WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1920.
Remember the word that I said unte you, The
' servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, (hey will also persecute you; if
they liave kept my saying, they will keep yours
also. John 15:20. '

Uncle Sam is said to be "Up on poion gas" if the need
ever arines for Us use again. Here's hoping that the in
formation may never be called into active service.
There ought to be but one objection to President Wil
son's acceptance of the place of mediator in the Armenian
troubles. That is the probability of his over taxing his
strength, and that objection will not be raised by his enemies..
Rave n years is a longTIme to escape the clutches of the
law, but there is no reason for the search for a murderer
to ever cease. The capture of Alfred Lynch who is charged
with killing a commissary clerk near here seven years ago,
will come some day. Sin wi!l out.
1R. ABSBER HONORED.
The tender of a place in the medical department of the
United States Army with rank of major, which has com
o Dr. Darius C. Absher, health officer of Lenoir County,
.s .an honor that bespeaks the good record of l)r. Absher
.vhile serving a commission during the world war. The"
place is a permanent one,' the appointment being for life,
ind the emoluments are such as to be most attractive and
jverbalancing when compared to places of public service
n civil life. ( "
The probability is of course that Dr. Absher will accept
he offer and the position of health officer will be again
scant While The Free Press congratulates him and for
lis own sake wishes that he may be led to choose the
;ourse that is best, it regrets very much that there is a
jrobability of another break in the local health work,
hich has been conducted so satisfactorily under the di
rection of Dr.' Absher.' . If there is any way for him to
tee his way clear to remain here, The Free Press hopes
.hat it will be apparent.

As we understand it, the proffer of the place of medu
llar for Armenia was tendered to President Wilson per
wnally and not to the United States Senate. That being
ihe cane, it is evident that the members of the League
it Nations assembly which made the tender are appreci
ative of the great service that America's Chief Executive
has rendered in behalf of world peace, even if partisan
enemies among his fellow countrymen fail to do so.
The good advice of Carel Van Hervie, secretary of the
Kinston Chamber of Commerce, to stick together, "boost
and boast" for Kinston is sound and if taken in earnest
by the folks hereabouts will unquestionably work to the
good of the community. This is surely the time when
real honest to goodness cooperation and puil-together-to-it-tive-ness
will count.
That regulation in North Carolina jurisprudence which
requires a substantial deposit of security before so-called
fraternal and other insurance companies are permitted to
sell policies within the State, is a safeguard which bene
fits the people even if they may not appreciate Its worth.
Senator McCormick says he isn't in Europe to play the
role of "Colonel House to the Harding administration."
Well, perhaps the President-Elect is trying him" out for
the place and hasn't exactly confided in him to that extent
yet. '

GOOD HEALTH HINTS
Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad
itice on Avoiding Sickness.-
Used Black-Draught
30 Years.
Cameron, Okla. "I have used
Thedord's Black-Draught for about
thirty years, and certainly ought to
know by this time what a good medi
cine it is," rays Mr. T. L. Bostier, a
well-known farmer of this place. Mr.
Boatler has passed his three-score-and-tenth
year, but declares his health
still is good, "and I can say BlacK
DratiRht did its part."
"Where there is a lot of malaria, a
ilver medicine Is a necessity, and I
aave never found one better than
Black-Draught," continues the Okla
hOmnn. "It is one that I know to be
reliable. I sure use it for the liver,
atoinach. constipation. Indigestion,, and
It ha3 done me a world of good. We
ase It for the family, and it gives
wtisfactlon. '
"Most trouble, or sickness, comes
;rom the liver, and if taken in time
aa be avoided. That is why I use
Black Draught as 1 do. I am much
ileased with results obtained."
Thftdford'a Black-Draught is purely
vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent
iy stimulating the liver, and helps in
crease the. normal flow of bile into tht
Intestines. It assists in the digestion
of food, and relieves constipation In a
orompt and natural way.
