* PEACE AND PROSPERITY
Peace and prosperity ar etwo wordt
w ehear mentioned quite often bu.
fail to see and feel and practical!!
all the people are in earnest when
they proclaim the words. It ssoem.
strange that we do not get the.'
blessing*. The world has far less o
the needs of life than It had flv
years ago because production has beer
curtailed and it would seem that irmly
would overflow bu tit is not so.
channels of trade have been blocked
and the avenue throttled, this conn
tion is very harmful ami is ruinirv
many good honorable men. It is no (
only the prevailing condition in Amu
ica but itj is so in the known world
There is a belief that the cause is
Pt>ht between capital and labor in
which capital, in its efforts to latx.
a knockout, is destroying business ®f
every kind.
' Ihe universal peace talk disturb*
those fellows who make powder, pum
and • armament and for thatJ reason
they talk and write all manner o*
things about Jupan, Bussi nd any bod i
« lue that will tend to inflame the
minds of our people, the world todav
Is the victim of a few wealthy d»
su-nei who are ruling with a -most
despotic iron hand that has gripped
the people in a century and the peo
ple »ai;nct release themselves fror# j
j . veiful» yoke.
LARGE CROWD WENT TO BERTIF
ROAD MEETING
A large crowd visited Bertie Tue:
day for the Good roads meeting. About
two hundred Martin County peopl
•were in attendance but the Bertie peo
pie did not respond so well. Perhap*
it had not been so well advertised i'
Bertie as in Martin as we had beer
requested to send a large delegation
and we did so. Our people were im
pressed with the Windsor people, es
pecially Judge Winston, Mat
thews and others who showed them
every courtesy. They were very
grateful to the gentlemen who met
them with cars at the Bertie end of
♦he railroad. a«l took them to Wind

PASTURES SHOULD
NOT BE NEGLECTED
Pastures should not be allowed to
get weedy.
A mowing machine is the most ef
ficient implement for destroying the
weeds.
Do not graze pastures too heavily (
during the dry weather. v
A top dressing of nitrate of soda c
or its equivalent will greatly improve c
pastures for the present season. a
Cultivated pastures have given a 1
bundant returns this year. (
One man who had afine permanent h
pasture last season wished to know J
how he might prepare and seed the 1,
,land for this year, not knowing that
his pasture was permanent. The pas- t
ture was left alone the exception t
of manuring and if far better than u
last season. f
Two acres on one man's farm which \
was grazed until March 15th, yielded £
nine big two horse wagon loads ei c
choice hay June 15th and will b« a
used for pasture for the remainder \
of the year. v
Four hundred and ninety hogs have i
been inpculated in tlie last six months. c
There should have been*over four j,
thousand, as many sections are losing t
heavily from hog cholera. The qws- 1
tion is can a man afford to inoculate «
hogs these days? The'question is ]
'misput and should be, can a man af- i
ford not to inoculate his stock. Good t
rains in some parts have enlivened i
things generally and means thousands (
to Martin County farmers. " i

interview pointed out the opportunit: (
offered to young North Carolinians ti 1
attend the Citizen sTraining Canq c
at Camp Jackson this summer. I '
begins July 18th and lasts thirty days. '
This state has an allotment of fiv
hundred men. The Army takes every 1
responsibility from tho time the-appli— -
cant Signs up, pays his way to thr )
camp, issues him clothing, feeds hi: '
teaches him the rudiments of soldier- (
ing, provides him with amusements, '
and at the end of the thirty days pro- '
vides him a return ticket home. !
This is a rare opportunity foj*youi> '
men to secure thirty days of militn v (
trailing and an outing at the 3ame '
tivr e without jfost. The World War '
taught the value of n\ilitary training. 1
Every young man would he benefit- 1
