| The writer has read various and sun
dry items and editorials in regard to
Mr.. Claude Kitchin, some good and
some ridiculous. Mr.. Kitchin has made
good and he is too great man in every
respect to do otherwise. I do not blame
him for not agreeing with Woodrow
Wilson. Mr.. Wilson has not decided
yet what he wants, except popularity
and Mr.. Kitchin has a plenty Of that
all ready Mr.. Wilson will soon va
cate his office and will not need the
concurrence of the Leader. The House
will retain its leader for as long in
the future as in the past and then some
Mr.. Mitchell is a very fine man from
what [ know and learn Of him, but he
has blighted his future and will here
after be construed as past tense or an
imperfect participator in the Democrat
ic primary. I have no harm against
Mr. Mitchell but am afraid he is try
ing for the wrong house. Don It be
mislead, Mr., Mitchell, Wilson is nc
larger than Kitchin and why should
Kitchin agree with Wilson unless ht
has guarantee that Wilson was go
ing to stick to something. He has the
walk of his Democratic Bridge ant
trying to perform a miracle on the
shifting waters. Why then agree?

youths were themselves and the child
rem realized a dream. About one hun
dred and fifty people from several
school districts were assembled to en-
JOY the pleasures that a school picnic
always has for those who love nature,
love work, love play and enjoy seeing
the world grow better.
Many boats full Of happy youngsters
floated, all day, over the splendid pond
and their laughter was good to hear.
The banks were dotted with groups of
children, who were realizing a dream
cf catching a fish-for many fish were
caught. Just the faces Of the more eld-
erly told well of their pleasure.
The dinner, composed Of barbecued
pig and many baskets full Of nice
things. showed how much interest the
good mothers are taking in Braswen
School.
The day was all too short and every
body went away 1e9nnS Ihe result VI

Of all was Miss Clara Pope, the wide
awake little teacher, who had planned
the day, and her vision of getting folks
together was realized.
The school districts in the Scotland
Neck community and the county as a
whole does not lack in well-equipped
wide-awake teachers.
