THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3. 1914" The shopping days have been reduced to nineteen. Have you made a start? Get busy and get the "shop early habit." The mutual benefit of purchaser, salesman and merchant all demand it. Some army officers are akin to "walking delegates" in that they are eternally trying to stir up trouble. And they really do occupy somewhat similar places for should wars cease the numler of epaulettes will be greatly re duced, and it is a well known fact that the "walking dole gate" has to be "starting something" all the time or elite his job ceases. The middle western folks are now paying two and one- half cents per mile for railroad tickets, and they think they are awfully taxed. We poor "crittura" down in the Southeastern Passenger Association circles, have been paying that, or more, all the time, except where we could rake up twenty whole simoleons at one time to afford the luxury of a mileage book. Ma. The Free Press congratulates the Chamber of Com merce in its selection of officers, and congratulates Mr. Canady in the honor shown him. President Canady and Secretary Sutton may rest assured that the influence of this paper will always be lent to whatever plans they may have for the betterment and upbuilding of this city and district. 1 KINSTON'S NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING The news thut the government is adverting for bids for the conduction of Kington's new postofflee building, and that the bids will be opened early in January, is very welcome. With the possible exception of the churches Kinston has very little in the way of attractive and well appointed public and business buildings to boast of. With the completion of the splendid seventy-thousand-dollar government building, the attractiveness of Queen street will le added to very much. Then when the financial con ditions of the country warrant a further campaign for adequate depot facilities for Kinston and the railrouda yield to the inevitable another long felt need will be filled. A new and commodious courthouse will be built sooner or later, the streets will be paved, one or two new office buildings will be erected and Kinaton will reflect, in its outward appearance, its real importance as a thriving, irrowinir citr in a fertile and prosperous section. It is certainly to be hoped that the first call for bids for Uncle Snm'a building will meet with satisfactory responses, and that there may Ito no more delays in the netuul building operation thnn is necessarily incident to the red tape routine of affairs governmental.

"..mi. -' i:s..)i ..i -rrir&l The Chicago working girls are up in arms at the sug- gestion that society women are to act as chaperones for them at the public dances, and to see that they dress modestly. The point of the girls, that many of the socie ty dames need looking after themselves in these parti cular!, will be "well taken" by the average citizen, who baa looked on at some of the affairs and rcud a few accounts. a r Diversify your crops is the advice that has become so common that it hardly attracts passing attention any longer. But judging from the results, that have been obtained in some sections in the past, the "over supply of advice" hasn't hurt anything, for there is little evi dence that much attention has ever been paid to it. The cotton farmer will no doubt realise which side his bread la buttered on after this season. Bishop Kilgo't attack on the Trinity Sophomore class for the prank of someone, supposedly of its members, in hanging the clasa emblem to the flag staff, would seem to be a little unjust to the student lody. The class has had a meeting and disowned any previous knowledge of the affair, and it, by resolution, disagrees with the posi tion taken by the Bishop in that the class should ferret out the "culprit" The Bishop handled the boys with "gloves off," and threatened to withdraw his connection with the college should certain redress not be made by the Sophomore class as a body. We are not informed ns to What rule of the college, if any, was violated, but nt most, the offense doesn't appear to !e so serious as to warrant the whole class being branded as "scoundrels," and the withdrawn! of the high ofneinl connection. Hoys will be boys, and no doubt there was little serious thought on the part of those guilty of the substitution of class colors for "Old Glory." GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSITIES Governor Craig is urging the fulfillment of the party pledge with reference to Federal aid for gotxl roads. To this end he has written President Wilson expressing his earnest hope that Congress will, nt the coming session. pass a good roads bill. There is perhaps no more im portant mutter to come before the Congress at this ses sion. Good roads are absolutely essential to the proper development of the rural sections of this country. Gov ernment aid and leadership is needed in the majority of localities to get the work started and a system of great national highways traversing the length and breadth of America should be the ultimate aim. There was in the outset much opposition to bond issues and additional taxes for road building on the part of the farmers, for they felt that the principal benefit was to be derived by the city people, who owned automobiles. This animosity has dis appeared largely, where good roads have been built, for the farmer has very quickly learned that he is the chief beneficiary, because he can haul four or five times as much as over the bad roads und the tax on hissto ck is nothing like ho grant. One mule can haul a load to market over good road;) that four could not budge on some of the "bot tomless" roads, where improvements have not been made. Then, too, the farmers are getting the "auto habit" and the machine is becoming more and more a necessity for him rather than a luxury. The good roads movement should be encouraged by State and National legislation for good roads ure necessities. -JH a7 J? TT I KINSTON LOAN & REAL ESTATE CO.

The Chamlier during the past year, under the guid ance of retiring President J. F. Taylor ami Secretary Fred. Sutton, has been a large factor in setting in motion many movements of vital importance to this locality. Much of the good work inaugurated last year is yet un rinishtd, and it was highly important that those, upon whom would devolve the responsibility for carrying out the plans, already under way, should be carefully chosen. Mr. Canady is one of the district's most successful young business men. Possessing the energy of the young man and the experience of success in his own affairs, coupled with the fsct that he has unbounded faith in the possibili ties of his city, and county, and is an optimist with a vision for planning big things, makes his choice pecul ioily fortunate. Improvement of roads and railroad ex tension will be two of the foremost objects for the Civic Chamber, and the plans already laid for these very im IorUnt matter will be carried out as rapidly as possi- WHAT OTHERS SAY UJMM SHOULD !

COTTON IN THE MOUNTAINS Charlotte Obxorvcr: "In spenking of North Carolina' production of cotton, the Wilmington Star thinks it strange 'there are people in Western North Carolina who never saw a stalk of cotton." In Alleghany county in tho region of which The Star says cotton cannot Iw produced, grows a fine grade of cotton, but not, of course commercially. Hut cotton grows in Alleghany, where patches of it have been cultivated for curiosity, as in the neighboring counties. Cotton will grow anywhere in North Carolina, as abundantly fruited in the mountains as in the cotton belt. The trouble in the mountain coun tries is that the frost comes so early the cotton bolls cannot mature. That is the only difference. Caldwell. Ilurke and Rutherford are mountain counties and are regular cotton producers, rating in percentage of yield the same as Alamance. Oranire and Durham in the northern Ixmler of the belt, and Pender.
