WATCH FOR LIARS.

It is a good time to look out for politi-
cal liars. Some of them stay in news
paper Offices and manufacture tele
grams and communications. Others
send them to papers. Watch out for
them.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Kinston Free Press didn't
ask us a single question last week.
What is the matter9 This don't often
happen.
State Lecturer Bell will speak at
Pineville on May 5th; at Huntersville
on the 9th, both in Mecklenburg
county.
We learn incidentally, but we
think from a goodsource, that there is
an overproduction-of liars-in this
country.
~ No Specializing in futures. Wait
until you gee the platform and the can
didates before you swear that you will
support them.
~ The candidate who expects to op-
pose the Ocala or st. Louis platforms
this year had better hire a substitute
to go to the front.
We return thanks for an invita-
ton to the annual commencement of
Fairview Institute and Commercial
College on the 1925 of May.
- The papers continue to abuse Bro.
Butler, but few, if any, attempt to an
swer his arguments. That is a mighty
sorry way for smart people to do.
& - The politicians have substituted
the notice, keep off politics." for
"keep off the grass" But you can't
get farmers to listen to such stuff.
Mr.. Peele is discussing "Ques-
ton of Honor in this issue. He will
have more along this line later on.
Watch out for it. Read the articles.
An article in "Public Voice"
column in the issue for April 18th was
signed &c. f. Washf1eld." It should
have been &c. F. Wakefield, ;" Lenoir,
N. G.
If the farmers succeed in captur
ing the machine there will be some
bowling. It anybody begins to howl
we are going to yell niger! niger!
just as loud as we can.
~ Make every candidate stand up
and say which side he is on. Nominate
no man who is only half and half. He
will turn out to be only one half and
that on the wrong side.
<#** We learn that in some of the
primaries already held Alliancemen
have been kept out. Please send us
affidavit to this effect from every pre-
cinct where this has been done.
Must we have some honest hay
seed for Governor of North CarolinaY
Tt looks that way. Of course a mer-
chant, manufacturer or professional
man will do all right-if they are right.
X ~ Those fellows who declare that
they will bolt the convention if reform
measures are put in the platform ought
to be inundated by chairman Smith.
Tt is a poor rule that don't work both
ways.
y. Remember that we have a hun
dred times more grievances than had
our ancestors when they declared their
independence. Go to the primaries
and don't let any township chairman
scare you, either.
-. Congressman and Senators say
that their salaries are not half enough
to enable them to "live in fashionable
society in Washington" That doesn't
matter, we didn't elect them and don't
pay them to play the dude in Wash
ington.

A Western welding.

1t happened long ago in a Western
mining town. There wasn't a preacher
in the place and when an exceedingly
raw young man and woman desired to
get married the services of the Police
Judge were called in. He had never had
any experience in that branch of his au-
thOrity, but with true Western enterprise
he agreed to tackle the job and the Gull
prits were brought before him.
Stand up" he said as they seated
themselves, and they stood up.
"Come forward to the bar of JUSTICE -
he continued with a pompous effort, and
they came.
Guilty or not guilty ?'' he asked as
they stood before him holding hands.
Guilty, your honor" responded the
groom.
us this your first offense ?''
1T is, your honor, so help me-"
well, there's nothing to do but impose
life sentence on both of you and assess
the groom for the costs"
How much, your honor ?' asked the
groom, going down into his pockets.
Ten dollars.'
The groom handed it over.
"Case is dismissed" announced the
Judge, and the innocent young things
marched out of the room as radiant as a
June morning when the sunlight kisses
the roses until they blush again.

AMONG some business men the false
idea prevails that when there comes a
dull season in trade the very first thing
in which to retrench is in advertising.
There is no greater business mistake.
The time of all others in which to enlarge
and persistently push in advertising is
when there is a tendency to dullness.
This is an economic truth announced by
Freeman Hunt thirty years ago, and
which has never been successfully con-
troverted. When business channels are
crowded and the current of trade runs
strong and deep, there is least need OF
presenting the special advantages dealers
offer. When the channels are quiet and
the trade pulse declines, the need for the
stimulant of advertising is greatest 1t is
in the dull season that bargains" as the
word goes, are most sought: it is the time
when, if there are advantages to be had
by the buyer, he most seeks them, and
hence, if some sacrifices are to be made
by those having goods to offer, they
should be most fully and strongly pre-
scented through legitimate advertising
mediums. In short, one means to make
dull times brisk times, is to advertise
freely. Let the mercantile community
by its retrenchment in presenting its
claims. confess that it feels stagnation,
and it directly contributes to and aug
ments it. At the East the men of business
who most advertise and best understand
the art, for it is an art. invariably enlarge
their advertising output when times are
dnllest. They have learned by expert
ence that such policy is one of true
economy,

Chronic Rheumatism cured

Robert G. Eldert, Valley Stream, n.
Y, writes:
Il am boatman and upwards of 60
years Of age. During the past two years
have suffered severely from rheuma-
tism of the lower part of my back. My
back ached without cessation, and at
times | thought 1 would be paralyzed. I
procured two ALLCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS and put them across the lower part
Of my spine. In twenty -four hours all
pain had ceased. At the end of a week I
put on two fresh ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs, wore them ten days, then took
them off and washed my back with a lit
tie alcohol, which removed every trace of
the plasters. 1t is now three months
since the plasters cured me, and l feel

AIlsRnN SENSATION

LISBON, Feb. 20.-Senhor Mendosa Cor
tes, an ex-minister and peer of the king
dom, who holds the Office of president of
the Lusitano bank, has been arrested on a
warrant signed by the minister of justice.
No doubt is entertained that the arrest is
due TO the financial troubles between the
government and the bank and the Royal
Railway company. Senior Reis Sousa, a
director of the Lusitano bank, is now out
on S225, 900 bail, and the Marquis Dafos.
formerly director of the Royal Railway,
has been arrested in connection with the
same affair. The frauds are in connection
with the railway employees pension fund.
II IS stated that the affairs of the Banco
Lusitano aud of the Royal Railway COM
pany are so intermingled that the iiabili-
ties of one and the other can scarcely be
distinguished. a decree was recently
issued ordering the formation OF a com
mission TO examine into the affairs of the
railway company, and a similar commits
sion was ordered to examine into the
banks affairs. It is highly probable that
the arrest OF Senior Cortes is the outcome
of these examinations. 1t was these
troubles that led TO the recent resignation
OF the Portuguese ministry.
