NOT SINCE CASWELL SAT IN GOVERNOR'S
CHAIR HAS SUCH ECENE BEEN WITNESSED.
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. '
ASKS FIFTY
MM) DAMAGES
FROM DEM. CHIH'N
iNew York, Oct. 5. 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 '

(By the United Press)
Berlin, Oct. 6. The government is
unimpressed, it is said, with the sug

submarine warfare, said a high offi
cial today. The Von Tirpitzites are
doomed to failure.
No changes of the personnel of the
government are imminent. Hollweig

Mr. Folk showed how democracy
tvas the first thing in government. Ho

God. 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,

the adoration -with . which Americans
regard it. , -' ? ,., .
