Kitchens went to Clifton and Greenville last week In search of his thirteen-year-old boy who left home with a fellow named Louis, but he did not find his boy. Mr. Kitchens is greatly troubled about it and would be glad if any one would let him know where he Is, if they should see and know him. His name is James Kitch ens.

As we expect to have with us all the best newspaper talent in the State, the dally should be a “peach.” • • • Cherokee’s delegation to the Demo cratic State convention has returned to the city. The delegation voted solidly for Mr. Gonzales for one of the delegates to the National conven tion, and although Mr. Gonzales was defeated, he had the satisfaction of seeing the delegation Instructed for Mr. Bryan. The State newspaper hafl been working to this end for some time end he cannot but fee! that there was victory in his defeat. The action of the convention in endorsing Mr. Bryan and defeating the editor of The State shows very plainly that the fight on Gonzales was strictly per sonal. Those who fought him did so because they do not like the man, and not because they do not agree with his policy. We are sorry to see a body of representative citizens of South Carolina do a thing of this kind. It is an exhibition of childish spite and malice and there is not a particle of statesmanship exhibited in such action. We hoped that the citizens there is under no circumstances any purity in a lie or-falsehood. We sup pose it Is to be a falsehood white washed so as to deceive, instead of a positive one. We often see people indulging in the habit of telling little “white lies.” To make it more clear, we take for instance a girl looks out aQ d sees a visitor coming to spend a few hours with her. She ex claims: “Oh, I wish she had stayed at home, for I am so busy,” but when the visitor enters the door she Is met with the expression, “I am so glad to see you; how good it is In you to come.” We do not see any white about that and yet it gefcs under the name of “white He.” Let us advise those who indulge in “white lies” to stop it and tell pure truths. We spent a few hours last Sunday with our champion cow trader. We enjoyed our stay with him, but regret to say that his eyes do not seem to get any better. He said that he was In Gaffney last Saturday and before he knew anything he ran against a telephone post but was not badly hurt. We thought at" first he was "putting on” but we have come to the conclusion that his eyes are get ting weak and we suppose we will have to get him a pair of glasses and see if they will help him. He Is not trading any now. We suppose it* is because he is afraid he will get the worst end of the trade. We do not ments thought, money directed In this channel, performs the most valu able service possible in a growing community like ours. • With new people coming each year, It stands to reason that new homes must be provided to take care of these new citizens. The building of these homes from the excavation to the finishing touches, provides work for every class of artisan and tradesman In any way conected with the construction or the supplying of a new home. Therefore with increas ed shareholders the building and loan associations, would be capable of lending additional money on ex cellent security, vis: flrstr mortgage on real estate, and In this way, a great deal of the present stagnation In various lines of work would be au tomatically relieved. The excellent work done by the building and loan associations fn keeping the wheels of progress turn ing cannot be exaggerated. They are the only form of financial corpora tions which loan all of their money all of the time to assist In furthering real estate and building interests. Their security being first mortgages on improved real estate, is the best Jessie Wright, of W’ilkinsville, was here yesterday. L. A. Whisonant was a visitor to the city yesterday. BLACKSBURG NEWS.
