If Rocky Mount knows what is best for every Interest of the city, we shall keep at the job of securing a public library for this city until we get one. It is necessary fi>r a greater efficiency and development of our school system, to sav nothing of the great educa tional advantages and opportunities for the citizens in general The cause needs more enthusiasm; let's get busy. ? Rocky Mount Telegram. There arc three cities in this ,-ecli??n of the State that are endeav oring to secure public libraries: Greenville. Rocky Mount and Wash ington. We understand that the s;.;c for the Greenville library has already l?een accural. Judging from the above article in the Rocky Mount Telegram ? ami others that have appeared at various times ? that city is also getting busy. In Washington, as far as we know, no steps have been taken in this direction. Whether we an; going to let these two other cities go ahead and secure their libraries and take ours out in wishing, remains for the citizens to decide. It'll never come to us of its own accord, that's sure. We'll have to go out after it, and it will mean considerable hard work. However, the task is worth the labor and it will mean much for our city if it is pushed to a succcssful completion. SENDING GOODS OUT ON APPROVAL. When one takes into consideration tho inconvenience, delay and worry thai a merchant- has to go through in sending goods out "on approval,"' it is strange that this practice lias not been stopped long ago. As it. is, most, ot the stores in the larger cities have abolished it. but tor some reason or other, it is still continued in the smaller towns. I Merchandise that is -i-nt out. sub jest to the approval of the custo mer. is often soiled, torn or damaged in other ways. While the goods i an' out of his establishment, the merchant, loses the opportunity ?-f selling them to some other customer. Entries have to be made on books, showing when the gOf>ds were sent out and when they were returned. Clerks have to wrap and unwrap the packages. A delivery boy has to make four trips: two in delivering the merchandise and two in returning them two or three days later. And all this is done at a LOSS to the merchant Only a small j percentage of the goods s?tit. out on approval are retained by the* customers. The majority just use "this practice, in order to avoid giving a direct refusal to the clerks in the first place. Imagine a woman going into a butcher shop and asking the butcher to send borne a steak '"on approval." Or imagine her going into the drug store and ordering a quart of ice cream under the same condi tion. And vet, it is not. only less absurd to ask for any other kind of merchandise to be sent "on approval. ** It is a custom that is aW>ut played out. If the merchants cannot refuse a customer the request, the customer should feel some sense of shame in making ir. OPPOSITION* TO THE ROAO WORK. A strong protest, against, the proposed expenditure of tho county's funds for improving the i?> d Hill road was recently made in a let ter ? which was published in the F)ailv News ? written by three tnen who compose the road corn mission of Bath township. It was first thought, when this project was started, that there would be no opposition to the work from any part of the county. Then, along came the nl*>ve-nientioned letter, and our thoughts received somewhat of a shf**k. There evidently WAS some opposition. We then commenced to invr*tigutc and to inquire of other citizens, who reside near Bath. Belhaven and other distant point* in the county, and asked them what TIIEY thought of the proposition. With scarcely a single objection, wo found that all were heartily TN FAVOR of having the work done and of the county's paying its share of it ^ It is evident from this that the protest, voiced by the Bath town ship commissioners, does not express the views of the citizen* a* a whole. It is another case of where two or three men attempt to block the whoels of progress and advancement The sentiment for good road* in Beaufort county, however, has grown too strong to be thwarted. The people WANT good roads and they are going to do everything they oan to get, them. They realize that every section of ttoe county cannot be worked at one and the same time. And they are willing for the work to bo done first where it is needed the most We defy anyone to point out another road in Beaufort eonnty that needs improvement more than does the Red Hill road. We are glad that the opposition has* come up, for it tend$ to bring those who favor good roads closer together and make them work more zeolonsly and with more oo-operatiou in bringing about the rewiHe they desire to achieve.
