Thus the Hun has darkened the home of a Williamston mother, sister and aunt, and scorej of other relatives and friends. I.ieut. Hassell is the first and only young patriot of litis County, at a this writing, to make the su preme sacrifice for Ins country s defense and honor, and was in deed a spendid specimen of M.ir tin Count'ys manhood. For several years John W, lias sell was managet of the Fnter prise. the firm at that lime operat ing under the name of Manning ft Hassell.

No doubt many of our readers will be glad to learn the full meaning of the (ierman word "kultur. We refer them lo Walt Mason's definition appearing in another column of this paper. I-, askiag a gentleman's opinion of a project sneaking in the back door at mid-night and telling linn that Somebody is trying to raise his taxes? And especially when said gentlemen are among the best business men ot. their State. Martin County farmers whocitn template sow.ing wheat this fall should communicate with Mr. Franklin Sherman, Cheif of kn tomglogy of the Extesion Service, Raleigh,'in order to ascertain the proper date for sowing to escape the Hessian Fly anil to avoid win ter killing. Martin .Qounty should secure the services «»F an official' And ex pert grader for its cotton crop. With the cooperation of the State our County Commissioners ran jjet an official grader. tor sioo. As will be seen from an article in another column the services of the official grader will save'thotp sands of dollars the farmers of Martin. __ V The Federal Reserve Bulletin of the Fifth Federal Reserve Dis trict in its review ol business con ditions for August reads in part as follows: "Tobacco promises another good yield, highQ>rice* seem assured and tie monetary return, a* was the case last year, will run into millions." Which just another way of saying "don,t pl sell jour tobacco to speculators, grade it yourself and sell It on I the floor of some good warehouse I if n-you want the full value of your crop.'' Williamston has four i GOOD warehouses and the nian-Jj agers have arrand«rl to help you | wuh your grading if you need t their aid. The Williamston To bacco market has served well the people of Martin ami adjoining Counties for many years and are perpared to serve them even bet ter this vear. Kultur me what this ' kultur" means, that's boomed by I'russi an kings and queens? Well, slay ing babes with submarines, that's kultur I make a solemn pledge today and later think it may not pay, whereat 1 throw the pledge away that's kultur. I see the Red Cross banner 11 y above a shed where sick men lie; I b imb the shed, and they all die, that's kultur. 1 line myself with brutes and beasts, I give the vultures daily feasts, I burn down church es, hang the frieats that's kul tur.

I claim that butchery is wise, that tears are good for human eyes; I swear to all ungodly lies that's kultur. Oh, think of all that's wrong and foul, of sins that travel cheek by jowl, of kings who strut while subjects howl that's kultur. And think of all the homes destroyed, the fair fields now an aching void, of those by treachery decoyed - i that's kultur.

Official Cotton (iraders May be Secured—County Should Take Action Raleigh. N. ('., July The pro per and impartial grading of cot ' "ii is even more important this season than it has been in the past, owing to the fact that there is such a wide range in price be tween the different grades. The quoted difference between Good Ordinary and Good Middling at the present time is 11 oents per pound, or s(io per bale, and com pares with a normal difference of about sls per bale. L/iw Mid dling is quoted r» cents per pound, or MJ6 per bale below Middling, and cotton marketing experts say that there have been thous ands of bales of Middling sold as Low Middling in North Carolina. From this it can be seen that a little undergrading this season will cause a vast amount of loss North Carolina cotton producers can protect themselves from the possibility of this loss, provided their commissioners will make a small appropriation toward se curing official cotton graders pro vided by State Cooperation in Marketing Work, states Mr. 0. J. McConnell, who has this work in charge. Citizen? who wish their county to secure the grad ing service should see the com missioners at once and urge them to make the necessary appropria tion at the August meeting in order that the graders be given ample time to perpart to render the most efficient and satisfac tory work. Amounts which counties are required to appropriate in order to receive the service vary ac cording to-the production of cot ton in the county, , An expert grader can be se cured for Martin County's crop for #IOO. In Mcmoriam 4 In sad but loving remembrance of our dear son. Ounders Glei n Whitley, departed this life ' months ago. May 24th, IJUd. In memory I can see the one 1 lov !edso dear So clear his'vision grows to me that sometimes I feel that he is near. How sadly I have counted the hours thatj measured two sorrowful months since they laid him beneath the sod--my dear beloved boy;, mv boy who was so near has fled from me; ro voice to hear, no . heart to cheer, since God called him home- By his heartbroken mother. tikIIRGIAN SAYS IT'S WORTH THOUSANBS Declares Tan lac Restored Health After 20 Years' Suffering "It's worth thousands of dol lars to feel like I do now. since Tanlac has taken away the trou ble that kept me in misery for the last twenty yearH," said M. B, Daniel, a well-known farmer living on Route 2 out of Abbe ville, Georgia, a fiw days ago. "Whenever a man suffers as long as I diil, he gets to the place where he feels like he's no more good in this world." he eontinu ed, "and that's just the way I had begun to feel Ijong ago I couldn't carry on my work, for spells of stomach trouble and nervousness just made it torture for me to eat and the trouble I had wouldn't let me sleep at all. Mv heart acted queer until I was afraid it was going to stop. "I'd been well enough satisfied to have had my sufferings re lieved, but that's not all Tanlac did. I've gained eleven pounds besides, I can eat as heartily as if I had never had stomach trou ble and I can do as much work in a day as I ever could. I just feel like a new man " Tanlac is sold in Williamston exclusively by l)r Knight; in Hassell by the Salsbu/y Supply Co. and in Hobersonville by Can non's Pharmacy : "'v Use For Worthless Dogi Secretary Dunn of Winston- Salem board of trade learns that the war department wants all stray dogs that they can possible get for experimental purposes on new gases Uncle Sam intends to use on the Germans. Realizing that there are in the State of North Carolina thousands of dotfs running loo«e, fed, and owned by nobody, and that they could serve this patriotic purpose, he wired the war department asking how many do#s could he used from this state in testing «as Today he received the fol lowing telegram from the war department: "Will he Rlad #et dogs two weeks from thh date Will he able to handle at least KM) do/a per week. Will send crates your orders ' Secretary Dunn thinks this is a rare opportunity . for North Carolina to get rid of her worth le9B curs Secretary Wilton Give* Reason (or Labor Mobilization Secretary of Labor Wilson makes this his explanation of the general mouilization of labor for war industries, recruiting for which is to begin August 1 un der direction of the United States Employment Service: "Beginning with common la bor, this service will gradually take charge of the mobilizing and placing of all labor for war industries employing UK) or more workers This will profoundly alTect all other industries and other workers. It will correct the abuses and the troubles growing out of the large labor turnover with the consequent disruption of regular work. "Every safeguard must be taken to protect the standard of living and the morale of the wage earners. Especially must great care be taken to keep the ane limit of those who enter in dustry at a high level, lest we rob our future citizenship of its right to growth and time for ed ucation. We must also take know ledge of the dangers attendant upon the large entrance of wo men into heavy and hazardous industries. "The exigencies of war time 3 should not be made the occasion I for the breaking down of those standards of hours, wages, and conditions of work which are de nned to protect the childhood, , the womanhood, and the mother hood of the present and of the jfuture "Kxperts tell us it takes from : 6 to 10 workers at home to keep | one soldier on the firing line in Europe Whatever, therefore, helps to mobilize, distribute, and energize those who do the work of our war industries has become as important a factor in winning the war as the prowess of our ar mies in the field or our Navy on jthe seas."
