General Crozier dispelled a "little gloom," also, when he declared that the United States would never have need of the type of siege gun with which the Kaiser's forces have battled down the strong holds of Liege, Antwerp and other less important fort' resses.

THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1914. ' 50,000 is a big wad of money to refuse for the contract of a ball player, and Mack probably did just what any other manager would have done under the same condi tions, disposed of his crack second baseman, Eddie Col Hns, regarded by most baseball critics as the game's brainiest player. v ' Those Russians really give evidence of marathon qual ifications, if the Berlin reports can be trusted, for they certainly are running "some" since General Rennen kamp's deferred arrival spoiled the game of encircling the Germans, the "rules" for which, it is reported, were so nicely drawn by the Grand Duke. ; ; . And now comes along the protest from Germany that "dura-dura" bullets, whatever they are, are being manu factured in America for use by the British forces. If the charge is sustained, President Wilson will no doubt Btop the manufacture and also prevent the shipment of any that have already been made. The use of this variety of bullets is In violation of the rules of modern warfare, and the manufacture by American concerns is out of accord With the -administration's neutrality ideas. .f , , The Tree Press would respectfully call to the attention Of . the new Board of County Commissioners or the custo dian of the courthouse property, that a little sand placed A the corner of the square by the fountain, where water rtow stands practically all the time, would not be agree able to next year's mosquito crop, the propagators of whjch,. no, doubt, have already selected the spot as a suit able nesting place for the coming season. Later: It has just been discovered that somebody has swiped our "thunder" from the above suggestion, by fill !t in the hole. r;V- - f There Is more or less talk about swimming pools in churches, and some are inclined to deprecate the modern tendency of "religious architecture." There is no earthly reason why the young men and the young women of the churches should not be considered when the plans are drawn. The church habit is a good one, and those inno cent amusements and pastimes, which cultivate the habit, art but wielding wholesome Influences. The Y. M. C. A. has its gymnasium and its swimming pools, together with other forms of amusement, and no one can dispute the great benefit to society that this system of institutions, which belts the world, has wrought. Perhaps when the state-wide prohibition laws go into effect over in the "Mother of States" and the shipment of blind tiger booze to North Carolina ceases, it will be pos sible for Kinston to do away entirely with the city lock up, and thus save the expense of erecting a decent place to incarcerate the unruly. The abandonment of the jail in a prohibition town is not without precedent The ad vertisement of a certain Kansas sheriff a few months ago aaked for bids on his "hostelry." His reason for selling waa lack of patrons. Meridian, Missisnippi, frequently announces that the doors of its jail are thrown open to give the building an "airing" while there are no disorder lies to confine and ao the use of jails may, some of these days, be discontinued. That day is somewhat remote, however, at the present writing, and The Free Press cun find no possible excuse along that line or any other, for a continued use of the present "kennel." - The notion that some folks have about reading news papers is ludicrous. They think that because a certain page In the paper is their favorite that it is also the favor ite ef everybody else, and that for that reason everything of interest must be put on that particular page. In mak ing up a newspaper there is always a desire on the part of the editor to distribute the live news throughout the paper, as well as the interesting advertisements, so that each page may be readable and of interest. Otherwise there would be no good excuse for printing more than one page. Free Press readers are asked to begin at the left-hand corner of the top of page one and read straight through to the bottom of the right-hand corner of the last page, and then they will make sure that they do not miss ai article that will be of much interest to them. In dis playing the news it is always the aim to make the paper of most interest to the larger number of its patrons. HOW WILL WE CELEBRATE THE CHRISTMAS SEASON? Christmas comes but once a year, and it is important that its celebration be fittingly observed. There is a res ponsibility attached to this occasion which should not be oerlooked or treated unconcernedly. Christmas is the one "birthday party" that all the world should join in observing. It commemorates the natal day of the Sav iour of the world. Unfortunately, this fact has been so largely overlooked until a great number of people have come to regard the occasion as one of revelry and de bauchery, and they proceed to contribute their full share to make it such. The whiskey houses are flooding the mails with attractive offers and "suggestions" for the Christmas gift. Many good people, some, at other sea sons: Godly men and women have come to regard it as perfectly in order for them to prepare the "eggnog," spiked to a "king's" taste and to partake of the "spirits" liberally at the Christmas time. Much money is "burnt" up in fireworks and otherwise thrown away. The spirit of Christmas is very properly that of joy and good feel ing. It is the one time of all the year that every man, womanand child should throw aside their cares and dis likes and hail with gladness their fellows., But unfortun ately the conception of a "good time" is far too often the most direct contrast with the ideals of the "Giver of every good and perfect gift." The Christmas season is one of responsibility, especially so to those who have been blessed with more than the average of this world's goods. The right use of the "talents" is a matter which should and does absorb the attention of right thinking people. In a certain peculiar sense, at this season, "we are our brother's keeper," and it behooves the more fortunate to bring sunshine and gladness to those who are not of themselves possessed of the requisites. Let the season be one in which the spirit of love, as exemplified is the life and teachings of the Master, be dominant. Let there be no occasion for the discomforts of the proverbial "morning after."

Greensboro News: "If it is really true, as authoritatively asserted, that John Andreu, Portuguese, of Pittsburgh, has invented a fuel for explosion engines, a demonstrated sue cess for automobile use, which can be supplied to users at two cents a gallon, it is a sign that John is going to do business pretty soon with the Standard Oil Company. Or, perhaps, we should say, that the S. O. is going to do busi ncss with John." TIMES GETTING BETTER RIGHT ALONG Kalefgh News & Observer: "Exports from this to other countries are increasing very rapidly. Business paralyzed in Europe and the indications are that the United States will have all it can do filling the orders of Europe. There are undoubtedly busy times ahead The Richmond News Leader well says: "London wants to know what is the matter with America when it is estimated that a year of the war will add $500,000,000 to our foreign commerce. It thinks we do not know when we are well off. Certainly pessimists convey that i pression." VIRGINIA'S RELIEF SHIP TO SAIL Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch: "The Virginia relief ship which is to carry the contributions of this state to the Belgians will sail from Norfolk on December 20th. The ship is of fi.OfM) tons capacity, and so far a su fficient cargo to loud her has not been contributed. Gov. Stuart has issued a statement in which he calls upon the people of the state to ship quickly direct to Norfolk foodstuffs and clothing to complete the ship's cargo. Notwithstanding the many demands at this season for help among our own people it is to be hoped that the cargo of the relief ship from Virginia will be speedily completed. The time, however, is short and whatever is to be sent must be sent at once."

Telegram: "There will be thirty takers and users of gas in Rocky Mount before the end of the present week if there is no mishap in the plans of the business extension forces of the local plant. The work of connecting in the services is progressing rapidly, and while the city has installed a plant that is built for a city twice the size of Rocky Mount, and at an expense of about double that which would have been incurred had the franchise been given to a private company, Rocky Mount has added materially to its assets in municipal property, and it will not be a great while before our people will be realizing from the advantages of a cheaper fuel and at the same time getting better gas at a cheaper price than from a privately-owned monopoly, and all the time adding to the growth of our city. disappointed if it Superstitious people are always doesnt happen.
