With Tar Heel Editors,

Evidently relations are getting a lit
tile strained among some of the good
people of Kinston over the graded school
question; and this has led Editor Her
bert, of the Free Press, to read them an
excellent lay-sermon in course of which
he uses these wise words which may
find fit application to other places than
Kinston: I'VE know it is impossible
for all in the community to see every
thing alike, but if there be charity
among our people these little differences
of opinion need not cause illwill or ami
mostly. Because a person differs with
us that does not necessarily make him
scoundrel, though doubtless there are
scoundrels who differ with us; on the
other hand there are scoundrels who
agree with us. 1t is unfortunate that
there are scoundrels, but there are not
as many sccundrels as some people, who
view matters from rather a narrow
point of view, think. Let charity be
more prevalent in Kinston. Let's be
more united Let's have the new grad
ed school buildings as soon as practi-
cable. Let's have waterwOrks and
sewerage as soon as possible, and after
that let's have paved streets and other
needed improvements. Also let's every
man inn Kinston try to do what is right
in the way of taxation; list his own
property ait it's real value and insist on
every other property owner doing the
same If this is done the needed i'm
provements can be made without bur-
dening anybody with excessive taxes;
and our people Will eventually become
healthy, wealthy and WISE
The editor of the Burlington News,
having failed to pay his rent for last
month. or some other equally good
cause, has moved, and in yesterdays is
sue he thus relates his experience: I'VE
moved yesterday and those of our read
ers who have undergone such an ordeal
can sympathize with us-others cannot.
AS result, we have a broken finger,
eyes full of dust and SCOT, and are minus
of all our pocket change and religion,
had to go all day without eating-eXcept
something the neighbors brought us
just before going to bed-but Wen not
enumerate all our hardships, suffice it to
say, that they were all forgotten in the
JOY we felt at the reception we receiv-
cd upon our first visit to our new home
yesterday morning at the hands of five
broken tailed, enc eyed, long, lean, gaunt
Sickly- looking cats which were waiting
On the door steps to make us feel at
home. AS we looked at them we knew
that they were glad to see us and knew
that we were not entirely friendless in
the world. But for this reception COM
mittee we don't know whether we could
have stood the misfortunes of the day"
The Monroe Journal reads this lesson
to an anonymous correspondent who
signs himself bloomsbury" and dates
a letter on the Chief Justiceship from
Raleigh: Every now and then some
snolygoster about Raleigh takes it upon
himself to make a few political prognos-
locations, and says that such and such a
man will be supported by such and such
a religious denomination of which he is
a member. We do not believe that men
are supported in North Carolina for po
litical office on account of their church
affiliations, and the cock sure CORE
spondents who are always talking so
glibly on this line might fill long felt
want by giving us rest

thus explains the belated appearance OF
his last weeks issue: THE reason we
are late this week is because we are
suffering from an attack of chills. I'm
der the circumstances we feel sure our
friends will overlook all shortcomings.
We will do better as soon as we are
able
Speaking of the Farmers meeting,
held yesterday in Raleigh, the editor of
the Wilmington Messenger says: 1T
is very natural movement, for it has
come to pass that some unanimity of
action is positively necessary on the
part of our farmers to protect their
interests in the matter of cotton seed
prices

longer the cool weather will answer it
