There were being built in Lenoir county iill be argument before the house judiciary j of course, other restaurants which ; amply strong to take care of If we don't have another war be fore we have finished paying for the last one the prospects are fine for a durable peace. Germany would be perfectly willing to keep her obligations u sne keep her money at the same time. The census bureau informs us that there are 13,703,987 alien-born persons roaident in the United states, cut u does not undertake to say how many unmelted hyphens there are in the lot. Th C!hntaunua we have with us 5 days Morning, afternoon and evening. The attendance is expected tn he laree. for this is a larger Chau- tjniniiH. with entertaining features. The lrveal guarantors are of course in terested in the gate receipts, but they put their names on the dotted line tnat their town might have entertainment f the kind afforded bv the L.hautau quas. The bigger the crow in the big tent in rearvH'nson's Garage the greater will be the endorsement of the movement for entertainment of the right sort each year . The strong point about the enter tjiinment furnished bv the Chautau mm "svndicates is that it is clean and elevating. The people must be amused. They feel they have a ngnt to seen diversion and likewise a duty to do so, since recreation is necessary to a well rounded, woll balanced life. Conse nuentlv. it is un to those who want to be helpful to provide diversion that is helDful and uplifting rather than harmful and degrading. Said a farmer the other day. "They sav labor is nlentiful now, but the still hnds tew looking lor jobWthe farm, and why is this a fact with many wanting a job, he conclud ed. If anybody wants a job why not let us farmers know about it. for there are nlentv of jobs on the farm, and when the vears work is over a farm worker will have as much or more than some who find a job half of the time elsewhere. True farm work rather strenuous but it is healthful and food is plentiful, and there is gen erallv plenty to do all of the time; and too life on the farm is growing more desirable, the schools are getting to be as good as they are in the city. President Harding finds it again ad visable to follow the path blazed out bv his predecessor, so he authorizes Ambassador Harvey to sit in the al lied supreme council as his personal rwresentative, while Henry Wallace United States Ambassador to Paris until relieved bv the newly appointed ambassador, Myron T. Herrick, will resume his seat as an official observer on the council of ambassadors, and Roland W Boyden, Boston lawyer, will resume his work as the American rep resentative on the reparation com mission. Thus President Harding again adopts one of those erstwhil despised "Wilson policies," which the Republican press and Republican statesmen so delighted to fulminate against before election. Of course the adoption of these policies by Republican President automatically cleanses and purifies them and makes them wholly proper. argument before the house judiciary committee Thursday by Rev. R. L. Davis, of North Carolian, who appear ed as one of many witnesses at the hearings of the Volstead bill to amend the national prohibition law. Mr. Davis, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league in North Carolina, supported the Volstead proposal tofor bid the prescribing of beer as medi cine, asserted that North Carolina is "tightening up" in its enforcement of prohibition, and said that the Me Cuiston murder was an index of why there must be strict enforcement. The North Carolina "dry" leader said it was impossible to bring about pro hibition by "weaning" the drinkers. He predicted that not a physician in North Carolina would be willing to say that beer is medicine. He also con demned patent medicines with a high alchohc content. Although claimed to be non- potable," said Mr. Davis, "my expe rience in North Carolina and the ex perience of many others is that they are potable and are drunk by people until tney can neither carry them selves nor the booze they have aboard.'' " The tightening of prohibition en forcement in North Carolina within the past two weeks, said Mr. Davis, has brought the death of four block- aders and one brave police officer One faithful man, a' policeman in the city of Greensboro," he said, "was shot down from the running board of an automobile when he called upon them , to stop. In that machine were 46 gallons of whisky. One of the men was murdered or rather killed by another officer anl since then two men have been declared outlaws. For one a reward of $500 is offered and for another $250. North Carolina has come to the conclusion that we have got to deal very strictly with this sort of liquor traffic.'' STATE TREASURER LACY COMES WITH "HOT SHOT'' FOR CRAVEN (By R. E. Powell in Charlotte bsei- ver.) Raleigh, May 17. "Major Bruce Craven ft an old fashioned, common ordinary, everyday liar," State Treas urer Ben Lacy in commenting upon charge that the state has borrowed a minion dollars in New York at nine per cent. To the contrary , says Mr. Lacy tne state nas Dorrowed no money in New York save a loan made during session of the legislature for refund ing outstanding debts. The implica tion in the recent Craven broadside at the governor and the council of state was that money had been bor rowed tor permanent improvements on roads at nine per cent. Upon inquiry at state departments today it developed that the most recent loan, that of a half million dollar for the state sanatorium, was made thru the Page Trust company, of Aberdeen, and made at a rate of six per cent. Loans other than this have been of comparatively small amounts and for building or maintenance at state in stitutions. : There was every indication at the executive offices today that the Crav en assault in one of the state dailies is not a popular form of miblicitv. Not only has the old Trinity man per verted facts but he has repeated the offiense, it is declared. No bonds, so far, have been 'sold by the state and no money borrowed for any nart of the big program authorized by the last general assembly. strong to take care of loads of catered to colored men and colored 10 to 11 ton. From this, it is evident women. Four negroes, to whom ser- that ample provision has, as before vice waarefused, brought suit against said, been made in the existing laws. the ladv who kept the restaurant and she was made to pay $100 to each of the negroes who brought suit. There are some legal rights which if insist ed upon bring race clashes and race feelings, and the wise negroes prefer to patronize the restaurant establish ed for them, generally by their own race, just as they go to hotels conduct ed for negro patrons. Commenting upon the outcome of this case and the proper course that should be pursued in New York and elsewhere, the Times says editorially: Kinston Free Press. MENTAL ARITHMETIC "Now, then, Johnny," said the teacher, "if your father gave you seven cents and your mother gave you six and your uncle gave you four more, what would you have?" Johnny wrinkled up his forehead and went into the silence for the space of several minutes "Come, come," said the teacher im patiently. "Surely you can solve isewnere, me i lmes says euiwnaiij . , - . . .-, . -- - - , Of course, the law is clear, and, thel slmf'e !tUe problem like that fact of refusal to serve having been proved, the court could do nothing but inflict the fine. The triumph of the insistent four, however, will not change the fact that white sentiment here is overwhelmingly against the close association of the two races in place" of public entertainment, and should the example and success of these litigants lead others of their color to make similar assertion of their rights in hotels and restaurants, they certainly will create an amount ,and kind of feeling which will be neither profitable to the black folk nor conductive to their happiness. Everybody has rights that it is un wise to exercise, but what always is wise is to live at peace with ones neighbors if it can be done without too much inconveniences and with no real sacrifice of honor or dignity. Also, as a general rule, it is well not to go where one Is unwelcome, even when the lack of welcome is due to preju dice. To do it only makes the prejudice stronger tends, if anything to turn into a reasonable dislike. It ain't a simple problem at all." replied the boy. "I can't make up my mind whether I'd have an ice-cream The mystery about the "Big Ber thas," which shelled Paris from a dis tance of 75 miles during the war, has been solved. The Allied officers who have been trying to find out why guns of the supposed dimensions were not surrendered bv the Germns under the treaty, and why they could find no trace of them anywhere in the war area, have at last discovered that the "supergun" never existed. The shells that fell into the streets of Paris were fired by ordinary naval guns of twelve or fourteen inches. The barrels were strengthened by introducing a steel bushing that reduced the caliber to about nine inches, and the breeches were reinforced by a massive steel jacket. In guns thus strengthened double charge of explosive could be used; and by making the shells longer ajid more pointed, and by grooving them to fit the rifling, several additi onal miles were gained. Guns so built have never before been used because artillerists have never been before been willing to sacrifice accuracy to distance. The "Big Berthas" were not accurate and did not need to be, for the Germans were firing at a mark several miles wide. So long as they hit some part of the city of Paris they . were saushed, for their object was merely to spread terror among the! Parisians. As it was, several of their shots missed the target altogether and fell some distance away from the city Youths Companion. Read this very careful as it is worth something to you. BEGININ6 Friday, May 20th WE HAVE ARRANGED WITH THE I Bijou THEATRE TO GIVE WITH EACH PURCHASE AMOUNT ING TO FIVE CENTS OR MORE A TICKET WORTH 10 CENTS ON YOUR ADMISS- IF FORCED, GERMANY WILL PAY The final acceptance by Germany of the allied ultimatum, after many months of evasion and bluff, is a com plete fulfillment Of expectations. Hav ing exhausted every resource of delay and equivocationt having squirmed, whined and howled without avail, Germany yielded at the eleventh hour to the one argument which her states men seem capable of understanding force and when the jig was up, sign ed on the dotted line. Of course, the allies are under no misapprehensions as to German good faith in thus yielding to the inevitable. The allies fully understand that Ger many's acceptance of the treaty of Versailles will be regarded as merely another "scrap of paper if, in the fullness of time, Germany feels her self able to repuidate the document. But the allies will take good pains to see that Germany is given no opportu nity to recant her bad bargain. Thare will be a watchful eye on Germany every day every hour during the ful fillment of those terms to which she has given such grudging assent, and there will be the exaction of sufficient guarantees as to make it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for Uer many to evade a compliance substan tially with the terms laid down. And, in spite of the heavy payments she must make, Germany comes out of the war in far better shape than France. There is nothing to prevent Germany's economic recovery and the rebuilding of her industrial and com mercial power to something approach ing her former position among the nations, if she goes about it in good faith instead of devoting her energies and resources to new schemes of re pudiation, conquest and revenge. DOCTOR WHO SPEAKS FOR BEER IS HANDLED ROUGH Washington, May 12 Scenes of the days when the drys were batling to put John Barleycorn outside the pala of law were re-enacted todav before the house judiciary committee except tnat lew iriends or John's family ap peared to protest against Chairman Volstead's plan to cut off, even for medicinal purposes, the heritage of beer. Plenty of drys were on hand, wear ing their old-time fighting clothes an 1 Dr. John P. Davin, of New York, who pieaaed tor the use of beer as medi cine, was given none too cordial treat ment. In fact, he was roughly handled by Mr. Volstead, who with some show of feeling challenged the physician's ability to "explain anything," and or: another occasion declared the witness was using a "conglomeration of words that mean nothing.'' HAKK1SOIN MAKES ATTACK ON TARIFF UNEVENNESS. ION TO SEE PROVISION ALREADY MADE In Wednesday's Free Press reference was made to a suggestion in the Greensboro News in regard to limiting , the weight of motor vehicles to be permitted to use the highways and the opinion was expressed that such necessary restrictions ought to be pro vided without delay, m this connec tion, Chairman E. V. Webb, of the Le noir highway commission calls The Free Press's attention to a section in the state road law passed in the ses sion of 1921, which seems to make all necessary provision. Section 30 of the state road law reads: 'Any person, firm or corpora tion that is operating any motor vehi cle upon any highway in the state, without license, as is required under this act, shall be guilty of a misdem eanor and fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court. No motor, or other vehicle or trailer having a great er rateu weignt ot both vehicle and load exceeding seven and a half tons, shall go over or to be operated upon ..jr swilc mgnway. Any person, firm or corporation violating the pro vision of this section shall be uilty of a misdemeanor." Mr. Webb further advised The Free Following is an extract from the Federal Reserve Board's general re view of business and financial condi tions for the month of April: Extreme unevenness in price reduc tions, however, is one of the striking features in the present industrial sit uation. While in many important lines of wholesale trade pre-war prices exist, in other lines commodi ties are being sold at twice or even more than twice the 1913 values. The same unevenness exists between raw materials and the finished products in the same industry. Raw cotton is lower than the 1913 level and wool is about a third higher than before the war, but cotton jgoods are at least 20 per cent, higher than in 1913 and woolen cloth is approximately twice as high as" the pre-war level. In the hide and leather industry, the discrepancy ia even greater, the present price of skins being one-third under pre-war levels, while the price of shoes is twice as high as in 1913. Declare "Cure-All" Tariff Is Wronir Method For Helping The Nation Washington, May 7. Futher con sideration of the emergency tariff bill today by the Senate was marked by tne introduction of two additions amendments and an attack on the measure by Senator Harrison, Demo crat, Mississippi. Senator Ashurst. Arizona, nronosed tnat tne duty of 7 cents a pound on long staple cotton be increased to 20 cents, while Senator Jones, Democra, New Mexico, moved for a tariff of fif teen per cent ad valorem on all im portation of hides. The amendments will be taken up later. in his attack on the bill. Senator Harrison told the Senate Congress was pursuing the wrong course in seeking to remedy the country's economic ills by use of a "cure-all" tariff. He declared that the average farmer desired the government to make "more available" such agencies tor nis aid as it now has rather than to waste futher time on such questions as tariff. The Mississippi Senator asserted that the Republican membership was not solid behind the bill and read a speech delivered by Senator Mose?, Republican, New Hampshire, at the last session at the tacking the mea sure as being afflicted with "congenital economic rickets.' Mr. Harrison then turned to what he described as constructive program for relief of the farmers. He argued that railroad legislation which would make it possible for American people again to use tne transportation sys tems was urgent and that the farm loan system should be made to do its full duty by changes that would make loans easier to the fanners.
