THREE BLOCKS OF 'KING COTTON' WAGONS When the Sales on Queen change, and the Busiest Carolina, Began Friday Bales of the Great Staple Were Assembled Along the Wav .Ahmit. $17,500 Worth At One Time Was the Unusual and Healthy Reality ' "Did you ever see the like?" "We ought to have a pic ture of this scene," How many bales do you reckon are on the street now?" were but some o the expressions which emphasized the interest in what was probably Kin ston's premier cotton-selling day Friday, when at the opening of the sales, the planters' wagons and carts, dou ble file and sometimes three-when the traffic officer was at the other end of the line stretched from a little south of Blount street to within speaking distance of Monu ment corner, on Kinston's busy thoroughfare, Queen, three blocks of the staple, .which is still, and always has been, "King"t in Dixie. By actual count, the number of bales just before the sales began Friday morning, waa 143; but the counting operation was like trying to figure out the exact number of chickens in a big brood. It is safe to say that thirty or forty more bales came while the reporter was making the thiee blocks, and the number at the opening of the market thus raised to between 175 and 180 close to $17,500 worth on the mar ket t one time. Not since Kinston graced the map has such a scene been Witnessed before, and its picturesqueness produced a general smile and audible amile of the kind tbat is not forced. Photographer Coble was busy before the "excitement" had been in the air very long and the pictures that he took will make good illustrations for some Kinston publicity of the right sort.

Vance C Mc- Cormick, chairman of the Democrat ic National Committee, announced late today that he had been served with a summons in a suit for $50,000 'brought against him by Jeremiah A. O'Leary, president of .the "American Truth 'Society." Mr. McCormick said he had not been apprised, however, of the charges upon which the suit was based. Mr. O'Leary, in a statement issued soon afterward stated that his purpose in instituting the, action was "to find out first, whether hyphenism, sooalled, is libellous; and, second, whether it is inconsistent with Ameri canism." Mr. O'Leary said he resented a statement attributed to Mr. McCor mick -criticising him for sending in "insulting messages" to Presdent Wilson. In that message, Mr. O' Leary criticised the President for "not enforcing American rights against Great E'ritain," and informed Mr. Wilson that he would vote for the re election of the President ' BOIL THE DISHES FOR ' PERFECT SANITATION New York, Oct. 6.

The cave man, the first tiny seed of civilization having been sown, learned to wish that his ragged little urchins might have a better rearing that he had, and so he gradually grasped one thing afur another and progressed through the ages to the point where centralization of power was a realized i.reessity. Then he ar.d hi feiU.w's h id a conference, and elected the stroiigi ,t among them to be king. The king died and another was elected, and another, and so on. But there came a time when a king about to die desired that his son succeed him, and the peopio submit ted. Kvle by inheritance became an established institution, and ruV -by the people passed out. And there came a time when a king tried to dictate to the people the manner in which, they should worship Gcd and there was a protest. That brought the speaker down to the Pilgrims who, the winds of God's love stilling the troubled waters before them, came to America, and on Plymouth Rock knelt and thanked the Gad of storms who had seen them safely hither, ar.d commenced the task of building an empire. Independence and constitutional government, the government of them selves by a peopla determined upon exercising the irights to parsuo hap piness, earn a living from under the laws of masters, and worship God or net worship Him as they saw fit, came to the new land. An ideal state oj affairs, purchased with blood, re fulted.
