WASHINGTON. NORTH CAROLINA, SEPT. 12. 1916.
Come to think of it, we would appreciate some information which
would enable us to determine just what team won the championship
in the Eastern Carolina League this year.
"t'se chicken* to make war on the boll weevil." ? headline. In
the main, we had always thought that chickens weri- used for making
war oil a fellow's bank account.
"Remember the Maine.*' will now become the cry of one party^
while the other will at once declare that yesterday's election meang
nothing.
"Somme fighting is halted." reads a headline. And some is not,
we suppose.
The President is at Shadow Lawn for a rest ; and there's no one in
the country but who will agree that he needs one.
A DIFFERENCE IX APPEARANCE.
The writer happened to be in (Greenville Sunday. While going
down the principal street, he could not help but notice the appear
a nee of this thoroughfare. Paper, peanut shells, small cardboarl
l*>xes and other refuse littered the street, sidewalks and gutters. It
was evident that it hail been several davB since any attempt had been
made cleaned.
And then, returning to Washington, the biggest kind of a eontrast
was in evidence. Not a piece of paper was to bo seen. The streets
and sidewalks were as clean as if no one ever used them. Everything
was neat and well-kept.
The strange part of it is. that before making the trip to Greenville,
mir own Greets leaped attention, but aftier seeing tilie sreers in the
rieighl)oring city, one could not help but note the difference. It is
oftentimes tieccKsarv to comjmre our own condition with that of our
neighl>ors' to thoroughly appreciate Washington.
Incidentally, our efficient street commissioner. "Bill" McDeviw'
deserves a little Iwxwt for rhe good work that he is doing.
THE ROAD WORK.
Th?* citizens of Washington township should rise up in rheir in
dignation ami demand tihat all further work on the read between
Kutiyou's Creek and the county home be stopper!. The money that
is being sjjent. on this road- is being literally wanted, as no improve
ment is lieing made and the work is going on under protest.
In yesterday's issue of tJie Daily News, we exiled attention, in a
mild way. to what had Uvn done, hoping that work <01 this road would
would !*? suspended until further i n vestigation could Im? made an<l
that a change in plans would \*c adopted. It was learned today that
instead of halting this work, IT IS MKING RFSHED TO COM
PLETION. It is evident rhat t?be commission fear* some alterati/m
in their plans and are therefore anxious to finish th?- work as soon a*
p*?ssiblc. This means rhat they are stubbornly determined to act a?
they fit. rfvardTees of whether their actions may have merit or
TVt.
In preceding in r.hc course which they have adopted, this com
mission lias given absolutely no consideration to Hbe needs of long
Acre township, which must of necessity join this i*md. The com
missioners of ?.he latter township had hoped to do away with the steep
irradc, which is in rhe old road, by building in a straight line from
the top of t.he hill on the east si<ie of Riinyon's Creek. Rut the com
mission disregarded all ot.her views, excepting their own, and went
aheml and did the work as they themselv<w thought best.
This is tr?o important a matter to he overlooked. The money, which
the people are paying in the hojie of having improved roads, is being
thrown to the winds iri this particular cane. Not a bit of g(*>d is
being" done. If this is allowed to proceed, it. will not onW cause bun
dreds of dollars tn be wasted in Washington township, but. it will
put an end to all future road building in Washington township for
vears to come.
THE VAM'K OF SCHOOL TRAINING.
On next Monday, the Washington public school will open for the
fall and winter term. Indications point to a new record in atten
dance, but, even l>efor< the figure* are made public, it is safe to sarv
tihat the majority of students in the high nchool will pn?vo to lie girls.
In the first, year of high scho< 1. the number of boys and girls is
usually even!" divided ; in the second year, the girls take the lead ; in
the third year this lead is even further increased and in the fourth
year, the average attendance usually is one boy to every four girls.
An interesting article on education wa? recently written by J. I).
Andrew, president of Catawlm. onllege, and it tells of the value of a
high sehool and college education. It reads as follows:
"It in said that there are in the United States 20,000,000
young men betwer-n the ages of 1 fS and 35 years. It is safe
to estimate tihat 10,000,000 of thewe are between 15 ami 25
years of age. Quite a number of these are in high school and
college. Hut the great nratvi of them, peHbaps, are pot in
school at, all. Horace Orooly ones said, "Young man, go
west." I would like to raise the question, "Why not go to
school ?'* Here are a few things for the young man to look
square in the face. The average wage or salary of tiie uped
ucated man in tiie United States is $450 a your. The aver
age salary of the high school graduate t? $1,000 a year and ^
man, suppose ittoxo .jo. $1,500 to p^Mtu from o.llege
and then you liao 40 ran and t*fm end rmm *8,000 *
year in salary. -What is the result! If voC do not fo to
school 1W eewinge. at die-end of 40 years are $18,000.
But if gow.graAfrte from ooUeje and g<* $3,000 a jeer yon
will have earned $80,000. The difference U $62,000 in
favor at die t-oJhjre man.

IE* ZEPPELINS 9St FT. 10111,
T! IE USED TO CM IK
Stated That Even Today, these Giant
Aircraft are Safer than Steamships
( It) ALBERT <3. TOWN KM)
London, Sept. 12. ? That the new
put and largeat Zeppelins which the
Germans are reported to be building
in such large numbers are not in
tended to be uaed primarily for war
purposes, but rather aerial mer
chantmen for trading with the Amer
icas, in the definite statement of Alex
andra Liwentaal, for some years con
sulting engineer to Count Zeppelin.
Mr. Liwentaal, who la a Bwls* by
birth, but a BrIUaher by nnturnllza
tlon. aald to a correspondent:
"The real Zeppelins are those of
the type that hgve lately flown orer|
Lake Constance^ They are nearly
as long a* the Lusltanla.
?These Zeppelin* are built for the
following purpose: Directly peace Is
aiRned. or probably before If the- war
Is greatly prolonged, they will depart
for the United fltates with despatches
mall* and enVoya who will be In real
ity commercial representatives. As
they are constructed to alight on
water and ars Independent of sheds,
they will alight In New York harbor
or similarly sheltered place.
"After th#y ftn*o landed their pas
senger! sad mall* they will take pn
gasoline and at a low altitude,
oyer the Unite* fetatee to. Mexloo and
South America and thus advertise the
commercial' prestige of Germany.
These gi^nt . Zeppelins can fly 280
days a year In safety. It la not gen
erally Known, that, even today, a Zop
pelin is a safer medium oT travel than
i a steamship!
"The real aim of the Zeppelin la
to secure the aerial , carriage of the
[world's mails. For years to come
they will only carry a few passen
gers, who will pay large sums to
reach some place ahead of all other
means of communication and, of
course, envoys and offlqlals."
Since my talk with Mr. Llwentaal.
the following dispatch has come from
Zurich.. Switzerland: ,
"The Thurgauer Zeltung I earns
from Rocaanshorn (on the southern
side of Lake Constance, nearly 'oppo
site Frlederichshaven). that the giant
Zeppelin has been .seen from there
making the flrst trial*. This latest
monster of the air differs somewhat
in shape from previous Zepfeellns. It
M 960 feet long and weighs about
twenty toss.
"It Is fitted with seven very powr
erful motors sod is armed wltb. ma
chine guns, g cannon snd with appa
ratus for launching .bombs and tor
pedoes. The maeklae 1s capable of

m&tlam and inldgestion, from which
1 Buffered for two year*," Mr*. 7T. C.
Hagwood, 118 Firwood avenue, Ral
eigh, told the Tanlac man. "I could
not eat meat or vegetables for If I
did 1 would suffer pains and dBltrees
aoon afterward. Gas pressed around
my heart and caused fluttering. 1
couldn't lay on my left side; 1 was
nervous and everything was a drag
with me. Physicians failed to offer
reMef. f
"But now 1 feel real young again.
I am hungry all the time and am glad
for I can satisfy my appetite with
out fear of those terrible after ef
fects. I enjoy good, sound sleep; j
nervousness has lert; 1 am gaining
strength right along; hare added
three pounds In weight and rheumar
tism has been relieved. If It wasn't
myself who gained this way I could
n't believe Tanlac bo great."
