MAYO Proprietoh CAP.L GOERCH Editor WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, OCT. 18, 1910. TIIE FIGHT IS ON. In yeeterdav'a issue of the Daily News thero was carried the first church advertisement that haa ever appeared in any paper in North Carolina. The advertisement was forcible in language and showed that the religious workers of the city are going to fight the carnival with the principal weapon of the latter, ? publicity. But, unlike most other tights and combats, the ''spectators," ? the people, in other words ? play the principal part. They are the ones who will decide which is to be the victor: God and His work or the devil and his amusements. When they stay away from the church services, they are doing their part in helping to defeat the cause of Christ in this world. When they attend the carnival they help the devil in hi9 work. It is a matter which each one must decide for himself or herself. There is no question but that the inclination of the majority of our people ia to attend the carnival. That fact may be taken for granted. But, whether they are gilig to allow their love for a few minutes' pleasure to overcome their religious zeal and their sense of duty to our churches, ia something which remains to l>e seen. It hardly seems possible that our citizens would foresake the church es of God in our own city to pour their money into the coffers of strangers who are here for a few days only and who care uothin, about them, except to get their money. With which aide are you going to line up? REFUSE TO GIVE FAIR PLAY. For the last few days the Daily News has been carrying a series of articles under the heading. "Campaign Issues Portrayed bv Prominent Men." These article* are written for the Democratic National Com*] mittee by George Creel and for the Republican National Committee by George G. Hill. They are suit out by the United Press and they I bring out some interesting arguments and contentions. In Kinston there is another paper which takes the United Press service and which receives the same articles that are mentioned above. Instead of printing both siiles, however. this paper promi nently displays the' story by Creel and no sign can be found of Hill's, piece. It probably went into the wastcpaper basket. This is putting Democracy in the state in a false light. It iinme-j diatelv gives the impression that there is danger of the Republicans 1 winning out in North Carolina. For what other reason could the j Republican article have been suppressed? Tlu> Kinston paper drlil> cratelv shows that it is not publishing a paper that will give the news from both parties to its readers. It gives the intimation that it is .. afraid to do so. And so the readers of that paper are forced to con- ! tent themselves with getting only half the news. We fail to see where this benefits either the paper or the party which is given the publicity. FOR TIIE RELIEF OF U X FORTC X ATES. President Wilson, through a proclamation, has sot aside Saturday, October 21, and Sunday, October 22, as joint days upon which t lis people of the United Stares may make such contributions as they foci disposed for the aid of the stricken Syrian and Armenian people. The condition of those people today is indescribable. They are erring for bread. They kill and eat the dog* that roam about on the street. Up to now all fed themselves with grass, but that too is now dried up. They fight for the clotted blood of killed animals ; they gnaw the bones which they find on the duller hills : they look for grain* of oats in horse-dung, to eat them ; they eat the flesh of fallen animals and mfn. Many, who cannot boar it any longor, throw themselves and their children into the Euphrates. The grave diggers are always busy. The general conditions arc too horrible to describe. The suffering of the babies and voting chil dren is especially horrible. Ft is to relieve this condition that the above two days have been set aside by Mr. Wilson. And Beaufort county wants to do her part. We hope that tho contributions will be liberal. We also trust that every church will take up a special offering on Sunday for the relief of these suffering peoples. TFIE TICK'S TAX. The Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Deportment of Agriculture says that tho cattle rick has been in the South ever sincf there were cattle for if to feed upon. It has fattened on the blood of Southern cattle that should ha-ve gone to the making of beef and milk and in return it lias killed with splenetic or tick fever fhe animals that fed it. It bus made our cattle into scrubs and prevent ed the introduction of pure-bred dairy and l>oef animals, for in a ticky country no man is willing to risk his money in high-priced stock. The United Statea Department of Agriculture has estimated t.lio annual loss to the country from the cattle tiek at from $10,000,000 to $100,000,000. These figures, however, mean very littlo for no man can calculate the benefits that will come to the South with the extinc tion of this post. The essential point. is that, in a tick infested coun try- every cattle owner is taxed by the tick in proportion to the sizn of his herd. Every animal is levied on; there are no exceptions. It. is a mistake to imagine that cattle become immune to the tiek. Every year hundreds of thousand* of supposedly immune cattle die from splenetic fever for which the tick alone is responsible. And each of ' those that survives suffers in other ways. Tho tick feeds on all eat tie alike, immune and non-immune. It cuts down the weight and lowers the quality of beef animals and reduces the milk flow of dairy herds. This tick-tax lfa<* l*v?n collected so long that the people have grown ! accustomed to it. That is a poor reason for continuing to pay it. however. Out of 72K.M3 square miles that were tick infested in 1 1906 and placed under Federal quarantine on that, account. 284,521 ? considerably more than omvfhird ? have since been freed from the paAf, and released from quarantine. What has been done in tho*e srpas can be done whereroT and whenever the people want, it done. Th?rfc is ho more reason why a county should suffer from the tick than'fMM AmsTlppx, A little* trouble ? a slight investment ? will dis pose of both. | WHY WASHINGTON PARK IS ALMOST DUST FREE Snmmcr brwim are montly from the south east.

A Sermon on Farming Some farmers are wide awake. They look ahead, plan ahead, get ahead. Others are oontent to drift along. Some "do things'' themselves and profit from the exper ience of others who have already ''done things." Others don't do, don't profit and never have anything. Some are willing to look into and try anything that offers a reasonable promise of greater profits. They aooomplish things and in time have money to lend. Others are skeptical, oan see nothing good in new inventions or projeots, live and die in the old rut, and their ohildren eventually pay off the mortgage .
