And tomorrow Chautauqua begins! That reminds us!
Today is the last opportunity td get a season ticket.
A contemporary proclaimed; "Don't let this bo our lust
Chautauqua." As a guarantor we await this year's out
come before venturing further.
i INTERESTING AND IJlfiORTANTijr
The negotiations now in progress between the Nor
folk Southern Railroad and the Deal interests, whereby
the Norfolk Southern would acquire the Deal Railroad
from Pink Hill to Beulaville, are both interesting and im
portant. Eighteen months ago President Young and other offi
cials of the Norfolk Southern were taken by members of
the Chamber of Commerce to Beulaville, und the splen
did advantages of the territory to the south pointed out
to them. At that time business conditions were not such
as to warrant the hope that any action would be taken
then, although the railroad officials were manifestly im
pressed with the possibilities, which the opening of the
territory would mean for their system and for Kinston.
No s. ction of the state has greater possibilities for ag
ricultural development than the territory which lies to
the south. Adequate market facilities are naturally in
dispensable in the proper development, and Kinston is
the logical outlet for the products of this fertile section.
The Free Press hopes that the negotiations now in pro
gress mean that aggressive railroad development is to
come. The facilities afforded by the Deal interests with
their logging road brought perceptible returns last year,
particularly so in attracting to the local market tobacco
grown in the section south of Pink Hill. The people of
the section feel kindly toward Kinston. They are out
spokenly in favor of the railroad connection and the
Chamber of Commerce will do well to follow up the ad
vantage that now seems apparent in bringing to an early
conclusion the accomplijshment of n lend Iwhieh Will
mean much as a contributing factor in the future growth
and prosperity of Kinston.
The Colonel still maintains that he is out of politics.
If he'd ay "race" a lot of us could agree with him
whether his declination of the Progressive nomination
stood or was withdrawn.

The Morning New Bernian asks the question: "Are
the guarantors awake?" They are in Kinston as prob
ably every citizen who has had several opportunities of
buying a seasoin ticket during the past day or two will
attest
The Greensboro News in a rather dignified roast of the
ball team, representing the Gate City in the Carolina
League, points out the usefulness of the game to the cit-
zejis. Among other things, it emphasizes the benefit
from sunshine and vocal exercise as well as mental re
laxation enjoyed by the patrons of the game. However,
our esteemed contemporary thinks that such benefits are
largely dependent upon whether the home team is win
ning or not. The News presents a psychological aspect
which is a little in contrast to the usual halloo that is
made for "our money's worth."
erlin continues to claim the sinking ,of the "War
spite," Britain's greatest ea fighter, with all on board.
The commander of the battleship, however, refutes the
allegation and declines most emphatically to be classed
with the dead heroes.
While not questioning Justice Hughes' assurance in
his letter of acceptance, that he would have preferred
not to have had the Republican presidential nomination,
he had evidently given some thought to the meat of his
letter of acceptance, and was prepared when the "light
ning hit" him.
The esteemed New Bern Sun thinks that the Georgia

mart who committed suicide because of his inability to
And a girl in hie native state whose beauty suited his taste
hould have come to iNew Bern. So far as real beauty
is concerned, the Georgian might have "saved hia life"
most anywhere in North Carolina. But, of course, we
don't know what his 'dea beMtfr was.
General Trevino has notifiedeneral Pershing that
General Gavira was not authorized to discuss military
subjects with him. The information will probably have
little real weight with General Pershing, who no doubt
has already cumo to the conclusion that the statements
of the Mexican generals, whether given in onference
or informally, authorized or with official sanction, are
all in the same class, not to be depended upon.
Over in St. Louis it is reported that Chairman Mc
Combs of the Democratic National Committee is endea
voring to kidnap the four million Progressive voters who
have ibeen set adrift "because of the desertion of their
leader. Whether Mr. McCombs and the Progressive lead
ers get together or not, it is safe to predict that a giodly
numt)or of tho four million in the ranks will vote for Mr.
Wilson in November. A good many of them are Demo
crats at heart, anyway. We know, at least, we have it
from the gentleman himself, that one of the delegates
in the North Carolina delegation to Chicago votes the
Democratic ticket in State matters and simply disagrees
in National politics on the tariff question, or as he ex
presses it, "being a manufacturer, naturally feels the
need of a little protection."
WHAT OTHERS SAY
THE BLUE SKY LAW.
Raleigh News and Observer: "News E'ulletin No. 73
of the North Carolina Insurance Department expresses
satisfaction at the action of the Supreme Court in uphold
ing the Blue Sky Law. It is a good law and serving a
useful purpose. It should be rigidly enforced. Shrewd
salesmen have fleeced enough of the people with their
glittering allurements as to worthless stock. It is strange
that people have to be protected from their own avidity
for easy money, but it is a fact nevertheless. The advice
of the Insurance Department is 'Citizens who are ap
proached with propositions to sell these stocks and in
vestments to them should by all means call the agent to
show his license from the State and, if it is not forth
coming, have nothing to do with the proposition, no mat
ter how attractive it may seem."
DESERTED AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR.
Wilmington Dispatch: "Under the head of self-preservation,
moved by the demands of a bluff, Theodore
Roosevelt may not have betrayed the clamor
ous hosts that assembled in Chicago under the Progres
sive banner, yet he did make monkeys of those who
trusted him so blindly and swore by him and at those
ugainst him in frenzied joy and rage.
"If Roosevelt did not intend to head a third party, if
he did not intend to accept the nomination at the hands
of the Progressive party, why did he not so inform his
blind-followers? It was unjust, cruel and ungrateful to
lead them to the door and then desert them. He knew,
if he knew anything at all, that they would nominate
him; that they were clamoring to name him; that the
one, man he had posed as being strongest against was
Charles Evans Hughes, and that the nomination of Mr.
Hughes, with the exception of Roosevelt, was a cer
tainty. Yet he allowed his followers, not alone to bellow
for him, but to dream that he would be their champion
and would turn his spear upon -those who had jeered and
belittled them. He left them no chance to save their
own hides; not even opportunity to avoid the slush of
mortification." i

PHYSICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION
FOR RHEUMATISM.
Business and professional men of
large means who have taken expen
sive baths at (famous resorts and
have spent money , lavishly to rid
themselves of the tormenting agony
(rf rheumatism have turned to Rheu
ma and got well.
When Rheuma goes in, poisonous
secretions go out. No opiates or
narcotics are used. Rheuma drives
out the cause of rheumatism and
speedily brings comfort and health,
and most druggists will admit it.
Two bottles of Rheuma will cost
you a dollar of J. E. Hood & Co., or
any druggist, and if this purchase
does not bring you the freedom from
pain and misery you expected, your
money is waiting for you. adv.
