m DAILY FREE PRESS; W. S. HERBERT. Editor and Prop', Entered at P. o. m wcodi cum mail matter NINETEENTH VOLUME. Withthe next semi-weekly issue The Free Press begins its nineteenth volume. It is on a more substantial basis now than it has ever been. For eighteen years The Fbeb Press has labored unceasingly to keep its read ers informed on the news and to help ad' vance the interests of the community in which it is published. For a little more than fourteen years the bresent editor has been in charge of its columns and has endeavored to run a newspaper independent of any rings or cliques. Ve think that the advice of The Free PpES8has induced more of our farmers to raise home supplies and to diversify their , crops, causing this to become a more prosperous fanning section. The Free Press has constantly urged the people of Kinston to engage in man ufacturing enterprises, and Kinston has grown from a town of 1,750 to fully 5,000 population, largely a result of manufacturing. TnB Free Press hns tried to act fairly and squarely by everybody, and has more friends than ever before. The Free Press will continue to im prove as the patronage given it Increases The publisher has no promises to make for the future, except to continue to pub, lish as good a paper as the means at his hands will warrant. . We ' are thankfu for the liberal patronage given the paper and hope for still largerpatronage in the future. : FIRST WIQ IN HISTORY. , Congressman Grosvenor made a speech in the house a few days ago stating that Hon. W. J. Bryan was equally responsi V ble with the Democrats who voted for ratification of the Paris treaty, and was estopped from opposing any of its effects because Bryan went to Washington and used, his influence to have the treaty rati fled. Mr. Bryan says that while advocating ratification of the Paris treaty , of peace he coupled it with advocacy of a promise of independence to the Filipinos; that ;tbe Bacon resolution, if adopted, would have prevented the Philippine war, Mr. Bryan further said: "The blood shed in the Philippine Islands is npon those who refused to deal with the Filipi nos on American principles. It is cow ardly for the Republicans to attempt to evade the responsibility. If they favor the war of conquest, they should have the courage to avow it and give their , real reasons for it, namely, that they de sire to give the syndicates a chance to exploit tne islands. Tne thing tnat sur prises me about Mr. Grosvenor's charge . is that he lays the blame on the Demo crats. Heretofore the Republicans have laid it on Providence." The conference committee between the house and senate have agreed on the cur rency bill. It provides for a single gold standard, for the gradual retire , ment of greenbacks as $he silver bullion now in the treasury vaults is coined, and places the supply of money, other than gold certificates, entirely in the hands of national bankers. It is an infamously unjust measure, de signed for ths purpose of robbing the debtor and enriching still more the im mensely wealthy. The effect of its operations will be to gradually make times harder, to pinch, squeeze and crush the poor and moder ately well-to-do. It , may be compared to a slow machine driving four walls to gether upon people who cannot escape its effect will be slow but sure. The Republican party, which is respon sible for this pernicious law should be hurled from power by an outraged peo ple. : ' Hanna sys that it will take a great sum of money to elect McKinley. Doubt less! And there is a good flghtingchance to defeat him. J It is worth more than'lO cents a week to run over every day to your neighbors house and "borrow his paper.

This they did with the Juice of strawberries. The Persians wore wigs.

Soon after they were consoled by a Greek merchant, who told tliem that he would give them the' means of hiding their bald nates under luxurious curls. In his chariot he bad hundreds of wigs of all colors. Wigs were In rosue In Home toward the end -of the republic and, so well made that, says Ovid, "no man could know If his wife had any balr at all be fore she had given him ap opDortunlty of seizing her by the tresses."

Coming suddenly upon a salesman In a retail store who had a number of yard long lengths of new piques liber ally sprinkled with those little price tags (the pins all stuck through the several thicknesses and bent down) one understood all at once the full Im port of the demands of the sample fiend. Marked off evenly like a check erboard. with 17 price tags lengthwise and seven to the width, which made 119 to the yard, the salesman was go ing over the lot with a pencil, setting down the width and price on each. At one store the one who Is at the head of each stock attends to the pre paring of the samples of his particular stock. Thus the pique samples would be cut by one, samples of swIss by an otner, or organdie Dy another, and so on. in tne silk department one man. who Is kept for the purpose, docs It alL And It takes all bis time. For people from a distance who do their buying by mall this Is of course a very good method. But the part to which all sane people take exception Is the senseless sampling of those who wander aimlessly about, evidently gathering samples as a thoughtless child sometimes pulls twigs .in passing bushes. The worst of It is we have to pay for this senseless woman's foolish ness. It being often observable that the biggest samplers are the smallest buy ers. One clerk says that he has actual Iy seen thrown upon the sidewalk the samples given to a woman after show ing her his. whole stock, her purchase being ostensibly postponed because of her fear that the goods will not match something or other. The time Is past when, these scraps went to feed the Insatiate crazy quilt fiends. Philadelphia Record.
