We move to make it unanimous the election of Wood row Wilson, champion of the people. The action of Sheriff Josiah Suggs of Greene in hurry - Jng a young negro out of the county on Sunday after . noon under escort of a strong guard to prevent summary violence being done to him is commendable. Sheriff Suggs ', did do more than his duty to take every precaution to - protect his prisoner, but he acted wisely in providing a -. sufficiently strong escort to guard and deliver the culprit to place of eafety. Too often officers take the chance of being overpowered by overwhelming numbers. Like wise is Sheriff Edwards of Wayne, to whom the negro was delivered, entitled to commendation for taking the J precaution to remove temptation and place the negro in ' the State prison for safe-keeping until a legal trial can be secured. , , : . -; THE UNITED CHARITIES. The idea of calling the good people of Kington together r in a onion meeting to provide' means for carrying on the Work of the United Charities during the cold season was . happily conceived and successfully carried out under the ; direction of the Klnston pastors in the Gordon Street Christian church Sunday night. Good feeling prevailed and without; argent appeal, other than a statement by those in charge of the work of caring for the destitute, : $600 in cash and pledges is in sight for the charity work this year. Rev, Mr, Craig, in his beautiful address, spoke of the responsibility resting upon those, who are more fortunate, v; to provide for those who, from various causes, were with out tiie means of livelihood. Mr. Craig emphasized par ticularly the importance of lifting those who were capa hi of eelf-aupport out of the dumps and out of the ad- verse circumstances into which they had drifted, that they might become useful citicens. Such work, he well v said, was equally as important as providing' for the actual necessities of the moment. ' Oapt. Vendeville, the new superintendent of the United Charities, made a suggestion which ha been made by The Free Press and others before, but which will always bear repeating and emphasising; that was that the habit 1 of giving to professional beggars, who go from house to j house or ply their trade on the streets, should be dis- ' couraged, and that auch applicants should be referred to v the United Charities, which has the machinery for mak- J ing proper investigation to ascertain the true needs of each and , every case. This suggestion in no way is in tended to cause deaf ear o be turned to the worthy, but it Is protective measure against professionals and impostors., There are cases of Restitution because of the illness of the bread-winner or other reverses, over which they have no control, which merit temporary relief. The United Chanties Is prepared to give auch relief and The Press hopes that the good people of Kinaton will make their contributions to charity through the organized agency and refer worthy cases and other applicants for i proper investigation to Supt. Vendeville. President Woo ten of the United Charit'es and Capt. Vendeville deserve the co-operation and support of every good citixen of Kinston, WELCOME, FAIR VISITORS. The Free Press is proud of the opportunity today ta welcome those who have corns to the opening of the sec ond annual exhibit of the Kinston Fair. The undertaking is a community enterprise with it orlme object the cultivation of community spirit and the broadening of acquaintances of the people in the ten counties round about for their mutual advantage and progress. Another purpose of the Fair is to create, by friendly rivalry, a greater interest in the possibilities of this section, and Sy the exhibit of product of the soil, ths live stock and handiwork and educational displays, it is purposed to stimulate growth in ths development of the latent opportunities and possibilities tof his region. The Free Press urges those who visit the Fair to study carefully the exhibits, that they may partake of ths full benefit and not simply be afforded a pastime for the time being. The Kinston Fair is bigger and better than it was last year. It reflects the splendid progress that has been made even in the short course of twelve months in this section. "Great is Kinston and The Free Press Tells Its Story!" 1 FOUR-TO-ONE" RATIO OF INCREASE. In 1898 on November 4, according to a copy of The Free Press recently "discovered" in the files of Mr. Charles F. Harvey, there were thirty bales of cotton sold on the Kin ston exchange and the spot market was 4.60. Monday, October 23, 1916, about one hundred bales were sold and the price was from 18.40 to 18.55. In 1898 William Mc- Kinley, Republican, was President of the United States. In 1916 Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, is President of the United States. In 1898 the price paid for cotton was not sufficient to warrant the farmers to bring it to town. In 1916 the price is such that will make the Southern cot ton farmer the most independent person in the world. The price in 1916 is four times what it was in 1898. Another campaign slogan of the stand-patters is ex ploded. There was a time when it was said that cotton, like everything else, went to pieces under Democratic ad ministration. That period was imaginary, but there is not even enough foundation now for the most active im agination to play upon. "Four-to-one" is the Democratic slogan for the South ern cotton planter, and "four-to-one" will take care of all the "temporary prosperity" allegation of Mr. Hughes et al. When You Follow The The reports from everywhere indicate that Mr. Wilson has a strong lead. His supporters must not rest on their oars, however. The coasting period will not arrive until after November 7. WHAT OTHERS SAY A POLITICAL NIGHTMARE. Raleigh Times: "The idea that the movement of negroes from the South is a scheme for the founding of colonies of floating voters is a political nightmare. The price of votes has not yet advanced to 'the point where it can in clude transportation and employment for weeks at a time." THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. Wilmington Dispatch: "In marked contrast to the man ner in which Roosevelt and Taft met at the Union Club, in New York, and shook hands was the meeting yester day between Wilson and Bryan. The latter pair also parted company, but neither lost his reason to such an ex tent as to 'cuss out' the other. And b it said to the credit of Mr. Bryan that he did not become so incensed with the President that he attempted to traduce his char acter, his ability and his work. "So when Mr. Bryan stands up today and advocates ths re-eloction of Woodrow Wilson he not only is thor oughly within rights of consistency, but he provides fin? evidence as to why Wilson should be re-eleotej. Mr. Roosevelt's advocacy in behalf of Mr. Hughes presents one of two things. Either that Mr. Roosevelt is volun tarily eating crow or he has made an unholy alliance with 'the Republican 'Old Guard,' with Mr. Hughes as the Medium. We suspect that it is the tetter, as Mr. Raose- velt is out for what he can get." II II w I SI It. Trail 5 1L- mm d M I I I L " & ( Th. Ga Flora. T.llJX AjTfy I 1 why Col Mot EMjTv.v J ijj.
