The Fly and the Trap.

The town of Lumberton is trying to
exterminate the fly by means Of traps.
Fifty or more of these contrivances
have been placed about town and The
Robesonian is delighted with results.
These traps, it says, care destroying
millions of flies each week. Very
likely true. Meantime, the people OF
Lumberton must not lose sight Of the
fact that millions of new flies will be
on the job each week. The fly trap
and the fly paper merely serve to keep
down the surplus population and to Civ ,
temporary relief. It is good for town
to catch and kill all the flies possible
but no town that does not go after the
seat of the trouble-the bree ding places
will ever be rid of flies. The fly
traps Of Lumberton might catch a mil
lion day, but SO long as the breeding
l,laces should be overlooked there will
. a fresh million to catch each succeed
ing day. There will be no end to the
flies so long as their breeding place is
sturbed.-Charlotte Observer.

WITH OTHER EDITORS

from the people of the district. Con,
gresham Kitchin is a leader in con-
gress with plenty of backbone. If he
is hard-headed, as some in Washington
want to make him out to be, it is be-
cause of the Gibra1tic strength of his
conviction. He will fight and has fought
for what he believed no matter what
the character Of his opposition, even
though the president of the United
States belonged to it. For this Yea-
son, some thought they saw an oppor-
tunity to spill him. 1t turned out ia
be an opportunity merely for the vo
tiers of his district to show him how
highly they esteem him. The entire
state is to be complimented by reason
of his return to congrss.-The Charlotte

ORGAN?

Neither attempting to disparage or
to cast any reflections on the News &
Observer, we wonder what the Demo-
eats of the Second District think of
their state organ. The Democracy of
eyes on the Second District Saturday
when their leader was the stake in the
primary. Followers Of Jefferson from
Ocean to Ocean and from the Lakes
to the Gulf were anxious, and eager to
learn of the political fate of Majority
has brought more honor to his State
by virtue of his position in the Halls
of Congress than any man in the State
in over a hundred years. He is gen
e,a ally conceded to be the biggest man
in North Carolina today. What meas
ure, then, of publicity did the Demo
cratic Organ of his native State give
to his tremendous victory and vindi-
cation at the hands of the suffrage of

times the space in this paper than was

thar believe that tha Democracy at tho
Nation shared in the joyous tidings that
coursed the communicating agents Of
the country telling of the complete vim
dication of Democratic principles in
the Second District on Saturday even
ing. His hold on the esteem and af-
fections of the people of the Second
remains unbroken. His answering
faith in the people of the Second has
been made stronger-though he has al
ways known that his constituency OK
pected the most faithful service, the
most exacting Democracy, and the near
est approach to popular rule from their
representative. Claude Kitchin knows
his people and his people know him.
Both have expectations and faith in
the other-neither have been dissapoint-
ed. He probably knows more men per
sonally in his district than any. man In
the Lower House of Congress. He pro-
baby makes as few speeches in his dis
trict as any man in Congress, yet he
stays in close touch with the people
he serves Again, we know that he feels
grateful beyond expression and happy
beyond attempt at expression for the
great victory Democracy won in his
name Saturday. It was a ringing en-
preston of untremmeled expression OF
honest convictions. More, it was de,
nonstration Of State pride.

The people of North Carolina will
share with Congressman Kitchin in the
glory which he reaped from the pri-
mary when he was returned to congress
by a vote that was so overwhelming
that it was staggering to his oppon-

the second district would have done
the state a discredit had they turned

may have been his opponent nor how

OUR EXTRA.

AS per promise to the people of Scot
land Neck, we issued the first extra
newspaper Sunday morning ever got
ten out in Scotland Neck, and one of
the few ever issued from a semi week
ly newspaper Office in this section. We
gave the returns from the various coun-
~ precincts and counties of the Con-
gressional District as fully as it were
possible to give them. Bad wire COM
Inunication, occasioned by a severe elec-
trical storm hindered in the work, and
the unusually large number of parties
using the various lines, kept us out of
some very important election news that
we would have been able to give if any
thing like normal use Of telephones was
carried on. We had a letter from a
friend in Kinston yesterday, who in
formed us that he had the complete re-
turns for US from Greene and Lenoir
AZ early as midnight, but it was impos-
sibc to call us. We placed the paper
at the home of approximately 500 peo-
pie here by Z clock We have heard
many complimentary remarks for the
excellent service rendered, etc, This
We deeply appreciate. We made no
charge for the paper, and made no mon
cy on the edition. It was Just a de-
sire of ours to inform the people first
of the result, and we feel that the ven
ture was success. Up to midnight
end after dozens of interested citizens
called at the Commonwealth Office to
hear the returns and read the bulletin
board. We are under obliations to the

ployes for the service rendered by them

Observation-Disclosures.

We take it that it properly falls
within the proprieties for the home
newspaper of Claude Kitchin to express
to the Democracy of Scotland Neck,
Halifax County and the Second Dis
t1ict his profound gratitude and apprc-
citation of the sweeping victory that
the people gave him Saturday. We
know that Mr.. Kitchin deeply feels his
victory and vindication at the hands of
the people, whom he has given service
that has exacted the most vigorous
mentality and energetic years of his
life. We believe that his great ma
.jority on Saturday was a ringing and
clear cut appreciation of his service to
his district and his country. We fur

Cooperation of the citizens of any
