In Lenoir county the au tomobile investment is $3,92 against a school investment of $5.08. V The comparative arerage for the State is not so bad, but it certainly can't be said to the credit of any county in the State that it has m ore money invested in automo bile, the majority of which no doubt may still be classed as luxuries, than they have put into the school property for the proper education of the boys and girls. SPECIAL CHARLOTTE SERVICE. In its aftermath of the Saturday celebration the Char lotte Observer carries quite a liberal reproduction of the story sent The Free Press by News Editor McDevett The Free Press was one of the few papers In the State which, had its staff representative at Charlotte, and did not rely upon the regular news associations entirely for its report. In addition to Mr. McDevett'a story,' The Free Press carried a most interesting account written by Robert Bender, the prominent and capable correspondent of the United Press, who has been assigned special de tail to accompany the President oh his" various trips. No paper in the State carried a fuller or more accurate ac count of the big celebration which was not only of in terest and importance to Charloftc but to the State at large, the South and the entire country. The occasion warranted special service, and as usual it was provided. Readers of The Free Press are always assured the cream of the news both from the home field and abroad. WHAT OTHERS SAY APPEARS INTERESTING FOR KITCHIN. Henderson Dispatch: "Some are naturally wondering if the New York Herald has had anything to do with Representative "Claude Kitchin's sudden falling into line with his colleagues in supporting the House naval ap propriation bill. From all reports, things are becoming at least interesting down in Mr. Kitchin's district, where a great many Democrats appear to have lost all patience with his opposition to the Administration's prepared ness program. At first it was taicen lor granted max any opposition to Mr. Kitchin would prove to be some what fit a Joke, but it appears to have become a rather serious matter for him and might yet become even more so. Many of his former loyal supporters have regret ted that Mr. Kitchin's 'conscience' had outgrown his bet ter judgment, and consequently a veritable nest of op position has been stirred up against hint in his own dis trict." AUTOMOBILES AND SCHOOLS. .This week's issue of the University News Letter carries a most interesting statistical table showing the average per capita investment in white school property in .the counties of the State during the year 1913-14. The State average was $5.10. Durham County heads the Hat with a per capita investment of $13.97 in white school property. Tyrrell brings up the ! rear with the Tather humiliating figure of 44c, Lenoir ( County is 2c below the State average, having per capita investment of $5.08; Craven, $13.05; Pitt, $6.47; Wayne, $0.46; Greene, $3.15. an J Jones, $2.80. The table carries an Interesting comparison with the per capita investment in automobiles. The State aver age, both races,. June 30, 1915, was $3.12. New Hano ver's auto investment of $0.65, is the largest per capita an In (this connection it is interesting to i note that Currituck's per capita' investment In white school property is only $4.25. This is not the 'only in stance in the State where the automobile investment ex ceeds the school property: For instance, Guilford County has an automobile per capita investment of $(5.68, and a school investment of $6.32; Scotland's automobile in vestment is $6.37 against $3.95 school; Davidson, an au tomobile investment of $5.84 anj school investment of $3.69. while Macon's automobile .investment ia more than double the school investment, tlje figures being $5.41 against $2.20, and Tyrrell's automobile investment is mora than five times its school -property investment, the investment, while Currituck is?;lose second with . ... average or sb.ou THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS. Charlotte Observer: "The political section of Presi dent Wilson's speech, which was delivered in Salisbury, is attracting considerable attention, being of liberal dis cusslon by the metropolitan papers. The Pittsburg Post, which enjoys the distinction of being the only Democratic paper in that Pennsylvania city, thinks the President gave the rank and file of the Republican party something to think abouwhen he reminded them that the men now controlling that party 'are looking backward, instead of forward.' It was in his Salisbury speech that the Presi dent emphasized the point that we are at the beginning of a new age for the world and that America will have to play a great part in it He started that the men seeking to represent the Republican party give no evidence of their knowing the problems of the new day or of being in sympathy with the believers in progressive principles. As an Illustration, the Chief Executive drew attention to the fact that whenever he attempts to Bhow his sym pathy with the forward-looking men of their own party by nominating men of that type, the controllers of the Republican party "at once try to block the process.' The Post thinks the reference was to the action of Republic ana in the Senate in bringing about, by appeal of Gall in ger to 'senatorial courtesy,' the rejection of Hie nomina tion of George F. Rublee, a progressive Republican of New Hampshire, to be a member of the Federal Trade Commission. The Post's analysis of the President's Salis bury talk is that it made clear there will be no mincing of words during the campaign in reviewing the record of some of the Republican leaders In this most trying period of the Nation. When one recalls the words of the big men of all parties in some of the previous crises of the United States, one gets a basis for measuring the utterances . the Republican leaders of today. The con trast Is not to the disadvantage of the patriots of other days." ml I ' . iU SI SL' i.Mtm. " 1 .Vl. V Ik 7.
