NO INDEPENDENT In THE FIFTH.

We are glad to see positive denial
of the rumor published by the Indus
trial News of Greensboro, that some
of the Democrats OF the Fifth District
who were opposed to Mr.. Brooks
nomination would put out an indie
pendent Democratic candidate. K.
G.. Strudwick, an attorney Of Green's
boro, was one of the persons named
as probably the man who would run
against Mr.. Brooks. We are glad,
but not surprised to see this gentle
man make positive denial of such in
timation. In making the denial to
the correspondent OF the Charlotte
Observer, he said:
II wish to say that | have never
said or done anything to justify such
a rumor. 1 have not and never have
had any such intention; | shall, as
ever, vote the straight Democratic
ticket"
1t was stated in Greensboro that
Professor Holt would make similar
statement Wefeel sure that he will
do SO.
We gaveno credence to the reports,
and are glad they have been SO pos
itiyely denied thus early.-Wilming-
ton Star
1t occurs to us that the mess the
Fifth District Democrats have got
themselves into they will have their
hands quite full to elect a Democrat
to Congress with only one candidate
in the field; and with the party
divided worse than it is nothing but
defeat could be expected. Sore as
some men are and refusing to make
Brooks nomination unanimous as
they did we cannot believe that there
will be any open opposition to him
other than the Republican nominee
who will be pitted against him.

An Explanation That Does Not Elk.
plain.
Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer.

Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer.
Mr. Craig in his speeches in this
county, justified the support of him
self by Senator Simmons on the
ground that he was the Senator's
friend and had supported him for
office The late Hon. James A. Lock
hart, of this county, was a personal
friend of Senator Simmons also, they
having graduated in the same class
at Trinity college. Mr.. Lockhart
also most ardently supported Mr..
Simmons for United States Senator
against General Carr. OF this fact
the editor of this paper speaks of his
own knowledge, he having been in
the thick of the fight in Arson with
Mr.. LOckhart for the success of the
State chairman.
Two years later, however, when
Senator Simmons was asked to sup
port Tin quiet way and not by
going into the newspapers the can
didacy of Mr.. Lockhart for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court he
replied that he could not, with pro-
priety do SO, he having been elevated
to the great office Of United States
Senator by the friends of all the can
didates seeking the office of Associate
Justice.
Thousands of the old friends and
supporters of Senator Simmons, who
are now advocating the nomination
of Mr.. kitchin, would like for him to
explain, in view of his present parti-
san advocacy of the nomination of
Mr.. Craig, his refusal to even speak
good word for Mr.. Lockhart when
asked to do SO. Another thing these
same old friends and supporters
would like to know is this: have the
rules of propriety changed or is there
some secret motive behind this COM
bination OF powerful politicians and
high and mighty office holders to
crush Mr.. Kitchin? 1t is perfectly
evident that there is such a cambina-
ton but the Messenger and hteHi-
gencer believes the Democratic voters
of North Carolina, now that they
have been put on their guard, will
not allow it to be successful.

A Noble Eulogy.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
At the recent commencement OF
the University of North Carolina,
Col. Paul B. Means, chairman of the
committee appointed to prepare a
suitable expression OF appreciation OF
the services of Hon. KempP. Bsttle
upon his retirement from the faculty,
read noble eulogy of DR.. Battle. 1t
was more than that: 1t was an ex-
tended snd comprehensive statement
of the long and devoted services of
DR.. Battle to the University as
student, tutor, trustee, professor and
president. 1t was such biography
and estimate of service that could
have been written by no man except
one who had been in close touch and
accord with DR.. Battle. From the
day the University opened after the
war, Col. Means as trustee and legis-
lator, has served it well, and few men
knew the true story of the long and
useful service rendered by DR.. Battle.
The sketch and appreciation by Col.
Means adds a valuable contribution
to the history of the University for
the last third of a century.
