STAND TOGETHER
On Monday there was formed
in Wi liamston the Martin Coun
ty I Uiiness Men's Association,
an o- 'animation for the better co
op v\ ion of the county people in
the .• of the splendid
resouru l ' and the furtherance of
the husiti already established
throughout Martin County.
Without prop.* • cooperation, the
county will nev- r be able to
rear l the high pin.ncle for which
it is destined by vii tue of its nat
ural resources anl the
who (iwell in it.
It iriinrht truthfully be said
that the people of Martin County
are too contented; what is needed
19 n )t contentment with what we
have and what we are, but to look
higher and strive earnestly and
honestly for enlargement along
lines of betterment. This spirit
is always fostered by cooperation
and without it, 110 people can be
great either in moral or material
uplift Now is the time to stand
togH... r,,so that the wheels of
propi-t! s will not be closed.
COTTON WEIGHER
Tt ■ near completion of the
st' * warehouse, brings to our
mirnl tj,!« need of a cotton and
pean vngher for the market.
Nearly U markets the size of
Wil'iamton have them and find
thei v. nk satisfactory. Th e
smal for the services saves
the I. 1, •(' much trouble, and in
"Sures-seller uniform and cor
rect v{hvS.
Tli •ertiticate of a sworn
weir vould enablethe shipper
to c. . against short weights,
win 11 p. duce is sent to Commis
sion I s 's. Every shipper feels
the no i i weights very heavily
at ea -n s ason. There i. no rea
son v. in' Wllliamstoh should not
have a weigher.
Two quarts per annuum- just
enough for smelling salts.
Fro n reports, the acreage in
tobac-M will be larger in Martin
County this year. The prices
last seiso'i worked the charm.
■ _ .
Th e suit rage cause in England
will be H ss popular, if the Wheel
don women are convicted of
seeking to kill Premier Lloyd
George. Perhaps, the plot ex
tended beyond them.
T)n tue news of another cure
for the drug habit, comes the in
formation that mud is a knock
out for the auto craze. It has
worktd fine in this section, as
well as in others. . ,
And they-nre to make Alaska
"bo-'' dry." But who cares
much? It is too far away for
shipments to come down into pro
hibition territory, and rather cold
for tourists, who want a morning j
eocktail.
