DUKE CRIICHER, Truster. THE ENTERPRISE SHERIFF MAKES A SPECTACULAR RAID Tuesday, Sheriff H. T. Rolierson, with the assistance of his deputies and revenue officers made a whiskey raid on the farm owned by Noah T. 1-eggett, just two miles west of Roh ersonville. In the woods in front of the Leggett home were found the re mains of at least a dozen plants, be l tween four and five hundred gallons of beer andmrfeveral monkey rum. Only- a small quantity of whis key was kept in the house. Tom's son, Staton Leggett, lives only a short distance from his father and his family got the hint that Revenue officers were on their trail, so when the sheriff reached his hduse, Jim Knox, im assistant, was caught trie cling about ninety knots an hour for the woods with a five gallon jug of monkey rum in each hand. In the rUsh Knox hail managed to saturate his clothing with the stuff' and whe.i the officers revived from the effects of the inhalation, they 'lidn't know whether Knox was an anaesthetizcr or a transporter of monkey rum. Sev eral jugs of whiskey were found in the home and barn of Staton Leggett. The sheriff arrested Noah Tom Leg gett, his two sons, Staton and Charles, upon the charge of distilling whiskey and arrested Jim Knox on the charge of aiding and abetting in the making of it. They were released under bond in the sum of $200.00 for their ap l»earance at the next term of Record er's Court which will be held May 2-1 JUDGE DEVEREAI'X'S DEATH The unusual circumstances connect eil with the death of John l)c --vereaux, who was a former North Carolinian, has some\ connect ion with Martin anil Bertie Counties. The Do vcrcaux ant I Rholut* families were very prominent in the above mention ed counties in the early days, even just prior to the war between the states. These families lived in won derful style during the ante-bellum days, and many interesting recohls are handed down of their achievement and history, evidences of their having livetl in this section are found in the names of swiimij lands on the Roan- Ake river; everyone is familiar with Ihe locations of the Devereaux and ltholac swamps. Judge Devereaux came to his death in a most unusual manner. He bo came suddenly ill and was nursed by Gpldie Gordon, u pretty artists model, whom- Howard Chandlier Christy re garded as Tulsa's most beautiful girl, another woman who nursed him was Mrs. Jesse James, both of whom arc held in connection with the aged jur ists death. It is reported that they appropriated $1,200.00 from the fudge during the ton days which: they. mi r>-_ eil him. Another.member of these prominent families, who one# lived in this old section, i. Dr. J. Do Rholac Hamilton, dean of the department of history at the I niversity of North Carolina. Dr. Hamilton, who is familiar not only with the history of the world,' but also the histories of Martin and Per tie counties, was born and reared at Hillsboro, but his paternal grand father livetl in and entered the Uni versity from Martin county, anil Dr. Hamilton, who is a by-product of this county has many interesting tales to tell of the county of his ancestors. — Robert Fitzgerald.

Martin County North Carolina, Friday, May 20th, 1921 'WEAR A POPPY' AS A MEMORIAL TO HEROES In keeping with a newly inaugurate eil custom, every American is urge# to wear a red poppy upon his or her breast on the national Memorial Day, May 3(1, as a mark or loyalty and res pect for the memory of the boys who sacraficed their lives- on the battle fields of France during the woldr war. v > This is a beautiful custom, patriotic idealistic and worthy in every re spect: It was in a moment of inspiration that the late Colonel John McCrea fixed forever in the mind of niankiml the poppy as the sacrificial symbol of tender respect for those who died in the world war —a- he did."o* His noble poem, "In Flanders -Fields has achieved Universal popularity; and the crimson flowers which nod be tween rows of crosses in the soldier cemeteries of Northern Fiance have been brought home to lis as the approi ate token of the blood and the peace ful sleep of the heroes who gave all for civilization and human liberty. In its annual convention at ('leva land, Ohio last fall the American gave formal acknowledgement of the fitness of this Symbol by offi cially adopting the red poppy as the memorial flower of the organization, to be worn by legionnaires everywhere on Memorial Day in silent tribute to their dead comrades. Other patriotic organizations and societies, notable among them being the Daughters of the American Hevolu tion, have officially taken similar act ion. -- • - - u » The "poppy resolution" that was a dupted —by—the—Cleveland -eonvention wus introduced by the legion delegat ion from Georgia. The resoJution had previously been adrtpted by the Georgia state convent ion at Augusta, last rfummer, through' the efforts of Miss Moina Michael, of Athens, whose poem in answer to the query expressed in Colonel MeCrea's masterpiece has been generally recoir nireil a? being ait* 't.c the be-t. if not •he l.fst, of many such poems that have been' publised. Only one change was made by the national convention. Inst end .of- fixing Armistice Day—which is essentially a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing— for the wearing of the poppy, as pro vided in the original resolution, the rfWeland convention specified that th Flanders flower be wnrii on Memorial, or Decoration day, when the brance of our heroic dead is called to the mind of the entire nation. Therefore it is urgently suggested that on May 30 all patriotic citizens shall wear a poppy. No matter whether formal obser vance of the day is planned, or wheth -«'P such- observance may lutve been held on our Confederate Memorial Day" a poppy in the buttonhole will bear witness to the hallowed memory in which our recently fellen hcores is held, and will connect up to the wear er with Americans everywhere in a universal expression of gratitude and veneration. Millions of silk poppies have been made during the last year by the wai orphans and widows of France to be sent to America for this occasion. The very life blood of Flanders fields ha\e gone into .their manufact ure and they will be distributed here through the American-Franco Chil dren's league and the proceeds return ed to France to benefit those who made them. It would be in the nature of a noble and patriotic expression if every Georgian and every American every where were to wear a ,red poppy on May 30. Those wishing to buy these silk poppies for ten cents each can place their order for one dozen with Mrs. Sallie A. Biggs, Mrs. A. R. Dunning or at The Enterprise office. Proceeds will go to the French war widows, and orphans. GOOD ROADS MEETING There will be a meeting of all the people of Martin CSountJ' and i*r rounding section in Williamston on Tuesday, May 24th, for the purpose of bearing Mr. W. A.

The Rev. L. U. Pruette, who is well known through out Hit Baptist world in North Caro lina, and who has been, pastor of one church iu Charlotte for twenty-seven years, proved himself to-be a most elot.ucnt and effective speaker. His ..ermons were masterpieces of diction, and lie told the stories of the Christian luitli in a most forceful ami charming manner. All of his discourses were up to bin high standard, but*it is lieved that his sermons on "the Story of the Cross," "Love?" and "How We May Know Wo Saved," were the most impressive. * Mr. Pruet te is a IK) rn easterner, but has livetl ill the other section of No is h Carolina all his life and great ly complimented the hospitality of our ection. Every day he was a guest for meals in different" homes, thereby getting in close touch with his peo ple, and he often remarked that* he believed Williamston was the most hos pliable town he had ever visited. It is believed that the visit of Mr. Pruette to Williamston will be of much benefit, he dul not claim to be a pro fessional evangeljst, with cyclone methods of getting people into the church,' but simply a minister of the tiospel who preached to the people the doctrines as taught by Jesus Chtist. as found in the llible. Several add! lions to the church were had during Ids \i itatlon, and those who heart! him were much impressed with his great, sincerity. sTouRTToLDLHS IO .Ml'.

Manning, Dear Sir:— I was astonished and grieved to see u. the Enterprise of May 17th, a se lection headed "No Rainbow after De luge." Tlr. Paul Haupt, a German Inlidul, Professor of the Semitic lan guages in John Hopkins I Diversity, is trie compiler of the I'lychome or rainbow or Many-Colored iiible, which vainly pretends to do with manuscript written i nour own time, that is to distinguish tile authorship of portion.-, of a narrative written by different "persons. In this monstrous so-called Hible, lie puts in different color pas sages supposed by the self-styled "Higher Critics," to have been writ ten by different persons in different ages, thus denying the authorship of the books of the llible b> the inspired penmen whose names they bear, and | assigned that authorship to later, un known and uninspired men, and set ting aside the Uible as an infallible revelation from Cod. He puts in dif ferent colors, not only verbis in the same chapter but even clauses in the same verse. No sensible or honest man believes any book was ever so composed. In Genesis IX:lit the word rendered "bow" is, in the Hebrew, (Jesheth, which is defined in all Hebrew-Eng lish lexicons, "born," and in the old est 'Creek' translation (the Jieptue giiit l made in the third century before Christ, the Greek word is toxoh, ren dered by the Greek-English lexicons, "bow," Mr. Haupt admits that "bow" is the word in the Babylonian tablet; but thinks it ought to be rendered "rh brush," because he finds fly-brush Trr tlie pagan tablet and because-huge, feather brushes were used by the old Assyrian and Egyptian rulers, and the pagan tablet says that "When lster sees the Gods gather around the of feror likea -warm of, flics (because thero had been no offerings during the ffood), she is so incensed that she takes the lly-brushes of her father, Ahn, kiiiK of the gods, to drive uwa) the gods." The professor thtlfc de liberately prefers to the polytheistic, j false and outrageous account of the deluge and the rainbow to the mono theistic, true ami sublime account giv en by Moses, the inspired servant of God! I am sure (that the people of WilliaiustOn, Martin county and North Carolina .incomparably prefer the word of the true and living God to the wolds of ignorant, heathen idol aters. There is but one God, and He is the eternal and Almighty Creator and 'Ruler of the universe and the Old and New, Testaments are His written and infallible Word. SV Lv ESTER lIASSELL.

The program lust year was most pleasing, so much so that the guarantors for this sea son were easily gotten, ami we feel sure they will be paid for the bene fit which the town will receive from uu educational, moral and religious point of view. This is the tenth season of the Swarthmore Chautauqua, and each year it seems to have grown better; each year it has drawn larger crowds, ami has been of much real benefit to the communities it has visited. There are tiurty-l'our town in North Caro lina iti tiie association which j>£tfves thr.t it is popular with our people. The program promises to be one of appealing interest, there will be some features attractive to every oae, some serious subjects will be discussed, some of a lighter vein, and every at traction is sure to be of benefit to some one of this community. Una of the most valuable features of the week will be the lecture by Arthur Daugh erty Bees, of the University of Penn sylvania, on "How History Today Make* the World of Tomorrow." The Mendelssohn Orchestral Club is an other attraction which it* sure to please. The leader of this musical organization is Howard Evarts, the llulist, formerly of Lnnes band. The supporting members are all musicians of great merit. The Comedy Drftma, "Nothing liut the Truth," promises to be an attraction which will rival the marvelous stage effects produced by the internationally known belascoTTT bubbles over with laughs, jn.d it is even better than last year's success, "It Pays To Advertise," which so much pleased our people. The "Magic Circle)" is the lecture which Walfred Lindstrom will deliver. Mr. Lindstrom was chaplain of the 32nd Division of the American forces in France, was gassed, spent six months in a hos pital and his lecture is sure to be of vital interest and fascination to all who hear him. The Irish Minstrels is a group of entertainers who arc sure to please. They endeavor to give selections of Irish song and wit which will charm all lovers of folk lore of the Emerald Isle. The Clarke Con certs Party is another organization which must be of merit. Mr, Clarke is a pupil of the great Jean de lieszke, with whom all music, lovers are ac quainted. He is said to have a tech nique of a musician who is the soul of charm. The Junior Holidays Party for the children is sure to find a hearty response in the hearts of the little ones. All of the children of the town will he invited to take part, and of course that will-draw -the older ones, for each person is interested in sortie child; in fact the program advertises the afternoon as being for the ciiil dren form six to sixty, and after all, all of us are but children grown u.i an dreally have within our hearts !, ■ spirit of childhood. The Dunbar Male Quartette is an other attraction on the program, anil fro mthe good looks of the young men who compose we are sure the au dience will he filled with admiring feminfhity for the occasion. The Chautauqua promises much tloasure and entertainment and bene fit to our town and every one should at once acquaint himself with the guarantors and procure seats for the entire performances. There should not be a spirit existing to wait for some one to give tickets away but every cit izen of the town should lend his coop eration towurds the success of the Chautauqua.
