EdiUr WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 25, 1915, "The public be damned" policy of big business men has given way to one of publicity service, according to Chairman E. S. Gary, of the United State* Steel Corporation. To which the public will in all probability answer: "Publicity service be damned." We cannot help thinking sometimes of what a rip-snorting sen sational and highly interesting uewspaper we could get out, if we only dared do it. If we published in detail the various conversations that are heard on the streets every day, including criticisms of per sons, and other sundry bits of news, we'd have our ambition satisfied. Only we'd want to be far from here by the time the paper was on the streets. Anton Lang, who played the part of Christ in the great Passu r * ?ay at OtNrainmergau, Switzerland, has been killed in battle in France. His likenesa to the pictures of the Saviour was considered remarkable, but evidently the bullets are no respector of persons. ''Good roads*' will l>e an important topic of discussion at tie meeting and smoker of the Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night It promises to be a big event in the history of Washington an Beaufort county. TIIE PrBI.IC LIBRARY. For some reason or other. the local public library appears to I having considerable difficulty in procuring sufficient funds f<?r op orating expense*. A* one time then- were over one hundred an ^ tifty persons who subscribed annually towards its upkeep. X o\v then' are a ^?-aut thirty. It is certain that something* will have t* be d'?ne in the near futurn to remedy pre>ent conditions, or else th city will U- without any library or reading morn. A good public library is one of the* greatest institutions that . city rati havo. and Washington should be well able to support m: here. The present library contains a large number ? >f excellent vol urnes, including many reference books, standard works by well-known ancient and modem authors and late fiction. Copies of many mag.', zintw are always kept on file. It would be a regrettable occurrence if th* institution were forced to close its doors because of lack ?.f funds for maintenance. We spend many thousands of dollars annually for amusement** of various kinds: and we certainly should be able to donate five or six hundred dollars to keep up our library. Over in Kinston the jurors in a murder case saw a "horrible traeedv" depicted on the stage of a local theatre, while they were out deciding on a verdict. Counsel for the defense gave notice of appeal on the grounds that the play affected the verdict. Wonder what would have resulted if some musical comedy had been showing instead of "St, Elmo?" In spite of Carranza's recognition, affairs on the border do not seem to have improved any, and conflicts between TT. S. troopers and Mexican bandits are of daily occurrence. It is now up to Carranza to show what he can do in the way of preserving order. We've been talking "good roads" in this section long enough. It is now time for action, and we believe that this action will be forth coming after Wednesday night's meeting. AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN. A critical and important development in the European war is taking place in Serbia. Should the Teutonic allies }*? successful in their advance through this country, it will moan the greatest strat egic success that they have yet won. The quadruple entente realize the grave state of affairs and are doing all in their power to check the move of their enemies. Unable to rush a large enough number of their own troops to the scctio of battle, they are making desperate efforts to have Greece enter the wur on their side. In order to induce the Grecians to join tlieui, they have offered to cede Cyprus and make other .concessions ill re turn for Greek military cooperation with Serbia. Greeeo has refused the offer and unless unexpected developments take place, it seems almost certain that the Teutonic forces will he successful in their campaign in the S'>uth. This will not. only put Serbia in their hands and give them an outlet to neutral countries, Lut will also, in all probability, mean that the war is to last for a much longer lime than i< generally supposed. ROBBING I S OF PUBLICITY. John G. Kragaw, Jr.. one 'if our prominent local residents, in a conversation with the writer this morning, mentioned four different articles which he had noticed in magazines and newspapers during the last few days, in which North Carolina had lieen robbod of some excellent advertising. 'I he heading on one of the articles made mention of a feature motion picture, the scene of which was laid in the Bluo Ridge moun tains in the western part of the State. The heading read : "Picture Taken Amid Beautiful Scenery of Mountains in Kentucky." An other article, in a high-class New York magazine, made mention of the fact that there were no schools for the feebleminded in a num-l bor of Southern States, North Carolina included. Tf the author 1 had taken pains to investigate, he would have learned of the school of this kind that is located at Kinston. Still another article had "South Carolina" substituted for the Old North State, and a fourth acoount' chained "North Carolina" to "North Dakota," in mention ing our resource*. Mr. Bragaw marked all of these articles and sent them baek to thrt publishers. Others, who happen to notice similar mistakes, would do the State a service if thejr followed his action. We are at least entitled to what belongs to rone? or uii. By rtrtae ef the ?Kl? ooat lined in thm nv??1 sort gagc?. ou ?x*eiU4 fcj A I.

Paige \f\I Success ? overwhelming and unique ill the motor car industry ? has been our Success. W# are grateful to our Paige Friends who have con tributedto this Success. And we want to show our gratitude in a substantial way. What We Are Celebrating This is the anniversary of the Paige entree in the field of six-cylinder motor cars. Think of that ? only a year ago I In twelve months Paige Sixes ? on sheer merit of the cars, on their sheer quality ? on their sheer value ? have utterly swept and dominated the six-cylinder field ? have won universal recognition as the unchallenged leaders of the Sixes. It is vastly more than a dollars- and-wnts Success. It is the victory of an economic principle and a sound Ameri can idea. A year ago we staked our huge investment on our belief that the American people would be k to see in these Paige Sixes Supreme Quality at lowest possible price for such quality. And the overwhelming endorsement of the American people bas been our reward. ' Now Many More Paige Sizes Overwhelming and gratifying as the Year's Suc cess has been, there is a still greater event, a still more important step in Paige Progress that we are cele brating in this Paige Jubilee. That is the opening of the huge four-story con crete annex to the already enormous I'aige factory. To say that thousands and thousands of square feet of floor space has been added to Paige manufacturing facilities perhaps means little. But to say that Paige Production Is Now Doubled means a very great deal ? both to us and to you. Although the huge Paige plant has been operated night and day since last January, we have never caught up with orders for Paige Sixes. Until now we have never caught up with this tidal-wave of demand. * Thousands of Paige Purchasers have been disap pointed and we couldn't avoid it. Now ? for the first time ? with the enormous factory addition, with our doubled production, with ample deliveries of Paige materials, we can promise you your Paige Six. We can now give the thousands of Paige Enthusiasts, whom for nine months we have been forced to disappoint, the c*r of their choice. Whether It be the improved seven-passenger Fairfield "Six-4<J" ? or the new five-passenger Holly wood Light "Six -36". Paige is making Immediate Deliveries. Other motor car manufacturers are crippled for materials or because of manufacturing difficulties or for lack of mechanical equipment. The Paige is pre pared ? prepared now to keep every promise ? to sell you one of the country's two most popular Sixes at ?1295 or $1005 ? and Deliver It To You NOW. That is the reason we are jubilant ? why Paige Success is being celebrated across the Continent. You Can't Afford To Miss This We are keeping "open house" to our friends. We have a special exhibit of Paige Sixes. You will find a striking scheme of decorations. You will find a special corps of trained Paige demonstrators who will give you valuable information in tlie designing, construction and operation of motor cars which you can't afford to miss. You will learn scientifically why Paige Sixes are the fastest selling Sixes on the market. There is no obligation of any kind. You will be our guest. You will be given a hearty welcome. And, we believe, you will be entertained and interested at our Paige Jubilee. Why A Paige Six Is Supreme ? You will answer that question for yourself after you have seen the world famous seven-passenger Six-tfl," and ridden in it, as we shall want you to do. You will marvel at the beauty and distinction of its lines, the harmony of its colors and red-trimmed run ning gear. You will marvel at the comfort of the easy-riding; of the genuine French glaze, hand-buffed leather and full hair upholstery; of the disappearing chairs in the tonneau. You will marvel at the amaz ing power and flexibility and silence of the Paige six cylinder motor. You will marvel at the supreme luxury and smartness and charm of this . splendid vehicle- ? and at the price $1309. But we want you to sec for yourself. That's why we invite you. And The Light Six In the exquisite five-passenger Hollywood ? 'the Paige Light "Six-3fl"? you will be equally interested ? the car that took the American motoring public by storm when it was introduced last June. It is in every detail, every essential, Psitfe' Quality, Paiges Elegance, Paige Value, and the pfice. Is 61005. 8o, come to the Paige Jubilee. PAICE-DKTROIT MOTOR CAR CO.
