FINE ORGANIZATION BOY SCOUTS.
Little has ibeen said in the public press about the troop
' of Boy Scouts organized an Kinston several months Kits
by Mr. Alfred Cheney, and the average citizen may not
appreciate what splendid work Is being done among the
toys through this agency. In spite of the fact that then
are e, number of boys enrolled in the troop, iwho have
not heretofore established reputations for being particu
larly good, the discipline and conduct of the scouts as a
(whole has been most encouraging to those who have had
to do with its organization and direction. Scout Master
Cheney has developed an esprit de corps among the fel
lows tof Ihe troop which Is most gratifying, and It ha
already been demonstrated that the local organization
Is going to keep step with the fraternity of the country-
at-large in developing a manly, high-principled set of
boys of whom the parents, friends and all others, who
have occasion to come In contact wlLh thorn, can be
proud. ' 'iX''lr
The Free Press is glad that public expressions have
been largely withheld untt this tipie, for In the outset
, Jt would have feesn necessary to have commended tho
prospects rather than the achievement, as Is now possi
ble, Scout Master Cheney and the boys In the troop de-
.aerVe credit for the splendid progress that they have mud
tlujfing the short time that they have been together in
their organization, and The Free Press Is glad to lw-
( speak for them a word of encoutragement from tho peo
ple of Kinston In their good work.

NOW FOR GOOD ROADS. f
The action of the Chamber of Commerce in setting In
motion definite plans for calling an election fat" a bond
Issue sufficient to properly build an adequate system of
highways In Lenoir county in most gratifying. An en
abling act was passed by the Legislature sometime u0.
making It possible for a bond issue not exceeding $2f0,
000 for this purpose to be voted by the ptf-ple. Spasmo
dic attempts from time to time, since the enabling act
was paased, have besn made by the commissioners, who
have fought shy of calling the election. There has born
a feeling that the people of the county would vote down
the bonds. .
The Free Press believes that it is evident to every in
telligent man in the county that the present plan of road
building will never materialize Into a desirable system.
Certainly not in the life of the present generation. An
adequate nystem, absolutely essential for the proper dn
elopment of every section of this splendid county, can
not be built unless a bond issue providing the nMMioy
therefor is passed. The Free Press hus confidence in tho
'ntelligenco of the people In this county to see that situ
ation and when given an opportunity The Free Press be
lieves that the voters 'of Lenoir county will manifest thei.
;ntolllgence and progressiveness by voting for g&od roads.
UnqueHtlonablyPvery vote that is cast against the bond
ssue 'Will' be but placing an obstacle in the way of the
nan, who so cast his vxe as well as his neighbor. The
aluc of good roads in the upbuilding of any section of
'he country Is no longer in the theoretical stage. Convin:--'ng
evidence In abundance has been given, and wherever
'he greateat development of rural communities has taken
place thnre will bo found the be-st system of roads con
necting produce and consumer, farmer and market.
MUST MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT FORCE.
There is little doubt that the withdrawal of General
Pershing's expedition from Mexican ; soil will be con
utrued by the ignorant followers of Villa and other ban
llts as a victory for their cause and outlawry will again
be irampant In the states adjacent to this country. The
provision 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"
after raiding bandits across the border, at any time,
s a safety-valve, which should enable the army to give
troper protection to everything on this side of the bordur.
"he Free Press believes that it expresses the sentiment
f the people of this country In hoping that the War De
partment wilt maintain a sufficient force on the bound
vry lino to give adequate protection to every man, worn
in and child, who acknowledges allegiance to the "Stars
ind Stripes" and who rightfully, therefore, looks for pro
jection. Little sympathy have we had for those adven
urists, who persist in courting danger across the bord?r
n spite of the many warnings and evidences of unfrlond
'iness of the outlaws. But those people who have acquir
d ptoperty interests across the border and who did so
'rfere .the condition became as chaotic as it has beon f;r
he past four or five years are entitlod to consideration.
It is natural diat they should want protection for their
life accumulations. Be that as it may, the United Staios
