To Build Longest Bridge.

1t seems probable that next year q
commencement will be made with the
construction Of the railway bridge be-
tween Rugen Germany and the main
land, which will be the longest In the
world, exceeding even that over Ho-
hahgho, with its $3.50 yards. The cost
Of this great engineering work is, how
ever, not expected to amount to more
than 100000, or less than a third OF
that of the Forth bridge.
II would appear to be rather the
success Of the train ferry from Sass
nitz to Trelleborg, in Sweden, than
the ever-~increasing popularity OF Ru.
gen as a holiday resort, which has led
to the projecting OF the contemplated
viaduot. Originally 1t was estimated
that the number of railway passengers
TO or across the island would reach
100000 only in 1915, but so popular has
the route proved that this figure was
almost attained last year.

When a bright green rug was put
down in the presidents private ONCE
recently and a lurid red creation was
laid in the sanctum Of his secretary,
Joseph Patrick Tumulty, several of
those present could not refrain from
commenting about the lack OF fitness
of the color scheme. Secretary Tu.
nudity is a downright loyal Irishman,
however, and a great admirer Of the
chief executive, 30 he responded to
the tests by saying that nothing was
too good for the president OF the
United States even though he had to
make sacrifices himself. He will con-
tent himself. by putting a few pressed
shamrocks over the mantel.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-With ar
rangements for adjournment of Con-
gress next month about completed, ad-
ministration leaders today began lay
ing plans for actively pushing the
for the election of another
Democratic Senate and House in No
vember.
In accordance with his recent letter
to Chairman Doremus, of the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee, Pres
ident Wilson will not make any
speeches himself, but he plans to car
ry on an active letter writing cam
paign in a number of states.
The President has requests before
him for letters of support from Demo
cratic candidates in all parts of the
country. 1t was intimated at the
White House today that the admins
tration will support all candidates
nominated in open Democratic pri-
maries. In this connection special at.
tention attaches to the situation in II.
linois, where Secretary Bryan opposed
Roger Sullivan for the senatorial
nomination. Chairman McCombs, OF
the Democratic National committee
has announced since the primaries
that he will support Mr.. Sullivan fol
election.
1t was intimated that practically al
memoirs of the Cabinet will speak il
the campaign.

BUY A BALE OF COTTON

Where one bale OF cotton moved
three weeks age, thousands are NOV
ing now.
They are moving out of the market,
swiftly and steadily, at ten cents a
pound. And the people who are buy
ing them are going 10 hold them until
profitable prices are established.
More and more cotton is in demand.
Less and less cotton is for sale.
The South is not to be sacrificed
The South is to be saved, fortified, en-
riched: and the common country will
share it's prosperity.
The Buy-a-Bale campaign began
with the purchase of a bale here and
there by patriotic individuals through
the South; today it is inspiring the
purchase of thousands of bales by
great Industrial and mercantile insti-
tutions.
The business men Of New York have
organized a campaign for the purchase
of two hundred thousand bales at ter
cents a pound. The business men Of
Chicago have perfected plans for tax.
ing a hundred thousand bales from
the market at ten cents a pound. An
other hundred thousand bales r ex.
pected to be bought at ten cents
pound in Cincinnati. Likewise, st
Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
other large cities are rallying to the
support of the Buy-a-Bale campaign
with magnificent enthusiasm and mar
vicious results.
The end of this quickening construc-
tive movement, no one "a foresee. /
is just now getting its momentum 1t.
true significance and full possibilities
are just now being realized.
But let us remember this: The Buy
a-Bale campaign would never hav'
started had it not been for the public
spirited citizen who bought his bale
Pub1ic-spirited individuals must con
tinue loyal and active. Have yol
bought your bale? If not, buy now.

AEROPLANE AMERICA
IS SHIPPED UNDER COVER
Brought From HammondspOrt Secret
ly and Placed Aboard the Maure-
tania Under Cover of Dark
ness Last Night.

New York, Sept. 30.-Under cover
of darkness, the America, said to be
the worlds most powerful a%eroplane,
today was loaded on the steamer Maui
retania and now is being taken across
the Atlantic to be used by the British
government for war service. The Am
erica was built for a transatlantic
flight and would have been piloted by
Lieut.. John C. Porte, a British naval
lieutenant.
The America and two other aero
planes constructed by a Hammonds-
port, N. Y, company, were brought
here on a special train "a hours before
the Mauretania sailed, it was learned
tonight, and secretly stored in I'll
Mauretania's hold. High powered au
tomobiles carried the machine in sec
lions from Hammondsport to Bath, n
! Y. Upon arrival here they were load
ed On the lighters and taken out to
the liner-this also under cover O
| darkness.
The Mauretania was many miles a
sea before announcement of the ship
ment was made. The names of The
purchaser and consignees of the ma
chimes were closely guarded.
The impression prevailed here to
night that owing to his familiarit,
with the working of the America
Lieut.. Porte might be selected to pilo
her should she be used for militar,
purposes.
When tested at Hammondsport las
summer, the America flew with tel
men and a quantity of gasoline aboar
her lift approximating 1000 pounds.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED

A special meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce of G~oldsboro was held
last night, October 1st, to consider
the cotton question. What the meet
ing lacked in numbers it more than
made up in enthusiasm and an opti-
mistic vein was noticed throughout
the proceedings.
Upon the motion of Mr.. J. M. Edger-
ton and DR.. E.. G. Vitou the chair was
taken by Mr.. D. H. Dixon, in the I'M
avoidable absence of both the Presi-
dent and vice president of the Cham
Der.
The Chamber discussed the cotton
question in all it's phases and were in
favor of a reduction of acreage in
1915. A most interesting letter, which
is printed in full herewith, was pre-
scented and received with marked in
terest. The proposal of the Grain
Dealers National Association to arouse
it's western farmers to the purchase of
cotton from the more needy holders
promises not only a certain measure
Of relief, but will also bring into the
community needed money from the
North and West without expense to
Goldsboro.
1t was the sense of the members
that Goldsboro should do all it could
to maintain and further the friendly
relations of the citizens and farmers,
and that it most certainly should nan
| fest interest in the welfare of the
farmers upon whose prosperity the
town is built.
The Grain Dealers letter is as fol-
lows:

American Tobacco Company's "Buy-

American Tobacco COmpany's "Buy-
a-BaIe'' Offer Helps Merchants
In Southern States.
New York, Sept. 28.-The American
Tobacco Company is to lend it's pow
erfuI support to making the "buy-a-
bale-of-cotton" idea a success. The
plan evolved by the Tobacco Company
will greatly help the cotton situation
in the South, while at the same time
stimulating trade through the South
ern states and so establishing conf
dence in the South's continued pros
perity.
In a letter sent to it's customers.
Percival S. Hill, President of The Am
erican Tobacco Company, makes the
folio wing offer: eve will purchase,
at 1Oc. a pound, as many pounds OF
good midd1ing cotton from each of our
customers in the above named states,
as the aggregate number of pounds of
Red J. and PENIS Natural Leaf plug
tobaccos, Bull Durham and Tuxedo
smoking tobaccos, and Sovereign Gig
~arettes Counting each thousand of
Sovereign Cigarettes as equal to five
pounds of %tobacco), shipped direct to
such customer from Sept. 20, 1914, to
Nov. 80, 1914"
This letter was sent to dealers in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Texas; so that the benefic-
ial effects of this plan will be far
reaching.
Mr.. Hill gave out the following
statement: ct is our plan to render
uniform help to our customers in all
cotton-growing sections. The brands
on which we make this co~tton-buying
offer have such a large sale through
out these sections, that we estimate
1 $1,000 bales of cotton can be bought
by our Company under this plan. By
offering to buy cotton from it's South
ern customers the Company feels it is
rendering a service to the territory
which deals largely with it, and is
also making a sound financial invest
ment."
