FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 5. 1915
, .Our friend on the New Bern Journal must have had
: 6me proposal from the fair sex, or for aome reason they
are laboring under the impression that this is leap year.
Their Tuesday' issu wa dated "February 29, 1915,"
both' oh the front par and at the "mast-head." How
about it? I our guess wrong?
; The expression "human warfare" and "civilised war
far haven't been so much in print of late. As The Free
Press said in the outset of the war, involving all Europe,
these term art' misnomers. On antagonist says weH

TnE -RECORDER'S COURT
AS REVISED BILL PROVIDES.
' -The Fre Press is gratified that the bill to establish
a" recorder's court for Kinston carries with it a provision
to pay a salary of $1,000 instead of $1,200, as was first
' contemplated. Although the present figure is, in the opin
ion or, Too free. Press, in excess of what it should be,
it is not sufficiently out of proportion, as it now stand,
r ta( warrant any .further opposition. The Free Press has
.. not had the idea of reducing the salary to get a cheap or
, mediocre maiu'.Th salary of $1,200 carried with it the
,ide that th full time of the Incumbent was to be ro-
. quired, and The Free Press did not think that such would
b the ease, and does not now believe, that more than an
hour or two daily average will bo required in the discharge
pi the .duties of the office. However, that is largely a mat
ter to be determined by experience, and if it i proven that
the salary I too large or too amall for the duties, change
can be mad later,
; Th Free Press was inclined to favor a city recorder's
.' court arid it feel that the proposed court will, if prop
rly conducted, be very beneficial to this community. Tho
Jurisdiction over outlying territory,' embracing, it will,
several objection! "spot should make it possible to
break up a great deal of th lawlessness prevalent in those
pieces, '. Th council committees which visited Raleigh '
,' Wa4nl4 IhlnVa W k rtt.na fti Kill I
ingly favorable, and The Free Pros hopes their optimism
There seems to be a disposition on the part of some to
try the Carter-Abemethy case out of court. ' The Free
Prases has already gone on record as favoring a suspen
sion of public Judgment and criticism until all the facts
have been heard and properly arranged by a competent
tribunal, and it believes that counsel and friends of the
contestant would best await the investigation. Mr. Ab-
ernethy's friend claim that he simply wants redress for
the treatment accorded him in New Bern. ' The resolution
Introduced, by Representative Clark of Bladen called for
a sweeping investigation of alleged immorality charges
against Judge Carter, and his counsel have endeavored
ig well founded, r It should be possible, too, to get a first without avail to ascertain the specific charges upon which
.Class business man to look after the affair of the city the immorality allegations are based. Representative
city are imbued with the great possibilities of the move
ment That they realise that a properly arranged end
conducted fair will mean a great deal for the opbuildiig
of thi district Th spirit which hss moved the men pro
moting this enterprise is that of the highest eitlxeisblp.
There ha been no idea or desire for individual gain, ex-1
cept that which will naturally accrue from community
betterment nd development ' The impelling motive to
rV WIN fUUIIkt T -17'.
Next Tuesday the canvassing committee will start out ,
to solicit stock subscriptions, and every man in Kinston, (
who is able, should take one or more shares. Make the ,
work of the committee easy by being ready and on the J '
lookout for them. It is for th public interest and not
for the canvassers, who wD gv their time to set the
movement agoing. ; 1 . ' ,
Let the Kinston get-together spirit prevail, for Great is
Kinston, and The Free Press firmly believes that it Is go
ing to be greater. ,' .':'' ;; '. . .' . ,'

DR. A. L. PHILLIPS'
DEATH. V;.y;l,.v:''i .
The death of Dr. A. L. Phillips of Richmond, th gen
eral superintendent of the young people's work and Sun
day schools of the Southern Presbyterian church, which
occurred Tuesday morning in Richmond, is not alone a
loss that will be felt by hi brotherhood, but by the re
ligious world generally, Dr. Phillips was a native North
Carolinian, hi father and grandfather both having been
professors at the University, and he himself a graduate
of that institution. : He served in several important pas
torates before being called to take up the general work
in which he has been so conspicuously successful. ' He
wss instrumental in bringing about the organization . of
the Young People's Missionary Movement, and was a mem
ber of the executive committee of that body. ' He wai
also on the International Sunday school lesson committee
and was identified in various other interdenominational
fellowships In a way that endeared him to the people of
all evangelical-faiths.-" -

PATRONAGE ESSENTIAL .TO .
CLEAN AMUSEMENT
Kinston people should encourage clean and . decent
amusement by patronizing, such performances of Ahat
character as are brought here. - The manager of - the
amusement enterprises hesitate to make engagements for
such attraction as th Maurer Sisters' Orchestra, or at
traction of til chautauqua character, for, too often they
have to "pay the bill." A creditable performance, one
that should appeal to cultured and refined people, doesn't
seem to have th drawing qualities for some reason or
other. The average audience in attendance at such per
formances is around a hundred. But let a cheap, coarse
vaudeville, where the feminine extremities are unseemly
exposed, be billed and the houses are filled to overflowing,
This ought not so to be. xne theatrical manager, many
of them at least, prefer showing only high class perform
ances, but they must Of necessity have some concern
about the box office. The gate receipts hasard of decent
amusement sponsorship is moat too much to face. It is
unreasonable to expect the amusement' houses to bill
clean, wholesome entertainments to play to sparsely filled
houses at big losses, when much cheaper attractions can
be brought which are liberally patronized.
The Free Press believes that the people of Kinston want
the beat class of amusemsnt here, but it must be appreci
ated that, the support of the public is absolutely essential
to the encouragement of such.

KINSTON'S FAIR IS A GO
TO A CERTAINTY.
- That the plan for a Kinston district fair will carry
without hitch seems to be a foregone conclusion. In nil
the meetings, that have been held in the interest of this
movement, no discordant notes have been sounded. It
has been clearly 'shown that the progressive men of tHs
Clark has declined to go further than state there were
good and sufficient reasons. Just what those specific
chargsa are, nobody, aside from Mr. Clark, seems to have
been informed, and it appears that all will have to abide
the convening of the investigating "court" before being
any the wiser. The Free Press believes that a fair and
impartial hearing should and will be given, and it again
urges , upon the partisans of the two principals to await
the formal hearing.
