U Airuu) WMf 10c " 3 Month tl Month. 35s. 12 Month, Saturday Evening , ' Sept 19. 1914 Remember October 4 hai been set tuide as prayer day for a restoration f oeace in Europe. The united and earnest prayers of Christendom will avail much. The tobacco sales on Kinston mar kets continue to increase, and it be gin to appear that the real big days of former years will be equalled. Here's hoping. The armies in Europe are ordering their winter clothes, but some of the poor fellows will be buried long be fore there is any need of heavy weight garments. Press dispatches announce a bat tie even worse than the Mame now in progress. If they keep getting worse "Marse Henry," or somebody irfsally as prolific in word-coining will have to come to the rescue to aopply just the word to describe the situation. The county officials of Lenoir take issue with the State Board of Char ities about the good behavior law not being respected. They contend that the hard question is to decide what is good behavior and the class of pris oners now on the road forces are said to be in the main, continual offenders, 1 The police continue their work af ter gamblers and it is understood that several women, who were sentenced at the recent term of the Superior Court to jail and given an opportun ity to leave the State and avoid the sentence, have taken their depart ure. A vigorous crusade is neces sary all the time to keep the vagrant class or lawbreaker on the run; There is no such t,hir.g as "resting on your oars," keeping everlastingly at it must be the slogan. The tenacity with which habit Ifrows and sticks to one is demon strated in the matter of spitting on the sidewalks. Men are guilty of this vulgar practice, who know bet ter, ami who, unthoughtedly, spit without regard to the ill effects just because they have allowed themselves tq acquire the habit. It ought not to be a difficult habit to break one's self of, and something should be done to relieve Kinston's streets of the un sightly effects of such carelessness. A merchant on Queen Street was heard to complain this morning about the custom of the men of the city to gather in front of his and other places of business, on the thorough fare after supper ench night and cov er his sidewalk with tobacco juice and other expectoration. As long m the city authorities show no inclina tion to enforce the nnti-spitting ordi nance, it is suggested that the husi uess concerns, whose fronts are popu lar meeting grounds for the nightly conferences, provide cuspidors. CONSEQUENCES OF WAR The Charlotte Observer comments oa the food scarcity in Germany and winds up by Baying "Unemployment adds to the distress'of the people in Germany, and altogether war is not being found to be quite the sport It anight have, been considered in for mer times." Certainly the masses are suffering untold hardships and . with the approach of winter the strug gle will be even greater. But real sly has war ever been looked upon as a "sport,,? Jfee reckless rulers, of bygone days might have so regarded it, bat the common people we dare " say, never had any such conception. The present war is on a larger scale and the collective hardship will be much greater than any preceding conflict, perhaps, but the individual suffering will not be any more than has beeriexperienced in all the wars thai hays fone hsfof Was U bar barism and '"the -affects are always as terrible as it is possible" for them to be. , 4 TEAM WORK NEEDED.' ."United we stad, divided we fall" is very applicable in the matter of safeguarding the countries' welfare at .present. Reports from Washing ton show that not only the Nortrt Car olina representatives in Congress hold very divergent views as to the best plan for tiding over the situa tion, brought on by the war in Eu rope, but congressmen and senators from all sections have such varying Idets that it seems improbable that any one plan will.be easily agreed upon, and hence the division will de lay, if indeed, it does not destroy the Dossibility of. federal aid. This is a timefor team work. No individual starring is in order. Let the men in public life, who are entrusted , with the responsibility . of these matters, get together shoulder to shoulder and not try to fatten their own "batting averagers. ine rree iTess nas De fore taken the position that enough plans had already been suggested, and that although there probably were many meritorious and capable ones offered, it was not practicable to use but one big plan, and that ought to be selected from the sug gestions made as soon as possible, and the efforts of all people put behind it to make it' a go. The buy-a-bale movement is exemplifying the princi ple of co-operation as it is needed in the present crisis. If there is any possibile way for the federal treas ury to come to the aid of the South now, it ought to do so, and the con gressmen, especially those of the South, should stand together to make the way clear. Oh the wrorfg slde'bT Ihings in-Mexi-co, but the interview was manifestly impossible. NOT AN UNUSUAL KIND Winston-Salem Journal: "One ef fect of the antiquated street sweep er, as it was being used on Main street yesterday afternoon, is to throw all the dust from the street in to the houses on each side at once in stead of letting it be wafted in gent ly and gradually by the falF winds after it has been disturbed By the passing vehicles." THE PRESIDENT HAS QUALIFIED Greensboro Record: "If the time ever arrives when the warring na tions want peace they should call on President Wilson and leave its set tlement to him. Any man who can bring about tranquility in Mexico should be able to handle almost any thing. Quiet not only reigns in that country, but troops have .been with drawn from Vera Cruz and the war is over." ERADSTREErs PREDICTS BIGGER WHEAT ACREAGE WHAT OTHERS SAY TELL YOUR TROUBLES TO A POLICEMAN Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch: "The United States is no big policeman even ifall Europe is trying to tell all their troubles to us." BUSINESS DEPRESSION NOTES Greenshoro News: "If you think you have troubles, consider the laun- dryman with a thousand Palm Bench suits put clean out of business at one fell swoop by the weather works." NOT ENTIRELY SURE OF IT Charlotte Observer: "Perhaps if Washington will wait a few days onger on the reply of the German Emperor to the peace proposal, the tone of the reply might be of a more satisfactory character." NO NEED FOR PROTECTION LONGER Durham Herald: "If there are ref ugees in Vera Cruz after having three months in which to get away we do not believe it is anvbodv's usinesa to look after them." WE DON'T SEE WHY Wilmington Star: "The rose bush as roses and thorn a on it. but we ive it credit for the beauty it pro- uces, without holding it responsible or the thorns. We refune to give people an much of a square deal as we give a ro.se bush." Bradstreet's today says for Rich mond and vicinity: "An optimistic feeling continues to exist in trade circles. Business, course, is on a very conservative ba sis, particularly as to the volume of purchases, at the same time a fai volume of merchandise is changing hands in nearly all lines. Provision and food stuffs are particularly act ive in view of the increased prices Liberal offerings of bright tobacco are being marketed at good prices One market reports an averaire of 17 cents per pound and some sales have been made at from 30 cents to 45 cents per pound. Various schemes for the marketing of cotton crops are being worked out, and it is believed that fair prices will be obtained Much needed rams have fallen this week, and preparations for the wheat and oat planting are being made. An increased acreage of wheat is pre dieted. Lumber and building opera tions continue quiet. The number of unemployed is considerable. Retail trade is quiet and collections con tinue quiet. The number of uhem ployed is considerable. Retail trade is quiet and collections continue slow, KITCHIN PREVENTS HIGH TOBACCO TAX Washington, D. C, Sept. 18.--Repr resentative Claude Kitchin won hU fight today before the ways and means committee for leaf tobacco dealers. The North Carolinian pre vented the committee from doubling the Spanish American war tax on that grade of tobacco. It has been proposed to tax a man who does 50,- 000 worth of business $12 instead of ?'; the one who does between $50,. 000 nnd $100,000, $24 instead of $12, and over $100,000, $48 instead of $24. Under the Kitchin plan every mer chant who sells tobacco of any sort will be taxed $4.80 a year to be col lected 40 cents a month. HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR Wi!miiiK'.c:i Dispatch: "Savoyard, the Washington corresoondent. de- lares that the high cost of living is 11 imaginary, but we suspect that Savoyard will insist on the papers he is supplying copy to coming across with the coin, instead of imagining that he doesn't need it." LIKEWISE SUGGESTED IN THESE COLUMNS Raleigh Times: "The Statesville Landmark is of the opinion that local communities will have to take care of themselves largely in the present emergency. That is the truth, and the most resourceful community, as Jne limes has said on several occa sions, will fare the best.? ' i" : INTERVIEWS OF NO ? IMPORTANCE Raleigh New and Observer: "The New York newspaper men appear to think that they can take all sorts of liberties with Sir Uoesl Carden, for merly British ambassador to Mexico. He had no sooner left New YorkXor his new post in Brazil thati an inter. View ippeared in .which he was erec ted wttn "assaying the American Wl. icy in the Southern republic. Sir Lionel has seemed generally to get GOVERNOR ASKS NAVY FOR ALAMCE SEDUCER Raleigh, Sept. 18. G ?. vrnor Craig issued a requisition th; :; r,-n:ng on Secretary of the Navy Joshua Dan iels for one J. L. McFayden, who is in the naval service on board the training ship Franklin at Portsmouth. There had previously been issued a requisition on the Governor of Vir ginia, and then it was found that there would have to be a demand on the Secretary of the Navy before of ficers could get at the fugitive, who is wanted in Alamance county to an swer the charge of the betrayal of Blanche Oates. It is alleged that McFayden promised to marry the girl lefore he left the county. i 14 GO DOWjf WITH SHIP IN THE ST. LAWRENCE. WALT MASON SAYS n PROVIDE PLAYGROUNDS (Reprbdsced t from Raleigh News ! and Observer.) j Plenty of room for dives and dens r- (glitter and glare of sin), plenty of room for prison pens (gather the! criminals in); plenty of room for jails and courts (willing enough to! pay); but never a place for the lads; to race no, never a place to play! I Plenty of room for shops and stores j (mammon must have the best; plen-. ty of room for the running sores that rot in the city's breast! Plenty of room for lures that lead the hearts of our youths astray; but never a cent on playground spent no, never a place to play. Plenty of room for, schools and halls, plenty of room for art; plenty of room for teas and balls, . platform, stage and mart. Proud is the city she finds a place for many ! a fad today; but she's more than , blind if she fails to find a place for, the boys to play. Give them a chance for innocent sport, give them a chance ; for fun Better a playground plct! than a court and a jail when the harm i is done. Give them a chance if you stint them now, tomorrow you'll have to pay. A larger bill for darker ill. So give them a chance to play!

"I must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid. of this place, "that Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me a great deal of good. Before I commenced using Cardui, I would spit up everything I ate. 1 had a tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was irregular. 1 could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches continuously. Since taking Cardui, I have entirely quit spitting up what 1 eat. Everything seems to digest all right, and I have gained 10 pounds in weight." If you are a victim of any of the numer ous ills so common to your sex, it is wrong to suiter. For half a century. Cardui has been re lieving just such ills, as is proven by the thousands of letters, similar to the above, which pour into our otfice, year by year, Cardui is successful because it is com posed of ingredients which actspecifically on the womanly constitution, and helps round tne weakened organs back to health ana strengin.
