THE FUTURE OP THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTT.
From oue view point the fu-1
ture of the Democratic party
seems somewhat dismal. It is
a great army that has the right
on its side but has time and
again been frowned upon by
fortune and defeated by sheer
adversity .Discouragement pos
esses the party leadersand there
seems to be little inspiration at
present This feeling will be
dispelled in timo though and
it behooves all to retain the
Hinft faith in democratic prin
ciples until once more we shall
.meet the enemy. Profiting by
experience the party will need
to be rehabilitated and restored
to its pristine sublimity. De
mocracy 'committed an error
and lost the faith of home ol its
would be constituents in the
oonvention at St. Louis. The
party is greater than any indi
vidual ond should not allow it
self to be dictated to in its pol
icies by any one person. A
telegram seut to a democratic
oonvention while in sesrion is
not significant enough to de*
termine its course in an issue.
There are certain fundamen
tal principles which have been
with the party since the days
of Jefferson. These are eter
nal and will ever justify the ex
istence of the party. But time
brings along new issues that
must be decided upou. The
positions taken on theae should
be firm, dear cut and i>ositive.
Firmness creates faith, fickle
ness destroys it The demo
cratic party surely contaius
principles which should com
mend it to a majority of the
voters. By holding fast to
these principles, by avoiding
yham and inconsistencies the
party can and will will win out
We really have something to
look forward to
GOOD ROADS.
We have observed with sat
isfaction from the speeches of
our representative-elect, Hou.
J. B. Coffield, during the cam
paign, that he entertains the
intention of exerting his influ-
enoe in the making of laws for
good roads. We are glad to
have noticed too that the peo
ple of Martin seem interested
enough to have meeting* for
discussion on the subject. We
wish Bro. Coffieid every success
in his efforts along this line.
North Carolina, is mainly an
agricultural state, and uo state
or county can be developod to
a high degree without the con-
L ; strootioo and maintenance of
good mods. Ttay uc not ben
eficial to ur one dam but hare
a uniwr—l wlue wbidi counts
largely in the general «levelop
ment. The buineas of the
town* and cities is benefitted
•i much bj good roads as is the
condition of Ibe county, for af
ter ail most every department
of business is fed either direct
ly or indirectly by the country
and when easy access is not
had between country and town
there ix depression. The con
dition of the roads tend to di
rect the course of business. As
an instance, ikerj are people
who lire nearer Williamston
than W aahinirton yet who pre
fer to carry their produce and
their trading to Washington be
cause of the better road leading
to Washington.
Now Martin county sends
convicts to Kdgecombe twice
every year to work on the roads
of that county. For their ser
vice we receive mi remunera
tion whatever. Why could not
•Martin combine with Bertie or
some other contigious county
and employ its convicts in the
maintenance of its own roads.
We sincerely hope that the
feeling for good road* will not
die out before something is ac
complished in this line.
FT PATS TO ADVERTISE.
Every up-to-date business
man of today realizes the ne
cessity and of advertising. The
man who does not advertise his
business these days is marked
as a back number. He sees his
business gradually dwindle to
to small proportions while that
of his advertising neighbor in
crease*. The merchant who
thinks money is wanted by ad
vertising is not acquainted with
modern business principles.
The modern methiMls are stren
uous and one mu>l choose a
particular field and forge
ahead with all his might in or
der to be successful. If he has
goods to sell he must hunt for
prospective buyers and appeal
to them with persuasive prop
ositions. The passive merchant
waits for the occasional buyer
to come along and make known
his wants The active, ener
getic advertising merchant
up the buy* rs and often
by inducements and bargains
creates wants with them. He
doesn't give the people a chance
to forget or overlook his busi
ness. Appreciating the true
worth of advertising he allows
no week to pass a ithout plac
ing a new and attractive adver
tisement that will not only be
read but will make a lasting
impression on the reader.
Now there is no tatter medi
um of advertising ou earth than
the newspaper. The advertis
ing circular is mei ely glanced
at and thrown asi«!e for waste
paper, but the newspaper en
ters the home and is read with
iuterest by every member of
the family, and this is not
without its effect. Especially
are the results noticeable dur
ing the time pre* sous to the
holidays wheu everyone is in a
buying mood. If the business
men of William."'on will set
themselves to it an I get up ar
tistic and stimulating advertise
ments and place tl:em with the
ENTSBPRISB we will warrant
satisfactory result*.
We have securvd additional
help for our editorial depart
ment in the person of Prof. B.
T. Cow per. Prof. Cowper is
a fine writer, dear and strong,
and we teefcoufkiout that litis
addition will put Tt e Enterprise
in the front rank of North Caro

editorials began in our last is

The silent voters seem to base a
secret underbtsnding.
Application for membership in
Mr. Watson's new party may now
be filed.
It seems that nobody denies Dsv-|
id B Hill's right to the Boobv
Priie.
Judge Parker is so bnsy plowing
that be has no time topay attention
to politics.
Uncle foe Cannon certainly has
the right to feel that the House be
longs to him now.
_ It seems that a good many peo
ple did sot vote the way they
placed their bets.
The thing that is bothering as
much at the present time is the price

New fall lists for women sue

the high tide of onr prosperity.
The office holders in the Philip

that we should retain those islands.
A movement is on foot which

Our sympathy goes oat to the
poor spellbinders who wilt now be

seems to be squelching the liars
there.
Under the able leadership of
William F. Sheehan and David B.
Hill, Roosevelt's majority in New
York was kept below the 200.000

Harry Lehr,(the New York soci

Gen. Knropatkin having lost se
ven or eight miles bv his recent
"advances," it has been suggested
that he return to the old plan of
retreating.
Sir Thomas Lipton asserts that

A Philadelphia preacher says the

adds that we can now blame the

Mothers everywhere praise One
Minute Cough Care for the suffer
ings it has relieved and the lives of
their little ones it has saved. A
certain cure for coughs, croup and
whooping cough. A. L. Spafford,

says: "Our little girl was uncon
scious from strangulation during a
sudden and terrible attack of cronp.
One Minnte Cough Cure quickly
relieved and cured her and I can
not praiee it too highly." One
