"In c msideration of the ser vices rendered by those who are sacrificing their lives far my home ami liberty, and appreciat ing that my public duty calls for personal denial and self-sacrifice, I hereby pledge myself to assist my country in the conservation of its resources and man power during the period of the war 1 will devote some mo nents of every day to determine wherein I can personally save clothes, food, tnel. or other wealth. 1 will readjust, so far as to reduce my personal demands requiring the labor of others, in order t'niiJ my country's full efforts may be exerted against our ene my. I M-ill i'ive«t those savings effected by my sell-denial in War-Savings Stamps" A Few Words Personal The writer is not a stranger in Williamston, for he lived and worked among you before. How ever, the four and one-half years he has been away have brought many changes into his life. ,He fan* cast aside the follies of his youth and settled down to "brass tacks," and has met a reasona ble success in his chosen field of endeavor- In order to return to Williamston, he gave up a splendid position, one that he vii filling to the entire satisfac tion of all concerned, a position with a vary promising future; but he had faith in the future of; Martin County, the people of Williamston and last but not. k-a.'-t, "The Enterprise." This faith was tl e deciding factor in influencing him to make the change, and firds magnificent expression in the person of ; Jerome P. Fleishman writing for the Baltimore Sun: "It 19 night. I am being whirl ed through space in a parlor car of the Pennsylvania Railroad at something like 50 miles an hour. The 'car is brilliantly lighted. Outside all is black I do not know where we are, except that this train—the Atlantic City Special, bound for the nation's capital —left Wilmington about 20 minutes ago and is somewhere ■ between that place and Balti more. "Across the aisle a boy of tender years la climbing up on his Mo ther's lap. and the mother, with that light in her eyes which only mother-love can inspire, is pat ting his curly head. They do not think of danger. Neither do I. We have Faith. We have faith 111 the engineer. He is a competent man, or he wouldn't be in charge of this train with its several hundred human lives. He knows his engine, knows the roadway, knows all the possible things that could happen and is alert to avoid them. So we, knowing his hand is on the throttle, take it easy and think of things far re moved from railway wrecks. "It seems to me that there is a lessen in this for you and for a,'-, in. every young man ar.d every young woman in busi i;i > the lesson of Faith. It is ■ not hiven to us to see very far into the future For my part, I don't want to know what is go ing to happen to me next week or next \ ear. 1 am satisfied to keep plugging along doing my little job from day to day a3 best I can and trusting my fate to the Creat Engineer whose hand is on the throttle of your life and mine and the lives of i countless other thousands. "The business man who hasi faith is not very likely to go. wrong. He is going to conduct ; his business on a four square l ' basis; he is going to be upright in his dealings with his fellow-1 men; he is going to steer his sll;i> ot commerce through the troubled waters of misfortune, perhaps even adversity, with a serenity born of the conscious ness that nothing can harm him permanently so long as he sees ! clearly and acts wisely. There | will be many hands eager to re- I turd his progress. Slander will j raise its nasty head from many litr; t ' by-ways along his path. 11l | h"i!tii may come; the loss of! lo\id ones; the crippling of his' finances; the striking down of j his most cherished hopes; and f yet-" We are working hard re-orga-, ni/.ing the business in order that we may give our people the most] modern service. In the very near future. The Enterprise will j be enlarged to a seven column j paper, which will give us 1 -IS inches more to devote to the in- j terest of our people Wf have j many improvements in mind and] as fast as we can, we will inau- J gurate them But we cannot do this alone; | we must have your co-operation i and encouragement Will we get i it? F. M S War Sensations Enjoyed At Home. . | Two of our tow nsmen remem-j bering probably the Indian's ver- i sion of army life in various camps in this country as related by the president in his Red Cross speech in Baltimore, and probably being prompted by this work or light which is receiving so much atten-1 tion just now, decided to take an afternoon off in pursuit of advert- j ture before haying to go to work. They took a Ford and went forth. They were gliding serene- i lv along a country road when suddenly they discovered that j "Lizzie" was getting to warm for j them. And herewith they exper ienced a mild imitiation q| liquid fire (monkey rum excluded) and had a . warm fight too prevent being gassed. Thev returned, however, the same afternoon none worse for their adventure than a burned finger. They are I willing to go to work now.
