Who Should be Our Mex: Governor?

Communicated to The Commonvealth)
There is one candidate that the
preachers can't find any fault with
and when they can't you may
know he is a pretty good man and
can be trusted with the ship of
State. l haven't heard Of but one
set of people who do find fault with
him and they are the rich bond
and stock holders Of the railroads
or some other oppressive corpora
tions who try to crush out honest
competition, or their servants.
He is q friend to the farmer.
How can he help it, being brought
up on the farm, taught by noble
Confederate soldier, Capt. Buck
Kitchin, his father, how to do hard
labor? His record for ten years in
Congress, trying at all times to-
cure legislation favorable to the
farmers, is why he is so vigorously
opposed by the American Tobacco
Company and railroad interests.
Who ever knew Of either Of these in
terests to help the farmers, except
to get gain for themselves.
Farmers, he is your friend. His
record in Congress verifes this
statement and being your friend
and for you he is for the bone and
sinew" Of this land. 1t all depends
upon the farmer and you are in the
majority. So think for yourselves
Don't let county politicians, corpor-
alton and railroad lawyers tell you
how to vote. You have just as big
brains as they have, capable Of pro
ducing good, honest, pure thoughts,
thoughts that are not polluted with
bribe money from railroads and
other oppressive corporations.
have confidence in your thinking
capacity. | have confidence in your
action at the primary. "Be not de-
ceived." If you want to live and
do well you must get good prices for
your tobacco and other products.
This you can do if you vote fer and
elect to office such men to execute
and make laws for your country as
Hon. ". w. Kitchin. Everything
good comes through the kitchen.
| Some of the Democratic news
papers that oppose him are really
not Democratic; "they are wolves
in Sleeps clothing" and when found
out they will be Republican papers
or railroad organs.
N. B.-Some people (who would
oppose him anyway say he has helc
Office ten years. Well, if people OF
his own district know him we'll en-
ough to honor him five times isn't il
good proof that he is worthy ano
can be trusted outside Of his oWr
district? Don't be disturbed by such
opposition. It's tommy rot. Haven
you thought that railroad money
may be producing some of these ar
euments? 1t certainly is not gooc
Democratic doctrine. Good Demo
Gratis should want some one for theil
governor who has accomplished
something like Kitchin; one who ha'
been tried. tested and weighed IL
the balance and found not wanting.
The very fact that certain social
ed Democratic newspapers, oppres
sive corporations, the American To
bacco Company, the railroads ant
their attorneys oppose him is proc
enough that we need Hon. w. w
Kitchin for our next governor.

LEARN TO SAVE.
The First Step Toward Freedom and
independence is Economy.


A writer on the subject Of saving
and spending says this:
! Volumes have been written, ser
mons have been preached and even
songs have been sung from time m
memorial regarding the different
classes into which the human race is
divided, but after all, there are only
two classes between whom there is a
real and distinct dividing line; the
spenders and the savers.
The accomplishment of the works
of any age-the building Of the
houses, the mills, the bridges, the
railroads, the ships and everything
that has furthered mans advance
ment and happiness has been done
by the savers. The spenders carried
up the brick for the savers who built
the house.
The man who never has a dollar
laid away for the proverbial rainy
day." or in readiness for opportun-
ity's knock, is a slave He cannot
help being slave, for he is in con-
stant peril of falling under the bond
age of those others who have money.
The first step toward freedom and
independence is economy. Economy
means the avoidance Of all extrav-
agrance and the application of
money to the best advantage. The
starting point of economy is the first
nickle, dime or dollar that is saved
as a nucleus around.which the whole
future may be built.
The trouble with most men is that
they are not willing to climb the road
to wealth by industry, temperance,
frugality and honesty, but spend all
their time looking for the royal road
that will enable them to attain the
desired goal without sacrifice or eff
fort on their own part. Consequent
ly, they go through life dragging af-
ter them load Of debt and obliga-
tions that cripples their independ-
ence and makes Of them servile, ,cring-
ing creatures who cannot stand up
boldly and look the world in the face
because they have not a dollar in
their pockets and the independence
that goes with it.
1t does not require superior cour-
age or virtue to be economical. Econ
ony is satisfied with the ordinary en-
ergy and efforts to the ordinary
mind. Economy means to do with
out some little thing today, SO that
we may have something greater and
better in the future.
Let US look back for ten years over
the life Of the spender. How easily
he could have saved a dollar each
week, without depriving himself Of
one single comfort or pleasure. Had
he done so, his bank account would
now amount to $3.50 plus the inter
est. No matter how small the iTn-
come, a portion Of it should be re-
ligiou5ly saved.
To the spender l say: Begin now
today, at once-purchase indie
pendence and throw off the yoke Of
slavery by starting a bank account.
If you cannot spare IS, start it with
81. If you cannot spare whole dol
lar, begin it with ten cents, and be-
fore another year rolls around you
will know how good it feels to have
a real bank account. -

When one finds he is out of SYM
pathy with his town, and can only
say good word for it coupled with
an apology, he ought to get out.
Many people fall into a sort of un-
conscious growing. But it's a miser-
able habit. Such people make of
themselves a dead weight while of
course they imagine themselves par
ticularly independent. The individ-
ual has about all he can do to get
along under his own loads, and he
wants help and encouragement from
those going his way, and who are
identified with him in interest. So
with the town. 1t has its interest to
care for and it needs all the cooper
alton and helpfulness its citizens can
provide and bring to bear. Every
man is a part of his town. The town
embraces the fortunes, and in some
measure at least takes on the char
acter Of the man. So loyalty to ones
self, and this loyalty is in the line of
all well-shaped human nature. There
fore it is right to say that the man
who does not stand up for his town
is in some way dwarfed. There is
something wrong about him. His
fellows will pass this judgment upon
him and the chances are that while
he may add to the discomfort of
others he will not escape making
himself unhappY.
