WHOLESALE DISCHARGE Ol
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
(Special to The Enterprise)
Raleigh, N. C.—Beginning Monday
of this week an order issued last Sat
urday by the Southern Railway Com
pany went into effect which throws
out of work large numbers of railroad
shop workers und other rail road me
chanics. The order does not apply to
the roundhouses. The big shops at
Spencer, Knoxville and other points
on the Southern system where the
shops are located will be affected by
the closing down ori^r.
It could not be learned just what
reason the company gives for issu
ing fhe orders It will be recalled that*
the Southern Railroad refused to ac
cept the aid provided by the govern
inent for the roads whe nthey were
returned to private management. The
Southern was applauded by the whole
nation for stating that tthe system
-wothM stand on 44s ow«i-bottom. The
Southern is in the heart of the cot
ton belt, and the low price on that
staple, and the closing of so many
cotton mills, together with the bad
situation in the tobacco market, has
naturally struck a hard blow to the
Southern.

CHOLERA PREVALENT;
PROTECT YOUR HOG£
A visit to Popular foint Township
revealed the lact that there were one
hundred and ninety head ol sick hogs
on a single larin there. These hogs
were on a range pasture (woods pas
turei. If they were on a clover pas
ture and immune from cholera they
would within two months net the own
er at the sinalest emulation the net
sum ol $1900.00 and leave the lounda
turn stock still on the farm. Procrasti
nation is the thief ot tune and we in
Mai tin County are not immune to it.
1 here urn other laimers in this
section who have lost heavily from
hog cholera and the disease continues
to spread. There are in Martin Coun
ty now around 26,000 hogs. Ordinarily,
2l> per cent of tlu-se hogs will be losi

precautionary measures and treatment

farm this morning and after a long
search of his woodland found a nice
copper still. No liquor was found and
only a few empty barrels were seen.
The plant had been operated with
i much secrecy and had not done much
business. Mr Anderson was very much
surprised that some neighbor was
slipping over the line and operating
on his land which was evidently done
to keep suspicion from resting on
the guilty party.

Mr. L. M. Martin of Bear Grass
township died at his home Sunday af
ternoon after a long illness with can
ier. During the vjummer of 19iy Mr.
Martin had a small sore on his lip and
it gradually grew larger and worse,
for the last three months confining
him to his bed. He was unable to
speak or swallow for several days be
fore he died as the cancer had eaten
most ot the jaw bone and affected the
throat.
Mr. Martin was fifty six years old,
he married Miss Fannie Jolly thirty
tour years ago an dunto them thirteen
children were born, eight of whom are
living. His mother, Mrs. Emily Mar
tin, who is eighty one years old also

the funeral service yesterday after
noon was conducted hy his pastors,
Mr. J. M. Perry of Kobersonville, as
sisted by L. T. Holliday, Mr. Satter
thwait ami A. J. Manning. Th^ bur
ial was in the home plot of his father
and the Masonic service was used. A
targe gathering of his friends were
present.
\ HOOTLKGGEK' S DKKAM
A bootlegger sat by his warm fireside,
Am. thought o'ei the deeds lie had
d. If,
Of many i> Hying midnight ride,
Of many i' case he had run.
The liie was hot, the room was warm
He hail lost many hours of sleep;
A liberal swig of John Barleycorn
Soon put him in slumber deep.
Again lie wa sout on the river road,
Mis tlivver loaded down;
Spirits were high in man and load,
As he headed his car toward town.
Then a big car with blinding light
Completely blocked bis way;
There was the law with ull its might
lln onward course to stay.
i
A little more juice and a living leap
And over that car he tlew;
As lie passed above lit* had a peep
Of the law in its colols true.
V
lie jumped a wall, he climbed a tree
lie rode on an old hedge fence;
Now all these funny stents did he,
"7 In the spirit of selfdefense -
The worst comes when a man is
chased, «
* And !or freedom makes a dash,
1 hTo i i seeens must'ever'Tie ficed," ~"
when \ou angle for easy cash.
He heard the roar of pursuing law,
As it followed in his wake;
Very soon lis gripping jaw B
Would his load and freedom take
I'he gasoline just then played out,
The flivver tame to a stop,
lie shook tlu- tank, without a doubt,
It was dry of every drop.
He grabbed a jug and quickly poured
John Barleycorn in the tank.
Then jumped off the running board,
Ami gave the flivver a crank.
Away again the good cur flew,
lipt her,actions seemed so queer;
Moie unruly each minute shew grew,
Till his heart' was filled with fear.
Straight for the river front it went,
A staggering, capering gait;
The windshield gone, the axle bent,
In drunken, hilarious state.
She hiccoujfed sj>»ie, gave a cough,
Her wheeels seemed kind of dizzy;
She gave a snort, her hood threw off
Poor, drunken little lizzie.
Over the dock she took it leap,
In waters deep she sunk;
As over that bootlegger fiishes creep
|- He knew that car was drunk.
Then he fetl an awful chill;
Thought he, "this must be death,"
Awakening came With a mighty thrill,
As panting, he gasped for hreath. ,
There stood a man in dark blue
clothes,
With a pair of strong hand-cuffs;
Said he, "Get up till I slip on those,
For I've fount! all your liquid stuffs.'

MORRISON HITS TUE
HULL'S EYE AGAIN
Special to The Enterprise)
Kaleigli, N. C. In a story recent
ly published in The I niou Herald the
writer called attention to the correct
ness of the attitude of Governor Mor
rison in the matter of separate direct
orates of the several state institutions
especially the asylum for the insane.
The story recited some reference* to
conditions at these institutions in the
past and declared that there was "too
much attention comparatively given
to the 'management' and 'financing' of
the administration of these places,
while too little attention was paid to
the care and possible cure, at least
of some, of the 'unfortunate ward* of
the State, the basic purpose for which
these places were maintained and in
the first place established."
It is announced that at the first
meeting of the new separate board of
directors for each of these institutions
Governor Morrison will recommend
and insist that "the medical staffs be
increased, that he believes now that
not sullicient audproper medical at
tention can be given the patients with
