October 28, 1914 Mr. Farmer: Remember that Kin- s ton's tobacco market is the best to be had, and getting better every day. If called upon to referee the Eu ropean scrap, we would unqualifiedly top the blows and announce a "draw " without fear of being censured by public opinion anywhere. - The new banking system goes into operation November 1(5 and it is thought by Secretary McAdoo and other financial experts that it will be the means of affording considerable relief to the South. Here's hoping. Alfonso and Victoria of Spain are bringing on a small army of princes Their fourth son arrived Saturday. A great many sons will have to be born to Europe before the numbers, decimated by the terrible carnage now in progress, are again brought to their quota. Did you read the "address to the people" upon the Amendments, printed in Saturday's Free Press? If not look up your copy and glance over the list of signatures. You'll find, re gardlesa of what party you are affili ated witfi, the leaders of your clan on the roll. The amendments stand for progress and modernizing. Do you? It is terrible to contemplate what condition the South, and all other cuwHnn. if ihm nnntrv fnr that mat. ter, would have been in by now if the stand patters and Wall Street money sharks had retained control of the country. When you think of the present depression cheer up with the consoling realization thut it might have been FAR WORSE. V"--" 1 1. FREE PRESS TO BE ENLARGED. The work of erecting our new press begins today and, if all things work smoothly, the first papers will be printed from it the latter part of this or the first of next week. With the new machine a larger paper will cqme. Seven columns instead of six as at present columns to be twenty one inches long instead of twenty as 4. - TU 1 f ...Ml not be increased, but the enlargement will virtually amount to another j uire of the present size. The Npeed of the new press is four thousand an horn- as compared with one thousand with the present equipmert. This will, as it can be readily seen, reduce the press time to a fourth of what it is now and thus enable the paper to be delivered in the afternoons al most an hour eurlier than it is possi ble to do now. The larger Saturday edition will be continued, and the "Trey 0' Hearts" series, MarKui-ct Mason's clothes chit chat, Sheridun's sport letter, Shepherd's war stories and other features will be given. The subscription price will remain the same. With the installation of the new press it will be possible to en large the Hize of the paper as the daily requirements may justify, und the serious handicap that confronts lis now in accommodating all the nut ter which we want to print will be largely obviated. The policy of The Free Press is to improve its service just as rapidly good business justifies and the s'dl- j dition of the Cox Duplex press to the splendid No, 8 model Linotype ma chine, already installed under ' the new management, ' represents an In vestment in new equipment to carry out that policy of more than ten thousand dollars.

The first general elections for Unit ed States senators, under the new law, providing for direct vote of the people, will be held this fall. Many States have voted for their senators for some years, but their choice had to be ratified by their respective leg islatures in order to comply with the Federal law. North Carolina will elect on November 3, a senator under the new law. Hon. Lee Slater Over man, the junior senator, is a candi date to succeed himself and he stands on his record, which is a long and most creditable one. Mr. Overman has, like Mr. Underwood and other faithful servants of the people, stay ed in Washington "on the job" at tending to the work for which he was elected and for that reason has not been able to come to the State and build up his "fences." It ought not to be necessary for him to come. The people like to see and hear their public men, and it is right that they should have such opportunities, but not at the expense of the public work. Senator Overman has done just what he ought to have done in the circum stances, and the electorate of the State should show its appreciation of a worthy and faithful representative by giving him a "handsome" vote. The Asheboro Courier, edited by District Attorney W. C. Hammer, re viewed Mr. Overman's record in a re cent issue, pointing out the valuable service thut he had rendered, and the ranking position among his col leagues to which he had attained. This is but one of the many endorse ments that have been given him. President Wilson has taken occasion to speak in behalf of Mr. Overman, paying him a splendid compliment and expressing a wish that the people of North Carolina rally to his sup port in the coming election. Senator Overman has served the State since 1901 and now is ranked by only four Democratic senators. He is the chairman of one of the Sen ate's most important committees, namely "The Judiciary," and is in po sition to give the, State great -and i f 1 1 powerful service. Let the people en dorse him with a very positive as surance of their full appreciation of his work. - I linnrni tr nnirriirniT l , .1 l.

Examination Free Phone 80 SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY To Shippers and Receivers of Freight in North Carolina: Attention is called to revised tar iffs containing rates for the transpor tation of freight between points in North Carolina, effective October lo, 1914. These tariffs are issued in sic cordance with the decision of the Special Rate Commission, dated Aug ust 13, 1914. -All freight tariffs of the Southern Railway Company in conflict with the provisions of thi3 order have been canceled or revised to conform to the rates, rules and regulations prescrib ed by the Sqecial Rate Commission. Special attention is called to the fact that in the application of this new law, many important changes and new conditions are brougnt about, the knowledge of which is essential to every shipper and receiver of freight in North Curolina. Ordinar ily there is but one rate between any two points within the State. Under the new law there will be as many r:ites between two given points as there are available routes between such points. A new basis for mak ing joint rates with other lines is provided and the shipper has the right 10 select the shortest available route. Some of these routes, while physically shorter than others, are longer from the standpoint of effi cient service, and the movement of freight via these unusual routes will necessarily require more time than if sent via more efficient routes. Shippers should in all cases insert in the bill of lading the route over which it is desired that the shipment move. If shipments are tendered to agents of this company and destined to a point on its own line, but with out specific routing instructions, it will be assumed that it is the desire of the shipper that the shipment move over the Southern Railway at its law fully established rate, even though a lower rate may be in force via anoth er route. For further information apply to the agent of this company at this station or to the following officers: MR. HAMILTON BAXTER, Di Frt, Agent, Greensboro, N. C. MR, J. H. ANDREWS, .. DiT. Frt.
