\ ^ABHINGTQN; NORTH CAROLINA, AUGUST 5, 1915.
AX EXCELLENT DECISION.
An announcement appeared in yesterday's issue of the Daily News
to the effect that three of the drug stores in the city would in the
: future sell ci pars, ioe cream and drinks for cash only and would
abolish the habit of charging these purchases on their books.
It has alwavs appeared to us as a somewhat ridiculous custom to
charge amount^ of rive and ton cents on- a store's liooks, when th.%
cash plight have been obtained just as easily. A large uuml^er of
.these accounts are lost by tho stores every month and considerable
time is spent by a collector in huntiug up the parties who owe sums
ranging from tcn^teiifp to two or three dollars. We ate glad to see
that thrav are at least three stores progressive enough to cut out this
foolish system of credit. It is only to be regretted that business i?i
town as a whole cannot bo done on a more strict cash basis.
?DICTATING*' AND "REQUESTING."
Practically everyone has had the experience of being approached
by sotuo person who demands in a blustering manner that you dn
such-and-such a thing, or dire consequences will follow. . And ovety
oue ha.s felt like taking a crack at that fellow and nine times out of
ten ha* refused to do what was asked; But if the same demand or
request was couched in pleasing terms and way asked as n favor, the
odds an* that it would fce granted unhesitatingly.
The New Bern Journal, in a re.eent editorial paragraph, took the
newspaper's view in regard to this matter. Some time or other ?
be it sooner or later ? EVERYONE lias to ask a newspaper fur a
favor. It doesn't make any difference who or what you are.' tin
day will come when you will walk into the local newspaper office
and usk that it accommodate you in some way or other. That is a
fact that has Ufa proven all over the country. With rcfcroue:?
to tliib, the Journal lots the following to say:
"Don't try to dictate to a newspaper. Don't tell
thorn what they have GOT to do; but if you want
something done, go to the editor and ASK him to do
it for you. Newspapers have personal pride a^ well as
human beings and as you would not care to have some-"
one tell you that you HAD to do a thing, neither does
the Newspaper ? and the latter is far more indepen
dent than the individual."

MOKE AllOtrT "MOONLIGHT" SCHOOLS.
That Beaufort county is going: to be among the front ranks nf the
counties.of the State in reducing the number of illiterates within (
its boundaries, is shown by the already active interest wliirli is being
taken in this matter. A committee has been appointed to act in co
operation with the county committee and- a meeting is to Ik* held
Saturday for the purpose of discussing plans and methods for pro
ceeding with th work.
The importance of this movement cannot ln> impressed too foVce
ably upon the rt.ridcnta of i". ? county am! it h hoped that everyone
wfll assist in securing teachers for those who are unable to read and
write and persuading the latter that they should take advantage of
'the opportunity offered them in thj^Iine.
A "PRKESS ASSOCIATION" OF THEIR OWN.
The newspapers of this section of the State are keeping in touch
with each other nnye and more ?-very day and as a" result their
columns ar filled with newsy stories of the happenings in ncighltor- l
ing cities. There appears to be a genuine spirit of. co-operation !
among the press from which all are deriving great lKMiefit. The
papers in Greonvillo, New Jiern. Kinston, Rocky Mount and Wash- 1
ington arc in this so-called "press association," and they are helping
each other wonderfully. We sincerely hope that the association will I
remain in operation for a long time in the future and that nothing!
will occur to break up the present spirit of friendliness among tlie|
papers of tli is section. I
? r
Probablv some of our reader* haw Prfft'l r?f a little town on the,
Tar River which some person with a keen sense of humor called
"Greenville," owing to the character and nature of the people who'l
live there. Thero's a paper published over there, which is called;
the "Reflector," because it reflects the green ? but we'd better stop ?
there. Any way, what We're driving at is a remark which apoeVrcd
in yesterday's issue of the Reflector, and which caused this flow of
seeming)? disparaging comment. Tt went like this:
"'file Washington News seems to be"1 anxious over
Washington's death rate. We invito a few Wa-diing
tonians to move to Greenville and live forever."
Can you beat it?
