Evi dently The Free Press's suggestion to borrow labor from some of the neigh boring cities was not made earlier enough. 1 In 1910 there were in use in Kin ston 380 telephone.

The War Lord certainly is putting up a great scrap and it appears that the combined elToiU of the Allies is !eing taxed to the utmost to keep the Kaiser's forces from completely over running the countnes on lioth side of his king I ni. Cirrus day tomorrow, llriuc no tobacco hides or campaign . peci hc. Killston's spell b.ndei ., although they'ie "some talkers," can't hold a handle to the circus for drawing tin crowd:.. 'lh- tobacco men say the scarcity of labor on .such occasions i their "only" reason for shutting up nhop for the day. I!e that as it may, the circus takes the cuke. It is the morning after with the Athletics, and it lias been a costly "celebration" for them, too. They not only feel the sting of defeat, but the loan of the long end of the gate re ceipts will be missed. Turn about is fair play, and it is only right that the coveted world's championship pen nant should be passed around. Too much success is had for any team or individual, for that matter, and a few reverses are really needed to preserve the equilibrium. There was once a Sunday school, which was accustomed to present a banner each Sunday morning to the class making the largest offering, and when the pastor organized a class of Chinamen their great delight was to be the banner class and it came to the point that the "laundrymen" took the banner every Sunday. The officers of the school then determined to have two banners in order that some of the other classes would have an op portunity to be a banner class. If 1'hiladelphia had kept on winning the World's Championship, some such plan would have had to be devised for the benefit of the other fifteen teams of the two big leagues. READ IT FIKST IN THE FREE I'RESS The Free Tress has received a number of congratulations on the enterprise" displayed in furnishing to its readers the detailed results of the World's baseball championship series games. This venture was quite a de parture for the smaller city dailies, and it is probably correct that The Free I'ress readers were the only ones in the State, except in the two or three largest cities, who were giv en the full report following the games each day. This service was not fur nished as a nil iif v-niakei- for the ev tra 'pen i i:;, ( .!! -ub-ra'MV g'o it- than the rts , i f :!-.

SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN'S MISTAKE The southern congressmen are mak ing a mistake in undertaking to put through class legislation for the re lief of cotton, when practically every other industry in all the country is suffering relatively as much as cotton. The government cannot afford to set a precedent for coming to the relief of any single industry by making special legislation favoring that in dustry. The credit of the nation must not be impaired by such legislation, as certainly it would be if the cotton relief bills now pending were enacted and if the precedent thus set was fol lowed with other industries. Presi dent Wilson will most probably veto any such bill, should it be passed, which is highly improbable, and it would only be right that he should. President Cleveland had some such situation to contend with when a cer tain portion of the Texas crop was destroyed. Congress was asked to make an appropriation of $100,000 or more, and Mr. Cleveland took a very decided stand against the movement ami succeeded in checking it. Cotton must .vtand on its own pegs. Its cred it, like that of other commodities, de pends upon its market value, and un til the market is restored there will be no lasting remedy. Our congress men should not undertake to use the power, that may be vested in the par ty in authority, for such legislation, for there will surety be a reaction against the administration without any remedial benefit to cotton. GERMANS SURPRISED WHEN ORDERED TO FIGHT BELGIANS Brussels, Sept. 25 (By Mail to New York). A German non-commissioned officer, brought to a hospital here, told of how surprised the Ger man troops were when they were first sent against the Belgians. "I was wounded at the engagement at Warsage," he said. "It was a fierce engagement and the Belgians soldiers beat us badly. We were told that we must cross Belgium by railway to get into France. "Imagine our surprise, therefore, when on arriving in the proximity of the frontier my regiment was order ed to march towards Belgium. Then they told us that we were going to fight the Belgians, who attempted to hinder our crossing their territory, adding that it was for my country life or death." DR. O. S.
