WASHINGTON, NOBTfe CAROLINA, OCT. 4, 1915.
One of the pet sports of the paragraphers these days is to take
some prominent man's name and make all kinds of puns out of it.
However, we believe they'd have a hard time with that fellow whose
name appeared in a recewt issue of the Berliner Anzeigor. It was
Herr Toztoslafenladenspiegel.
All things don't come to him who waits. For example, the poet
never has found a rhyme for "window," t^rolf" or "silver'1 in th
English language.
"It U very difficult at times," comments the Greenville Reflector
'?for a fellow to make himself believe that Sunday is a rest day.**
If you should come over to Washington some Monday and see the
number of colored gentlemen up before the recorder you'd very much'
believe that Sundav was arrwt day.
LACK OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.
Just to tdiow that they are not going to be held back by Wash"
ington's lack of progreasiveneas and enterprise, Aurora and Belhaven
both aro going to have a big agricultural fair this fall. Prepara
tions aro under way and both events will, in all probability, prove
a credit to the cities in which they ure to bo held.
Why efforts wore not made to have a general county fair in thi?
eitv is more than we can understand. There appears to be juc.t
ono logical excuse?and that is that our citizens haven't tho gum]/
tion or the aggressiveness to tackle something that requires some
work and some of their time.
Aside from the educational and agricultural benefits of a county
fair, the commercial value of the event alone should be inducement
enough for our citizens to show some interest in it. A fair in
Washington would bring thousands of visitors hero during fair week;
it would give the city advertisement all ovor this section of the State,
and it would increase the business of our local merchants. All this
is lost to us because there is no one to take enough interest in the
project,
Aurora and Belhaven are to be cougratidated upon their public
spirited citizens, who have tho welfare of their communities at heart.
It is too bad that some of them can't como to Washington to live
and spread some of their enthusiasm here. They are badly neodod.
Not only in the matter of a county fair, but in other work as
well, are Belhaven and Aurora leading Washington. They are
building bridge? and roads, improving their streets and interesting
themselves in the work of developing the sections surrounding them.
Washington became greatly agitated over the "good roads" move
ment,about two months ago, but since then not one shovel of dirt has
been turned in improving the roads in the vicinity of this city.
We're asleep; that's what we are?asleep!
Considerable comment has been heard lately over the neat and
attractive appearam-e of the property south of the court house. The
gras* is kept cut, and cannons have been planted along the side of
the court house and along tho rear fence. The improvement is evi
dent to eve none who happens t?? go along Market street. More
could be done, however, and it is hoj>ed that the county will not rest
ttntisficd with what they have accomplished. A few loads of dirt,
to level it off, some good gras*-sood, to make a lawn, a number of
flower-bed s and a few benches, and they could form as pretty a
little park a* mil Id be desired.
A Chicago physician advises the wives of snoring husbands to
report them to the l>oard of health, but we are not told what the
boards of health is expected to do with them.?Virginian-Pilot.
READING EDITORIALS.
Various editorials have recently appeared in a number of papers
on "the editorial," and discussions have ensued as to whether tho
editorial columns are read by the majority of readers. The general
opinion appears lo be that if an editor selects good, live topics for
his editorials his writings will be read, but if he delves into sub
ject* that have no interest for his readers, or if he is merely trving
trying to write "an essay," he might a? well save himself work and
fill his column up with patent medicine advertisements.
1 he choice of subjects, however, does not make the editorial page
interesting. A great deal depends upon their treatmeut. Two of
the big State papers recently carried editorials on the same sub
ject. One was a quarter of a column in length, and the other wa*
two columns. It would be a ssfc bet to say that ten men read tho
first, where one man read the second. Brevity, according to the
best editorial writers in the country today, is the most important
thing to be taken into consideration, after the theme of the editorial
bas be?*i selected.
When it comes to considering subjects for the editorial, there
is not question but that local matters are of tho greatest interest.
Especially is this true of the smaller papers. When foreign mat
tars are dealt with, moat readers prefer that they be just as brief as
it is possible to make them.
Wo believe that the editorial pages of the papers in this section
of the State are as bright and interesting as it is possible to make
thm. The reason for this is probably that the editors realize the
value of a good live editorial and are willing to take the tt&ible and
the paina to think up a good oije. There in no doubt but that their
writinga are read wffh interest and appreciation.

COUNTY PAIRS.|
Within the past year there has been a notable increase in the
number of county fair? in Kfrrth -Carolina. Noarly all the towna
are now so equipped and som* that bare not yet been able to raise
sufficient morey for the pilwhso of grounds and equipping thetn
with buildings, arc baring reaort't*the scattered exhibit on streets

IWinston-Salem some yean ago.' The oounty fair of tho present is a far
more useful institution than tbfc faira of past periods, when they were
looked on merely as gathering pUeea for various forms of uonB
nient, including some forms of questionable character. - The county
jfsir is now regarded as an educational institution snd one thst in

tended for their benefit, it is Aow made beneficient in practice. Ha v

"We echo the query of our friend," says the Wilmington Dispatch.I
"Ves, why not? To those who would answer in the negative or
doubt, we could combat the fonber and remove all dubiousness of
the latter by citing the experience of Wilmington. This community
baa for a long time had a district mirse, a graduate nurse and one
of the best, who has done this work, being backed by an organization,!
and several months ago another trained nurse was placed in the field|
by the health department So with thia combination we believe,
? Wilmington can claim to be the leader in this fine work, thoughI
'there is glory enough for all.' " '

THE THEATRES.
"Who Closed Your Theater!" is the title of an article in the
October McClure's in which it is stated- that m tho cities of the
West, Middle West and South, ranging- from ^lR.OOO to 200,000
population, nearly 200 theatres and opera houses, the principal places
of amusement in the communities, are boarded up and abandoned.
The theatrical syndicate managers of New York attributes this to
the movies' and the hard times, but the writer in McClure's takes
different view and puts the blame npon the -character of the showi
that in the past few years have been sent out in these sections.
There is no doubt of the fact that the tone of the modern plays
I has been slowly dropping until it ia no longer surprising to have
city authorities actually prohibit a production. Theatrical syndi
cates that would ?end out plays in which Common decency was chal
lenged had no right to expoct anything but a final protest from the
puhlic.
? Salacious shows that may have appealed to the vitiated taste of
the Broadway revellers were not the kind-ty present to the clean
minded people of tho smaller communities, and the results are the
natural protest that outraged modesty made. People are still will
ing to pay to see good actors and actresses ip decent performances,
and the theaters may remain boarded up dtitil ?ttth plays Srt offered
them.?Ledger~I)iBpatch.
