FINE 6RGANIZATION BOY SCOUTS.
Little has been said in the public press about the trocv
j of Boy Scouts organized 'in Klnston Several months ag
i fcy Mr. Alfred Cheney, and the average citizen may no
appreciate what splendid work rs being done among th
boy through this agency. In plto of tho fact that then
vre a number of (boys enrolled in the troop, (who have
not ' heretofore established reputations for being particu
larly good, the discipline and conduct of the scouts as i
" .whole baa been most encouraging to those who have hu
to do with its organization and direction. Scout Maste
; Cheney has developed an esprit de corps among the fel

NOW FOR GOOD ROADS.
The actlon'of the Chamber of Commerce in setting in
motion definite plans forcaltinjc an election f a bond
Issue sufficient to properly build an adequate system of
highways in Lenoir county is most gratifying. An en
abling act was pasttd by the Legislature sometime atlf,
making it possible for a bond issue not exceeding $250,
000 for this purpose to be voted by the pevple. Spasmo
dic attempts from time to time, .-ince the enabling act
was passed, have be?n ma le by the romm si'ners, wV,o
have fought shy of calling the election. There has born
a feeling that tho people of the c.ui 'v would vote down
the bonds.
The Free Press believes that it i cudent t every in
telligent man in the county that th.' peer.t plan of road
building will ncvor materialize irin ;i desirable system.
Certainly not in the lif.- of the pre .vit generation. An
adequate system, absolutely essential for the proper d
ekprnent of every sctmn of this splendid county, can
not be built unless a bond issue providing the money
'hercfor Is ipased. The Fit" P'-ess has confidence in the
'ntelligence of the people in this county to see that situ
ation and when given an opportunity The Free Presit be
ieves that the voters rvf I.onoir county will manifest their
ntelligence and progressiveness by voting for good roads.
Unquestionably every vi;t- that is cast against the bo'id
ssue will be but placing an obstacle in the way of the
nan, who so casts his vr.te as well as his neighbor. The
'alue of good roads In the upbuilding of any section of
he country is no longer in the theoretical stage. Conv;nc
ng evidenco lii abundance has been given, and wherever
he greatest development of rural communities has taken

er and consumer, farmer and market.
Ml 'ST MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT FORCE.
Thern is little doubt that the withdrawal of General
Pershing's expedition from Mexican soil will be con
trued by the ignorant followers of Villa and other ban
llts as a victory for their cause and outlawry will again
e frampant in the states adjacent to this country. The
rovislon of the protocol signed by the United States and
Mexican conferees at Atlantic City last week, giving the
Jnlted States troops privilege of following "hot trails"
ifter raiding bandits across the border, int any time
s a safety-valve, which should enable the army to give
iroper protection to everything on this side of the bordar.
rhe Free Press believes that it expresses the sentiment
f the people of this country in hoping that the War'De
artment will' maintain a sufficient force on the hou.nd
ry line to give adequate protection to every iri'iri. wom
in and child, who acknowledges allegiance to the "Staij
ind Stripes" and who rightfully, therefor1, lciks for pio
ection. Little sympathy have we had for those adven
urlnts, who persist in courting danger across the bord:r
n spite of the many warnings and evidences of unfripnd
iness of tho outlaws. .But those people who have acquir
ed property interests across the bordor and who did so
vefore the condition becamo as chaotic as It has been for
ho past four or five yoars are entitled to consideration,
it is natural that they should want protection for their
