MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1916 ,
cated that Villa was being given too much start, General
Fumrton's painstaking to make ready before crossing the
border has been fully justified and there is no reason for
any sensible American to think that all of the prepara
tions made and the expense gone to, to run to earth Villa,
would have been undertaken, if the Administration had
not meant fouainess. This is no bluff, and the Americans
ought not to be misled by the various rumors. In pass
ing it might bo said, too, that the average American has
little confidence in iCarranza' ability to take Villa, am'
the Administration will meet tho approval of the average
American citizen if American troops are kept on the trail
until Villa is taken, dead or alive.

The Free Presa contest is a free-for-all opportunity
to secure one of these valuable prizes. The time to enter
is now, ; The game is young.
The "Big Stick" seem to be making some impression
iipon the "Stand Pat" hrigade and the hungry pie-hunter
but the average American citizen won't regard the
wtpon with the same awe that was once the case.
- Th Birmingham' Ledger says: "In Alabama politics is

but -we" presume the same trouble exists in both states,
that too-ftenthe business Is In the wrong hande.

T.here is little astonishment, to those who have kept up
in a genoral way with the record of "Bob" Burman, who
has been setting a"dea'th-daring pace wi:h automobiles

IDLE HUMORS NAILED.
We are very glad to ae Socretary of War Baker
stamp the rumors of .withdrawal of troops from Mexico
as fake. We don'i know the source of these rumors. It
is highly probable that they emanate from across the
border and that they are a creation of the desires of
Villa sympathizers. If such is not the case, and any
American citizens, for political or other reasons, are
endeavoring to discredit the Administration's conduct of
the punitive expedition, they should be prosecuted for
their conduct is little short of treason. The War Depart
ment was criticized by some of the anti-Administration
interests for the preparation made for the expedition,

PEKFUNCVOUY INVESTIGATION .
NOT SATISFYING.
The first hearing in the investigation of the lynching
of the negro, Joe Black, taken from the Kinston jail
by a mob last week, failed .to bring out any facta that
were not already established. The hearing conducted be
fore Recorder Wooten by Solicitor Shaw Saturday was
perfunctory and should be preliminary only to the real
investigation. None of the witnesses examined could tell
anything about the party wno took the law into their
own hands. The policemen on duty in Kinston, and who
saw the assembly of the mob gathering could offer no
evidence or clues which would assist the prosecution in
placing the responsibility. It is presumed that all of the
numbers of the cars had been hidden from view and that,
therefore, the lynchers were not only outlaws in the
sense of murderers, but were operating cars apparently
without license. The wonder is, if three policemen or.
duty in Kinston to preserve order, noted the arrival of
a number of automobiles at an unseemly hour in ths
morning, and the occupants of the cars were too num
erous for the trio of guardians of the peace to approach
and ascertain the occasion for he assembly, why was not
a riot call put in, so that the citizens of Kinston might
respond and protect the good name of their community?
This feature, however, is aside from the point that we
started out to make in this particular article.
The Free Press is glad that the Solicitor asked for a
continuance of the hearing, and that the usual verdict
that the "victim came to hi death at the hands of par
ties unknown" was not called for. The State should em
ploy detectives and put them on the track of .the ring
leaders of last Tuesday night's outrage. It is preposter
ous to say that two or three hundred men could assemble,
carry out their Intentions and disperse after daylight to
their various homes without their identity being known by
some reputable witnesses, and the prosecuting officers ere
obligated not only legally, but morally, to-bring into
play every known method to ferret out and bring to jus
tice the guilty ones, if it takes six months or a year to
get sufficient evidence. There should be no let-up. The
prosecution should go on. Let there be no white-wash
Ing in this case. Tho best citizen of this section and
throughout the State will welcome the prosecution and
adequate punishment of the guilty parties, and they are
looking to the constituted prosecuting officials to go the
full limit in the investigation. . . '

She Recovered.
There are so many cases like this
right here in Kinston that we are
publishing this interesting letter with
the hope that some of our customers
will try Vinol and get the same hap
py result that Miss Bae did. s
Key West, Fla. "I am a teacher
and became anaemic, nervoua,Tun
down, no energy or desire to do any.
thing, I could not sleep nd had that
languid, nervous feeling that made
me a burden to myself. I had taken
various tonics without benefit. I
heard of Vinol and tried it. Soon I
had a good appetite, could sleep all
night and it built me up so I have the
ambition to do any kind of work."
Mary L. Bae, Key Weat, Fla.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in this case is because it is a consti
tutional remedy that goes to the seat
of trouble. Th peptone of iron con
tained in Vinol enriches and revital
izes the blood, while the strengthen-'
i, tissue-building properties of the
extractive of eoda' liver and beef
peptone aid in building' up the tired,
overworked run-down system.' J. E.
