Merchant-Tailors, Chi cago, 111 THE ENTERPRISE - s Stale LibrntY * Joining Bertie With Iron The decision of the County Commissioners to erect an iron bridge across Conoho Creek on the rjver road to Speller's Ferry, was a wise one This should have been done when the wooden affair was construqted. During the freshet this year, the old bridge was cut and floated off. This road is the only means of getting to Windsor except by boat from Plymouth or by rail via Ahoskie, and for this reason is convenient for both Counties. Martin County needed more than fragile wood to join the great county of Bertie, and the bridge will further link the two sections so close together. The bridge will add to the tobacco market, as they can drive and get courteous treatment and splendid returns for their golden weed. Besides ereciing the creek bridge, the road will be put in good con dition and small bridges be built wherever needed. Be Careful The extremely* hot weather has not yet caused a great deal of sick ness, but in view of the fact that there seems to be no promise of a cessation of the warmth, it is nec essary, if we would avoid ilness, to pay especial attention to clean liness, food and habits. People eat and drink too much during the summer months every year. Plenty of pure water is the best drink for the hot days. Very few people, however, have properly arranged wells, and often the wa ter is not refreshing. Then ice water and soft drinks are resorted to as a substitute. LerfTonade is one of the healthiest drinks for the summer. It is good for the liver and at the same time the most refreshing beverage besjdes good water. The medical fraternity are try ing to teach preventives instead of cures. Scientific research and the doctrine of sanitation are do ing wonders for the health of thfe people. So many long attacks of sickness could be avoided, if only we would be temperate in eating, drinking and habits.

BO WEN & COMPANY, Route 2. Williamston, N. C. WILLIAMSTON, N. C.. FRIDAY, AtGUST 1. 19x3 The Southerner has always been an extensive rather than an in tensive farmer. With soil, cli mate and labor, he has failed lar gely in trying to cultivate num erous acres, when by reducing he could have reaped greater harv ests. Perhaps this is due to anti bellum conditions, when a large number of slaves made it neces sary to put into cultivation,a vast number of acres. This condition has not prevailed since the war began, and yet there are many good men who try to plant just as much as they can, leaving the production of the crop to a matter of chance. However, farmers some of them, are learning that intensive rather than extensive farming is the key to success. This matter of extensive farm ing is too often seen in the grow ing of tobacco, a crop which de mands attention every minute from the plant bed to the ware house. Some people get an idea that the number of pounds Count, rather than the qualrty of the leaf. As an object lesson of inten sive farming, take Sam McCallof Central Alabama, who grows the largest amonnt of cotton to the acre of any man in the United States. This is one bale to an eighth of an acre, and eighty bu shels of corn or oats to the acre. The average yield per acre is two-fifths of a bale. When Me Call was made free, he purchased a worn out farm of 160 acres and began to cultivate 40 of them. He found that he was practically do ing all work and failing each year. So he commenced to cultivate two acres, and for twenty-two years he has spent on it all his time and energies. Farm experts say that that his is the most in teresting example of intensive farming in the country. With no knowledge of scientfic principles, he has fed his land with those things which nature demands, producing nitrogen from the re fuse of the crops. He noticed the white farmers putting leaves on their land. From this he gath ered the idea of allowing the re fuse of his crops to make a fer tilizer for his soil. The result has been the most remarkable in the land. But why connot every far mer get what McCall has out of his two acres? Farmers are beginning to learn to farm more intensively but the whole lesson is still in the future. But the dawn is breaking over the Sonth, and soon the tillers of the soil will cultivate as scientifically as the chemist mixes the varied elements in his laboratory. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. John D. Biggs was hostess to the Club. Only a feW could enjoy the hours with her On account of the low ering clouds and heavy thunder.

Out of a registration of 893, a few less than 075 votes were polled in the election, most of these being in favor, of the bond issue. The only danger of the bond issue failing was in the difficulty in getting out the coun try vote. All of the total regis tration names who did not vote at all counted against the issue, but the advocates of the issue overcome all of this. Most of the stores in town closed and the business men of the town almost to a man came out and worked hard all day long in the interest of the bonds. The weather was ideal, and it was clearly evident early in the morn ing that if the porportion of the early vote continued and enough voters turned out the proposition would carry easily. The majori ty is all that was wished for by the advocates of the issue. Eve ry one knew that the final result would t>e close, as the opposition had been strong and worked hard throughout the campaign.

Beer and Nerves The recent meeting of alienists and neurologists at Chicago was interesting because of the* good they desire to do the public by urging the abstinence from those things which render men unfit for duties directly touching the safety of the people. Especially does their decision concern rail road companies. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sent Dr. Theo dore Di ller, of-Pitsburg, to the meeting, who made an address on the subject of total abstinence* and for regular investigations to determine the mental soundness of railway companies. Other rail way companies of the country await the decisions of the experts. The resolutions adopted were as follows: "We recommend to the railroads of the country generally the un iversal adoption of the rule requir ing all employees to abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages on duty or off duty, under penalty of discharge." "The habitual use of any narcotic should be a ground for discharge from the service."
