MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1916 Sanford is now enjoying a little of the DuPont pub licity, 4t being rumored that the powder people are secur ing options inOhat vicinity. We are not at all envious of Sanford's prospect for a powder mill and when such rumors were connected with Kinston a few months agr .we' were not "over-much" enthused. , There is much speculation along the border regarding Villa, his hunts and wheaboirts. The correspondents are '.chasing rumors; some of which indicate that Villa was tiertpemU'ly wounded and hauled off from the attack made on his forces by Colonel Dodd's flying squadron and oth- , en. that he was wounded prior to that enragemont, and was not with his troops then. In iht menntime Colore! Dodd and the other troops under General Pershing are "((win wood and saying nothing." The country may -rest assured thai; they are beating bushes behind which the quarry ha taken refuge, nd that they are not mak ing flf ty-Av wile forced marches over desert and dan gerous mountain passes without knowing what they are doing. , , . : TO THE CREDIT OF GREENE COUNTY. ;.- It is very much to the credit of Greene co.unty and r those citizens who apprehended (the negro culprit Friday afternoon following the series of outrages committed by him that, he was not done summary vengeance. If ever there was occasion for taking the law into their own hands the posse faced euch a condition, but as law-abiding citizens the temper of the arresting party was hold in check and the negro was taken to a place of safe keep ing. ' , ' ? ' v"'V"V'v.' Every respectable person, regardless of color, will con demn in the most impressive terms the outrages of this heast and there would be no lack of volunteers for the work of wreaking vengeance if such could do any good. No punishment -is adequate or would condone such crimes, and the forfeiting of the negro' life, when the law shall have token its course is the extreme penalty that can be noted out . 'This is another case where there should 'be no delay in bringing to trial the offender. The Superior Court of Greene county should be called in special session this week and a trial be given, ahorn of all technicalities and ; legal delays. This is a case -where the trial should be had behind closed doors, and only those who are interested in the machinery of the court should be admitted. A nuick trial, conviction and execution of sentence will do much to sHaf any feeling of regret that the neighbors in Orccne county may have because the culprit was per mi t ,., ed to bo taken to another county for safekeeping, and in i fter years the beat citizens of Greene and the Eastern . art of the Stat will refer with justifiable pride to the i'-ict that Greene is a law-abiding community, and tha the citizens' there are willing to let the law take It? course. Line placing such order, but other roads throughout the country are adding to their rolling stock and placing huge orders for rail When the railroads hegin on a large scale to add to their equipment and start a general constructive cam paign throughout the country, ft is quite safe to feel that business conditions give satisfactory promise. There has been evidence for aorae months past that the railroads were overwhelmed with business, at least there have been many instances of delay In freight shipments, and the supply houses invariably have to make excuse that cars could not be secured and often could not be moved promptly after having been loaded. With a reduction in cotton acreage for the coming year and a general diversification of crops throughout the agricultural sections, there is no reason why the era of prosperity should not continue. The consensus of opinion of thjDfte who study financial and economic prob lems and conditions is that the southern farmers hold it very important place in the perpetuation or curtailment, as the case may be. of the prosperity now enjoyed by the country and happily the reports from the farming sec tions indicate that the farmers are taking heed and pre paring to measure p to their responsibilities in the matter of diversification. It is to be regretted that the war cloud is now hover ing over the Dutch people. Reports are that the Queen has called an extraordinary session of Parliament and authorized the mobilization of her army. This action in due ' to dissatisfaction arising from the sinking of the Dutch steamer "Tubanbia." It is remarkable, however, on the other hand, that the little kingdom has been able to maintain its neutrality as long as it has. It seems to be the inevitable fate of all the countries of Europe to be drawn into the maelstrom of the terrible carnage, and unless peace U established little else can be expected the few remaining countries, which have so far avoided the conflict, will most likely be drawn in. GENUINE SIGNS OF PROSPERITY. Information that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad has placed an order for more than a million dollars' worth vf -roHtnx stock, deliveries to be made within the next twelve months, is a genuine eign that prosperity is smil ing upon the country. Not only is the Atlantic Coast FELICITATIONS TO MESSRS. JOHNSON AND SULLIVAN. Announcement is made in Charlotte that the "Obser ver." the morning paper there, one of the oldest in the South, has changed hands. Mr. Walter B. Sullivan, who has been the publisher and part owner of the Columblr (Sou,th Carolina) Record and Mr. Curtis B. Johnson, owner of the Knoxville Sentinel and prominent in news paper circles of the South for some years, have acquired the entire stock of the paper. Mr. Sullivan, it is stated, will remove his residence to Charlotte and take active charge of the editorial and business management of the paper. The Free Press welcomes Messrs. Johnson and Sullivan to the newspaper circles of the State, and it is gratified to know that Editor Wade Harris is to remain on the editorial staff. The Free Press hopes It's good friends, Messrs. Clark and Simms will likewise remain with the new owners. ' WHAT OTHERS SAY POLL TAX TIME AGAIN. f Winston-Salem Journal: 'tThis is poll tax month. If he has hot already paid it, no adult man can say he is an ell-round American citizen at the end of this month unless he pays his poll tax between now and that time. For If the tax is not paid by the first day of May he will lose his right to vote. "What does it mean for a man in a country like this to lose his right to vote? It means, first of all, that ha loses ithe greatest power a free man ever possessed. It means that by his neglect he trample underfoot the De claration of Independence and says to the world that is a useless scrap of paper. It means that he is not in tereated la the promotion of the things which will insure the continued prosperity and progress of this great coun try. It means that he does not wish to have a hand ir. running the government under which he and his children ami his children's children must live. V' "Now, The Journal does not believe that any citizen of North Carolina would wilfully throw away a sacred right to gain which his fathers sacrificed so much. If by failure to pay his poll tax he permit himself to be dis franchised it will be because he isn't thinking. This pa per's appeal to its .readers, therefore, is to think. Don't forget that your tax must be paid by May 1, in order that you may exercise the proud privilege which is yours in order that you may be able to do your full duty a on American citizen." AGRICULTURAL i ii Buy-t-Home Campaign Conducted by Canning Clubs. Say Extension Farm News: "The Canning Club girla have been inaugurating a buy-at-home cam paign and have been canvassing the merchant in the different towns for , the sale of club product. One whole sale merchant In Raleigh gave aa or ' der for 150 dozen tomatoes, which the young business women crated ami shipped to him. The retailers gave liberal order, and ; the club girls quoted prices for all delivery on tomatoes, string beans, coop mlsUtre, kraut, aweet potato, peaches, and blackberries. Three year ago al most the whole output waa tomatoes; today the girt are prepared to put a varied assortment before the mer chant, and he, appreciating the qual ity and the reputation of these pro ducts have made with b housewives, is prepared to put In hi order with the producers ia hi own county and keep his money circulating at home.. "One young woman, who has charge" of the Wayne county dubs, gets out early every Monday morning, and emulating the example of the repre sentatives of the commercial houses, pays a weekly visit to the different grocery stores to find out what the merchant needs and if she can supi ply hinv In this manner she has dis posed of many thousand cans and has the good will and hearty support of a goodly number of the merchants of the county. "With an output of 633,000 cans last summer, and a prospect of over a million in 1916, we are looking to the merchant for our logical market; and from the liberal patronage w have already received, we believe we shall have no difficulty in placing our output." ." .'

E. Hood eVCo druggists, Kinston, Nf Mary Pickford, the Only Girl 22 Years of Age That? Is Earning $100,000 a Year and the Story cf "Madame Butterfly," Which She Appears In at Grand Tuesday 7! ... 1 - 1 2. ft O , t . J t I', 4 f i - 4 f 4 t if V T 1 it 0 v v S if The photoplay alapiauon of John Luther Lung's great i-lttaaic. "Madame Butterfly," in which Mary Pickford is starred by the Fam ous Players Film Company, is a pathetic, human-interest story. This latest Paramount attraction at the Grand Tuesday tails how Cho- . Cho-San, a maiden of the Flowery Kingdom, has been wed to Lieut. Pinkerton, nn American naval officer. Two mouths after the wed ding Pinkerton sails away promising his wife "Madame BuUerfly," as he calls her to return when "the robins nest aain." To the officer the marriage has been but a love affair of the mo ment, to be forgotten with his departure. But to Madame Butterfly it was a real and lasting compact. In her loving, trusting heart she had no doubt that he would return. So in the little house at the foot of the hill where their joyous honeymoon has been spent, she waited for him to come back to her. A baby was born and the mother thought with happy anticipation of ihe time when her husband would see his child. Two years pass and still the little wife is waiting, waiting for "the robins to nest again." She is deaf to the proposals of the wealthy Yamadori, an Americanized Japanese, who would marry her though the people about her even 'her own parents look upon her a3 an outcast. So when the American consul comes to her to tell her that Lieut. Pink erton, -whose ship "is due to arrive soon, has taken an American wife the sweetheart of his youth the ingenuous faith of Madame Butter- fly so touches him that he cannot perform his. task. But Cho-Cho-San learns that the ship is due and joyfully makes the home ready for its lord and master. The house is decorated with cherry blos somssoms and at the doorway the wife, the little one and the old servant await tho Lieutenant's arrival. Night comes and the lamps are lit The servant and the baby fall asleep, but Madame Butter fly continues hcrjyjf?il, while the lights, like her hopes, die out and only one remains when morning comers. Then she goes to her bedroom and Pinkerton and the consul enter. As Madame Butterfly returns to the room with the baby, the lieu tenant is overcome with pity and withdraws unobserved. The con sul then tells her the sad truth an J gives her money given to him for her by her husband. The girl sinks grief -stricken to the floor. Pinkerton's American wife enters and tries to comfort her, but Madame Butterfly gives her the lieutenant's money, bidding her re turn later. Then, drawing the curtains, she prepares for suicide. She has taken the sword of her father from the wall and is about to plunge it into her breast when her baby toddles over to. her. Lest the child should see, she blindfolds its eyes and returns behind the cur tain. ' Then Madame Butterfly staggers forth, a cloth about her bleeding throat. She has clasped the child to her breast as Pinkerton enters and embraces the dying girl whose face is illuminated with infinite happiness. . a'v NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATRIX WITH THE WILL ANNEXED OF ( HAS..
