While some North Carolina papers
placed low estimate on Claude
Kitchin's opening speech on the
Canadian reciprocity bill, papers
outside Of North Carolina have re-
viewed Mr.. Kitchin's speech and
have pronounced il one Of the great
est speeches delivered in Congress
in q quarter Of a century Certainly.
it is unjust 10 this brilliant young
Tar Heel Congressman that because
in the heat Of debate he criticised
some members OF North Carolina
delegation in Congress, that this, in
tie eye Of some partizans sh1;!ld be
set ZIP against Er. Kitchin's great

Girl and p0ne-Iake.

Some time ago Georgia reported,
with justifiable pride. hat it had a
boy, Is years old, who has succeeded
in raising 125 bushels of corn to the
acre. But now the same enterpris-
ing state comes to the front with
the record of a girl. "A, who has
placed on exhibition at the State
Normal School 50 varieties of corn
food dishes! Every one Of these
dishes is described by the experts as
not only palatable but absolutely de-
Iicious. Of course, the boys success
depended in no small degree on
weather and soil conditions. But
that girl! Fifty-two varieties of
corn-fed dishes! And all delicious!
IN days 'befo' dc war" Virginia
darkies had "pone-cake song," the
refrain of which was:
"Ole Virginny tire
Put de cake upon de foot and hole il
to de fire.
It is a familiar saying that great
changes have come upon the South
since the days Of that song. Few
however, in the line Of gastronomy
have equaled the advancement il
the art of pone-cake making. What
JOY would have been added to the
gastronomic experiences of Brilliant
Savarin could he have lived to know
that Georgia girl.-Chicago Journal

A APiEhSANT GYPSY TEA.
Opening OF The Seasons Ga!!Ies a
Hr. and Mrs. {. ". AibariSaa'S.
Reported to The Commonwealth.


The big gun opening the seasons
pleasure campaign was fired by the
Gypsy Tea given Thursday evening.
The date was selected so as to get
the advantages OF the full moon, and
the weather man could not have been
nicer as the evening was an ideal
one. Gotten up under the direction
of Mrs. E. T. Whitehead and Mrs.
G. w. Albertson, who as entertain
ers may sometimes be equaled but
never surpassed, the affair proved,
what all previous ones Of It's kind
had given every one q right TO anti
cipate, a most enjoyable occasion.
The crowd left town, just two at a
time, all around and between the
hours Of four and five thirty O'Clock
and drove down to the Aiber tson' 8
home at Edwards Ferry on the
Roanoke. AT this time of the year
when all rlature is fully clothed IN
its spring attire this place presents
scene that one would have TO so
far to duplicate. The lawn with its
undulating slope which rivals some
Of the finest terraced yards, the
river with the banks of green trees
for background, all help to make
it truly the place beautiful. Fer
those who cared TO so there was the
river and the boats, for others the
pretty paths fer stroll, wEii'2 the
natural beauty Of the place IS Sc I'M
pressive that one could be content
to just sit still and drink it u ard
tall. These diversions made he
time pass so pleasantly that il seem
ed only few minutes between lha
time Of arrival ana the arnoG1c &C.
rnent that tea was ready. And the
lunch, it was the "r.oest of The
bestest" things imaginable, sad
every one showed plainly tha5 Icy
were enjoying fully this tesSage.
The first item OF the program - ~a2
lunch was to watch G syarn Of ICES
be smoked from a gum tree aod the
honey taken, but owing to tlle
timidity Of the crowd they failed TO
see this through. However, il serv-
ed its purpose as the strcll in tae
moonlight was a pleasure. During
the evening many games such as
Fruit Basket, Earth-Air-W Watcr-12 ?
34-5-6-7-8-9-10, etc, good ones for 6
crowd ever young, were INDUCED
in. Near the close Of the entertGia.

ed. 1t was just one Of those occas

would be glad to see it repeated

MELROsE EXPECTS THE
RETURN OF FAT YEARS

Melrose, N. NJ, March 6.-Farmers
about Melrose have been gladdened by
another rain and snow. Old timers who
remember what this part of the coun-
try has done are preparing for the
return of the fat years.
Melrose Is now the common point OF
at least two railroad propositions as a
result of the success in signing up a
large acreage IN the adjacent shallow
water belts for sugar beets to supply
a proposed factory.
One OF these runs south from Tu-
cumcari through here to San Antonio,
and the other runs more east and west.
The sugar beet factory now seems
sure for the Melrose- Portales valley.
The company takes a mortgage on the
farmers land for $50 per acre, issues
him that amount in preferred stock,
provides water for the whole place and
has the use OF one-sixth of it.
The Melrose Index has begun
a campaign of education for the
