A long time ago ! trlel 10 deuFef myself Of a tribute to what is known among our citizenship as the Sco.cn- Irish. and the following poor passage was the usufruct.
 It is of the blood of StonewalI Jackson. rather than of the caste of Ifhiip H. Sheridan. It Is hardy race. lt defended Londonderry. It drove the Stuart from the Bl Nisn Isles. sI believed in prayer anu it believed in works. It had faith and it could fight. IL came to these shores and we find it in New Hampshire. in Pennsylvania, in Virginia. and in the Carolinas. It was at Cape Breton and at Quebec. It was in the Continental army. It was in the infant navy ana In the adult navy. lt sailed with Preble and fought with Decatur l. was with Farragut at Mobile and roamed with Memmes D strange seas. It gained the victory at Kings noun tain and saw the surrender at York town. 1t helped to make the constr tuition and did more than it's share 'u winning the west George Rogers Clark was one of it's blood. and the victor Of New Orleans was one or ils heres. It was with Stonewall Jackson at Chance.lorsville and with George II. Thomas at Chickamauga. it triumphed with Grant and it sur rendered with Lee. It believes in the family and in the home, in the church and in the school, and when $ has girded on the sword it has put the Bible in the knapsacB. It is 8 Presbyterian and representative gov ernment, in church and state, is part ol it's religion. It is for the Sabbath day that God ordained. IL is mighty nearly the clotted beam of American citizenship"

 And Claude Kitchin is of the blood and he is a splendid specimen of manhood mentally, morally and physically. The man actually has the temerity to believe something and to be gove' ned by his convictions, and that is a great thing in public men nowadays. when there is So much that i7 false and so much that is vapid abroad in the land. But here mind and matter and conscience con spirod together, and they made a raJ Claude EEiAhin, 42 years or asr and ten years a congressman
 had a slight acquaintance with lis father, who was a member of the ,artv sixth congress from the dis trict DOW SO ably represented by hIs son. N hat I especially recoilecC oi the father is that he was noted for a striking Individuality, 8 tralt tha. is nearly as common in North Caro- lima as it is in Kentucky. Not nearly so richly gifted in the graces ,f 4 public man as his younger son,h was yet a man Of sterling parts, as was evidenced by the frequency with which his associates quoted his ut- terances in private converse.
 William w. Kitchin, elder broth CT of the present congressman, was twelve years in congress from the fifth district and retired 10 accept the democratic nomination for gov ernor Of North Carolina, to which Of ice he was elected and which he yet holds He, too, IS a democrat without a flaw. and having succeeded Zeh Vance in one station it is not unlike Iy that he will be one of his success DTS in another
 Claude Kitchin was born at scot land Neck, N. C.. in 1869, when his brother, the governor, was three years old. The younger son was cd ucated at Wake Forest college. as lovely a spot as can be found between the two oceans. IL Is rot far from i,aleigh, and it is ths-e that tne
