IF YOU WANT QUICK RESULTS USE A WANT AD IN THIS PAPER XXII —NUMBER 6 Williamston, Martin County. North Carolina, Tuesday, February 8,1921 CLOSER ATTENTION TO CHILDREN IS NEEDED • Are we teaching our children the right lesspns? A careful study of the acts and deedd of the children now being brought up makes us won der if we are doing as good as our fathers did in the way of teaching their children. litere seems to be a general lack ot manly and womanly self-respect In me present youth. In fact that splen did virtue seems to have been laid aMtie and a wanton substitute of it has taken its place which manifests itselt in impudence and pride. The virtue that was once the preachment ot our, lathers and mothers is now considered entirely unnecessary and we are of the opinion that the pres ent hasn't half of th re spect and interest in keeping prom ises, as did in the past. There seems to be so many giddy heights for chil dren to climb that they forget their obligations an«J let them slip by un noticed. Certain observation recently made proves to our satisfaction that old people who were .brought up to honor their Own promises with all their strength and being, l'ay small , ! ■»! on with much more certainty u„ s the young, giddy, pleasure ii . ik generation of the day. Cer tainly the people of today are as good as any ever lived, the trouble lies upon the shoulders of the old. We have shoved our sons and daughters to the front in such a mad rush with the hope that they would become i*r fect beings that we have missed every mark that we have shot at. It fs utterly impossible to raise a boy to be a rela man without a long grind of duty. It is the hard work and study which he does that makes his mettle shineand the girl that is raised with out duties and cares will be as far behind a real woman when she grow? up as an artificial flower is behind a flower that grows in the gardejy of nature where the chilling breezes of. spring and the csorchng sun of summer with the drenching storms give it strength, color and sweetness —all these and much more must be borne by every generation if it is to possess all of those noble qualities that we so admire in men and women. 'Jiuly pride and vanity hath de ceived us, they are not love. We must not let them spoil our children in the. guise and under the name of love fori our children. Do children love and re spect the home as of or Is It a dull monotonous den, where they are caged for a few hours while asleep only to be deserted as st>on as the morning breaks and they are permit ted to run at large for the whole day, partly to escape duties and partly to have the opportunity to do as he pluses. Many mothers would take deeper thought if their eyes could only follow that boy or girl through the various events of theday. We are wondering just when the time will return when we will again come in touch with our children, not in givinfr them more money, more privileges, more pleasures, more opportunities, butm ore in the spirit of care, come to them in love, stay with them, let them know of our interest in thetr welfare and knowledge, teach them respw't for the little and good things of life ,the things* that make men loved and honored for their deeds. There are too many boys in this age who seem to think it is smait to make money gambling and shotreut ting in every way. They" should be taught that the only pound of any value is the sixteen ounce pound, that the only dollar of any value is the one hundred cents dollar and that those procured otherwise will prove a curse. We must l»e more careful with oUr boys or very soon there will be too few men worthy of the mat rimonial hand of a good woman.

BROWN, Clerk to the Board ers seem to think It perfectly all right to strip their daughters and das hthem into society, for into so ciety they must go. Now too much progressiveness along this line Is pos sibly dangerous and perhaps a school of modesty would be a help to modern society. Before this nation and world can get back to what we all seem to want it to be, we must bring about many reforms. Not so many in the other fellow but in our own lives ami activities. We must make ourselves more acceptable citizens in the sight of God, our Creator and Preserver. It must be done, the question ia, when will we do it T ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of the estate of George W.

Governor Morri- t son states tha tthe measure that has come to lie known as the Doughton- Connor bill will lie satisfactory to f him (and presumably to lloli. He riot Clarkson who has, as chairman of the State association, dofie most of the t engineering and hard work on the I subjec'tfor months in preparing the I way for the enactment of a satisfac tory uml effective law), with some minor alterations which can be made } on the floor of the two Houses when the bill is taken up. In short, all the contending forces appear reached a common agreement and are 1 standing, together and that mentis the ] enactment of the law—nothwithstand- I ing the bad news of high rates for I money as brought back from New York by State Treasurer l.ucy, who got a good bargain after all in his sale ' of hondfl at six and a quarter pei cent, considering the conditions in the financial market just now.

Th tic k eradication bill has been set as the special order for Wednes day in both houses, and Qiere prom ises to be a long-winded debate. Some .of the eastern Senators and Repress tatives are greatly opposed to the hill and will fight it ferociously. Burgwyn, of Northampton, has tiodiued a hill to reduce the amount of household property exempt from taxation from S3OO to $25. Out it has no chance of passing.

DEDUCTIONS FOR EX-| CHANGE NOT ALLOWED The following bill prep tred by tin.-: Association allowing all State banks ' .to charge exchange for remitting clunks drawn on them, has been puss-j Sti by both branches of the General 1 Assembly anil is now a law of the State of North Carolina. Section 1. That for the purpose of providing for the solvency, protect- , ion and safety of banking institutions and trust companies chartered by this State and having their principal of- fices in this State, it shall be lawful for all banks and trust companies in this state to charge a fee, not in ex cess of one-eighth of one per cent, 1 on remittances covering checks, the minimum fee on any remittance therefor to be ten cents. Section 2. That, in order to prevent accumulation of unnecessary amounts of currency in vaults of the banks mnd trust companies chartered by this State, all checks drawn on said hanks and trust companies shall, unless specified on the face thereof to th • contrary of the maker of makers thereof, lie payable at the option of the darwee bank, in exchange drawn on the re-serve deposits of Said' drawee bank when any such check is present ed by or through any Federal Reserve Bank, post office, or express company or any respective agents thereof. Section 'A. That it shall be unlawful for any person, or persons, other than the maker thereof, to make, by rubber stump cir therwise, any notation on any check drawn on any bank or trust" company chartered in this State, the effect of which notation shall change or affect any condition or provision thereof aS created by this Act. That any person or persons violating this section shall be guilty of misdemeanor and upon Conviction shall pay a fine of not more than Two Hundred Hol lars ($200.00), or be imprisoned not more than thirty days. Section 4. That all checks drawn on the hanks ami trust companies in this State in payment of obligations due the State of North Carolina or the Federal Government shall be exempt from the provisions of sections 1 and 2 of this Act. Section 5. That no* officer in this State shall protest for njm-payment any check or checks drawn on any any bank wr trust company chartered b$ this State when payment is refus ed hy the drawee bunk soley on ue cqunt of ' failure or refusal of the the holder or- owner thereof to pay exchange charges herein authorized; and thete shall tie nu .right '.if ac tion either in state for refusal to pay any such check when such action is based alone o ntlie ground of relusltl to pay exchange or collection charges here in authorized. Section 0. That all laws in conflict with the .provisions of this Act are here hy repealed. Section 7. That thhis Act shall be ill full force and effect from and after its ratification. Local hanks have already received a message from the Federal Reserve Hank of Richmond in regard, to this this law which affect ( llie small small town hank, greatly. And since i the Federal Reserve stii linsisls that our hanks cannot charge exchange on , all items al the rate of one-eighth i of "one per cent, the local institution r will have to adopt the policyiulvocnt ed by Mr. V. !. Taylor, cashier of I .The Planters and Merchants llank in J "Everetts. Have our merchants' and business men advise their creditors to draw a draft upon the amount In volved,'thereby, dominating checks and the Federal Reserve. T'nless the Federal Reserve law is changed bene ficially for the little banks, hundreds of them will be Crushed. Small banks i are required by law to carry only .some SIO,OOO or $15,000 in cash and cash demands for weekly checks, will t not only take the surplus hut actually the needed cash in our community. We enclose herewith a copy of an amended Hill, introduced in the Legis lature of the State of North Caro lina, which may shortly become law. 7 You will see by its terms that the y Hill authorizes non-member Stute ii hanks to deduct ;in exchange charge when'remitting for checks sent them; and, if the checks are presented s> through an express company, u post I. office, or a Federal Reserve bank, to 1 refuse payment in cash ami tender ev il change in settlement , even though the check is presented by an agent in I person at the counter of the drawee hank. The Act also prohibits any no-! >' tary from protesting any check if the e drawee bank refuses to pay cash and 1 tenders exchange. >. Counsel for this bank is of thejip inion that such a law would be un constitutional; and that, therefore, in accordance With the'ddecision of the United States Circut Court of Appeals in an injunction suit brought by the \ State banks of Georgia against the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, if \ this bill becomes law, jt will still be the duty of the Federal Reserve Bank List of the Jurors \ for March Term Followng is the jury list for the March- term of the Superior court. 1 First week, third Monday in March: i Jamesville: A.

Copies mfiv be obtained only 'through collectors', offices, and are not lieing mailed from Washington." of 'Richmond, Under the Federal Res erve Act and the Regulations of the Board, to accept for collection checks ■(drawn upon non-mcmeber State banks in North Carolina, sent to it by its member blinks and other Federul Res sfi vt» banks, - anti- to eoltest- these checks at par, if possible, since under the above 1 decision of the I'nited States Circut Court and the opinion of the Attorney (ieneral of the Unit ed States, Federal Reserve banks cannot agree to permit a deduction for exchange. II this Bill is enacted and any non member State banks (relying upon It) refuse to remit at par for -checks sent them by us, we will declines to penhit any deduction foe exchange, and will, us soon as it is practicable to do in lawful money. If payment in cash is refused, we will decline to accept an exchange draftj and will return all checks upon which payment is refused with u proper notice of dis honor in lieu of formalprotest. The proposed law does not make it obli gatory upon non-member banks to deduct exchange! in remmiting, or to tender exchange drafts in payment of checks when presented by a Federal Reserve bank, express company, or t lm- post office , but simply authori zes-them to take .thataction. It is impossible to forsee how muuy State banks in North Carolina may attempt to take advantage of . this law, if and wh«;n eriacteiL To provide for that contingency and for the ful lest protection of our member hunks, we deem It advisable to notify them in advance of the course we shall feel called upon to pursue, and to ad vise them that there may be some unusal delay in presenting checks by agents at the counters of those banks ! whic refuse to remit at par. Conse ' quently we wish to notify all our ' correspondents that while wa will i continue to receive, if sent to us for I collection, all checks upon member : State banks listed upon our par list 1 and will present such checks as soon • as practicable we cannot be responsl -1 ,bio for the dalays occasioned by our 1 "inability, to procure agents to make ! presentation at the counters of the • drawee! banks within the usal time ! nor can we be responsible for the fail- I ure to procure a formal protest of such checks if, payment in cash is re ■ fused. *> Respectfully, ' i FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF i RICHMOND. i - > T HAVE SEVERAL..

ESTABLISHED 1896 MARTIN COUNTY MAN HURT IN GREENVILLE Last night Mr. John Leggett ,who hail curried tobacco to Greenville was crossing the street in that town awr the Center Brick Warehouse, Jus* as the night watchman was driving by and Leggett was run over by the j>asi* ing car. At an early hour this morn ing Mr. lA-ggett was just able to speak but his condition is so serious that his recovery is not expected. He is the son of Mrs. Jenny Leggett of Cross Roads anl lived and farmed with his mother. He went to France with the Expeditionary Forces and was badly wound so that he has been forced to use crutches when walking. The fault or cause of the accident has not boen learned and whether it was because Mr. Leggett was crippled andunable to get out of the way In the usual course expected or whether the driver was too earless we are not yet able to say. CONGRESS DOES ITS SPRING PLANTING U is estiniuted that the appropria tion necessary to supply members of Congress with lieu seeds this year wi.ll total initio,UUO, or $120,000 more tluin the last distribution. Just why these should lie known as "free" seeds is a nice question and will bear considerable explaining, but in view of the larger question of why Congressmen should distribute seeds at all, it will probably be well to pass up a debate over this matter of ter minology and get down to tho more important one of taxes. The facts are that the distribution of seeds by members of Congress Is a wasteful and needless practice. The seeds go to hundreds of thousands of persons who do not want them, will not use them and who merely throw them away. Like tho seeds of the .sower of the parable, some falf by the wayside and are eaten by the fowls, some fall on stony places and withi i away und son.e fall among thorns and are choked. Nome Congressmen refuse to hsv-j anything to do wit hthis travesty. They will send seeds upon request, but not otherwise. The majority, how ever, consider seeds excellent naig rprpaganda ami use all they can net- The publicf which hears a great deal about economy anil listen to a great many promises that public funds wil Ibe wisely administered, cannot but 'wonder why the distribution of seeds is not turned over to the De partment of Agriculture where it can Tie TuindTeiT intelligently? —_ Is it because these seeds are for votes and hot for crops?
