MONDAYEVENING, NOVEMBER 20, 1916 , We apprehend that the survivors of the tug which was aunk in collision with the submarine Deutschland would almost be willing to acclaim that the ejcpt-rts, who ex ' srmined the merchantman have been wrong in reporting that it was unarmed. We notice a well-known health officer advises the peo ple of hla district to swat the fly now and prevent typhoid '(ever next summer. The doctor's advice is applicable hereabouts and l( heeded would unquestionably add much "to the pleasure, comfort and safety of living In Kinston. yj Our city authorities would do wdl to have teamsters, "who haul gravel through the streets, to chink the cracks nd thus relieve others who have occasion to use the Streets of the nuisance and incovenience of riding over m tot of rough gravel scattered from one side of the thoroughfare to the other. (Feature writers with the soldier boys In Texas have discovered that Klnston Is represented by tho "long and ' abort" of the physical specimens Ir the persons of Leo Kornegay, 6 ft. 6 In. and weighing 210 1-2 pounds and (Rodolph Nunn, 5 ft. 31-2 in. and weighing 111 pounds ; It will be good news to the friends and relatives of tho sfcoys to know that they are not only attracting atten 'tion because of their statures but because they are mak ing good as soldiers. DEMOCRACY'S OBLIGATION. Attention has been directed before In these columns to the deficit incurred by the National Democratic Com mittee in the re-election of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall. $300,000 more than was subscribed was expended. This money must be paid. It Is an obll ga;ion upon Democracy which cannot be ignored. Sec retary MacRae of the North Carolina committee suggests that: "In all probability it was this last .fJOO.OOO spent by the National Committee which assured Mr. Wilson's re-election." The Republican campaign was provided, as it has r-.l-ways been, with amplo funds. There was no lack of money and the Democratic committee had to take care of the doubtful precinct and naturally money had to be used for travelling and other necessary expenses for those who were called upon to uphold the standard of Democracy. In Ohio, for Instance, where the Democrats won such a signal victory, Mr. Hughes' committee ad mittedly spent over $300,000, In appealing for the help of the Democrats of No th Carolina, Secretary MacRaie says: "Will you not make this matter of Democratic credit the Iwsls of a request for a public subscrip tion, (1) from all Democrats who wanted to give to the original fund, but for any reason failed to do so; (2) from those who gave to the original fund, but who would be glad to give more liberally; and (3) from those who were liberal in the first instance, but who feel suf ficient joy over the victory to give more, in order to make a clear record, as well as a gloriousi one, for the Democratic party." The Free Press will be glad t receive and transmit any contributions which may be made by the Democrats of this section or such contributions may be made to the local finance committee composed of Messrs. N. J. R'ihsj, J. G. Dawson and Dr. J. M. Parrott. Let Lenoif d ih part! Storiea coming from Mexico indicate that the Villa 'outlaws are again carrying on their crusades of murder' , and pillage nd that ttielr dastardly work is being per ' icU-ated with as much ferociousness as ever. The re- newed activities of Vffla fridlcate very clearly the wis-1 doni of President Wilson and the army heads In insist- J ' tng upon keeping General Pershing's expedition on Mex ican soil. There Is little doubt but that conditions would have been as bad now as before American troops enter ed Mexico had there been ' withdrawal when Carransa insisted upon it. DENGEROUS CROSSING. The Free Press has heard mor Of less complaint about the grade crossing of the Atlantic Coast Line and the road leading from Klnston to Grifton and known a ' the Grlfton POad. Some accidents have occurred at thip crossing. Not long ago a wagon was struck and we arc Informed that there have been several near accidents re cently. One reputable citizen reports that it was only by whipping up his horse that he was able to clear the track before an oncoming train, which had been com pletely hidden from view by a string of box cars parked on tha siding and abutting the crossing. The citizen claims that no signal was sounded by the approaching train. None of the crossings In Klnston are being protected as they should be. Somo of them are provided with gates but they are operated irregularly and, as has be fore been pointed out, are perhaps more of a menace than they are of a safeguard, because it Is natural to suppose that seeing the gates passers will depend upon them for protection and not take precautions, which they would etherwie do if they felt that the full responsibility was upon them. It would be well for the railroad officials to take the Initiative and provide for the safety of the pub lic at the Grlfton crossing, and it would not be amiss for an Investigation to bo made and proper safeguards in sured at all the grade crossing in the city. There is no need to wait for some terrible accident to arouse the com munity. There have been enough of those in other locali ties. Why not profit by the experience of others? LAND SALE BY MORTGAGE.
