WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1910
Through carelessness, thoughtlessness' or indifference,
, many drivers of automobiles and other vehicles "disturb,
snore or less, tha services in the churches on Sunday morn
i lng by unnecessarily blowing their horns and fast driving
in front of the churches during; the progress of the ser
. vices. In a great many cities ft, haa betn found necessary
to provide ' traffic regulations requiring proper, respect
; for the church service by not permitting the blowing of
feorns in their vicinity or the rapid passage of heavy ve
hicles. It ought not to be necessary for any drastic steps
- to be taken in Kinston, but some relief should be afforded
for there, ia unnecessary annoyance from these sources.
The Free Press heart more or less complaint because
' electric light current fa not furnished regularly on Sun
days. It wna understood and an announcement to that
, effect waa made when tha Improvements were started at
the electric light plant, that in a short time it would be
possible to afford all-day electric service every day in
the week, barring emergencies, which might arise in the
best aqulpped plans. There haa been unusual delay in
v- the Installation of the new machinery, and The Free Press
has been Informed by the city authorities and those in
Immediate charge of the work at the power plant' that
uoh delay.has been unavoidable A great many people
require electric service on Sunday as well as during the
v week. During the excessively hot weather electric fans
' are almost essential for, comfort and The Free Press
K: ftels that e'verv effort should be exerted to afford this
service as ouickly as possible.,. , .

The representatives of the railroad Employes will find
ft: very quickly that public sentiment will not endorse them
in taking too arbitrary a stand in the matter of settling
their differences with 'their employers Give and take Is
a fundamental principle of success and getting along in
this ofd world, and no man nor set of men can arrogate
to themselves all the right. 'The workmen cant declare
a tfrike and tie tip the affairs of the country, if they will
to do to, but npTess they have public sentiment and eyra
pathyibn their side there is no hope for a successful tor
tnlnation of their contentions. jThere!s ' reason in all
things and the railroad men can ill afford to precipitate
business stagnation, which will mean 'countless loss to
an innocent and unoffending general public, simply be
cause they fail to win. every point, contended for.
KINSTON MUST BE. THE PAGEMAKER.
' Kinston ia the largest town in the East Carolina to
bacco belt, aave perhaps onejand its trade territory most
- assuredly is larger than that of its sister markets, Kin
eton is "the logical pace-setter for the bright leaf tobacco
belt. Mora of the weed should be sold in Kinston than
in any other market in this section of the State, and this
good year of 1910 affords a splendid opportunity for tak
ing such rank. Never before haa there been so much
rivalry" on the part of the warehousemen. The territory
" has been worked more carefully in advance of the open
ing than perhaps it hat ever been before. Twenty-five
to thirty million pounds should be told this season. That
' figure 'cannot be reached without a co-operative effort.
Not only should the, warehousemen exert themselves, but
everybody' elso in Kinston should render their influence
at every opportunity to the upbuilding of the market. '
Tuesdays sales were record-breakers, bringing the larg
est average prices, which have ever been known on the
local market. The indications are that if the average
for the1 season anything like approximates the opening
sales, between three and four million doHar will be paid
to tho farmers who sell on the Kinston market this year.
The greater part of this money will go into circulation
right here. . .' v ?,
Let all pull together, tobacconists, merchants, farmers,
to put Kinston in the lead this season.

RURAL PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE
OF THEIR PROSPERITY.
Governor Craig and members of the Relief Committee,
who are now making personal inspection of the devastated
flood section, report that not only have the accounts here
tofore coming from these stricken patrt not been over
drawn, but it is their opinion that could every North
Carolinian go and see for themselves the terrible work
of the flood, the contributions made to date would not be
gin to measure with what would be forthcoming as a re
sult of this first-hand view. Very naturally .the distress
call of the afflicted people is quickly forgotten by those
of us who are so fortunate as not to have felt the touch
of the calamity. It must be realized that the people of
the devastated sections are now but feeling the real hart
that has been imposed upon them. Their wante very
naturally will be keener,; the longer they stand without
being given relief.
Now that the tobacco season is open in this section and
the sales are producing unprecedented returns,' the good
people of the rural sections, who are blessed many fold
and who, to a more or less degree, owe tho splendid re
turns, that they are now enjoying from their labors, to
the curtailment of the crops in other sections,' should res
pond to the call of their destitute brothers of the West.
The subscription lists are still open. The rural people
of Lenoir and adjoining counties have not yet done their
part towards the relief of the sufferers. Let them in
their present prosperity not be unmindful of those, who
have been less fortunate-
illis in 1916. About' 13 or-14
ago the agitation or regulating the
age of children working in the mills
in this State begun 'and it resulted in
the enactment of a law that was sat
isfactory .for the time. ; Meantime, the
agitation ha jifvw abated and 'a sta
tirte has been pasesd, to tke effect
next January, fixing the minimum
age of workers at 14 years.
"However, when New England pa:
pers discuss child labor in the South
't is usually with a patronizing and
deprecating air as though the SouthJ
in this matter had been and remains
singularly benighted and inhuman,
"In Massachusetts the spinning of
cotton was an important industry at
least 45 or 60 years before it begaif
to enlist numbers of Deoule in the
South. Will, the Springfield Republi
can or the Boston Transcript tell us
how long cotton mills had been num
trous in their State before the regu
lation of child labor began 1 For all
we know, it was never permitted, .but
we should like to be informed whether
ri' not the South has by comparison
been uncommonly tardy in recogniz
lng the necessity of the reform.
PR
WHAT OTHERS SAY
A DANGEROUS FRIEND. .
Raleigh Times: "It is with a feeling akin to premoni
tion of evil that we read that Samuel Combers is opposed
to Hughes and in favor of Wilson, on the ground chiefly
that the Republican candidate concurred in the decision
of the Supreme Court holding the Danbury Hatters liable
in damages for a boycott. . ' ' f ' '"
"We have seen quite .enough! of Mr. Gompers in the
role of custodian of the. 'Labor Vote,1 and known quite
enough of the worthless character of his promises to de
liver it. We cannot fail 'to recall the year 1908, when
thh same loader first "visited ' the Republican and then
the Democratic convention in' the character of a peddler
of class suffrage.'. We carfrtot but remember that, hav
ing failed to conclude a bargain with Taft, he traded
easily and in full agreement with Brother Bryan. ''vAnd
we have a lively recollection of just how little that much
heralded trade ' amounted to. When the ballots were
counted." Mr. Gompers' vote was probably among those
marked for Mr. Bryan; but that he carried anybody with
him was not remotely evidenced by the returns.
"No candidate for President can prevent any man who
has a vote casting it in his favor, and as a general thing
no candidate should discourage anything in the nature of
a ballot As an individual, Mr. , Gompers support should
be welcomed by the Democrats; when he comes out with
a flourish to support the Democratic ticket as a leader
of labor capable of carrying labor votes with him, he be7
come , menace by reason of the insult he thereby puts
upon the men whose political independence he presumes
to appropriate. , .'
Neither' woman suffragists nor members of labor
unions can be voted as a class by anybody. The best evi
dence of political integrity in every class is that it will
not vote as a class that nobody can deliver it 'on the
hoof." '
