Not at all pleasing is the rumor that North Carolina
and Virginia will Jse in aeparate farm loan bank dis
tricts. Such a division will mitigate against Raleigh's
chance for one of the banks, and perhaps no place in the
State will be considered should North Carolina "e the
nrtithern state in its district. A more central point will
naturally be chosen.
Xinstonjans will be interested to know that Charli.

Premier Lloyd-George, whose first official utteranor
in his new place, was to reject the propogal of the Con
tral Powers for a peace conference, asserts that no sue!
conference can be had until Germany makes known he
terms. Mr. Lloyd-George insists upon complete restitu
tiun being assutred before the Allies will enter into an,
peace negotiation. In spite of this attitude, which coulii
have been anticipated, there is yet an opportunity per
haps for neutral influence to piny a powerful part ir
dtrving an entering wedge for the cessation of hostilities
The civilized world haa had enough of the terrible slaujrh
ter, and if tha carnage is to keep on simply to eatisf;'
revengeful spirit on either., ide of the conflict, the non
combatant people, who are feeling very keenly the effect
of the war-, must take a hand sooner or Inter in stoppinr-
OUR GAS PLANT.
"What about our gas plant T"" inquires one of our live
wire citizens in the people'e column of The Free Press.
He wants to know if it is not time something was being
done to make uae of tha pipes, which have been laid
and for which the tax-payers have already been as
sessed. The Free Press heartily agrees with the citizen that
one of the most crying needs of Kinston now is a jrns
plant. Fortunately, she enjoys most all other city con
veniences, but she is still in the drudge stage so far a;
the kitchen is concerned. "Cook with Gas," is the famil
iar slogan of most every progressive city.
Kinston apparently had a pretty good prospect for e
gas plant in 1914, when the franchise was given to a
Philadelphia concern, but that opportunity was forfeited
y the holders of the franchise and 'lost to Kinston.
While The Free Press believes t''.tft the city authori
ties acted wisely in laying gas mains to obviate the nec
essity of tearing up the street paving, 'rhen the gaa plan'
is put in, the point that the citizen makes, that the main?
are now dead weights, cannot boniol." It behoove?
Kinston to bestir itself for a gas plant, and we believe
Chamber of Commerce, the live bedy, which is usual
ly awake and on the firing line for those things, wiacr
make for Kinston's progrt6'and groflrtlj, would do wel
to begin the active chamfrtbhah'lp' of avgfcs plant. By it
erection the ever-present servant problem would be
largely solved, and as the citizen points out, the pre.-icn'
cost of fuel would not be felt so grievously as it is wher
thekitchen to entiiely dependent upon coal or wood.
All together for a gas plant!

THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
The Anti-Saloon League is planning to hold a big tem
perance convention in Raleigh January 15 and 10. Hon
orable William Jennings Bryan will be one of the princi
pal speakers. Judge Samuel D. Weakley, former chlel
justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, and ardent
prohibitionist; Commissioner of Prohibition of the Stttr
of Virginia, Mr. J. Sidney Petera and other workers fo
the cause of temperance will be heard.

Sunday schools, churches, young people's societies anc
other like organizations are invited to send representa

who are interested in the cause of temperance, rally to
the support of Superintendent Davis and the board of
trustees of the Anti-Saloon League to the end that a unit
ed effort may be made to correct the mistakes and pick
out 'the. flaws in the statutes now on the books and
strengthen and provide such machinery as may be nec
essary to make the enforcement of prohibition a reality.
The mail ordo business, which is unloading thousands of
gallons of liquor in the State at present, should be check
ed. Unquestionably, much liquor .is cpjning into the State
for illegal purposes. Blind tigers are thriving, and when
run to earth are permitted to continue their nefarious
business after paying a nominal fine, unless perch.vnce
they happen to be some few who haven't the price. The
good people of North Carolina should line up behind' the
Anti-Saloon League and co-opc)rate in the enactment of
the stringent and remedial laws, which have been. pre
pared for the consideration of the coming Legislature.
