WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1916 The wheat crop is now estimated more than three mil. lion bushels abort of the September estimate and th season's production will be only about sixty per cent, of last year's record-breaking crop. Corn shows an in crease over the September estimate of more thar eight million bushels, but there is still a shortage in thr season's estimate as compared with the 1915 crop of thre million bushels. With these material reductions in the principal food crops there is, of course, no hope for any better reta;1 will not be allowed to settle in the North in large numbers. On account of a temporary scarcity of labor, due to the European war, some Northern employers are employing Southern negroes but, annoying as it Is, no con siderable or permanent movement of the negroes is indicated by it. "At the same time, if the white South really wants the negroe3. the thing to do is to cause the negroes to want to stay in the South. If the North persists in its industrial boy cott of negroes it may be possible to keep them in the Scuth and force them to be bondmen but if ihs North would have the negroes, t'i? only way to keep thorn in the South is to ac cord to them the rights cf freemen under the law. "If there be any truth in the con ventional charge of some of the SIip'?a few Prince Albert smokes into your system! Well, the right. old Athletic "discard" turned the trick all tion of it is that the industrial North closes itself against the reception of negroes."

Th? improvident will unquestionably be made to feel this shortage, and there is need now for emphasis to be laid upon conservation. There are few families in Kinston o elsewhere that are not guilty of more or less waste and lack of appreciation of the necessity for conserving food supplies. In this age, when conservation of natural re sources and of manhood and womanhood is urged and agitated on all sides, it would be well for the principle of conservation to be applied in the pantries and kitchen? of our homes. Conservation in the homes would br(n? as no other method could, a lessening of the hardship: arising from a shortage of supplies. PINK HILL SCHOOL ABOUT COMPLETED All voters in this section should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the issues of the campaign, both State and National, discussed at the Courthouse tonight by Judge ). S. Manning and Hon. W. E. Brock. Judgs Manning need tittle Introduction to the people here or elsewhere in the State. As is well known he was form erly on the State Supreme,.Qpurt bench and is now the Democratic nominee for Attorney. G-uneial. He is a most forceful and impressive speaker. Mr. Brock is likewise reputed to be; a campaigner worth hearing The Free Press agrees with the esteemed Stateavillc Landmark in taking issue with the Honorable A. W. Mc Lean of Robeson county, in his estimate of the probablr loss to the farmers of that county because of a shortage in the cotton crop. Mr. McLean thinks that because there was only, according to his estimate, about sixty per cent, of the normal crop produced this year that the farmers are losing about three million dollars. The Land mark takes the sensible view that had there been a nor mal crop in Robeson the same would havo moat likel.v been the cae everywhere else, and consequently the price of cotton today would have been around ten an eleven cents, instead of close to seventeen. Mr. Mc Lean's doctrine is antithetical to the "preachment" fo: diversification and decreased acreage which has proven of such vast benefit in boosting the price of the great Southern staple di-ring the past two' seasons. WHAT OTHERS SAY AN EAGERNESS FOR PEACE. Whether any of the belligerent! admit it not, ' nd whether they really desire a cessation hostilities, there Is a growing.esntiment throughout the world for peace! The neutral and nmveombatant people everywhere are evincing an eager desire for the re-ostab-liahment of friendly relations between the great powers ; of Europe, whose belligerency is upsetting and demoral ising the affairs of all other nations to a more or less de- There is an air of expectancy and "tip-toe" interest in evidence whenever and wherever the subject of peace is broached, and there la rumor that peace overtures are being suggested. Ambassador Gerard, who is just re turning from his post at Berlin, allegedly for a much needed rest, was met at the pier in New York and lam basted with th question, "Do you bring peace proposals from the Kaiser?" and even before his arrival newspaper reports were abroad, claiming to originate from authentic ouree, that Mr. Gerard's visit was for the purpose of bringing a request from the German Government that the United States intercede for peace. - Whether thatjs the case or not, and in spite of Eng land' avowal that war will be pursued indefinitely until the purpose of the Allies has been accomplished, there is NAMING BATTLE CRUISERS. ' Norfolk Ledger Dispatch: "lae American Defense So ciety has requested Secretary ' of the Navy Daniels to se lect names for the great battle cruisers which are to be built from among the following: "Alliance, Intrepid, Constitution, Constellation, United States, Congress, Bon Homme Richard, Independence, Es sex and Chesapeake. "No doubt we're too modern for these, but some of the names recall deeds of heroism unrivalled in the his tory of the world. The memory of John Paul Jones and of other immortal scafighters is vividly recalled and the days when vessels, though of wood, fought at arm's length or lashed together." "AS TO NEGRO MIGRATION." Columbia State: "The surest way to prevent the migra-1 tion of Southern negroes Is to treat them fairly, pay them what their labor is worth and see that they enjoy the rights to which they are entitled. "This being the practice of employers, the loss of negro labor by the South will be of negligible importance. A few may leave but they will come back.

The work has been retarded by the scarcity of labor, but the contractor will be able to turn it over to the whocl board this week. The school nlant, when completed, will be worth about $10,000. The State Inspector af High Schools spoKe of it in very omplimentary terms, and readily granted State aid to make the school i State hifih school. , The school term has been in prog ress for nearly four weeks. The at tendance vs highly satisfactory to he officials. A number of boarding students have registered in the school and others are expected later. The attendance will be about double that t any previous year, owing to the establishment of the State hifrb school. The pupils of the higher grades have organized an athletic associa- ion and a literary society. The ath- tic association has purchased a basketball, and bothj girls' and boys' teams are now in training. The lit- rary society voted to give at least two dramatic performances during the year and to put, out a debating team. The students show a keen in terest in all phases of high school ac tivities. ' " On Friday night, October 6, the Betterment Association of Pink Hill gave a box supper and a "clipping" party in the auditorium of the new school building. Miss 'Carrie Stroud won first prize as prettiest girl and Prof. tJ. ti. llower won nrst prize as the ugliest man in the crowd. Ev erybody reported a pleasant time, and the sum of $41.50 was cleared.
