Why Farmers Should Join
The small amount that each grower
is called upon to invest in the Ex
change is a mere trifle as compared
with the losses that will come to eacl
one individually, if the Exchange it
not perfected. If the peanat grower;
fail to come together at this time, the*
they will be at the mercy of the spec
ulative interests not only for this crop
hut for years to come.
At no time siAce last summer hat
there been shown such marked inter
est in the perfection of the Exchange.
Not onl yare more growers taking an
active interest in securing signers, but
they art having a larger measure of
success in proportion to the effqrt?
they are putting forth. The most en
' couraging sign is the goodly numbei
of Urge growers who are now signing
up.
Talk about risk. What greater risk
can anyone take than t*> go to the'ex
pens* of famishing fertiliser and seed
preparing and cultivating land, an.
than harvesting the crop, without an\
assurance as to how it is to be solft.
Tha risk of a small investment to put
across an organisation is mighty little
* as compared with these larger riskt
that farmers are taking all the time.
Tha way/or peanut growers to stop
such hatardous risks is to com eto
gether and perfect the exchange.
You are not a member of the Ex
ahanga till enough of your fellow grow
ere sign the contract so as to give the
required number of signers. This it
why it,is so all important that you
da all you can to get other grVwers t
coma in with you. So do not hesitate
to impress upon your fellow grower*
to tha fullest the necessity of theii
coning in so that what you and all
•tha others have done shall not go by
default.
Our Exchange contract is so drawn
that unless we get ready to handle the
cup of thif year all is lost. This t
why It la nihessary for the organisa
tion to be completed at once without
further delay. Much remain to be
done after securing the necessary nun.
bar of signers.
This effort to prganizt the Peanut
Exchange is part of a nation-wide
movement to secure better marketing

THE ENTERPRISE
NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
Charles Hufhain, highway engineer
for the state of Delaware, has accept
ed appointment to the same position
in North Carolina, an dwill come to
the state within the next fews weeks
to begin his new duties. Mn Hufham
spent several days here last week
when tjie Commission was in session,
and went over the work with the mem
bers. He telegraphed his acceptance
to Chairman Page. Mr. Hufham comes
to North Carolina in" place of Clifford
Older, r>tat ehighway engineer of Illi
nois, who was appointed by the com
mission at its second session in April.
Mr. Older accepted tlje position, agree
ing to come to North Carolina early
in the rthnmer, and later reconsidered
his decision, because of the unwitlirv
nes.s of members of his fan ily to
leave that state.
The n«-w highway engine«- is a
?:radunte in engineering at the Host >n
ustitute of Technology. Some ; ears
ago the Mul'onts determined to build
a paved highway across their stale of
Delaware. Mr. Hufham was in their
employ at the time, and he was del
egated to go into every state in the
L'nion, and into several foreign coun
tries to study roads. He went at the
expense of the DuPonts, and came
home and built one of the finest pieces
of road in the world. Then he was
made state highway engineer of Del
aware, and continued the road build
ing provided by the general assembly.
Delaware is said to have the finest
system of road in the country, most
of which has been built under the di
rection of Mr. Hufham. Mr Page has
known him for severa lyeaiw and has
high regard for his abilities as an en
gineer.
Immediate Construction
immediate construction on 482 miles
c' loads in North Carolina, costing
over $7,000,000 has been ordered by I
the state Highway Commission, ami
much of the rood will be completed
and put into service before the end ol
the summer. Every district in the
State, and almost every county in the
st.it*, is included in the list of pro
ject* approved for immediate constric
tion.
Altogether the Commission has a|
proved the building of more than U
million dollars worth of road, with i
totul of more than miles since
reorganization was effected following
tue enactment of n?w road legislati n
by the last session of the General'As
■einbly. Limitations of material sup
ply und construction forces ntaken it
necessary to give some roads prefer-
Mce.
Money for »hool Building*
Five mi ion dollars appropriate J by
the (.en .Tul Assembly for u biulrfinp
fund fo 'BWorls, to be loaned at fne
per cent interest to any eounty that
needs it, will b« distribute*! on a pop
ulation per centage basis, according to
regulations formulated by Dr. E. C.
Brooks, state superintendent of pub
lic instruction.
Counties are at liberty to begin
right away and depend upon their
shure of the flve million, with the as
suiknce that the loan wil Ibe available
by January 1, 1922, Dr. Brooks de
clares. If the state is4hen unable to
apll the bonds, counties themselves
may make arrangements to dispose of
them and utilize the proceeds for theii
building.
If the entire amount is nut borrow
ed on the pro rata basis, the remain
der will bo distributed among the
needy counties. Dr. Brooks is of the
opinion that it will all be borrowed,
and mora could be loaned out. Ap
plications have been coming in profus
ion for several weeks Blanks are be
ing mailed out thja week to all school
authorities upon which formal appli
cation Is to be made. Approval of
the director of schoo lhouse panning
is required before any loan ia approv
ed. The money is to be paid back in
20 years. ' »

ORDERS RECEIVED TO
BEGIN SURVEYING
Chief engineer Haxton has received
instructions from the Highway Depart
ment to begin surveying the proposed
highway going north as soon as pos
sible. This will mean much to the
people in this section as we have been
reading, talking and dreaming about
good roads so long that even our op
timism has begun to wane, a little
real action will do all of us'good.
THE CROPS
The winter wheat crop in the south
west has been reported as suffering
from drought, the estimate for Kan
sas being materially reduced. Evident
ly there was a considerable short in
terest outstanding, whicn was impell
ed by the crop news, together with
the steady export movement, to covej
its position, and the result was a rise
at the outside of about 60 cents per
bushel in the May delievery, while the
July delivery advanced about 26 cent*
For the 46 weeks ended Muy -19, the
ex|iorts of wheat ani» flour from ti>e
United States and Canada amounted
to the equivalent of 3Hy,712,629 bush
els, and for the single week ended at
the abov date the exports were 9,260,-
946 bushels. The movement from Ar
gentina has been disappointing to
those who looked for lower prices,
being ahmpered by the po(t strike at
Uuenos Aires and the governments
policy as to export taxes. It is evi
dent that the carry-over in this coua
try and Canada will be small.
A report which lacks confirmation
has been in circulation, telling of tin
movement of a cargo of wheat from
England to Russia. However that may
be, there is little prospect of exports
from any part of Russia this year and
the supplies of the Balkan countries
will not be large enough to afford any
contribution to Western Europe. Crop
reports from other countries are gen
erally favorable.
Common opinion about the cotton
acreage is that the reduction from
last year will be about 30 per cent,
and that the restriction in use of fer
tilizers will cause a furher curtail
ment of the crop. Cold weather ha?
retarded planting and germination am 1
the outlook at the beginning of the
season is for a substantial reduction
Dairy products have been about
steady during the past month, but
are going into cold storage for n-
winter at prices not above those of
the pre-war period.
The live stock murkets have beer
fairly wall maintained during the last
month of May, hogs at Chicago hold
ing above .00 until the last days ol
the month, when thay broke through
that price. The rattle and sheep mar
kets have about held their previous
position.
The weather has been cold and th
season is a little backward, but the
soi love rthe leading farming states
is in good condition, labor is plentiful,
and the crop is beiag put in with cost)
argely reduced. *
A MYSTERIOUS NOISE
Last night about twelve o'clock a
loud and most alarming noise was
heard on West Main street. It was
hard to course the exact direction of
the disturbance an are di
vided aa to what and where it was.
Some people have advanced the idea
that some one was attempting to en
ter a residence from th« roof of the
front porch. Night policeman Mr.
Gurganys was within a blo»k of the
scene making his night rounds. He
investigated and searched both the
bad* and front premises where it was
possible that the noise came from but
no mark* or trttees were found to in
dicate any solution to the mystery.

SHERIFF GETS TWO
STILLS IN LAST RAID
Sheriff Roberson, Deputy J. T. Ed
mondson and policeman J. F. Gurgun
es fliWffß WJJTttP SWHI yesterday and
found several barrels of beer, kindling
wood and all necessary equipment for
the proper Aianufacture of rum ex
cept (lift dtTfl itself. These were d|.vn
on the river side and near the farm of
WiTT!am Griffin, colored. After de
stroying this equipment they then
went brfck to the farm of Mr. B. A.
Critcher, tenanted by Charlie Dawes,
where they found a plant which was
still hot and where three "barrels of
beer were ready for work. The oper
ator had evidently been warned whilf
the sheriff was making the first raid
and he had removed the still and three
gallons of rum frotp their original
position to cover a fefc hundred yards
away. The still was a complete cop
per rig but of small capacity, holding
only about twenty-five„geUq|»s. It Is
thought that the operators
ple from other sections as the public
has not suspected any of the parties
who own or till the land.
STILL A SPIRIT OF SYMPATHY
Recently when the Hyde and Bowers
children were taken to the North Car
olina Children's Welfare Home In
Greensboro it was indeed gratifying
to those taking these children to find
and learn what a spirit of sympathy
and compassion pervades among n
large per cent of our people. Kindness
and help in many forms, r.uch as fi
nancial aid, clothes, kind words, smiles
assistance in getting on and off train
and titl bits of every description were
the results of the pity, and fellow feel
ing that most of our people possess.
It was also pleasing to leave these
children in the shelter and care of
such a delightful home as the North
Carolina Welfare Home. The Polly
anna spirit was evident in every one
from the officials to the smallest child
there, and the air of godliness, clean
liness and cheer given made us realize
wha ta blessing the institution is.

This school will be —*Hn~T~+
proved teachers from the Department
of Education and while it will not
carry a long line of subjects as ie done
by the summer schools of the Uni
versity and other large institutions, it
will give a close personal attention to
the very things needed by a large ma
jority of our teachers.
What should be Williamston's at
titude toward the summer school?
This question is well worth our con
sideration. No better opportunity ever
comes people to do something
really good than when strangers come
around. Practically every person that
will come to this meeting will be some
young man or woman who i strying
to make good in life and accomplish
