WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18. 1916 Padoch, Kentucky, added to the list of victims done to death in Judge Lynch's tribunal Monday when two ne crroea were twang up and their bodies burned. One of the victims of the mob'a wrath was thought to have been guilty of a heinous crime and the other was guilty of condoning the offense, and sympathising with the brute The first, had hi guilt been provon in any court of law, would have Buffered the death penalty and, the second, looae-tongued and Irresponsible, as many of his race are, would have no doubt been adequately punished for his in discretion. The mob, however, didn't see It that way, but, as usual, took matters Into its own hands and brought ita State and community into disrepute and unenviable publicity, The good people of Paducah were not respon eible, howbelt they will have to suffer most. It was the earns old story, an irresponsible set of follows in ths mad 1 desire for revenge trampled the law under their f eot. ' t ,, i 'C,y- KINSTON IN THE LIMELIGIIT. . Several days ago when Col. S. Leard, General Pas onger Agent of the Norfolk Southern, and good friend of Kimrlon, was here to jnake final arrangements for han dling the crowds expected next week for th second an nual exhibit of the Kinton-Falr,.ha commented on the marked improyementa that were constantly taking place hereabouts and complimented verjr h'fthly the Kinston pirit. He had already been tq nsveral other fairs, large and, small, this year and remarked, that none of them would exceed Kington's undertaking. Said he, "You know, 1 havent Btopped talking about your first fair last year. It was a revelation to everybody whet attended it, and the KJnslon spirit which, pushed forward and accomplished ao successfully the big undertaking was truly remarkable and, commendable." Col. Leard added that this year's fair was bound to be big success, Suid he. "Your pres tige was established last year." Few Klnstonlans have really atdppod to analyze and appreciate what a splendid impression was created by the success of last year's fair and what an opportunity ; is given this year for still fuVther good work and none can appreciate as do the outsiders what the culmination of the community spirit has meant in the way of beneficial fibliclty for this section. Let every cithon hereabouts lend his unstinted co-operation to make of the four days next week all that it la possible to make of them. L?t the good people who come from Kinaton's trade 'territory retu-ti to their homes with the song on their lips. "(Jreat is Kinston" and The Ftvs Press will continue to help them t ?ll its story. MR. K1TCML"S ADDRESS. ' v .' That Congressman Claude Kitchin Jnade a good speech when he addressed the Kinston voters in the Courthouse Tuesday goes without saying. As one of the Republican leaders, present, remarked to a friend before the speak ing began: "lie always makes a good speech.'and I came because I like to hear a good speech whether I agree with the speaker or not", Evenr Democrat nresent agreed with what Mr. Kit- chin had to say Tuesday because his speech was but a re port of Democracy's service to the State and Nation and none, who heard him and who are fairly familiar with the records of the past four years in National politics and the past aixteen years in State affairs, could fail to endorse the splendid "records that have been made by De mocracy, unless they be those cf the opposing party whoa? minds were perforce closed by partisan politics and bias Mr. Kitchin sounded two notes which The Free Pres has repeatedly emphasized since the campaign opened. First, that there was no issue between the Democratic and Republican parties and that Mr. Hujrhes, in spit of his remarkable ability as speaker and leader, har" failed to find an issue on which his party could stand and become enthused. The second was his emphasis of th good fortune of this country in having Woodrow Wilsor in the White House to maintain peace when the balancr of the world was war mad. Mr. Kitchin correctly, we believe, attributed the pres crvation of peace in America, in spite of the many and grievous provocations to "fly off the handle" and seel- summary vengeance for trespassing on the right3 of thi country, to the able leadership and wisdom of the Chris- Man man, who sits in the White House. Unquestionably here have been times when men of less poise and far sightedness would have precipitated war and would hav probably had the endorsement of the people for so doing Yes! the endorsement of those same people who now looking back, can't help but see the wisdom that has beer Mr. Wilson's in guiding the destinies of this Nation, am' K. of preserving from the cruel cannon'a mouth every moth er's son among us. The maintenance of peace is the great issue in th. present campaign and it rises far above any partisan po- itical lines. It is an issue of ths people without regard o political affiliations. The American people are mak- ng the preservation of peace their issue, and they an allying to the colors of Woodrow Wilson asthe great apostle and exponent of peace. They are pinning their faith to him because he has demonstrated that he is able o withstand petty provocations and maintain peace and prosperity, and more will be added to his ranks as this good doctrine of pence on earth and good will to mer is translated to the rank and file of the voters in term? f Woodrow Wilson's conception of leadership. ITEMS OF INTEREST CONCERNING RURAL SCHOOLS OF COUNTY ,..!?.'ft'-,'fl..V1- WHAT OTHERS SAY NOTHING AUTHORITATIVE GIVEN OUT. Richmond Virginian: "Pending formal announcement from the authorities of , the Johns Hopkins Hospital, an nterested public will do well to avoid hasty conclusions front those 'it-is-understood' reports spread broadcast by one of the press bureaux. When the hospital ha3 its Te sults verified and established, it will promptly and con servatively state them to the country: meantim?, its path ologists can only be cmbarrassjd bv the hasty publica tion of half-Vuths. As far as we have been able to gather, the results at he Hopkins havo thus far carried the investigators only to a new field of inquiry. Following its usual rule, the ospital has had autopsies performed on as many as pos- ible of the victims of infantile paralysis. In every in stance marked disturbance of the lower intestine has been oted, along with the now-familiar lesions elsewhere. These findings naturally suggest infection by mouth in omewhat the same manneV as with typhoid fever. But hether the mouth-infection is due to food, drink, care less habits or insect carriers is yet to bo determined. Nor should too much importance be attached to the report that the disease has been produced in a rabbit at Johns Hop- ins. Rabbits have been shown by Frost and others to be susceptible to tbo disease under certain conditions, but they have shown such erratic symptoms and such vary- ng susceptibility that few have been willing to venture conclusions from the experiments with rabbits. Until it is known, therefore, how the rabbit was infected, and whether Frost's methods we're ment will be suspended." changed, scientific judg- : INM IM V, III M Hair Color Restorer ..Mr. - Rfwtur! th hnlr t nnv WSVMIMW t OUT. -toXSiSH.irReror "mill itm, ICol-inl. u - !Kii,",2 " finyrs Ha Tanic f fLlS-; ST,r;T'1- 'Ttvcnllw Hair, will, ,.m llmUllI 1 Ll!IPIi5 B iEartir, , Lenoir Drug Company TOBACCO FARMERS TAKE NOTICE There will be no tobacco sales on the Kinston Market, Tuesday, October 24th, account opening of the Kinston Fair.
