln's force ul style of speaking
The Hamilton Club Was peculiarly
fortunate in getting the great fact
and at the same time enjoying the
eloquent delivery.

HOME ENTERPRISES
Wilmington MESSENGER May g.


Thursdays Observe, of Fayetteville
cantalned an item In reference to a
home insurance company headed "Ps-
tronize Home People" Those sort OF
articles are always applauded by home
business men. They like to see them
in their town payer. Let local paper
come out with an editorial urging the
people of the town to buy their
drygoods, clothing, millinery, hard
ware and all other supplies from home
merchants instead of sending their Or
ders to department houses OF the big
cities of the north and the editor can't
walk block without being stopped q
half dozen times by local merchants
engaged in these and other lines OF
business and commended for the po-
sition he has taken in favor of patron
izing home industries, and if he will
take the trouble to make inquiry in
his papers Job Offices he will find that
number of those very business men
buy all their envelops, letter-heads and
bill-heads from some house in north
ern city. 1t is all right for the news
paper to urge the people to buy their
necessaries at homo, but it ia quite a
different thing when it comes to those
business men having their printing
done or laying in their supply OF
stationery. There are big business
concerns in the south which do not
spend five dollars a year tor job work
with the local newspapers, but place
all such orders with houses in other
sections and still think it is the duty
of those papers to continually harp
upon tho duty of our people to patron
lie homo merchants. 1t is poor rule
that does not work both ways. 1t is,
indeed CALLING to newspaper man
to be criticised by business man OF
his city for not devoting more OF
his time and giving more of the space
of his paper to boosting the business
of his city and urging the building up
of larger home trade when he knows
that very man making the complaint
of derellction of such duty on the edi
tor. part spends only the paltry sum
of a years subscription to his city
paper or with thehome printing concern
while be has all his printing done by
and purchases all his stationery from
some house in northern city. This
is no exaggeration of facts and no i'm
aginary case. The newspapers OF the
south day aftor day deyote the time o.
their employees and give space in their
columns to aiding in building up tbs
! business Of men in the city who show
their appreciation Of such labor j:
their behalf by ignoring the tact tha
these newspapers are dependent to ,
large extent on homo patronage TO
support and by ratron!zing outsld.
concerns in preference to those a
home. That such conditions exist nc
nan acquainted with the facts can de
ny and no one can make PLAUSIBLE ex
cuse for such conditions.
