Any state who-e politics is doini at ed by the liquor gan>.', falls below the standard set by the foun lers of this great republic. We earnestly d.iire the redemption of Tuinessee The Democratic State Conven tion at Charlotte last week failed to nominate aji appointee of the gov ernor, who had made good in office. That was something new in the history of the party and may in the end prove an unsafe precedent Judges Manning aud Allen are both emrnentlv fitted for the position of Supreme Court Judge. Manning has measured up with the others, but the effort to defeat him proved successful. In the future it may not be expedent to reward a friend We print on the front pige an article from the Charlotte Observer in which there are quotations from the Wilmington Star. Both quota tion and comments are intertsting to our people in this section of East Cirolina. From time to time we have told of the wonderful advan tages of this great part of the State. Its possibilities are marve lous, but our people are slow to wake up to the fact thafa little thrift and energy is needed for proper development. Our own county is behind in seeking from the soil those riches which are stored there. This is a country hlessed of God and it should be our great aim to improve the ten talents ' aud more given us. The broadest commercial nues tiou for the citizen's of our County is that of farming, and for that reason-we urge the people of our County to attend the meeting to be held at the Court House on Au- gust 2nd, 1910, at 10 a. in. This meeting will he conducted by men from the United States Department of Agriculture, and we are quite fortunate to hive some of the very btst men in the entire department present at this meeting, it will be qf untold bene fit to our County if our farmers will apply, as much system and science to their work as the pro fessional man dots, and the farmer can learn more good ideas from the observations and experience of his brother faniitr in one day than lie could get,in a year from his'own observations. Fanners, come! Learn all your neighbor knows, put it to your own knowledge and you will be able tu make more at smaller cost, to live easier and moie independent than under the present plan of "spend all for fertilizers," before the crop is planted. Something must be done, start now! Conditions Contrasted There is much complaint about the dullness of the times. This is nothing mew, simply an old tale rehearsed each year.« We must admit that conditions are not such t as to make roseate the skies all the day, but then it could be worse. . 4 "Many of our neighboring courfties . fcave suffered more damage wiih'ii the past fire years than has Mai tin T- J*. - . in this or any previous year. But they have survived the test and the wheels of progress were not locked They have none forward toward thing sand have accomplished great er much.Take any of our exchanges from these counties and note the advertisements therein. This shows the spirit of growth and con fidence in business. I It is with humiliation, that we iniu-t record the fact that not a sin gle merchant in Martin county has an ad in these columns. We often wonder if the people think that we have closed our columns to the buMiie-s fi ms of Williamston aud Martin county In their minds there can be 110 other reason for a lack of ads. They Know there are large firms who desire to cater to the public wants. Perhaps, they conclude that tlie'-e firms wish to ke> p their stocks for another jear. At any rate, they are not being in vited to come in an J t-ee the bar gaii.s for cash We do not believe t! at our paper is to 1 young to Oe helpful in tLi> matttr, fur it Will so 11 reach its eleventh milestone. Through' all these years it has stood by the'.own and county— making its regular visits «.ie>i>itc* the nnp'eisant fact that those who could help and he helped gave not proi er support. 11 it does not piy to tell people of lbe good things, you have, then enohuous sums have been vv.it.ted by the most successful business men and by those towns which are tar in advance of us, though pos- sensing no superior a I vantages. It cannot be that our people do not want to sell sto.k rapidlv that it ii too warm to keep busy. They surely know that advertising will bring people to their store —to that there can be no denial. Tnere are two tobacco markets in Martin county as usual—one in Williamston, the other at Rober sonville. Greenville and Washing i to.i have markets al>o, and some of our farmers will go there unless they can have proper inducements to stay at home, Watch the pa pers published in those two towns and leirn what is being offered by the tobacco men and merchants. How are the folks to learu what 'Williamston and Robersonville have to offer? A sign on a tree at stated distances is an inadequate method. Who rides all over the country roads to read ads But the pipers reach the masses in 110 uncertain sound. CAX MARTIN COUNTY AFFORD TO LET OTHERS OUTSTRIP IT IN THE RACE FOR MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT? W e say it cannot, and we stand ready to lend our aid to every effort tending up ward and onward. WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT, BUSINESS MEN OF MARTIN COUNTY? It makts no difference howmanj medicines have failed to cure you, if \ou are troubled with headache, constipation, k'dney of liver trou bles, Hollistvr's Rocky Mountain Tei will make you well. Saunders Fowden. Citizenship and Public Health The essential difference bet ween the citizen and the savage is the expression in his daily routine by the former of the principle,. "No man liveth unto himself;" Tu:s bibieal axiom is the basis of civili zation, because it expresses a rela tion that law defines and controls. It-uaturally follows that the clearer om mental perception, the more distinctly will we recognize the | many and subtile bonds that unite our fortunes or into a web of weal or woe. Knowledge gives acuteness of mental vision, and, therefore, it is knowledge that opens the gates of a higher civiliza tion and gives to him who desires the opportunity to become a better , citizeu. The relation of Que man's pro perty. U> another's is easily recog nized, and is fiimly established upon universally "accepted pies of civil law. The relation of one mau's life to another has only within the last century beeu estab lished upon principles of natural law. But, as yet, the knowledge of these natural laws has not bten widely enough disseminated to produce sufficient public sentiment to weld them into our statutes. Man's greatest civic obligation is to the public health. This sounds : like the exageration of an enthu i .siast. Nevertheless, is rests upon those primary and fundamental principles of law for over four • thousand years have been the basis of civilization. Writ in tables of , stone bv the Supreme Judge Him self, these legal principles are so comprehensive as, toetnbrace man's every possible relation: His relation to the Court of Heaven; his relation to the court of the home, and his relation to the court of man. But note, and note carefully, that the first of the five rules governing man's relation to man is the law protecting life. First, not by hap hazard, but first by Omniscient design, because it is just as funda mental to the last four of these five laws as life is fundamental to chastity, property, reputation and neighborly comfort. Note further that "Thou shalt not kill" carries n*> j rovisions limiting its applica tion to the 5,000 deaths occurring annually in the United States through willful acts ot commission, and excluding the 500.000 deaths annually occurring in our country by an act of passive omission, livery citizen who d ies'not take a serious interest in the public health I ot his or lur community is a parti sin to thii criminal destruction of! life. Like Lady Macbeth dipping her blocdv bauds in water, we say, 4 Out! damtied spot," but it will, not out, fo/all the real and feigned ignorance an 1 iud Heretic; into ! which we submerge our individual and public "consciences. And now, la-tly, how can the conscious citizen—this does not in- | elude everybody—discharge this J obligatioi ? He can easily iufortn i himself, with a total amouut oi reading of not over ten hours, ot J the principal facts which will enable i one to take an active aud intelligent part in this work lie can be sup plied, without cost, with this litera ture by writing the Secretary of the State Boa>d of Health at Raleigh to pi tee his or her name on the mailing li.-t for the monthly Bulletin. He can read articles on this subject appearing in this paper monthly He cin vote lor alder men, counts commissioners, and legislators who are informed in regard to this important problem Soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or in jury, is quickly relieved by the free application of Chamberlain's Liniment.

She was a charming debutante, and he was a somewhat serious chap. Cou t crsatlon was rather fitful, so he de cided to guide it into literary channels. "Are you fond of literature?" he asked.

"Then you must ad mire Sir Walter Bcott," he exclaimed, .with sudden animation, "is not his 'Lady of the Lake' exquisite In its (lowing grace and poetic Imagery?

"And Scott's 'Mitrinlon,' " he cuutinu&l, "with Its rugged simplicity and uiar.velous description." "It Is perfectly grand," she murmured.
