such loss. Families have been wiped out, and in many
cases all earthly possessions have been destroyed. Sucl.

lack of courage to go forward to rebuild the industries
and homes that have been destroyed.

they are a deformed pair. '
PHENOMENON: A Kinston policeman has actuall;
been seen calling the attention of a ang of spitters, whr
were expectorating on the sidewalks, to the violation o
the city law, by so doing,

The visitors will probably reach Kinston on the afternoos
of the 2&th and spend the night here, resuming their tout
going out over the Atlantic Coast Line on the morninf
of the 26th.' the object of the tour, as announced in thi

PRESS ASSOCIATION SHOULD HAVE
ENLARGED MEMBERSHIP.
The Free Press has not' yet taken notice editorially
he selection of Editor Edward E. Britton of the Raleigl
News and Observer as president of the State Tress Asso
jiation. This is not because Tha Free Press did not ap
prove of the selection, for it believes that the affairs of thi
association are in , excellent hands. Friejid EVitton is
nnn.lilfi n-enidino- officer. enial and popular with tht
' r " , .
(ditors of the stuta, and we predict a good year for tht
Press Association.'"
We hone that the matter of securing a larger mem
bership, to which we-referred in an article a few dayf
igo, will have the consideration of the executive commit
ee, and that definite plans for an increase will be devijet
mil i.mnloved. and that those who haven't before taker
nte-rest and become members will do so. Ths Press As
wiation is a mutu&Jly beneficial organization, imposing
10 extra duties upon the members except those who art
lonorcd with office, and even they are not burdened ex
ept though it be' the worthy secretary.
Much good can be accomplished through the co-opera-
ion of all the mcTnbcrs of the press in, the state ano
he lack of interest and co-operation of any very natur
illy weakens the work of the association to that extent
Sarnest and determined efforts should be made to interest
jvery eligible member in the state.
Success to President Britton and the Executive Ccm
nittee in whatever plans they may decide to' make usi
of to that end.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
i
i A. & M. COLLEGE'S RECOGNITION.
Tha recognition given the-textile department at the
North Carolina College of Agricultural and Mechanic
Arts by being selected by the United States Government
to make some Important testa on various grades of cot
ton, is a source of encouragement to every North Caro-
linian and friend of the splendid institution.
The selection is not simply an honorary one. There
' were certain requirement which the college had to com
ply with before qualifying to compete.
The experiments thus undertaken with North Carolint
cotton will no doubt mean further advance and progress
. In the textile industry so far as the state is concerned.
And it is gratifying to know that the progress in thif
particular case jrives rise to the hope that North Caro
;-lina will attain her rightful position in textile industrial
circles.
The aplcndiJ recognition shown A. & M. graduates ir
all departments by the readiness with which they always
- . secure' first-class positions is another evidence of 'thi
v worth of thi splendid state institution.
A BOND OF SYMPATHY.
Ths death toll in the disastrous storm which struck tht
western part of the state Sunday has not yet been com
pleted. The list has grown to more than double what i
was first estimated, and the probability is that it wili
run still higher, and parhaps the exact numbiw of lives
lost will never be known. Neither can the property dam
age which runs way up into the millions be accurately

NOT AS PLEASANT AS USUAL.
Wilmington Dispatch: "Usually notification of a presi
dential nominee is a joyous occasion; not merely because
t is accepted as an occasion upon which the nominee am
his partisan colleagues can wax merry and roll out cam
paign thunder, while posing in the limelight, but because
juite naturally, the candidate feels good about it. Bu'
in the case of Mr. Ex-Justice Hughes the occasion i;
orobably looked upon In a different way by the gentleman
nost concerned. Not that he will not enjoy the spectacu
'arism and the notoriety of the event, but it is going tc
ut him in a position once again when he must say som
hing that Hughes has been avoiding. He would win by
mission rather than lose by commission. In other words
f he keeps quiet or propounds a lot of meaningless
mrasea, clear only for their denunciation, devoid of rea
ion, of Woodrow Wilson, he hopes to win, when he knowt
hat if he attempts to explain he will lose by commission.
"Rather a peculiar position for a man holding the ex-
ilted trust imposed in Hughes, but political self-preser-uecn
imbued by Charles Evans Hughes in spite of hif
ears of dignity and Joftiness upon the bench of the Su
preme Court of the United States."

WOOLY DOG WHOU
GET A WAR MEDAL
(By the United Press)
London, June 25 (By Mail)
rhere's a black, wooly dog some-
vhere out fn Egypt today who's gy
ng to get a real war medal soon.
Bruno, pet of the Royal Scots Fus-
tiers Regiment, saved more lives in
ve minuter than, probably, any oth
hero of the war.
An official communique from Cairo
oday tells how the Royal Scots beat
iff a Surprise attack by 500 Turks
it Douidar, with heavy 'loss to the
Mul tan'S ,oldieirs. ,
Taking advantage of a heavy fog,
'ha Turks were able v to advance
itealthily to within a fow hundred
.vVrds of the British camp. Bruno,
barking furiously, dashed back and
'orth in front of the camp until al
nost every man 3S on the alert.
Fhe Turks advanced out of the mist
opened fire.
Warned in time by the canine
'trooper," the Royal Scots answered
'he enemy bullet for bullet and the
latter retired, leaving many dead and
vounded. Bruno was in the thick of
;he fight. He was quite badly wound
d and is only now slowly beginning
.o recover. You may depend upon it.
