Sykes, Jr, in aole charge f Eastern Department Files of Free Praia can be seen. Entered at the poatofflce at Kinston, North Carolina, at second-class natter under act of Congress, March 3, 1879.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1. 191S f in a recent statement sent out from Washington, the Southern Railroad declares that for every dollar paid Co Jt for transportation during the month of December, 1915, 1.17 wai paid out by the company to individuals and industries located in the South. It attributes this unusual situation to the large construction work in pro gress. Certainly the Southern seema to be looking ahead and building for the future. Dame Rumor is working overtime, as usual, when there Is vacancy at Washington. Everybody of any political - note who is headed for the Nation's Capital, is being con nected with the Secretary of War's place, wheih was va cated by Secretary Garrison last week. Dame Rumor gave the Supreme Court plum to most of the favorite sons of the various States of the Union, but she missed i every gue, and It Is more than likely that Presi denl WiJson is now considering somebody entirely re moved from the Hat of aspirants and rumored appointees for his war secretary. We can't help but feel somewhat jealous of Winston Salem, which has just employed a whole-time health offi cer, and Edgecombe county, which just a few daya ago took ha aarae forward step. This progressive city and county, respectively, are getting In line. With the pro gress that Is being made in those counties where health conservation is paramount We are atill hopeful that the day ia not too far in the future when Kinton and Lenoir county will lay off Ahs indifference of the past and arise to the responsibility that rests upon them for caring for their people and safeguarding the health of twenty-rflve or thlriy thousand men, women and children, who' give their energies and talenta to the growth and up building of this section. There ia no particular "cloud or other marker" upon the horlxon at present to give us hope, but we are optimistic. Cotton Mills' Asset to Kinston and Lenoir . The cotton mills of this district are splendid asset to Kinsum and Lenoir. Their use of the raw material, produce! right hare at home, ia no doubt their most im i fwrtant point of contact. Those Industries which con eume the communities' raw products, converting , thorn into finished and more valuable articles of commerce are the Industries worth Inviting. The community build' ; era who come to our district and look over the situa tion are amused that we should bo willing to aend our raw material to the East and North and have it re turned to u in the finished product at a greatly en hanced valuation. This has been the drawback of the South; too Jong the great productive belt of the Nation, haa been furnishing the raw material for tho amassing of wealth in the manufacturing centers of the North. Happily, there ia, because of constant agitation by the men of vision of the South. tendency to encourage the ut'l'tatlon of the home products at home, and the various commercial bodies of the South are busily engaged in an endeavor to locate plants which will do so in their respective communities. The annual statement of the Kinaton Cotton Mills made by General Manager Taylor to the directors a few daya ago, showed that these mills bad consumed in the past sixteen years about 5,000 bales of cotton at an es timated value to the producers of 12.800,000. Most of that material, Mr. Taylor said, was purchased at home from Lenoir and Eastern Carolina farmers. The Caswell Cotton Mill, smother of Kinston'a valued industries, is likewise consuming the home product and not only are these mills paying into the pockets of the farmers of this district money, but they -are paying Into the pockets of many employes, thousands of dollars an nually. The InduHtry which is established here contributes ma terially to the welfare and prosperity of the community with its payroll. Doubly valuable is the industry which uses home-grown raw material as well as lending a good substantial pay-roll to the tills of the local merchants. Let Kinston jrive such the glad hand. 1 Protection of IJirds Important The State Audubon Society in a recent folder, sets forth some very interesting statistics emphasizing the importance of protecting the birds of the country. We are told in this folder that the com growers of the United States suffer a loss of one hundred million dollars annually, because of destructive insects; that the fruit growers lose thirty millions; the tobacco growers ten millions, and the ubiquitous potato bug does seven teen million dollars damage every year. In other words, ten per cent, of the agricultural and forestry products of the United States are annually destroyed by insects. The Audubon Society comes to the rescue of the birds by declaring their wanton destruction by hunters and trappers coats the farmers of the United State a billion every year, ibecause of the loss of crop protection. Under the caption: "Some Facts About Birds," we are told that ninety-eight per cent of the food of wrens is composed of insects; seventy-six per cent, of the blue bird's food, seventy-five per cent, of the wood-pecker's diet, which consists largely of woodborers and caterpil lars, seventy-three per cent, of the food of meadowlarks, sixty-four per cent, of the brown thrasher's and ninety per cent of ithe bee-martin's are insects. The Society urges that not only the decimation of the insectivorous and crop-protecting birds be checked, but that the planters build houses and provide water and food, when scarce, and otherwise lend encouragement to bird propagation. ( Unquestionably these facts are of .importance to the farmers of this section, as well as ia all others, and it would be well if our planters would write to the Audubon Society at Raleigh, N. C, or the United States Depart ment of Agriculture at Washington, and get more infor mation about bird culture. WHAT OTHERS SAY WE THANK YOU. BROTHER MARTIN. Winston-Salem Journal: "The Journal congratulates Editor Braxton of the Kinston Free Press on the splendid 'Prosperity Edition' of his paper, issued last Saturday. The glories of Kinston and Lenoir county are magnifi cently portrkyed and tho edition will prove of great bene fit to that section In making a splendid Impression among outsiders. $ WITH EVERY REGARD FOR NEW YORK A'D NORFOLK,, Wilmington Star: "The main entrance to the Atlantic ocean can be reached by either trolley or automobile from Wilmmgton. It requires only a few minutes to make the trip, while the trips are so numerous they are only 20 to 30 minutes apart when the people want to reach the Atlantic, where the ocean, sounds, inlete, inshore channels, shell islands, salt water marshes, oyster beds, finning ground, and yachting waters, on the sounds or on the ocean, are combined in picturesque variety. Those who have reached tho Atlantic at various points, immedi ately recognize the fct that this is the main entrance co old ocean." "To let ths lady die were an un gracious act on the part of any gal lant orator of an executive. Yet to spare the lady and kill the man whose crime she shared and of which aha was the motive and inspiration were to reduce the high power of clemen ey to its lowest terms of sentimental ity. But to spare tHe man because of a reluctance to kill the lady, were to make a joke of justice. "Tangled up in such alternatives, it will be surprising if Governor Craig and the State of North Caro lina get out of the dilemma in which this sordid crime of passion has placed them, with either the look of dignity or the pretension to logic." MILTON'S VILLAGE HAS PROUD WAR RECORD. Horton, Buckinghamshire, Eng., Feb. 6. (By Mail) This small Eng lish village where John Milton wrote L'Allegro, II Penserose, a portion of Paradise Lost and other poems, has a proud war record.

A GOVERNOR'S DILEMMA Raleigh Times: "Governor Craig is now considering appeals for tho reprieve of both Ida Ball Warren, the woman murderer, and her partner In crime, the man Christy. The appeals are based on the necessity of time to prepare a case for the commutation of the death sen tence In .case the application for writ of error to Chief Justice White of the Supreme Court shall be denied, as It is generally conceded it will be. The necessity of de termining this case Ia one of the chances that sometime make us wonder why the matter of being Governor is one to cause such heart-burning ambition.
