TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1916
A market for dairy products would stimulate the pro
duction of butter, cream, and other essentials, the larg.
er portion of which, needed for Xinston's consumption,
is now imported.
1
If there is anything in numbers, Kinston should be the
beat policed city in the world, forv it has the distinction
of being one of the few, if in reality, it is not the only
one, to have two chiefs of police.
The purchase of a ticket or so for the home talent
entertainment to be staged Friday and Saturday, under
the direction of the Mothers' Club of Kinston, will help a
cause as worthy as any that Kinston has yet taken up
the fight for. A playground where the boys and (rirls,
young men and women growing up in Kinston can find
amusement and recreation amid wholesome environment
end proper supervision is absolutely essential to the de
velopment of men and women of character, physically,
mentally and morally prepared to meet life's responsibilities.
The "thanks letter" from those who were Kinston's
distinguished guests last week on the occasion of the
Carolina Municipal Association which it is our privilege
to prim, voice not only the appreciation of those who at
tended the convention of the apirit of hispitality evi
denced in their reception and entertainment but they
aupport the prediction of The Free Press that the com
ing of the mayors to Kinston did prove a most effective
and wholesome means of calling to the attention of the
people of the State the growing importance of Kinston
and this section
tells its story."
that he did not believe the attitude of Mr1.' Kltchln had
truly reflected this sentiment. Mr. Mitchell's address on
Monday i.ight was free from any semblance of harsh or
bitter criticism of his opponent and he announced that it
was his intention to conduct a campaign entirely free
from bitterness. His address was favorably received and
commended even by friends of Mr. Kitchin a well as
those who were outspokenly supporting Mr. Mitchell.
NO BREAK AT PRESENT, AT LEAST.
As has been predicted in unofficial circles in Washing
ton since the receipt of the latest German note, Presi
dent Wilson has accepted the assurances contained there
in of the German Government of a modification of the can border territory of the bandits

The .object of the American expedi
tion into Mexico was to s'op the raids
upon American border cities and
towns, and in order to accomplish
this the expedition has been pressed
far south in conditions that have made
for serious difficulties and some dan
ger of a rupture of relations between
the United States and Mexico. The
conference at EI Paso was happily
conceived to effect an adjustment to
prevent such a break and to insure
a successful clearance of the Mexi-

gotiations now pending with Great Britain, that the re
ply was unsatisfactory. The President declines, as h'
has her3tofore done, to treat with Germany or to dis
cuss in any way whatsoever, the relations of this Gov
ernment with the British Government. That, of course,
was to Le expected. Violation of in'ernational law by
one belligerent is no reason for another to do likewise.
Two wrongs never made a right.
The President's note is plain and leaves no reason for
ny further discussion of the points at issue. The Free
Press believes that when President Wilson is assured
that such orders have been issued and are being executed
by the German naval authorities as to guarantee the
proper safeguarding of American life, that he will insist
pon a satisfactory reply from Great Britain and there
s good reason to believe that the popular feeling of Am
erica will be just as cordial in support of such insistence

MR. MITCHELL'S VISIT.
The voters of Kinston had an opportunity for the first
4 ma m vnanw t 4ham lata at r uoa an A aiv a lm rn
dingman W. Mitchell of Aulander, candidate for Demo
era tic nomination for Congress from the Second Di.itrict,
Monday night when Mr. Mitchell addressed representa
tive audience at the Courthouse. Little publicity had
been given to Mr. Mitchell's coming. His friends were
not apprised of his plans until about noon, and the an
nouncement in Monday's Free Press was the firm infor
mation that most of those who heard Mi. Mitchell had
had.
That there is a great deal of interest in the contest in
the Second District was manifest 'by the close attention
given Mr. Mitchell. He is not a bombastic political ha
ranguer, but a man of parts which cannot but impress
favorably those who meet and know him. Mr. Mitchell
stated in his address Monday night which, he said, was the
opening speech of his campaign, that he was not an office
seeker and that his decision was only arrived at, at the
last minute before the time for filing notices of candida
cies ha:l expired and that he had only entered the race
beca use he felt that the -administration of President Wil
son should be supported by a man who reflected the sen
timent tf the good people of the Second District, and

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. ChappeD, of Five Tears'
Standing, Relieved by CardoL
Mt. Airy, N. C Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: "I suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punisbmenl
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about CarJui, the wo
man's tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
1 was almost cured. It did mn more
pood than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together
My friends began asking me why 1
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it."
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Det;in taking Cardui to-day. You
won't regret it. All druggists.
