NOfTCEABLE LACK OF
{ LONG SBEECHES ON 4th
OF JULY THIS YEAR
(By Julius 3.x Peel.)
Heretofore, our great and glorious
July 4th has been a day especially
suitable to the swarms of politicians
and windjammers who infest our fair
land. These human bunches of mis
tletoe have used our national holiday
whenever they could in order to ex
plain to the gaping multitude what a
great and glorious nation is America,
what great deeds of wonder and heor
ism have fallen to local heroes, what
a great future will be ours, and with
eyes partly closed, and enjoying the
sound of their own voices these same
orators have told you in mighty word.-
what great, patriotic and wise people
they themselves happen to be. After
which everybody is fairly warm and
hungry, and a basket picnic or barbe
cue is next on the programme—every
body is happy—and what a wonderful
day has been the Fourth.
July 4tfi, 1921, has been just u bit
different fro mthe usual cut and driwi
orations. The people are justly tired
of hearing so much talk, talk, talk,
and the public speakers, quick to
catch the drift of the times, have l»eeri
quick to make excuses, when called
upon to bo the ortaor of the Day.
know that the days of Bull are
rapidly passing and what the great
American public Wants is to be shown.
The Republican Presidential tarn

of meaningless worths that we ptain,
defenseless citizens haVe had to he a

friends that we would have "Nor

not know—unless it means that the
times would gradually grow worse, foi
"iioh is the true state of conditions

THE ENTERPRISE
CORN, .WHEAT AND
COTTON PROSPECTS
The com is genially reported i.
good condition and well advanced in
the main producing states, according
to the report of the United States Do
partment of " Agriculture, However,
the outlook ranges from poor to goo
in the eahtern and southern statics
In North Carolina, the growth of the
crop is stunted and the .stands are ir
regular, owing to the drought.
Harvesting of winter wheat is. pro
gressing in the leading wheat sti.,
while in the southern states, harvest
ing has been completed and throshinj
is being done. North Carolina report
the poorest yield in many years, due
to a cold spring, rust and drought
Deterioration of Spring VVheat, result
ing from drought, is indicated in the
principal states. Idaho reports an ex
cellent crop, and in Washington and
New Mexico, the stands are generally
good.
The cotton crop is .generally late,
and irregular stands are noted. Ex
cessive rains delayed cultivation in
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas and
boll weevil activity is found in most
sections. In the central counties oi
North Carolina the stands arc small
ditions are reported in the main cot
ton belt.
Foreign Crop Prospects
The outlook for the wheaf crop in
Canada Is extremely favorable and ti a
total area sown to wheat this year
shows an increase over 1920. Crop
prospects in southern France are gooit,
hut rain is needed in the northwestern
region. In the United Kingdom the
dry weathre has injured the crops on
tbe light, high-lying lands, but on the
heavier lands the outlook is fairly
gccq. Wheat generally promises well,
and the crop is strong arid healthy.
In Sweden, Denmark and to some ex-l
tent In German, crops ire suffering
fiom drought. Belgium reports indi
cate good crops, and in Hungary, Jugo
Slavia, and Rumania, heavy rains have
materially helped conditions and the
outlook is good. Up to the second
week .in June rain was needed in
India, and the government estimates
show n heavy decrease in the wheat
harvest for 1921 as against 15)20.
COLORED PEOPLE HAVE BIG DAY
The colored people of the county,
gathered at the Fuir Grounds in Wil
liamston on the Fourth where they
had a day of real fun. Foot racing
was engaged in by a large number
of boys but the shoe racing was per
haps the best of all the games. This
was a contest in which all partici
pants pull off their shoes, cast them
in a pile and mix them. At the giv
en signal each runner 'must And his
shoes, put them on and reach the goal.
The scramble for shoes in this, case
was strenous, Climbing the greasy
pole demanded botfi experience and
strength. The horse raring was poor
but the baseball game was all ri
Williumston beat the Groenville team
by a score of 6to 3. The day passed
off with nerfect ouiethess and gener
it! good behavior. The attendance
was not as good as was expected.
French revolution
The farmers practically own the
country today—but they have no con
trol over it. They are in the hands
of the food gamblers and speculators,
and the sooner they decalre their de
claration of Independence the osoner
will this country again lie a fit place
in which to live.
The Republican Congressmen are
mopping their empty heads and
wrangling over petty appointments to
office during these hot summer days,
and letting the issues remain
in the background. They are deaf anil
dumb when it comes to the glaring
facts of dishonesty and disorder which
surround us today, and the question
now before the people is just how long
are they going to stand for. tfcis sort
of rule.
And the saddest words of all, our
great Fourth of July Bull Artists have
nothing to talk about these days—for
they cannot praise the administration,
they cannot show any relief forthcom
ing for the present hard times, and
they cannot talk about themselves too
much, so a baseball game with a few
home runs Is the new . midsuhirfier
thriller.

TYPHOID FEVER
IS INCREASING
Raleigh, July 6.—Reports of eased
of typhoid fever received by the State
board of Health total 374 for the pres
eiit year as against 200 cases report
ed for the same period of last year.
In the same months of 1919 there were
297 cases reported. \
The evidence is that typhoid level
is more prevalent in tl\e state this
year than it was for the first half ol
either last year or the one before
that. An increase of eighty-seven per
cent in the incidence of this disease i.
cause fora general warning on the
part of the state Board of Health tc
the people of the state to immediate!)
take all possible precautionary meas
ures.
The best immediately available
measure of protection against typhoi.
fever is inoculation with the anti-ty
phoid vaccine which is furnished with
out cost by the State Laboratory
Hygiene. This requires three doses,
administered a week apart, and eon
fers immunity of from two to three
years. The treatment is available
through local physicians, health offi
cers, county physicians, and county
quarantine officers in every county iti
the state, and in a number of counties
energetic campaigns are J»ow beinn
carried forward in._ the endeavor to
have immunized a large part of th
population of these counties without
any cost whatever to the individual:
the county authorities having provid
ed for all expense incurred in -ucl
The very early spring this year if
probably one of the contributing
causes to the present prevalence oi
typhoid fever in the state. Marc),
this year was the warmest recorded
in the annals of the weather bureau
the month having had un excess ol
nearly nine degrees above the normul
average for the past twenty years
This unusual warn weather comii.
so early fh the year has greatly in
creased the length of the fly seasoi
this year, and Hies are the greate
distributors of typhoid.
In addition to at once taking the
full course of there treatments of ty
phoid vaccine for conferring iininun
ity against the disease, the state
Board of Health also urg#s thorfcui.l
ticreenin gagainst flies and all possi
ble measures for their destruction
and the installation of sanitary privii
in every, home where water sewei
age is net available.
THE NON-INTOXICATING CHAM
PION
"The fight of the century" went
strictly according to tho prophecies
of the experts. No human being, saii-i
one of the best o fthem the duy
fore, can give Jack Dempsey pound'
and beat him. Carpentier gave bin
16, yeighing in at the ringside at IT:
against Dempsey's-188. " The battli
was not so much a'triumph of boxing
skill as of superior weight and pow
er. In the second round, in partic
ular, Carpentier hit Dempsey often
enough, but he could not hit that 1 Hi_
pounds of bone and brbawn hard
enough to jar it.
Well, as Mr. Mencken so sapiently
observed, one does what one can. Car
pentieit put everything he had int
it, and he holds the distinction of hav
ing stood up before the champion long
er than many another fighter who out
weighed the Frenchman even more
than Dempsey did. For all his un
sportsmanlike boasting, the shipyard
ulumuns knows tha the has been in u
fight, which is something that could
not have been said Un referenci'* t
most of his previous battled.
And if there was no surprise in thf
issue of the fight, neither is there
any surpirse in the attitude of th>
two fighters. "America should b
proud of Bempsey," said Carpentier,
"he is a great champion."' "Perhape
I could have finished him sooner,'
said Dempsey, "but I was taking m
chances." The one is the utierrnci
of a sportsman, game, even in de
feat; the other the braggadocio of t
professional bruiser, who, not content
with victory, thinks he can heighter
hit own reputation by belittling the
effort of his opponent.
America retains the championship
but the glory goes to France.
France, losing, lost with a 100 per
cent Frenchman; while America's rep-
resentative, although he won, brinKX
no particular credit to this country,
seeing that his Americrthism runs a
bout to the figure favored by the
most widely known of our statesmen—
say, one-half of one per cent.
ORANGE "OVER THE TOP"
According to reports from W. Kerr

, I manfe county, Orange County has

AUTO RACING
/ HEREON 15TH
I The people of Kastern Carolina will
no uoubt have the opportuney of wiv
n.»sir.g the greatest thr'll of their
lives at the local,fair grourds in Wil
liamston on Friday afternoon, July
lf.th, for Captain Julius Peel has just
closed a contract with the Southern
Motor Contest Association of New
V >rk and Norfolk, Va., to race for
thousands of dollars of prizes to be
given to the winner on that (jjte.
These demons of the motor kflfffom
are preparing to make a tour of a
few southern towns before returning
| north, and Williamston is indeed for
tunate in securing these noted speed
| kings, to compete on the local course
here.
On the fourth 9f July at Norfolk,
before a crowd estimated at five thous
and people, these same racers gave
one of the most thri!lin| exhibitions
ever, seen there. There were 1(1 te
16 contestants in the races, ami many
of the drivers were internationally fa
mous. The papers gave an enthus
iastic write-up of'the daring and able
operation of these machines, which
number several foreign cars, and on
July 15th, the people of Williamston
and all of Eastern Carolina will have
the same opportunity of Witnessing
jUst such an exhibition.
It is estimated there will be fuHj
five thousand people to these races
and it was only at'great expense and
personal negotiations that these noted
racers were induced to compete foi
cash prizes at the Martin County Fa'
This will prove the greatest day
Williamston will have during the sum
irier, aniLif you want to have the thi il
of your life at a very small admission
charge, no doubt this will prove tin
opportunity.
Captain Peel states that particular
more in detail will be forthcoming at
an early date, and all about the hi
races on every) corner will he the sub
jeet of conversation in Eastern Caro
linß this and next week.
STATE COLLEGE LETTER
Ten thousand samples, each sam
ple representing a hale of the South'**
greatest staple, expe'rt cotton men do#
tailed as instructors by the U. S. De
partmeent of Agriculture, a strong
lecture start' drawn from the college
and extension forces in the division
of agronomy, and a large, modemly
equipped laboratory conveniently ar
ranged-as to light are some of the
facilities offered! for conducting the
course in coton grading now running
as a part of the State College Sum
mer School.
P. H. Hart arid J. I. Johnson, em
ployed cooperatively by the United
States and North Carolina Depart
ments of Agriculture, are in charge
of the practical instruction in grad
ing and stapling, whilp W. H. 4>arst,
head of the department of farm crops
in tho college, takes care of the lec
ture work.
The quality of the work being done,
together with the unusually high clasy
personnel of both the teaching force
and the large class taking the course,
makes this cotton grading school stand
nut as one of the most unique in th
country. The class is made up large
ly of men who have, for years, been
connected with some brunch of the
cotton industry, and these men state
frankly that in facilities for work
number of samples to be considered
and in the thoroughness wi«h which
the work of- each student is carefully
supervised, it would be hard to dupli
cate the course anywhere.
Instead of the usual seven or eight
standards found In cotton grading
schools, the men at State College art
using the full set of twenty official
standards designated by the 0. 8
■government. These consist of the
nine grades of "white" cotton, the
•five "tinges" the three "strains" and
the three "blues".
The course will continue througl
July 27. Men are entering every day
as it is possible to secure valuable
training even in an abbreviated course

LOOKING BACKWARD
/HH FUIHItE YEARS
(By Julius S. Peel.)
When the world finally becomes
ideal, and we begin living in a modern
Utopia, no doubt every county in the
State will have a Historian to record
the current events of such, immediate
section, giving in detail the happen
ings from day to day, with a little
spark of human touch to most of the
Paragraphs.
f Much could be written of William
ston for the memorable year of 192(1,
part of which would be serious anil
deal with the fallen castles of those
about us, and also there could be writ
ten many interesting little para
graphs, for instance:
"Herman Carrow trying to
make the Williamston League
Team—His two memorable games
before retirement."
Just think of the many local fans
in the days to come, when their hair
has lon gsince turned to grey, who
seeking the cool of their verandas ii
summer, or the warmth of the fire
side in winter, would enjoy to run
across this little paragraph, and vis
ualize in memory just the accosion
and the great amoutit of enjoyment
derived therefrom.
Then again those with past visions
of Williamston's great growth woul
find food for thought in such a par
agraph as this:
"The great mass meeting of
citizens of the town at the rooms
of the Lotus Club, , 1920,
met to consider the immediate
building of a much needed hotel.
There was argument as whether
this building should be of eight
stories or ten, and finally . the
meeting adjourned with a com
mittee appointed to decide the
matter.'-'
Now this little record would prove
humorous to some, and possibly sad
toothers, for there is a liklihood that
in even that far memorable age to
come, there will still be lacking such
a sky-scraper structure for William
stun, and our local boosters will still
feel the pang of disappointment, and
others with less vision will simply b
amused at the frivolity of the day.
We find now that any old scraps of
local history are highly relished bj
the present generation, and it is will
a great deal of pleasure that we read
of the antics and episodes of a hundred
years ago.
No doubt u century from now will
And even as many changes and im
provements as the past, and much can
be learned from the newspapers that
are daily filed for future reference,
but that liftle_ personal bit of local
history dealing with the joys and sor
rows of the day is what will most be
sought.
No newspaper in this day and time
would be so forward as to repeat t 1
personal feelings of its local citizens
not meant for publication, but some
historian might feel it consistent t
slip in between the lines, just a little
bit of gossip, such as this:
itress of the Enterprise, in per
sonal conversation enrphafTcally
stated she never expected to mar
ry, and that men bored her, in«
dividually and otherwise.
Now of course this will no doubt
prove to be just an expression of the
times, ami there would be many local
citizens who even from the events of
11)21 would possibly see again that
old adage fulfilled that says "Tis a
wise person who can change thrill
nitnd'*S and maybe too, their name.
WHY LIBERTY IS OPPOSED
Wilmington, Del.—''American mo
nopolists in the Phillipines are the
stumbling blocks in the way of in

"Such unimportant matters as self

NORTH CAROLINA BONDS FOR
SALE-BUY A BOND!
For building god roads and educa
tional and charitable institutions
North Carolina is issuing bonds in de
nominations of SIOO, S6OO and SI,OOO.
You can buy a SIOO non-taxable 6
per cent bond for SIOO and accrued in
terest, which amounts to $100.21. This
beats a 6 1-2 per cent tax-paying in
vestment. Bids for S6OO and SI,OOO
bonds will require a check for 2 per
cent of the amount bid. With a SIOO
bond no check is requited. There is
no better way to invest your savings.
