Is Being Flagrantly Violated.
We wonder if the eitizens of Greenville know that the following
ordinance is still in voxue here : ?
"Chapter II, Section 8. No person shall place, throw or sweep
on any sideivalJc, or in any 7!f the streets or open lots of the town,
any filth, trash, glass, paper, boxes, nails, pieces of board,
shingles, barrels, hoops, watermelon rinds or any other thing of
nuisance wlxatever, but the same shall be deposited in boxes, bar
rels, crates, or other vessels, and placed on the street in convenient
places for removal by tlie tmvn on Mondays and Thursdays of
each week. Any person violating this ordinance shall be fined
five dollars for each offense"
One of our readers makes inquiry through the columns of this paper
today and asks: "Is this ordinance enforced? If it were enforced
would vou have to pay a fine?"
We think the inquiry is pertinent for fromgthe appearance of things
this ordinance is being flagrantly violated. There is one thing sure,
trash can he seen upon all sides, and especially is this true on Evans
street right m the business section. If the ordinance is not enforced, it
ought to go off the books and become null and void. Our neonle should
have pride enough for appearance sake, if not for health's sake, to
keep their premises clean. !No such ordinance as the above should ever
become imperative, but as it has, it ought to be carried out. -
Let s see to it that Greenville is a clean town. It meang much so
far as health is concerned.

The onlv person who reallv can refuse to buy a bond is he who does
not know what it's all about. It is up to him to acquaint himself with
tne aetails. Any banker m Greenville, or m Pitt county, will be glad
,lu liive out wnarever mtormation is desired-
If you are hesitating about buying a bond because you are doubtful
regarding some point about the issue, don't hesitate niw lo-no-oi-
the information you want and then proceed Xo buy as many bonds as
vwu can anora.
A Fine Showing.
Greenville made a fine showing last night in the contribution to ihe
War Savings St&mn Oamnaiffn for over $20,000 was subscribed richt
off the bat, as a result of the powerful address delivered at the Court-
nouse by H.x-JVlayor U. J. .baton ot Winston-Balem. Ihe address was
one of the very finest ever heard here nncf that it bore fruit is evidenced
by the way those present subscribed. Quite a number joined the Ximit
Club. The subscriptions ranged from $1,000 down to $50.
Everybody is feeling good over the result today as it begins to look
like the county is going "over the top" so far as War Savings Stamps
ar6 concerned. We have always had faith in the people of this county
to do the right thing and we know tlicy are not going to be behind this
time. That was a ffreat meeting last nicrht.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
A man or a nation fights best when "fighting mad." The United
States has not yet reached that etage- The battle line is three thous
and miles from our shores. Before we decfared war a few of our
citizens lost their lives by lawless submarine warfare. The taking over
of a yery small portion of the front by our troops ha's meant a few
casualties. But the war has not come home to the American people
as a whole. If America is to get into the war, we must by imagination
visualize its horrors, which our allies are able to see at their vedoorT
I herby take the privilege of an
nouncing that I am a candidate for re
election to the office of Judge of the
County Court of Pitt County, subject to
the will of the Democratic Primary of
the County.
In this connection, it is my pleasure
to express to all the people of Pitt
County my sincere gratitude for the
honor heretofore conferred on me.

Do Your Bit
I ask the merchants of Greenville during the
campaign now on for the sale of Liberty Loan
Bonds, that they donate their advertising space
from now until Saturday, May 4, to further the
cause in this county. We must do our part in this
trying hour and we must arouse the people to the
necessity of buying bonds. Lets work as a unit
and see to it that Pitt county "goes over the
top."
We cannot afford to be "slackers" and not
heed the call of our country.

Chairman, Third Liberty Loan Campaign for
Pitt County.
