"Easymeal" (spelled Przemysl) is
evidently not as easy as its name in

The circus coming to Kinston not
only altered the speaking program of
the Democratic County campaign, but
now the tobacconists have yielded to
the call of the steam piano and the
elephant and called off the sales for
Thursday. The farmers of the county
nd elsewhere, who are preparing to
bring their tobacco here to be sold on
Thursday, can just come along, take
in the circus, and make the buyers
hump on Friday.

Stallings Braves have upset all
pre-play predictions and have only
one game to win in order to take the
"rag" and the big end of the gate re
ceipts. On the other hand the Ath
letics must win four straight. Thin
would not be without precedent, for
back in 1903 the Pittsburghs took
three straight games of the World's
aeries from the Boston Americana
mod then lost the title. There is a
feeling in sporting circles now that
it will take more than precedent to
pull the Athletics out of the hole
this year.
The county campaign opens today
at Kennedy's Mill. Hon. Emmet R.
Wootcn, Representative from Lenoir
nd candidate for re-election, will
talk about the Constitutional Amend
ments. Mr. Wooten was a member
of the commission, which framed the
amendments and ho is therefore
thoroughly qualified to handle tho
subject. Let the voters of the coun
ty take time to hour the arguments
on the amendments in-order that they
may be in position to cast an intelli
gent vote when the elections in No,
vember are called.
Some of the large department stores
of the country are taking up the slo
gan "Made in America" goods, and
are conducting sales, A big firm, one
of the largest in the entire South, The
Loveman Joseph and Loeb Depart
ment Stores of Birmingham, have
had a week of a sale of all "Made in
U. S. A." goods. Nothing was ad
vertised in any of the departments
except American made stuff and the
idea took like wild fire. Why not? h
is possible for American made goods
to excel the makes of any other na
tions. The workmen here are just
as skilled and the materials can be
gotten as readily as they can any
where. Let the "Made in America"
idea take hold. Support home indus
tries and begin actually at home. For
instance, let Kinstonians begin in Kin
ston. KEEP THK
INDUSTRIES GOING
The tobacco industry, as usual, is
taking up all the surplus labor in am)
around Kinston, and from the com
plaints heard from housewives It is
taking more than the "surplus," for
there are some ordinarily pood steady
cooks and house pirls. reported , as
"sick" or "greatly in need of a re.t."
The story carried by The Free Press
Monday that the silk mills would per
haps have to close down on account
of the scarcity of labor should attract
outsider, and there should be an in
flux of workers. The Chamber of
( Commerce might confer .with' ome of
the sister cities and borrow some tf
their surplus labor f the .mill or
the iroad fang might be induced to
jlomi a "timer" or two. Just anyway
to keep the industries, that arc run
ning, going.
MISUNDERSTOOD
ORDINANCE
Fortunately for Kinston and the
police department, a city blue-coat
will not be called upon to act as milk
inspector under the new law. There
was a misunderstanding of the
clause providing that the inspector
fchcuM neve police power. Assurances
are fciven by the administration oft
tic's that the purpose and intent of
the ordinance is to have one qualified
man, a graduate veterinarian, to look
nftcr both the meat and milk inspec
tion end also to see that premises in
the city, both business and residen
tial, shall be kept in a sanitary con
dition. It is perfectly right that the in
spector should be clothed with police
power and such other authority as to
make his work effective. Every good
citizen of Kinston should make it a
point to co-operate with the inspector
to make the city clean and sanitary.
There will no doubt be some who will
resent any inspection of their prem
ises, but this should not retard the
work, and it will not, if the man se
lected is what the authorities claim
he will be and what they hope to get.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
FENCE IT IN
Charlotte Observer: "Recently a
lively revival of religion was closed
in Siler City. This has been follow
ed by an agreement between the mer
chants not to sell cigarettes at any
time or under any circumstances, and
to sell no goods of any sort on Sun
day, after October 11. That is com
mendable, but while they are being
moved by the spirit the agreement
should have a clincher making it gooa
for a year, or some other stated pe
riod. It may not hold long unless
fenced in."
INTERFERING WITH
PERSONAL LIBERTY
Rock Hill Herald: "If we ought to
have laws to regulate the number or
acres of cotton a farmer shall plant,
should we not have laws regulating
the amount of merchandise a dealer
shall sell or the amount of money e
man shall spend for railroad fare and
hotel bills when he travels? If this
thing gets a start and becomes popu
lnr, we will probably have in Soutn
Carolina a law regulating the price
of newspapers and forcing all of tha
dailies to print fifty or a hundred
pages every day."
GOOD BUSINESS TALK
Wilmington Star: "Advertising is
letting people know you are holding
an impregnable line of business. An
advertisement properly written is real
news that you have necessary and
desirable articles for sale. When the
censor stops the supply of news from
Europe, people don't know what the
armies are doing. When a merchant
stops advertising, people have no way
of knowing what he is doing. It's
all right for armies to entrench, but
they hold on to their nolsemakers.
It's all right for a merchant to re
trench, but cutting out his noisemak
ers is poor economy. So long as a
store door is open for a business a
merchant should at least advertise tho
fact. When times iret tiirht loosen
them up by an advertisement. An
'ad' is simply business news."
UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT NOW IN SESSION.
(Continued from Page One.)
nia hangs on the arguments in the
case of Antonio Maria Per Alta and
others, against the State of Califor
nia. In patents issued prior to 1S77,
it is nlleged, fraudulent surveys were
inserted. The title to this enormous
ly valuable land dates back to an ori
ginal grant by the Governor of Alta
to Luis Peralta, in 1820.
Negro Sues Texas.
A most interesting case to the white
people of the South set for early ar
gument. is that of Carl Oliver, against
tho State oi' Texas. OiU-er is a ne
gro, ami was indicted for the mtmle
of Robert i. Stanley in June, 1010.
Since then the case has b?en dra?
gmg its way through the courts. Tho
juestion which will be put up to tho
Supreme Court for decision, howevo,
is the fact that all negroes were ex
cluded frcm the grand jury, and only
white men were permitted to serve.
.Meat Inspection Issue.
The effectiveness of the meat in
speclion act is thought by govern
ment officials to hang upon the deci
sion of the case of the United States
U O Ud O LWO
Instant Relief for
J. E. HOOD & COMPANY,
versus Charles Lewis, Lewis Howard,
Fred. Williams and James McBee.
These men were charged with viola
tion of the meat inspection law by
destroying government seals on the
freight cars containing meat and
meat products. Their guilt is not the
auestion which is put up to the Su
preme Court, but whether tho law ex
empted persons other than those "en
gaged in the business of preparing
meats for transportation" or in "car
rying or assisting in the carrying of
such meats in interstate transporta
tion." The government concedes that
these men cannot be convicted if it
is held that these two classes are
alone affected by the law.
More Technicalities.
A somewhat similar question will
be argued before the Supreme Court
in the case of the United States ver
sus William C. Nixon, W. B. Biddle,
and Thomas H. West, receivers for
the St. Louis and San Francisco Rail
road Co. The receivers were indict
ed for failure to placard their cars
and to stamp the words "Southern
Cattle" upon waybills, manifests and
bills of lading. The lower court
quashed the indictment on the ground
thai; the act did not include receivers
of railroad companies.
U. S. SUPREME COURT
STARTS FALL TERM
New Justice James C. McReynoIds
Takes Oath of Office With An
cient Ceremony in Evidence
For Such Occasion.
Washington, Oct. 12 With impres
sive century-old ceremonies, the U.
S. Supreme Court convened today for
the October term, after the four
months' recess. The final oath was
administered to James C. McReyn
oIds, who with this ceremony became
a full fledged justice.
After the due cries of the court
crier the members of the court filed in
from the ante-room and took their
places along the bench. McReynoIds
entered just behind them nd took
his place beside the clerk, just in
front where ne stationed himself all
last year was attorney genera,! of the
United States.
Chief Justice White then called at
tention to the fact that there was a
vacancy on the bench, and that James
C. McReynoIds of Tennessee was
present and duly accredited and qual
ified for the position. He greeted his
new colleague and welcomed him to
the bench in the name of the entire
court.
After this the clerk of the court.
James D. Maher, administered the
"Justice" oath to McReynoIds. The
oath to support the constitution was
administered a month ago by Chief
Justice White, but the oath today
bound the new justice to administer
justice impartially between rich and
poor, and was the final step in admit
ting McReynoIds to the Supreme
bench.
After taking the oath Justice Mc
ReynoIds was escorted to the vacant
place on the bench by the marshall.
His sent is on the extreme left of the
Chief Justice, or on the extreme right
as one fnces the com.
Immediately after :': the Solicitor
General of the United States, John
W. Davis rose, and intred i to the
court as the new attorney G?r.. ral of
the United States, Thomas W. Greg
ory, who succeeded Justice McReyn
oIds in Wilson's cabinet.
With the ceremonies and formali
ties disposed of, Chief Justice White
announced the death, just three
months ago today, of Justice Lurton,
in whose place McReynoIds was ap
pointed. With thi3 announcement the
court adjourned out of respect to his
memory. No decisions were handed
down today.
After leaving the court room the
justices drove to the White House to
pay their respects to President Wil
son, and notified him that the court
was again in session.
The first "decision day" will be next
Monday. Less than two score cases
very few of importance remain in
"the breast of the court" undecided.
