- It is to be regretted that she Zaimis cabinet, which ha:;
successfully held Greece out of the maw of the tarreble
continent-wide war for so long, has at last had to yield
to the war advocates and resign. If Greece is to enter
tho conflict the sooner : the better, we' believe. Some
months ago we took the position that the sooner all the
countries, -which would eventually be involved, got into
the mixup, the sooner would the terrible carnage cease,
The gradual introduction of new blood, just as the forcer
already engaged become spent or wasted, is but to pro

THE ARMOR PLATE PLANT.
The location of the $11,000,000 Government armor plant i
is now being considered, and 125 or more cities, large
and small, ere clamoring for the plum. , Among these arc
several of our sister cities of North Carolina and our
good neighbor across tfne border,1 Richmond, is putting in
a strong bid. Irt fact Richmond has made a most sys
tematic and well planned fight,, and its brief presents
some very strong and forceful reasons for Its selection.
s If any of the North Carolina bids stand a chance to
be. considered seriously,. wwill undoubtedly give our sup-
oort. because wo are sectSonally loyal. But we don' 'be-1
lieve there is a ghost of chance for any of them.
Richmond secured one of the Federal Reserve Banks; so i
did Atlanta. Rwhrmmd is fighting for additional honors i
while wel believe Atlanta is giving its support to Bir
mingham's claim.
The Free Press believes that the question of the ac-
eessibilitv of raw materials is one of the most, if in
deed, it is not the most important phase to be considered.
As a gen
eral proposition this is an unfortun
te condition, It would be deplorable
specifically but for the fact that un
questionably Dorsey is well qualified
to foe Governs. He is an able, fear
less man. -Whether or not foe would
have been in the race for Governor
but for the prominence given him by
the Frank caae is questionable, but in
fustice to Mr; Doraey ft should be
borne in mind that while he prosecut
ed Frank he did so only as a sworn
officer "of the State of Georgia.' As
Solicitor he, was called upon to con
duct the prosecution. It was a duty
he owed society and had promised to
fulfill in his oath. Therefore, no
blame attaches to him in this respect
While he may have accepted, if "not
used, the Frank case as a means, of
helping him to be Governor, ns his
connection with . it was known
throughout Georgia, it would have in
deed, beon hard if, 4y reason of having
performed a duty, he was to bo de
prived of running for office." ,

The Better Babies Contest which is
to be held for three days during the
approaching county fair in October
will undoubtedly prove , one of the
most interesting features of that oc
casion. or two days, on the Z&th
and 26th, babies from one to three
years old will be received and exam
ined by experts at the Better Babies'
booth at tin' fair grounds, and on
Friday, the 27th, there will be , a
program consisting of music, a ster-
opticon lectuim rnd the awarding' of
medals and cs.-iScates to the babies.
These medals and certificates are
to be given by the Better Babies Bu
reau of ths Woman's Home-Compan
ion and the contest is to be conduct
ed along the lines laid down by the
Bureau,
? All mothers with foabies "of the
competing, age are urged to enter
them in this contest, Of course, all
mothers know their babies are pier-
feet, but if their babies happen not
to take a prize this year, the moth
ers will be given valuable informs-
tion as to how to proceed to make
them prize babies by next year, That
is primarily what the contest is for-
not to excite rivalry, but to train the
mothers and give them personal, ex
pert advice about their children
which will, indeed, lead to a "crop"
of better babies in the future.
(For information as to when ' and
how to enter 'babies in th contest,
mothers may writo to Mrs. E. G.
Barrett, superintendent, of the con
teat, or to Mrs. H. G. Braxton, pres
ident of the Mothers' Clubof Kins
ton, uncbr whose auspices this con
test is to be held. x
Entries in this contest will close
at noon on Saturday, October 21.

MAXWELL CARS AID TO
BILLY SUNDAY, SAYS
Billy Sunday, the baseball evange
list, realizes the value of the auto
mobile in conducting 'his . great re-
ligious (revivals throughout the coun
try. i During his Tccent campaign in
Kansas City, Mr. Sunday and his
aides use da fleet of Maxwell cars
in getting about tlie city. Billy Sun
day used a Maxwell Sedan constant
ly during his stay in the Missouri
city.
The evangelist was immensely
plcastd with the service rendered by
his car. In fact, he was so pleased,
that he wrote an appreciation to the
company. His letter follows: -, "
. "I wish H were; possible to have
everyone generally understand how
much-you have ' contributed to -' the
success of the campaign here in Kan
sas City. It would not have been
possible for me to speak' as many
times and at many places but for
the excellent automobile service you
furnished. ' '
"The cars have been dependable,
reliable and comfortable.; They have
always been in order, clean, attract
ive, and we have had no trouble or
delay at any time. I thank you most
heartily. " .
"I had no idea that a light, inex
pensive car could arouse sq much ad
miration as the Maxwell has done.
With (best wishes for your continued
success and with kind regards.
