The afternoon paper le first of all the paper of the home; It is delivered at a time when the "heai of the battle" has subsided and when the family clrclo is per haps more complete than, at any other time of the day; when the father has finished his work at the ofllca and the mother has laid aside her housekeepii? duties, then the afternoon paper can be read with eaca of mind with out feeling that the time being so utilized could be put to better advantage. , Newspaper advertising has pais! , the experimental stage; the commercial world so attests as exemplified in the speech of Mr. Wanamaker. ' WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1916 , Kirston now having a sure-enough "Wall Street," it is hoped that the cotton exchange will not he permitted to block traffic on the main thoroughfares hereafter. , IfUhe Bremen, sister ship' of' the Deutschland, some days' overdue on her maiden' voyage, is reported off the coats at many more pointo we will) fee inclined to believe that "she are a fleet" instead of a single boat. Cotton farmers should .be encouraged by the market ondttions which have developed during the past , f ew ''ays, the price on cotton having gone up about two cents and the cotton buyers are being tipped off by their cor respondents to buy heavily. In other words, the indica tions are that no reductions are in sight in the near fu ture. 1 7 The "discovery" by the Federal Trade Commission of the fact that the price of gasoline is exhorbitant has been known to the average consumer for the past six months, though it might not have been known that seventeen cents ' Would net a good profit. . What the country wants is not ''discovery of a fact that is already patent, but relief trom the extortion being perpetrated by the oil octopus; thT -elimination of the customary red tape procedure and a stralght-from-the-shauldor.blow,. at the ..head of the monopolists would be pleasing generally. SUCCESS ATTESTS VALUE OF NOT LESS THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS. Governor Manning of South Carolina has just issued a call to the people of his Stat for aid for the flood-strick-en sections of South Carolina. Governor Manning's ap peal is, according to his statement, made at the request of the' army engineers to supplement the federal appro priation. In this connection it should be taken into con sideration that the federal appropriation is not yet avail able and that when it is, it will hardly be adequate for all the necessities of the people; who have been victims of the devastating waters, which swept the. western part of this and other southern States. The Free Press is glad that North Carolina took imme- diate steps, even ibefore any federal aid was provided for, and that some of the distress' at least, has been relieved. Those, who are able to give, should not stand back be cause of the federal appropriation, for as it has before been emphasized, this will perhaps not be available for some time, and in the meantime food and raiment must be given to those who have it not. Kinston and Lenoir county must not be content until at least a thousand dol lars has gone forth as its participation in this needy cause. , POLICE "FOOTBALLED" AGAIN. When City Council "made that remarkable arrangement whereby Kinston was provided with two chiefs of police, thus occupying a position unique among the" municipali ties of the world, The Free Press took the position that the movement was unwise and sooner or later "there would be a clash in authority. So far, wectav heard of no serious conflicts be it said to the credit of the incumbents of the two offices, but Council for some reason concluded that its first action was unwise and has now reversed itself. As a system, the present one, whereby a chief and an assistant are in charge of the respective shifts of the fbrce, Is, we believe, far better and more productive of efficient service. Political "footballing" of thf personnel of the police de partment is an aspect, which merits more or less con sideration and must be corrected sooner or later. f - : . .. . - 71 u. - ; ' , - ' . , ,1 ' . 4k Like a cool breeze Sizlieiiit's 90 xty satisfy f CM' -S NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. , John Wanamaker, merchant prince of Philadelphia and New York, and philanthropic citizen, the pioneer in de partmcnt store newspaper advertising, told the Associated Advertising Clubs of America in kn address before their annual convention a short time ago. that he attributed the splendid success of his establishments to his early discov ery of the value of newspaper advertising. He Said in part! ' ' ' "Our little ' allowance of advertising money , went to the newspapers then, as it goes nearly altogether today, because if I ever have a monu- ment for discovering anything it would be for finding out that 4he only advertising of direct and Instant benefit to both merchant and custom er is the daily newspaper of known circulation. All others are vanity and vexatious of spirit To ; have learned this fact has greatly helped my en terprises although often there has been serious , discomfort in saying so publicly and in break ing away from posters, leaflets and weeklies." Not only has Mr, Wanamaker discovered this fact, bul most all of the successful retail merchant of the coun try give credit in a large measure to successful publicity campaigns conducted in their local newspapers. ; The department stores of the great cities of America which play for the local trade and the business within tne trading districts of their own cities, endorse tl.e af ternoon newspaper as being the best medium. Sty a can vas madf. a few years ago approximately ninety rwr cont of tho department store managers of ths country ex- WHAT OTHERS SAY $10,000 REWARD FOR 100 VOLUNTEERS. Wilmington Star: "Republican papers boobishly de mand tho recall of the National Guard from the Mexican border on account of its alleged inefficiency. The com manding officer of the army asked that the Guard be sent to safeguard an exposed border of 1,850 miles, preferring the Guardsmen because they do know something about drillingdiscipline and camp life. The general's idea was that 100,000 National Ouardsmen would be of more ser vice to him than a mob of a million interventionists who would skin up each other's feet in attempting to escape from a lot of trained bandits. A reward of $10,000 is offered for 100 respectable interventionists who will en list an the regular army for service in Mexico," When it's sizzling hot and sticky, not a breath of air going, and jst then a refresh ing breeze comes along, whew! it does satisfy! Just the thing Chesterfields do for your smoking they satisfy! But besides, Chesterfields are MILD ' - This is new cigarette enjoyment you never yet heard of a cigarette that would satisfy, and yet be mild! Chesterfields alone give smokers this new cigarette delight because no cigarette maker -can copy the Chesterfield blend! Try Chesterfields today! WHY NOT? Richmond News Leader: "A survey of the cotton in dustry of the country discloses what will be a surprising fact to the average reader, and an especially gratifying 'act to the people of the South. It is that for domestic nanufacturing purposes about three times as much of the cotton crop is now; consumed in the Southern mills as is lent North. To come down to figures, according to the N'ew York Cotton Exchange: statistics, 'last year's crop mounted to 12,861,538 bales, of which 3,932,932 were tak- in by Southern mills, while the number of overland bales to Northern mills and to Canada was 1,368.939. It is ex- jlained in the survey that most of the cotton goods man ufactured in the South are of a relative coarse variety; and t is argued that in proportion as this section increases its output of such goods, there will be greater tendency 10 for 5c Also packed 20 for 10c C.ICIAWBTTBS'1 WW and yet they're MILD 1 at the North, as has long been the case in England, to confine production in the larger measure to the finer fabrics. "But why not Southern competition in the production of these finer goods, a:M, together with an increase pro portionate to v that jn the relatively ;oarse variety? The natural advan tages the South enjoys in respect to the one branch of the cotton manu facturing industry exists with respect to the other. The problem involved is only one of machinery and skilled labor, which capital and time ' and training can solve." & N. C.
