Yhe industrial situation in this coun

ot common consumption, and in which
depression has existed for practically

of clothing and shoes, have oxperionc

REPUBLICANS FALLING
DOWN ON PROMISES
Extravagance in appropriations,
lack of a program and the failure to
mak egood election promises are the
chief characteristics of the Kcpubli
can legislative situation in Washing
ton at this writing,
ton at this writing. The charges are:
The Republican promises to reduce
Federal taxes, but are increasing
them.
They promised to make a speedy
technical peace, but the peace situa
tion is up in the aif. .
They promised to revive business,
but there lias been constant dP
cllno in foreign trade anil continued
depression of securities.
They promised a reversal of Amer
ican foreign policies, but have ad
hered strictly to the policies of the for
nier administration.
These charges are made ami the
proof furnished in n large part by Re
publicans. Take, for instance, the
statement of Senator Horah (Hep.,
Idaho,) in discussing the Army Sup
ply Hill. He said:
I wish to ask our Republican
friends on this side of the Chamber
whut are you going to do about the
question of ecenoiny'! What is your
programme? What is your plan?
There* i« no provision anywhere for
reducing expenses or reducing taxes.
There is no programme to that effect.
... 1 should like to know, in view
of the constant discussion of the ques
tion upon the part of Republican lead
ers that the taxes are now unbearable
I>llil that they must be reduced, when
and where are they going to reduce
them .' Where in tho programme ?
Senator King (Dem., Utah,). iutor
iopted to say:
-"'lhe senior senator from Utah, Vr.
Hinoot, (Rep.) stuted that there would
be an increase, so 1 say to my Re
publican friend from Idaho that hit
pa ly will not only will not reduce
taxation and not produce economies.
I'Ut increase taxation and will increase
tl e expenses of the Government."
"That is not the kind of doctrine I
wanted to hear, but I am afraid it is
true," replied Senator Boruh.

GOV. MORRISON AND
DANIELS DISAGREE
A very unique occurrence took place
at the University of North Caroling
on Commencement Day, June 15th.
One hundred and twenty-six members
of the graduating class, one hundred
trustees and professors and distin
guished visitors and an audience of
three or-four thousand people sitting
complacently in Memoriul Hull were
witnesses of perhaps one ol the most
unique forensic ambushes m history.
tor over an hour Secretary Daniels,
111 nuiking tile Commencement Ad
dress hud called to the youth of the
state to determine for themselves
what was right, what was the truth,
to stop following blindly in the foot
steps of their lathers and blaze foi
themselves new pathways; to turn
tnei rbacks upon the past and look to
the future.
After delivering the diplomas to
the graduating class Governor Mor
i ison stepped forward and stated lhai
he had something to say to the depart
ing class. He then took issue with
J-ecietary Daniels upon every mum
point ol his address. He admonished
Uu> youth of the statu to accept tin
existing order of things and put the
burden ol proof upon the one win
would have tham deny it.
Seldom, if ever, has the Gn.
ol the state taken such an opportun
ity to address tlie members of the
graduating class. Never has he tak
j en advantage of his position to chat
li-.ige the remraks made by the main
immense audience present were sur
piited is putting it mildly.
THK HEARS LEADING
New ltwrn seems to have the edge
on the other teams of the Eastern
Carolina league. New Bern has in
its lineup the best members of the
I Carolina team for the past season, n
now looks as if tho Carolina team will
w r another baseball championship
l.its season. The Caorlina team h..
>in enviable reputation for coining
from behind a lead and winning the
i;iiiiu by hard and opportune hitting,
in fact it looks as if there are too
iirmy innings (ji a game to beat the
New Item team. Monday Greenville
nail a lead on New Hern but Ipst out
in tiie lust few innings. Y -mteiday,
the same thing happened in.Wt.Mldng
ton. 1 -«fty Wilson has pitched tw«
good games so far, holding die kin-
M.inians to one measly hit and let- j
'ing the hard hitting Greenville ag
g ligation down with two hits, l.ew
elljn has replaced I'ollock in twc.
paries when the latter hud a'lowed
f.i II to be hopelessly pounded anil
k;.s hi each game held his opponents
v. i' out a run. To one who does nt
know much baseball it looks like a
cane of foo much New ltern. We don't
know how long New Hern's winning
.vtrrak will IjjMt, bnt we expect it will
laht until the complexion of the other
leums change.

STATE SANITARY
6PFICER IS HERE
Mr. J. A. McLeod, State Sanitary
Inspector, was in town Thursday. The
sixty days allowed for the property
owners to Ale applications for water
or sewer connections or build sanitary
privies are out. After conferring with
the town authorities Mr. McLeod has
agreed to extend the time for twenty
more days or until the 7th day of July
1921. '■ - umf , "
The State Sanitary Laws provide
provide that every property owner
within each incorporated town provide
tor each residence a sanitary privy,
water and sewer connection or septic
tank. This law has been enforced in
every county in the state. 'Every town
in Martin County has been placod un
der the operation of this law except
Williamston. In view of the fact that
Williamston was constructing- a sys
te mof waterworks the property own
ers of Williamstoh were exepted from
the operation of this law.
The syste mof waterworks has been
completed and the state authorities
say that if within the next 20 days
the property owners of the town ol
W illiamston do not file applications
for water and sewer connections that
the state authorities are going to take
hold and enforce the law in William
stou. 1 You have got to taks one course
or the other and do it quick. The fil
ing of the application for water anil
•ewer connection exempts the individ
ual property owner from the operu-
Nupposo you fail to file your appli
cation for sewer connection within the
next 20 days. What will happen?
The state sanitary inspector comes a
round and placet an unlawful ca*d
• pun jour privy, which requires you
win u a certain date (16 days) to
• uake water or sewer connections, c«/*
,-iUuct a septic tank or build a sani
tu• > i rivy. If one or the other of
these is not done within that time
you will bo indicted and prosecuted
under the laws of the jta'e of North
C uoi la. The (itate authorities are
t-yug to cooperate with the property
owneivof the town. They that
it will take time to connect all the
I o i'ly owners of the town of Wil
iiaiiirtcn ..with the water and sewer
