MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
One of the very best, if not the best, things that
has happened in Greenville took place at the Proc
tor Hotel yesterday afternoon when the business
men perfected a Merchants Association.
At last this paper is glad to know that an or
ganization of this character is assured for a town
that should have had it years ago. That it will
mean untold good for the community goes with
out saying. Organizations of this kind in other
towns of North Carolina have worked wonders
along all lines and there is no reason why it will
not do the same in Greenville. And it will if the
merchants and business men put their shoulders
to the wheel and work as a unit.
So enthusiastic are the Wilson merchants over
their organization in that town, that several of
the business men from that thriving town left
their respective work and came all-the way to
Greenville to tell us of its workings and the good
it has done for them. And every one of these Wil
son gentlemen pledged their support to the mer
chants of Greenville, tendering their aid when
needed, to help in making the organization here
a success.
, All the merchants present at the meeting yes
terday afternoon joined the association and se
lected as the president Mr. N. O. Warren, cashier
of the Greenville Banking: and Trust Co.. and as
vice president Mr. Frank Wilson, one of our lead
ing business men. Both of these selections were
most happy and means that the success of the un
dertaking is an assured fact. Mr. Leonard, the
state secretary of the Merchants Association was
present and he will return next week when all the
merchants will come together for a nermanent or
ganization and at which time the board of direc
tors will be selected.
This is an enterprise, and we use the word ad
visedly, that every business man should affiliate
with, and it is- an enterprise if properly fostered
and encouraged will mean much towards
keeping Greenville on the map and making her
more conspicious to the outside world than ever
Our merchants have taken the right step and for
this the Daily N ews extends congratulations. This
paper stands ready at all times to render anv aid
or assistance. Lets all work together for the good
ot our town.
could send those colored nurses out in the country
and help us farmers' wives work on the farms, and
attend to their own children like I have to do.
They could do their own cooking and send their
cooks to the farms where they are much needed
to raise foodstuff. They could clean their own
houses, wash their own clothes and the washer
woman an dthe scrubwoman could be used on the
farms. Try this for three months. There are
thousands of men and women who are doing noth-war.
It makes me tired to read a piece of advice to
iarmers wives. Alter we nave nnisned our oreaK
fast, cleaned up our house, milked and churned;
fed our chickens and pigs, taken our box and ba
bies to the field, hoed until we think it is 11 o'clock,
take up, our load and go back to the house to hur
ry dinner by the time the plow hands get in. W ash
days come when it is too wet to work, and ironing
Saturday afternoon. And 1 think after we have
gone through all this day after day we might have
meat or biscuit, if we raise it. And if any one has
to do without, let it be the ones that do not work.
I am not trying to run the government's business,
but I say if all the nurses, maids, butlers, cooks,
chauffeurs and corner loafers were sent to the
farms and the soldiers to the front, we could win
the war and have plenty to eat at home and to feed
,our soldiers. But the farmers cannot feed them
selves and soldiers and all these idlers. Let's eve
rybody work. Lefs all do something to win the
war and save our country.
A FAKMKKS WIFE.
SPEAKS HER MIND.
When it comes to getting ahead of a woman you
must get up early and ever keen vonr pvpc nnon
They are generally rierht in their
don't fail to express the mwhen necessity demands
we nave just run across a letter signed by a Far
mer's Wife addressed to an editor out west which
we think is worthy of publication down in these
parts. This woman says:
Mr. Editor: If you will allow me rtirpp T wil
drop in a few words on how we Americans can win
the war.
We want to win and must win, but it can't all be
done by economy of the farmers' wives. There
has been a lot ot talking, speaking and writing on
tne suDject oi economy, ail ot which has been ad
dressed to the wives of farmers. There are r.o
many farmers' wives who have not done their part
ana nave been an the while.
It is springtime and there is a great demand for
tarm hands, and we, the farmers' wives can take
our babies to the field and set them down under
a bush m a cracker box and hoe back and forth
while two or three little ones play around the box
This is often seen on the farm.
And there is another scene, often witnessed in
the cities, and that is a nurse in the back yard
with the children while the mothers are at card
names and receptions, or some other Social func
tion. I do not know anything about those socie
ties, but I read about them. They do a lot to win
the war, they say; but they could do more; they

honored more than rierht here in Pitt countv
They fought for what they thought was right, and
they were right, and so we honor them again on
tomorrow. Lone may they live in our hearts and
when, the last one sleeps in the bosom of the land
they loved so well and the pines sierh near their
last resting place, let it never be said of us left
behind that we failed to keen their memorv ever
