. ,,j r. "v;v-'J!'
Although in its rather , hurried
march forward Kinston has paid
most attention to the production, of
the section's two great staples, to
bacco and cotton, and the manufac
ture of the latter and its by-products,
yet it has and is supporting a small
number of varied and prosperous in
dustries in other lines. A Uv Cham
ber of Commerce and the co-opem-tive
spirit of the population now
tend to the development of enter
prises in other lines, than-tobacco,
cotton, lumber , and vehicles,, which
have been touched' on in this series,
and natural 'facilities unite with this
singulation1 of public-piritedness to
make Kinston what it: is destined in
a few years to be--an important
manufacturing as well as agricul
tural community. f .
The Lenoir Oil A lee Company is
about the most important of these in
dependent manufacturmg " cencerns.
They operaU in East Kinston a cot
ton seed oil mill, fee plant and fertU
iier factory. These combined employ
a large forced witk . a" fjpod average of
skiM labored' the payroll is large.
The local capital to tits " sum
of many thousands of dollars is
furnished by some of '4e livest in
terests in Kinston. The. business is. of

MONTANA SUFFRAGISTS
PRjETOICf j to 1 VICTORY.
Butte, Mont, Aug. 21. That wo
man suffrage . will rcarry two to one
when the constitutional amendment
providing for equal suffrage is put
before the voters of Montana at the
November election, is the prediction1
made by the women at the head of
the suffrage movement here. In the
opinion of chairman of political par
ties, this estimate is somewhat high,
but they, admit that the amendment
is likely to carry by a big majority.
Headed by Jeanette Rankin, form
er field secretary of the National
Suffrage Association, the women of
Montana are conducting a whirl
wind campaign, which will not end
until the votes are cast in Novem
ber. Miss Rankin, a Missoula, Mont.,
girl, resigned her position as field
secretary of the national or
ganizations in New York last winter
to accept the chairmanship of the
Montant Equal Suffrage Association:
An amusing incident in connection
with the suffrage '' campaign- took
place here recently. In an effort to
get a large registrate for a school
election, the women decided upon a
tea in the halls of the courthouse.
The sanction of the county , commis
sioners was secured and arrange
ments for the tea completed. At the
eleventh hour, County Attorney Mc
Caffrey held that the proposed tea
was in violation of the corrupt prac
tices act, passed by the State As
sembly two years - ago. " This act
makes it a felony to induce anyone
to register or vote by means of any
gift. County Attorney McCaffrey
held that under the act, the women
had no right to dole out tea, in an
effort to bring on a large registra
tion. He threatened to arrest the
women if they gave their tea. Some
of the women wanted to hold the tea
m spite of the opinion, contending
that it was tea that brought on the
revolutionary war and that the same
commodity might as well bring on an
other "war." The tea was given up.
CONDITION BETTER y
FOR FARM WORKERS,
bacramento, Cal., Aug. 22. The
California Commission of Immitrra
tion and Housing 'does not maintain
that living conditions will be ideal
this fall for the army of migratory
laborers who will harvest the sea
son's crops throughout the State.
Ju one thing it does assert that
conmtions will be better for this class
of toilers this year than ever in the
P&st.
ine cnange is the result of the
not on the Durst hop ranch at Wheat
landvin August, 1913, in which four
K-'x lost and in connection with
wwen two men are under sentence
"today to life imprisonment in the
Jolsom penitentiary. Some question
of wages were involved in this out
break, but in the main the trouble
"was due to complaints concerning liv
ing conditions on the ranch; ! ;
The immigration and housing com
mission made a thorough - investiga
tion of these conditions during the
trial and returned a report so strong
ly, worded that much of it was un
printable, more than corroborating
the stories told by the workers. More
over it. was asserted that a similar
-"tuation prevailed on many another
California ranch and employers were
warned that there must .be an im
provement or industrial troubles of
ths grcrest character would be inev-
vironments ' arc " progressing. Much
of the products is consumed locally,
but purchasers in other localities are
helping to advertise these "made in
Kinston' goods.
.A machine shop and foundry, a
bakery, a silk'mill using nothing but
negro labor but turning loose a fair
sum 'Weekly in salaries, a mantel and
woodworking plant, ' planing mill,
marble works, ' printeries, electrical
sign works, tobacco, flue shops, soft
drink mixing plants, and other minor
toanufactures give employment to
Wiuhdreds' and: form; the- nucleus of a
community of city-builders who are
bound to increase many fold because
of Kinstoifs excellent advantages
and aggressive endeavors to grow
out of Ha present class.
' A veneering plant is a possible en
terprise, and one which the Chamber
of Commerce will welcome. Can
aeries would probably be supplied by
aha- present production, and if they
wars not Lenoir's soil would .soon, be
put to the task of making what .was
demanded- , A co-operative dairy will
come when a little more interest in
animal husbandry has developed, and
dozens of, other branches of manu
facturing can be given the. necessary
products and transportation facili
ties, by Kinston and tiie territory of
which it is the commercial capitaL

of the commission have inspected
nearly 500 labor camps. They an

WERE YOU UP TO SEE .
THE SUN'S ECLIPSE.
" Washington, Aug, .21. Astronom
ers andstar gazers in many parts
of the world were up at sunrise to
day to observe the eclipse of the
sun.
For just a few seconds after sun
rise, observers in the United States
and North of Washington and as far
west as Indianapolis were permitted
just the slightest part of the moon's
shadow on the sun. The map pre
pared by the Naval Observatory at
Washington shows that the path of
totality of the eclipse, began up in
the extreme north polar region of
(he Western Hemisphere. It extends
eastward to Norway Sweden, Russia
and Persia. In this zone, about 100
miles wide, the eclipse was visible in
its totality for about four minutes.
'Many governments went to large
expense to fit out expeditions to ob
serve the eclipse in the zone entirely,
but the United States, feeling that
the eclipse has no great scientific im
portance and that it will be fully ob
served by the Swedish and Russian
astronomers, made no such provision
The eclipse waa of value chiefly
in correcting the world's time, al
though usually this is so precisely
calculated from the movements of
the stars that it doesn't vary
the slightest fraction of a sec
ond. Time is tallied by clocks kept
in r sealed vault at the Naval Ob
servatory in Washington in which
the temperature does not charge the
temh part of a degree during the en
tire year, and it is not expected that
the observations of the eclipse today
will necessitate resetting of these
clocks.
The scientific world is lookiog for
ward to a total eclipse of the sun
which will be visible in the United
States for a few minutes on Febru
ary 3, 1916, weather permitting.

aOTIiiSCGITCflAT
, v BY MARGARET MASON,
(Written for the United Press.)
My lady of fashion is back to town
In velvet hat and chemise gown.
And so becoming all pause to scan,
She's also wearing a' coat of tan.
New York, August , 21. At this
time of the year when mere man is
shaking the mothballs out of his
dresscoat, lovely woman, not to be
outdone orders home a coatdress from
the little French dressmakers. These
newest of the two creations are suc
cessors of the long Russian tunic
frocks that were literally killed by
kindness. When the long tunic was
first launched, on the sea of style It
was received with such a wave "of
popularity that commonness soon
swamped it and naturally it Is no
longer tolerated by the fashjonably
elect Hence the evolution of the
frock coat which is simply, a garment
whose waist continues in flaring lines
to the calf in simulation of a veri
table long coat over a skirt ...
. With the exception of the long un
broken line from shoulder to finish,
the effect is practically the- same as
that of the long "Russian tunic These
coat dresses are' particularly smart
for early Fall wear of blue serge or
in satin, both materials lavishly
braided in wide and narrow widths of
black silk soutache braid used in this
combination. Women's clothes are
certainly due for a large share of up
braiding this autumn, but so lotog'aa
they are to be braided and braided all
around as well this will no doubt
take the curse off.
Since bullets at the front are- all
the rage in France it seems' only
apropos that bullet buttons should be
all the rage at the front of the femi
nine frocks on this side of the water.
These buttons are equally chic in me
tal or satin and cloth covered.
The flaring collar of white organ
die and batiste so omnipresent on all
and every sort of frock are now. re
plete with pleats and even a new
square flat collar of sheer lace and
organdie that falls down the back
like a sailor's collar comes pleated in
divers tiny folds.
With practically all other new mo
dels for Fall and winter showing the
straight lines of the semi-fitted
basque, the coat frock . and the
chemise gown, it promises to be a
hard winter indeed for any but the
sveltest of the svelt A fat or
even a plump woman has but the
choice of two evils either to don one
of these loose lined styles which gives
her immediately, all the dainty ver
similitude of a vat or a hogshead or to
stick to her last years modes and be
dubbed passe, unless some gallant de
signer leaps into the breach and turns
out a life and figure saving model
for the portly.
A freak fashion that savors strong
ly, of the decorative instinct of a
Hottentot chief is the use of a fringe
of shiny long black monkey fur
around the bottom of a deep girdle on
an evening frock and a like fringe
outlining the edge of a short coatee
to a white serge or gabardime suit.
Fortunately this use, of monkey fur
is not apt to be aped by anyone pos
sessing a shred of either artistic or
ordinary good taste.
The combination of the sleek black
fur with the white however shows
the penphant for black and white to
be absolutely undiminished and vying
with the black satin basque and coat
frocks, cuffed and collared in organ
die and the chemise, basque and coat
dresses of all white taffeta are now
offered similar silken models made
up in tiny black and white check silk.
Though this intermediate craze for
checks is temporarily checked from
time to time it never fails to break
out anew at least once a season. Be
sides the black and white checked
silk frocks, heavy capes of shepherds
plaid are also frequently glimpsed
worn half slipping off of smart shoul
ders.
There is just one word of grace to
say anent the passing of the Russian
tunic.
A respite may be granted its too
abrupt. passing provided it is willing
to: ret beneath the yoke. In other
words if you allow your tunic to drop
from a fitted yoke about the hips in
stead of its former falling full or
pleated from the waist line you may
still wear it with an up-to-date con
science. (

SYSTEl TO BE LATEST
The Gasjewett Cotapaay Makes Best
Fire and Police Alarm Apparatus
to be Had.
When the installation of Kinston's
fire alarm system is completed, pos
sibly by the Slst of this month, the
fire commissioner and chief will give
full details of its operation and. the
list of alarm box stations for the
education of the public in the use of
the apparatus.
The system will be about as com
plete as can be found in a town of this
size anywhere. Box stations will be
18' in number, while six additional
"dummy" numbers -will bo listed at
the central station so that in case of
a, telephone call from the vicinity of
aether of six imaginary stations the
locality may. bo indicated by the op
erator in tiie station for the benefit of
the firemen.
The alarm boxes .will be of the
positive . non-interfering typo, A
glass door 'must be t broken and a
hook pulled to start the mechanism
la motion. Automatically the num
ber of the box is thost recorded: oa
the indicator is the Are houses and
tapped On the bell is city hall tows,
A .test of the apparatus will bo mads
daily by the superintendent of the
electric plant .
A committee of throe from the al
dermen and fire department selected
the locations for box stations,. They
so arranged the circuit: that la. the
business, section a box will bo avail
able within a block of any point.
while in the residence districts no
house will be farther removed from
a box than a block and a half. Thai
city is divided into lour parts, l:
the northwestern part all boxes
have the initial number of 4, in
northeast 5, in the southeast 3 and in
the southwest and on Queen s
When. an alarm is sounded the first
number struck will, indicate the
tion, and the second the box. Driv
A.
ers will be required to memorise
stations. When an alarm is runglin
from a box a small bell inside tl
case rings to inform the sender th
its mechanism is doing its work oi
transmission, and if the bell fails to
sound it is proof that the box is out
of order.
The system is of the famous Game-
well type and manufacture, used by
many of the larger cities of the coun
try and popular with small city and
town departments.
FIRE PLUGS TO BE
RED AND SILVER.
All fire plugs placed on Kinston
streets in future will be painted red
and silver. Several hydrants of a
new type painted in these colors have
just been installed in West Kinston.
The advantage is in the discernible-
ness of the hydrants at ,long dis
tances. In daylight one can be seen
two corners away, while at night the
silvered top refleets the light from a
corner lamp, so as to make it easily
perceptible a block off. There are
now about 100 hydrants available for
fire service, besides many on private
properties.
