WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1917. Greensboro News: "At least one -German intrigue has been expoeed in (which Bernatorff didn't figure." We ov erlooked that one. Pleaie ibe more specific. Says a newa dispatch ' A miomarme irtotherehip hat been bit-It in the Netherlands." Must be a terrible aort of affair if any credit hie it for the undersea monster. The Allied p wtrs seem to be more determined than ev en to sea to it that peace proposals, to be acceptable mimt coma directly from Berlin and that one of the chief pro vision must he "O-U-T spells out and be gone," for the Kaiser and his letinue of clerks. The consideration shown Gaston Means, when ar nested on a "harge of being implicated in the killing of Mrs. King, which so locked the feature writers from the big metropolitan papers, Is no indication that the jury will rot give careful consideration to the weight of the evi dence when the trial is had. The trouble with the rough and fedirvglesw method of the officers in the North in handling men charged with crime is that It is largely based on the assumption that every man is guilty ,vhen the law holds him Innocent until he has been prov en to tho contrary. FARMERS' OPPORTUNITIES. There is no indication of a let-up in the tobacco sales on the Kinsten market. Approximately ten million launch have been sold and more money has already been taid to the tobacco farmers in this section than has been paid tb them ir any one season heretofore. The official rigures for the aales week ending Friday, Srptember 21, given out by Secretary Speed of the To Sacco Board of Trade, show that 9t298,416 pounds vcre 'old and that ?2(tm,!21.72 was paid for it. The sales for the week ending September 21, were 2,104,120 pcumls at an average of $20.73 or $ti25,l56.85. That mearu that more thtn a hundred thousand dollar were put in the hands of the farmer every one of the five selling days for the week. The amount of money already paid tout to the farmer of this tection for tobacco this season la more than has ever been pail in an entire season heretofore. .Anum- 'ng that the jk uruk sold will approximate the same fig urei of the 1915 and 1916 seasons, it means that the to bacco crop will bring ibetrween two and one half and three times as much in 1917 as it did in 1915 and prnct'clly twice as much 'n 1917 as in 1916. Such returns have in them the possibilities of g'n-ilne prosperity. The sellers the farmers halve it within their reach this year to improve thekr condittons as never before, perhaps. By wisely and judiciously expending the big surplus that they are receiving for their crop they can buy land, that is, those who dlo not own their farms; they can improve the buildings on their place and add to their equipment or they can "salt away" a nice little nest e-gu for a rainy day. The possibilities are wrapped up ir- the proceeds from farm products in this .rood year of 1917 as never befwe. Wise will be the men who avail themseHes of the opportunities which are now present, but which like other good one may not remain for tomorrow. The esteemed Creensborto News is advocating another 'lipartment houcc Well, for our part, Greensboro or any :ther place is welcome to ull the apartment houses that they want, but we hope that the apartment method yf living will not invade Kinston for some years to rome, not jntil Falling Creek and LaGrange on the West, Dover on the East, P nk Hill on the 'South and Snow Hill on the North are anw ed for the location of desirable, homelike residences, whero the little fellows can put their feet on the ground and roll on the grass at will. The apartment bouse is ell riht for a roost for old bachelors But they Ought to be in France now. Information coining from Washington that Fuel Admin istrator Garfield ic to make formal announcement of the retail soft coal prices within the next few days gives re newed hope to the shivering multitudes who are deferring the purchase of their winter's supply pending the fixing of a ,ower prfce, which has been promised even in spite of the fact that the weather man seems to be in "cohoot" vith the coal man.

There is no prospect oi prices going down for some time after the war is over. Go ahead and let your contracts. ,When it comes to the roof you can make a real saving, and get a better roof by specifying Certain-teed Roofing CERTAIN-TEED is not cheaper because the quality is lower, but because it is a less expensive roofing to manufacture. It is better, not only because it is cheaper, but also because it is light weight, weather-tight, clean, sanitary, firc-rctaxdant and costs practically nothing to maintain. It it now recognized as the preferable type of roofing for office buddings, factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, Baraees, farm buildings etc., where durability is necessary. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years, accord ing to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). Twrl!pift!00,inp n mk, only one to Uy a CLRTA1N-TELD roof than it does to lay a poor roof, but there it a vast difference in the wear. You can't tell the quality of a roofing by looks or feel.

(Special to The Free Press) Washington, D. C, Sept. 2. That little or no tonsil it is hus developed among the thousands of United Mates marines now in training at a Southern camp, is due, medical authorities say, to the caution of ex amining physicians at recruiting sta tions. An applicant with enlarged tonsiils will rtot be accepted in the Marine Corps, as it has been pointed out that tonailitis is more than a "mere ail ment" and in a military camp will- spread rapidly. Medical research workers have discovered that tonsi- litis is the "base" of numerous dis eases, among which are inflammation of the Joints und heart, the latter of ten proving fatal. CM NEBRASKA POTASH BUSINESS PERMANENTLY ESTABLISHED Lincoln, Nebraska, Sept 26. Ne braska's potash lakes re doing their bit in this war and plants for work ing the jnotash from the waters of the lakes are springing up in West ern Nebraska like mushroom towns in a new mining region. Plenty of capital is offered to finanve the pro jects, xd the work is not to lie dis counted after the war, a wording to those engaged in the business. A university of Nebraska prcfea- sor discovered that the dakes in the sand hill region of East Alliance, Nebraska, were heavy with potash in suspension. Plants r rvr.iv f work working the potash from this water. l . . t? For Sale Over 100 lr Tnh. farms in Beaufort and Martin Counties.
