Week. lOftii , 3 Month Month 35c. 12 Monthfc Friday Efenlnf, September 18, 1914 It cannot be said that Uncle Sam's neutrality in not being. respected by the warring" -nation since the hostler wrapped hia famous ateed in the stars and stripes and passed him safe ly through the lines in France. a The demolition of the buildings on the corner of North and Queen streets, preparatory to the erection of the new postofflce, looks good. The removal of a number of other "land marks" on the Avenue will help things in Kinston wonderfully. It has been said that funerals and fires help a city. There is a good deal of truth in part of the saying, too, for some of the old buildings will just hang on until they are regular eye sores unless some well timed blaze comes to the rescue to make room for an up to date structure. The wily old Turk may have to eat a few words of which he delivered himself so abruptly a few days ago when he announced the complete sev erance of all treaty relations. The protests of Uncle Sam and some of the other ,big fellows may cause him to see things in a little different light. The negro janitor of Uncle Sam's building over in Statesville was no; flred because of his color, but when he tried to hold Ms government joh as, a .sideline the "skates" were Qui under him without delay. His ene mies don't care what the alleged rea son is, the object has been obtained. The Wilson policies are being rat ified as the fall elections are being held throughout the country. Old time rock ribbed standpat district!? are remaining in the Democratic col umns, where they landed two years ago. Naturally there will be some "come backs" but hardly enough to give the complexion of the Congress any distress. tion of the business of those who bor row from them, and very often they are consulted, and make suggestions which are applied. The principle of the Atlanta plan is not therefore out of the ordinary. As a safeguard, the bankers could make the 50 per cent reduction clause a part of the basis for credit. There would perhaps be no feasible way to enforce the agree ment, if there was a tendency on the part of the planters to violate it, but it stands to reason that the moral influence, aside from the legal aspect, provided of course the plan was gen erally put into practice, would result in a reduction sufficiently great to accomplish the desired end. The'plan is worthy of further consideration GERMANY'S ATTITUDE TOWARD PEACE The prospect for the entertainment of a peace proposal by Germany is considered by Ambassador Gerard and others, close to the situation, as somewhat encouraging. Although the Kaiser has made no reply to Presi dent Wilson's query as to his atti tude, the German Imperial Chancel lor has said in an informal way that Germany would like to know what position the other powers would take with reference to mediation, and he has suggested that the United States ascertain upon what terms England France and Russia would make peace, Of course, the Germans are not in position to accept peace on a basis of having been defeated, nor are the Al lies, but no doubt, all the belliger ents would welcome a cessation hostilities li such could be accom plished without affront to their prid and dignity. The word from Mr. Ger ard is the most encouraging that has been sounded looking to a settlement and although the interview wos very informal and there has been no com mittal on the part of tlje German au thorities, jt is quite evident that they have their ears to the ground, so tc speak, and that they would not turn a deaf ear to a proposal if it could be accepted without too much cost to their national honor. of WHAT OTHERS SAY COMING BACK DOWN HERE Greensboro News: "How suddenly doth fade the glory .of the Palm Beach raiment." Brother Cowan of the Wilmington Dispatch takes this Pharisaical view of Editor Caine's position on wearing hats in theatres, just as if he didn't have reserved seats on the bald headed row, too. He sayiw "Editor Caine of the Asheville Citi: sen has a ringing editorial against wearing hats in theaters. And it nay be observed that there can be nothing selfish in the plaint, because Caine always occupies a bald-head row seat and even when there are i chorus girls in the show, we are reliably informed." The Belgian delegation has been jbtard and informed that this govern ment could not at the present time take any action in the matter for fear of violating its neutrality. It is doubtful if any action could stay the hands of the fiends who are re sponsible for such atrocities as are reported, be they German, French or what not. It is hardly probably that the superiors were aware of the out- rages perpetrated and perhaps the soldiers and petty officers are res- .j DOasibte. - When tna iruiltv oiwi are discovered they should -be made ob- I j... , i. i, .. iviiswia vi aim ino Slump 01 U1S- ' approval - Very definitely them. put upon ACREAGE PLAN The suggestion, coming from the . -nuanw . inamoer or .

Banks have NOT IF THE KAISER CAN HELP IT Wilmington Dispatch: "Belgium has got to lie indemnified. But will there be enough Belgians left to get the indemnity?" News and Observer: .".Mr. J. Taylor, a mill man of Kinston, quoted as taking a hopeful view of the cotton situation. The cotton mill men can help by buying as much cotton as they can carry and some of them will do this." MAY NOT HAVE TO CONSENT Durham Sun: "Just one hundred years ago we lost our capital, but we did not lose the fight. A few Euro pean countries doubtless would like for history to repeat itself in their case; if the Germans would only con sent." COTTON SOLI) IN LIVERPOOL Raleigh Times: "A few hundred American bales of cotton were sold at Liverpool Tuesday. Heretofore no American cotton had been bought by the English mills. The times are getting better and in a few more weeks there ought to be a consider able demand for the South's product" WOMEN IN MAJORITY Biblical Recorder: "It is trite to say that women take more interest in church work than men. But about what is the proportion in the matter of church attendance and member ship? An authority estimates that the Sunday services of the churches in America are attended by audiences camposed of sixty-five women to thirty-five men, and that a similar pro portion holds in regard to church membership." SOME RELIEF, AT LEAST Charlotte Observer: "Photographs that have been coming in, the after math of the war, as it were,' give proof 'that the newspaper-' corres pondents were comparatively mild in their descriptions of the havoc wrought by bombs dropped from the air on the defenseless towns; The pictures show the real horrorsof the Zeppelin bombs, which wrecked house? and killed women and children wher the civilized world 'and tTie revolt against the inhumanity of it, is prob ably 4 partially responsible for its abatement, for, since the early stages of the strife, there has been a cessa tion; of, .activity, in .that wethod of wreaking' .destruction. It further true that the number"-of jiaese air craft has. been considetabti) dimin ished, and this fact is alsoe be tak en into account But in tfce abate ment of the dropping of bombs, from whatever cause, the civilized world must experience a feeling of relief." DIVERSITY OF CROPS PAYS Winston-Salem Journal: "Those who have enough money to divide with their" brethren in distress, the cotton farmers, will do well to join the 'Buy a Bale of Cotton', movement Since tobacco appears to be holding up well tn price regardless or the war, the moneyed men of this community can well afford tej lend a helping hand to the farmers farther South. Our own farmers are able to take -care of themselves as long as they can find a good market for their tobacco." WILSON POLICIES ENDORSED Greensboro Record: "When Maine went Democratic two years ago, few people, even politicians, expected to see the trick repeated, but the same thing happened again Monday, though the first returns indicated a Repub lican victory. The Democratic nomi nees received a larger vote than Wil son did two years ago. "Wilson Wins" had as well be kept standing Voters in hitherto Republican States appear to be pleased with his policies foreign and otherwise." BUBONIC PLAGUE REAPPEARS IN CUBA Havana, Sept. 17.
