THURSDAY EVENING. JANUARY 11, 1915 There were not as many hen-pocked Congressmen at the roll cull Tuesday a Nome had supposed were in the make-up of the House of Representatives. At least, if there were, their "bosses" arc evidently not suffragettes. The Wilmington .star and its afternoon contemporary, The Evening Dispatch, appear to be on the most friendly terms imaginable. The Dispatch has just celebrated its twentieth anniversary, and The Star takes occasion to say all sorts of nice things about it. Good! Why shouldn't the spirit of brotherly love prevail. Incidentally The Free Press extends greetings to The Dispatch, and wishes it many more years of usefulness in its community. The New Bern Journal has a story about the alleged sale of a sick calf to one of the butchers there. Only one way to prevent bad meat from being sold, and that is to have a competent inspection system and require all meat sold on the local market inspected beforehand. That is what Kinston is now doing, and be it said to the credit of all concerned, the reports of the inspector have been notably free from bad meat so far. President Canady has named a strong list of commit tees for carrying on the work of the Chamber of Com merce during the ensuing year. A glanco at the line-ups, as printed in Wednesday's Free Press, will show that Kin Bton's leading men in every branch of the city's activities are among those selected for committee duty. The desiro of the officers of tho Chamber is to make this year's work eclipse the best years of the pant, and they realize that it will require some big efforts to accomplish that end. It should be possible, and with the help of all the citi zens of Kinston there is no renson why 1915 should not eclipse all others in general prosperity. THE FREE PRESS' "OPPORTUNITY EDITION." ( The Free Press ia planning to issue within the next six or seven week a big edition letting forth the opportun ities of this particularly favored section. Everybody, who has had occasion to compare this district with other places during the past six months has spoken most favorably of the lack of depression in evidence in Kinston, and this section as compared with other places, accustomed to prosperity. Visitors come here, who have been over the country and tell us that our agricultural resources have practically been untouched. There is room for many mon people of the right kind. The Chamber of Commerce ha many inquiries from prospective "immigrants." It is th purpose to give data that can be used in replying to the inquiries, and a number of copies of the "Opportunity Edi tion" will be furnished the officers of Uie Chamber o Commerce for such distribution. Retail merchants other places, adjacent to Kinston, and whose trade shouh come to Kinston jobbers, will be sent copies of the papei telling of the opportunities that Kinston's market af fords them. Every Kinston enterprise should and wil be represented in this edition if the wish of the publisher carried out. "A get-together" spirit prompts the un dertaking. The officers of the Chamber of Commerce an( prominent citizens think well of it. The Free Press be ieves firmly in the future of Kinston and East Carolina and it will never hesitate to preach the "opportunity" doc trine. )W Mr. C. Guy Bell, a recognized expert in special and in ustrial newspaper work, will assist in the preparatior of the edition. Mr. Bell is already in the city and hat commenced calling on the business men. He will appre iate any suggestions for widening the scope of the worV or making the edition more nearly what is planned for it The management of this paper will likewise be appreci tive of such suggestions, as well as any other considera tion and courtesies shown Mr. Bell. ONCE BAD BOYS NOW ENGLAND'S HEROES AND WEARERS OF THE CROSS WHAT OTHERS SAY SEASONED VETERANS WOULD BE BETTER Durham Sun: "A society has been formed for the sup pression of low-necked dresses. Each member o the so ciety is to offer a pin to each woman who exposes hei chest. Men who are qualifying for war ought to belong to this society, but we do't want any of it in ours." "Seeing things and talking in one's sleep" is a combi nation capnb'e of bringing Uoi'Mt to those so affecter". Quite freipicnlly people get into trouble because thiy urc too loquacious,, but the occasions for their over indulgence in talking are generally during periods of wakefulness. Seldom does a little private chat with one's self in the lund of nod bring durance vile to a fellow. That is the unusual position of a negco, now in the sheriff's lodging house here. He was tuinod up for disturbing his boarding-house mistress with his excess of gab, during periods of sleep and when other occupnnts of the house desired to sleep, and now his slumber talk is being hold against him. GOOD ONE FOR GENERAL APPLICATION Richmond News Leader: "The 'buy-it-now' campaign s an agricultural association in Omaha which is not bad The object is simply to induce persons who have money and have been hoarding it, to turn it loose and put it ii circulation for what they need, in paying debts, and in starting enterprises. It is an idea that ought to spread even if it does come out of Omaha." AIMED AT JUDGE PEEBLES Greensboro News: "Erroneous it may be, but there is certainly a widespread impression in the State that thi Allen contempt bill is principally a measure for protection against Judge Peebles, which brings ridicule on what it otherwise an excellent measure. When it is admitted tha one old man has tho State cowed to such a degree that il dares attack him only through the Legislature, it is admit ted that Peebles is more of a man than all of his enemies Peebles has been accussd of all sorts of misdeeds, but th accusers take it out in raging; he has never been in seri ous danger of impeachment. If half the tales they tell or the old man are true he ought to be removed, and if the) are not true he ought to be vindicated in open court. We imagine that the principal opposition that Mr. Allen will encounter will be the sentiment that protests against using a gatling gun to swat flies." ABOUT TIME FOR ARBITRATION. Tlio "cheerful" news comes from the European war fields that little results for either side can be expected until the winter weather is past or some additional entries into the conflict are made. In other words the situation has practically resolved itself into a dog fall. It ought to be a good time for tho neutral countries to make a show ing toward arbitration and stop the terrible suffering and anguish now being endured by soldiers and civilians in the stricken countries. Germany has had ample opportunity to test out some of her latest inventions in the gun line. She has dem onstrated that there is practically no limit to the death deuling capacity of gun manufacture. France has shown that her soldiers possess the qualities of fighters, which Were not generully accredited to them before this conflict. Austria has not hown thut her reputation as a poor fighter was very much off color. Russia has been able to hold up htr end of the line pretty well. Hut Great Britain has hardly sustained her claim as mistress of the seas. As a matter of fact, her ships have almost undis puted sway upon the high seas, but their record for offen sive and defensive work along her shores have rather been disappointing. Its a good time to call a halt. No time like the ent if only the war lords could be made to see it. pres- TH BRITISH NOTE. Raleigh Times: "The Times professes no disappoint- ! merit over the tenor of the British note to the American demand for a greater freedom of neutral commerce. The English foreign office is decidedly friendly to this gov eminent, and the reply was couched, one infers, from the synopsis just given out, in the most friendly language. Still, his majesty's government will be compelled to pro tcct the interests of the British people. .Assured of abso lutely hortest manifests, the British searchers will relax their vigor; certainly they will cause as little delay and inconvenience as possibe. The American government and people are permitted to get as much satisfaction out of the reply as they desire. Frankly, the Times believes that tho demand accomplished something, though not much It will tend to make Britain more careful, and it will tend to make American shippers more careful. The sum of these things will equal some relief. But we were not hopeful of a full compliance, because a nation that be lieves it is fighting for its existence, may not be expected to yield on a vital point. KISSING THE BIBLE LAW SHOULD BE REPEALED 6 The State Senate, Wednesday, debated for an hour or more on the advisability of repealing the obsolete cus- THE "DETECTIVE" Charlotte Observer: "The passing of the State under prohibition law was productive of a new character in the whiskey 'detective.' In many communities men of whose past record there would be no knowledge, would ap pear before the town authorities and seek employment as detectives to ferret out violations of the liquor stat utes. Charlotte had experience with some of them. The methods of these enterprising citizens were always open to criticism. They promoted crime in order to 'detect' torn of kissing the Bible in the administration of oaths toiCrime, the common practice being to bribe negroes to sell witnesses ana otners required to be sworn in North Carolina.

In other cases, the detectives would manage to buy liquor from some unsuspecting person and then make the arrest. Some cases worked up in this manner were brought before Judge Bond for .trial in Wilson last week, and the Judge promptly threw them out, advising that the detectives be not paid for their work. It was a just decision. No community should resort to unlawful means, to rid itself of blind tigers, when it can be feasily and decently done within the law. Any town that give employment to the class of operators reproved by Judge Bond simply enters into partnership with law-breaking." By P. M. Sarle (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Dec. 15. (By mail to New York) Here's the story of two "Bad Boys" who made good in the great European war. Formerly the despair of their py ents and teachers, Driver Job Henry Drain, 37th Battery, Royal Field Ar tillery, and Lance-Corporal, William Fuller of the Royal Welsh Regiment, are now popular heroes and the pride of the towns of which they were once :onsidered the disgrace. For the 'bad boys" of Barking and Swansea have won the little bronze crosses which enable them to place the let ters V. C. after their names, and which puts them on the roll of Eng land's greatest heroes for all time. Barking in Essex and Swansea, in Wales, are far apart and Drain and Fuller may never meet, but their stories are sufficiently similar to tell together. Drain is the son of a Barking la borer, and as a boy he never made any pretenses about wishing to rise in the world. He hated school. "Boy" Drain found horses quite fas cinating and proved so good a horse .nan that on reaching the military ge of seventeen he was "mustered Driver," and appointed to the 37th 3attery. He was eighteen and a half when the great war broke out, and his battery was one of the first in the Reld, having moved to France with -he Irish division. At Mons and dur ing the famous retreat, Drain did Sis duty, and looked after his pair if gun horses in fine style, but it was it Le Cdteau, on August 28 that he Sad the opportunity of showing that jad boys at school were not neces sary incorrigible. There his battery got into a tight corner and it seemed certain that the guns must be captured by the advanc- ng Germans. Guns are the apple of in t Artilleryman's eye, and the of ficers called for volunteers to save hem. Most of the gunners had been killed, but with a comrade, Driver Frederick Luke, the "Bad Boy of Barking" dashed through the hail of bullets and hitching up his team brought back three guns in seccession. Before, the two horses got the third jjun away the German infantry were within a hundred yards, but the "worst boy in the school" never flinched, and with his comrade, galloped back to Lhe battery with the precious field pieces. Both were awarded Victoria Crosses, and one of the first things Drain re- eived was a telegram from the May- -r of Barking; "Heartiest congratu lations. The town of Barking is proud of you. Lance-Corporal Fuller's story is al most the same. It was at the battle of the Aisne. when on September 14, near Chivy, the regiment suffered fearful losses that Fuller's chance came. Outnumb ered six to one, the Royal Welch Reg iment fought desperately to hold their position. Officer after officer went down, among them Captain Hag gard, the Swansea bad boy's company commander, who fell shouting, "Stick t, Welsh." Nobly the bad boy and his few remaining comrades "stuck it," and when retirement was inevit able, Fuller went back for his officer. He had to run a hundred yards under murderous ritle and machine gun tire, before he found his captain. Captain Haggard, knowing himself to be mort ally wounded, ordered the plucky "Non-com" to go back, but Fuller in sisted upon picking him up and carry ing him on his shoulders to a place of comparative safety.
