I FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1916
The News and Observer is urging the young men to
become Democrats, saying among other things that De
mooracy W good for young men. Haj pily the great ma
jority of the young men of the SouLh are born Demo
crats. Yes, Democracy is good for young men. It's good
for old men. In fact, it's good from the cradle to the
''grave.

; If you haven't purchased a season ticket for the Ly
ceum course, and are not inclined to do so at the pres
ent time, your presence on a single admission ticket at
the First Baptist church tonight to hear the initial pro
gram in the aeries of five entertainments, ill give you
a opportunity for an evening of uplifting and whole
some amusement And enable you to participate in a wor
thy cause, the enlargement of the fund for a public play
ground for Kinston.
The tobacco market and the banks in Kinston have
already announced their Intention to observe a holiday
on next Tuesday, the opening day of the second annual
Kinston Fair. What about the business houses? The
day ought, to fee made a general half holiday at least
Every store in Kinston might close at one o'clock and
give their clerks and proprietors, as well, an opportunity
to help the management give the 1916 fair a great send
off. What say the merchants? ,4 v
Mr, Kltchin remarked in his address Tuesday that he
would like to convert the Republicans in his audience al
though he did ndV expect them" to make any confession.
If the State Democratic Committee continues to send
their "big guns' to Lenoir to tell of the great "record of
Democracy, and the Republican friends continue to And
seats in the audience, we don't see how they are going to
keep from becoming converted, for the truth is bound to
prevail sooner or later.
The announcement of Democratic Chairman Cowper
that Senator Simmons is scheduled for an address before
the voters In Lenoircounty about November 1st, at which
time a great county rally is planned to be held at La
Grange, is of particular interest. It is not usual that
district which is not considered in the doubtful column
has the privilege of hearing in the same campaign the
leaders of both branches of the National Congress, and
Lenoir is indeed fortunate in having heard House Leader
Kitchln and in the promise of Senator Simmons' engagement.
THE HUGHES CAMPAIGN WATER-LOGGED.
; There is every evidence that the Hughes campaign has
become water-logged. At least, the weather vanea of
the political atmosphere see nothing but a falling off day
by day of the followers of the ex-jurist.
There is nothing mysterious or puzzling about the alt-
nation. Mr. Hughes' campaign has not had since its
inception a single sound, prop. It has been an aimless,
reckless groping in the dark for an issue without suc
cess. The New York World sizes the situation up when
it attributes the decline and t.-osDective fall of the
Hughes candidacy to its lack of the "one element with
out which no candidacy .has a right to succeed the elo
ment of good faith." Mr. Hughes has not toted fair
wkh the American people. At the time whsn he was held j
in high esteem by all the people as a member of the
United Stales Supreme Count, and when to all outward
appearances he was giving his undivided attention to the
important matters coming before that great tribunal, he
was "gumshoeing" a campaign for the Republican presi
dential nomination. Being successful in that effort and
becoming the standard bearer of the Republican party
he has failed still to come out in the open and let the
people, whose support he is asking, know where h?
stands. Instead of devising and presenting for the en
dorsement of the American people a constructive pro-

How to Vote
and Who F'dr
Democratic County Chairman G.
V. Cowper suggests that voters of
the - party familiarize themselves
with the ticket during the days be
tween now and election . Incrdental
'y. eve.-y 'Democrat should see that
ie is properly registered.
- On the National, Congressional and j
State tickets are one large circle and 1
1 square opposite- the name of every
lominee. A votfr wwhin-r to put in
icket "straight" is directed to make
in "X" in the circle. If the straight
icket is not voted he is instructed
0 make an "X" in the square oppo
ite the name of ach of the candi
latoa for whom he votes. The tick
U, four in number, to-tal nearly 30
nchts in length.
Following are the principal candi-
gram in keeping with the times, his attention has beer Mates:
given entirely to tearing-down tactics. One by one he
has tackled the gieat pieces of constructive legislation en
acted by the Democratic Congress under the leadership
of President Wilson and in every case he has discoverer
that the dirt under his feet was loose. Not content with
the tactics of invective and vilification, Mr. Hughes' party
stooping to circulate charges and rumors which havi-
no. foundation, but by which it is hoped to disparage the
Wilson ednrinstration in the minds of the people.
Surely, it begins to look like the Hughesites are fall
ing back on the last resorts to stem tne ireceoing tiue.
The difference between the violation of Belgium's neu
trality and Greece's neutrality is largely a matter of
"whose ox is gored." In" the former instance, Belgium
resented the violation of its rights by the Germans and
as a consequence was run rough-shod over; but not until
it had made a stand sufficiently lengthy to enabls the Al
lies to so prepare as to prevent a speedy culmination of
the conflict by the overrunning of France as well. In
the latter case the Allies have calmly taken possession
without any regard, seemingly whatsoever, for the neu
trality of Greece, and because of a division of sentiment
among the people of Greece there has been no an-med re
sistance to the encroachment of the Allies' forces. Can-
Istency, thou art a jewel. The pro-Ally adherents can't.
with any degree of sincerity longer criticise the German
action in the case of Belgium.

GETTING A FAIR CHANCE IN LIFE.
Durham Sun: "The world owes me a living!" How
often the maker of that remark is a lazy, good-for-noth

ever of the value or joy of good, hard work.
"But don't condemn him yet!
"The world did owe him a proper start. Did he get it?
"Perhaps he did but more likely he didn't.
"The man who has a proper start physically, mental
ly, morally doesn't often degenerate into the worthies?
street-corner whiner who declaims, 'The world owes me
living!
Every child, boy or girl, rich or poor, jlack or red j
or white, is entitled to pure food, clean clothes, fresh air,
sound sleep; to instruction that will equip him to collect
is living and a little joy besides; and to knowledge of
the difference between right and wrong.
"Don't be too hard on the man who belkves the world
owes him a living. It doesn't, of course but perhaps il
owa him other things."
SUGGESTS FERRY SERVICE.
'Mr. Editor: -
"The City of Kinston has expended
leveral hundred thousand dollars, in
itreet paving and sidewalk building
luring the last eighteen months. It
?:ems like it should have been a fin
Tshed job. As I write, the water for
'ack of sewerage connection, stands
'wo feet or more deep at the intersec
Won of Graingw Avenue and Me-
Lewean streets. At least three
blocks of paving are under water,
which reaches nearly to the doorstep
of many cf the houses. The refuse
of the street from several blocks
comes in from different directions,
and when the water seeps away, it is
left to dry upon thq street, and send
up its deadly fumes, and yet we talk
about sanitation. This condition has
existed the whole summer. First, we
waded in mud. Now, if we want to
cross the street we wade in water.
We are entitled to go across dry, and
if the Board of Aldermgn intend al
lowing this condition to exist, they
ought to furnish us a ferry.

72-Lear-Old Farmer Gained 5 Pounds

"Before' the first bottle was finish
ed I was up and around and h angry
for the first time in ten years." said
James R. Prince, well known farmer
of Route 2, Cary, near Raleigh, to
the Tanlac Man. "I have taken four
bcttles of Tanlac so far and feel like
a young man again, even though I
am 72 years old. I can eat anything
I want and don't suffer. My nerves
are steady and I am able to work
alright now. I have gained five
pounds and am glad to tell others
what Tanlac has done for me.
"Since ten years ago I grew worse
and worss from indigestion, stomach
troubles and rheumatism. It was for
me to live the nest I could on milk
and eggs and even these caused, gas
to form in my stomach. Neighbors
told ma about Tanlac after doctors
failed to help me, and I tried it. '. I'm
thankful to say." - i
