' THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 13. 1916
And Jimmie Cowan hasn't said 4 word about Wirights
ville! Do you believe it?
We apprehend that if there was as much hog cholera
in any community as there is evidence of typhoid infec
tion an Kinston, several experts. would have already been
on the job to save the valuable swine.
Under the law ships cannot put to sea from an Amer
ican port without the requisite number of registered sea
men. We don't know whether the boys who brought the
Deutschland across are registered or not, but if ability
counts for anything they are entitled to registration.
The rank and file of the Bull Moosers are forced to
cast their lot eo far as the selection of the President
is concerned, either with their ancient enemies of the
"stand-pat" brigade, or move forward and vote for Mr.
Wilson, .'However, they still foao a Vice-President and a
platform of their own first choice.
The Greensboro News wants to know where the best
people of the Kinston vicinity stand with reference to
law enforcement. The best people of this vicinity stand
just whore the best people of Greensboro and the best
people of every other Vicinity stand. They are unequivo
cally for law enforcement.
Last year when the editors of North Carolina gather
l ed for their annual "pow-wow" at Montreat they had as
their guests the follows from the Palmetto State, and
the visitors proved to be fine company, and added muchly
to the pleasure of the occasion. .Expressions of regret
are being heard at this year's meeting owing to the fact
that Joint sessions could not be arranged for this year.
into the system through the mouth, more : commonly
through wate.-or milk. The germ can be conveyed by
flies to vegetables, fruit and other eatables, which are
exposed, and for that reason there is necessity forthe
greatest precaution in the handling of cases and for
the frei use of germicides with everything used in con
nection with the sick room.
Those families where the disease has developed can
render service in preventing its spres by exercise of
due care. The best and safest steps perhaps for those,
who have not been afflicted, is to take the anti-typhoid
treatment. This has been found to give immunity in
the very large majority of cases. The serum is furnished
to physicians without cost by the State Laboratory.
There is some discomfort occasioned by the administer
ing or at least the effects of the dose, but such ill effects
are insignificant indeed, when compared with the real
thing. The (insurance is well worth the premium.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
HOW MUCH BETTER WOULD IT BET
One of Lenoir's well-to-do farmers Informed The Free
Press a few days ago that he expected to ship a car
load of hogs to some nearby market this fall. Undoubt
edly this will be an event worthy of congratulation and
one which will bring favorable comment for this section
How much better would it be, however, if this pro
gressive farmer could bring to Kinston a carload of hogs
ami dispose of them here or find facilities here for
slaughtering and packing instead of having to send this
stock, possibly, out of. the State for the larger profit to
be gained by some other community, which has made such
provisions?
THE INSURANCE WORTH THE PREMIUM.
Unless there is an intelligent investigation by compe
tent health authorities the source of typhoid fever, which
is now prevalent in this section, cannot be determined.
Health experts'proclaim the scourge to be a creature of
filth, and positively preventabla when proper precautions
are observed. It is a known fact that, the germ is takon

"DAVID" TO "DEUTSCHLAND."
Richmond News Leader: "Twelve years a.?o and only
twelve, separated tho Clermont from the Savannah the
Uk?i practical steamship from the first transatlantic liner.
Fifty-three years separate the David, the first steam sub
marine, from the Deutschland, which raced yesterday
into the harbor of Baltimore. ' In admiration of the lat
ter fact, therefore, we will1 do well to avoid superlatives.
The journey which a German completed a Southerner
forecast: the accomplishment has been merely a ques
tion of time.
"But when we say that it took fifty-three years to
perfect the submarine for a voyage across the Atlantic,
we are, of course, speaking historically. The cunning la
bors of Confederate engineers, which- gave the world the
first true submarine, were laughed at byv the thoughtless
and ignored by the learned. And when one of the early
Davids was lost in a successful attack on the Federal
Housatonic, wiseacres prophesied the dream of under
aeas attacks would never be fulfilled. Not until Holland
built his first submarine in 1877 were the early discour
agements overcome; and not until ten years later was
the government sufficiently interested to invite plans for
the construction of a war submarine. In 1903 the United
States formally authorized for the first time the build.
ing of a submarine, the Plunger. That historic little craft
was only 85 feet long, with a diameter of 11 1-2 feet and
a displacement of 168 tons. Thus in only one year more
than dt took to develop the Savannah from the Clermont,
a vessel almost three times as long as the Plunger, and
with a displacement about five times as great, has passed
the British cordon, crossed the Atlantic and docked at
the head of the Chesapeake. Every man who admires
daring will salute the crew and every man who respects
ingenuity must applaud the resourcefulness of the Ger
man shipbuilders. Truly they find a way out of every
difficulty. . , ;i
"At the same time, it is foolish to say that the Deutsch
land ends the blockade of German ports. One swallow
does not make a summer and one transatlantic submersi
ble merchantman cannot supply the needs of a nation.
The Deutschland will carry back many spies' reports,
much mail, much money and some rubber and nickel: a
hundred Deutschlands could not land in German ports
as many goods as are unshipped every day in Great Brit
ain under the protection of the fleet. Besides all this,
th economy of the service, the length of time consumed
on the journey and the wear and tear on boat must all
be considered before the submarine can be considered as
a commercial possibility. At present the Deutschland
represents merely a very convincing evidence of German
seamanship end a very striking taunt to their enemies.
"No international difficulties are probable as a result of
the arrival of the Deutschland. If she is unarmed, or is
armed only for defense, she has as much right and as
hearty-a welcome dn American waters as any ship of
tho Allied Powers. Our neutrality is as unfeigned as it
is impartial. Nor will the vessel be in ssrious danger
from tho British cruisers off our coast. To follow her
course, when submerged, beyond the three-mile limit, the
men-of-war would have to employ hydroplanes, and even
then they could not destroy her readily. If she passes
out at night, the Deutschland will havo only accidents to
foar until she reaches the British coast Then, we may
be sure, tho Allies will attempt to snare her, but, we
suspect, in vain.
'No wonder they call her the Diving Dutchman!"
