"Barbecue and Cornbread" are not bad at all for a
Thanksgiving menu, and the county chain-gang no doubt
felt that the repast was the "best ever."
There will be, no doubt, almost as much rejoicing in
Berlin at the loss of the BritUh battleship Bulwark, re
ported to have been destroyed by an internal explosion
as if a German torpedo had done the work. A case of
reducing the "enemy" either way.

The Progressive Farmer suggests that "King Cotton
be made Servant Cotton." That's all right, but the truth
of the matter is the "King" has been foot bulled around
this year by spectacular and hysterical politicians until
It's question if it has not been put in service already.
' Sir Lloyd George says that Uncle Sam owes John Bull
five billion dollars. Well, if that is the case it might be
vise for the "old man" to get ready to pay up, for the
heavy pay-roll that John is carrying now will no doubt
make it necessary for him to cash in omall his outstand
ing assets.'

a fair example of the shame and chagrin that comes dally

nounces the resumption of the Frisco Railroad shops at
Kansas City after an idleness of three months. One by
one the machine shops, steel mills and other industrial
units of the country are starting their fires and pretty
soon .the hum of wheels will be so loud in this country

It is reported, that Carranza has already begun to vio
late his "indemnity" guarantee to President Wilson, in
which assurance was given that those Mexicans, who had
been in the employ of the United States during its occu
pation of Vera Cruz, would not be molested. The first ar
rest has been announced. No doubt "some other reason"
will be easily framed up for incarcerating all the "unde
sirables." , It will be surprising if the guarantee is not
evaded.

a patrol of Uhlans rode down to the

you dirty old Frenchman, you can
ferry us across; we are going to find
out which way your runaway army

The old man without saying a word

Raleigh News and Observer: "The new knitting mill

There i rumor abroad that the American soldiers
were fired upon as they embarked at Vera Crux to take
their leave. This rumor can he safely put aside as false,
for the report of the landing of the boys in this country
hai been announced from Galveuton, and it is quite safe
to assert that Genl Fred would have taken time to re
turn the shots if any had leen directed at his forces.
Some newspaper correspondent are a little too eager to
play to the galleries and "create excitement"
Real, lure enough, tangible results are in evidence in
Sampson county, which employed a health officer last
year. Clinton makes the phenomenal record of not having
had a single case of typhoid fever in the past twelve
months. The health officer led in tho work, hut he did
not accomplish the perfect results without the backing
of the people. There was co-operation, he says, and to
that spirit he attributes the really wonderful record. Dis
ease is on the run wherever the spirit of co-operation is
backing intelligent preventive and remedial methods.
The banishment of liquor from th State is cause for
Virginia's greatest thanksgiving, thinks the Richmond
Virginian. And no doubt it will prove to lie the case.
Liquor has but one function in society that is to create
trouble. The police courU are filled daily with its vic
tims! Only yesterday three young men of the city called
at The Free Press office and pleaded that their names In
left out of the news columns. Upon inquiry it developed
that they had gotten hold of some "blind tiger" or some
ther variety of the illicit stuff, and were out "having a
food time," as they expressed it Their idea of a good
time did rot evidently coincide with what the police
thought was good behavior, and they were accordingly
taken tip. Their request was granted with the caution
that it would not again be their good fortune to avoid
publicity if they had business with the police court Just make great difference in their fighting value."
A RICH STATE
Charlotte Observer:
State,' ventures The Raleigh Times. It is not a poor State,
It has assets which reduce its per capita of indebtedness
to a figure lower than that of any other 'State in the
Union. It hus the eush and the equivalent of cash that
make it the richest Commonwealth in the United States
Perhaps it is because our own people are in the habit of
talking about being poor that the outside world has gained
the impression that North Carolina is a poor State. North
Carolina is rich and is becoming richer every year."

Rnleigh Times: "Rising in superb magnificence, the

finest in the State. It is rapidly assuming definite shape
Although it is hidden from view by the old structure, a
close observance of it reveals the fact that it is to be n
truly pretty piece of architecture and a substantial edifice
of which the whole State as well as Wake county should
be proud. It will be a fitting companion for the newly-
remodeled postoffice and a monument to the efforts of
those having its building in charge."

IT OUGHT TO HE DISCFSSED
Winaton-Salem Journal: "Whenever talk of the re-es
tablishment of peace ufter the present war comes up, dis
armament or the reduction of armaments is sure to be an
important issue. Just how the nations shall effect a pro
gram of disarming is a vexed question. The Encyclo
paedia Rritannica cites as 'the only existing case of con
tractual reduction of armaments," the Disarmament
Ajrroement of the 'JSth of May, W1, between the Chilian
and Argentina Republics. Hy this agreement the two
governments arranged to reduce their fleets "according
i an arrangement establishing u reasonable proportion
between the two fleets, and respectively promised not to
increase their maritime armaments during five years, un
less the one who shall wish to increase them shall give
the other eighteen months' notice in advance."
"The Britannica authority points out that an agreement
of this ktnd is more feasible among States whose navies
are small, because in the case of large navies it would
be difficult to agree on a principle for assessment of the
