Besides this there are many j more people who would eat them it they had a little educa tion along that line. In selling sweet potatoes Carteret coun ty has to compete with growers of many sections. That compe tition should not be feared though because the quality of our product is better than that of most other sections. The trouble is the consumers do not know this fact. To them Carteret county potatoes are no more than any others. In fact most of them do not even know there is such a place as Carteret county. Now our solution of this po tato problem ( and it ought to stand until somebody brings forward something better, is this advertise our product. We believe in advertising. newspaper folks all do, and if . i ii. t. . 1 1 i ii you nave any tning to sen leu it in Oath and on the streets of any other plant in Eastern Carolina. Any time the citizens are not satis fied with its management they can vote in a new board of aldermen a new mayor. If a corporation should own our plant then, big boy you're through squawking. The local agent of the corpora tion will be referring your complaint to the head office in Seattle or some other place, and it will be put on file for adjustment, and later you'll be adjusted with a ouija board. . You've got the money-maker it's an asset hang on to it. In ten years that plant can show a profit of 770,000 or thereabouts that's about it's market value to a corporation. In ten years its- pay roll will be $300,000. If a corporation should . buy it they might close it down as they did in Florence, S. C. If we took the purchase price of the plant then what? We'd pay considerable more taxes to make up for that $72,000 profit each year after the purchase price had gone the way the balloons go.

Hancock of Beaufort. He was my friend. He was my friend in those turbulent early days of The Independent when few men dared to expose their friend ship for me. When I was fighting for my very life in that first brave effort to establish a free and inde pendent newspaper here in one of the worst little boss-ruled towns in North Carolina, former Sheriff S. P. Mancock of Beaufort was one of a number of warm-hearted lovers of fair play who stood on the side lines and cheered and persuaded his friends to send me their subscriptions to the paper. I have not seen S. P. Hancock in several years and had lost track' of him. But for a month or such a matter he had. been on my mind. Once or twice" I was on the point of writing him and asking him how things were going with him. And then the other night I met a man from Beaufort who knew my friend and I asked him how fared it with Sterling Hancock? "He's dead," said tie man from Beaufort: "Died about a month ago." F or two years or more I had hard ly given my dear old friend a thought; I had been busy with affairs. And then, when at last I did begin to think about him again it was too ne nas paid his debts and pass- late. that is from the beginning. I have written unto you young men because ye are strong and the word of God abideth in you. and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him, for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever." Mat. 5 19 verse, "Who soever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,' and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do ?nd teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." Now we are commanded in Mat. 24, 42 to 44 verses. "Watch therefore, fore ye know not what hour the Lord doth come. But know this, that If the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have wached and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready ;or in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." Now my friends by the help of God I r.m going to live up to God's com mandments as near as I can, so when my end comes thr.t He will say, well done thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things I will make thee ruler over greater things, enter thou into the Kingdom of Heaven.

I wish, to use a little of your space in your paper this week. I want to say this much I wish you all a merty Christmas and a happy new year. It seems that the people around New port are planning t ohave one. L. W. Howard has erected a large dancing hall in about 200 feet, of our teacherage and onr graded school building for the purpose of trying; to have a good time during the holidays but I think it is the most degraded thing to the morals of our young boys and girls that ever was started and now more than that some of oar teachers that are teaching' our boys and girls are partaking with it too. I think it is a shame. Brother Davis, our pastor got upa nd told them, in the beginning of our school he hoped they had come to set a good example but if they had not they had better take the train back home. Now I dont think taking a part in dancing is a very good example set before the girls and boys do you? Furthermore than that, some of the fathers and mothers will take their girls and go to the dance with them and associate with all classes of peo ple. Now some of the men that go to the dance and pays the dollar for the privilege to dance cant pay their honest debts and their signets have them to pay. Now dont you think that it is a curse to our community? I do. I know that the Bible speaks of dancing but it meant for a spirit ual dance, dancing for joy to our Lord. My friends I think we ought to be more thankful to our God for spar ing our comfortable lives to see this near another Christmas. WTe have committed so many sins in the past If you will read Romans 12 chapter 21 verse it says "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Mat. 5 and 37 verse says "but let your communication be yea, yea, nay, nay, for whosoever is more than these cometh of evil." Let's see what John says, 1 John 2 chapter 14 to 17 verses.
