C., as second-flass matter imdef the act of Congress of March 3, Address all communication to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm. \Friday, June 28, 1929 The Highway Patrol Next Monday will see the beginning of the .activi ties of'(the State's road patrol. We will then see a cop on a motorcycle every few days. Or course, he will not be able to do so much in the way in watch ing folks, but the knowledge of such a branch of gov ernment will have its influence on the minds of driv- We have three patrolmen in this section, one is from Washington, another from Nashville, and the third from Old Trap, nil Camden County. It would have been better it the State had placed a man in every county. The cost would have gone up pretty high, it is true,, but if they would save half of the lives and a fourth of the |>roperty damage, the sys tem would be a paying investment. Since the Slate is putting on its present policing pi if all the folks will come to the aid of the patrol, as gtlod citizens should, and repirt all ses for investigation, it will do great good. 'Butil he people watch for the officers to the end that they may dodge them for the purpose of breaking the law, it will at least partly fail. Traffic laws, like all others, are good if obeyed, but worthless if disobeyed and ignored. How Will We Face Adversity? There is no danger of hunger ki this State if we will work. However, the people of Eastern North Carolina may as well make up their ininds right now that they are going to have at least 75,000,000 pounds less of tobacco this year than last. If prices of last year prevail, the IS Eastern Carolina tobacco coun-' ties will lose no ty's part will be at least a million.. Even the most optimistic of the tobacco people says that the Martin County crop will be off in weight from 25 to 40 per cent. In other words, the hopes and expectations of our Martin County tobacco farmers have been shattered by the recent rains to the extent of at least $1,000,- 000---enough to |>ay the county's taxes five times; enough to buy 1,000 automobiles or 15,000 radios; or enough to buy every person in the county S4O worth of clothing -a sum sufficient to buy Hour enough to last every person in the county for six years. With such a loss in [xiunds in our tobacco crop, we must change many of our plans. We must cut some thing to make ends meet. The question is; What should we do? If,our $5,000,000 annual crop-sale income S cut $1,000,000, then we will only be able to spend $4 where, we expected io spend $5.00. What shall we" deny ourselves? The question comes squarely up to us again. Shal we deny ourselves the necessary things of life, or will we leave off a few of the pleasures? We should, of course, first of all, use rigid economy, but under no circumstances should we lower the efficiency of our schools; nor should we cut the service we are rendering through our county homes, orphanages, or other charities; and under no circumstances should we cut our dona tions to our churches. It may be that wc can cut the quality of our cloth ing and sav* something, but we certainly can not cut WHICH would if ou rather pair SOME liquid Imecl-kil .

We should not cut down on our food to the point of undernourishing ourselves, which is-.one of the surest causes of many dread diseases, Yet we fear here is the that our morbid appetites for the glaring pleasures of life will cause many people to keep away from school, or wear too little clothing, and even to eat too ilttle of the right kind of food to promote growth and promote health. Let us act sensibly in the midst of adversity and not grieve. Gorgeous prosperity is one of the most destructive things that we encounter in life. It has destroyed more men and nations up to now than famine has. Can Not Defy the Government One reason for lawlessness is the personal and group egotism which leads individuals, States, and cities to believe they can defy the United States Government. The bootleggers of Cincinnati said Remus was bigger than the government;'that it could not handle him. United States District Judge J: Foster Symes said the other day, when he sentenced six residents to the penitentiary, that Leadville, Colorado, had tried to prove itself bigger than the United States in failing to abide by the prohibition laws— "lt was brought out in the trial that Leadville waa a 'wide-open fo**n' until Federal agents conducted raids last winter. Protection money paid by resort keepers went into the city treasury to pay for the pav ing of the main street." Two fundamental miscalculations are being made by the lawbreakers in this present (lay: 1. That they are bigger than the Government. 2. That they can per manently outwit the. Government. The lawbreakers will be found out and brought to book. en Unfriendly Tariff Wall The robberies along the Jericho road were never more dangerous to the safety, |)eace and happiness of the travelers who chanced to go that way than the proposed American tariff will be to the peace and prosperity of the peopte of the world if it is passed. Jt has narrowed down to a system of selfish grab bing. Kvery one is standing by insisting that Con gress protect him. Even the farmer stands around and l>egs for the protection of his products—half of them sold foreign countries and he would not de rive one |)enny from a tariff on any of them, sold at home or abroad. We are presenting to the wortfl the most unfriend ly tariff wall that, any nation has ever offered, it seeks every selfish advantage in every trade and gives none to the countries with which we trade. J Our terms with other nations on tariff bases are more unfair than have ever, been presented by any s other nation op earth. Earnest Young People In spite of all the loose talk and writing about the wild youth of the present day, recent statistics from the Bureau of Education indicate that the percentage of earnest young people is still very high. These sta of earnest young people is still very high. These statistics show that one-half of the young men and one-fourth of the young women in the coleges and universities of the United States are earning their schooling in whole or in part through working out side of school hours. In one year more than $33,000,- 000 was earned by the labor of students. Among the part-itfne job held by students are of fice work, automobile retiring, specialty selling, teaching, hotel and summer resort employment, house hold service, famr work, nad other activities. In the face of such a showing as is being made, it can hardly be maintained that the young generation is as frivolous as its critics would have us believe. Thrift and Crime Encouragement of thrift as a means of reducing crime is suggested by a well-known publicit, who de clares that extravagant habits in many cases are the direct cause of banditry. » ASH)* from the financial gains possible through fionhmyi and thrift, teh habit of saving has a stabil izing effect u|X)ii one's character. The |*rson who is laying aside something each week or each month with the idea of ultimately securing financial indepndence is more dejiendable than the one who spends his mon* ey as fast or faster than he makes it. Many who have resorted to dishonesty in order to secure needed funds quickly are those who have been first led into extravagant living. Allowing theniselvse t( indulge in luxuries in excess of what their earnings warrant, they more easily yield to temptation to dis honesty in its various forms. I'nder and by virtue of a deed of trust executed to the undersigned trus ter on the sth day of January, 1928, and of record in book Y-2, page 355, to secure certain bonds of even date therewith, and at the request of the holder of Mid bonds, the undersigned trustee will, on the 23rd day of July, 1929, in front of the courthouse door of Martin County, yffer for sale to the highest bidder, for cash, the following described land: „ Being lot No. 4, as shown by map of record in the register of deed's of fice of Martin County in land division book No. 1, page 424, to which refer ence may be had for a full and com plete description.

On last Saturday evening at sunset the policeman of our town was peace fully journeying to his home with his ice for the family tea. Passing the gate of a neighbor and seeing some little girls playing around on the porch h- paused to exchange some kind words with them to cheer their hearts. While thus engaged a man from across (he street, taking all precaution kst his presence be discovered, crept up from behind and snatched fronj the officer's pocket his little blackjack, v. hich was carried in the interest of order and for the protection of the community, and with it in hand, ac companied by an oath, struck the offi cer down and continued to pelt his head until he was pulled off by the father of the home before which he h«d stopped, and in the presence of the good wife and two children, who saw every move of the cowardly of fender, and who ,saw the blackjack pitched aside after he left the police n.ari bloody and all bruised up, and who also saw the father go get the blackjack and return it to the officer, and 'Wlm further would not falsely .for any jewel which money could buy, as honor to some is worth niore than all wealth besides. But, forsooth, in less than one hour, there were not less than one-half doz en white men and two negroes, who, although the sun had sunken behind dark cloutis, and although they were 132 yards away when the incident took llace, could testify that they saw this man snatch from' the policeman's pocket the little 9-inch long and 7-8- incli round blackjack and throw the same in the yard before he attempted to hit the officer. Are these the men who were either cooperating with, or grieving over the capture and destruc tion of the two stills from which inci dent this trouble led? Where are we drifting? In the name of law-abiding principle, to what ends will the liquor interests go? Kind friepds of the home, who would b;y your heads > upon your night to peaceably rest in the quret of an undisturbed society, is it not time to rise up and look out to take note rjf what manner of evil there lurks at tlu door?
