<feirb? It will JAlfES L 1IATO . Pw*?po?| OARL GOEHCH ....1 Edito?| WASHQiOTai^ WOfiTH CAROLINA, NOV. 18, 1918. Little pteaaun* of life: ? gptting up it 6 g. m. on a morning like] today an a building HP *??? or foa* film. v They aay that th6 high price of everything today is due to the na-| tion'a prosperity. If that is true, for heaven's sake, let's have a| little more poverty before we all go broke en prosperity. It's rather cold to be thinking of such things, but just the same we ' hope that the hearing over the deepening of the Pamlico river will result in some actual work along this line. , We do not know whether the new work on the Market street road j ha? been completed or not, but we DO know that the road is now in as bad condition aa it was before any work was done upon it,? I if not worse. 1 SETTLING ACCOUNTS. Next week will be known as "Pay-up Week" in Washington- It ha* been inavguratad with the intention of cleaning up old accounts | and paying bills that have boon allowed to pile up in the past. It is hoped that the citizens will join in the movement and that when ( the week ends, it will havo seen thousands of dollars transferred from j the debtors to the creditors. It is an easy matter to make bills and to say "Charge it " when' making purchases. The merchant is only too ready to accommodate you. It is neither fair nor just, however, for any person to abuse this credit and make the merchant suffer for bis liberality. Many of the business men of Washington have hundreds of dollars on their books at t5ie end of each year, ? money which they cannot collect. And these same business men are forced to ask credit from the mills and factories because they are short of money and because the people who owe them won't pay. There is far too much money beiiiir carried on- the books of Washington merchants and, as a result, business is not in as "healthy" condition as it should be. "Pay-up Week," if carried oat successfully, will do much toward straightening out old accounts and putting the city generally on a better financial basis. GIVING A HELPING HAND. mi Porhap9 there are some among our readers who will turn impa tiently away when they read this editorial and find out that it per tains to tho Armenian relief fund. Perhaps they will make some re mark about having seen enough about the matter and "getting tired of it." But even at tho risk of offending some, we cannot forbear having another word or two to say about tibe Armenian sufferers. It is being endeavored to raise in Washington a fund for their relief. Almost $100 has already been raised. But more money is needed ? and the noed is urgent. We wish we could on&ke this message personal to you and bring tho situation before you so vivklly that you could not but realize something of tho torture that those poor people are undergoing. Just stop and consider for a minute. By not contributing to this fund, you are killing gpme baby. By not contributing you are taking wife away from husband, daughter from father. By not contribut ing you are causing the most terrible suffering that any living being, can imagine. You are allowing people to die by tho thousands. You' art* doing this without the slightest thought or care. You are thought loss of what is on these stricken countries. That can be the onlv reason for your failure to contribute. If you <fould only THINK, you could not atop from contributing to tho<fund, even if you wanted to. Next week it is desired to bring the fund up to $200. Every rcadeT of thi? article is nrged to sit still and think for a minute. If you d<~ that, you will feel hound to see Mr. John Bragaw on your next trip down town and tell hitft that you wish to contribute to the fund. DEEPENING OF THE PAMLICO. At the Federal building Thursday there was held a hearing per taiuing to tbe deepening of the Pamlico river to 12 feet It is im possible to Bay just jet what the outeome of this hearing will be, but it it* generally believed that it will result in the appropriation ol sufficient money by the government to have the work done. With the inland waterway canal at the mouth of the Patnlico river, and with ita depth of 12 feet, Washington would derive little benefit, from this great canal tf the preeent depth of 10 feet in the river were maintained. Bargee would have to unload and reload their freight before attempting to enter this port and the result would be that shipping from "here would bo ine.reased but little. But with a depth of 12 feet and with a widening of the channel, there is little doubt but that Washington will derive great benefit from the inland waterway and tliat the city will become an important port. PAVING THE STREETS. In he Daily Newt, ? day or two ago, there was published a letter from Congressman Small, having to do witih the paving of more streets in Washington. M r. Small suggested that a special act of the legislature be obtained whereby the city could hare ita payment done in the same manner as that of Greenville. More pavement ia needed badly in Washington. There at* many streets in the eity that are worse than eonntry lane* In rainy weather they 'are full of mad holes and at time* they are pracri -ally impassable. When the $80,000 bond issue waa being voted qn a', the beginning of the year) soar of tho residents of the eonntry stated that Washington had better tij > get good streets herself bofore trying to bnild good roads i*? the eonntry. There ia considerable truth in the remark. We need better streets and we might Jnst aa well go ?head and gtf ttesn now m to wait Bre or ten years Wore Starting ' . .. IT"* OOIkU to b*.
