county by Abe Autumn of 1917, not only the cattle and
pastures, but the free range will be thus benefited and

:. This is an interesting announcement to all cattle rais-
era and those interested in the progress of the industry.
Lenow fortunately has already eradicated ticks and had
the quarantine lifted and our fanners are beginning to
realize the great advantage in raising stock, which are
not subject .to the ravages of the tick. The work in Pitt
county will be watched with interest, and we express the
hope that "all of the farmers of our, neighboring county
co-operate with the government agents in getting rid of
this pest. .

A wounded; officer of the noted

to the United '-Press today. The
words came between -big bites -of
white bread hud sandwich-like over
a heavy spread of real butter and
orange marmalade. The officer waa

Despite his wound and the fact that,

not conceal an air of "cockiness."
"Germany will win the wair," he
added, n his elow, careful English.

Of course, it was courteous of Mr. Hughes' campaign

rule. But we are glad that there are exceptions.
; -, last We forget; We want every man, woman and
.child within seventy-five miles of Kinston to arrange to
visit the metropolis of Lenoir one or evil of the four days
i beginning October 24 and ending the 27th. Tha occasion
will be the second annual exhibition of the great Klnston

and arrangements are being made for the entertainment
of no less than fifty thousand people during the four
days. The ahowa will be bigger and better than ever,

THE MEMORIES OF THE OLD HOME.
We note from the columns of the esteemed Winston
Salem Journal that Editor Santford Martin ia apending
hit annual vacation at the old home, and thai reminds
us that we, too, had trip like that once. We hope
Brother Martin will find .the setting of the old home as
he has pictured H in his mind's-eye eince leaving, and
that hisTdreama of the old fireside wilt nof be rudely
shaken as were ours. In our case the old home had
passed into the hands of Strang aire; the front (ate needed
' . a new hinge; the weeds were high in wat waa the beau
tiful lawn of the days of old; the steps to the front porch
were rickety; the paint waa failingfT in flakes; rags

for window panes; most of the aide oJLthe old barn had
been pulled down and used for kindling? There were no
familiar, facea. v , ,
, . After gazing upon these ruins our thoughts turned to
the old well, from which the "bat wattf on earth" used
to come,' and there we were doomed atill further dis
appointment, for the wellhouse 'showed vnry distinctly
the marks of time; the moaa-covered bucket was leaky
and the general surroundings, were forbidding in the
light of our modern knowledge of sanitation.
i Some of the neighboring homes,' where fond "recollec
tions took us back to the time as a barefoot boy we vis-
tted and enjoyed the hospitality of the good ld days,
had been turned over to tha bats and owls and we re
solved to blot out, so far a we could, the new impres
ions, go away never to return, and endeavor tb picture
again the memories of the old home as it used to be
ard not m we saw it on the return visit.
TICK ERADICATION IN PITT. - j
Elsewhero ki today's Prse Press will be found the no
tice of the effort at tick eradication in Pitt county now
being made by the United States Department of Agrlcul-
the exercise of proper care.
When the employes of the railroad who are entrusted
with the handling of freight, learn to properly respect
the "handle with care" signs; when they cease testing
out the strength of those packages marked "glass," when
they stop trying .to see how far their hooks will pene
trate packages expressly marked "Use no hooks" and oth
erwise use more common sense and precaution, not only
will-the unnecessary losa to the railroads be materially
lessoned, but the service to the public will be increas
ingly more satisfactory.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
. i
NOT TRIED, NOT CONVICTED, NOT PARDONED.
"Columbia State; "One of the canards circulated about
Governor Manning Is that he pardoned a bank clerk of
Sumter who defaulted. The facts 'are that the friends of
the clerk replaced the money and that the grand jury
found ho true bill against him. All of this took place
before Mr. Manning was inaugurated as Governor. The
damning charge, however, that an employe of The State
onco held an umbrella (if not parasol) over Mr. Man
ning," it seems, has substantial corroboration."

"Why-were you taken prisoner ?"
he was asked.
."The British had too much artil
lery for us," was the reply. "Their
fire was stronger than ours and we
were cut off. We had plenty of food
but no water. We had to surrender."
This officer spoke excellent Eng
lish. He . learned it in a German
school. - He was under thirty and a
perfect specimen of manhood. '
"How .long have you been at the
front?" he was asked.
"Twenty-two months," he replied,
with pride. ."I've been in Poland, Ga
licia, Champagne. Verdun and I at
Contalmaigon and Mametz wood. I
was captured at Mametz ivood.

cut off by the British artillery fire.

Discussion of the possible duration
cf tho war led the wounded German
'to a denunciation of the United
States. ,
. "You Amsricans are responsible
for the long war that Germany is
having," he said. "The war would
have been over in a year if you" Am
ericans had not sold munitions . to
England."
"But Germany might have bought
munitions from America as well as
England. Perhaps the British fleet
was partly to blame." , j
"Yes," was the response, ?"but we
blame the United States more."
Neither the Prussian officer iior his
comrades had heard about the ex

Dutschland. The details interested
them intensely. t ;

The lundersigned having qualified
as executors of the last will and tes
tament of W. W. Lawrence, deceased,

claims against the estate of said de.
ing for her. and fretting themselves sick for 'her, is the
human touch that brings the world to its knees, . The note
ia signed, by two other nestlings 'of the brood, which gives
sharpness to the poignancy nothing else could. It is
the votes of natwrs crying out to nature.
"Will the mother-heart, stored with the mother-love
that keeps the old world alive, hear, and, if hearing, an
swer? It would seem that the mother-heart that brought
life to such filial love would fly back to her nest, no mat-1
ter what the barriers.
"And, somewhere that the little birds of this home nest
know nothing of, is there a sad-faced and heavy-souled
mother suffering dagger thrusts in her heart because she
can hear those cries without ears, and see the tears on
the little faces without her eyes. No doubt. Storms do
not beat down, or uproot, or mortally maim the mother
love. It survives all injuries, resists, the shock of all
wounds! It is the deathless thing. She may harden her
self for a time to listen to those cries without seeming
to hear, and to blind herself to the sight of little hands
stretched out to her, and the saddened eyes, but it will be
only for time.;

childish faces ajainst hers, and her arms ache too
much to feel little bodies within them, to be resisted

type they need her and are worrying themselves sick for
her. She knows that" ' .
