Good roads we must have. Let
'every man. woman and child in the
county take up the cry of GOOD
ROADS.
The farmers o» Martin County
who failed to attend the meeting
held last Saturday at the Court
House missed a great deal.
It is no small job foi a congress
man to give to his constituents,
such an opportunity as that given
by Mr. Small last Saturday. Al
though the Department of Agricul
ture is run for the benefit of the
farmers, and the farmers can de
mand the service of any of the ex
perts at any time the occasion war
rants it, it is quite au undertaking
for a v congressman to practically
bring the Department to the farm
ers door. This means a great in
crease in the work for Mr. Small
and the farmers in his district
should appreciate his efforts in
their behalf.
The Suggestions made and the
advice given by the gentlemen
from the department are well
worth heeding aud putting into
practical use. These men have de
voted years to hard study and ex
periment in order to know the
things they spoke about and it
stands to reason that they know
what they talk about.
It is gratifying to know that Mr.
Small will continue these meetings,
as well as give a tobacco day
during the wiuter, and. in behalf
of the farmers of Martin County
The Knterprise extends sincere
thanks to Mr. Small and party.

EDUCATIONAL MEETING
The educational meeting, under
the direction of Hon. John H.
Small, Member of Congress from
this District, was called to order at
11 o'clock last Saturday morning
by Mr. Henry Slade Chairman.
Mr. SmalJ explained the object of
the meeting, which was to assist
the farmers in every way possible.
For years the U. S.' Goveruient
has maintained a Department of
Agriculture, aud the duty of this
department is to gather statistics
from all sources, and to experi
ment in crop production lor the
benefit of the individual farmer.
This department has in its employ
the best men it can find—all ex
perts in their respective lines
these men are studying the crop
conditions of all the country and
are doing it for the information of
the farmers. The farmers of this
district were not availing them
selves of this opportunity, and Mr.
Small realized what tliev were
missing and took it upon himself
to bring the farmers in his district
in closer touch with the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The farm
ers of the country pay foi the
maintenance of this department
and if they do not take advantage
of the valuable information gained
in this way, the department is not,
filling the mission for which it%a.v
created.
Mr. Small introduced Mr. F. G.
Plummer one of the experts who
spoke upon Forestry. Mr. J'lutu
rner informed his hearers that at
the present consumption of timber
and the present methods of cutting
it. it would take only about thirty
five years to deplete the forests of
the entire country. He stated
however that if the farmer, or
timber owner, would use discre
tion in the marketing of bis timber
that the could be made
perpetual. V s -
Dr. J. A. Bousteel of the bureau
of soils, spoke tor some time upon
the subject of soil and its utiliza
tion. Dr. Bonsteel thoroughly
understands his subject and knows
how to handle it. He condemned
b
in strong terms the habit of a great
many farmers of this section of the
country of buying hay aud meat,
and also the habit of using so
much commercial fertilizer. He
suggested the raising of more food
stuffs and the mixing fertilizers
upon the farm. In mixing the
fertilizer himself the farmer knows
what he is using and is putting
money lU his pocket, as he is not
then paying the manufacturer for
the privilege of letting him niake
it, nor is he paying for a lot of
sand. Dr. Bonsteel stated that «ye
had enough sand in this section
without buying it from the manu
facturer of fertilizers.
After dinner Mr. Boykin, the
cotton expert, was introduced and
he talked iutelligently and interest
ingly upon cotton, especially the
selection of the seed. His advice
toths farmers was to select the
best plants in his field and from
these plants select the best bolls,
and from these bolls the best aud
heaviest seed, aud not take any
and every seed tnaVcame to hand.
The result of the crop lies in the
care taken inyselecting the seed.
Mr, Boykin made suggestions that
if followed will benefit the farmers
of.this county.
The last subject, but not by any
uieaus the least was that of roads.
Mr. W. L, JSJOOII, of the good
roads department, was the next
speaker. Mr. Spoon lias been in
Mnrtiu County before and knows
souiethiug about the roads here,
and he knows that we have the
material to make good roads. In
opening his remarks he asked what
benefit would be gained by materi
ally increasing the farm products
if the farmers had to
over bityl roads. He N
it would not be better to pay a tax
to good roads than to pay a tax to
bad roads. Mr. Spoon informed
his audience that it takes work to
inaks good roads; and it takes the
projier drainage to keep the road
in good condition. The l>est thing
for keeping a road in coifdition,
said Mr. Spoon, is tliei "King
Drag". At this point souiethiug
was said about Mr. Alfred Gray
Griflin having a dray that was a
good one, and thought to better
than the "King Drag '.
Mr. Spoon's talk was recived
with strict attention, and it merit
ed it, as good roads is at the present
time the greatest need of Martin
County.
After these speakers were through
Mr. Small ahnouueed that there
would be a meeting sometime in
January devoted exclusively to the
tobacco crop. He stated that
there would be four or five ex
erts who would take up tobacco
troiu the selection of the seed and
discuss the methods o( handling it
until ready for the warehouse
floors. He also stated that another
meeting, like the one held Satur
day. only better if it could be made
so, would be held sometime next
summer.
At the close of the meeting the
farmers offered resolutions of
thanks to Congressman Small and
party for the valuable information
imparted to tlietu.
The Limit ot Lite
The most eminent medical
scientists are unanimous in the
conclusion that the generally ac
cepted limitation of hum it n life is
many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced know
ledge ol which the race is now
possessed. The critical period,
that determines its duration, seems
to be between 50 ami 60; the pro
,per care of the body during this de
cade cannot be too strongly urged,
carelessness then hging fatal to
longevity. Nature's best helper
after 50 is Electric Bitters, the
scientific tonic*medicine that revit
alizes every organ of the l>o ly.

Mr. and Mrs. Few of Goldsboro,

On last FridSy there were very
heavy breaks of tobacco in all the
warehouses here, some 20,000 lbs.
were sold. During the week
smaller offeriugs of the leaf were
made, and prices ranged according
to the qualiy of the tobacco, as
high an average as elsewhere.
I desire to say to the tobacco
farmers of Martin aud surrounding
counties that to command the best
prices you must learn how to grade
crops better. The writer of this
article, has been a farmer for many
years, Iris raised, graded, and sold
many thousands of pounds of the
leaf, and his long experience has
taught him that the neater the
bundles, the more uniform in qual
ity, color and size of the leaf the
better the prices obtained. I no

brought to this market all tied up
in unsightly bundles, which in this
condition forces the buyers to pay.
less than he otherwise would do
but any one conversant with tobac
co either as a producer, buyer or
manufacturer knows, that the
buyer is foicedto buy such tobacco
at a low price for there is the addi
tional cost of regrading which the
buyer must pay, which the farmer
should do before he brings his to
bacco to market, thereby obviating
the unnecessary expense of extra
assorting aud then commanding
a lietter price.
While on this subject permit me
to advise the farmers, (for I put
your interest at heart) cure your
tobacco as nice as you cau, under
stand how to handle it after curing
and then grade it very carefully,
aud all low classed lugs which are
entirely useless on the ma

All grades of tobacco have advanced, and I think now is a good
tiuie to sell all your high color tobaccos. Itfrave had a .sale every day
since niv opening day and while we had some kicking ou the opening,
I want to say we got as much as any market in North Carolina. And
now my sales are pleasing every man that sells with me ou the Roan
oke Warehouse Floor. It is a pleasure to me to send my friends home
pleased with their sales, and I am doing that now on every sale.
I am determined to sell tobacco and shall not let any warehouse
man here or at any other plnce beat me, in prices.
I have spent my life iu the warehouse business, commencing when
ouly 13 years of age, and I study my business day and night too, in
fact I dream about it. s .
I have worked hard this summer in the field, plowed, topped and
cured tobacco myself and I amiu a position to know the farmers needs
and wants, and what they should have, and what they SHALL bftve
wheii they briug tobacco to my warehouse.
We have a large STEAM TOBACCO PLANT in Williamston,
owned by the Tobacco Board of Trade, therefore it ia built for any
body who may want their tobacco redried. We claim (and justly so)
that we can pay more for tobacco than other small markets who have
not steam drying plants.
Now my friends I want to say to you in honest words if you will
bring your tobacco and put it on the Roanoke Warehouse Floor I will
give you a good price.
I have not come here to Steal and Beat and leave tomorrow, I
have come among yon to LIVE AND BB ONE OP YOU, and
to build up the market and 1 good business for myself, and to do this
I know I have got to give as much for tobacco as and market and that
I shall at %11 times do. I _yill look for you oa the Roanoke Warehouse
