She refuses to turn her pride and decency down and surrender to a gang of New York gamblers the right to come to her bor ders and debauch her boys, girls, men and women by one of the most dangerous types of gambling—the pari-mutuel machine, which makes a line profit for its owner out of the |)eople who play it. The last session of the legislature was beseiged by lobbyists representing the makers and owners of pari mutuel gambling machines, with head offices in New York City. These lobbyists induced a few represen tatives in the legislature to introduce gambling bills for their counties. Among them was l'asqutonk. The Pasquotank people are to be commended for defeating the bill. Perhaps the regislature was run ning in its lowest and most "slummy" gear when it passed these bills. Get a Lesson From Past Booms The little town has been the victim of what |ieople call ''modern progress, and which definition may be entirely false. However, it is rather a sad scene to, pass along the deserted streets of the small town and look into the abandoned buildings, where once fair merchandising was carried on, now inhabited only by bats. While we all like the modern improvement and methods, it is safe to say that we have not used them wisely. The abandoned buildings and the automo bile graveyards seen in nearly every town in the coun try attest to the fact that this generation has spent a big fortune, much of which will never return. Then, too, the modern business trend has made man an extremist. He must lie able to ride faster, fly higher, swim dee|jer than anybody else has ever done. He feels that he must make big profits and get rich quick and have everything just to suit him. This modern trend has wrecked many fortunes, lost many farms, factories, and homes, and the small town has been the greatest victim. Now is the time to profit by our war-time boom mistakes and go slowly. __ N Profits Should Be Equalized The profiteering hog may lie the biggest hindrance to the return of porsperity. Already some shirts are said to have advanced 50 cents each wholesale. The laborer who makes the t shirt gets three more cents, the tax man gets three more cents, and the cotton farmer gets two more cents. Who gets the other 42 cents? Of course, the retail merchant will have to charge a larger profit because he has a larger investment. Other things in proportion, large profits do not make healthy business conditions, and the govern ment needs to look into price-fixing on all necessary commodities. The money lender, the wheat, corn, or cotton farm er should all enjoy tlussame profit on the same com modity. Danger in Excessively High Prices Those people who have stored away in their mem ory some of the curses of s|)eculation during the good times of the past ought to s|*ak out some word of warning to those people who never seem to remem ber anything and are ready to rush in at the slight est impulse that sweeps over them. It has not been so long since Insull skinned mil lions from unsuspecting, ignorant, and generally inno cent, though foolish, gamblers. We know now how the National City Company, and dozens of others, led men to their slaughter in a gambler's butcher shop. There is no good reason for prices to go sky-rocket ing, and if they do, we are going to find ourselves in far worse shape than we did during the last suqeeze. We need to remember our interest burdens, which must be paid or adjusted before we can hope for a return of real prosperity. We are going to find more money thrown away during the next ten years than during the past ten. Beer alone is going to take mil 119ns, and perhaps billions, for which it will give not a penny in return— only diminish our capacity and ioocMc the ornery 61 our families, because alcohol has a greater capacity to make slaves of men than any other thing on earth. Our experiences ought to profit us when new op portunities come within our reach. If we adjust our selves so that we may not play the role of a fool, we will be lucky, or perhaps prudent. We should not rejoice at excessively high prices. That is what has already ruined us. Take Your Stand! Young Democrats will do well to look ahead. No kingdom has ever thrived when built on a rotten foun dation. And alcohol has been declared by God Himself as an unfit foundation upon which build brain, brawn, or thought, and the man who stands on it very long will faint and fall. Alcohol writes no safe planks in constitutions or laws. It furnishes no safe foundation for the family's social center. It feeds no man's body with power or strength. It fills no man's character with truth or honor. It fills no man's soul with joy or hope. On the other hand, alcohol shakes the body of man into a hopeless, helpless wreck. It strips him of his riches and power. It weakens his word of honor and robs him of his respectability in his community. It puts sadness in his home and destroys his power to look upon the higher things in life. Yet Young Democrats —as an organization—are rushing blindly on under the same demon's influence that beguiled Eve and banished man from Eden. There is a difference between the word of a beer baron and the word of a minister of the church of God. One is seeking to elevate man to a higher sta tion in life; the other is seeking to get all his earn ings and let him and his family go to the dogs or to the devil; Take your stand! Advertisers and Non-Advertisers The advertising question has been discussed from many angles, and much has been spoken and written about it. Different- arguments have been presented pro and con. For our own satisfaction and information, we have reviewed the advertising business of this town for a quarter of a century and find those standard-type mer chants who have advertised systematically and con sistently are still doing business, while those who have thought it a waste of money to pay a few dollars weekly or monthly in advertising, informing the buy ing public of the opportunities they have to offer, are nearly all gone and almost forgotten. We have seen the business of a non-advertiser ab sorbed by an advertiser in the same block or just across the street, and the doors of the non-advertiser closed while the advertiser's business flourished We have recently observed the business of a certain tobacco company, a certain automobile tire company, and one automobile manufacturer grow by leaps and bounds; and all of their representatives say it was because their firms told the world that they had the goods and invited them to investigate. The world accepted their invitations, investigation, and bought. The merchant who informs a thousand customers that he can supply their needs and invites them to visit him and investigate h*s a decided lead over his competitor, wh*o waits for the customer to come in and inquire for his or her needs. Advertising builds friendship, and no business can thrive'without friendship. There is no leading article that can come on the market, nor stay on the market without advertising— and it is our observation that no great business can be built up and continue without advertising of some kind. Spirit of Cooperation Needed In Sales Tax Bertie ledger-Advance Distasteful as the principle of a retail sales tax may be to retailer and consumer, neither of the class can afford to employ weapons against its effective administration. At its best, for a while, the effective administration of the law will be difficult; and largely depends upon the willingness of those most affected by it to acquiesce in a law that may or may not be distasteful. Despite the bitter opposition of merchants to the enactment of the law in the first place, it is to their credit that a great majority of them have shown their willingness to assist in every way possible in its ad ministration by cooperating with the State Commis sioner of Revenue and his assistants. The person or persons who refuse to give the needed in administration fail to exercise that brand of citizen ship that is so necessary to good government. Then and Now Sanatorium Sun A child born at this time and living under pres ent conditions in the United States may have a life ex pectancy of sixty years, or more than twice that of a century and a half a#o. Health experts are now concentrating upon the d seases of middel age, having made giant strides in the conquest of those of childhood and infancy. The so-called "degenerative diseases," striking men and women during the yeasr of their greatest usefulness to themselves and to society, have made disturbing headway within recent years and offer a field for in valuab'e work. According to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the problem of the future is to make widely available what we now know about the laws of personal and community hygiene, *4n an organised and effective manner." \ THE ENTERPRISE Good Practice To Keep Scratch Feed fctf* Chicks It it a good practice to feed an a bundance of acratch feed to young chickens at all times, especially dur ing the developing period. This will build a good frame and develop vi tality for the egg-laying period. An excess of animal protein fed during the developing period will bring the birds into lay before they are fully matured and an abundant feeding of scratch will retard this early produc tion and aid in building a large, heal thy body for maximum egg produc tion.

Building & Loan Opens September 3, J933 At the close of several years of service to home owners and investors of this section, we now announce the opening of a new series of stock, and believe that our unparalleled record of se curity justifies and warrants a heavy subscription. Building and Loan stock, it k well to know, represents the only security that has retained its true value during the years of de pression, when all other stocks and bonds have slumped, many of them becoming totally worthless. This record stands out preeminently, and is the strongest possible endorsement of Buijding and Loan policies. If you want to own your own home, or to enable others to do so by small regular savings, and at the same time receive sub stantial ear..'ngs, call in and let us talk over the Building and Loan plan with you.
