THE HERALD I Of The Twin Cities ' ROANOKE RAPIDS- ROSEMARY Mortlt Carolina ASSOCIATION V, \© CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editor Sotwed as Second Class matter April 3rd, 1914. .1 the Poatoiiice at Roanoko Rapids, North Carolina, unde > Ail »f March 3rd, 16V9. PREfTE&S, ITHOGRAPHERS, ENG;: AVERb COMMENCEMENT What a well fitting word to express this season when young people are graduating. Com mencement. He who applied this word ior its first usage knew full well what the High School and College graduate faces. Those who Would look on graduation as an end to be attained, as a climax to years of work and trouble, a-- the ultimate goal, are soon to dis cover their folly. As we har e heard and stated so many times, school days aie the happiest of our lives. We just don't realize it at the time. Young folks, your troubles are just begin ning. That’s wily they call it Comma :ce:. i .u But they are dot tiie kind of troubles which should be avoided or feared. They are just the monthly tests you art1 supposed to pass in order some day to be able to pass a filial examination. Except that none knows wnun and where that final comes, ll may be at the bedside of a loved one; it may be on the battlefield, or unsung on some lonely i.inn or in so.no silent office; but eventually it comes to every person, that time when a definite decision must be made. It may be physical or moral or just plain humdrum. But it may be the c . in .; will change your whole life; it may affect many others. The way you decide then will be determined by the way you face the smaller difficulties which will be placed in ye ur way when Commencement is over and life begun in earnest. Some call it character building. But when you are young as you are today, the sun shines brightly, the world is easy to con quer, disappi inti nts are soon forgotten, suc cess awaits you. Twas ever thus and well it is. This would be a weary. dreary place without the boundless enthusiasm of youth. Congratulations, Class of dl, we imi to you to carry on. J lit DOOMED t ITV A friend was talking about two North Caro lina towns not .... far away from here. To all outward appeal-arcs, there is little difference between the two A stranger called u.xu, to de cide quickly which town he would choose for home or business, would have a difficult time making a choice. Gut, according to inn, incnu, there is a gult as wide as ihe heavens which divide the two places. He expressed it thus: A City is a hollow shell; B City is a Gibraltar. Just what did he mean; why such contrast in description when they both look the same; how can you speak of towns in that language: What he meant was this; In A City, people did not pay tiieir debts; they had lost that mor al fiber which makes a man look upon a debt as something which must be paid before more debts are incurred; merchants had become lax in ex tending credit or were victims of worthless ac counts, they, in turn, unable to meet their obli gations; with a loss of that particular moral strength, looseness in other morals were creeping into the social am1 business life of the community. In B City, men paid their debts, families liv ed within their incomes; while they may not have had as much to show on the surface as some of those in the neighboring town, what they did have was paid for; ihe merchants, were strict in their accounts and had no fear of telling a man when he was asking for too much credit; those who borrowed were able to pay the banks, thus giving those institutions ample funds to reloan at any time. In short, B City did business on a bu siness like basis, and for so doing was blessed with a citizenship that could look the whole world in the face honestly anil unafraid. So there's the yawning gulf and that's why one of those towns will live and grow and prosper when the other will have become a shambling vil lage. High walls and fine buildings do not make a city. First, last and always, it is the people who make a town what it is. And unless those people are honest, fair in all their dealings, con cientinus :n making and meeting their obligations, that city is doomed. Ii YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH— An effort is being made to turn the friends of t ity Extension against the plan by a whis pering campaign which is not voiced in the open air. These people, good people, who have been for City Ext iision, are being told that changes have been made in the plna of incroporation: that property had been excluded; that the amend ment to the bill was made for the express pur pose of lipping something over on the unsus pecting public. Not only is this untrue, but it is being told old-irately. Thu amendment was made, as was utcr.-sary, to postpone the election in order to get :!u- proper notices legally run and in order to call for a new registation. That is all. NOT ONE LINE OF THE ORIGINAL BOUNDARIES HAS BEEN CHANGED and we defy anyone to prove the contrary. Of course, uoiic will, nor will anyone publicly make such a statement. But it is being done in the whisper mg campagin. We appeal to all citizens and voters to ask anyone in whom they have confidence about any phase of city extension. If in doubt, write this newspaper and v.e will publicly answer your let ter or privately as you prefer. If we don’t know the answer, we will lie just as frank and tell you •o. We won’t make up an answer nor will we tell you a deliberate lie to influence your vote. Here's some good advice if you are In doubt about the general plan. Ask men lik ; these: Juli :n Allsbrook and Kelly Jenkins, attorneys who Irciv up the bill for city extension; ask any of your public officials who have studied the plans: Senator /lollicoffer. Dr. Long, Solicitor R. Hunt Parker, Count;- C ommissioner W. F. Joyner, C’oro .er Lilly Williams; or ask your school heads, Siipt. A. In. Akers and Supt. Charley Davis; or >.<k Mayer George Taylor and Town Commission 's F. ( . Williams. C. E. Matthews, Marvin Collier Tom St. Sing. ( . T. Kidd; or ask Alfred Martin, pr i,lent of Rosemary .Merchants Association; or n-k i. V. Chase, manager of the Power Co.; or ask lie president.-,, general managers and superin tendents of any of the mills. Those are the kind ef 1 len who know the plan and will tell you the truth. ■MADK IN NORTH C AROLINA North Carolina manufactuers products in cki Hi tin ;S40 elassitications into which the Bureau of the Census groups all manufactured products. Her raw materials, climate, labor, transportation and i'titer iacilit'es make it possible for her to ma.'iulacture goods in at least 144 of these classi fications. North Carolina leads all States in the Union in the number of Cotton .Mills, the number of ac me spindles and in the consumption of raw cei ton. North t arolina manufactures more hosiery than any State iii the Union—abuut 20 million dozen pairs annually. Jlore cotton goods are manufactured in North Carolina than any other State. North Carolina leads all States in the manu facture of denims, napped fabrics, cotton flan nels. bed spreads, quilts, sheets, pillow cases, ginghams, shirting and table damask. During 1929 North Carolina factories gave employment to 208,068 wage earners and 16,507 officers and salaried employees. Only 12 States employed more people in their factories. There are 3,792 plants in North Carolina which had an output amounting to $5,000 or more each in the last census year. THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN _-— J4EY rtlSTERUj I \uH DROPPED YER rJ ^ pOCKETBooK p-' STRAIGHT SHOOTING By OLD TIMER Opportunity knocks but once, sel does it knock a second time, but it knocks once—-we all know that to be a fact. Opportunity is creeping up on Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids like a Santa Claus out of season. This San ta Claus will not wear red breeches 01 a long white beard, and he may not be recognized. He is bringing in his pack a Bigger and Better City and plenty of clean, pure water and a sewer system. If we allow him to pass over, and if we do not give him the welcome he deservt s. I doubt if he will ever come again with the same goods in his pack. Is there no way under the sun for the people of Roanoke Rapids and | Rosemary for one tinv in their lives, and in the present general ion, to bury the hatchet, get together, pull to gether and put the big idea across with flying colors? Constipated, minds continue to be against every thing worth while, and for the life of me I can’t understand why some folks don’t want to be on the pro l ressive side of an important ques t ion. Who and what is the outside influ ( ice that would keep Us down in the class of small towns, a town with out water, and a town which throw off a sewer odor for five months out of every twelve? Is it the fellow who thinks he will have to pay a few more taxes; or is it the fellow who lives away from here but who would continue to rule us. and if he cannot tide us. he would ruin us? Are we going to he run from the outside, or are we going to govern ourselves? Santa Claus is on his way here with ( lie package. Inside the one package are two bundles—one of these is In corporation. the other is a Water and Sewer system. He will give us both, or he will give us neither of them. The two go together, all arguments (0 the contrary notwitstanding. In vestigate that statement, and if I am not right, answer the statement. My advice to some of the bitter-enders is to pack your pipe tobacco a little iiarder and pull a little stronger while \ou think this matter over. If you want to give Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids the hardest blow it ever re ceived below the belt, vote against, but as for me, I will always vote “For Incorporation” and “For Water Works and a Sewer System.” Back in the early days of Roanoke Rapids I heard men argue against building schools, hospitals, churches, end sidewalks. I have seen men vote against spending money to put in water mains for fire fighting pur poses. I have heard men express their regrets that mills and industries were coming to Roanoke Rapids. In all cases each and every one, the re marks were made due to some selfish, self-centered interest. Those people who have big money invested in or near Roanoke Rapids are watching us closely. Will we say to them we are content to remain a ‘hick town,” or will we say that The Rest Is None I no Rood for lTs? I am sorry, Mr. Editor, that some people take you for Old Timer. How tan a young man like yourself he an ( Id Timer? Don’t forget that I have lived in Roanoke Rapids more years than you are old, and by the way, Mr. Editor, have you visited the flower yard of “Miss Fannie” Manning, in Rosemary? Its a fairyland of flow ers, shade, rest and comfort. The plug of chewing tobacco that George B. Lease, now of St. Louis, bought from J. W. Howell, a grocer at Marshtown. Ind..
