The new reserve bank for this dis
trict, with headquarters at Richmond,
has completed its organization, and
it now ready for business. It is to be
hoped that it will measure up to what
was expected of it and relieve the
pressure somewhat.
A headline reads "Harmony in
Mexico." About the most perfect
contradiction which could be phrased,
for if there is any one word known
that suggests to us more of the op
posite of harmony than does Mexi
co, we fail to recall it.
"Big Injun Bender," hero of many
a national league scalp, will probably
head the American clan in the first
contest today. (This is written in ad
vance, of course,) and friends of the
Junior big league are confident that
another feather will be in order for
the "old man's" cap.
ting used to the million figures, and
they no longer huve that awe-inspiring

Oxford University (England) open
ed its doors yesterday. Naturally a
great decrease in the attendance was
noted, for many of the students have
responded to their countries' call and
are now at the front. The University
authorities have announced that no
loss in standing will be suffered by
the patriots.
Today the battle for the World's
Championship in the baseball arena
will occupy a few inches on the front
pages and perhaps some uf the more
"courageous" editors will crowd the
war story to an inside page while
the series of games lasts. The Free
Press will give some front page space
to the results each day.
The Japanese propensity for occu
pying new territory under the guise
of "temporary war expediency" is
causing more or less anxiety in offi
cial circles, and well it may, for the
little Yellow fellow is looking out for
NUMBER ONE, and you can always
bet on him holding on to all he gets
if there is any possible way to do it.
King Albert is 'said to be still in
Antwerp, although the Germans are
knocking at the front door. The Bel
gians have already demonstrated to
the world that they were a brave and
courageous people, and there is no
need of the King running such great
risk of occupying a German dungeon
until the end of the struggle. I.et
him keep at a safe distance from the
f
siege guns.
When the Lenoir County Live Stock
Association gets a year or two's start
it will be possible at this time of the
year when all the other sections of
the State are advertising their
"State" fairs for Kinston to invite
visitors from far and near to comt
and see an old-time stock fair with
real live home-grown exhibits like
the pictures show.
The "wear cotton clothes" move
ment hasn't taken hold in Kinston
like it has done elsewhere. One or
two of the local merchants have ad
vertised cotton goods sales as a head
liner, but there has been no concerted
action. Why not get together and
have a cotton goods week all cur
own? Kinston's fair sex will set off
a "calico" as well as any other set
of damsels, and we would go a lit
, further, and say just a little better.
Mr. Voter, have you read the ten
amendments, which you are called
upon to pass judgment on in the
coming election ?If you haven't a
copy, do you understand that you can
get a complete draft of the constitu
tion with the proposed changes by
applying to the Register of Deeds.
Call in person or enclose a two-cent
stamp to cover postage with your ad
dress and the Register will do the
rest.
From the size of the army, more
than million and a half men, the
Ormana tent to take Antwerp it does
not appear that the story, that they
were using every available man to
s keep back the Allies on the one side
and Cossacks on the other, was very
, well founded. But then we are get
Speculators have gotten hold of the
best seats to the world's champior
vhip games, and are said to be ask
ing fabulous prices for them. It is
a strange thing that the management
of the big series have never been able
to regulate the ticket sale. There is
a pretense at limiting the number of
tickets sold to each purchaser, and if
the rule is strictly adhered to it does
not seem to be possible for any large
block of the best seats to be controll
ed by speculators. There has been
some suggestion from season to sea
son that the "sharpers" have confed
erates in the ticket boxes.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
RICHMOND BANK READY
Richmond Virginian: "As usual,
Richmond pilots the way with her re
serve bank. We note with pleasure
that the governor of the bank is Mr.
George J. Seay, who had so large a
part in bringing the institution to
this city. We-feel that with the
character of men placed at the head
of our bank we need have no fear
that it will surrender its primacy to
any other member of the reserve bank
family.
And now with organization com
pleted, the thing to do is to get the
machinery started as soon as possi
ble that the people may have the
benefit of tho bunks and the party
that made them possible may have
the benefit of the people's approval."
NOT BEING GUILTY. WE CAN
ENDORSE
Wilmington Dispatch: "Secretary
McAdoo takes a 'crack' at individu
als who are hoarding money. Cor
rect. There are many of this class.
In some communities there have been
many before, but the present time
has developed more and their pres
ence has been felt in more painful
way. There are two types; one who
is just miserly and hides his money
in an old socfl, or the like, instead of
placing it intheba
placing it in tho bank, where it would
benefit him more and be secure, and
the other is the rich man who does
not invest his money. Of what help
is a rich man to a community if he is
not going to invest his money? Sim
ply because he is rich amounts to
nothing for the community.
Secretary McAdoo makes the time
ly observation that there is no rea
son why business should not pursue
its regular course. And there isn't.
In fact, it is the scary nature of some
folks, the mental cloud that they have
gathered unto themselves, without
reason, that is causing a depression."
ake it impossible to procure this in
a true artist, the sensible course is
ih.it which Hanover, Bedford and a
few other counties have pursued to
erect a simple, tasteful monument
and to rely upon the inscription for
the effect on the observer.
"Hanover has done this admirably.
From a wide base rises a plain obe
lisk, ornamented only with the cross
ed banners of Virginia and the South,
containing the name, command and
military rank of every soldier from
Hanover county in the Confederate
army. The list speaks for itself as
an evidence of consecrated patriot
ism, for it includes the total male
population able to bear arms in Han
over during the course of the war.
"The whole is so graceful, so
beautiful and so impressive that the
good people of Hanover should send
a photograph of it to every county,
to every Confederate camp and to
every chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy in Virginia. It is
worthy to rank as a model for futur.'
monuments. "
BAD BEAST WITH
ROBINSON'S CIRCUS
WHERE -DE MELONS AND
TATERS GROW"
Richmond News Leader: "As a
monument not only to past valor but
to present good taste we commend
the Confederate memorial recently
unveiled at Hanover Courthouse.
"The massive shaft, with its re
markable tablets, is in refreshing
contract with some so-called monu
ments that have been foisted upon
the people of Virginia. Our readers
know them; on a granite base stands
a Confederate "soldier," as clumsy
as a misshapen clown, poised like a
weary ditch-digger with a vacant
face in keeping. One glimpse of
such a monument is enough to de
press. "The Confederate jause combined
as have few issues ever put to the
sword test all that was ideal, grace
ful, aspiring and sympathetic in hu
man life. To be typified in stone or
bronze, this cause demands genius of
the first order. Where lack of funds
Among wild beasts brought from
Africa some time ago by an expe
dition sent out by Robinston's circus,
which will show here next Thursday,
wa a splendid specimen of the lion
tribe. Last winter the big lion, "Ruf
fo", was quartered in an ordinary
cage at the Robinson quarters, while
nearby were corraled the elephants
of the show.
The lion soon proved that he was
too powerful for any ordinary cage,
as strongly as they are built. He bent
the iron bars aside and leaped onto
the back of old "Ding," one of the
largest elephants in the Robinson
herd. With a roar he sank his teeth
into the tough hide of the elephant
pulling and jerking viciously. Taken
entirely by surprise, Ding trumpeted
wildly and endeavored to break his
chains. Failing in this, he turned his
attention to the lion. Winding his
powerful trunk around the lion's
body, he pulled him loose from his
hold, slammed him on the ground and
atempted to tusk hini. IJut the lion
grabbed into the elephant's thror.t
and fastened his fangs deep into the
flesh.
Ding thrashed and roared, and all
the other animals joined in the urv
earthly chorus, and pandemonium
ruled.
For a moment the keepers were un
nerved at the fearful spectacle, but
not for long. Procuring a chain, they
made a slip noose at one end and at
tached the other end to a rope and
fall that hung from aloft. At the risk
of their lives they placed the chain
around the lion's body, back of the
fore arms. Hoisting away, they soon
had the fierce king of beasts swinging
high in the air, snarling, twisting,
biting at the chain, making a sight
that made the blood run cold. The
keepers then swung him to the door
of another den, pushed him inside and
confined him securely.
New Remedy That Heals Eczema
Quickly.
J. E. Hoed & Co. sold hundreds of
jars of Hokara, and although they of
fered to refund the purchase price
to any dissatisfied purchaser, not o:ie
jar has been returned.
While this is surprising in itself,
yet the most marvelous thing is the
reports of chronic cases of eczema
that have been cured by this simple
skin food. People who have suffered
with scales, scabs and even bleed
ing itching, have found relief in Ho
kara. No matter where the eczema, pim
ples or other breaking out occurs,
whether on the face, hands, legs or
body, the application of Hokara
should give quick relief, and even the
worst or most chronic cases should
be cured in a short time.
You can buy a liberal-sized jar to
day at the very low price of 25c, and
with every package goes J. E. Hood
& Co.'s guarantee to refund the mon
ey if it is not satisfactory. adv.
