Friday, August 30, 1929 , I Tobacco Market Visitors The tobacco market is one of the town's best busi ness assets. It brings people in from outside of the regular trading area. Many of them do some trading while in town; they buy gasoline and oil, eat at the restaurants, have their shoes mended, subscribe to the newspaper, drink at the drug store, buy groceries, ciothing, hats, and shoes, consult a doctor or a lawyer, and buy jxtstage stamps, automobile supplies, and many other articles. . . Every person coming to town is entitled to the very best service possible. No busines can thrive without - good will, which can be built only by good service. The stranger, whether he is a large"oFa small trader, is entitled 1 to the best that we have to offer. " • Every person who comes to town is a potential asset, ' and the service given him generally determines what they mean to us. The Home atjd the School About one-fourth of Martin County's population will enter school next .week. In most instances they will be comfortably housed, in comfortable seats, with approved text-books and teachers, chosen by our system of laws built upon the experience Of the past. All these things have been provided because of the desire of a [>eople to educate their children. Everything in the entire system josts money. After all, are we getting efficiency from this vast machined We, of course, have different opinions as to the percentage of efficiency. A few say we are getting a high rate of efficiency; some say a very _ low rate. We ars sure a vast majority of people will agree that we are getting a much lower grade of ef ficiency than we should, considering the perfection of our educational machine. The greatest need in our entire school program is to find where the trouble lies and correct it. We are evidently doing too much teaching and too little studying. The school seems to have lost its power over the pupil, and it finds too little help in regain ing its lost power from the home. The child's mind has been snatched fiom home and school by the many« speculative money-making crazes of the day. You can no longer send the child from home straight to school. He or she must go through town, view the picture ads, stop at the drink stands, and take in every other attraction which presents itself. Returning ftom school in the aftemon, there is generally a long sea son of wasted time until bedtime—it may be street walking, going to picture shows, card playing, or just plain loafing—but whatever may be the cause, the fact remains that more golden moments are wasted from the time school closes in the afternoon until bedtime than at any other time. Many parents are permitting the child to go helter skelter, without a thought of lessons; then in school the next day the child is nothing but a dead weight on the class, killing all the inspiration and school spirit in the teacher and those pupils who have prepared lessons. Thei result » is that the entire program of the class has to be changed, teacher and pupils alike lose interest and the work has half failed. One other thing that taxpayers do not think pays is the abandonment of study for athletics, which sets the whole school agog, permits run wild, and sometimes actual school is |>artially abandoned that pupils may run from one end of the county to the other to engage in athletic contests. Evidently the modern method of teaching athletics and physical culture is a fine thing, but the wild running to and fro in physical contests is a curse to the school's progress and wastes ten times as much in time and _ money -as it is worth. Many people seem to think the strongest feature of a school is its ball-playing ability. TWy lose sight of the real fundamental parts of an education. t '• We would guess that one-third of the potential pos sibilities of the school are wasted on account of the failure of the parents to force home studying and on account of the habits which have been formed in the schools to capitalize play rather than work. The Situation at Marion ■ • . The Marion strikers' conditions are steadily grow ing worse. Judge Townsend says in his opinion the Managers of the mills are responsible for the deadlock and that they have acted wwt unwisely, Mr. Mabrey Hart is the manager refenW to. Mr. Hart is the young scion of a rich inheritance, the son of the late W. S. Hart, of Tarboro. He is doubtless a young man of many good qualities, but it is doubt ful if he atfed wisely in overriding the action of the governor's investigating board. It is practically the same thing as a participant in a suit defying the court and refusing to obey its mandates. After all, it is doubtful if young Mr. Hart knows very much of the common human touch, having been born in an element where wealth abounded and few of the hardships of life were experienced, and where the policy of succssfully working the other fellow was the main theme. This naturally does not make a full-round ed man, with a broad view of both sides, out of him. For that reason, the position of Judge fownsend should be given more credence than that of Mr. Hart. A Word of Warning i ; One of the best pieces of news for the week is the statement from the State Highway Patrol that begin ning next week violators of the North Carolina traffic laws will be carried to court whenever caught instead of merely being warned, as has been the custom for (he past two months. —. _ . With this notice of warning, every person who uses the public highway, either on foot, by horse-drawn vehicle, or motor car, should take notice and set ac cordingly. The pedestrian should remember that he owes obligations to every other person on the road, whether walking or riding. Drivers of carts, buggies, or wagons should always remember to carry a light that can easily be seen at night. The automobile driver should carry proper license, have proper lights, use the proper sid£ of. the road, make all necessary signals, enter from side roads properly, be of proper age; and, greatest of all, be sober. If these rules had been followed in the United States during the first seven months of this year, at least 18,000 people now dead would be living. For the good of the State, let the |)eople obey the law, or tell the courts their reason for not doing it. f> Heartless Fakery Of all the fraudulent raids made upon the purses of the credulous, none are so heartless as those charla tans who offer cures for incurable diseases or worth less remedies for maladies which might be successfully treated by competent practitioners. Probably the most conspicuous of this latter class of vultures is that which offers to "fit" glasses by mail —a dishonest proposition on its face, offering, as it" does, to do a thing which can not in the nature of things be done. To measure the amount of error in the refraction of th«J human eye requires the services of one skilled in such work ; and this service cAn not be rendered by mail, telephone, or in any way save by the persona' examination of the patient by one skilled in the pro fession. Not only do these fraudulent advertisers fail to relieve eye trouble, their victims almost without excep tion suffer actual injury, for the spectacles so sold are but a fair grade of magnify glasses, which make print look larger; and, it so convinced that a benefit has been received, consultation with a competent eye specialist may be deferred until real relief becomes a difficult and costly matter. Grinding a pair of lenses to meet the needs of a pair of eyes, neither of which is ever exactly like the other, is an intricate and exacting process; and the advertisers who offer to perform this feat without even evamining the eyes to be fitted, and at a price often less than the actual labor cost of the work, are so manifestly swindlers that it is strange indeed that reputable advertising mediums accept their business, that a government-owned post office department per mit them to use the mails, and strangest of all that ordinarily intelligent men and women answer the ad vertising and patronize the advertiser. -v. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way of suc cessful prosecuting these spectacle quacks, because of the technicalities behind which they shield themselves; and so it becomes the duty of reputable newspapers to issue a warning to their readers, that they may beware of the dangers which lie behind the preposterous prom ises of the grafter who promises to fit glasses by mail. —Exchange. Politics This Week The Senate tariff battle will be exciting even to the man on the street. The once dullest subject in the world has aroused enough comment this year to in trigue the interest of any one with a normal interest in his living costs. While waiting for the bell to ring for the second round of the bout, it is interesting to take note of the personalitiesj involved. Senator Smoot would seeiri ihe logical person to lead the protectionists, with Senator Simmons, of North Carolina in direct opposition, and no doubt they will play highly important parts. It is expected, however, that Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, will be most ac tive in the fray, since he is a more aggressive debater than the Senator fiom Utah, while the quiet finance minority leader may yield somewhat to Pat Harrison, whose satirical tongue makes him a colorful figure in any argument. "Jim" Wataoo and "Joe" Robinson, Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate, re spectively, have • heavy responsibility. Senator Thomas, of Oklahoma, plans to fight for limitation pf to agricultural schedules, and Borah, who first advocated such limitation, will prob ably make an excellent leader for the farm relief group. Other progressives—Brookhart, Norris, Nye, Fraiier, .etc.—are certain Wbe to the fore. Reports that the " Tennessee seat left vacant by Senator Tyson's death may be filled by Representative Cordell Hull, a learned and able opponent qf high tariff, are cheering. The more evenly divided opposition and defense in the Senate will make for a far more intensive fight thaa was waged in the House. THE EN TER PR IS E DR. P. B.

"The person looks very familiar, and I know I know him, but I just can't calf his name," the doctor state, in all earnestness. LUMBER MILL IS DECIDED ASSET Murray & McCabe Co.
