SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 2 , 1916 The LaGrange Journal which succeeds the LaGrange Gerf'ind has made its initial appearance. The new pa per is published by a company composed of, we are informed, some of LaGrange's leading citizens, and La Grange is thus insured a more substantial paper thar it has heretofore had the privilege to possess. The iFre Press extends greetings to The Journal and to Eilitoi Felts, who is in charge of the new undertaking. nest Webb is devoting a great deal of time, far more than ha should be expected to do, to the public service, and Kinston will be everlastingly obligated to him for the patriotic, intelligent and capable service that he is rendering. He is doin a work for glory, which a chief executive, whose full time engaged and paid for, would do witli credit to himself and his administration. The Free Press believes that the people of Kinston should recognlsi the valuable services of Mr. Webb and that sooner or Jater he will in part, at least, be rewarded for the g0"d work he is now doing without compensation. OLD LINERS PREPARE TO SWALLOW THE PILL. The pipe of peace 'twixt Ye Old Liners and Ye Mod ern Moose rs in Lenoir county has been smoked. A happy "get together" has been perfected. The hatchet has beer buried and the honorary nominations have been as equit ably distributed among the partisans of the "stand pat' crowd and the disciples of the Colonel as it was possiblr fat an overaealous peace gathering to make. Doth fac tions claim, of course, most naturally, capitulation of the other. To the outsider it appears that the Bull MooBerr . ' are in the ascendency and that the Old Linors ere sim jdy whetting their appetites to swallow the pill that the Colonel proposes to dose them with in Chicago. It is quite apparent that the dose must be taken and we can' but admire the courage and grace with which the Old Liners arc preparing to take their medicine. GREAT IS KINSTON. That Kinston is undergoing a remarkable transforma tion and that its transition from the over-grown village . claaa the small city bearing all the ear-marks of the hustling, thriving, progressive urban life, may not be as apparent to the average citiscn as it should be. But that uch changes are taking place, and that the progress is attracting the attention of all who come here Is attested moat eloquently, by the splendid expressions of praise that are heard from all of our visitors, who make com ment. Houses are going up wherever there are denir f&le vacant lots, stores are being remodeled, new ones WHY THIS FEVER? Twno cases of typhoid fever have developed in the past week in Kinston, and there may be others of which we have not heard. No causes have yet been assignd by the attending physicians. The Kinston water, according to the last analysis and all the analyses, has made a splen did record. No taint of contamination of any kind has been discovered. The physicians and health experts in form us that typhoid is a creature of fit;h. The germ must be taken into the system through the food or drink. Water and milk are the most common conveyors of the germ. The water has been analyzed and found all Tighr. The milk has not been analyzed nor is there machinery for analyzing it. Who can say that the res ponsibility for these cases of fever and others which may develop does not rest on the milk supply? It is not s question, however, for guess work. The time for action has come. The city authorities, who have been derelict in discharging their obligations to the public in provid incr for adeouate milk and meat inspection and health safeguards generally, should immediately take steps to locate the origin of these cases of fever. The physicians toll us that in this enlightened age it is closely bor lering on criminal neglect for any community to suffer from the scourge of typhoid fever. The machinery shouW; le set in motion now to determine and get rid of the cause for this infection and the responsibility rests upon the Ci'.y Council which has been elected, and which is entrusted with 'the responsilnitity of safeguarding the public health of Kinston. mN mmmmmmmmmm ' jpy f THE CRiAM OF ALL ICB CREAMS I f- M io it- a-- UVPiSL IB I smooth, so appealing to young S VfjW J f R ; and old!

The Yankee stronghold will bo in vaded in 1917 without firing a hot, and the rebel yell will be heard in all the corridors of the National Capital. "When Col. Hilary A.

"That fine gentleman of the Old South. Colonel Her bert, now a citizen of Washing-ton, was chosen by the Capital City to bring the overtures for peace. He perform ed his task well. He recalled the time when the soldiers of the Confederacy tried to enter the gates of Washing ton, of those dark hours of the Union when 'the growl of Southern cannon was heard by the citizens of the Federal Capital. Fifty-odd years later the remnants of the rebel lion were invited to come and lake the city. It is theirs Cradle of the Confederacy will lead the Confejrate hosts for another year Gen. George P.

"Great k Kinston and The Free Press Tells IU Story! MR. WEBB'S VALUABLE SERVICES. , No ntngle contributing factor has been more responsi ble for the transformation that has taken place in Kin aton and which has converted it from a big, over-grown Tillage with country road streets to a moderrvly puved, citified community than the municipal improvements, par ticularly the paving now in progress. Kinston is in debted, too, to one of its aldormen very largely for this aplendid pavhig program, and for the capable and intel ligent improvement work that has been 90 marked dur ing tho paat year and a half. Street Commissioner Er in Gray gave their consent reluctantly. No doubt many of the veterans believed that Southern soil was the better place for reunions of Southerners, but since there were only two applicants for the twenty-seventh reunion, it is believed that the Oklahomans and Tennesseans an 1 many hundreds of representatives from the Western Con federate divisions voted for these cities because of their nearness. Probably n wish to attend the next reunion with the least possible inconvenience governed the voting of many opponents to the 'On to Washington' slogan. "But now that tthe decision is made, hundreds of veter ans who fought the movement will fall in line.

Yet because of that fact, you would make the mistake of your life if you bought any other engine. Gasoline and kerosene engines burn about the same amounts of fuel. .Gasoline now costs, in most places, over 100 per cent more than kerosene. A 6H. P. engine, gasoline or kerosene, burns 700 to 800 gallons of fuel in 1,000 hours' work. At present, average prices, 700 gallonf of gasoline would cost you about $175, while 800 gallons of kerosene costs but $96 or thereabouts. A Titan 6 H. P. engine, burning kerosene,. would therefore save yor somewhere around $70 a year. Now do you realize what a startling statement that is? Titan ti''" burn kerosene.

After much solicitation from peo e in various sections of the county, 1 hereby announce myself a candi- late for the House of Representa- ives in the General Assembly of Having long entertained certain views a3 to the method of building and maintaining roads and toward county affairs generally, I hereby announce myself a candidate for Commissioner, subject to the wishes of the Demo cratic voters, expressed in the Primary, June 3, 1916. And in this connection it is my purpose herein to express my views of the proper course to pursue, so that all the people of Lenoir county may share in the blessings of good roads, the most important matter now before the people of Lenoir county. If elected to the office of Commissioner I shall earnestly endeavor to have the Board immediately authorize the building, by contract, of th? most important roads near Kinston and LaGrange, and that the present road force be sent to more remote parts of Lenoir county, for the upbuilding of those roads, many of which have had little or no work done to them in twenty years. It is apparent to all that not only the roads near LaGrange and Kinston need work, but that there is no hope of improvement in the near future for the more remote roads under the present system. Also, at least one pieca of road, the Dam, needs some permanent sur face, and the same is probably true of the (road between the city limits and the Caswell Training School. However, where possible, the abutting own ers should be assessed for a small portion of the expense of permanent sur faced roads. And I should favor the continuance of the contract let by the present Commissioners for the dragging and maintaining of the roads under the supervision of an engineer furnished by the Federal Government. But the citizens of this county should realize that good roads will cost money, and that it will be necessary that the county borrow on open notes or by bonds, such amounts as may be necessary for the establishment of the roads contemplated, by this statement. High taxes has ever been the cry of those opposed to progress and, though the people of North Carolina pay less taxes than those of forty other States, many make that cry here. But citizens of this county, I am convinced, desire to pay for what they get. I believe that the longer waiting for good roads will cost the people much larger amounts and immediately, and that thereafter the cost will continue great until good roads shall have bee'n obtained. The greater part of the present cost of roads is not collected through the sheriff's office, but by the wheelwright, tha blacksmith, the garage, and the inability of getting produce to market. Since the above statement was handed to the printer, last Saturday, the present board has issued a statement of what they MAY do in the future. I am pleased that they have seen fit to endorse ,the same thing for which I entered the contest. But the people of many sections have long expected these very improvements and are yet calling in vain for .them. (Paid Political Advertising) G. G.
