Aduress all communications to The Enterprise Opporunity for the Toboacco Market Williamston's opportunity to build a tobacco market is now at hand, Greenville claims County as its tobacco territory, and yet two other markets expect to live from the tobacco from this county. We often wonder if the proper campaign has ever been made in.the proper way to hold the Martin County tobacco to the home markets. Williamston stands in the cross roads of the tobacco field of the north eastern belt. It has no super-com petition nearer than Greenville, arxi with .the proper effort tobacco grow ers will find the local advantages ob tainable will offset every advantage that the big markets claim. If Williamston is to become a frig market, it must do it on- this year's crop, which from appearance is a* good as the eounty has ever pro duced. If we are to have ii tobaico mar ket, we must have the best of team work, which means fair and square treatment to every man on every pile fit tobaccrt on the part of the ware housemen, and a welcome on the .part of all the town's people and good goods at lower prices by the mercan tile establishments. Home Agent Doing a Fine Work Miss Anna Trenthani, the new coun>- ty ? agent, is laying the foundation for a 'pal service to our people. ' She has pi ready visited many sections of our county, meeting many of the womvn of all stations in our economic make up, ranging from the highest in the line to the most humble homes, where she has shown herself as a safe and vorthy leader in the work she is do-.

We are now in the grind of great competition. Greenville, the State's second largest market, is covering every inch of W illiamston ground. 1 11 can not be sa>d that Greenville is not a good market, it is in reach of ajl of our farmers. For that reason, we have not only got to tell our farmers that our advantages are equal to that big market- but we have got to show them, too. ...'l'hc Williamston market suf fered'more or less in former years for the want of financial strength of -warehousemen.

TAYLOR IHESE THINGS WILL BE ADDED In *nany ways we of today are not unlike those who lived when Christ walked the earth. Men anJ women, at a whole, have always looked for ward to a day of greater prosperity lor. themselves. They have always been concerned more or less about their own individual wants. All of us should be concerned about these things and work and plan to attain those that will .nake us hap { pier. I think that ii was intended in j the beginning that we should put 1 forth every effort to better ourselves physically and financially. But we can not hope to thus better ourselves until we first seek to be better spir itually. We must do the first thing • first. The other things will follow. We are told in the greatest Book ever written that all the other things worth while will be added unto us if first we seek the Kingdom of • God. We can not hope to cross the wide > wide ocean unless we have something to take us across. Nor can we expect to attain those things that will bring happiness and. contentment unless we have a starting point. We are *old how simple it is. First of all seek? liis Kingdom. at every State or national highway crossing in the State, and keep a flag man at points' where the railroad run - more trains. It would necessitate a heavy cost; yet it would be less than paying for the killing of so many people, added to the loss and inconvenience to the public by stopping.
