The plea of the paroled felon, or the man who has serv ed his sentence, for another chance to make good is one that Is not given as much heed by society as It is en titled to. Too often Khe hard, thoughtless world prefers to permit the (tamp of "fallen" to be moro indelibly Im pressed upon tho unfortunate man or woman, who takes a misstep and pays tha penalty therefor. It is of com mon report that the man who has served a sentence in a . penal institution is continually hounded by petty officers BUYING "SIGHT UNSEEN" THE NECESSITIES. The high cost of living in Kinston is even more irk some because the mortals hereabouts have no assurance of what they are getting for their money. And they never will have until a city council, upon which the responsi bility for safeguarding the public health devolves, gets a proper conception of its duty and does it. A food inspec tor, wo will see to it that ordinary sanitary and cleanly methods are pursued in the preparation and marketing of tha products, sold here for human consumption, is one of the crying needs of Kinston. The lack of such an offi cial! is little short of disgracefull . . ." From a commercial viewpoint it is positively a hind rance to upbuilding of the place for men of worth, peek ing new locations for the rearing of their families will be loathe to come to any community, which has grown from the village class to the email cHy, but which has made absolutely no progress along health and sanitation lines, which are so necessary as the centers of population be- more congested, i Let's sec, If wa recall correctly, they have all been "officially apprized" jf thoir nomination now. I :' ' 1 COTTON EXCHANGE SHOULD BE MOVED. It is a welcome sight to see the great Southern staple, "King Cotton," making Hs season's appearance on the local mart. The sale of the fleecy at the prevailing prices means that more money is being paid to the farmers the very backbone of the country. And paid to them means local circulation. .The very large portion of the money going to the farmers for their products is con served to the district; it! goes into the cash drawers of the local merchants and in its local circulation lends the general community welfare and progress. The Free Press would not Bay a word that would in anv wav a ton the cotton raisers from eamlna to Kinstnn or make them feci anv the less welcome, but it would like to see the "exchange" transferred from Queen Street to one of the many well-paved side streets, where traffic congestion if not so liable as it is when the main thor oughfare la filled with wagon loads of cotton. The cot ton buyers have heretofore contended,, and they had something In their favor, that because Queen was the o:v ly paved street, the bad weather made it necessary for the sales to be negotiated there. Such is not the case now, , The market can be changed to any one of a dozen intersecting streets without detriment or inconvenience to the sellers or buyers ,but with great benefit and con venience to the general public Now at the very out set of. the season is the time to make the change. What mapped out requires nine months for !ine southward to his corner on the its completion. , Doubtless it would be lead ditch in the south prong . of possible to. revise the schedule ';' sol Panther Branch, thence up said ditch that eight and a half months would with R.

They are making no mistake in building good roads," physician," and the man, who errs and asks for another chance, should have it.' Thomas Stripling, former police officer of Danville, and recently pardoned from the Georgia prison, where ho was serving a sentence for a crime committed a score or more years ago, is reported to have moved to Richmond. He called upon the chief of police and fisked his assistance in locaUng a place, where he could make an honest living for himself and family. He ought to have, not only the assistance of the police, hut of everybody else in getting - a new start. It it unfair to assume that because ho has once fallen that he does not merit a second chance. Few there be of ua motrals here below, who could pass mus ter if the "one mistake" rule barred us, even though our offenses are not sufficient to put us behind the bars. The Free Press hopes that Mr. Stripling wH find an oppor tunity .tn Richmond to make good and that with the time lost by delaying the opening of the schools. "Is it absolutely necessary to finish a certain amount of work in a session ? , It seems that there is too much rush about the business. Many boys and girls, at sixteen and seventeen years old, have completed the course and grad uated from the high school. A year later would be abun dantly soon, V The school authorities, conscientious and earnest people, are endeavoring to do what they think best for the children. It does seem, though, that they are in too big a hurry. "It would be much better for the children and teachers if the schools did not reopen each yea until October 1st. September is often one of the most disagreeable months in the year, whereas, October is usually pleasant and healthful." "No doubt it would be easy to adjust matters so as to run the session from October 1st to June 15th. Much sickness is doubtless due to gathering the children to- chance he will prove to the world that ho was worthy ( gether in what is often a warm and unhealthy period, of it. , . "The point is made by the Instructors that the work put on too much a team and then the results are the reverse of good." , V VALUABLE FARM AT AUCTION. Mr. O' B.

A big free barbecue will be served on the grounds on the day of the sale, band concerts all du ring the sale and a big day for ev erybody.
