Such a division will mititfate against Raleigh'.' chance for one of the banks, and perhaps no place in t State will be considered should North Carolina V the northern state in its district. A more central point wi! naturally be chosen. Kinstonians will be interested to know that Chari: Bagby, although a thousand dr more miles removed c military duty, is not unmindful of the Oxford Orphan age and is, as has been his custom for some years, tal ing collection on the border for the worthy Masoni home. It is reported by some of the State papers' cor respondents from tho border that $30.00 has already bee-forwarded. Newa of the serious illness of Bob Gonzales, brilliun paragrapher of the Columbia State, who is Sergeant i the Second South Carolina Machine Gun Company, wit tie troops at Camp Stewart, comes as a shock to Mr newspaper fraternity throughout the country. No elite in America is honored by having his paragraphs reprr ducod more generally than is Mr. Gonzales. His editoi Sal columns have always been filled with readable an Interesting matter, and Tho Free Press expresses its sir cere hope that a change for the better will come in hi condition. Premier Lloyd-George, 'whose fir! official utters m in hia new place, was to reject the proposal of the Ccr tral Powers for a peace conference, asserts that no sue conference can be had until Germany makes known tu tor ms. Mr. Lloyd'Goorge insists upon complete restitu tion being assilred before the Allies will enter into an peace negotiations. In spite of this attitude, which cotil. have been anticipated, there is yet an opportunity f haps for neutral influence to play a powerful part i driving an entering wedge for the cessation of hostilities The civilixed world haa had enough of the terrible slnuirh ter, and if the carnage ia to keep on simply to satisf a revengeful spirit on either side of the conflict, the noli" combatant people, who are feeling very keenly the effect of the war must take a hand sooner or Inter in atoppin "What about our gas plant T" inquires one of our live wire citizens in the people's column of The Free Press. He wants to know if it is not time something was being done to make use of the pipes, which have been laid and for which the tax-payers have already been as sessed. The Free IVess heartily agrees with the citizen that one of the most crying needs of Kinston now is a -ras J plant. Fortunately, she enjoys most all other city con veniences, but Bhe is still in the drudge stage so far ar the kitc-hen is concerned. "Cook with Gas," ia the famil iar slogan of most every progressive city. Kinston apparently had a pretty good prospect for r xas plant in 1914, when the franchise was given to a Philadelphia concern, but that opportunity was fovfeitec' by the holders of the franchise and lost to Kinston. While The Free Press believes that the city authori tics acted wisely in laying gas mains to -Ojbviate the nec essity of tearing up the street paving, when the gas plnn is put in, the point that the citizen makes, that the main are now dead weights, cannot be denied. It behoove Kinston to bestir itself for a gas plant, en1 we belie--. Chamber of Ccmmerce, the live body which is usual ly awake and on the firing line for those things, wine! make for Kinston's progress and growth, would do ive! to begin the active champions-hip of a gas plant. By it erection the ever-present servant problem would ! largely solved, and as the citizen points out, the prescn cost of fuel would not be felt so grievously os it is uhc thekitchen is entirely dependent upon coal or wood. All together for a gas plant! FAT DRIPPINGS TO MAKE LOT OF FOLKS HAPPY CHRISTMAS i HOW TO CHECK THAT COLD, j When it is painful to breathe and( Arrwn- vour back vou are in for a cold.

The Anti-Saloon League is planning to hold a big teir1 perance conventioi in Raleigh January 15 and lfi. Hot: orable William Jennings Bryan will be one of the princ pal speakers. Judge Samuel D. Weakley, former c'lie justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, and nrden' prohibitionist; Commissioner of Prohibition of the Stat of Virginia, Mr. J. Sidney Peters and other workers fo the cuuse of temperance will be heard. The, purpose of the gathering will be the biennial rallj to promote legislation strengthening the bars, which hav been put up to free North Carolina from the liijuo.- evil Sunday schools, churches, young people's societies an; other like organizations are invited to send represents tives. ' ' The Free P ess believes that it is important that those vho are interested in the cause of temperance, rally to the support of Superintendent Davis and the board oi trustees of the Anti-Saloon Ieaguc 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 am strengthen and provide such machinery as may be nec sssary to make the enforcement of prohibition a reality The mail order business, which is unloading thousands of gallons of liquor in the State at present, should be check ed. Unquestionably, much liquor is coming into the State for illegal purposes. Blind tigers are thriving, and when un to earth are permitted to continue their nefarious business after paying a nominal fine, unless perchance they happen to be some few who haven't the price. The rood people of North Carolina should line up Ibehind the Anti-Saloon League and co-oprate in the enactment of :he stringent nnd remedial laws, which have been pre pared for the consideration of the coming Legislature.

The fat drippings of today would uve made a feast for both employ es and employes during the lean ho lays of l'JH, before the European var. Of course, all the record-breaking rofils do noi come directly out of he sale of pnwdiv ami shrapnel and tospital supplies, but it is the trad ng in war materials that is behino. he great stimulation. They had his much income if they didn't earn mother penny.' But there is no law igainat a broker buying or selling stocks for himself, which is one way )ig profits are made. "We've been too busy handling thcr people's orders," one broker complained ruefully, "to do much for wselves." There is the case, however, of one -oung man who worked as a steno grapher a year and now is said to -ave 250,000 of his own stored in ank, the money made out of a brok erage business set up on $5,000 capi-j-1. His operations have been all on Lhe curb market. In the stock exchange with a $7.r, )00 seat paid for by the firm far A'hom he was 3 telephone operatot "our years ago, is Robert C. Hancks. Most Wall St:eet stenographers lowever, will go without seats on Vi.e exchange. They will have to be con sented with gifts of 1100 to $')00 The latter sum is the figure pre- licted for the small wage earners in '.he banking house of J. P. Mor gan & Co., though formal announce ment of the firm's plan has not been made. Other houses, like the Guar anty Trust Co., which will distribute $.H0O.()0O to 1,000 employes; Charles II.

Fin hundreds of clerks it will be the best Christmas they've ever had, md, nt the same time, the second anniversary of the bluest they ever hope to see. Two years ago there were no bonuses.
