the duty of every democrat to
go to the polls next Tuesday
and cast 11 elean" balled, I jet 's
see how many democratic
ballots will be cast. Don't
stay away from the polls say
ing there will be enough votes
without mine. The responsi
bility of this government rests
upon each individual voter,
and he who stays away and
fails to vote is not a good citi
zen.
Election is here, and Ameri
cans are übo it to perform that
duty which alone can preserve
the liberties of this country.
If this sacred duty bo neg
lected, then it will be 11 short
time before those blessings of u
free government fur which tun
forefathers gave their lives and
fortunes, will bo sadly absent.
A representative government
is "just as good us the prople
will it", and no better.
If we wint good laws and
just legislation, then send only
those men to Congress and
legislature, that are "above
suspicion" and free from gralt
and "trust influence''.
SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
There has been a great deal of
sickness in this town duriug
the past month, more than has
ever been known in the his
tory of the town... If what
we have heard is true (and
we have been reliably inform
ed) about there being no fires
at the graded school these cold
days, there will be a great deal
more sickness in the near fu
ture- It is understood that the
children are not allowed to re
main in school to eat their lun
ches, but, are sent out into the
cold. It is bad enough to have
to eat a cold lunch beside a
nice warm (Ire, but when «t
comes to eatiDgone in the cold
like it has been for the piu>t
few dttys, then it becomes al
most unbearable..
The school trustees should
see that there is plenty of
eoal or wood at the school
house and that there is some
one to keep up the fires.
We call the attention of our
readers to Ihe announcement
in another column of the meet
ing of the Corporation Com
mission to be held in Williams
ton on the 14 th of November.
The object of the meeting is to
hear the people in the matter
of an extra train for this sec
tion
This is the opporlunity of
our jieople. Every man wo
man and child in Martin and
Halifax counties are dire Un
interested in this movement
Friends and neighbors if you

termination. and encn.irag
aging the discussion.
The Elizabeth City Kconcmist
lias the following ti say ahou'
dollar bills:
"A dollar bill mav carry to its re
ceiver the yilest infection. It is a
sponge that takes up filth and di
sease germs from every hand
through which it passes and from
everybody with whom.it comes in
contact. We hope our delinquent
subscriliers arc not holding back
their dollar bills for tear they may
carry some contagious disease to us.
If they are, we assure them we are
safe,- having had the mumps,
whooping-cough, measles, scarlet
fever, small-pox and a variety of
other diseases. So bring along your
dollar bills and we will give you a
nice clean receipt for them."
It is quite evident from the way
Martin county |>eople are holding
theit dollar bills that they are afraid
the Editor will catch some of the
disease germs their dollar bills
contain.
If this is so just whistle anil we
will liorrow a fumigating apparatus
aud oluce it in a cn«ivu««rr>».
so the bills can be thoroughly fum
igated liefore coining in contact
with us.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and im
proved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is token
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced bv the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex
pert tests prove that this flue cured

tobacco, grown in the famous
mont region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along
—one chewer makes other cnewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.
A IOC. plug of Schnapps is more
economical than a much larger ioc.
plug of cheap tobacco. Sola at 50c.
per pound in 5 C - cuts. Strictly 10
and 15 cent plugs.
