Queen street affords the best Retting
to be h adanywhere for an artistic line
of "white light."
About the hardest thing any
ernment upon the lace of the earth
ha to do now is to maintain its neu-
trality.
We don't know which, hut this is one
of the "everyotherdays" in Mexican
affairs. Pence hovers over the hori
son.
An anti-spitting ordinance shoulo
be passed in Kinston. The side walks
and hallways of public buildings an.

There was something in the air a
few weeks ago about Kinston's depot
prospects. It was even hinted that
something of interest was to fall from
the secret recesses of the Corporation
Commission but it hasn't "dritpped."
War news is scare because of tti
censorship. Each nation is trying to
let out only that, which is favorable
to Its side of the question. An eager
world will have to wait until some of
the. facts become history uefore they
re really known, if then.
A number of well placed trash can,
on Kinston's principal streets and ar
ordinance requiring, under penalty 01
fine for violation, the placing of all
-wrappers, waste paper, fruit peelings
avnd all other refuse that pedestrians
now throw down anywhere and the
winds scatter broadcast, would help
the city beautiful idea along wonder

It is remarkable how easily "big
business can take water, when it is
cornered and there is no alternative.
Suits are started and then abruptly
called off as soon as Mr. Trust Mag
na! cries I'll be good. It reminds us
of the boy, who cries "Mania I won't
do it any more" whe nhe sees her ap
proaching with the hickory. Is disso
lution sufficient "punishment" for the
New Haven bunch of crooks ?
Our contemporaries over in Char

The bulletin says:
Through the cloud cf hncertain:y
like a pail over the bjsiness worlil,
may be clearly discerned this striking
fact:
It is America's -rpoitanity!
The world mut be fed, largely from
the United State?, a tieast during the
next few months. The interrupted
export trade must and lihall be resum
ed. The delay in ail produce exports
can be but temporary.
All crops are good property. No one
need be scared into selling produce be
low its real worth.
However, the present flurry affects
quotations, all grains and non-perish
able prdouce should command excel
lent prices ere it is finally consumed
Cigar leaf tobacco and hops may bt
advanced by the war, and its effect
upon heavy leaf may be depressing
only for a short time.
Continued delay in exports afford
rare chances to buy feeds at prices
lower than may prevail when export
are renewed.
All fruits, vegetables, perishable
produce, milk, butter, cheese, eggs
and meats should command fair
prices.
Cotton is the worst hit, because half
the American crop usually is export
ed to the nations now at war. Bui.
the new crop is short, world's supply
for years to come will be below nor
mal, and it is merely a question of
time before every pound of cotton wiil
be needed, and ultimately at prices in
growers' favor probably.
Our Strong Financial Situation.
The national government, and tne
farmers of the United States, backec
up by American business and labor
interests, make an impregnable combi
nation of gold, credits, property and
brains. With Uncle Sam at the
helm, the fiscal ship wil: soon outride
the sudden squall caused by the sun

available to the national banks.
Emergency currency, $500,000,000

No wonder the public is confident
that American finance is sound, that
business soon may be better than ev
er, that the financial center of the
globe may be transferred from London
to New York, and that American far
mers are going to be "everlastingly
in it."
It is a time to keep cool and make
