IF TOD WANT QUICK RESULTS USE A WANT A,D IN THIS PAPER VOLUME XXII—NUMBER 30 mm.: SEASON NOW HERE; COUNTY HEALTH AUTHORITI^WARNING This is the season for typhoid fever There are two ways to prevent it, one is mechanical and the other is j physiological. The first aims to pre vent fhe entrance of typhoid germs j into the body of a person through wa ter, food or by means of the hands. The second aims to make the body im mune by means of typhoid vaccine. People should avail themselves of both methods. Between now and next March about two hundred and fifty ■thousand people n the United States * may expect to be ill with typhoid fe ver. About twenty thousand will la> down their lives as a sacrifice to this disease, a sacrifice on the altar of ig norance and apathy. North Carolina may expect to have three hundred of these deaths. There were five deaths in Martin County from typhoid fever lust year, while according to our population there should not have been more than three. Five persons valued at S6,(HM/ each, means a $25,000 loss to the county, thirty times more money than all the* appropriations for public health in the county. It is not practical to suppose that twenty-one thousand people in Martin county will take advantage of the opportunity to immunize them selves to typhoid fever this year, m great many will do so. The healtn. department urges it but at the same —timw—tha Department calls attention to the importance of safeguarding by he mechanical method. See that the drinking water is pure, use a pump but' never an open well. Filtered water is of course the safest. See that the milk is pure, that all raw vegetables are washed well in pure water. Avoid carrie infection b. keep ing the hands clean, never eat food unless the hands are Washed thorough ly. Finally, be sure that the human wastes are disposed of so no fly c mi get to them. The diseases reported to me 111 i . show that there is now in \Vil liamston one case of typhoid fever and two in Bear Grass township. The following number of cases of other diseases were reported yi the month of April: Whooping cougli, 13; Measles, 0 ?c rlet Fever, 1; Chicken Pox, 3 Oothaluria Neveratorum, I. ~ WIL-LIAM K. WAIiREN.

While in the Capital City, "Cousin Harry" stated he made a number of social calls upon old friends which at the Capitol building includ ed Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, Senator Reed, of Missouri, and Senator Smoot, of Utah. Mr. Elbert S. Peel is gaining prom inence as a public speaker, and dm ing the past week made two addressee one in Washington county, and also at 1 he-sells, N. C. Mr. Perl-is sche l.uled fin a.number of school exercises this month anil June. | lion. Clayton Moore is at home foi a few days, but expects to make an extended trip through the New Eng land states during the moritn. Mi Moore is a very interesting talker, i great believer in North Carolina and Martin County, and on his frequent journeys he does lots of boosting .foi this section, which is the best adver tising there is. Mr.. Kailer H. Crawford is a busy njan these days and it is all about the new fire department": "As the Ittjf Chief of this organization, Bro. Craw ford will no doubt show the town what a real file company is, and can do. It ip hard in this progressive age for one brand of merchandise nut to become antiquated unless it is con tinually improved upon. Today in Martin county, Monkey Kun» is in high disfavor, all because a new brand of moonshine popularly known as "Pea Ridge" has caught the public fancy, and all reports go to show that this new brand is of surer kick and velocity, than the old favorite monk. To talk with John I). Ward, gener al contractor, is to at once feel there js an aiV of mystery surrounding sev eral big proposed building projects which may be erected during the sum mer, but of which the public are not yet aware. Hro. Ward's enthusiasm is always refreshing. Tilfi . recent Town and School Con vention was the most" noteworthy event of the past week, and furnished thrills and amusement to all so for tunate as to be present. Wo hope the ladies will not let thi sdisappomt inent cause them to drop out of the political arena, but, here's hoping it will make them more determined ne>: time. The popular expression that "Noth ing is sure'Ws certainyl a mistaken thought heJfin Williamston—Go to any of here, thinking you can borrow some money, and it will take only a few seconds to find it is a "Sure Thing" you cannot. When it comes to .gollecting taxes, Sheriff Roberson seems to think that money grows on trees, or some othei convenient place, and he actually in-l sists on you paying him. We are in favor of some other method of.pub lic revenue, but nobody seems to be able to suggest tha proper remedy, so the bnly thing lefft is to settle up. There is always Something to take the pleasure out o fli.fe, and we can only think of one alternative—buy a garden spo tout at Garden Terrace, farm and live at home, and be a sub scriber to the Enterprise. Before we can enjoy our brand new system of water worki, them is the plumber to deal with—and of course i. Williamston, Martin County North Carolina, Tuesday, May 3,1921. NEGRO STEALS THREE BARRELS OF "LASSES" Thursday night Sam Everett .alias, Sam Roberson, broke into the ware-J house of Biggs and Stalls and stole three barrells of molasses. Mr. Stalls did not find that the house had been robbed until early next morning when the ony Idue to the thief was a ham mer, which Mr. Stalls- knew belonged to Turner Williams. Upon inquiry he learned from Williams tl\nt the ne gro Everett hud borrowed the ham mer the night beforn, ostensibly to mend a cart. Upon this clue Mr. Stalls and Chief Page went out to Cedar Mill farm, about two miles from town, where they found one barrel I of mo lasses' near the house. Following n track to the woods they found the other barrel), also a lot of mixjng ap paratus. Though Everett hud not bad the time to begin his work, prepara tions for the mixture showed plainly that he was working on a big scale and is evidently an experienced block ader. He was placed in jail, failing to give bond. Everett will most likely he convert ed from a liquor-making farm hand to a road hand when the ,June term of the Superior Court convenes they have three good cou&nts on him, house bieaking, larceny and attempt ing to manufacture liquor. S. HOME BIGGS SI GGESTED FOR CITY MANAGERSHIP With the beginning o fthe new fmi nicipal administration, the citizens of WiliiamsKtn are —nnxinti-r to —see the city's affairs nut on strictly a business basis. We have a largo investment in wa ter, sewerage anil electric light plaids —these plants have to Operated and properly kept in condition and repair; the street cleaning and street upkeep department is a matter 6f vital im port a,nee; the sanitary conditions ol the town affects every person living within the corporate limits; there are local taxes, water and electric light rents to be collected; there are daily matters of great importance which should, have the direct atteuti)i ol some one person Many if Williamston's leading cit jizons have suggested that this enllre business should tie put into the hand: of one person who has the time and i> capable of. successfully handling such a proposition, and.S. Rome Biggs, ; om of the new commissioners, who ha* i valuable technical knowledge of pub lic works and who is practical and capable of handling the various othei city's affairs, has been popularly men tioned for this position. ■ It ia wot yet ""rtw'n what steps the Commissioners wil Itake alortg tliif line—no doubt they havq the best in terests of the town at heart, and want to see their administration meet will success and popular approval, and 111 i would he one way to make a very fa vorable impression u|ion the citizen who were so unanimous in their o lection of this board. It takes a special charter for ; town or City to have a regular cit; manager, but under the plan outline.' above, with the board of commission ers acting as directors, and the mayoi as chairman of the hoard, and tin city attorney as adviser, if b certain that such an organization .would be hard to beat, and cities that have such government never go back to the old form. We are now starting on a new era of business judgment and sound, solid ifnd sane business dealings, and it it just as important for the town as for the individual.—J.S.l'.

Wade is' seeing unmistakable n J activity in the camps of the "l>liie-f Sky," wild-cat stock exploiters and looks forward to a big spring drive on tin- part of these enemies of pros perity. Ilis otlice is receiving daily M oor of inquiries from oil companies, milling companies, companies promot ing" patents and various kinds of schemes, all asking for information a to how In get, into the state. 'flic old companies that were suspending in January also were desirous of return ing to the field where the) won > many victories, and their oHicers aiv getting bus) in pel-son, or b\ a(tor ii, all along the line. W hen these companies appl) for li cense, in for the renewal of licence., I hoy are going to tinil the state's de fenses considerably strengthened. Some of the things which the appli cant will have t odo are: First, secure a licence for ever) ale ;m;in that it put in the field, and arrange a bond of in a icpu taldo boiiilme, I'omi|i.iiiv , for each sale I mall. llc.k a liond ,Willi-|iei , M.nal .ecui it ie . was nil that'was i|inred and no justification. was ie i|llired oil such bond. I Second, the company can sell stock only for cash, or for notes made pay able to the company, and the old stunt of endorsing such notes."with ou trecourse" will hot be permitted. The last legislature passed a law pro hibiting this practice, and it will no longer be possible for a -slick s.ih ■ • man to load a man up with worthies, stocks, take his note for it and then let his com pan]T stand from under h\ endorsing the notes 'without recourse.' Third, the ctmpany making appli cation will receive the closest sou tiny. I'lider the law the commision er has authority to make an investi- gation of everv company making ap plication to sell stock, at 'the com pany's expense, and the commissioner proposes to do this very thing, lie believes that a personal investigation by a dependable representative of the insurance department" will be worth more than all of the recommendation and affidavits ever collected and filed by one of these "ltlue Sky" coinpanie .
