The Daily Free Press, DANIEL T. EDWARDS... . EDITO I BnMrad at Ihs PoAoffic a second class matter, ACETYLENE UA8 FOR LIGHTING. 8TREET It Is more economical to light small towns with acetylene ras than with electricity, or the ordinary manufact ured ras. Natural ess, of course, shuts out all competition, as the cost of manufacturing is eliminated, mere re over 10,000 towns in the United States, of 6,000 population and under taaiiT of which are maintaining expen ive electric lipht systems for street Illumination. These towns could put in an acetylene gas plant at much less cost than an electric light system could be installed for and the streets more economically and more thor oughly lighted. It will ke well for city officials every where to investigate the acetylene gas question, as acetylene gas lighting could be easily adapted to the suburbs of large cities and profitably used for the lighting o' RtnaH towns.-rtyunicl-pal Journal and Engineer. The above from a very high author ity on municipal public works should command the careful consideration of the citizens of Kington at the present time. We all know that our electric light slant Is at present of too small a - -- capacity for the needs of the town There are a number of places where liirhts could be. and would be used provided we were able to put them in. In view of the fact that acetylene gas Is more economical than electricity, and produces a light that is just as valuable, it would be well for Kinston to light her streets in this way rather than by the use of electricity. It can be produced at a small cost, our streets ould be lighted better than they are at present, and the service would be cheaper. . Then we couldremovethose unsightly poles from the middle of the streets, nd have the beautiful, wide drive ways we had before they were dlsflg- sired. Besides this, if the greater part t least, of street lighting were done by means of gas, we would relieve the plant from the burden of street light ing and there would remain ample ca pacity to furnish all . the electricity demanded for private purposes. This -would obviate the necessity of an ex penditure for tbe purpose of enlarging the plant. . This is a matter that demands the serious consideration of the board of aldermen as they plan the improve ments so recently authorized. Figures recently Issued show that more banks have been organized in the -southern states since March 14, 1900 than In any other part of the country save the middle states. The figures are as follows: States. New England, Kastern, Southern, Middle, Western, Paoiflo, llawall. ; U.

He has pur chased an extensive tract in Georgia where he proposes to raise fruit and vegetables for the London markets. It Is said that London is sadly dea dest In respect to her market of this kind and that the Irish Knight sees in this undertaking an opportunity to supply a real need. Whether Sir Thomas finds his vent ure lucrative or not, we are all glad that he is investing some of his money with us. And If be doea lift .the cup, its will be part' American' when he does it ...

Berlin, Oct. 8. The officials of the German foreign office say there is not the least foundation for a report that all the German warships in American waters have been ordered to concen trate off the island Jamaica in view of recent events at Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela. Paris, Oct. 8. Official information received here shows that a formidable Russian fleet, comprising ninety war ships of all classes, has left Port Arthur and has arrived atMa-San-Pho, south of Corea, where the Japanese fleet had arrived already. The Rus sian ships have anchored within the Ma-San-Pho harbor, along-side the Japanese ships. ' Washington, Oct. 8 Speaking of yesterday's experience at Widewater with his aerodrome, Prof. Langley said today that he was not an eye-witness of the experiment, having been de tained in Washington by business, but that Mr. Langley's impression that there had been no defect in the machine was wrong, as some defects had been found today on examination. Baltimore, Oct 8. The convention of tbe league of American municipal ities continued its sessions today Among tbe addresses delivered were Municipal restriction of the social evil" by Mayor Julius Fleischman, of Cincinnati. "Organized labor and the municipality," by Mayor Ignatius A Sullivan, of Hartford, Conn., and ''Municipal Statistics," by Hugo S Groesser, municipal statistician of Chicago. New York, Oct. 8. Moses Small wood, a colored boy from Georgia, who claims to have been Shanghaied on board the Russian bark, Alice, in Savannah last July, arrived on the Majestic today. A customs inspector was detailed to meet the ship down the bay and take Smaljwood before the United States district attorney here who will see that he is sent back to Savannah to testify against two board lag house keepers whom he charges with Shangaling him. Tillman Concludes Testimony. Lexington, S. C, Oct. 8. In the trial of James H. Tillman, the pris oner ' occupied the stand throughout the morning session from 9.30 to 1.30 o ciocK ana ior . a iew minutes alter recess. He was subjected to an un sparing cross-examination by Mr. Heiiinger, but in spite of what ap peared glaring contradictions in some cases his air of cool defiance was at no time absent. After a lengthy argu ment by counsel he was permitted to deny the truth of editorial statements by Mr. Gonzales and endeavored to explain the various charges . seriatim. Speaking of his letter withdrawing an invitation to president Roosevelt to present the Micah Jenkins sword, which The State criticised, he said that he wrote the letter in resentment of the president's withdrawal of the invita tlon to Senator Tillman to attend the dinner to Prlace Henry. , . I "In the light of after events," he said, "I am glad I did it" .u, "What events,'1 inquired Mr. Croft. "The Booker Washington dinner and the appointment of a colored col-, lector In Charleston," replied the prisoner. Tinman's story of tbe shooting was that as Gonzales approached him com ing south in Main street, he was walk lng between Tal bird and Brown. Gon sales was eyeing him intently and he kept his eye on Gonzales, placing his hand on his pistol in the flap of his overcoat pocket Gonzales was on the side next the street and the space ' was ample tor him to past by him without deviating from a straight line.. . Coo sales obliqued to the inner side, which brought him Infront and directly to wards the witness. At the same time Goniales, who had . his hands in his pockets with thumbs exposed, drove his right hattd full into his pocket with a movement which he thought meant that Gonzales was about to draw and fire. His hand already on his pistol, the prisoner drew his weapon and fired, believing that lt.was necessary to sate hit life. He would have fired again, but desisted because Gonzales did not return the fire. He did not recall tell ing Senator Talblrd that be desisted for fear of shooting him and bad am ple time to fire again if he had so de sired. - - " ... ' ;:' Better Thaa Pills. The question has been asked In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to tbe ordi nary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer Is They are easier and more pleasant to take and their effect is so gentle and so atrreeable that one hardly realizes that it is produced by a medicine. Then they not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and aid the digestion. For sale at o cents per bottle by J. E. Hood & Co. VE T t HAN Grvl j-triEE WARS. Major Garl Diitea.
