HOW DOES YOUR HOME APPEAR
TO TRAVELERS
The Progressive Farmer of May 'iz
contains a sifg&e'stion tluit fanners.liv
ing on the highways beautify their
places in order to make a pleasant im
pression on passers-by.
This is a most timely suggestion.
Martin County and Williamston will
be judged by what is .seen from the
highways. If we have attractive
farms and painted buildings many
worth-while travelers will wish to live
in Martin County. The whole world
is now looking to the South. What
are you doing to induce people to
come here and live ?
Why can't all the old tumble-down
outbuildings be torn down and now
ones put up? Why not put on a
coat of paint and make the house and
outbuildings show up well?
Think this over.
THE NEW SOUTH
The Review of Reviews has recently
published a series of articles on the
New South that really appeal to the
pride of the true Southerner. "Amer
ica Discovers Dixie," by Clarence Pue,
and "The Soath's Resources," by
Richard H. Edmund, are two recently
published.
The magazitlw presents a world of
study in the advantages and progress
of the South.
Upon first thought, we imagine our
selves very great. We-think of our
skyscrapers, our fine roads, our wide
fields, and great forests and imagine
ourselves rich. Of these we should
be proud. Yet some of th«f articles
treated in the New South write-ups,'
i
touch on even greater problems than
big figures.
They touch common life; they deal I
with the facts nearest to us; that us
often as three times a day all human
beings are calling for food, the thing
that sustains life. When we are fulf
we think of big things. Yet only a
few hours after we again hunt the
kitchen that we may again pursue the
ways of life. So some of the things
shown are the better and easier ways!

• to utilize the great things that nature
has placed at his disposal. \ Climate,
; hoil, drainage, which so abundantly
. produces food of every needed kind
■ and all things necessary for clothing
and shelter.
The way to better homes, better
living conditions, and better educa
tion is near at hand in the South
land, and it is the teaching of the
youth individually the fundaments
of life that is counting in the South,
even as much as the great factories
and commercial resources.
The South raised enough cotton last
year, if the bales had been placed to
gether, end to end, to make five
bridges across the Atlantic Ocean from
New York to Liverpool.
Yet that did not make us prosper
ous; neither did it make us great. A
better «B8 of the cotton by the South
will count more than a big crop if
material progress is the base of great
ness.
When we change wastefulness into
economic methods, the papers will
truly have^much more to say about
the new South and its prosperity.
WOMEN AND CIGARETS
We ask no apology for Copying an
article by Ernest Crutcher, M. D., on
"Women and 4garet-s," which appear
ed in the last number of the New Age
Magazine. ,
While some people may look at it
lightly, it is well worth the consid
eration of all people.
There are some people who appar
ently rush to their own destruction
and" then are foolish enough to boast
I about their privileges to do so.
i „
If this magazine article keeps only
j one" girl from being foolish enough'to
[ i fall into the smoking habit, it will be
i worth many times its cost,
i 'She article follows:
; Judas gained everlasting infamy by
f selling an Individual. Cigaret manu
i facturers are "selling" the wonian
; hood of America, as far as propa
> gamla can effect such seduction,
i Why is it unwholesome for a wo
i man to smoke? There are scientific
reasons why it is more hurtful to a
I woman thttn to a man, especially to a
young or immature girl. For old wo
men who have ceased to thing *nd find
time hangs heavy -upon their hands, a
pipe may be excusable—sometimes —
and if used out near the born or in
the chimney corner of a hovel. "Of
course a woman has as much right to
smoke as a man," said David Starr
Jordan, "but when she I take
hpr name off my visiting list.'
"When a youhg man begins to
smoke cigarets, we no longer worry
over his future. He has none."
"It is the cigaret smoker who flunks
out of school," said an old teacher.
"The General" Emulated
Is it not amusing to see how strong
the power of suggestion in observing
the numerous simpletons who have a
dopted an inverted pipe, since the por
trait of a prominent man has been so
extensively advertised by tobaccon
' ists.
What is more beautiful than a mod
est, womanly girl—one free from the
affectation of vulgarity—a soft-voiced
woman, one without barbaric stripe of
"pumpkin'' hue, slathered over with
superabundant starch, often put on in
public, at a cafe or restaurant, tabie
or even in the open street?
Why is it hurtful to a woman to
smoke? Because it impairs her fer
tility and capability for motherhood.
Because it is ruinous to her features,
provoking premature old-age looks,
sharpens facial lines, causes sagging
of the flesh below the eyes and about
the mouth, flabby breasts, invites ir
regularities, bad breath, poor appe
tite, ami general early breakdown.
Why?
Harmful Effect Seen
The thyroid and thymus glands are
especially important.'"The first has
charge of the skin and hair, and often
Is enlarged, called goiter. Tobacco is
very hurtful to these two glands. It
hinders the action of these, though
stimulating that of the suprarenul
glands, which, aided by another glan
ular substance, invites a hairy growth
on the faces of women but prevents
growth of whiskers in a boy. A.
strange paradox, easily explained, but
not germane to this article. Young
cigaret smokers never mature into
manhood or pretty womanhood be
cause of the evil effects of tobacco up
on their ductless glands.
Your body is your engine. You
wish efficiency, out of your engine ?
Then put into it only clean fuel (foods)
pure liquids, and oils. Treat it as
' you would a fine automobile. Keep
', it clean and not smoked up, soiled, or
I in ill repair.-* , "•••
A clown is usually a bright man

No Governorship
For Mine
My good old friend the Gov
ernor of Oklahoma was in to see
me at the theatre the other night. I
had just had humorous mention as
a candidate for that position, as
they wanted to revive the Populist
Party with me as the Standard
Bearer.
Well; the Governor showed me
what had happened to atriend of
hi.-, \\ ho had been defeated for Gov
i ci nor in our state, so he discouraged
nxe. I won't accuse him of doing it
j purposely, but he did. His friend's
| campaign expenditures were as fol
| lows:
"I kissed 6,000 babies; helped 42
voters thrash wheat; shook hands
with the entire State; smoked 3,000
sacks of 'Bull' Durham; cut 22
cords of wood; helped brand 8,000
calves; spayed 4,000 of them; wa»
sprinkled 8 times in Methodist
Churchp; totally immersed in cold
water in mijddy creeks three times
by the Baptist; went to confession
in every Catholic Town; paid dues
to 11 Synagogues; charter member
of the Holy-Rollers; listened to
800 get-together Kiawanis, Lions,
and Rotary speeches; bought sheet
and pillow -shp in every Ku Klux
Klan in the State; and then I was
defeated.
" 'Bull' Durham was my sole
satisfaction not only during, but
after election. It is the only thing
that stayed with me."
