fha new teachers for the Kinston schools is but anoth
er Indication of the city'a growth. The Trustees will
soon have to begin planning for another new building if
' all tha indications of continued growth keep up.
' Specifications and plans for the new Federal building
' to adorn tha Corner of Queen and North Street are now
at tha local postofllce and the "boys" who look after
Unci Sam's business in that quarter, are busily engaged
la finding out all aboai the new building and in picking
oat their own particular "roosts."
v The "Honor Roll" of the Kinston Schools is today pub
"'. Ushed elsewhere in this paper, and it ia a lengthy one. Con-
gratulations to the boys and girls, who are in the "honor
able mention" columns, and success to those who were
' left this time but who have determined to be on hand when
the next report gd out
' John Smith, a dasky citiien of Craven county, has been
taken op for alleged stealing of cross ties. Some of
John's color will steal anything that is movable. Just
ems to be a "sorter" fascination about the "lifting"
game that they can't resist. Some white folks suffe?
from the same disease but It is called kleptomania for
"abort" -
v The cotton crop ia the largest hat has ever been pro.
duced, according to Government statistics, but the money
value is tha smallest In the last five years. "Big business"
pens on a small margin, and has to depend upon great
volume to produce tha dividends. Cotton producers will
have to follow tha example of the high finance experts
this year.

, There are but nine full shopping days left before Santa
Clans' certain arrival. All we have to say is to repeat
tha aft Ignored advice and aay "shop early." Shop early
In the week, beginning In tha forenoon Monday and ar
range your plans so that there may be no after supper
rashes. Let the shop girls have a chance to get their
Santa Claua plans arranged.

. Today the force is giving the "old press," which served
ao'long and faithfully a fond farewell. The old machine
ia being aent to an Atlanta Supply house, by request of
tha R. Hoe Printing Press Company, which furnished The
Free Press with its Cox Duplex press. The "old fellow"
will be overhauled and find a home somewhere among the
fraternity.
It haa Just come to light that there are no Red Cross
Seals on sale in Kinston and interested purchasers are
making inquiry about tha supply. The Free Press re
grets that it is not in position to give Information off
hand as to the nearest supply source but if anybody knows
the address of the nearest committee this paper would be
glad to have it and will undertake to see that the local
: patrons are supplied at once.
Today was the first distribution day for the splendid
dictionary that The Freo Press has arranged to furnish,
; its patrons at a amaU'outlay, provided they clip six conse
cutively dated coupons, appearing in the paper each day.
The aupply is necessarily limited, but the management
hopes to be able to secure a sufficient quantity to fur
nish everybody in this district, who wanU a handy ref
erence book. School children, stenographers and others
requiring a convenient dictionary will do well to clip the
coupons.
It appears to ba moving tima for tha. German warships
which ara"it large In the Atlantic, and which have been
interrupting ocean commerce more or less. The announce
ment is made that Admiral Sturdee of the British squad
ron has inetructiona to remain in the water of the At
lantic until all the enemies craft have been, either sunk
or captured. ' Judging from the past record of the Kais
er's fightera, the sinking of his ships will be the outcome
If they are overtaken by superior British forces. Neither
side teems to give any indication, of preferring surren
der to a watery grave. t

The sudden death of Honorable Sereno E. Payne of
New York in his Washington apartments Thursday night
removes from public life one of its most prominent figures.
In length of Bervice Mr. Payne was one of the ranking
members of the Congress. More than thirty years had
he represented his district. He was the House Leader
under the last Republican rule, and was the joint Buthor
with Senator Aldrich of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
which was in effect prior to the Underwood-Simmons bill.
The death of Mr. Payne was amid pathetic circumstances.
It is reported that he died alone in his apartments, where
he had been living by himself since the death of his wife
a few years ago.
The suggestion of President Canady of the Chamber
of Commerce for a Lenoir Fair, to be held annually in
Kinston, is worthy the consideration of every citizen of
Kinston and Lenoir county. The committee appointed to
devise ways and means for the project is headed by ex
President Taylor of the civic body, and he is assisted by
some of the leading men of the city. There is no doubt
that a fair properly arranged for and conducted here
would be a great benefit to the district. First, it would
servo to stimulate home production. The farmers of the
county, or adjoining counties, would take pride in vieing
with each other, and after a few years the "home raised"
idea could be so instilled into the people as to make the
importation of foodstuffs for Kinston practically an un
known thing. Why not? The railroads would just as
soon haul exports as imports, and the money from ex
port would come to Kinston and be deposited in Kinston';
banks and put in circulation among Kinston's merchants
instead of being sent away, as it is necessary to do now
It is nothing unugual for those who travel about th
country extensively to come here and tell us that we
are just playing with our opportunities and sooner or
later we will awaken to the situation. The Fair would
not only stimulate "home grown" products, but it would
advertise the district and bring people here to exhibit
their wares, and to visit the displays of the home folks
The Free Press hopes that Chairman Taylor and his com
mittee will be able to find the way to make "Lenoir'i
Fair" a certainty.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
PERHAPS JUDGE IS IN FAVOR OF EUGENICS
Greensboro Ne-.vs: "In New York they have found
another cause for divorce: "tuberculosis contracted be
fore marriage and concealed from the other party."
Justice Blancharri in annulling the marriage of Sara
Sobel to Joseph Sobel holds that the complaint of Mrs,
Sobel that her hu iband was afflicted with tuberculosis be
fore she married him and that he concealed the fact from
her was sufficient ground for divorce. We don't know
how Joseph feels about it but it looks like Sara's bows
"in sickness and health" has become a mociery."
FRENCH SHIPS IN THE NORTH SEA
Richmond News Leader: "Speaking of naval opera
tions, did our readers note in yesterday's dispatches from
West Flanders that British and French warships were
covering the allies' extreme left on the Yser? This, the
first mention of French ships outside the Mediterranean
means that the tillies are so confident of their strength
in that sea that they have brought a part of the French
fleet to the North sea and thereby huve increased the odds
againBt von Tirpitz.
We wonder what M. Pecasse said when he observed
the forces he hud sought to consolidate mustering so
strongly against the Germans?"
THE BISHOP WENT TOO FAR
Raleigh Times: "The Statesville Landmark, in dis
cussing the Trinity College flag incident, commends the
officers of that college for their stand for discipline. That
is ono thing the trustees and faculty of Trinity do insist
on and they are to be commended, but would The Land
mark have the rime respect for the sophomore class if
they had submitted to what they considered an indignity
and humilation without making a dignified protest?
Their outspoken position will be worth more to the col
lege than if they had tamely submitted to what they be
lieved was an unpardonable affront. They did it in a
manly way, and we have heard nothing but commenda
tion for them on every side."

Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough
When you first eaten a Cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough),
break it up at once. The idea that "It
does not matter" often leads to seri
ous complications. The remedy which
immedaitely and easily penetrate
the lining of the throat is the kind de
manded. Dr. King's New Discovery ,
soothe the irritation, loosens the '
phlegm. You feel better at once. "It
seemed to reach the very spot of my
Cough" 1 one of many honest testi

monly spoken in the Austrian empire
together with a goodly number of di
alect "cuss-word."
Despite this eeming friendliness,
there is never a relation for a mom
ent either in the military precautions
or in the consciousness on both sides
that the instant the order comes to
fight, it means fight to the last man.
The Austrians change their men ir.
the trenches every 24 hours. The
Servians, being numerically inferior,
are not able to do so, and the men now
in the trenches have been there for a
month without change. The odor ol
decaying bodies, which lie between the
two trenches, rises .also constantly t
the nostrils of both armies, but de
spite the menace of this, and despite
the seeming friendliness between the
two lines, there is not a man who doe:
not know that to venture forth even to
bury cr drag away the corpses, would
mean instant death.
YOUR COLD IS DANCEROUS
BREAK IT UP NOW
A Cold is readily catching. A run
down system is susceptible to Germs.
You owe it to yourself and to others
of your household to fiht the Germs
at once. Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey
is fine for Colds. It loosens the mu
cous, stops the cough and soothes the
lungs. It's guaranteed. Only 25c

Scientific Refief
for all pain
You suffer because your circula
tion, in the affected part, is disturbed
because of congestion and inflam
mation, causing the pain. Ask your
doctor he cannot deny this truth, be
cause it's scientific. Nixon's Men
thol Balm (which is a noted special
ist's favorite prescription) recognizes
this scientific cause of pain and gent
ly stimulates, restoring the circula
tion to its normal (and painless) con
dition, and at the same time heals
and soothes in a most comforting way
because of its antiseptic, penetrative,
and healing qualities. Used external
ly only for coughs, colds, sore
throat, earache, pleurisy, La Grippe,
pneumonia, tonsilitis, hoarseness, ca
tarrh, burns, soreness and stiffness of
all kinds, including rheumatism. Easy
and pleasant to apply. Not a "cure
all," but a wonderful scientific reme
dy for all sufferers. To be had in
Kinston, N. C., only at the drug store
of J. E. Hood & Co., for so little as 25
cents a bottle.
