Friday, January 17, iqi^
it is new Governor Craig. The
State under his administration will
go forward along every line.
If the VTrVi Kenvon hill to
prevent liquor being shipped into
> dry States pass«.s, there will be a
percrptihle change in tlie morals
ami financial conditfoi of m.mv of
the people in this State. If men
would cea.se to di ink the stuff., our
State would lie a veritable hnd of
hi essedness.
To promote harmonv, those
members of the Senate who object
ed to tie hcni"rity rule, were aske i
tc let the matter r st. Woodrow
Wil.on waits a harmonious parly
to sustain him in the coming four
venra. But be inti.rales that th'-ie
J i
must be a strict nrlherenre to Demo
cratic pth'.ciples. and those whu
have veertd oft mu-t return >.r tin
administration will not redeem its
pledges
There is oue reform which the
Legislature sbou'd institute. That
Is, every Jud>>e in North Carolira
should be required to convene his
court at the hour set unless pro
videutially hindered.- Judges have
the liabit of appearing a day or a
halt late, but every juror must be
at the county seat and hang around
wasting many hours when be might
be at home working.
Constitutional Convention
Hon. Harry V. Stubbs, of Mar
tin County, v* ho at the last Legis
lature introduced a bill to hold a
Constitutional Convention, has put
another bill before the Senate call
iug for a Convention, the authority
to hold sam-i to be decided at the
nevt genera! election. The hold
ing of such a Convention is an im
portant question for the Legislature
to decile Wisdom should prevail,
as in atTTjuestions of Constitutions
v and amen iiuenis.
S :iis very a ' i men throughout
the S:ate have .1 ,'revd th it such a
Convention s'.to :!.l he held, but
there arc- still .\ u '• 1 w'u y >ee
great diu ;cr u.1.-s ;x pioper

Give Them Six Months
l*or the la..* t twelve years North
Carolina Lias made wonderful pro
gress a!o:: educational Hues. The
splendid work of the late Charles
B, Aycock was the foundation
stone upon which has been built a
larger and (letter structure of ed
ucational growth, until bigger and
■ better school h.us-.s add to every
district in the State. There, are
very few towns which do not have
inoderniy equipped High School
buddings. Tne advantages offered
hoys snd girls iu the rural districts
art almost equal to those in town.
But the one great Haw in the sys
tem is the short tetm in which the
country children have to master »he
• different branches. There are
many who cau on!j:~get two of the
v \fr>ur-raoatbs offered them. If we
are to be an educated people, arc
to give every boy and girl in North
Carolina a chance to fit themselves j
for the business of life, then a
longer school term will have to be
given these younger citizens of a
great commonwealth.
The power to do this mnch ior
our children lies in the bauds of the
■
I 1
Legislators at R&leith. It is a
question which should be .setteleii
new. A six-month term for all
the public schools of the State is
oue of the most important things
before that body. We want it for
Martin County, and the county is
in line for this or.ward movement.
( We boast of our improvement, let
, us have something better to feel
proud of. We urge the passage of
a bill to give the coming citizens a
broader chance to become educated
in mind and body.
- . .11 TT u.--
Should be Amended
The Parcels Post needs an
amendment, so that third class
nutter can receive the benefit as
well as fourth class packages. It
is strange that the law should not
have mchiucd books printed mat
ter, etc , in its scope of helpfulness
to the people. It restrict- nuttei
which should go through the mails
at the low cost now in order. Con
gress should at once auieu i the law
and make the benefit larger.
If we desired to ship a package
to one of our customers at RoPer
sonville, or Kveretts, it must go by
express, costing twenty five cents
Tin: same package by parcels post
w >uld not cost halt as much, liv
regular postage, the cost would be
extravagant. The govertime >:
evidently has a grudge agaiu-l
printers, as it farms out the p.i.u
trig of envelopes t» oue firm. t!r.«s
t iking thrtiisauds of dollars froui
I t'.i * pockets of the ptinteis t hrotigli
1 1
out tLiv rouutrVv It is sptcies of
I f .voiitisin which the incomiug
Democratic administration should
cutoff, (hve the printers a chance
to live. They help support tin
government, yet rue made to feel
the tfleets of a tru-t inaugurated
by the government. It is biith
time something was b*.iug done.
Our Home Town
The day Seldom atrives in a man's
life when he ceases to be iuteresttd
in the daily or weekly paper of the
place that he has once called home
Granted that it is printed on the
poorest paper, grautcd that the
typographical display would make
the spirit of Beu Franklin blush;
granted that thete are no editor ials,
or editorials that are not worth
reading—grant all this, and still
your feelings and iuir:e and those of
every other healthy mc.rtal are
summed up in this little poeui, from
the Denver Post:
When the eveuiu' shade is fallin' at
the end ; n' o' tin? day,
An' a feller rests from labor, stuck
iu' a: his- pipe o' clay.
There's notbin' dees t:uu mi much
good. 1>: fortune up or dou c,
j
As tin: little c uuty p iprr from his
Old Home Town
It ain't h thing 1 f ! «'V.ty and its
pr iu! ain't ai v,l >- 11 un,
Hut it sfaßighte'i out li> letnpei
ali.'U a telle, s letlin' uiean,
It takes the wtinkbsi ft his face an'
bitish.es vff I.la Ir.'.vn,
That little country pautr iioci his
Old Home Town,
it tells- fail ifce parties an' the
balls of Pumpkin Row,
'Bout who spent Sunday with who's
girl, an' bow the cropt 11 grow,
An'how it keeps a feller posted 'bout
who's up nif' who is down.
That little couuiiy paper from his
Old Home Town.
Now, I like to rfcad the dailies nc'
the story papers, too,
An'at times the yaller novels an'
some other trash—don't >ou?
But when I want some readin' that
'll brush away a frown
I want that little paper from mv
Old Home Town.

t Evfrv druggi-t in the state has
I uoticed a gtest falling off in tbe

k same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone

"Calomel is cften dangerous and
people know it, while Dodscn's
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
gives I etter results," says Saunders

DocUon's Liver Tone is a pleasant

A bottle in tbe hou«e may save
