BKOAD MINDED PREACHER.
If we judge correctly there is no
greater man in a community that
makes for the religious, social and
economic growth more than the
broad-minded preacher, the man
that is not tied down to a certain
rut of thought and of activity, the
man that has an interest in every
phate of the life of the community
in which h^lives.
We wish every preacher in the
county would take the same inter
est in the progress and develop
ment of the county that Mr. Kir
ton does, and would manifest that l
interest by contributing worthy
articles to the county paper.
A county paper is just as influ
ential and strong and interesting as
the people of the couuty make it
it cannot be otherwise. We ask
the support of the people in mak
ing THK ENTERPRISE interesting
to all sections and all classes and
conditions of people throughout
the county.
We urgently invite you to con
tribute to our columns.
UNLIMITED LIBERTY.
Shall we let the cows graze all
day, steal the fodder from a coun
tryman's horse, and with all these
privileges allow them to stretch on
our sidewalks at night, chew their
cud to their heart's content, and
talk and boast of their special priv
ilege, while the poor hog, some
times as a greazv pig is chased al
most to death and is won as a prize,
and is sacrificed, as a young bul
lock in ancient times, by the Char
itable Brotherhood, at other times
housed up in a pen to grow fat
that men may kill and eat ? A
vicarious life is that of the hog.
But the cows live on "Easy"
street and claim those inalienable
rights that should not be allowed
them. They should not be given
unlimited liberty to blockade the
sidewalks, to draw flies and bellow
just to see how many people who
are susceptible to wakefulness they
can keep awake.
It is not right, gentlemen of
the Board, and the law relative
to the cow should be enforced as
that concerning the hog.
A prospective capitalist on com
ing to such a place would not l>e
apt to consider such a town pro
gressive.
Concert of Hamilton Academy
Hamilton, N. C., June 5. —The
annual concert of Hamilton Acade
my given under the direction of
Mrs. WHS. Glidstone'Tast Friday*
night (June Ist), was greatly ap
preciated by the public as well as
the patrons of the school.
Mrs. Gladstone, who has charge
of the musical department, has re
ceived many congratulations for
having organized and managed
such an entertainment. Her work
in the school has been very grati
fying, and in a large degree the
cultural development of the chil
dren in this school is due to her
efforts. The success of her de
partment has far exceeded the ex
pectation of its promoters, and it
is now seeu to Ik* a necessity in any
and all schools to give the pupils
full rounded culture, such we feel
more keenly since listeuing to the
children trained under this compe
tent and efficient directress.
We never can tell what is in any
child until some patient and com
petent friend brings it out to the
public; this, I am sorry to say, has
not been done in our school for the
past two or three years.
This concert is an example of
the patient and substantial work
of Mrs. Gladstone, and it is hoped
that she will again train the little
folks of our town for another en
tertainment at the end of the next
ten months of school, so children
as well as parents will have some
thing to look forward to when they
have studied and toiled over exer
cises and scales so long.

We Need Factories*.
To the Editor:— The last article
that I wrote and which was pub
lished In THK ENTERPRISE was
reproduced in the columns of at
least'five newspapers. I discover
ed this fact by a mere circumstance.
One editor made quite a good deal
of it. So you see that THE EN
TERPRISE is read far beyond the
limits of Martin county and is'
therefore a fine advertising me
dium. The second observation
that 1 make upon this fact is that
the intelligent reading public have
no time to waste on the rattle of
the dead bones of past issues. The
present generation is living in the
to-day and ts planning for the
future. Times have changed and
brought fresh possibilities and
new responsibilities. The man or
the community which does not re
alize this fact will be passed by iu
the march of progressive events
And the fact that he has his mouth
open and mutters his dissent will
be poor compensation for him.
The world is moving and we must
keep up with it or we will be un
doubtedly characterized as "back
numbers."
I have read with a great deal of
interest your editorial iu the last
issue of your paper under the cap
tion, "factories —We Now Need."
Your contribution to this imput
taut industry is very timely. One
of the first questions which arises
iu the mind of a stranger iu this
town is, "I wonder why they have
not built factories here?" And
when he goes out in the country
and observes the vast stretches of
arable lauds he is led to marvel
more and more upon the lack of
the people to seize upon the oppor
tunity which they have. A cotton
factory or an oil mill established
here would pay large dividends to
the stock-holders. It would bring
several hundred people to the town
and would largely increase the
sales of our merchants. In fact it
would put a great deal of money
into local circulation.
I trust that the business men in
this community jvi" get together
at once aud launch forth such all
enterprise. If we can get one es
tablished many other industries
will follow.
Some years ago I advocated the
building of a cotton mill in the
town iu which I was stationed. Iu
one week I had secured the
amount necessary to build and
equip the mill. But there was one
old ecclesiastical drake, swimming
around iu the pessimistic pond of
fogyism, who said that I ought to
look after the souls of the people
and let everything else alone. Uu
fortunately I listened to him and
quit the enterprise, and they have
no mill there to-day. I have uevei
quite forgiven myself for d'oping
the matter. His contention was
that I ought to look simply after
the souls of the people. But I
have found wit since that you can
not build up the material interest
of a town on souls and that even a
minister cannot live 011 souls. If
such were possible then I would
live and prosper on my own soul.
I have deli!>erately reached the
conclusion that it i» my religious
duty to IK* in every affair
which affects the well being of the
jteople to whom I preach. My
Lord was even anxious that wine
should be supplied at a marriage
feast.
I want to see the town of Wil
liamston a manufacturing center.
We have every facility for that
end. The reason that our people
have not moved in that direction is
evidently because they have not
seriously considered the matter.
Let us have a factory. lam anx
ious to assist as far as I cau. Keep
up the agitation, Mr. Editor, aud
success will crown your efforts, and
the people generally will be benefit

To the Editor: —How many men
there are (and sometimes women)
who smile upon strangers and
sometimes," upon friends, but who
forget to smile upon their own
family circles Of course this is
hypocritical and mean. If there is
anybody in the world who should
have your smile, your commenda
tion, and your help, it is the mem
bers of your own family who toil
and sacrifice with you day by day.
Their happiness ought to be your
happiness; theii success your suc
cess; their need your need. The
man who wisely helps his children
get on their feet in the world and
prepares them for success amid the
sharp competition about them is
the man who can look to his chil
dren for help in his time of need.
This illustration has its parallel
in the attitude of men toward borr.t
enterprises. They condemn every
industry in their home town ot
community and put every obstacle
in the way of its progress, unless it
contributes directly to their in
come. They cannot realize that
every successful enterprise in a
community contributes something
to every other enterprise in thai
community.
There are men in Martin county
county (vttue of them intelligent
men) who do not patronize their
county paper. They preter giving
their dollar to the New York
World, the Atlanta Constitution or
to some other concern that does
not need their help and will help
them very little compared to the
good they get from their home
paper. The home paper should
have first pUce; for if it succeeds
it will add to the credit of the
whole county.
There are those who on account
of some little personal feeling will
withdraw their money from the
home bank, refuse to patronize the
home merchant, condemn the home
school, slander their own church,
til to their own discredit and hurt
We should not think men dishon
est because they see things differ
eutly from ourselves. It is to the
interest of every man that every
creditable home enterprise should
succeed. If everybody else suc
cee Is you cau't help succeeding.
Success and thrift are as contagious
as small pox. liven one success
ful business in a community sends
its thrill to every other business;
and ii they are not dead there will
soon be a re-awakening throughout
the entire community.
We boast of patriotism. Let us
bring it/nearer home and be patri
otic to our neighbor, to our town,
to our county and State, as well as
to the Nation. Let us be patriotic
in praise and patronage as well as
with weapons of war.
Patent Hedlclnes and Poverty.
The scope of the National Con
ference Slid Cfiri'c'CtlWlis
enlarges every year. The meeting
recently held in Philadelphia was
by far the largest since its incep
tiou. More than two thousand
paying members were registered
The meetings were overflowed with
subjects as well as with people, aud
a large and important one was in
troduced in relation to children,
viz., the formation of a National
Conference of juvenile improve
ment associations, which shall be af
filiated with this Conference. There
was au animated discussion on im
migration. If applause is a test of
an assembly's views, the Confer
ence approved the views of Miss
Emily Batch, professor of econom
ics at Wellesley. She advocated
putting more responsibility upon
the steamship companies, and sug
gested that two official representa
tives of the government—a man
and a woman—-be maintained by
the steamship companies 011 every
vessel to advise aud aid the emi
grants. Many subjects of perhaps
minor importance, at first sight,
were discussed. Among them was
the relation of poverty to patent
medicines. Some of the figures
given, however, were startling. In
many places nine-tenths of the
money spent for such compounds
is paid out by very poor people It
is quite impossible to secure facts
giving the entire amount expended
for these nostrums, but iu one dis
trict of a large city the sales of one
pateut medicine amounted in one
month to $6 ,300; of another to $2,-
800. Not a twentieth of this goes
to the homes of the middle class or
the well-to-do. It is consumed by
the very poor, who manage to get
money enough for patent medicines
and then depend on benevolence for
fnel and food. This sum of nearly
ten thousand dollars expended in
one month, in one small district of
a city, for harmful stuff, would have
gone far toward meeting genuice
wants Cocdine also is sold to the
amount of about five thousand dol
lars a week in one city to the very
poor. Certain countries prohibit
the manufacture and sale of such
patent medicines, greatly to the
annoyance of those who make them
here, but it is a method that saves,
the pockets as well as the healta of
the people.—The Outlook.
