Entered at the postofficp at Kinston, North Carolina, as eeond-class matter under act of Congress,1 March 3, 1879, Subscribers are requested to report promptly any ir ! rsgularity in receipt of paper. Those who failed to attend the first of the lycoum at tractions, jriven Friday nitfht, mir.scd an evening of de lightful entertainment. The Lowery-Lawrencc team rend ered a most pleasing and wholesome program. The reports of the political outlook from different part? of the country seem to leave nothing in .'oubt as to the re sult when the polls close in November, except the size of the majorities. The trend Wilsonw.ml begins to as sume the proportions of a landslide. A contemporary reports that "two young Republican apped Wilson" in their remarks in beh ilf of their party The rapping business is becoming pretty general, but one good feature of it, every rap seems to be a boost. trap which, through the telescope route, slaughtering place for hundreds of people. The under pass and ovtr-pa.is go hand in hand with the modem steel construction in rolling stock and heavy raila, -which are proving so successful in reducing wrecks and holding down the casualties, when derialments do occur. The Southern Railway is to be congratulated on the good showing, nd may the record be only the beginning of a campaign looking to the riddance of evc-y frrads cross ing on its lino. A SUGGESTION WORTHY OF COXSIDKKATION. The suggestion, carried in Thursday's Free Press, of the advisability of inaugurating a regular boat service getween New Rem and Kinston, jnakinjr connection with the proposcj Baltimore-New Bern steamship line, is one that might prove worthy of consideration. A good deal of shipping comes into Kinston from Baltimore. Th: service by steamship to Norfolk and thence by the Norfolk-Southern, at present affor.lcl, is v y satisfactory from the standpoint of time in transit. A considerable amount of this business, however, could If classed as slow freight, and the lower rate wh:;-!i would ob'ain by a' all-water route, would make it to the interest of Kin Mon business concerns to patronize such a line. Whether tho channel from Kinston to New Bern i ij alde of handling all-the-year-round boats of sufficb draught to carry the freight, which 'the runninjr of th' :!ia:s woui.i warrant, is a mailer, or course, mat wouli have to ie investigated but there aro many advantage for a water mule. 0 SOCIAL .

These are 'but a few of the evidences of good management and its ntiendani prosperity gleaned from the front pages of a single issue of the daily news paper. The difference between the violation of Belgium's neu trality and Greece's neutrality is largely a matter of "whose ox is gored." In the former instance, D:!giurr. resented the violation of its rights by the Germans and jts a consequence was run rugh-Rhod over; but not until it had mado a stand sufP nm'.ly lengthy to enable the Al lies to so prepare as to prevent a speedy culmination of tho conflict by the over-running of France as well. In the latter case the Allies have calmly taken possession without any regard, seemingly whatsoever, for the neu trality of Greece, and because -of a division of sentimen among the people of Groece there has been no anmed re iHtatance to tho encroachment of the Allies' forces. Con slstency, thou art a jewel. The pro-Ally adherents can't with any degree of sincerity longer criticise the Oerma: action in the case of Belgium. THE HUGHES CAMPAIGN WATER-LOGGED. There is every evidenca that the Hughes campaign ha; become water-logged. At least, tho weather vanes o' tho political atmosphere see nothing but a falling eff da; by day of the followers of the ex-juris There is nothing mysterious or pinr.ling about the fit--nation. Mr. Hughes' campaign has not had since it Inception a single sound prep. It has been an aimless reckless groping in the dark for an issue without sue cess. The New York World sizes the situation up when it attributes the decline anil prospective fall of the Hughes candidacy to its lack of the "one element with out which no candidacy has a right to succeed the ele men of good faith." M'r. Hughes has not t.?ted fail with iho American people. At the time whrn he was heir In high esteem by all the people as a member of the United States Pup -erne Court, ar. 1 when to till out war.' appearances he was giving his umlivid-. d attertiaa '. th important matters o.'mitig before that Treat I ibenai. lv was "gumshoeing" a campaign for the RonnM-ovi pros' dfntial nomination. Being successful in that cfl'ot .,n lecoming tho standard hearer of the Urpubl can paty he has failed still to come out in the open a:. I let tin people, whoso support he is asking, know whore li stands. Instead of devising and presenting f- - the en dorsement of the American people a eon-it rurti; o pro gram in kreping with the limes, his attention lias hcor given entirely to tearing-down tactics.

"According to aq announcement of the Southern Rail way, ninety-three grade crossings have been eliminated in its improvement work on tho main line between Orange. Vi and Central, S. C. Overhead bridges, under passe and changes of the routes of the public reads have all contributed tb the doing away with the agencies of death. '. 'J .t; " ii y . yi, . ; r The Free Press is not informed as to the number of grade crossings on the line bet two points in question, but the elimination of hwe is certainly UIVSTON IN THE LIMELIGHT. Several days a;ro when Col. II. S. Lcard, General Pas enger Agent of the Norfolk Southern, and good friend of Kinston, was here to make final arrangements for han King the crowds eaucted next week for the second an :ral exhibit of the Klns'ton Fair, he commented on the marked improvements that were constantly taking plai .11 rennouts and compi:meni:a very ntgnty tne Kinston pii it. He had ahe.ady been to several other fairs, Lvgc d small, this year and remarked that none of them vonld exceed Kinston's und?rtaking. Said he, "You know, haven't (stopped talking about your first fair last year t was a revelation to everybody who attended it. and tin Xinston spirit which pushed forward and accomplished - successfully the big undertaking was truly rcmarkabli i ml commendable." Col. Lcard added that this year'; 'nir was bound to be a big success. Said he, "Your pros i;?o was established last year." Few Kinatonians huve really stopped to analyze and ippreciate what a splendid impression W'as Created by he success of last year's fair and what an opportunity s given this year for still further good work and none an apnreiiate as do the outsiders what the culmination if tho community spirit has meant in the way of beneficial i Ivity for this section. Let every citi'.en hereabouts lend his unstinted evopc ati&n to make of the four days next week all that it is oo.'sible to make of them. f. t the good people w-hn 'irte from Kinston's trade territoiy return to thoir home i'ith the song on their lips. "Great is Kinston" and The ''roc Press will continue to help them t;ll its story. 'HITTING THK NAIL ON HEAD." Honorable N. A.
