We want to double our subscription list by Jwmas. Won't you help us to do fio ? This is the last issue before the Jaw recently passed by the Post Of fice Department goes into effect. During this week we have mailed out to all our subscribers, owing more than one year's subscription, a statement showing how they stand.' We hope that none of them will take offence at this, we were forced to do so by the ruling of the Department. It makes 110 difference how much, we would like to continue sending the paper to those behind, we can not do so under the law. If you received a statement and wish to have the pa per continued pay up before the next issue or we will be compelled to stop your paper. Thk Entkkpjm&R in its new form, eight pages, carrying t'ele praphic and state news, and county news -from -every section of the county, will be continued, and for a while at the same price. We can .not tell yet whether we can contin ue at the same old price, SI.OO a year,* but we believe the people of Martin County want a good and will.give Tint Kntkrprisk, as jt is now being published, a liber:fl support: if so the paper will lm continued at the price of SI.OO J It is estimated that prohibition will cairy at the May election by 50,000 to 75,000 in the state. One. - hundred ot ttie best spealdfrs in the stattf of both political parties have volunteered to go any where in the state and speak for prohibition. As far as we have heard no speakers have volunteered to speak against prohibition. The people of the state are determined to give prohi bition a trial and those who oppose *lt might just as well withdraw their opposition and give it atrial. If it is a good thing and we think it is, then no one ought to want to go back to the manufacture and sale of liquor, but should it prove to be a failure then it will return that much the earlier. Get with the crowd and vote for it. It the use of liqlior does more good than harm then vote for it, but if its use and abuse does more harm than good then it! is your plain duty to vote for pro hibition. —Washington Progress. The Thaw divorce seems a pitiful »oti-climax to such a well staged melodramatic and smutique trial.

Office of Public Roads Tells How to ilake Mid Maintain a flodel Earth Road " * 1 GIVES PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS The Plow, the Drag Scraper, the Road (trader and the Split LOR Drag are the Constant Friends of the Road Overseer * While American road bilders are as capable of constructing good roads as those of any country of the old world, they have liot been loyally supported as the men of those countries in maintaining the highways after completion, and the deplorable state of many hun dred thousand miles of the toad is thus accounted for. County and township officials may at the out set stand the expense of having a road built, but they strenuously object when asked to provide funds to rebuild the road that has been allowed to go to ruin. It is important that farmers learn of the benefits to be derived from good earth roads; that county boards be impressed with the need of a proper maintenance of the same, and that road builders and overseers learn how best to care for the roads in their charge. The persistent and powerful ene mies of earth roads are water and nafrow tires, and the constant ef fort* of the men in charge of the roads should be to guard aginsf their destructive effects and rem edy all damage as quickly as pos sible. The simple implements which have been found to be of greatest assistance in this work are the plow, the drag scaper, the wheel scraper, the road graded, and the split-log. With a sandy soil and a subsoil of clay, or clay and gravel, deep plowing so as to raise and mix the clay with the Surface soil and sand will prove beneficial com bination forms a sand-clay road at a trifling expense. On the other hand, if the road be entirely of sand a mistake will be made if it is plowed unless clay can be added. Such plowing would merely deep en the sand, and at the same time break up the small amount of hard surface material which may have formed. If the subsoil is clay and the surface scant in sand or gravel, plowing should not be resorted to, as it would result in a clay surface rather than-one of sand or gravel. A road foreman must know not only what to plow and what not to plow, but how to and when to plow If the road is of the kind which according to the above instructions should be plowed over its whole width, the best method is to run the first furrow in the middle of the road, and work out to the sides, thus forming a .crown. Results from such plowing are greatest in j the spring or early summer. * In ditches a plow can lie used to I good advantage, but should be fol I lowed by a scraper or grader. To j make wide, deep ditches nothing better than the ordinary drag scra per has yet been devised. For hauls under 100 feet, or in making "fills''it is especially servicable. It is a mistake, however, to attempt to handJfe long haul material with this scraper„ as the wheel scraper is better adapted to such work For WHITE PINE COUCH SYRUP WITH TAR A Valuable B-owdy for G*Ma.

A bottle of White Pink Cough Skjllk with TA* should be kept in every family medicine chest. 20 CENTB ©. R. BIGGS Prescription Drattlst WILUANSTON, NORTH CAROLINA hauls more than 800 feet, a wagon should be used. The machine most generally used in road work is the grader or road machine. This machine is espec illy useful in smoothing and crown ing the road and jn opening ditches. A clay subsoil under a thin coating of soil should not be disturbed with a grader. It is also a mis take tp use a grader indiscriminate ly and to pull material from ditch es upon a sand-clay road. Not in frequently turf, soil and silt from ditch bottoms are piled in the mid dle of the road in a ridge, making mudholes a certainty. It is im portant in using a grader to avoid building up the road too mucli at onetime. A road gradually built up by.frequent use of the grader will last better than if completed at one operation. The foreman frequently thinks his road must be high in the first iustance. He piles up material from ten inches to a foot in depth only to learn at the arrival of the first rain, that he has furnished material for as many inches of mud. All material should be brought up in thin layers each layer, well puddled and firmly packed by roller or traffic before the next is added. A common mistake is to crown too*high with the road machine 011 a narrow road. This split log drag should be used to fill in ruts and smooth the road when not too badly washed. The drag possesses great merit and is so simple in construction and operation that every farmer should have one. No Use To Die "l have found out that there is no use to die of lung trouble as long as you can get Dr. King's New Discovery," says. Mrs. J. P. White, of Rusliboro, Pa. "I would not be alive to-day only for that wonderful medicine. It loosens up a quicker than anything else, and cures lung disease even after the case is pronounced hopeless/' This most reliable, remedy for coughs and colds, lagrippe, asthma, bronchitis and hoarseness, is sold under guarantee at All Druggist. 50c and SI,OO Trial bottie free.

Kitchen Hint#. To prevent sore mouth from anting sliced pineapple do not slice the fruit with the knife it is penlt*! with, If you have salted food too much in cooking, add a little sugar, and vice I versa. ' Rub .votir hands with lemon julre as i soon as you have finished washing dishes. It keeps them from chapping and also keeps them white. • Teething Rings. A child may be given a teething ring ! or pacifier as soon as the teeth begin 1 to trouble, which is usually at live 01 | six months. The best kind of a teeth- I ing ring is a rubber one. An Ivory I ring la apt to make the gums hard, and ! this makes it harder for the teeth to i come through. Molding Tallow Candle*. Try out the tallow, add a little salt I nnd a little powdered alum dissolved | In the hot tallow. Then pour Into wet i candle molds. This is the way in | which our great-grandmothers molded j i-andles when they discarded the prim ! ltlve mode of "dipping." v Tomato Removes Ink. If you happen to spill ink on white wash goods, before you launder It take red tomatoes (the canned ones will do), rub well on the ink spots, let It dry overnight, then put it in the boiler with the other clothes to boil. It will come out beautiful and white. DOCTORS PRESCRIBE SULPHUR. But Sulphur Should he Used in Liq uid Form Only.
