MARTIN SHOULD HAVt A HAND IN THIS. The agricultural department ol the State ha* in the course of de velopinent a scheme which is cal culated to aid much in bringing to the State a most desirable class of Immigrants. In this work tht department should have the ful and earnest co-operatiou of all oui citizens who take an interest in tht development of our State. I lit department cannot do much unless it has the support aud co-operation of the people. It has put the plan in operation, or, rather, is prepar ing to do so, and it should be pre pared to show to the peopie among whom it sends its agents that il has the backing of the people ol State. In explanation of the pro posed action of the State agricul tural department we find the fol lowing editorial in the Charlotte Chronicle: ——- a ' 'The Chronicle has received si circular letter from Mr. T. K. Bruner, secretaiy of the State Board of Agriculture, which is of interest K. real estate men—which in fact, is addressed to them. He is to make a tour of the Northern and New England fairs this fall and will carry a portable exhibit of the resources of the State. The object, says the circular, is to at tract to this State, capital and the better class of immigrants leaving those States, and who have means enough to buy a home, even though it may be an humble one. 'To make the work as effective and far reaching as possible,' says tht circular, Mr. Brimley and myself, who have the work in charge, de sire the aid and co operation ol every real estate agency, chamber of commerce, l>oard of trade, 01 i>tlier organization working tor the development of the community in which it is located. This may la test done by preparing a card, folder or pamphlet ami forwarding the same for distribution from the exhibit, and which will give nana « and address of agent or orgrniza lion, a|id describe proj>erty and the opportunity for investment which is offered. Small and illustrated literature is not expensive and is more effective as it is carried away in the pocket." When is a trust not a trust? When it is busted by sending tlu conspirators to the workhouse. When Congress meets again, tin song that will fit some of the inetu bers will be "He Never Came Back." Upton Sinclair is now reported to be muck-raking in Pittsburg i,He ought to find something in that town to suit hiiu. On the day when the automo bile doesn't kill a few, sOinelioth keeps the average up by rocking the boat. Senator Beveridge recently a«l mitted that be doesn't know Un meaning of the expression "tush ing the can." The Senator must keep a case of "it" in his cellar One of the peculiar features ol the social tragedy in New York was the apparent reluctance of any one to defend the name of the tnur dered man. New York will grevtly regre' no doubt, that it didn't have pre vious warning of the fact that Mi, Thaw and Anthony Comstock bat 1 hitched «p together to chase Vice. WHY PONDS OF WATER ON THE STREETS? After a rain citizens of Williams ton have to cioss in mud from one side of streets to another, or go around a block, to avoid wading 111 ponds of backed up water on the streets. Why this when the town naturally has good drainage? Because the gutters are not kept open, and because apparently there is no attention paid to the coudi lion of the streets. IT'S UP TO THE COnniSSION ERS. Is it well to teach people to dis, regard law? This is what is being done by the authorities of Wil lianistom by creating law and not enforcing it. It is a violation of law for cattle to run at large inWil liamston at night and the town is full of cows every night running at large. It is the duty of the con stable to take up such cattle. Why is it not done? Does this not get the people in the habit of disre gardiug the law? It's up to the commissioners Ui have this law en forced or repeal it. IT IS (IRATIFYINO. It is very gratifying to know of the many good things which are being said by our subscribers about this pai>er. With a little effort on the part of our friends we will In able to put The Enterprise in every home In Martin county The Editor's Toast. At an editorial convention, says an exchange, a country editor of fered the following toast: "To save an editor from starva tion take his paper and pay him for n promptly. "To save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his papei lilterully. To save him from des pair send him every item of news ot which you get hold. To save him from profanity, write your cortvsspoudence plainly on one side of the paper and send it in as early as possible. To save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who make no mistakes. Newspaper readers would do well to remember that there are no jierfect people, editors or readers. A sweet breath adds to the joys of a kiss. You wouldn't want to kiss your wife, mother or sweet heart with a bad breath You can't Irnvr—a sweet —breath without a healthy stomach. You can't have a healthy stomach without perfect digestion. There is only one rem edy that digests what you eat and makes the breath a-> sweet as a rose—ami that remedy is KODOL KOR DYSPKPSIA. It is a relief for sour stomach, palpitation of the heart, and other ailments aris "i'j from disorder of the stomach .id digestion Take a little Kodol alter you r meals and see what it will do for you.

These Dwellers followed two dlntlnct systems In forming a support for their dwelling* The flrat wu that of pile driving, the a«cond wu lb at of lelarnt making, in the former case pi leu were driven Into the lake and a platform erected upon these on which the hotiaea were built. In the caee of the latter, mass* /* of timber, mud and alone* were dumped in ahallow water, and on thla artificial Island dwellings were then made. The Lake Dwellers flourished thou sands of yean ago. but their system of building, strange to say, has been followed at a later date by clvlllred people. Quito a number of the world's farooup cities stand in the border of the nea or in low places surrounded .
