Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson
now predicts national prohibition by
- 125. Here's hoping that his pro-
' phacy will come true.
V' - " , ,?
? ' , The unellbinders will
soon be
among us and they will carry the lit
tle "Democratic Hand Book" along
with them to prove to the voters that
the old party has stood right square
ly up to the trough and delivered the
goods straightout.
The Burgomaster of Brussels is
having an opportunity to see what it
is like, and when he is restored to
power he will know just what he is
doing when he sentences a fellow to
jail. That is if the Burgomaster con
ducts the police court.
The report of the sinking of a big
French battleship off the coast at Cat
tarro by the Austrian forts in the
Associated Press papers Tuesday
morning was denied in the Associated
Press papers Tuesday afternoon. The
French have lost no ship since the big
war started.

bacconists to be up to the averago,
when quality !h considered.

War presidents have the reputation
for being popular, and it has been
aid by some of the editorial writers
of the country that President Wilson
could insure hsi second term by start
ing a fight with Mexico. From the
way the glad hand is being extended
to Mr. Wilson, since Mr. Marshal an
nounced that he would be the Demo
cratic nominee in the next presiden
tial campaign, we are inclined to
think that "Peace Presidents" are
more popular than the old-time fight

THE PASSING OF
A LANDMARK.
The opening of Raleigh's new mar
ket house today is another forward
step in the progress of the growing
capital city. A little more than a
year ago Raleigh opened its abattoir,
and since that time all cattle, sheep
and hogs intended for sale in that
city, with the exception of imported
meats, have been slaughtered at the
abattoir, which is under strict super
vision of the health department, and
the consumers have been assured that
they were being fed on wholesome
food, inspected before being slaugh
tered and killed in sanitary circum
stances. The old market house in Ra
leigh, which has been in use for about
three-quarters of a century or more, is
familiar to all who have been to Ra
leigh, being situated in a very promi
nent place on Fayetteville street, and
there will be some regret to see the
old building demolished to make room
for modern architecture but there will
be no tears shed from a sanitary
point of view. The old structure has
long outgrown its usefulness.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
It is the common opinion that Ken
tucky is a very wet state, but when it
is known that only 1-i of the 120 coun
ties are wet it is readily understood
that the, prevailing opinion is an in
justice to the daughter of the Old Do
minion. In this ; connection it is in
teresting to know that the famous old
county of Bourbon Is and has been
drysfor many years, and that no man
ufacture or sale is legal within its
fconflnes.
KINSTON BREAKING RECORD
DAILY
Henderson Gold Leaf: "There ap
pears to be very little for the tobacco
farmer to be downcast obout just at
this time, if reports coming in from
the different markets where selling i
in progress are to be credited. In five
rolling days of last week two million
pounds was sold on the Wilson market
at an average price of slightly more
than twelve cents a pound. This was
not at all bad. It means that over
$20,000 was paid out to the tobacco
farmers of Wilson county in those
fW Says,' iitl thai the pries XLtfjre
ceived for their tobacco were goed
Similar reports are coming in from
most other markets that are active.'
WHEN RIGHT PREVAILED
Charlotte News: "If Virginia .has
gone dry by an overwhelming major
ity large credit must go to the uritir
ing efforts of Dr. Cannon, editor
of the Richmond Virginian. That pa
per has been hammering away for
prohibition in season and out of sea
son. It has been a fight for it for
existence but it has pulled through
with flying colors. It shows the pow
er of a newspaper when its influence
is thrown behind some worthy cause,
SHORT STAY VERY GOOD -
INDICATIONS
Greensboro News: "The gentleman
who has been nominated for president
of Mexico by General Villa recently
spent tome -time in Greensboro. ,ut
then, everybody who has occasion to
travel about .much comes to Greens
boro, and most of them find it a most
pleasant necessity. It is a privilege
for the stranger within our gates' to
stand and watch the procession of h
demure, delicious dames."

LIST ALREADY GIVEN OUT
Wilmington Dispatch: "The Cor
poration Commission's advices to Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo as to
the North Carolina banks, declaring
and backing such with figures, that
the North Carolina banks are jiot
hoarding their money, were timely.
They are not without faults, of course,
but they are giant bulwarks of
strength. While no charge was made
against the North Carolina banks it
was well for the Corporation Com
mission to eliminate them from -the
blanket charge made by Mr. McAdoo,
who declared there were ten banks in
the South hoarding the crop money.
Let other bodies of Southern States
eliminate their banks, if they can
However.a better way would be for
McAdoo to name the offending banks.
Let's take a look at them."
WOODROW IS ENDORSED
Richmond News Leader: "President
Wilson's unwillingness to accept the
endorsement of the New Jersey Dem
ocrats for a second term was right
n itself, and doubly right in contrast
with the conduct of recent executives
who need not be named.
"We venture to say that Woodrow
Wilson will not raise his hand to pro
lire tne Democratic nomination in
1916. We predict, also, that when
nominated he will not leave his post
to make campaign speeches or to ha
rangue political conventions.
"There are two reasons for our
forecast. The one is Woodrow Wil
son. The other is Woodrow Wilson's
record. He will not need to seek the
nomination. He will not need to ask
re-election."

The Times wants to know the reason
why? A very good question to ask,
if such is the case but we doubt the
