WM. CHRISTIAN MAHIfWG
One ot Kama's Most Pramiaeat
Citizens—A Faithful tad Bffl
cieat Public Servant
It is always easy to write of a
man whose deeds speak eloqueiitly
of his interest in his fellow citizens.
Everybody is Mr. Manning's neigh
bor. He knows no distinctions in
society. He is equally interested
in everybody. The poor always
find his purse strings open. He
is no politician, and yet, he is true
to the democratic party. Mr. Man
ning ts anything but narrow in his
views. His life is exemplary. On
Sunday you will find him in some
congregation of worshipers, and be
ing gifted, he uses his voice in the
choir singing the cherished senti
ments of the immortal poets. Dur
ing the busy days of the week he
is in hit office, looking after every
interest intrusted to his care. Mr.
Manning ts aft ideal servant of the
people, fully justifying the honor
that lias been conferred upon him.
He is uaturally a modest man and
is absolutely a strange} to the vice
of deceit. He would never have
beeu in public life if he had not'
been pulled out by the people. He
is awkward in a political hand
shake. He doe? not know how to
affect anything. He is a sincere
and honest man, with no tricks or
political traps. This is possibly
the reason why the plain and hon
est people of Martin County have
called him into service. He is lit
erally a self made man. He has
forged his way to the front. But
in this he is like many of the great
men of church and state.
By reading the history of civil
ized countries, it is a remarkable
fact that the men who have been
the most useful have been those
who have made their way to the
top against the greatest difficulties.
He was born in Griffin's Town
ship, Martin county, February 3,
1871. His parents, John W. and
Sarah M. Manning, did what they
could to give him an education,
availing themselves of the opportu
nities afforded by the public schools.
Mr. Manning was raised on the
wL ' ***
■k 4 «
farm. And knows what farm life
is. He is in Sympathy with the
agricultural pursuits of our people.
He has ploughed many a day and
knows all about the trials, failures
and triumphs ot farm life. He has
kept himself posted on farming,
and has never quite gotten over
tbfc training of his boyhood days.
In fact, he prides himself that be
came from the country, that be is
the son of a farmer, and that he is
in love with farm life.
Mr. Manning was elected Register
of Deeds by the Democratic party
in 1898. And has served the peo
ple in that capacity for eight years.
It is a little remarkable that the
voice of the people should call him
to that position for the fifth ferm.
But they are unwilling to let a man
go whose service has been so faith
ful, and the probability is that he
will serve the people in office until
be voluntarily withdraws from
public life. He was literally
brought ont by the people; and is
the same humble man that he was
before be was elected to office
During the eight years of service
rendered the people of Martin
County he has been most courteous;
and alwavs ready and willing to
render any service asked of him,
no matter who the person asking
the service, nor bow tedious and

trying might be the task imposed
upon him. .He has spent time and
money to furnish infortnttkra to
those asking it, for which he has
not received one penny in return,
and in many instances not even
thanks. Yet, with all this, he is
the aame pleasant, affable gentle
man that he was while serving his
first term: In fact, it seems that
the longer he serves the people, the
more courteous and considerate lie
becomes.
Mr. Manning has been elected a
member of the Board of Trustees
of the Williams ton Graded School,
and is secretary of that board. The
people of Williaiuston regard him\
as one of the most efficient mem
bers of the school board. Mr.
Manning visits the shool iu Wil
liamston, makes talks to the child
ren and encourages the teachers.
He stands for the intellectual,
moral aud religious interest of liis
people. He i| also secretary and
treasurer of the Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Association of North
Carolina, Martin County Branch.
He moved to Williamstoii immedi
ately after his election to office.
He has been living in the town ever
since, and is one of Williamston's
most desirable citizens. He has
done much for the social and reli
gious life of the community. And
is alwavs ready to engage n every
good work.
Mr. Manning is easily one of the
leading men of the county. He
has the ability, confidence and re
spect of everybody and will be a
factor in the politics of Martin
County for years to come. The
people know hiinand appreciate his
ability and have the fullest confi
dence in his integrity. The public
record of such au officer ought to
be appreciated by him aud by the
people at large. We are sure that
everybody has a pardonable pride
in the record which he has made
as a servant ot the people. ■
Mr. Manning is a young man,
and his neighbors have a great deal
to expect of him. But perhaps he
is stronger in his home life than
any where else. He is devoted to
his wife aud children. Frequently
he may lie seen leading his tiuy
tots along the streets, absorbed in
them and the things that thev are
interested in. We need more men
like Mr. Manning in our county;
men who are iu sympathy with
every class of people; men who love
the right, and who stand |for prog
ress; men who will dare to do the
right, and who puts principle above
everything else.
Mr. Mauning is one of our sub
scribers to The Enterprise and is
appreciative of the mission of this
paper. But no one would suppose
that such a man could be Unmind
ful of claims of his paper upon
him. We confidently expect that
he will fill an office of greater im
portance than that which he now
occupies.
When a horse is so overworked
it lies down and in other ways de
clares its inability to go further,
you would consider it criminal to
u*e force. Many a man of humane
impulses, who not willingly
h«rm a kttten is guilty of cruelty
where his own stomach »» con
cerned. Overdriven, overworked
when what i( needs is something
that will digest the food eaten and
help* the stomach recuperate.

WHEELER MARTIN
Another of Martin County's
Prominent Men* a Fine
Lawyer and a Busi
ness Man of Rare
Ability |
It is about a matter of impossi
bility to write a brief sketch of the
life of Mr. Martin without saying
something about everv public enter
pise in the town of Williamston, or
in Martin County. 0e loves the
people of his county, could not be
inducrd live any where else and
boasts that he is here to stay. He
thinks that there are no people who
«re equal to the citizen of Martin
county. One of the desire* of his
heart is to live here mid be buried
in the soil of his native county.
He is distinctly a Southern man,but
he is broader in his views than
local conditions would suggest. He
U connected with nearly every in-
flkf ■[
' * JM
stitution, involving the confidence
and money of the people.
He first saw the light in the
county of Martin. He occupies a
prominent position before his coun
trymen. He is a broadminded pub
lic spirited citizen. When he sees
that any movement would be bane
ficiil to himself and helpful to his
neighbors, he walks, talks and
pays, until it is accomplished. Mr.
Martin is not a stingy man. The
element of selfishness does not enter
into his makeup. When he thinks
of himself he thinks of his neigh
bor. It is difficult to omerestimate
the value of such a man to a com
munity. He is liberal in his con
tiibutions to every good .cause.
Much of hi* charity is only known
to those who are personally bene
fited He has descended from a
good family. His people were
among the old settlers of the countv
and did much to build up the ma
terial interest of the town. His
grandfather was a Methodist preach
er, and lived about one hundred
yards from where Mr. Martin now
.resides.
Mr. Martin was horn July 9, 1861
in Williamston. He has been iden
tified with the people of Martin
County all his life. He has a great
many irons in the fire, but he never
lets any uf them burn, in tbis re
spect Mr. Martin is a remarkable
mau. It is not often the case that
•a man can operate a dozen enter
prises without neglecting some of
them. But Mr. Martin is an ex
ception to the rule. He is a fine
farmer. He knows what to plant
and bow to cultivate his crops ae-
cording to modtrn methods He
owns some valuable laud near Wil
li a mst on, not to mention., hia prop
erty iu the town. It would be
right difficult to get at his real fi
nancial rating. He has so much l'n
so many different directions. But
Mr. Martin keeps up with it all.
He is a very successful lawyer, a
good student of human nature aud
has a through knowledge of the
laws of his country.
He was admitted to the bar
iin 188 a. He has practiced law in
Martin County ever since. Mr.
Martin is distinctly a businesa man.
he ia President of the Bank of Mar
tin County. He ia a stockholder
in the Farmera and Merchata Bank.
He is a stockholder and director
iu the Williaiuston Telephone
Company. He is Secretary and
Treasure of the Martin Live Stock
Company. He is one of the direc
tors of the Tobacco Company. He
is a stockholder in the Southern
Veneer Company. He is a atock
holder in a Steam Boat Company.
He was largely instrumental in get
ting the new road, an extenaion
of Main Street to Wild Cat road.
Mr. Martin is now inteersted in
building a cotton factory in Wil
liamston, of course it will be built,
for be is one the few men who bring
things to pass. He is a lover of
home, an ettectlouate husband and
an indulgent lather. He attends
church and always enjoys the ser
vices. He is a good neighbor and
is kind heated.
MONUMENT TO DR. M'IVER
Appeal to the People ot North Caro
lina to Brect Heroic Bronze
Statute to Perpetuate His
■ Memory
To the people of North Carolina:
Dr. Charles D. Mclver devoted
hia life to the service of his people.
No man ot our day ttta* rendered
gt eater and more lasting service.
Moved by love of his people and
consciousness of his mission and
duty, at great financial sacrifice,
he rejected tempting offers front
time to time to leave "the State
and to enter the commercial
world at home. His life stands
out perhaps the highest ideal in
this generation of North Carolin
ians of unselfish civic service. We
believe that the people, whom he
served in so many ways, with «o
much fidelity, ability aud love, will
deem it a privilege and an honor
to contribute to a tund for the
erection of au heroic brorze statue
to perpetuate jiis memory. The
undersigned committee, therefore,
appointed by the governer of the
State, earnestly appeals to the cit
izens of Noith Carolina, who love
their State and honor unselfish ser
vice to send at once a liberal con
tribution for this memorial.
The statue shall be worthy of
the man and his people. It is hop
ed therefore that at least (15,000
may be contributed. Fifty men
and women in North Carolina could
easily contribute SIOO.OO each; one
hundred men and womomen $50.00
each; two hundred men and wom
en $25.00 each; two hundred men
and women $lO each and a host of
men and women will, we believe,
gladly contribute smaller amounts.
Let all express their gratfcude for
unselfiish service rendered by a
contribution to this worthy causes
The committee will make ev;ry ef
fort to raise the necessary funds
within the next thirty or sixty days
Let the responses be prompt.

Improvement at Jackson, Tenn., are
IwcrHwd In a bulletin Issued by the
United State* department of agricul
ture.
During the spring and rammer of
I*o6, MJTI the bulletin, the office of
public roada co-operated with Sam O.
Lancaster, city engineer of Jackson
and chief engineer of the Madison coun
ty good roada commission, In making a
eertea of careful experiments to de
termine the value of coal tar for the
Improvement of macadam streets and
-roads. Testa were also made of the
utility of crude Texas oil and several
grades of Ita residue when applied to
earth and macadam roads.
The macadam streets In the business
center of Jackson were built originally
of the hard siliceous rock known aa
tIUWO A nOAD AT JACISOX, TIM.
novaculltc. About May lfi 1000, after
fifteen years of wear, repair of tbese
streets became necessary. The old sur
face was first swept clean with a Ijorso
sweeper so aa to expose the solid pave
ment beneath. This was done because
tar will not penetrate a road surface
which 1a covered with dust and looee
material. Next, the surfsce was loos
ened by means of spikes placed In the
wheels of a ten ton steam roller, the
street reahaped and new material add
ed where needed. The road was then
sprinkled, rolled, bonded and finished
to form a hard, compact, even surface
and allowed to dry thoroughly before
cither tar or oil was applied, for nei
ther substance can penetrate a moist
read surface. The beat results are ob
taliuwl whan «» i
dry weather, and accordingly the tar
waa first applied In August. It may be
well to add that the novacullte used In
the construction of ths roada Is an al
most nana baorbent rock.
The tar used waa a byproduct from
the manufacture of coke and wn prac
tically free from moisture. It was
brought to a temperature whlcb gener
ally reached 210 degrees F., but when
placed on the road It was reduced to a
temperature from 100 degrees to 100
degrees F. The hottest tar produced
the best results. It was spread with
bose.
Laborers, with street cleaners'
brooms of bamboo fiber, followed the
tank and swept the surplus tar ahead.
They spread It as evenly and quickly
ss possible snd In a layer only thlcK
enough to cover the surface. One side
of the street was finished at a time
and barricades placed to keep off the
traffic until the tar had had time to
soak Into the surfacs. The time al
lowed for this process waa varied
from a few hours to several days.
l'"rom the results obtained It can be
stated that under a hot sun, with the
road surface thoroughly compact, clean
and dry and with the tar heated al
most to the boiling point and applied
aa described above, the road will ab
sorb practically all of It In eight or ten
hours. A light cost of clean sand,
screenings or the clesn particles swept
from the surfacs of the road may then
be spread aa evenly as poeelble and
rolled lu with a steam roller.
After more than seven months. In
cluding ths winter season of 1806-06,
the tarred streets and roada are still
In excellent condition. They are bard,
smooth and resemble asphalt, except
that they show a more gritty surfsce.
The tar forms a part of the surface
psoper and la In perfect bond with the
macadam. Bectloua cut from the
streets show that the tar has penetrat
ed from oae to two Inches, and the One
black llnee seen In the Interstices be
tween the Individual stones show that
the mechanical bond has been re-en
forced by the penetration of the tar.
The tar la a matrix into which the
stones of the surface srs set, forming
a conglomerate or concrete. A second
coating applied a year after the first
would require much less tar than the
first, as the Interstices of tbe rock
would then be filled with tar.
A tarred street Is dustless in the
same aenae that a'u asphalt atreet la
dustless, though a flue sandy powder
wears off, ss In tbe case of asphalt.
It can be swept or washed clean. These
streets hsve since been swept regularly
and tbe city government Is In favor of
treating all of the streets with tar.
Tbe cleaning that would soon ruin an
ordinary macadam road does not In
jure the tarred surface, as the stones
are not torn up or disturbed. The tar
Itaelf has antiseptic properties; hence
Ita use would be beneficial both as a
germicide and as a means of securing
cleanliness
Aiswsaaat CM Meads.
It la estimated that the summer
travel of Maine annually brings Into
the state between f18.000.000 and *16,-
000,000, and It Is argued that It could
bo Incraaaod by the addition of several
millions more If Improved roads were
unlvscaal.
