OURS IS NOT A
BALANCED COMMUNITY,,
Tlie day of bringiug the fellow from
the outside to build your tuwu or citv
appears to have passed, in fact there
J a doubt it it ever existed and the
couynunity that has gone forward nd"
grmvn larger ami greater is usually the
eue that has a citizenship that is alive
Jul awake and really to help itself.
, Tfrd business booster organization that
ijfs in this day bending its eft'orts to
attracting the outsider from the far
po'tli, the middle west or some distant
point isn't really getting very far,
.uuugh-. ul loiirm'' Ihere are exeeptiuns
whidi prove the rule and occasionally
they pick up an industry, but more
often we will venture to assert they
: pick a frost some fellow that is renjly
a foreman that wants to be a superin
tendent or a general manager and the
business isn't long in going cailimk.
And Rocky illount is no excetion
and what we need is to create new In
dustrie! and businesses in our own
ranks. There are men right here about
which bigger busiaesses could :be built
and we should f en it t them out and
lending Our financial and moral sup
port; should build by improving what
vie have.;; . ' ' -
-.' This city is primarily buiUled on
agriculture, and the manufacture and
marketing of agricultural products an)
in this we are greatly handicajped at
certain Seasons of the year, notably the
summer. There is being brought into
Rocky Mount at this time money for
the manufactured product of less than
a half a dozen plants, and thus it. is
relatively small, very small. While
at the tame time the banks and finan
cial institution a'e being drained fur
loan to the farmers and a prominent
authority that i in position to know
declared that to home the present
crop Of tobacco alone there will be
required. - upwards - of 500,000. " Of
course therq i the larger item of cot
ton! peanut harvest, etc, And jet for
three or four months we have manu
factured but little that might give -us
bank balances, while our tobacco in
dustry, guano plants, gins, cotton
presses, etc., have been idle, and living
from the earned increment of the past
year. "TJurs is not a balanced com
munity. And to balance it might demand
some years of work by our whole citi
zenship and there is no one that will
contend that it isn't a task worth
while for all of us. Let's begin to
think along this line and to work to
an end that will, mean for a greater,
setter city in which for all of us to
live. : ' ''
It develops that Ponni gave about
seventy inches of skin to save a young
woman who had been burned' shortly
after his dismissal from prison some
years ago. Evidently he thought it
was his time to do some skinning.
This is the worst war Warsaw ever

Speaking of obsclete words, experience-ought

No wonder Methuselah lived to such,
a ripe old age. He had no telephones
to contend with in his dav and time.
Isn't it too bad that Labor Dnv
does not come before August L'li so that
a fellow might take his holiday trip
before the new rates gcr into effect.
Here's hoping that the legislators
lo something definite with' the suffrage
question this week. lint iticat inn and
amendment are both mighty ' "hard
words to break into a headline. I
It's not fair when the Bolsheviki
and Poles are staging a perfectly good

prominence on account of the suffrage
