WHITMORB, Editor. ■atared at Um Voal Olßcc at Wtlltaaastoa, H. c. aa Saeaad Claaa Mall Matter. Friday, August 53,1907 " An exchange says there are two reasons why some people don't mind their own business. One is that they any mind, and itther is that they haven't any business. If the man who toils fourteen hours a day, wears overalls and a checkered shirt, and his wife wears a poor quality of calico, how does it happen that the fellow who neveT works at all wears broadcloth and his wife wears seal skin? Either run a town with a vim, or just sell out and loaf. One thing must be dot.e—run a town for all it is worth, get up steam and keep it up. Do you want trade? - Bid for it. Do you want business to come to your town? Encourage what you have. Do you want a prosperous town? Then never per mit the jealousies to rule your ac tions, but work together for com mon prosperity and mutual benefit. Every newspaper wants to pub lish the news. The l»etter the pa ~ per the more prosperous it will be. Local news items are especialy hard to run down. How many times have you, dear reader, been approached by fhc newspaper man for an item of news and you told him you new nothing of interest. Probably at the family were away on a visit or some one from out of town was visiting at your home. Of course you didn't mean to deceive the scribe, yet when you received your paper you wondered why your family or friends were not mentioned. A good way to avoid all of this is to kindly drop a note in office to the paper. The one item may not amount to much, but sev eral columns of such news is the life of a local paper. See? After all there is a good deal in - talk. Let a man talk dull times and it is infectious, everbody talks dull times. Instead of rustling around to take care of what busi ness there is, they all gp sit down and mope tfver dull times in "stores.. If a happen to drop J Into One of these 7V cliill times" 1 he actually gets frightened out of • one-half as much as lie expected to buy, because things look so blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves tohangon to his mon ey with a death grip, even if his business goes to pieces 011 account of running short of goods to fill up the empty shelves. The bug-bear of hard times should lie sat down upon. It is doing more to kill business than anything else. Tell n man he is sick l " v -keej> it up, and you will eventually houi\d him to death. One of our exchanges tells of an •old German who bad a boy of whom he was very proud, and decided to find out the trend of his mind. He adopted a novel method by which to test him. He slipped into the boy's room one niorniiig and placed upon his table a bottle of whiskey, a bible and a silver dollar. "Now", said he, "when dot boy conies in if he takes dot dollar he's going to be a beezuis man; if he takes dot Bible he's going to be a preacher, if he takes dot whiskey he's no good, and goit'g to be a drunkard.'' Then he hid behind a door to see which his son would choose, In came the boy whistling. He rati up to the table picked up Bible and put it under his arm, then snatch ed up the bottle took two or three drinks, picked up the dollar and put it in his pocket, and went out smacking his lips. The Dutchman _ poked his head out from behind the door and exclaimed: "Mein Got, he's going to be a holitician." I'll stop your pain free.

Recently the Lenoir News gave expression to its ideas on the sub ject of good roads, and its dis course is one of the best treatises we have seen for some time on this subject. We quote as follows: "There has been a great deal said in recent years about the white man's burden. And the reference is usually to the colored race, but, the burden of everybody in this part of the country is the absence of roads over which to travel and do business- The road question affects the development of the country to a far greater extent thnti the race question. When one lias occasion to travel over them he is sometime forced to almost cjues tiolnthe ability of the people to pro pel ly govern themselves. That intelligent people should, year after year, pull through the same mud hole and over the same hills, without taking some active steps to permanently improve the con ditions, seems incomprehensibly -strangeous. The want ol good roads is indeed every man's burden." Concerning the above,- The Ral eigh Tim?s says: "Excellent! Good for the I.enior News. This is one of the very best little preachments on the sub ject of good roads that we have ever seen. Kvery sentence in that short editorial sinks home. There is not a word too little that we can observe. What is called the white man's burden weighs down very low, and most of these few are the political agitators, but bad roads make every -pound weigh at least ten and every man that uses tlieni weigh less and less as his burden takes on more and more tonnage." We agree both of our coti teuipories on this subject. It does seem incomprehensible that sensi ble people can employ so much wisdom in some matters and so lit tle in others. Surely, as our couteiuporics note, there is noticed more pressing than the need of goo J roads,and 110 great er blessing than good roads. This licing so, let us all make ti united effotl to better and extend the roads of our county. Already Mecklenburg has spent much 011 her roads, but there iS a vast work to be done yet. The proposition to issue $300,000 in bonds, the greater part to be used for road im provement, should receive the hear tiest support of every man who be lieves that good roads pay.—Char lotte News. STATE FARHERS CONVENTION Raleigh, N. C., August IH. ay and 30, 1007 The fifth annual meeting of the State partners convention will l>e hel l at the A. & M. College, Ral eigh, N.

On Wednesday night, August | 14, there was a font murder com mitted near Hobgood and the peo ple of the entire community were e shocked to learn of it the following s morning. j A colored man named Ellis r Merritt about six months ago came from near Enfield and bad j been at work on the farm of Mrs. , Maniza White. On the night ol I the murder he was left alone to uiind a tobacco barn. Mr. Green, c manager of Mrs. White's farm, left the man about 12 o'clock, and soon after reaching the house he ( heard a gun fife, but paid little attention to it. Next morning when he went to the tobacco barii I he found the man dead and stiff- He had been shot from behind with buck r.hot, some ol the shot passing through liis bead. The man had fallen forward when shot and when turned over , his hands still clasped the keys of an accordeon which he seemed to f have been playing when shot. The killing seemed a mystery, as the man was on good terms with [ all the people in the coinmunit) who knew him. , I Dr. H. I. Clark, ofScotlad Neck, as. coroner, held an inquest over the body Thursday morning. The following persons composed the jury: E. T. Whitehead, W. E, Smith, E. Woolard, W. A. Walston, E. M. Perry and T. T. Dickens. After reviewing the body the jury returned a verdict that Ellis Merritt came to his death by a shot from a gun in the hands of an unknown person. Some slight suspicion pointed to another colored man named Hardy Holliday, who was arrested and brought to Scotland Neck, but there being no evidence against him he was allowed to go. It was- a most dastardly deed and ought not to lie allowed to pass at what has been done. — Scotland Neck Commonwealth. The Handktrehitf tank.

HOBOOOD ITEMS There is a big improvement in the crops, in this section in the past twenty days, and with favora ble seasons from now on every thing bids fair for a very good crop.

I have spent my life in the warehouse business, commencing when only 13 years of age, and I study my business day and night too, in fact I dream about it. I have worked hard this summer in the field, plowed, topped and cured tobacco myself and I am in a position to know the farmers needs and wants, and what they should have, and what they SHALL have when they bring 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.

I have not come here to Steal and Beat and leave tomorrow, I have come among you to LIVE AND BE OF YOU, and to build up the market and a 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 all times do.
