Committee.
To the Young People
p-l ,am. sure every reader of the
Public Ledger enjoyed the excellent
article H. K. Crews wrote some
time ago. I have heard several in
fls and other neighborhoods say
tnat they never read any-better
P'ece, and I desire to write a few
words in answer to him.
Mr. Crews spoke of tobacco be
ns s0 high. Yes, all farm' pro-
fn ,larehiRh- and now is the time
ur tne young men of our State and
Ration to progress. The great de-
riuttWM1"9 f t0'day arefinding
that Nof th Carolina has. as good
to n aS, can he found in the Union
mJ?u 'V various kinds of plants.
rh a t-"'" now ranKs among
tfle first in the Union in health. I
We have about as good laws as can
be found in the Union, so why is it
not the" place for the boys who are
developing into manhood to remain ?
Farming is more encouraging every
year. Wise men are devoting their
time more, and more each year to
it. The great schools of today are
standing out and out for farming.
Most of the principals and other
faculties are taking much interest
in encouraging young men to farm.
Secretary of State Bryan in an ad
dress at the White House on De
cember 4th to an Ohio delegation
of corn boys, said he was kept busy
lecturing to keep a little farm in
Kansas running. At the same
time he declared the farm was the
future of the young man, and that
Jt affords greater opportunities
than any other vocation. So young
mej, why not remain on the farm
in the Old North State, and make
it one of the greatest farming sec
tions on the globe? -
Remember that this is a day of
progress and a btate or JNation
must progress, or else it will fall
behind .and another will take its
place. Now the way to make this
grand old State of ours progress,
the rising generation must keep
the farm alive.
Mr. Crews spoke of education,
yes, training and equipping our
selves to meet things in life as they
come are the biggest objects we
young people have. The day and
hour is at hand when the uneducated
boys ana girls are behind. Young
people make lots of excuses why.
thy don't attend school. Some say
they are to poor to go through
school. Young man, young woman,
don't say that, for most of the
great men whose names are tplaced
down in history were poor, poor
boys. Could; the daughters of Mr.
Crews ever held the lofty and honor -ed
positions which they now hold
if they had remained at home and
istened at the lady who told them
they would be looked down on if
hey waited on the table to help
pay their way? . No indeed, and if
jou and I fail to furnish ourselves
with an education while we are
young we can't possess the great
things of life that we jnight.
Now in connection with this I wish
to mention the great' liquor evil
that is staring us in the face. Rev.
J Harold, Secretary of the
Greensboro Inter-Church Associa
tion,, kept tab on the liquor ship-'
ped into Greensboro by express
during the first fourteen days of
November, and repprts thafeduring
he time 2,258 gallons of booze
were received irom tne -express
V . . rt
company Dy thirty - citizens oi
Greensboro. Judge Carter, who
was sitting as a CommittingMagis
istrate anounced.that records com
plied by aud i tors in thevSouthern
Railway office show that Asheville
is receiving one hundred thousand
gallons of whiskey each year.
Young man, the blessed prohibition
law x)f North Carolina is the worst
imposed on law we have. Do you
know that there are 75 thousand
people killed each year directly
from strong drink? Why not look
at this, young man, and try to help
our excellent officers enforce this
good law. The day will soon be
when the responsibilities of State
and Nation will be resting on th
risi ng generation. -
