Wt move to make it unanimous the election of Wood
row Wilson, champion of the people,
- The action of Sheriff Joniah Suggs of Greene in hurry-
' ing a young negro out f the county on Sunday after
noon undo escort of a strong" guard to prevent summary
violence being done to him is commendable. Sheriff Suggs
did no more than his duty to tales every precaution to
protect his prisoner, but he acted wisely in providing a
sufficiently strong eecort to guard and deliver the culprit
to place of safety.' 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
' precaution to remove temptation and place the negro in
the Stat prison for safe-keeping until a legal trial can
je secured.
THE UNITED CHARITIES.
The idea of calling th good people of Kinston together
in a union 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 Kinston pastors in the Cordon Street
Christian church Sunday night. Good feeling prevailed
and without urgent appeal, other than a statement by
those in charge of the work of caring for the destitute,
$500 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,
to provide for those who, from various causing were with
out the means of livelihood. Mr. Craig emphasized par
ticularly the importance of lifting those, who were capa
ble of self-support out of the dumps and out of the ad-
verse circumstances into which they had drifted, that
. they might become useful citizens. Such work, he well
said, was equally as Important as providing for the actual
necessities of the moment
WELCOME, FAIR VISITORS.
The Free Press is proud of the opportunity today ta
wcomsTthose'who lvecome"totheJopening of the sec
ond annual exhibit of the Kinston Fair.
Ths undertaking is a community enterprise with iu
crime object the cultivation of community spirit and the
broadening of aoquaintaincos of the people in the ten
counties round about for their mutual advantage and
progress. Another purpose of ths Fair is to create, by
friendly rivalry, a greater interest in the possibilities of
this section, and Sy the exhibit of products of the soil,
the live stock and handiwork and educational displays,
it is purposed to stimulate growth in the 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 tha 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!"
"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. llaghes
et al.

has a strong lead. His supporters must not rest on
their oars, however. The coasting period will not arrive

credit of Mr. Bryan that he did not become so incensed
with the President that he attempted to traduce his char

"So when Mr. Bryan stands up today and advocates
the re-election of Woodrow Wilson he not only is thor
oughly within rijrhts of consistency, but he provides fine
evidence as to why Wilson should be re-elected. Mr.
Roosevelt's advocacy in behalf of Mr. Hughes presents
one of two things. Either that Mr. Roosevelt is volun

United Chanties is prepared to give such relief and The
Free Press hopes that the good people of Kinston will
