THE ENTERPRISE fablished Every Tuesday and Friday by the ENTERPRISE PUBLISHI NG COMPANY I Williamston, North Carolina W. C. Manning Editor Subscription Price (Strictly cash in advance) H J year sl-50 ft months BO J 8 months . 45 • Entered at the post office at Williamston, N. C.. 1 as second-class matter under the act of March 3, I 1879. - ; Address all communications to The^Enterprise CONGRESS—AS USUAL Congress proceeded I 'W'do the little thing at the very' h'day s sitting About 3,00 bills and resolutions—more ; than two-thirds of them to pay special pen«ipnn to some fellow that a pen sion board found not entitled pen gjon—were introduced. In order to popularize themselves back home, Congressmen promise their constituents to do something \ for them, hence the rush to the pul>-| lie treasury to help them. For that reason they spend half their time tax ing the folks and the other half pay* [*—-• ing the money to their friends. This ia just one of the log-rolling schemes of our country. Every Con gressman picks a few of his friends and puts them on the list, tiien- all are put in one big batch and passed with a whoop. Yet we have a pen sion board and special investigators to look after these very cases. Some folks go so far as to say that thei special pension act is for the purpose of pensioning those who can't possibly get on the roll through the regular channels. PLAYING POLITICS It would be hard to figure oul a more brassy political stunt than is be ing played in the Christmas seal drive. Max Gardner, chairman of the drive is getting his picture in every paper in the State. Of course, the papers love to print Max's pictures-it makes the paper look better, because Max is handsome. But isn't it liable to make , partisans whoop for Max rather than create a real sympathy for the, ten thousand tubercular? in North Caro-j I Una. We hope the folks will be in I duced to buy Christmas seals, yet a: picture which would indicate the need ! of sympathy, such as a hospital scene, an emancipated child in need of a bottle of milk, or a sympatl|iy.ing nurse, would tune the human heart for the service of a gift more than; the picture of a man, though hand-; some, who wants to l>e governor. 666 Is a prescription for COLDS, GRIPPE, FLU, DENGUE BILIOUS FEVER AND MALARIA nar It Kills the Gersu 16 ATE TOO FAST Sm& Carolinian Took Black- Drufht For Indigestion, and Sftjs He Could Soon Eat Anything. Ballentlna S. C.—Mr. W. B. Bouknlght, of this place, gave the following account of hia use of ; Thedford's Black-Draught. "Just after I married I had Indi cation. Working out, I got In the J —. habit of eating fast, Mr which T *+ Moa paid by having a tight, bloated feeling after meals. This made me Vary uncomfortable.

HC-Ui -7itv£K, SOME MORE ABOUT OUR iOW.S, Dear Mr. Editor: After* reading the letter -of— i W- I'riend" in the "Letter Box" on a "Friendly Criticism" of December Bth! ii . I a thought actually ebbed and flowed' tiirough my cranium. At stated intervals a very promi-j nent citizen of your town sends out in vitations to various parts ol the coun-j ty, advising that a feast is to be giv en ut the Rchoolhouse in WiiliamsUm., When the appointed time rolls around,' generally on Saturday, the 1 oiks in vited begin to wend their way VVil liam.stonwurd. Of cotirse, all accept the invitation. Some ford their way, others dodge their way, while still ethers coast-line their way. As this group of people who adopt Martin County as their own during six or eight months of the year reach Williamston, various* thoughts arise. On ope occasionjthc observer saw, a Ford hitched to a—no not a "sCaKT but a—stump, attempting to |»ull it up; a house slowly but surely mov ing oIT across o lot, making toonr for. progress; « man painting a house; several men building houses; and many others/raking leaves and "po licing" their lawns. All 'of these tilings mean progress, and show that the natives like a clean town. Passing down the main street, bus iness houses on each side are seen. The Atlantic Hotel, the Peoples Bank, the big department store, the drug stores, other banking houses, the town hall, Hotel Britt, and otfler smaller business houses are noted. Paved streets and sidewalks are in lair condition. A line of beautiful trees may be seen in either direction, showing that some one long ugo, even j before some of knew anything about! Holiday Candy z: & Christmas Giving Candy is the expected ffift —because it is as much a part of the Christmas spirit as holly and old Santa himself. We have an especially fine selection of goodies for young and old that are de lightfully wholesome and delicious. Creamy chocolates, nut cen ters, bon bons, candied fruits, etc., in special holiday boxes. And for the kidllies, pure hard candies, fruit drops, pepper mint sticks and novel decorations for the tree. Clark - Bennett Drug Company ——""J this world and Williamston, were very thoughtful of future generations and planted shade trees. People make a city, even a small one. Therefore, a few observation", should be made about them. Although a stranger in the city by the lioan oke, a visitor is not a stranger-long, if he shows himself friendly. As you preSh your face close up to the show windows and see the clothes that "col logiates" do not wear, and later enter the same .store, friendly, smiling, cour teous gentlemen meet you, chat with you, and incidentally inquire if they may be of service. On the street the tame hospitality is shown. For some reason a feeling is experienced that makes a person desire to return again to Williamston. Does a person see what he lookf for, or does he look for.what he sees? -r- E. K. A ELI K. lioberijpnville, N.
