It is gratifying that Minority Leader Mann of the House
of Representatives reconsidered his blocking action in the
matter of Ftdoral relief for the Southern States, which
have been devastated by recent floods, and that an ap
propriation of more than a half million is available, or
will be shortly for the relief of tha flood-stricken suffer
era. It would irxiwd be unfortunate for sectionalism to
be injected Into a measure of this kind. The call is one
if humanity, and because misfortune befalls any parti
cular section to decline aid is but playing small politics.
Mr. Mann usually plays that sort of a game, but he
hould be given credit for a sane second thought in the
caso in question.

Whon he tells the skeptic that Chris

"So it is thai thve of us now find

in hi chosen field of labor his minis
try will bear rich fruit. How could
it be otherwise when consecration,

The Raleigh News and Observer announces that one
of Raleigh's munition manufacturers lias secured a large
order for several classes of projectilos for tho United
States Navy. To bo sure, what's the use of having its
chief citizen Secretary of the Navy, all things being equal,
if such orders cant be thrown homeward.

- Unquestionably Raleigh had the right to call upon Rich
mond and expect the Old Dominion's Capital to come to
its assistance in landing one of the farm loan banks.
Richmond had no stronger supporter in its successful fight
for the Regional Bank than Raleigh, and the larger part
of North Carolina, for that matter. The reports coming
from Richmond indicate that the influence of the Rich
mond people will be given to Raleigh.
LET'S NOT GROW WEARV IN WELL DOIX.
The call for aid for the flood sufferers for Western Car
olina is still heard. The response from the more fortun
ate sections of the State to the appeal, sent out for the
stricken people by Governor Craig through the relief
committee appointed by him, has been most credtiable.
Tho good people of the State have given liberally of their
means yet hardly a third of the amount needed to give
first aid and "keep the wolf from the door," has been
subscribed.
Kinston and Lenoir county have sent in more than $700,
a fine sum. The Free Press hopes that before the pres
ent week closes the first thousand from this section will
have gone forward. There must, in order to accomplish
this end, however, be many of the larger and more sub
stantial contributions which have been asked for through
these columns. The Free Press believes that there are
easily ten citizens of Lenoir county who could give $25
each in addition to what some of them have already giv
and it is going to take some $25 and $50 subscriptions,
and even a hundred or two would not bring this county's
gifts beyond her share. Let us not cease the good work
until the end has been met.

Had Capt. Koenig been in command of an ordinary mer

the world would not have been more, surprised than it
has been on many other occasions When German daring

sible. The odds on getting by with the submersible were
rather even and there is little surprise today when an
nouncement is flashed over the country that the giant
merchant submarine has outwitted its enemies and is
well on its return to its home port. "
The many friends in Eastern Carolina of Rev. II . B
Mellon, formerly of this section, will be interested in the
splendid tribute paid to Mr. Melton by the Richmond
News Leader, the editorial of which papor is reproduced
in the 'What Others Say" column today. Mr. Melton is
i a son-in-law of Prof. Joseph Kinsey, the popular and be
loved county superintendent of schools. He has been in
Richmond for some years, where he conducted a most in
fluential pastorate, end more recently has been engaged
fa business in which he has had marked success. A few
days ago ho accepted a call to a prominent Baltimore
TESTING THE GOSPEL.
Richmond News Lender: "Back of the. decision of the
Rev. B. H. Melton to accept a call to a Ualtimore church
la a story so unusual and so inspiring that we cannot for
bear telling it '
"Ten years ago Mr. Melton was at the head of a pros
perous church, useful, beloved, admired. If ever a min
istry was successful his was; if ever a clergyman had the
right to be contented, Mr. Melton had. He had seen the
power of tho Spirit. He had watched the growth of his
chtweh. He had proved the faith that was in him. J
"But deep in his heart one question would not down:
This Gospel he "preached of mercy and love, of right-deal
ing and peace was it applicable to the business man as
readily as to the minister? Could a man run a factory as
he would a church ahd observe the same rules ? Mr. Mel
ton believed and preached that it could be done but could
it?
"So it was that when the consolidation of his church
with another seemed the logical seep in development, he
I resigned his pastorate to the great regret of his people
and put to tho practical test the question he had been
raking. He preached as much as before to pastorless
churches and to weak congregations, but his living he
made, as millions must, by the toil of his body and brain.
Sunday would find him in the pulpit; almost every noon
he was in the juvenile court; a spare moment he had for
every work of charity. For the .rest, he was answering
his question. Perfecting a system of building construc
tion, he bought land, erected houses on it, sold them, made
a fair profit and starred the same process again. The re
sult is known: he prospered beyond the expectation of
most men and, had he desired, would have piled up a for
tune. "He did not want the money, but the experience; and
whsn the months began-' to slip into the years, with the
answer to his question plain, he gradually broke up his
machine, saw his employes well placed elsewhere, afid now
has re-entered the pastorate. Henceforth, we divine, his
Gospel will ring with a stronger note of assurance. He

CONVICT TRUSTY MADE
BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON
AGED GREENE NEGRESS
(Special to The Free Press)
liookerton, Aug. 3. The feet of
Honry Woodard, a negro convict trus
y at the tireene county camp near
he'-c, helped to get hkn into trouble
today. His pedal extremities are
oddly shaped, and after he had bru
laity assaulted Mary towards, an
;ed colored woman who resides t
mile from here, he was easily track'
ed back to the convict camp.
Mary Edwards was asleep with r
small granddaughter in her home at
it a. m. when the assault occurred
The' was no other person in the
house. Woodard took off his shoes,
loosened a window pane, made an
2asy entrance and removed a lantern
from beside the old woman's bed. She
was awakened by a noise and struck
a match. The man hurled himself up
on her and struck her full in the face.
She put up a strenuous defense, bit
him severely on an arm and made
her escape into a field. Neighbors

These new corn flakes bear a unique deliciousness because of their self-developed flavor and
mproved form. The flavor is true essence of choice, ripe Indian corn. Unlike ordinary "corn
flakes," the New Post Toasties do not depend upon cream anVl sugar for their palatabilily.
Try some dry they're good that way and the test will demonstrate their flavor. Then try
some with cream or rich milk. Note that New Post Toasties are not "chaffy" in the packace-

and that they don t mush down when cream is added.
New Post Toasties are known by the tiny "bubbles" on each flake, produced by the quick,' .
