It fs a eerious matter to accuse Either an individual or a nation of bad faith and dishonorable conduct, and to be aure, President Wilson will make no such charges against the German Government until he has the evidence to sus tain it. If. however, such accusations are made and sus tained, it will be a reflection on the honor and integrity of the German nation from which it will not be powille to recover for a long time to come, and it is to be hoped that appearances in this case are deceiving, and that the German Admiralty is keeping the faith and proposes Xo fulfill its promises, made in good faith, to the American Government, insuring the lives and property of non-combatants, taking passage on passenger ships. Should it be proven otherwise the United States nor any other neutral power could maintain its self-respect and con tinue to recognize Germany and accord it diplomatic representation. RAISE COTTON W1IT1I LONGER STAPLE, EXPERT ADVISES TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1916 A few days ago a correspondent for the Raleigh Times, who is also a bank clerk, inadvertantly 'addressed a let ter intended for one of the Raleigh banks to The Time, containing $300 in new bank notes. News Editor Lyon of The Times opened the letter, but reports from Raleigh indicate that he is expected to survive the ahock. News comes from Richmond that the wholesale liquoi dealers art already laying their plans to unload their stocks before the operation of the new prohibition law. It is unfortunate that provision could not have been made to buy, those atoefcs out of the public funds and empty them in the towers instead of being unloaded on Nor'.h Carolina and other prohibition territory. Considerable havm can be done in this unloading process, and it is a .pity that the damage cannot be averted In some way. ,v: vv ' ' TIME FOR COUNCIL TO SHOW ITS GOOD FAITH. Again City Council holds its regular monthly meeting and omits to refer to the much-needed sanitary and health laws. The work of paving the city is very im portant, and as The Free Press has before said, it is to be hoped that tht entire city will be paved before the pres ent campaign is completed. The Free Press does not re gard the paving of paramount importance, however. It still ty'Hcvwr that Council should have care for the health of the city, and that it should manifest its realiza tion of the 'responsibility resting upon it by making pro vision for better sanitation and health measures. While "Council is considering petitions for additional paving, the actual work of which will perhaps not be reached before late in the summer, the fly crap for the season is multi plying and getting euch a start that it will be impossible for any remedial action against the pest to be taken. Already the time is approaching when the opponents of clean-up measures can have the' face to call for "more time" and ask that action be deferred until another sea ton, as was the case last year. If anything is to be done it Is time Council was giving some evidence of its good faith in the matter. THE ATTACK ON SECRETARY DANIELS. It appears that there is a very deep seated conspiracy 0" the part of the enemies of the Administration and of the plans advocated by Secretary of the Navy Daniels to disparage Mr. Daniels' work as civilian head of the navy. There have been many vain attempts to reflect upon Mr. Daniels! Unwarranted attacks have been made upon him in the public press, and he has sustained his position and put to rout hi critics. On Monday members of the House Naval Committee undertook to grill Mr. Daniels, and made some serious charges, alleging that he had furnished intimate details and important secrets of the navy to Russian and Ger man authorities. Mr. Daniels, as might have been ex pected, flatly denied such allegations; and nobody who knows Mr. Daniels, or has followed his creditable record in the present campaign, believes for a minute that he has been guilty of any breach of faith in the conduct of his high office. The complaints that are being mado against Mr. Daniels evidently come from diagruntlec. interests. He openly charged in th e hearing above referred to that Rear-Admiral Fiske was dis gruntled and grouchy because he had not been assigned command of the Atlantic Fleet to succeed Admiral Bad ger, and because his (the Admiral's) personal ambition had been thwarted. It is very natural that the Stee! Trust and the munitions manufacturers, which have been enjoying the unlimited patronage of the Government a their own prices, should become disgruntled because now Secretary Daniels and the Administration proposes to horn them away from the "trough of graft," and it is perfectly natural that those men in the navy, who aspire beyond their deserts, should become disgruntled when they do not attain their desires. Secretary Daniels has the confidence of the people "back home," and we believe he has the confidence of all the best thinking people of the Nation. WHAT OTHERS SAY DUPLICITY OF THE GERMAN ADMIRALTY. Reports from Washington indicate that President Wil son and his advisers suspect the German Admiralty of duplicity in the conduct of their submarine warfare. There hat been evidence which would give rise to such presumption, since the inception of this campaign of barbarism. There has been no inclination on tho part of the German authorities to acknowledge that their sub marines wore responsible for the sinking of ny ships except where tht attacking undersea craft was sighted by the victims, and there was a preponderence of evi dence convicting the German boats. There is mystery about all, of those ships which have been sunk without warning and without some of those aboard having sighted 'tht submarine; for instance, the sinking of the Persia, in "MUDDLING "THROUGH.'' Columbia State; "Wert the outstanding fire insurance policies in South Carolina to be cancelled, the condition thereby created would be most serious. Of that event, however, there is little likelihood. Before the great com panics withdrew most of the policies on houses were re written for a year or more, one supposes. With the com panies, twelve or thirteen, remaining in the State, the risks written and to be written by brokers, the mutual companies coming into the State, the farm mutuals in operation and to be organized, and the factory mutuals, the people will 'muddle through somehow' the next ten or eleven months. To be sure, many people will be in convenienced and somo will suffer but there is no good reason for excitement or recourse to desperate measures. "Were it impossible for the cotton mills, for example, to obtain fire protection, it would be almost impossible for them to operate. Were 125,000 people threatened with sudden loss of employment, it would be time to talk about 'State insurance.' "Undoubtedly this insurance mess is embarrassing. Many foolish things have been done and said from first to last. The powers behind the Southeastern Under writers' Association in the North have their share of re sponsibility for it The insurance community in South Carolina was taken by surprise by the drastic uetkm or the withdrawing companies. "In one way or another we "shall muddle through." FIRST LIST OF CANDIDATES IN CONTEST APPEARS TODAY (Continued from Page One) Mia Ma Hie Outlaw. Mt Olive R. F. D. No. 6 .t 5,400 R, F. P.

The cotton should be of inch ntaple, he said, instead of three-quar- j ters of an inch or icss. A lot of the -o'.ton has to be put with inch cot Ion from Mississippi and Alabama in manufacturing. Tho mixing of seed in gins, etc., causes the product to degenerate. Mr. R. F. Hill, a well known local farmer, bore Dr. Win ders out in his assertions. An interesting visitor to the city Monday night was Mr. R. W. Free nan of Wilson, a South Carolina ag riculturalist in charge of the demon itration work in the ."3 counties of Eastern Carolina. Ho arrived too late for the meeting of the board. Mr. Freeman said there are 18 demon stration agents in his territory. There are three districts in the State, with total of about 75 cents. The west urn and central districts are supplied with agents almost to a county, ex cept in the mountain counties leyond '.he "Ridge.'' But his is an extraor dinary district, Mr. Freeman declar ed. For instance, there is Dare eoun '.y. Dare county ha3 but one farm er that is, but one person depend ing upon agriculture for a living. rhen there is Hyde. Hyde is the richest county in possibilities. It is a fact that many farmers there go into their fields, push a cane into :he soil, thereby muking little holes into which they drop the seed, and cover the holes with their heels. "They make 50 bushels an acre without bothering with it any more." ' Hyde said Mr. Freeman, has land with 88 per cent, of humus organic matter." That is a world record for tillable soil, probably. Then there is Carter et, which has two zones semi-tropi cai ana temperate. . Ami it is a pro gressive district; a very progressive district, Mr. Freeman thinks. Realty Transfers.
