HAS MR.. KITCHIS BEEN MIsREP-
RESENTED

The Washington correspondent of
the News and Observer says that
Congressman w. w. Kitchin is op-
posing the confirmation Of Mr.. X
ID. Douglas, postmaster at Green's
boro, because, he says, Mr.. Douglas
has persistently misrepresented him.
Mr.. Kitchin refers TO a news item
that appeared in the Industrial New
once or twice last summer in regard
to the reports that the democrats in
the Fifth district had formed com
bine to deal out certain Offices. The
plan was to make Biggs of Durham
Judge instead of Shaw make r. j.
Justice Speaker of the present leg
islature, and Kitchin to be demo
cratic nominee for Governor next
year.
Mr.. Biggs has been made judge
Mr.. Justice is now Speaker Of the
House-and in this same correspond
ence to the News and Observer it IL
stated that Mr.. Kitchin did not take
advantage of his claim to get on TIM
House judiciary committee, aDC
and that this fact had suggested to 1
number Of people that Mr.. Kitchir
has decided to become a candidate
for Governor, and will retire from
Congress at the end of his next term
We can't see where the Industrial
News has misrepresented sMr
Kitchin or any of the members il
the combine. The two other mem
bers have already landed and if Mr.
Kitchin does not get the nomina-
ton no one will accuse negligence
on his part.

FIFTH DISTRICT COMBINE -


Last summer the Daily Industrial
News stated that combine had been
formed in the Fifth District by the
ring democrats. The News stated
that the object of the Fifth Dis
trict Combine" was to make Craw-
ford Biggs, of Durham, Judge in his
district, E. j. Justice, of Green's
boro, Speaker of the House Of Rep
resentatives at this term of the leg
islsture and Kitchin the next demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. The
News and Observer and other demo-
cratic papers said that the charge was
false, and was only published to in
jure the democratic party, that dem
ocrats would not be guilty of such a
trick as forming a coordination to
deal out offices.
Well, J. Crawford Biggs, of Dur.
ham, is now Judge of his district,
and Judge Shaw has been retired to
private life. E. J. Justice, of Greens
borO, has been elected Speaker OF
the House Of Representatives and
Kitchin is to be nominated for Gov.

GOVERNMENT FROM THE STATE
HOUSE.

The majority Of the Democratic
candidates, before they were elected
last fall, led the voters to believe
they were in favor of local self
government. Many of the voters
were dissatisfied from the fact that
the legislature for the past few years
had appointed Magistrates, Commits
sioners, ETC., in many Counties where
the voters had already selected such
officers. They did this especially in
Republican Counties and in Demo
cratic Counties where the ring DEM
Ocrats were not in control. This was
done of course to give ring Demo-
Gratis jobs and to make the Simmons
Machine stronger in the State.
But it seems since the Democratic
members have gotten to the legisla-
ture they have decided to again de-
prive the people of the State of local
self government, as the first bill sent
to the Clerks desk in the lower
house was to appoint four extra
magistrates in a certain County.
The following on the subject is from
Sundays Industrial News:
"The first bill sent to the Clerks
desk in the lower house of the pres
ent legislature provided for the ap-
pointment of four magistrates in a
certain county, while in the Senate
among the standing committees an
nounced by the lieutenant governor
was on justices of the peace-not q
particularly suspicious opening for
the principle of local self-govern-
ment."
