SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1916 Wonder if Friend Sam' Farabee of tlte Hickory Record had eny communications from the disputants in thf Bond-Clarke controversy before he changed hir way of thinking? ' ' ' TVre is no better evidence of weakness of a cause than when its advocates feel the necessity of decrying every thing end everybody connected with their competitors end there Is nothing which indicates more forcefully the weakness of the candidacy of Mr, Ilughos than his ut terances of criticism end invective launched at the Dem ocratic administration. A bit of enterprise was that exhibited by the Bakers ville Banner when, as a result of the flood In -the, western part of .the State it was cut off from the outside world V ami its ews print paper supply was exhausted, it issued a oncs-pajre', extra on a sheet twelve by nlns. The mlnia- ture copy carried a comprehensive storyjof the devasta tion brought by the flood. ; . Friond Martin, of , the Winston-Salem Journal, has a very interesting andabl9 article with refcronce to Judge Hughes' candidacy for the Presidency. , The caption of the article In "Mr. Hughes' E'lggeat Mistake." If it is not out of order, we would like to suggest that the head be kept standing, fur the indications are there will be frequent opportunities for its use during the campaign. Incidentally, it appears to be a little soon in the game to think that the superlative degree, In erring has already been reached by the former Justice. With the prospects of tobacco selling at . record-breaking prices and of cotton bringing a high figure, .the farm ers will probably be envied by those of their city broth ers, who ans facing the increased cost of living without which have not experienced damage, to a more or. less degree, from floods and excessive rvni ihis year, and fortunate are those sections which have escaped.- DULL SEASON AT AN END. j - ' That annual period of business depression, caused from imaginary more than real conditions, is happily coming t an end in these parts, for next Tuesday the 1916-17 season of the East Carolina tobacco market opens. Tin outlook is unusually good. The prospectiveshortags cf crops, due to the damage of excessive rains, gives prom ise of prices most satisfactory, The tobacco farmers wi!! come to town and put most of the money, if not all, which they receive from the sales, into circulation, paying ob ligations that have accrued daring the year, and this, ir turn, will be paid to others, and thus the good work wilt go on. .'',-' ,',.'' ':"' The majority of ths people in Kinston will not partici pate directly, but all, to a more or less degree, will ge, some direct benefit.! Whether much money is actual!? turned loose Jor not, that psychological equation 'twix' prosperity and depression will swing to the former aw1 the death knell of the 1916 dull season will have beer sounded. .' Hail to the coming of the carts and wagons of the good substantial folk, who will bring the products of thei toil to Kinston this yearl Their Initial appearance each season is always anticipated with pleasune and their sue-' cessive trips are likewise welcome. WHAT OTHERS SAY WAR'S INFLUENCE ON PROSPERITY? Wilmington Star: "Now ithat cotton is selling at 13 l-4c a pound, Republicans will tell you that Wilson had noth ing to do with it, that the war in Europe is solely res ponsible. Less than two years ago when cotton Was bring ing only half the present pries, the same Republicans said the war in Europe had nothing to do with it that Wil son was solely responsible. That is only a typical exam ple of the logic and Teasonableness of the average Repub lican argument, and yet they seem to believe the avaragi voter is fool enough to be influenced by, what th?y say. WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP? Winston-Salem Journal: "Information that has come to hand concerning the remarkably successful summer re- sorts in the, mountains of New York State more than ever confirms The Journal in its opinion, expressed several days ago, that every dollar of the Federal appropriation nf more than $500,000 for the relief of flood sufferers should be spent in repairing roads and bridges damaged by high water, This is especially true of North Carolina's share of the Federal fund. Every flood-swent mountain ounty of this State should be given portion of this fund to aid in rebuilding roads that have been destroyed or wdly damaged, and for no other purpose, "Reports from the summer resorts in the mountains af New York say that automobile parties are there now from almost every State north' of Florida and east of Chicago. ? Yet those who have visited both sections ere quick to declare that the natural advantages for summer esorts are much better in the mountains of "Western North Carolina than in the mountains of New York State. While In New York there are sections that are naturally beautiful and attractive with their combination of lakes, rivers, mountains and mountain streams, yet Nature has b?n greatly aided by good roads and concrete or iron J bridges. There are good roads everywhere in the New ...

It warms and soothes the sore, stiff painful places and you feel so much better. Buy it at any drug store, only 25 cents. adv. "Saturday Evening, August 12, 1S3 VOX POFULI '" Kinston, N. C., Aug. J2, 1916 "Mr. Editor, "I notice in last evenings paper, editoriallq, you say in commenting on Mr.. Roosevelt's Inability ; to deliver the Progressives over to tho Republi can Party, Mr. Hughes party has nothing to offer the progressives and modern thought of the countryl The Hughes party is carrying a millstone by its continued subservience to the will and dictates of that notorious coterie of stand-pat bosses.' All of which I have no disposition to dispute, I fear it is only too true. Is it not a -fact that Mr. Wilson's party round about us is in very much the earns condition ? It's possible I think some evidence might be produced to sub-' stantiate that fact Is it not also the history of parties when long contin-' ucd in pow?r, to become corrupt and boss ridden?

In fact, therp e few States in the Southeast done far more than Natuu to attract tourists to that sec tion of the country.

V "No one ever goas from this section to the New York summer resorts without coming back home more than ever impressed with the absolute necessity of building and maintaining good roads. " There is no good reason why all Western North Carolina should not be full of tourists today. And once we have good roads and know how to maintain them there no question but that tour ists will flock to this State 1 in much larger number than than they are now flocking to New York.
