' Kinston will be deprived of some of its (special privilege tax money this year, because it has outlawed carnivals. The los is a good invewt ment for the moral welfare of the city. Carnival license money borders very closely on Ui "tainted" variety. The analysis of the city's water is apparently very much overdue. The . people have been kept in suspense .for some time, and it appears that ample time has been given the State Board of Health in which to apprise the authorities here whether the wa ter is safe or not. This matter is . worthy of the very firt attention of II concerned, and no chances on the probability of the water supply be ing pure should he taken.

The United t ress gave the announcement, and it will be pretty hard to sustain that it was prertia- tnrcly done. Let the "A- P.V teke their medicine: they were beaten fairly and squarely and there is no need to hollow fluke or "umpire." The Virginia liquorites seem to be in the last straits for "evidence" sup porting their side of the question. They seem to be running a regular "patent medicine" testimonial bu reau, and if there in anything in the world that is easy to get, it is for the promoters of a "fifty to stventy Hve per cent, alcohol cure-all" to get the testimonials from some of those. who have actually been "raissd up."

Little does the average reader ap predate the hardship and hazard to the correspondents of the news .gath ering agencies in their endeavor to furnish the latest news from the front. Regardless of the fact that a rigid censor. -hip is being maintained In the European battle lines and news centers, the correspondents art just as close as it is possible for them to get and they are taking all sorts of chances to get even the rumors. This news, when gotten by the hard eat and most enterprising efforts of the reporters is rushed to the cable stations, censored and transmitted to the general offices of the respective agencies and from them relayed to the various newspapers throughout the country. The telegraph editors then come in for a full round of wrestling with the unpronounceable names and whip the stuff into ehape for the reader' at a lightning-like speed.: JDear- reader," do you appre ciate what yovi are getting for your .

The Laurinburg Exchange disputes our right to compare Bladen with Scotland. It is true that Scotland is a good county and in the highest state of development and herein lies the fact that Bladen with as good natural resources undeveloped offers the greater opportunities. We will re peat a paragraph appearing in The Journal about a year ago: "Johnnie," said the proud Scotland father, "if I should give you 100 acres of my good farming land, what would you do?" "1 would sell it r.t $100 per acre, buy 100 acres of land in Bladen at $25 per acre and spend $25 per acre for clearing: and improving, then I wou'd have a farm of equal value and over half my money in the bank," replied the young speculator.

(By Mamie Eays.) Charlotte, Aug. 22. One of the most interesting announcements made recently in connection with ministerial relief in the Southern Presbyterian Church was that made during the conference in the inter est of Christian Education and Min isterial Relief, held recently at Mon treat, that the endowment fund for ministerial relief in this church has reached $326,000. This announce ment was made by Rev. Henry H. Sweets, D. D., secretary of the exe cutive committee of Christian Educa tion and Ministerial Relief, the man than whom no other in the church is in closer touch with these two great caures of the General Assembly. Dr. Sweets stated further that special ef fort is being made at this time to in crease the endowment fund for this cause to at least $500,000 as soon as possible. This endowment fund is well invested, he stated, and the en tire amount received as interest from the same is applied to the support of he beneficiaries of the church min isters who have retired from jctive work, as the result of illness or age, and the widows and orphans of min isters. While it i3 a well known fact that the Southern . Presbyterian church provides more liberally for the sup port of beneficiaries than does any other denomination in the South, at the same time the contributions for this cause from Southern Presbyter- ans are far from being sufficient to give to the benehciane3 of the church support that is adequate to meet their needs ah they should be met and throughout that part cf the conference devoted to the interest of ministerial relief constant emphasis was placed upon the importance of a great awakening upon the part of the entire church regarding the sa cred duty of providing ample sup port for these ministers who have spent themselves as the result of years of unselfish services to the church, and of the duty also of the church to provide ample support for the widows and orphans of such men, as well. Giving to this cause, Dr. Sweets urged, is not the giving of alms, is not giving to a charity, but is meet ing a sacred responsibility, and in this connection he called attention to the fact that few ministers during the years of their activity in the minis try receive a salary sufficiently large to enable them to make . provision for old age, and for their widows and orphans. Many ministers, he said, remain in the active work of the min istry until they are worn out in the service, when they could be spared to the church longer if they could re tire a few years sooner fn& receive from the church such support as they deserve, instead of wearing them, selves out in the twice because of lack of. fundi upon which to retire. Speaking farther cf the duty of the church to raise a fund sufficient ly large to provide well for all ben- ficiarief of the' church .is not conduct ing a pension system, but is rimply discharging a duty and that it is a "blessing Yo the church to contribute to this cause. He ncke also the spirit df sacrifice in-the ministry and bowed that-the lsnefieiaries are not rtaehing ovt.ansj begging for sup. port, but are living without com plaint upon the meager fund avail able for them. He called attention in this connection to the value of older ministers to the church, and said that while for some yea;-3 past in many congregations there has been demand for young men as pas tors that the pendulum is now swing ing back, and the church is wanting to conserve the strength of the old er ministers, and is realizing that mature experience in the pulpit, and in the pastorate is worth far more than the result of mere sophomoric effort. He said also that ministers should be provided with a salary, suf ficient to keep them from all embar rassment, and that it should be paid with the same regularity as is the salaiy of the pastor, and he showed them the great blessing the life of a retired minister could be to a com mur.ity and to the active pastor of ?he church in the same, The report of the executive com mittee shows that last year 'about '4O.009 was contributed by the church ci.d was spent for the cause of min Htciial relief, but ?SS,000 was needed to provide for the support of the sixty-two ministers, 145 widows and ninety orphans, (seventy of the or phans being under fourteen years of aire) who are beneficiar.es cf the church. There is much' to be done before er. r.;gh has been done for this cause, but interest and effort for the cause of ministerial relief are increasing in ths Southern Presbyterian Church, and it is not to be doubted that this great church, which, gave more than $rit0,000 to the cause of foreign mis sions last year, thus leading all oth er denominations of the South, and gave nearly $200,000- to the combined cause of home missions, will within a short time, become so thoroughly cwakened to the discharge of respon sibility and duty regarding minister ial relief that much more than $40, 000 annually will be contributed for the support of the retired ministers and the widows and orphans of min isters who have passed away, all of whom have given to the church an aggregate service of 7,217 years, and who deserve to be held "in everlast ing remembrance" by the church in whose interest so long and so faith fully they labored. ill " . ; ' , "!' : i . t ? -tr ' For aassiness in furniture; for quality in furniture; for latest design in furniture; for effic iency and service in house-furnishing; for conscientious treatment of cus tomers; come and see, , Q ' Q df 'f f s 1 EAST CAROLINA 1 EACHERS TRAINING SCHOOL A State school to train teachers for the public schools of North Carolina.
