WASHINGTON, NOimi CAROLINA, JAN. 13, 1916.
Jan? Addams declare? that Europe is anxious for peace. Why
don't they quit fighting then ?
A man in Greenville was sent to the roads for two years on the
charge of retailing. Evidently, the jurors over in Pitt courity are
of a different typo from those in Beaufort. ,
The Presbyterian Sunday School has started a membership cam
paign. By tho time the Vanguard and the Baraca classes get through
with their campaigns, they will have coralled practically every man
in tho city.
After T'ni'lc Sum gets things straightened out in Europe and ev
erything running Miioothly again, along comes Villa and his followers
in Mexico uud stir lip more trouble.
THE BENEFIT OF ECONOMY.
At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night, before
the session was called to order, an interesting discussion took placo
among certain of the members regarding the practice of economy in
foreign countries and the wasteful extravagance in our own.
In illustrating his point, one of tho gentlemen present declared
that it cost New York City three million dollars a year to clean her
streets, while in Hamburg, the street department MAKES A PRO-,
FIT out of its work. In the latter city all of the rubbish is accum-'
ilated and then separated. All of tlie glass is taken out, all of the
metal is colleeU?d, the paper is gathered up, the ashes are sold an 1
the sweepings and decayed vegetation is used for manure. In this
way, enough funds aro raised to more than pay the cost of keeping
Hamburg in tli neatest and cleanest condition.
In connection with this, another gentlemau at the meeting made
the statement that he had tried the same thing on a small scale in
Washington. He used the wood and paper for getting up steam in
his plant in the morning and lie used the ashes to advantage. He
stated that he had no doubt but that every small city, if it. went alnnit
the natter in the right, way. could practically pay for the cost of
maintaining its street department.
There is no doubt but that we are wasteful and extravagant. We
spend three times the amount for luxuries that? Germany does; we
waste million? in running our government and we lose hundreds of
thousands every year in the manipulation of our industries and man-j
ufaetiiries. Economy is but another word for efficiency and it is
Lv.i "f rlieir economy that the Germans are so efficient in the
pre. it wjr. I
T FT E GOLDS BORO LYNCHING.
Tt has remained for Wayne county to be the first to put a large'
Mot on the records of North Carolina for 1910. A mob of two hun
dred tnen yesterday broke into the county jail, took out a negro
prisoner and after lyncbing hiin, riddled his Itody with bullet*.
The entire affair is a disgrace of tlio deepest kind to the State. It
is one of those affairs of which the perpetrators are hard to punisii
and it will b a general surprise if the identity of the men is learned.
The citizen* of Goldsbom have not only disgraced their town and
their comity, but Wave (Tist a reflection upon the State and the entire
South.
WHERE WILL IT END?
At the rate at which present events are progressing, it will not be
lung before every nation in the world will l?e united to the teeth with'
the moat modern guns and equipment, the largest armies and the
most powerful navies whieh t.hev are capable of obtaining. The
extent of military preparation at the present time is amazing rfnd the
it^n who has studied the situation <-annot help but ask: Where will
it all end ?
Here in our own country we are setitng the pace for the other
conntrie- that are at present at peace. We are plunnirig to build a
navy sicond to none in the world and to increase our army to many
times its present strength.
Japan is following close in our footsteps and is yearly making
larger appropriations for army and navy purposes. Her navy is
being adder] to with regularity and her anny is among the most
efficient in the world.
Norway and Swed^ji are at the present time giving more attention
to their military atTairs than they have ever done in the past.
China has adopted compulsory military service and has already
begun increasing her anny.
What does it all mean ? Where will it end ? What is to be the
ontcome of this stupendous preparation for warfare? Each country
is trying to outstrip the other. As fast as one gets ahead in the size
'if it# anny or navy, the others immediately do their utmost to attain
an equal basis. Every year more money is devoted for military and
naval purposes. Is this to go on forever?
We are throwing aside our ideas of Christianity and civilization.
We are possessor! <d an unreasonable fear. * Few seem to be able to
grasp t!5e meaning of the situation. "More money ! More men for
the army! Greater guns! Larger and more powerful ships!" All
these cries are ringing from one end of the country to the other. Wo
aro going insane in the matter. We^tre deliberately planning our
own ruin and destruction. The war in Europe has set the entire
World afire on the subject of military preparation. THEY ARE
ALL PREPARING ! But for what ? *
No one knows. No one seems to care.

Solution of Transportation Problem a
Pressing Need of the Nation
By President WOODROW WILSON
THE transportation problem is an exceedingly serious and pressing one
in this country. There has from time to time of late been reason
to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to cope
with it successfully as at present equipped and co-ordinated* I suggest
that it would be wise to provide for a commission of inquiry to ascertain
by a thorough canvass of the whole question whether our laws as at
I present framed and administered are as serviceable as they might be in
the solution of the problem.
IT 18 OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT LIKS AT THE VERY FOUN
DATION OF OUR EFFICIENCY AS A PEOPLE.
1 The regulation of the railways of the country by federal commission
has had admirable results and has fully, justified the hopes and expecta
tions of those by whom the policy of regulation was originally proposed.
The question is not, What should we undo? It is whether there is any
thing else we can do that would supply as with effective means in the
very process of regulation FOR Blvi. T&RINQ THE CONDITIONS
UNDER WHICH THE RAILROADS ARE OPERATED AND FOR
MAKING THEM MORE USEFUL SERVANTS OF THE COUN
TRY AS A WHOLE.

Increase of American Trade Due to Merit
of Its Products
By WILLIAM C RED FIELD, Secretary of Commerce
IN the years before the war we had no banks abroad, no companies
1 through whom to invest abroad, no strong, Durely commercial gov
| emment organization abroad. We lacked, inaeed, most of the facili
ties through which our competitors gained their trade, yet the pure merit
I of American goods and the power of American brains BUILT UP FOR
| US A GREAT FOREIGN TRADE UNTIL WE BECAME ONE OF
THE BIG THREE IN THE WORLD'S MARKETS.
I Now we arcr getting the tools with which to work. The war haa bo
! operated as greatly to increase our business good* will all over the world.
We are beginning to believe in ourselves and to realize that foreign trade
is as necessary to the farmer, the miner and the railroad worker of the
interior as it is to the export merchant of tlie ai-uport town. War, too,
has done us good in a sense by taking our vision away from ourselves and
making us see things in the large.
Now we know we have * giant's strength, but we have proved that we
have no desire to use it like a giant.
WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT WE YEARN, RATHER, TO U8E
IT FOR THE HAPPINESS OP OUR PEOPLE AND THE GOOD OP HU
MANITY.

ments in roads, our tobacco markets growing rapidlv, drainage improvements. Western development and capital coming
in, and with Eastern Carolina Tobacco Belt Farmers, buying our^.chcaper tobacc^ lands here, improved lands from
$25 to $50 an acre, that in their counties sell from $50 to $100 on acre, we are safe in stating that values will double
in fhn?- yours. Fortunes are being made daily in real estate, a?fd yon had bettor get on the "Hand Wagon." The
v j
?a f chi investment in North Carolina today is real estate in Beaufort County, at the present pri?*. High prices * re ,,j|
coming rapidly. If you wait until tomorrow it may be too late. ^ -
We offer the following, arid can honestly, state that it is the biggest bargain in Beaufort County today. Come

good frontage on county ron<i, about 75 per cent good high land, light gray' soil, with clay subsoil, and Rood natural
drainage, and 25 per cent good rich fertile awamp land, which can be drained, with hand ditches. This tract will cut
3000 feet of mill sizo pine timber per acre, stumpage cheap at $3 per thousand, timber value on tliia tract is worth
around *10 an acre; that is mill timber now, with splendid yonng growtfi. With timber cut off this laud is worth
$15 an acre then. Fine farming land for improvement. Adjoins Nicholson lands, with same character of limber,
now bringing $4. Will take $7.50 an acre tt>d reserve timber throe years or will take $15 an acre land in tL pay
