THE ENTERPRISE Published Every Tuesday and Friday by the ENTERPRISE PUBLISHING COMPANY Williamston, North Carolina 1 W. C. Manning —.— Editor Subscription Price (Strictly cash in advance) lyear - sl-50 6 months t— ~ 80 3 months -45 Entered at the post office at Williamston, N. C.. as second-class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise Just how far our thoughts go and where is a matter to be learned thru the tired and overworked postal em ployees. But one place few of us have even ventured to think about and that is our own County Home and its in mates. A place where the smallest of gifts will be appreciated and yet how few we give to those not so fortunate as we. It is no less than a shame. But is it our intention to ignore them or is it that we do not have them called to our attention? What ever it is we should remember them and help to make for them a Merry Christmas. T ie other day we hJtypened to see an old gray-haired man who had lost his sightf bt'ing led down the street by a small chijd. The little guide was hardly six years, poorly clad but was noble in his actions and Was bearing his misfortune with a manly air. The sight brought to our minds a picture that has caused us much fuel for thought. We lost our sympathy for the old gentleman when he cursed the little child for no reason that we could see. The little fellow tried to offer a reply, but his tottering voice and in a most pleasing tone was quieted with a sharp "hush" from the old man. As they went walking down the street, we could not help but follow them a short distanct, and as they faded from our sight our sympathy followed the little lellow. We turned and while we could not forget them, .we dismissed all our other worries and went our way real izing how thankful we should be and bow much we would like to help the eld gentleman's little guide. Too much rope always means de struction to man. The sad thing for us to face is the fact that this is an era of too much loose rope for the young people of this country. We have very little trouble in tracing much of the crime and many of the falls of the day to child worship. We had a court scene here last Tuesday that bore out this fact. Six young men, three white and three black, one wearing knee pants, were brought before the court, charged ■ «r with stealing cotton from the fields of the neighboring farmers. The three youngsters had procured a truck and ATWATERKENT W "T NEVER THOUGHT I X would live to COAX a (rand organ recital out of something about twice as large as a cigar bos." That's what the famous Indiana writer said about his Model 20 Compact Recehr* tag Set. It's so small that it harmontass with any surroundings—yet it is s foil powered, five-tube set, superbly dltelMt in all-round performance. You will be just as pleased as Georgs ABs. We arc always glad to demonstrate* T. B. Slade Jr. HAMILTON, N. C. I had started the habit of taking cotton i from the fields late in the evening ■! before it could be housed by the farm » er. They would then sell the cotton. - All of these young men are from families who never knew such a thing as theft nod did such a thing ever en ; tcr theim minds. They were brought up in a day when it was fashion to work, tell the truth and be hones. And ii is a sad thing for fathers and mothers o live in a day of such mad rushes for pleasure that their boys and girls will do any thing. These fathers and mothers did not make thieves of their children, but they were surrounded with such a strong demand for big times and un heard of pleasures that required more ' rmoney than they could make honestly that they went out in the game that they might get them at any cost Good times have overshadowed char acter and have driven it out of the hearts and minds of many young folk of today. If the society surrounding these three young fellows had not called for so much money ,they would not have stolen the cotton. They were not stealing as an investment nor for a real desire for mischief, it was no other reason than to get cool drinks, fashionable breeches, auto rides and possibly ei>> irettes. if the parents of the nation would shorten the rope on their children so they could see them better, the de mand for things would not be so great and fewer boys would get in jail and fewer girls would go to destruction. While in the case of the three col ored boys, turkeys for Christmas . formed the desire. To this a great deal ■ could be said. It is wrong we agree; i we think three colored boys could s raise turkeys of their own and sell ■ enough to make their Christmas ' money, but on the other hand, there f is to be remembered that there is a desire arising from the very heart for I turkey on Christmas Day. i Hall's Catarrh Medicine ...

It doesn't seem a whole -;:-- " . • ' year has paaaed since we wished our subscribers and friends a Many Christmas, but time and tide wait for no man and though the time seems so 4 short, we would not fail for anything to wish our subscribers and friends a Merry Christmas again and that we will be the same friends next year as we have been this. Start the New Year right by help ing to secure a new ffeunty Home for our county. THE HOMELESS CHILD At Christmas time when we are so fortunate to have a home and its com forts and protection, let us not for get that around us, and often right at our doors, may be found little bop and girls who do not know the mean ing of the words "Home", or "Mother" end "Father". To some this may sound impossible in this era of prosperity, but the records of our Welfare agencies re veal the astounding record of hun dreds of homeless and parentlees chil- W dren of tender age. The Children's Home at Greensboro has alone eared for and finally placed in foster homes 187 children during the eleven months of 1926 ending November 30th and while they were doing this fine type of constructive child welfare work, the sad confession is made by the manage ment that 79 homeleas children were offered them during the same period that could not be handled for lack ofi facilities and finances. The citizenship of our State should not be satisfied until this proble mof the homeless child is successfully solved, and it may be solved if adquate funds are sup plied. During the next few days the opportunity is presented to the people of North Carolina to respond to the holidsy appeal of the Children's Home and the amount of service rendered in 1926 will be based upon the success of the campaign.

The Children's Horn* at Greensboro de pends entirely upon the voluntary do nation* of those patrons who know something about the Society and its work. The Legislature of North Car olina does not appropriate a dollar to this Society. No .church is under obli gations to support the Society, but many Churches throughout North Carolina have recognised the value of I this agency and made contributions. There is not an orphanage in North ■ Carolina but some church or fraternal r order recognises the responsibility of support. Not so with the Children's Home at Greensboro. This institution is non-denominational and non-sectar ® ian and therefore feels justified in * making its appeal for funds to the * citizenship of North Carolina. Every * corporation should recognise the eco -1 nomic value of this work for homeless I ' children. If these little one were not * cared for and started right, they would become a menace to our com e munities in North Carolina 6 We bespeak for this campaign a - generous response by the child loving - men and women of North Carolina. , NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATRIX Having qualified as administratrix 1 of the estate of Eliza Moore, deceased, i late of Martin County, North Caro lina, this is to notify all persons hav ing claims against the said estate to 1 exhibit them to the undersigned at s her home in Williams ton, N.
