FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 11, 1916 Hog and hominy, home-raised, is the best antidote for the proposed ten cent, bread. If the railroads decline to give an inch and the em ployee do likewise, the question remains whether the med iators can furnish a link torilfehough tobridge the chasm. The action of the Republican caucus in declining to en dorse the proposition for adjournment of Congress in September will probably have little weight if the Demo cratic caucus decides that It is time to quit. The true old saying "an ill wind that blows nobody good," is being exemplified in the encouraging reports which come from the tobacco markets which have already opened to ihe south. The Fairmont market reports the aale of ona load i oV $533.00, an average of 40c a pound, and active buying at good prices is the rd, which the Lumberton Robesonian is tending out .ling its mar ket.' The flood's devastation is shooting prices skyward. How the mighty hava fallen! One who is familiar with the baseball records for the past decade can hardly be lieve his own eyes when gaaing upon the percentage of Jhe American League and sees there reposing at the foot of the column, with the ignomlnoua percentage of 192, the great machine of Connis Mack one? heralded as the great est fighting team the world of baseball had produced. Twenty consecutive defeats ja in Itself tome record and Connie is, therefore, still in the mfA making rcords. Our friends of the Interstate Commerce Commission are ; up against a tough nut when they tackle President Mil ton It. Smith, of the Louisville and fNashville Railroad. the political activities of which road are now subjects of ' investigation. The Louisville and Nashville for years has exerted a political influence, whi&Jjad to ba reckoned with, in the states traversed by MtTries, and the many efforts to break its hold have produced, some spectacular ilghta. One of the most interesting of which was that of the State of Alabama during thai administration" of Gov ernor Comer. The State finally won, but 1t,had to travel a rough road of injunctions and other obstacles before Ctar Smith was conquered. With alf his political activi ties his railroad is accredited as one of the ablest man aged in all the country, i , : . ;, , , , , , , FIFTY-SIX POUND HAM A LEN OIR PRODUCT. , Lanoir county should be proud that it has farmres who are raising and selling on the local market fifty-stx pound hams, such as was reported in yesterday's news columns of The Free Press, when Mr. Jerre Sutton of the Buckles berry section told a magnificent specimen of such pro portions In Kinston. The hog, from which the ham was taken, weighed five hundred and eighty-five pounds, and any county in tne stave, or any otner state, ior tnat mat ter, would be proud to produce such stock. Hug raising In Lenoir county is becoming more and mora the ."fashion." ,Tba progressive planters are learn ing that there is good money in hog raising, when good stock is used. . The raror-back scrub is not in favor any longer. The blooded pigs are rooting the "acorn chaser" out of the place that he used to occupy. The Free Press hopes to see the day in the not too distant future, when it will not be an uncommon sight for quantities of home raised and home-cured meats to be brought to, the local market and find here a ready sale. A little intelligent co operative effort will turn the trick. 'y 1 BUT THE COLONEL COULDN'T DELIVER. Colonel Roosevelt missed his guess when he concluded that he could deliver bag and baggage in toto his follow ers of the Progressive party to the etandpat brigade, which he deserted in 1912. .The conventions of the Repub licans and Progressive did all they could to effect a union. The delegates assembled at Chicago with the express pur pose of forming harmony coalition and after several days of parleying they failed to agree upon a compromise candidate, and Mr. Roosevelt was. nominated again to lead the Progressives. Their feelings were rudely shocked when he coolly declined the nomination. They were left adrift a party without a head. Mr. Roosevelt played a smooth game but he failed to deliver the goods. The Free Press predicted at the outset that a large number of those Who cast their ballots on the Progres sive national ticket in '1912, were the independent voters of the country, end that they would not in large num bers fall for such political tricks as the Colonel had tried to pull off. It has been apparent from the very outset that a great number of the Progressives would not fol low their leader in his retrograde action. They had the alternative of going back to party which they left, many of them at least, because that party did not repre sent modern thought and was not keeping step with the progress of the times; or on the other hand of casting their fortunes with the party, which has by actual accom plishments demonstrated that it is abreast of the times, and that it can cope with the changing panorama of world events and conditions. The declaration of Mr. Matthew Hale, Acting Chair man of the Progressive National Committee, endorsing President Wilson's administration and declining to sup port Mr. Hughes' party is but an evidence that such pre diction was well founded. Mr. Hughes' party has noth ing to offer the progressive and modern thought of the country. The Hughes party is carrying a millstone by its continued subservience to the will and dictates of that notorious coterie of stand-pat bosses. Mr. Hale's action in coming into the Democratic fold, is but one of the many that will follow. Mr. Wilson will share, we be lieve, most satisfactorily in the support of the erstwhile Moosera.' and winter." EVERLASTINGLY RIGHT. Clinton Democrat; "In his charge to the grand Jury on Monday Judjre Devtn said: The ideal of our civiliza tion is the home with a mother and father who low each other and rear their children to fear God and love heir country." He Is everlastingly riifht."

O.HYATT Kinston, N. C WHAT OTHERS SAY TOBACCO WILL SELL HIGH. , Winston-Salem Journal: "Unless all signs fail the price of leaf tobacco will be higher on the Winston-Salem mar ket, this year than it, has been M fifty years, not even ex cepting the record-breaking year of 1913. The Southern Tobacco Journal says;' 1' "Judging from the prices of tobacco on the opening sale in South Carolina, our prediction as to prices the coming season will come true. From all the information at hand prices were more than a hundred per cent, in ad vance of last season, on opening sales. An average of from thirteen to fifteen cents for first curings means, of course, a greater average for the remainder of the crop. We will not be surprised if prices for the entire crop in the United States do not approach the prices of .1913, when tobacco sold for a higher average than at did for fifty years, with the exception of one year. There is go ing to be a disposition on the part of farmers to rush their tobacco to market as rapidly as possible. The South Carolina crop will be practically all sold by Sep tember 1. In the meantime farmers should bo as care ful as possible in handling their tobacco, and market it in as good condition as possible. "Fortunate indeed will be the tobacco farmer who was ablo to conquer the drouth land wet weather and plant and cultivate a good crop. However, his arood fortune is riarte possible by the ill forune of hundreds of other farm ers who were unable to find plants to set in the spring, or having found the plants, later had their crops destroy ed by the flood. The short crop for which the drouth and flood are responsible is in a large measure, the cause of the prospects for high prices in this city next fall ANNUAL SUMMER EXCURSION TO BALTIMORE, MD, WASHINGTON, D.
