'' • ■ Address all communications to The Enterprise CAPITAL BEING TIED l'P IN IDLE SECURITIES Tax exemption seems to be shifting much of the money of the country to idle securities instead of business ac tivities. It is said there ib being added to the tax-exempt list $100,000,000 each month. The United States Treasury Depart ment estimates that there are $14,- 380,000,000 in tax-exempt securities outstanding today, which simply means that much wealth is exempt from paying taxe-s *-• FORCING.THE TOBACCO FARMER TO THINK The question, "Can the farmers be organized" seems to have been an swered "no" by the tobacco farmers The elements that hold the farmer down are, first, poverty; and, second,] the want of business intelligence. From the present outlook, his poverty will increase rather than decrease. There is hope for his intelligence, since necessity is rapidly driving him to think The farmer is mortgaging his farm to the manufacturer at a rapid rate. The guano factories are buying in lands here, there, and everywhere. The tobacco manufacturers are buy ing land-bank bonds, secured by to bacco farmer's UunlK. So the funitri, after all, is very little above a tied servant, with a few exceptions. He has to both beg and thank the world for about everything he gets. With the present outlook, the farm er should go into the manufacturing business. Suppose each tobacco farm er in Martin County should manufac ture one-fourth of into cigarettes or smoking tobacco and compare the profits from the one fourth grown and manufactured willi the profits of the three-fourths grown and turned over to the other fellow to manufacture. It is safe to say he would make far more profit on the one fourth than he makes on the three . fourths. Can it be done ? First, the farmer would have to do it for himself. Every financial speculative insti tution in the country would fight him, NOTICE] .

Ho , would have to find a reasonable a ' mount of finance to build factories and » carry some stock. The factories are • not expensive in proportion to value I of goods turned out, and there is no > article manufactured in North Car olina so cheaply as tobacco. The farmer, if he would use enough wisdom not to hire a trust tobacco 1 i man to attend to his business, might easily build his own factory, manu facture a portion of his own product and make handsome profits. His selling would be easy. Poverty has forced a brohterly feeling among men everywhere. The man in the mine, in the factory, and at the foun dry would use his product in prefer- ; ence to the trust-made goods—quali- 1 ty. being equal. Wealth is fully organized in thlo| country,'and folks can. organize if they will use the same good sense that wealth uses. As it is now, the rich are simply the guardians of the poor. Certainly, there are some good guardians, but there are many bad ones. "ATE TOO FAST Sooth Carolinian Took Black- Draught For Indigestion, and Say* lie Could Soon Eat Anything. Ballentlne, o.' :C. —Mr. W. B. Bouknlght, of this place, gave the following account of his use of Tliedford'o Black-Draught. "Just after I married I had Indi gestion. Working out, I got In the habit of eating fast, for which I soon paid l»y having a tight, bloated reeling after meals. T"his made me very uncomfortable. I would feel stupid and drowsy, didn't feel liko working. I was told it was indi gestion. Some one recommended Black-Draught and I took it after meals I soon could »at anything any *ime. • t "l use It for colds and bilious- ■ noss and It will knock out a cold and carry away the bile better and • quicker than any liver medicine I have ever found." Hating too fast, too much, or faulty chewing of your food, often causes dUcomfort after meals. A pinch of Black-Draught, washed down with a Bwallow of water, will help to bring prompt relief. Bloat ed sensatjons, osuctaiious, bad breath and other common symptoms of indigestion have disappeared after Black-Draught has been taken for several days. NC-164 t 'II M BRINGING THE WORLD'S BEST VALUES TO YOUR DOOR i Newspaper advertising is of vital importance to every man or woman who spends money for the necessities or luxuries of life: By making a prac tice of reading the newspaper adver tisements, you keep in close touch with the latest offerings and lowest prices. Well-advertised brands of merchan dise are not only dependable in quali ty, but are also, as a rule, the most economical. Here is a very concrete case of why this is true: Mr. Warren Wright, president of the Calumet Baking Powder Co., is the authority for the statement that they spend millions of dollars in newspaper I advertising. This tremendous volume of advertising creates a gigantic de mand for Calumet—a demand that is maintained by the quality of Calumet. As demand prows, manufacturing C costs are reduced,' and the price of Calumet to the user is brought down to the low point of economy. Calumet advertising, like all other advertising back of a meritorious prod uct, goes on record in black and white as to the value of Calumet Baking Powder. It promises the housewife better bakings at lower baking costs, and the Calumet Company must live up to their printed pledge. Newspaper advertising is localized advertising. Consequently, it bene fits—the dealer as well as the con sumer, because it reaches buyers who can transact business with him. It moves the goods from his shelves. It ke"ps his stock fresh and clean. It enables him to sell the higticct quclity merchandise at the lowest possible prices. «. ft THE COST OF THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR'S SERVICE '... . . (_ • t It is an established principle with I''. L. Edwards that the funeral service should conform to the cir cumstances of the family. For several years F. L. Edwards has been called to serve hundreds of "families of etefy position 1n life. 1 have never knowingly recommended the pur chase of funeral merchandise or other materials that would place an unfair burden on the living. Giving the best I know how to give wherever called, I feel is nothing short of what should be expected of me. . F. L. Edwards UNDERTAKER EMRALMEK WILUAMSTON, N. C.
