One day at a time conscientiously
lived up to will keep the eyes bright
and the cheeks round and rosy.
Don't begin to worry about things
days beforehand. It will l>e time
enough when they happen. It is
the dread of what may come, not
what it is that makes one old bcfoie
the time. If you lie awake half tlie
night worrying al>out something
that is going to occur the next
morning you will be far less able to
fact bravely atid work out the prob
leni than if you had made an effort
and thought uf something else till
sleep came. It is not half as hard h»
it sounds and w ill grow easier ever) ,
time you try it. Perhaps after all the
disaster will not befall you or will
be less awful than you anticipated
and just think what a lot ol miner
ess.iry wrinkles you have worried
into your face.
Many a person goes down in de- j
feat under life's burden, unhelped, j
unchcered, and when the eyes are!
closed and the hands folded, then
conies, too late, love enough to j
have Untied the battle and given'
victory.
. "A war of words between Till j
man and Carmack is worth going ;
miles to hear", thinks the Atlanta j
Journal, but not since those free
passes have been abolished.
Hall Caine's son has gone 011 tin ■
stage. He can make quite a hit ;
with bis pa by murdering Shake ;
spe.ire at his earliest convenience.,
Swettenham has resigned, but it
will take more than an earthquake
to shake Piatt and Depew from
their perch. -
"What will Paradise be compared
to Milwaukee?" asks the Free
Press of that bibulous, burg, Well,
for one thing, there will be niOit
milk and honey and less beer.
The sensationalists who insist on
the U. S. going to war with Japan,
are about' 10,000 miles from where
the shooting could begin.
In trying to abolish the Indian
school at Carlisle with its crack
football |eaut, the Senate seems to
be following Roosevelt's advice to
''hit the center hard."
A Georgia paper says "He who
rides on the rail courts death". Ii
was an Irishman ridden mi a rail,
who said th it except for the bom r
of the thing, he would just as soon
walk.
According to the President's
ultimatum the States must regit
late,child labor or the "Big Stick'
will.

THE KODOL ALMANAC
E. C. DeWitt & Co., ol Chicago Send
Supply of Valuable Refer
ence Literature
The Enterprise today has riceived
from the S. R Biggs. Pharmacy,
of this city, n coyy of the 1907
Kodol Almanac and Two Hundred
Year Calendar, published and
owned by li. C. DeWitt Mi Co., of
Chicago. Through the courtesy of
' K, C. DeWitt & Co., these will be
j {iven free to the people of Wil
liamston who call at the S. R.
Kings Pharmacy.
There is no more distinctively
American institution than the Al
manac, and despite the changes
in American customs that the years
may make in other directions the
Almanac has come to stay.
It provides entertainment, busi
ness advice, health hints, weather
predictions and is invaluable as a
medium of general information.
-Dr. W. If. Wakefield of Char
lotte, N. C. will be in Williamston
at the Atlantic Hotel, ou Saturday
February 16 one day for the pur
pose of treating diseases of Kye,

Glasses.
The Scrap Book
Elsewhere in this issue we present -the first In
stallment of a new feature, the "Scrap Book,"
which we commend to the attention of our readera.
To neglect to read it would be as if one were to
fail to pick up a dollar bill which was honestly
one's own for the taking. He who reads will get
at least five or six laughs which will stir his liver,
kill the microbes in his system, and strengthen
his whole organism against disease, dejection,
cowardice and all other insidious enemies of our
kind. He will also be inspired by a noble little
poem, by pathetic and heroic paasages, and by the
wisdom of the wisest. He who reada will be a
better and happier soul for the reading.
Good as a dollar? By Jupiter, we wrong
ourselves by the comparison 1 It is good as health,
good as wisdom, good as laughter, good as sym
pathy and heroic example—good aa the most
precioua things known to us poor mortals struggling
through the mystery, toil and trouble of life!
An Installment Once a Week
IMPORTANT TRADE MARK DE
CISION
Lynchburg, Va., February 4th,
1907. —A decision of importance
to all manufacturer* of trad* mark
goods lias !>een awarded by Judge
| Pritchard in the United States Cir
cuit Court of this district.
The question involved was
whether the Allen Brothers Tobac
co Co , of Lynchburg, Va., has the
legal right to use on its "Trav
eler" brand of plug tobacco a tag
similiar in size, shape, color, and
slant of lettering, but different as to
wording, from that used by the R.
J. Kenolds Tobacco Co., of Winston
Salem, N. C., on its "Schnapps"
Plug Tobacco.
In the argument, 011 inoticn of
the plaintiff the R. J. Reynolds To
bacco Co., that a restraining order
lie'issued forbidding the defendant
company from further imitating its
tag, many affidavits were submitted
tending to show that owing to the
similarity of the tag, "the Trav
eler tobacco, purchased by dealers
at a lower price, was sold to uned
ucated chewers for "Schnapps".
In a decree signed by Judge
Pritchard the Allen Brother Tobac
co Company is enjoined from manu
facturing, putting up, advertising,
selling, or offering for sale plug to
bacco bearing a tag identical with
or like the said ta« of the complain
ant, known as the "Schnapps" tag.
According to this decissioti, no man
ufacturer can imitat ev*u in color,
shape, or style of lettering the trade
mark of another -manufacturer,
even through the word be entirely
different
