PUBLIC ROADS AND IM/mORA noN. ' * " * _ The State of North Carolina ii at the present time extremely in terested in the subject of immigra tion and through its several depart ments is making considerable ef fort to bring certain classes ol .Eur opean immigrants into the State, It is not the desire of the state to simply obtain an influx of labor but to obtain an influx of borne seekers to become citizens of tbe State aud at the rame time furnish the kind of labor that is needed. We desire the better class of home seekers and these will want and demand school facilities for their children and good roads to connect tbem with town and rail We do not only want European immigrants, we want to attract the Americans of other sections of ;the United States to the South to in vest in our farm lands, our water powers and our manufacturing in dustries. Good roads ure of vital importance to this class of men A man examining a farm district with the intention of investing in a farm will be more favorably impres sed with the district if be can be driven to his destination over a good road so that his entire atten tion can be given to the farm lands that he is passing. On the other hand if the road is poor, as, so many of our North Carolina roads are at the present time so that his atteution is constantly being called • to the road by reason of holes, ruts stones and the general iuconveu ces of the road over which lie is obliged to go, he has little thought for the beauties of the country or the value of the farming land aud his chief desire is to get back to the city aud railrotid. There is no doubt hundreds and even thousands of good laruis in Noith Carolina remain wholly or partially uncul tivated on account of the very jioot condition ot the rouds connecting them with town aud marker There is a certain class of imuii grants that would probably pay little or no attention to the road* in the districts in which they might settle; but is this the class of im migrants that North Carolina de sires to have located within hei borders? We can say emphatical ly, uo. Hut we do desire those immigrants who will want und de maud good roads, who will take u pride in keeping these roads, who will become public spirited men aud instead of making the road* dumping grounds for waste mater ials of all kinds, clogging the ditch es with trash, stones, brush, etc., will take pride in keeping the roads where they pass their farms clean, grass and weeds cut, and remove waste material instead of dumping it Into the roads. ••THE COW nUST KEEP OFh THE QRASS. The people of Williamstoti are agreeing that cattle running at luge on the streets of the town is not only a nuisance at night, but a nnisance in the day as well. Since OUT last issue several of the moat prominent citizens of the town have expressed themselves as being pleased with the stand taken by The Enterprise relative to this •object. Many of them are savi ing that cows running on the streets is not only a nusiance both day sod night, but a positive dis grace that the town should be ; made a cow pasture. One of the moat hifli—of these gentlemen —id- "Keep up the fight and we will get rid of this ouisance-^tbe /vw wtMtff Wrn a# tb# fnoi '» HON. JOHN H. SMALL. In referring to the nomination of Hon. Jno. H. Small for Con gress on Thursday of last week, the News and Observer of last Sun day among other things says: "No member of Congress from North Carolina in this decade has shown btoader vision, more versa tile capacity or greater fidelity to the interests of bis constituents than the lion. Juo. H. Small, of Washington, who yesterday receiv ed hit fifth nomination for Congress by the democrats of the first dis trict. Like all his other nomina lions it came to Mr. Small unani s . r r " r ■ ' " tnously and with a heartiness that must have been gratifying to him and his host of friends. He is not, only a man of ability and well fur nished, but is a very genius of in dustry. No matter touching bis constituents is too small to receive his careful attention, and yet he has such large faith in the future development of tbe sound section as to cause him to dream great dreams and to set in motion influ ences to hasten the development ol that future truck garden of the South. Many of the farmers of this county are improving their lands each year, and are Incoming con vinced ot the fact that the "inten sive plan is more profitable. If everyliody in this school dis trict will co-operate with the board of trustees and the faculty of the Williamston graded school the next session will be the most suc cessful in its history. The mouth of August is the time appointed for the "yearly meetings," and already there are many |>eople planning to attend one or more of them. It is also the time when some of tbe other denominations give their pastor a vaeat ion. It is reported that the crops in Martin County are in good con dition. Owing to the excessive dry weather the planters of tobac co were unable to get a perfect stand; but they all seem to be very far from being discouraged as the final results. This is a 'good tiuie tor every one of them to sub scribe to The Knterpri.se, a paper which shall" lK* largely devoted to their interests. S|>euk a good word' to your neighbor for your county pa|>er. It will cast you nothing, and may l>c the means of putting u morally, and we trust an up-to-date weekly newspaper in every home where it should go. No |>erson in Martin county can possibly keep up with the movements ot his neighbors without reading The Enterprise. Let us have a lively campaign in tbe interest of every body's paper.

This the hunter al ways undertakes at night, so that no oiie may observe hla style. These are not the only requisites, but Strength and agility as well are necessary, The hunter must be a man of action and have the confidence of his followed..
