right then.

''Yes, nam, John Grant and

child, but times do change, they
certainly do! A little while ago
they throwed off on old man
Crawford by telling how he
used to plow a bull when he was
a boy, and now well, well!
But he certainly did plow
that bull. Yes, mann. and he sup

tages when he was young. He
was one Of our own Western
North Carolina people, like me
and Jim, and earned his bread
by hard work. He didn't have
any education to speak OF.
Didn't have time. remember
all about that. He and his
mother was jest as poor as poor
could be, but, Bill, he made up
his mind while he was a-plowing
that bull that some day he'd
plow the radicals out'n these
mountains and by golly he's a
doing it! John Grant can go
around telling all the lies he's
a-mind to, but it's jest as Jim
says. Jim says Bill Crawford is
one of our own people. He was
born poor, he worked hard on
the farm, and learned a little,
then he got to be clerk in a little
store in Waynesville, and learned
some more. He kept on working
and studying and now, today,
he's a man Western North Caro-
lima is proud of!
Il remember, says Jim, how

tages than they had, he has gone
through every hardship and
every struggle they have, and
his heart and sympathy is with
them now.
"He is a man of strong intel
lect, of great natural powers,
and a natural born student.
From the humblest beginning he
has risen to be a man of national
reputation. The average con-
gresham is lost, in congress.
When Crawford gets up from his
seat they listen, says Jim. He
is a member of the most impor-
tant committee in Congress.
His speech on the Aldrich bill to
reform the currency commanded
the attention of the whole coun-
try, and the National Demo-
cratic Committee has deemed it
of sufficient importance to have
it printed in the National Demo
cratic Hand Book.
"Jim says w. T. Crawford is
one of the ablest men and one OF

Rivers and Harbors committee.
and he says, jim does, that Con-
gress1nan Crawford is coming to
be looked upon as a national
figure like Burton.
Jim says, too, that Bill Craw-
ford is of thepeople, for the peo-
pie, and by the votes of the peo-
pie will be the next congressman
from this district. and John
Grant and his lies about the Con-
stitution and Latin and lots of
other things aint a-going to fool
these mountain people one bit.
No, sir!
We know John aint as igno-
rant as he pretends to be. He's
telling people how his heart
bleeds for them. How ignorant
he is and how he can't read or
write Latin any more than they
can. He tells them how the
'aristocrAcy'' of the district is
a-fghting him and trying to
rouse class prejudice. John Grant
forgets the number of mem and
boys these mountains have sent
forth into the world who after
wards became famous as bust
ness men, as lawyers, as states
men, as orators and preachers.
He forgets they are the most
intelligent people, as a class,
found anywhere in the United
States. That they love honor,
reverence truth. honesty, NOR
ality and sincerity of purpose
and they are the best Judges Of
political fakirs and mountebanks
to be found anywhere.
Long after John Grant and
his campaign of falsehoods, Of
direct, absolute and knowing
misrepresentation has faded
from the minds of these people,
says Jim, there will remain with
them, vivid and unperishable, the
picture of another man:
"a man who stands four
square to everywind that blows"
"A self-made man in every sense
of the word. A man born amidst
the humblest surroundings.
growing to. manhood among the
people whose struggles and hard
ships and poverty he shared>and
understands, a man who stoops
to no misrepresentation, who
could not dodge here and there
through the woods making a
campaign of falsehoods to gain a
vote, but a man in every sense
of the word, a man of the people.
And that man is William T.
Crawford, the next congress
man from the tenth district of
North Carolina, a man whom the
nation delights to honor, and an
honor to this state.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE
CORPORATION CONM|SSONP


Governor WV. Kitchin is tall,
finely proportioned, pale COM
plexion, black eyes. black hair
and lots of it, a chin which
sticks out and lips which be-
come straight lines at times. He
is very handsome man, and has
an easy, graceful manner. He
wears black suit, a black tie
and a peculiar black hat. The
play Of his expressive features
when talking is interesting. He
is an orator Of fine ability. His
words come sharp and clear
and his audience feel almost as
tho they were in church. His per-
sonal magnetism is remarkable.
He makes friends easily and
keeps them. He has an unlimit-
ed store of good stories, and like
Abraham Lincoln often illustrates
his point with some homely
! yarn.
His Excellency was born at
Scotland Neck, Halifax county,
Oct. 9, 1866. He is a son of Capt.
w. H. Kitchin, is married, and
has been in Congress since 1896,
! representing the fifth district.
He is a graduate of Wake Forest
College and,studied law at the
State University under DR.. Man
ming.
Hon. B. +. Aycock delivers
his words with a sledge hammer
effect every sentence weighted
with . message to democracy.
aOf this, distinguished man, the
Raleigh News and Observer re-
centlysaid:
The Democratic State Con-
vention in Charlotte named as
its nominee for membership in
the North Carolina Corporation
Commission, Hon. B. F. Aycock,
of Wayne, a nomination which
will mean the addition to the
Commission of one of the strong
est men in the State.
Mr.. Aycock is known through
out North Carolina because of
the earnest, valuable and eff
ent work he has done in the State
Senate. AS a member of that
body several times he has held
position on many important COM
mittees, and the State has learn
ed to regard him as one of its
safest and wisest men. He took
a leading part in establishing
the State Normal College, intro
duced and secured the passage
of laws that resulted in putting
the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Raleigh and Eastern Railroad,
hitherto exempt from taxation,
on the tax books.
Mr.. Aycock has devoted his
life to farming and has made q
success of it, cultivating now in
Wayne county on which he was
born in 1853. The Civil War de-
MED him the advantages of an
early education, but his determi-
nation to 90 forward has over
come all difficulties. Nominated
for State Treasurer on the ticket
with C. B. Watson, he went
down in defeat with the others
before the Populist Republican
fusion, but he has lived to see
North Carolina safely back in
the Democratic column, having
been one of the men to aid in
this. AS a member of the North
Carolina Corporation Commission
he will prove of value to the
people and the State, without
being an injury to the rail-
roads. +"
These two gentlemen arrived
in town last night. They were
met at the depot by a reception
committee and escorted to the
Hotel Gates. Mr.. Kitchin has
been here before, during the
State Bar Association, when
Judge Parker made the annual
address. -
