Hon. Claude kitchin takes
issue with the letter written
some time ago by Senator Sim
mons to j. A. Taylor, president
Of the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce, in which the Sena-
tor came out fatty in support
of the duty on lumber. Mr..
kitchin does not favor any
tariff being put on lumber, and
regards the position taken by
Senator Simmons in his speech
delivered at Snow Hill, in 1902.
as the proper one. "This speech
of Senator Simmons" says Mr..
kitchin, contains six pivotal
propositions, to wit:
''First The absurdity of the
Republican contention that the
Dingley lumber tariff made
high prices for Southern lum-
Der.
Second. That the tariff had
nothing to do with the increase
in price of North Carolina lum-
Der.
"Third. The cause of in
creased prices in lumber.
"Fourth. That under n ormal
conditions the prices of lumber
will continue to increase, wheth-
er the tariff is retained or re-
moved.
"Fifth. That our North Car
DINA lumber interests are II OF
benefited by the tariff.
Sixth. That Canadian lum-
Der does not compete with our
Southern lumber"
Mr.. Kitchin says further:
"a most careful study and
investigation of the lumber tar
iff question, since then, as it re-
lates to our lumber interests in
North Carolina and the South
convince me that the position
taken in that speech is sound.
The statistics relative to the
American and Canadian timber
interests and production OF
lumber and the recent hearings
before the Ways and Means
Committee, as well as the hear
ings before the committees in
1890 and 1897 conclusively sus-
tain his contention that the re
moval or reduction of the tariff
on lumber would not affect the
lumber interests in North Car
Dina or the South.''

A Successful Meeting.

The protracted meeting which clos
ed at the PRESBYTERIAN church Sun
day night was. in every way, a sue
cessful one, there being about seven
ty-five or more Conversions. Rev.
William Black, who assisted the pas
tor, Rev. Jno. S. Wood, in these
meetings, is a preacher of more than
ordinary ability and has held several
meetings here before, and each time
great good was done and the Christ
ian people uplifted, while large num-
.bers were added to the different
churches in town. Mr.. A. Burr d.
rected the singing which added much
to the services.-Enfeld Progress.

we think, but has not been here all the time since crops were gathered Candidates for clerk ships complain of having seen very little of him.
 Arkansas has actually changed governors again. There is no req son to think that the present governor is not quite as cOmpet- ent and oblig.ng as his predeces- sOr, and that he will do the state quite as much good considering the length Of time he will have to serve. There seems to be ur- anity of op!niun that the constl- tuition should be amended to pro- vide a lieutenant governor There are, already, perhaps hal! a dozen amendemnts to the con- stitut.on ready to be introduc- ed. At the present rate, we may count on an expenditure of about $1 1000. every two years for a. mendments to the constitution. It would not take long at this rate to get or save enough mop- ey to hold a constitutional con- ventiOn This would meet with some opposition of course, but would 1t not be the cheaper, and better thing to do for the peO- pie especially since to meet mod ern conditions there are so many things that ought to be incorpor- ated into our organic law. The impetus which Senator Clarke gave to the movement at the last meeting of the Arkansas Bar Association will no doubt be Of material assistance in getting a bill passed providing for a convention to frame a new con stitution. If the legislature pas ses a bill submitting the temper ance question to the people next year. there is no reason that 1 can sec why the people should not vote on the question as to whether we will have a conven- ton, and at the same time the delegates could be elected This would save the expense of addi- tional elections, and at the same time would help stimulate inter- est in all questions and bring out a good vote. Again it would be a practical adoption of the re- ferendum idea in submitting questions to direct vote of the people, an idea that seems. to be growing more popular the older it gets One of the best possible

LETTER FROM
 SENATOR MCKENZIE
n Plain Spoken Manner Tells of COndi- lions Confronting Present Session
 of Legislature.
Little Rock, Jan. 12, 1909.

Dear News Amid a snow sto1m, it looks more like Christ mas in Little Rock, than it does the opening of the legislature. Since everybody seems to be looking for something, there is another reminder of Christmas times At this writing the or ganization of both houses is practically complete. The d!sap- pointed office seekers are about to return to their homes and those that remain appear ready for business. The organization has been attended with the us- uai hustle and hurry, and every body seems to have had a good time, even the much sought legislator. The only candidate from Nevada county keeping a close eye on the telescope, ear ly discovered that his star was not in the ascendency and with drew from the race, he was tempted, however, by more in viting fields. Bro Whaley is here.
