considers a very able article on Bry
tan as a rocker of the boat in a State
weekly Mr. .Kinsey concurred in
everything he read. To illustrate the
fate of Williams Jennings t , who
should have been a preacher says Mr.
Kengey, he tbld the story of a miser
ly person in a county bordering Len
oir, who was . called upon to serve on
m jury, ... ... ,- i i-v . fM
"The jury got the case and went out
and squabbled over it .They stood 11
to one in the matter... The one held
out and told the .foreman that. . it
would be. very satisfactory to him if
disagreement was, reported to .the
' judge. They filed into the room. And
... bless your heart, befiore"Mr. Foreman
i had a chance to open his mouth the
odd juror leaned over the rail and
declared to His Honor: : "
.. Jeage, there's, eleven fools on
this ,'ere jury.' . -''. " i
"The judge couldn't believe his ears,
There's eleven fools on this jury,' said
the disgruntled man. :
" That will do; you are discharg
ed,' said the court '
,r. Th miser was hooking up ... his
horse when a friend asked him why.
Tm discharged,' he said. 'Oh, no,'
the other told hhn, "not for the term,
only for the case.' -
"The ex-juror hustled back into the

I understand you to say I was dis

"His Honor frowned down upon him
from the bench. It was evident that
he was displeased. He stormed s -
" 'Henceforth and forever;"go home.'
"And from tho judge's point ? of
view there were not eleven fools, but
one, for he aJJed: 'If you've got
sense enough to find the way home.' "

; ; mum of Fifty Responsible Signers
Today.
The guarantors of the Kinston
Chautauqua held a meeting following
the Friday night's entertainment and
j . "
peciueu to nave tne swarthmore at t
tractions return in 1916. There were
about fifteen guarantors present, and
they signed the contract with the un-1
derstanding that thirty-five addition.
P0'8 guarantors be'added
today. This was the minimum num-
her and it is possible that many more
will be secured. Those present at the
meeting last night were practically of
one mind that Kinston must have a
Chautauqua every year, and the terms
of the Swarthmore Association and
the character of their attractions
were favorably commented upon.
It developed that the Swarthmore
contract allowed the local guarantors
the proceeds , from twenty-five tick
ets or fifty dollars, nrovided more
than the' fourteen hundred dollars'
worth were sold. Mrs. Yarnall was
under the impression at the time that
the contract allowed all over the guar
antee and she fears that some of
those who were present may have
gotten tfrat idea from what she said.
Only twenty-five tickets are allowed
and all excess goes to the Association.

Many Army and Navy Officers Want
to Take Fancy Jobs.
That the government cannot refuse
to accept army, navy -and marine
corps officers' resignations after they
have served cht vears. is the nrelim-
inary conclusion of war and justice
department officials. Owing to tho
heavy war. munitions orders private
firms are offering large salaries for
ordnance experts. The resignation of
many of this class of officers is likely
to prove embarrassing to the govern
ment. Some resignations have been
held up pending further inquiry. Sec-
retary uarnson is seeking a prohib
Jtory ruling.

MR. FLOWERS' GREAT
THE ANTICIPATIONS
MRS. PICKETT AND
.ti,. ereat lecture. of Mr. Montaville
Flowers, entitled "Rebuilding the
Temple,". considered by some to be
the greatest lecture now being deliv
ered on the American platform, was
the feature of Friday night's chau-
lauqua program and one of the two
really jgreat features of the entire
week. - Mr. Flowers' lecture deals
with civilization, its producing ele
ments and those conditions which con
tribute to its downfall. He-makes a
masterful plea for the preservation
of the white race, and
the absolute
prohibition of intermarriage between
the white and colored, the latter term
being used in its general sense to
embrace all peoples except the Cau
casian. The restriction of tho immi-
gration of the inferior races is the
only practical solution of the prob
lem, Mr. Flowers contended, and he
pointed out the fact that the colored
races were much more prolific than
the white, and that unless steps were
taken to keep them away from this
country, they would eventually be in
the majority. .The elevation of the
white race and the maintenance of its
supremacy by the preservation, of its
purtiy. is the essential thing, he said.
Mr, Flowers touched upon the Eu
ropean war and attributed its causes
to the absolute authority of one or
two rulers and to the system of secret
i diplomacy. The terrible war had over

members of the college must find new
weapons to make the American navy

CHICAGO'S FIGHT "

Chicago, June 20. In its fight on
abortion parlors, Chicago is plan
ning to fight the evil in a novel way.
Coroner Hoffman conceived the plan.
He would have the city erect and I
maintain a maternity hospital which
would encourage prevention of unlaw
ful operations. Luckless mothers
would be admitted to the hospital un
der rules of strictest secracy. Coro
ner Hoffman would have a law passed
making divulging of the name of a
patient punishable by a jail sentence.
Births would be recorded and the Ba
