C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15. 1913 Opeaiaf Day On next Wednesday, August 20th., the tobacco sales for the season of 1918 will begin on the market here. Careful prepara tions have been made to equip the market along with the best in North Carolina. Both the Dixie and Roanoke Warehouses have been put in excellent con dition, and a full crops of men will be on hand to see that every pound put in either place is cared for and sold to the best advantage. There is plenty of storage room for the crop which will come to this market. The Dixie Warehouse under the management of James G. Staton and J. W. Hight, and the Roan oke under Will James, Eli Gur gan«6 and Joseph Taylor are the places for the farmers to get high est prices, courteous treatment and careful handling of their weed. The market bere has since its first day of sales, given the farmer the top of the market for any grade put on the floors of the houses. The crop is fine this year, and the prospects for good prices ex cellent. Williamston has good roads over which the teams can haul, and every man will be wel comed with honest pleasure to come here thd get splendid re turns forjhis labor during the season. No market in the State will have a better corps of buy ers— all {the big companies will have experienced representatives to take the farmers' product at the highest prices. Some of these buyers are well-known to every tobacco farmer in the county, and all of Martin, Bertie, Pitt Wash ington and Beaufort know the warehousemen. Bring them a load next Wednesday and other loads will be sure to follow. Cross Roads Won The election to for or against good roads in Cross Roads Township was held Tuesday and resulted in a great victory for progress, as the vote stood 23 against and 90 foe good roads. The campaign was waged vigor ously by the advocates of the measure, and the opposition was never strong. The people in the township realized the value of good roads and perhaps seventy per cent of the voters signed the petition to call the election. Looking at the matter in that light, the township is the banner one in the county for better high ways. Tuesday at the voting place, Eyeretts, a big barbecue was given and whether you voted for or against the bond issue, plenty of the "cue" was served in good old Martin County style. There were 200 people to partake pf the good things. The election was featured by perfect good feeling, and so the day passed without incident. This will make the third township in the county to vote for roads and will link the roads of Williamston and Rober sonville Townships. Embroidery Club Miss Nannie Biggs entertained the Club at her home on Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 o'clock. Miss Anna Strong, of Raleigh, was honor guest The time was pleasantly passed in conversation and stitching on dainty pieces. The hostess served sandwiches, tea, cream and cake,, and each guest was given a basket, the handiwork. of Miss Penelope Biggs, and these made pretty as well as useful favors. The next meeting will be held with Mre. Kader Crawford on August 26th. at 4 o'clock instead of 4:30 as previously. - v. . , v m ■ ■ „ .. . v a •. J7 •», f , I: t. it Dr. Garter to Visit Here ; Editor, ENTERPRPRISE:— It is a gratification to be able i to announce that Surgeon Henry R. Carter, of the U. S. Public 1 Health Service, will visit a num ber of towns in Eastern North Carolina, in the interest of sani tation and health. Surgeon Car ter is one of the well recognized experts ot this and other coun tries in his knowledge of malaria and the conditions which produce this disease. It has been demon strated that a person suffering from malaria, or chills and fever, contracted the disease through a mosquito. As Dr. Carter has stated in a treatise on the subject, "the direct cause of malarial fev er is the presence of an animal parasite in the blood of the per son developing it. This parasite is introduced into the blood by the bite of a mosquito, which has been rendered infective by bit ing a man himself infected with malerial parasites, and only thus is it introduced? Surgeon Carter will investigate and ascertain the breeding places of mosquitoes and outline a plan by which the municipal authori ties may eradicate these bearers of disease. He will remain from two to six days in each town vis ited and at the close of his visit he will deliver a lecture illustrat ed by stereoptican for the bene fit of the profession and the citi zens. Surgeon Carter will visit the towns of Elizabeth City, Hertford Edenton, Plymouth, Washington, Greenville, Williamston, Ahoskie Newbem and Goldsboro, in the order named. He will begin his itinerary at Elizabeth City on Monday, August 11th. He can not now name the exact date on which he will visit each town, because his stay at each place is indefinite, depending upon the local conditions. A day or two before completing his work in the respective towns, he will wire to the Mayor or [Superintendent of Health of the next town naming the date of his arrival. It is an ticipated that thirty days or more will be required to complete his itinerary. Dr. W. S. Rankin, Secretary of the St&te Board of Health is co operating actively in this import ant work of sanitation by the U. S. Bureau of Public Health. In addition, the Mayor and the Sup erintendent of Health of each town to be visited have request ed this visit from Surgeon Carter. This important public service was only made possible by the direction of Surgeon General ilu pert Blue of the Federal Public Health Service. Dr. Blue was only appointed to this responsible position withm the past two years, and he earned this distinction through many years of brilliant work in this Service, during which time he had immediate charge of many cases of serious epidemics throughout thy country Through his wise policy the Pub lic Health Service is becoming a potential factor in the improve ment of the public health, parti cularly in the line of preventable diseases. It may be mentioned incidentally that Surgeon General Blue is a native son of North Carolina. The Surgeon General and Dr. Rankin unite in asking the intelli gent and active co-operation of the Mayor and the Board of Al dermen, the health officials, the physicians and the citizens gen erally of the respective communi ties to be visited by Dr. Carter. Thus only can their appreciation 'be made effective. 1 would like to emphasize the good fortune of these Eastern towns in securing the detail of Surgeon Carter for this important work. No sanitarian in the country is better equipped by ex perience and study. Surgeon Carter was the Chief Division Commander of Col. Gorgas in the sanitation of the Canal Zone. He had immediate charge of the work of stamping out malarial and yellow fever in that fever stricken section. The story of the conversion of the Canal Zone from a place of disease and death to one of health fulness is familiar to all intelligent readers. I beg to add my own humble opinion relative to the importance of this service to be rendered Eastern North Carolina. The prevalence of malaria, to say nothing of the suffering and ill ness which it produces, so im pairs the vitality and efficiency of its victims as to entail an enormous economic loss. This amounts to hundreds of thous ands of dollars annually. If our town can be taught how to re move the cause of this disease, the good work will gradually spread to the rural sections. What a great blessing would be vouchsafed to Eastern North Carolina if malaria can be reduc ed even 50 per cent. Surgeon Carter entertains no doubt that it is within the capacity of any of these towns to reduce it even 90 per cent, or even to secure immunity. , Very respectfully, Jno. H. Small School to Open The Williamston Graded and High School will open on Monday September Bth., and it is desired that every pupil who wishes to secure a seat will be present on that day and register. The Com pulsory Attendance Law will be enforced, and parents and guar dians should pay attention to the requirements, so as not be subject to the penalty for non-compliance with the act. All children from eight (8) to twelve (12) years old are compelled to attend unless such excuses as the law allows are accepted. W. C. Manning is Attendance Officer for the Will iamston Township schools, and all cases of non-attendance must be reportedto him by the teachers. The Faculty of the Williamston school will be: Superindentant, J. T. Jerome, Principal, J. D. Howell, Mrs. J. T. Jerome, Miss Nannie Biggs, Mrs. W. H. Harrell and Miss Annie Mizelle. Shall We Hare AMaria Congressman John H. Small has arranged to have Dr. Carter visit Williamston during the time which he will spend in Eastern Carolina making inspection of ma larial causes. Dr. J. C. Rodman, of Washington, has been appoint ed to accompany him, and their visits are designed to be helpful to any comiAunity. We are pub lishing a letter from Congressman Small in this issue, and our read ers can get full information from a perusal of that. It is necessary, if we would get full benefit from the visit of Dr. Carter, to give him all the support, information and listen carefully and obey the in structions which he will give in a public lecture. The town govern ment and the Health Officer should co-operate with him to do the community good. While it is true that so far very little malaria has made its appearance here this season, it is always wise to fortify even in times of peace and secur ity. A man is never his own worst enemy so long as he can keep his temper. Robersonville items Miss'Ferral Peele, of Marion, S. C., and Miss Inez Gainor, of Kinston, are visiting Mrs. J. H. Roberson.

Lived Here It may be interesting to local ball fans to learn that Pitcher Hedgepeth, who is playing such splendid ball for the Petersburg team, spent several years of his earlier boyhood days in Wiiliam ston. His father was one of the pioneers in tobacco culture in Martin County, and no man has raised better weed since he left here to settle in Hobgood. Young Hedgepeth was a bright, active boy, but gave no promise of be ing the idol of »the grandstands some day. He entered the U. N. C. College afid there his career as a pitcher began, but did not end as is shown by the daily papers. Sunday night his picture was seen in the sporting section of The Washington Post.

Thirty Babies Die Every Minute Of the 55,000,000 babies born every year, 15,000,000 of them die before they are a year old, according to the statement of Edward B. Phelps at the Interna tional Congrass on Hygiene and Demography in Washington last fall. This means that 40,000 babies die every day, and the United States contributed 1,000. In Sweden and Norway, where nearly all babies are breast-fed, the infant mortality is smallest. Dr. William H. Davis, of Bos ton, said that the deaths of in fants would be decreased 60 per cent if no babies were fed from a bottle. Other speakers said that half of the infant mortality (is preventable. HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy Liver is Necessary to Good Looks and Youtfafulness One of the best known women of the American stage is writing a series of articles on the preser vation of beauty.

Neither good looks nor happiness will stay long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish. It is not always safe to take calomel, the old liver remedy- Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain drug.
