Board of County Commissioners, I
WgMLgider this a great mistake. I real
gpMh fully the need of economy at thi'
but taking all tilings of inter
est into consideration I do not think
jXjlg wise economy to dismiss Mr. Holli-
TpjjSy, or the agent anyway. In observ
yiiig what oar lister counties have done
and What our own county has done in
.the way ef farm progrees since the
1 installation of the Farm Demonstra
, tion Agent we are compelled to see
1-Wt*t great work has been accomplish-
Ilt was my privilege to help put Mr.
Hoiliday in office with a salary of
$45.00 per month. He worked as dili
gently and earnestly at that salary
aa at the recent one of $75.00 per
month he has been receiving from the
county. Is there another official in
the county who has worked for out
people in all kinds of weather and
under all conditions aa interestedly
and peraeveringly for the same money,
as has Mr. Hoiliday?
Then when Mr. Hollidny was ealled,
be it far or near, he responded cheer
fully and five aid and advice to the
t of his ability. In personal ex
perience I hare learned that if I had
follow**) his advice more closely it
would have meant better crops and
more money for me. This is true of
a great many fanners in the county
and some of the men now denouncing
the office of County Demonstrator are
farmers who have received help in
the past from this said agency. If
Mr. Hoiliday had accomplished no
other result but the permanent pas
tures established among us, his would
have been a great work.
I truit that the Colnty Commission
ers will reconsider the matter of dis
missing our agent and let us have him
bade for we need help in solving pres
ent problems aa never before. Th
farmers pay the bulk of taxes paii'
to public officials in our county and it
seems but fair that we have a mem
ber ef this board for our representa
tive and guide.
Respectfully,

Care of Child of
*
Pre-School Age
A large representation of the moth
ers of the town attended the meeting
ot the combined Mothers Club and
Parents Teacher's Association held in
the school auditorium Thursday after
noon. The program treated almost en
tirely with the health and training of
the child from two to six years old.
The President, Mrs. Wheeler Martin
jr., read a strong article "Function
of Play In A System of Child Train
ing"; Mrs. J. S. Rhodes gave the pap
er "Necessity For GarAes" and Mrs.
L. B. Harrison read "Physical Trajft
irf In Young Children".
The principle feature of the pro
gram was an address by Dr. "William
E. Warren, County Health Officer.
A part of his speech is given here:
" CARE OF CHILD OF PRE
SCHOOL AGE"
Supervising or directing the life of
our citizens "in the making" by gov
ernment or private endeavor. The
Fedieal Government and scientific so
cities have for a long time protected
our forests and conserved our tim
ber lands for the future generation.
They have studied the diseases of
stock, cattle, ate. as regards both
prevention and cure' but there seems
to have been a disinclination to inter
fere where the welfare of our future
citizens is concerned. This disclin
ation appears to be'the result of in
difference on the one hand and lack
of appreciation of the importance of
this work on the other. However the
importance of such supervision is at
last recognized by the public at large
and in some instances is even dawn
ing upon obr legislative bodies. In the
cities and large towns the firs* im
poitance step taken in this direction
was mode through the agency o
"Milk Stations", from these "In(anf
Welfare Clinics have developed. How
much good has been accomplished hj
this means is impossible to calculate
It seems strange however that dur
ing: these developments no provisior
has been made for and little thought
given to that period in a child's life
from infancy to its entranct int c
school. This has been called the Pre-
School Age. It is in many respects
the most  important of growth ami
development and yet so little attention
has been paid to it that is has aptly
been termed the "neglected age". Not
underestimating the importance ot
any period of child life upon reflec
tion we find that in the broadest
sense the period from infancy to the
time of entrance into school is "the
most deserving of our consideration
from the point- of view—of future
citizenship. As the first three years
in school are considered the "formu
tive" years of school life, so these
years from one to six may be consi
dered the "formative" years of life
itself. During this time the mind i:
undergoing rapid change in its de
velopment, is receiving its first am'
moat lasting impression. That is thr
"central battery" is staring newly
received impulses of thought and act
ion for future use. The body develop
ment is taking on its permanent na
tare, the muscles are strengthened
and becoming coordinate into action,
speech is acquiring its vernaclar and
accent and the habit of word forma
tion in being correctly or incorrectly
fronted. Moreover body it
most susceptible to
during this period.
the scourge of
recognized today, seems to
particular age fro working its mosH
destructive havoc. Should it fail t |
kill at this time it may lie dormant
perhaps for years, only f o reappe at
at a later period, cutting down it.-
victims at the bright of a useful care
er. The common "head cold" an ap
patently minor complaint must not
be ignored for its complication an/
sequelar are comparable only to tho
ot the acute exanthemata. The raesom
for all this are evident. The young
organisms having outgrown the pro
taction afforded through tlte immuni
zing agencies acquired from the moth
er in utero and being still young ant!
tender, not yet having established its
own immunity, furnishes a fruitful
culture medium for invading bacteria.
We ask why this age is so neglectful
The reasons are' quite obvious. So
long as the child is an infant the
mothe rrealizes its dependence upon
her, guards it jealously, anticipates
its every need and watcehs for the,
slightest sign which suggests that!
all is not right. Even though she may'
not be able to interpret those dangers
signal she makes en effort, either fol-!
lowing blindly some superstitious
custom bo rowed from a past gener
ation or If she has been -properly in
structed seeks advice of those better
learned. As the child begins to toddle
around and appears leaa dependent
the slighter ailments are not so ap
parent, vigilance relaxes and neglect
commences, This is particularly apt to
he the case where then are several
children in the family. The mother's
time is occupied by a younger child!

SENATOR H.W. STUBBS
HOME FROM RALEIGH
ii T '
(By Julius Peel) J
The many friends of Senator Harry*
Stubbs were enthusiastic in their
welcome to him last Friday upon his
return home from Raleigh.
"Cousin Harry", a term of endear
ment used by the Senator's more in
timate constituents, was looking the
picture of rugged health, and appear
ed more delighted to shake hands
with all the home-folks again.
In speaking of the past Session oi
the Legislature, he agreed that it was
one of the greatest and most progres
sive assembly's ever convened in
Raleigh.
t Politics was a secondary
ation at the term just ended; bulb
Democrats and Republicans were unit
'ed in an endeavor to do all within
their power to piomote the welfare
and growth of the great Common
wealth of North Carolina. Many hibh
ly important bills which will be ol
lasting benefit to our citizens were
enacted into Law.
The good roads legislation, was one
of the most progressive and benefi
cial acts that has ever been sanction
ed by the State legislative body. The
Senator says that millions of dollars
made possible by Federal aid and
taxation on gasoline, and also motor
vehicles, will be spent for the purpose
of building hard surfaced roaas ir
every vounty in Norfth Carolina. This
will not work any hardship upon the
individual taxpayer, but will make hi:
property Tiore valuable.
The great State instiutions for the
unfortunates, were well rememberei
in State apporpriations, also the great
State institutions of learning and re
search were amply providded for.
The County revaluation hearing was
made possible .by this Legislature
and during April a chance wIH be
given to those property-holders who
are dissatisfied to have 'their propertx
revalued. This will enable the tax;
payyers to have a voice in the just
valuation of their property.
The Senator carefully explaine
several new Laws, in detail, an
seemed eager to enlighten hi ? consti
tuents upon any points of wbi«h the\
were unfamiliar.
We welcome "Cousin Harry" back
to favorite haunts.

VOTERS WELL PLEASED

(By Julius Peel) j
Our junior representative from Mar

in Raleigh, Hon. Clayton Moore, has
receive*l universal commendation from
the voters of Martin County for his
able represnetation of old Martin dur
ing the recent session.
Representative Moore aligned him
self with the young and progressive
element of Democrats, and his vote
on the many different bills before the
House showed caution and study and
a desire to carry out the wishes of
his conatitutents. He made himself
well acquainted with all matters of
legislation concerning the great Stats
of North Carolina, and is well prepar
ed explain same to any of his fellow
who care to deceive direct in
formation along this line.
"This state made preat steps to
wards advancement and progress of
sure benefit to its citizens," said Mr.
Moore, in speaking last night of the
recent legislature. "We voted down
a number of frenk bills which always
spring up during a Session, but we
also put through some measures
which although apparently ultra-pro
gressive, considering the.times, never-i
theloA, these same measures will he
one of the many means of restoring
to us that normal prosperity which vV
so earnestly desire. - ■ I
"I enjoyed my 60-day stay in Ral

sent the good people of Martin—hut
I am still hette 1 ' pleased to get hack
again," said He. Moore. '-Pbaliovein
Martin County—its people, its .cli

to overcome the debauch cf the past
few years, hut at the .same time, we

Hamilton to Have
Electric Lights
(By Julius Peel)
The town of Hamilton, a sound and
conservative community, without any
bonded debt, venture forth in
the realm of municipal improvements,
first by issuing bonds for a town sys
tem of electric lights, and later by
other public improvements.
This is a step forward in the g«n
eral progressiveness of Martin County
in general, and Hamilton in particular
and' will very likely meet with the
general approval of the tax-payers di
rectly concerned.
Hamilton is one of the oldest
in the county, and altho handicapped
by lack of direct railroad commUnica
tion, yet it has always been quite a
shipping point for farm produce, via
the Roanoke river, and in that sec
tion are a number of the best farms
in the County. Its citizens have al
ways stood for the best interests of
the county at large, and stay abreast
of the times.
The surrounding communities are
glad to note this progressive step
Hamilton is taking, and wish for it
a continuance of the sound policy ol
continual advancement which has al
ways been the disposition of its cit-,
izens. /
WILLIAMSTON SHOULD HAVE
ORGANIZED FIRE DEPARTMENT
If Williamston is to get a cheap
Fire Insurance rate it must have an
organized Fire Company. This looks
like a good job for the Chamber of
Commerce to get behind, or maybe
the Chamber of Commerce needs some
pulling together.
The present Fire Company is com
posed of Mr. K. B. Crawford, Chief,
and a very few helpers. What we
need is a good lively bunch of volun
teers, Mr. Crawford should not be call
ed upon to procure the helpers but
the Chamber of Commerce should see
that he has them. The Fire equip
ment wil lsoon be. here and the town
treasurer says the water will be turn
ed on by April the first. The plant
will then be classified and the town
will be re-classified for insurance
rates and to get a low rate we must
have everything in order and in order
to gat in order we must be organized.

PEANUT GROWERS ARE
FOUGHT BY THE TRUST
The arrest of Mr. J. Frank Foushee
Secretary and Manager of the Vir
ginia-Carolina Peanut Growers Ex
change at Plymouth Saturday is fur
ther evident tha tthe Peanut Trtwt
is still fighting the farmers. It is
said that the complaint against Mr.
Foushee was made from Martin Coun
ty and was doubtless made from a
Trust emisary.
The North Carolina Insurance Com
missioner received complaint agd had
the arrest made but was not willing
to prosecute the case until the details
of the Association were fully under
stood and therefore had the hearing
which was to have been held in Ply
mouth Monday continued for a full in
vestigation.
The leading farmers of the West
have been operating under the same
contract for many years, and the to
bacco glowers of the Bright Leaf
Belt, as well as the Cotton Growers
of the country and no doubt that the
peanut glowers wil win out in the
end.
It seems a bit discouaraging, how
ever, when a farmer makes a move
ifor his own protection, he always
meets resistance-at every turn. Yet
he need not be so much surprised be
cause his success will ring the death
bells of the I'eanut Trust.
It is believed that this action will
cause more farmers to sign the con
tract than anything that could be
done.
FERTILIZER SHOULD BE 120.00
PER TON
(By Julius Pe?l)
Considering the drop in the pricse
of farm produce for sale, there is no
reason why the ingredients necessary
to make such, should not al o take
a decided drop.
•The great Fertilizer Trusts were
preparing to make their fertilizers
even higher for this year, but now
they arc showing signs of weakening,
and everyday a ni w pric  list appears
on the Market.
Tlwr Farmers should hold off from
making any entangling contracts at
this time, and demand that fertilizer
go down to $20.00 per to , before they
buy. There is a month or more yet
before, it is necessary to make such
purchases, and lot- can happen in that
length of time. Why should we pay
J.'tfi.OO to $50.00 per t'>r for '(Mano
when we v.ra only getting a thityl or
fourth of-such eompa'ative prices f >r
our farm products.
If the fertilizer people will not come
down to reasonable prices, then the
best thing to do is not to purchase
any at all. We would make more in
the long run by this method anyway.
Of course thf production would be
smaller, hut we can cover a larger
area of land, ami the smaller the pro
duction this year, the larger the price.,
A great over production or even nor
'tial production of cotton, tobacco and
peanuts, wil lbe so much worse than
no production at all—devote your ef
forts this year to quality instead of
quantity, let's make old Martin
County famous for the quality of its
products; and when the great county -
Fair rolls around next Fall, we can
proudly exhibit samples of the finest
grown farm products in Eastern Car
