For there is not a just man on earth, that do eth (,'ood, and ninneth not. Fee. 7.30. As a cover for nakedness, the one-piece bathing suit plays an inconspicuous part, and an an insignia of modesty it has no title whatsoever. Headline: 'Carrying free passengers aviator sets hih record."--Indeed, we arc glad not to have been numbered among the passengers. Ah! We see Wall Street is, as usual, more Interested in who is to be the next Secretary of the Treasury than who is to be the President. JosephuH seems to have left very little for the imagi nation in his reply before the Senate Investigating Com mittee to the Sims' charges. The Free Press neglected to interview any of the he roes of the battle of March 8, lbfiii who gathered here Mon day, as to whether the Norfolk-Southern passenger sta tion was then standing. The California "wife murderer" who admits that he killed nine of his wives, was given a life sentence in the penitentiary. In about two years he will probably bv seeking pardon whereupon had he only killed one woman, the chances are that he would have been electrocuted. QI OD BENE NOTANDLM. Those who venture to criticise modern Ktyles and de precate the vulgar tendencies of the times arc more than apt to subject themselves to the charge of prudery and of licing classified as old fogy, but isn't it well sometimes to ask the question, "Where are we going?" and "Where lire we going to stop in the exciting race of exposure?" The Free Press pleads guilty to neither charge, nor is' it willing to admit that it is easily shocked It has been about quite considerably and seen much. Perhaps we have gone to the extreme in modesty in the past and wandered too far from Mother Nature's raiment. At least there may be room for argument on that score. But now certainly the pendulum seems to be "hitting it back" at a rapid clip, and we find ourselves frequently meditating upon the question "How far?" The Free Press deplores the apparent indifference and thoughtlessness of mothers who permit their sweet, young (laughters to don bathing apparel and parade in public which would actually subject them to arrest by officers of the law, were the to appear in such garb, or rather so garbles.-, upon the beaches of most of the prominent and fashionable summer resorts where fashion's eccentri cities run riot. Surely God's creative masterpiece is the girlish girl, weet, attractive and modest. But the one-piece, ab breviated bathing costume, unaccompanied by any vestige of hosiery is in no sense conducive to the last named at tribute. It " PERPETUATING MEMORIES, Momlay was a memorable occasion in the annals of Unoir County and North Carolina. The erection of the marker perpetuating the memory of the illustrious part played by the heroes of this great commonwealth in the War Between the States, is an event that should and will brinit pride to the hearts of every loyal son nnd daughter. The immortal deeds of the Confederate soldiers have not been emblazoned on the scroll of time as befits the unequalled courage and bravery which characterized them. J Greensboro News speaks out in behalf of the Chau- Particularly has this been the caso in North Carolina, tauqun guarantors, saying that they "find themselves but happily,, provision has now been made for marking under the always serious necessity of guaranteeing" To the historical spots, ami thoite who love the traditions of this might have been added 'also the ever necessity of their fathers will seo that the work is well done. paying the guarantee. RIGHT WILL PREVAIL. America's part in the great world strife was not one of party or faction, but the great achievements of that pe riod from April, 1UI7 to November, 1918, were wrought y a united people. It is indeed unfortunate that the important work of fol- owing up and clinching the victory has devolved itself into a sordid partisan controversy. While The Free Press has consistently endorsed President Wilson's course in in sisting upon either ratification or out and out rejection of the treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations, it regrets, as must the President and all good citizens, that the isue must be made a party one and thrown into the campaign thiH year. Far better would it have been, f the American people ns a whole had been called upon to pass upon the issue before it became beclouded and bemuddled nnd besmirched with rank and bitter par- tisanship. The Free Press has faith, however, that the American people are going to right tho situation and redeem the fair name of this country. Her honor is not going to be lragged in the dust and mire of selfish partisanship. The opportunity, presented to this country as to no other in all history to play the part of "big brother" and lead in the reconstruction of the world upon the basic prin ciples of right and justice to all mankind is not going to be perpetually ignored.

THE Chero-Cola Company enjoys the unique position of be ing the only soft drink syrup manufacturer in America operat ing its own full process "bone-char" sugar refinery, which pro cess is that universally employed in producing the highest grade of granulated sugar. . High grade soft drinks require refined sugar equal to the best manufactured by the largest American refineries, all of which use the "bone-char" process. This refinery has enabled the Chero-Cola Company to manu facture Chero-Cola syrup when other less fortunates could noi secure sugar anywhere at any price. Buying, as we do, what the trade terms "Cuban-Raws," we do not compete with the housewife in her purchases for the fam ily sugar-bowl. Our contracts for raw sugar made last year, at a figure far below the present market price, have permitted us to furnish Chero-Cola Bottlers with syrup at a price which has enabled you to buy Chero-Cola at 5c a bottle. The constantly increasing demand for Chero-Cola syrup has largely exhausted the low-priced sugar bought last year, and new contracts are made at a much higher price. This fact, coupled with other increasing costs, has caused an advance on our syrup to our Bottlers, who in turn have advanc ed Chero-Cola to the dealer, and he sells it to you at an advance of only ONE CENT a bottle. The success of Chero-Cola is largely ascribed to its unfailing uniformity. That this uniformity of flavor and quality be main tained, it is necessary to advance the price to 6c. We will not sacrifice quality nor reduce the quantity. We feel that our millions of friends will appreciate that we have held the price of soft drinks down to five cents until the rising tide of cost made it impossible and promise that when it is possible, Chero-Cola will be among the first to return to the old price.
