Card registration of employes of "all persons, firms and I eorporatioai" hero has beea put into effect by tho city council. Begistratioa of labor slackers ooder t more polite deiignatioa wss ordered ia August. It failed of results. One reason was that tho ordinance mailt it incumbent upon tho slacker to present himself to the authorities. Not a person was found to bo willing to confess to being a slacker.- Tho new system, say aldermen ' and tho police, will "get the goods." Section 1 of the ordinance follows: "AH persons, firms and corporations within thia eity under its jurisdiction, who employ labor, shall bo furnished by tho eity in tho manner hereinafter set out, eards for each and every male em ploye between the age of 18 and 55, which cards shall show the daU of em ployment, name, age, draft number and address and card number of each and very person so employed coming under the above description and limitation, auch cards to bo issued by the city in triplicate, one of which is to be fur nished to tho employer, one to the em ploye and one to the chief of police xt the eity of Kinston." The form of the card is embodied in the ordinance. On the reverse side is to bo printed a num ber of blank lines, and each emplover shall "make record ae!i wwk of tht number of days each of the laborers under him has worked for said week." Employers will report not later than noon each Monday the names of all employes who failed during the previous week to work as much as five days." The chief of police will "enter such rec ord" on hia card. Employes will be required to carry their cards with them and to exhibit them to any city, county or draft offi cer who desires to investigate. Penalties for violation of the various sections of the ordinanca range from a fine of $30 to a fine of $50 and imprisonment for 30 days. Any male person l etween 19 and 55 who fails to work five days a week "shall be fined 50' or imprisoned. Tho chief of police is made "labor super visor." More drastie than this ordinance is an order to an aldermanie committee to personally convass the drivers of trans fers and drays in the city and report upon "those better fitted for other work." Those "selected'' will ho warn ed to seek more essential employment immediately. Failure will cause the po lice to "sic" the draft authorities on them. Simultaneously with the city officials' departure the Lenoir county commis sioners passed a resolution calling upon the sheriff to keep a "record of labor conditions" and all deputy sheriffs, con stables and other officers to get down be hind vagrants. "Believe me, old Jerry knows Uncle Ham has taken a hand in the war," de clares Payne Mldyette, first sergeant in an infantry regiment overseas in which Kinston is largely represented. "The boys from our town are making a mark that will never be forgotten. And any man would be glad even to sacrifice his lifo in such a cause, says Midyette in a letter to friends here. Nine point twos were bursting aronnd him occa sionally ns Midyette, who is a Hvdo county man, sat writing in a dugout It was raining and muddy outside. In spite of which Midyette, who Mated that he expressed tho sentiment of all the other Tar Heels, used the word "glor loos" in describing his situation.

From the Pacific Htate he would go to the Orient, and from there to the Levant to visit tho places St. Paul visited.
