C. an Second etna* Mai) Matter. Friday, September to, lqoq. The farmers of tlirecountv are to be congratulated in having an op portunity to attend the farner's meeting in Williamston on ntxt Wednesday the 15inst. Among other lecturers will be Prof C L. Goodrich, wl o is oil" of the best equipped and most attrac ive tall ers 011 Farm Management. His talk alone will be worth the trip to Williamston. The correspondent of the News and Observer is wrong when he says that Onslow county is the only section free from pellagra. Dr. W. K. Warren, Superintendent of Health, reports Martin county free from the strauge malady. Not one symptom has been discovered in these parts. The general health of the county has not been better for years past. If imperfect corn produces pellagra, our people are Hot in much danger, for there is nothing purer nor sweeter than Mattiu county ' hog and hominy." Drainage is yet an mmolve 1 prob lem ii many sections of Eastern North Carolina. We have thou sands of acres of fertile lands which are uncertain in crop production, because they are not sufficiently drained. One of the most iti[>or tant movements which Las ever been initiated in our section, is the one for drainage, which was started several years ago. Our people are upon inquiry and wish to learn i«ore. Every farmer interested in this (and who is not interested), should attend the Farmers' Meet ing next Wednesday, September 15th. It is universally admitted by all thoughtful students of agricultural condition? in our section that our people must raise more Mock, par ticularly of cattle. At the Fanmr's Meeting on next Wednesday Sep tember, 12th, this sul>ject will discussed by two experts from the Bureau of Animal Industry, of the U S. Department of Agriculture. Mr. Sidney C. Tompson will dis cuss particularly the dairy industry, and the relation of stock in the im provement of soil conditions. Dr. Cooper Curtice will discuss partic ularly the eradication of cattle ticks and quarantine. It is hoped that this is the beginning of a movement to raise the cattle quar antine in Eastern North Carolina. An Important Meeting Congressman Small has arrainged an educational meeting for the tarmers of Martin county on Sep tember 15th. These meetings have been held for the past two years, and one can readily see the good The Time s past when it was thought that the farmer did not need to be educated. He needs not only to learn from books, but a practical knowledge gaiued in the study of soils, seed and cutivation. The government is putting its best men in the field to assist th» farmer in the advance ment ctf his work. Every fanner needs to attend these meetings. Money is being spent to carry th» work forward and we should have tW> benefit of. We want to see a large crowd of farmers come te the meeting on the 15th. There are very few who cannot l«!»ve the farm one day. Let us have a good meeting. The announcement appears on another page. Cook and Peary. Now it is too bad that Peary will probably dispute the claim of Dr. Cook. What good is the old pole anyway? Not even Roosevelt will care to hunt on that 30 000' acre preserve, and Uncle Sam has land enough to grew millionaires upon. No squatter will ever ramble that way, and the pole would have re mained in position without the in terfertnee of Cook and Peary.

Then (he school boy will soon R«t a new geography in the place of the o'd worn-out one which has been u;-ed by all those going before. Expert chefs will be able to in- crease their'"pile" i.t big dinners given the explorers,'and Mesdamts Cook and Perry will teel less like widows. So the pole will serve a purpose alter all, thtafrKh a di-pute dyes come Somebody has seen something up there*on this old earth's bald spot. There is glory enough for each man. Let's have peace. Shall We Have Electric Lights? As the question of lighting the town by electricity has presented itself for consideration, ThK" En- TKRPRISK, like the average citizen who is not asked for an opinion, would like to ask a few questions relative to same. First, we wish *d be numbered among that class of citizens who are liberal, broad and conservative and always willing to submit to the demands of the people. If it can be shown that an ekctric plant owned and operated by the town will prove "IjcueficiaT"aljd "noFbur" detisome, then we stand ready to approve of the installation. We are told that it will cost not less than $7,000 to instill the lights, which would be raised by municipal bonds This sum would put in the plant, wire the streets and run the mains. The cost per yepr for main taining same would $3,500, this does not include expense of any repairs. To this add SSOO per year for interest on the bonds, making an annual expenditure of $4,000 rain or shine. For this amount, we are told the town can be lighted, how well, can not yet be determin ed. The revenue from private lights is an uncertain basis fiom which to figure. Each light in a home will cost al>out per year, and to wire each buldtug will cost the owner from S4O to $75. We cannot think that all the homes in the town will use these lights. again we already have a bonded indebtedness of ss,roo for Graded School, $13,500 for Town Hall, to winch add $7,000 and we have a total of $25,500 These debts must be paid sometime, and the interest is $1,500. To this must be added $1,900 for a sinking fund it the bonds are 25vear bonds ThijS makes an annual cost of our bonded indebtedness $2,500, add same to the 1 cost of school and town ami-we have a total of $5,500 yearly. This amount is oply about #?,000 less tjian tne entire county of Martin pays for its cate of the poor, maintaining County Home, its roads, bridges, courts, board and care of pristtaers and every other item of county expense. The county has a taxable property of more thau Jj^.oo o . ooo , while the town has about two-thirds ol a , million. Wilt it pay? We admit that we do not know. Hut surely the items of expense shown bv electricians will all turn up, and perhaps, like all other things, exceed the estimate for nature may often bring destruc tion It usually costs S6O 00 per year for an arc light on a moon light schedule, and $75.03 is con sidered moie conservative. Td satisfactorily light the town would take not less than twenty urea and, perhaps, a dozen smaller lights in the section from which very small | tax is derived. Are You Living hi the Cobweb Kingdom? There are cobwebs on the windows, There are cobwebs on the door, There are cobwebs swinging, swaying From the rafters to the floor. Now the place is Cobweb Kingdom, Though it used to be a store. Ff tbe Cobweb Kingdom's ruler Were a man discreet and wise He would have no cobwebs swaying, Swinging round and catching flies; He would crowd his store with buyers- He would simply ADVERTISE!

Its the greatest healer on eatih Sold bv A 1 Druggists. We are told that a town canimt prosper until it gets in debt, that you must loatl it to make it service able,. This may be true, l>ut many fine ships have gone down because they were overloaded. There is danger in getting tax bur dens too heavy to carry, especially for luxuries' An educational debt is not burdensome for education is the bed rock of our liberties. The debt on the Town ll.ill is .still oil's and there is necessity of pro ceeding slowly. We w >nl 1 like to hear from the people on the ques t.UIJ. Very Bad Cough. Pe-ru-na Stopped \t DAUGHTER OF MRS. J, M. BROWN. Mrs. J. Mi Brown, Dunnotrnn, Mo., writes: "My little daughter, three years old, was troubled with a very l>ad cough which remained after an attack of catarrhal fever, Which was a great deal worso at night.
