Judge Cline, who was to have presided, ex changed with Judge Lyon, who did not depart from the usual custom of judges in reference to Courts here, and so arrived hours after the term should have been opened. Owing to the delay and warmth of the weather, the charge to the Grand Jury was also noted for brevity. The Jury was drawn and the few criminal cases were disposed of. The members of the local bar decided that the busy season among the farmers should not be taken up with court proceedings, and so court adjourned Tuesday after noon and Judge Lyon left on the 5 o'clock train. The Criminal Docket was disposed of 'as fol lows: Stwart Rogers. Retailing. De fendant discharged upon pay ment of accrued cost. W. D. Bell. Retaining.

A Successful Firm The Martin County Buggy Company is demonstrating to the public the great value of continous ly placing its goods before the peo ple. It is the largest advertiser in the county and among the lar gest in Eastern Carolina. It turns out vehicles of all kinds, does all kinds of repair work—and the best of it is that there is noth ing shoddy about the workman ship or material. One of the largest and most successful fea tures about the business is the sale of the Lilliston Peanut Pic ker. The sales were large last year; and the prospects are even better for the business this sea son. The picker has been , im proved and its value as the clean est and best picker on the market greatly inceeased. The Buggy Company is behind every one that is sold by or through it. Some of the best farmers in Eastern Carolina place it all other pickers. The Company sells all mach inery made by the International Harvester Company, and have machinists to erect and keep it in good condition. People who want anything in this line should visit the factory on Smithwick Street, and see the work for themselves. Carefully read the ad in this issue. Parmele Items Prof. R. J., and Sylvester Peel surveyed the school district here on Saturday. Mrs. R. L. Nelson went to Robersonville Monday. Mrs. Emma Padgett and little son, and Miss Addie Leggett, of Williamston, spent Sunday with Mrs. D. S. Powell. J. B. Bowers and Nicholas Roberson went to Williamston Monday to attend the Institute. Mrs. Beulah Mizell returned from Richmond Saturday, ac compaied by Mrs. B. F. Smith and children of that city. Miss Bertha Ward and sister, Mrs. N. 0. VanNorthwick, went to Bethel Tuesday. Misses Irene Bellflower and Lillian Whitehurst spent Sunday with Mrs. Lucy Manning. Claude Green, of Robersonville, was here Saturday. ♦ Parmele was favored with a visit and service by Dr. Edgar A. Lawther, of the Washington Col legiate Institute, which was help ful to all. . It was very sad to hear of the death of W. W. Harper of this town on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. His sons, Alton, Joseph and Jennis, who live ni distant states, reached here Sunday. Also Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Har per and his two sifters, Lida and Rosa, of Norfolk, were here,, and Mrs. Tempie Dew, of Wilson, was also present. Rev. M. A. Mathe son performed the burial cere mony and the interment was near Sparta. Edward Whitehurst near here, who has been ill for quite a while died Tuesday p. m. The burial ceremony was performed by Rev. M. A. Matheson. Does it Pay to Advertise? This question can be readily answered by one of our customers who sold three Studebaker cars in one day in a territory where there was an agent for machines but he FAILED TO ADVERTISE The first advertisement of this agent appeared in THE ENTER PRISE on April and has brought wonderful results. Ask the agent and he will tell you about it, and gladly, too. We contracted with the agent for this ad and each week it is seen by hundreds of our friends, and we are gratified to know that the purchasers of the three cars mentioned above were subscri bers to THE ENTERPRISE. They know that the successful business man tells people what he has to sell, and the average man pre fers to purchase from those who are to use up to-date The question; ''Does it pay?" has been answer ed by the success of the immense business houses all over the land. They advertise. When our subscribers desire to purchase they should look care fully over the pages of each issue of THE ENTERPRISE. 'L Notice Vhe soliciting committee of Williamston Township request that all subscribers to stock in the peanut factory, the commit tees of the other township and every one interested in the build ing of the plant meet at the, City Hall at 8:15 on Monday night next to discuss further plans for thA movement. It is very urgent that every farmer who can come should be present, especially if he has subscribed to the stock. The advertisement of the Agri culture snd Mechanical College at Raleigh appears in another collum. This College is fulfilling its mission as a place for first class technical training. Turn where you will and its graduates are making their mark on the industrial life of the State. The demands on the institution for men are increasing from year to year. If a young man wants to equip himself for leadership in agriculture, engineeriug, cotton manufacturing and allied pursuit he should consider the admirable opportunities offered by this busy College. A new apostle of prohibition has ariseu up in Maryland. His name is William F. Cochran. He has inherited wealth, and he is contributing liberely to the tem percance cause. The American Issue declars that he is the most "liberal contributor to the temperance work in the nation, if not in the entire.world." Three years ago he had no iuterst in the cause what ever, but he caught a vision of his obligation to soceity—and th& rest was inevitable. He not only gives of his money, but he gives of his service. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church and only the other day he prevail ed upon the convention of the diocese of Maryland to commit herself specifically to the move ment to have referred to a vote of the people whether or not the liquor traffic should be licensed in Maryland. our men of wealth had such a vision of their obligation to society, it would help to solve some of our social problems".—Christian Advocate. h Don't forget that Jnne, beside being the month of bride roses is also the the month of bach elor buttons. Success Will Never Come by Com promise Most men are cowards, timid, vacillating, afraid of criticism, afraid to go ahead and get things dftne. The only devil which now exists is the devil of fear, all other demons having lost both horns and tails. At the point in time where we now are, fear is about the only thing that stands between a man and success. A few days ago a carrier pige on (hat had been shipped from Manchester, England, to the city of Toronto, Canada, escaped and twelve days later showed up one morning at the old stand. Had this pigeon realized or studied the uncertainty of a twelve-day flight across the Atlantic such a trip would never have been accom plished. The courage and fearlessness of this tiny carrier pigeon, flying in the face of wind and storm, in the face of danger from other birds,'"flying continuously, per petually for twelve days without food —back across the sea—is a lesson to every man who is look ing for an easy job-satisfied to settle down to an eventless, color less, meaningless existence. It is courage that will produce the superman of a future and greater time, and the man who drives fear from the brain, who succeeds in washing the yellow streak from his physical and mental character will never give up but will keep fighting until he forces the world to give in. It is true that the ambition and courage that abounds in youth makes it possible for a young boy between the ages of twelve and twenty to attempt things -he would under no circumstances under-take at a more conservative and at a better-balanced period in life. Stephen Girard, with one eye deformed, laughed at, mistreated driven from home by his step mother at the age of twelve, hid ing himself in a merchant vessel starting away to the Indian Ocean and Anally becoming the greatest merchant and financier of his time, is the answer for every man who is about to decide that the "game is not worth while." During the first twenty years of his life, Girard had never known anything but adversity. His life had been filled with enemies and this made it possible for him to appreciate >a friend. The Captain of this merchant vessel believed in Stephen Girard, took an interest in him, and from a copy of Voltaire's Philosophic Encyclopedia borrowed from the young Captain, Girard laid the first plans for a store of know ledge that made him one of the best posted men of his day. George Westinghouse, the in ventor of the air-brake, was told by the president of arailrood that he had no time to waste with "fools who talk about stopping trains with wind." So if you have tried and failed; if you have planned and then stood by with sad and solemn face to see your plans go wrong—remember that great deeds, vision and a broad knowlege of life and men are the products of courage, and courage is born in the cradle of adversity. Success will never come by compromise. Your ideals and your purpose must be as fixed, must stand out as clear to you, I as a star in the night.—The Mer chants Journal & Commerce. Some folks win their way with a club and some with a smile. The former always have to fight their battles over; the latter have nothing to do but to keep on smil ing—their victories last. s[.oo a Year in Advance Teachers Institute The teachers of Martin County met here Monday for a session of two weeks of the Institute, which the law requires totbe held every two years. Pro£jß. J. Peel, Superintendent/MEducation in the Connty arranged for the In stitute at the Graded School build ing. There are «bout thirty teachers present, some having gone to summer schools elsewhere Prof. T3achman, of Edenton. who taught the Institute here two years ago, is in charge of it at this time. He is assisted by Miss Sue Fulghum, of Chapel Hill, who arrived Tuesday night. Prof. John D. Everett, of the Rocky Mount schools, was present acid gave some very instructive les sons. The extremely warm weather is the only hindrance to the pleasure of those who attend but even that inconvenience is allayed by ample room and other arrangements. Embroidery Club Mrs. J. H. Saunders was host ess to the Club on Tuesday after noon at her home on Church Street. Several members were unavoidably absent, but with work bags and pleasant con versa tion, the hours passed in a de lightful manner. Dainty re freshments were served consist ing of chocolate ice cream, cake and li neade. Those present, were, Mesdames Wheeler Martin, Jr., F. U. Barnes, Henry W. H. Crawford, G. W. Hardison and Misses Deborah Fleming, Mary Hassell andHattie Thrower,, The next meeting of the Club will be held with Miss Mary Has sell/>n July Ist. Children's Day On last Sunday afternoon at Holly Springs Church, to a very large audience the children of the Sunday School rendered a fine program. The music and recita tions were splendid. Some one had been doing some very fine training to which the children readily responded. The Holly Springs community may well be proud of her young people, they are fine. I hope that our other Methodist Churches will follow the good example set by Holly Springs. J. T. Stanford. Hassell Items Misses Lishie and Addie Coburn are attending the summer school at Greenville. Miss Louise Salisbury is spend ing some time with friends in Speed and Rocky Mount. Misses Blount and Mary John* son, of Oak City, spent the week end at the home of their brother, T. H. Johnson. C.

Miss Bessie Roberson went t» Williamston Monday to attend the Teachers Institute. Horace Johnson has accepted a position in Rosky Mount. Mrs. M. E. Starling and Misses Laura and Julia Salisbury spent a few days at Ocean View last week. Messrs. Ashley Manning and Roy Bowers were in town from Bethel Sunday.
