Twai a hard game to lose for the Dodgers' great hurl
undersea fighter,, which has come to this side of the At
lantic to send to the bottom some of the enemy ships
which are carrying large stores of munitions to the Al
lies and to terrorize all shipping in vessels of their eric
mies on this side of the ocean.
The London Daily Chronicle makes haste to predict
that there win be a row between the United States and
England because this country fails to recognize the sub
marine as a pirate and decline to accord its visits ths
usual courtesy and privilege of stay as prescribed by in
ternational law. Secretary Daniels is said to have noti
fied the President that the visit to Newport harbor Sat
urday afternoon was made with every observance of in-!
ternational law. President Wilson has quickly notified
the official representatives of Germany that no tolerance
of violation of international law, and of the assuranccj
given the United States, by Germany will be exercised.
Count Von Bernstorff, German ambassador, has mad 3
auick to respond that no such Intention was had by his
government.
What then has the United States to do more? Presi
dent Wilson will see to it that the lives of American and
other neutral subjects are not unnecessarily jeopardized
by this new peril to Germany's enemies, but theUnTted
States can go no further and lhas no desire to go further

There is but one thing for the United States to do in
this latest demonstration of Germany's prowess, and that
is to continue' its policy of neutrality preservation and
let England protest all she may be inclined to do. The
unreasonable protests and the arrogant method of inter
fering with neutral shipping on her side of the ocean,
has not gained anything for England, but has lost much
of the favorable public sentiment that was hers during
i the early stages of the fwar.

Threatening weather is discouraging to our Wayne
county neighbort, whose first fair is inaugurated today.
: Rocky Mount had one or two dsys of very disagreeable
, 'waather, for Itt fair last week, but we are Informed in
pita of that hindrance the undertaking was most suc
cessful, and the balance still hangs on the right side of
U?e ledger. We wish for our Goldsboro friends the same
success, irrespective of the weather. And may we ex
press again tha hop that Jupiter Pluvlut will absent him-

second Xinston Fair arrive Anf they are October 24 to

Voters of Lenoir and throughout this section are re
minded that it it necessary for them to see that they are
properly regiatered in order that there may be no possi
bility of their being disfranchised. The registration books
in Xinston will be open for the next three Saturdays, and
au voters who did not vote in the 1914 elections, and who
have moved their precincts since then, must register now
qualify at electors for the 'November elections. Those
registered in the spring for the primary and who
were not before qualified will not be eligible to vote un.
less they again register. Thit It a most important mat
ter.' Let every citizen see to it that he is properly qual
;;ifled to exercise his rights and perform his duty in the
matter of having a vole in the government.
CRAVEN'S GOOD ROADS.
New Bern Sun-Journal: "A few days ago a resident
of the western part of North Carolina said to us: 'Over
in our part of the world we have heard of the good roads
that are to be found jjn Craven county, and I came down
here to look them 'over . and to get -an. idea for some
road work in our county, and I must say that I was fa
vorably impressed by the excellent thoroughfares which
you have, and must compliment the citizens of this sec
tion upon their progress along this line.?
"Craven County's system of good roads are gaining
fame not only in North Carolina, but in all parts of the
country. A recent issue of the Manufacturers' Record,
one of the greatest commercial journals in the world,
commented favorably upon our progressiveness along this
line and predicted that this county would soon have about
the most perfect system of roads in the State.
"The people of Craven county long ago realized the
advantage of good roads and they do not hesitate to spend
money in building them. At the present time the convict
force is engaged in Improving the Central Highway in
the eastern part of the county, and work is about to begin
on the paving of four and a half miles of Trent road with
brick.
"When this particular work has been completed, other
Improvements wHl be made, and they will be carried on
until every strip of road in the county is put in the very
best possible condition."
