tridsy afternoon a good represen
tation of farmers from every sec.ion
of the county met at the City Hall
and heard a good speech by Dr. B.
W. Kilgore, of the proposed plan of
organization of cotton and tobacco
growers associations. The talk was
dear and to .he point. '
In explanation of his reason ft>r ap
. pesring before Martin County farm
"*era on this mission Dr. Kilgore stated
that for many years he had endeavor
ed to give his" best thoughts and ef
fort* to help the farmers of .he state
to produce more and better crops and
that he was gia dto say that much
progress hat been made along that
° line, but that he fel. the work of teach
ing the farmer the best plan for mat
testing his dVoj) was equally as im
portant as pijpducing it. The general
'details of ti# contract were explain
ad, and from all indications to the
*|Mtli u satisfaction to at least 95 per
Mat of the farmers present as that
, many showed a de.ermined desire to
go forward with the work.
At the close of the address J. G.
IGodard was asked to preside over the
meeting and J. L. Holliday to act as
* aweretory. A motion was made to
#tect Mr. C. Abram Roberson of Rob
artonville, President of the coun.y as
sociation was carried. A complete

It was the sense of the meeting

THE ENTERPRISE
A FAMOUS INTERVIEW
WITH LOCAL CELEBRITY
Jr "(By Julius S. Peel.)
"I shall continue' to live in Wil
liams ton," said J. Laurence Peel, bet
ter known to his friends and admirer
as Bill, when interviewed by a repre I
sentative of the Enterprise this morn
ing. "I ihould*move to New York in
oruer to be in closer touch with my
compactions," he continued, "but it is
a hard matter to pull sway from the
old town where I have spent so many
happy years. ,
Ihe writer surprised Mr. PPPfTT
an early morning call at his Jewelry
establishment on Myn street, and be
tween a rush of customers spent a
delightful few minutes with our new
est celebrity. Being in s reminesCcrt
mood, he told me a number of pi ■
ing incidents of his boyhood daysman
low he had always wanted to write
a song. w
"I was born near Bear Grass, ir
this county," ha said, "but the most of
my life has been spent in Williamston.
I havebeen continuously in the jewel
ry business, except for a short time
spent in Virginia, handling-pills, how
ever, my talents have always been
strongest for poetry and song-writing
and to this I have devoted my .spate
moments.
. "Song writing is no easy work, and
unless one has a natural bent towards
co.uposing, failure is almost certain.
And then there are always a
number of unbelievers who offer you
di oouragement and light of your
ieuorts towards any unusual occUpa
tk n such as this.
"1 have been writing short porin
I ant- catchy lines'of verse for some
time now, more for my own amuse
i meat than for the public, however, at
the request of a number of friends,
1 .i' cently sent to a publishing house
| a hit of ja; z melody, entitled "The
E\ oryday Knocker," and I Just have
it back set to music, it seems very
much worth while to me, and by spec
li:il request of the New York firm,
very likely I shall release it for sale
du Hit; the next few woeka.
"The 'Blue-' song which is have just
composed is the one which particular
ly meets my satisfaction, I expect tt
have it on sale at all music store-,
by early September. It should sweep
the country by storm, as it is much
sui»crior to any 'Blues' heretofore pul>
lished, and the mugica Itime it suit
to satisfy the jazz lizards.
When asked by the writer where ho
secured material for his many won
derful poems, and other compositions,
Bill confided that local environment
furnished amply his wants, but that
a knowledge of human nature was ab
solutely nwcessary to insure succej*
along this line.
The Enterprise offers every encour
agement to our fellow townsman in
hi* new line of endeavor, and no doubt
it is only a matter of time when his
efforts will bring to him both fame
and fortune.
A number of Williamstoniuns have
heretofore lightly jested with Bill con
cerning hist productions, but this pa
per takes to task such local spirit, am.
it is to be hoped that these citizens
will assume a more encouraging atti
tude towards budding genius.
Ever since the world began, genius
has met with an uphill fight and un
friendly remarks and criticises, and
long and tedious is the road to the

COMMISSIONERS'
ROAD MEETING

The Board of County Commissioners
met at the Court house Momiay, pres
ent: J. L. Hassell, J. L. Coltrain. H.
C. Gteen, Henry D. Peel with the road
trustees of ali the townships of tne
county.
The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the road work of the county,
which was done at considerable length'.)
The legal phase of road work was ex
plained by Clayton Moore, county at
tomey. He explained the advantages
of the county unit over the townshij
system. That the county unit was rec
ognized by the state and federal roai
systems and received proper racogni
tion and assistance from them, while
the township systems are so numer
ous and local in their nature that co
operation is practically impossible.

RAILROADS TREATED BETTER
. THAN FARMERS
Last year the railroads of the United
States asked the government for a
loan of $700,000,000.00, to enablo them
promptly granted and in'aifinenuenu
to do business. This request was very
promptly granted and in addition r
guarantee by the government that
they, the railroads, should make f
per cent n«( on their investments
which are based on their own valua
tion of $19,000,000,000.00. These spei
ial privileges were granted in May,
1920, when hte roads claimed tha i
they were in distress.
The farmers have recently askei
for aid and on the 17th day of Ma>
1921, a bill was introduced jn the
Senate authorizing the loaning of S6O,
tMJO,OOO.OO to the 12 Federal Land
Banks that they might in tUrn loar.
the money to needy farmers. From I
every standpoint of logical reasoning j
and good thinking the farmers are a i
much entitled to help as the railroads |
Indeed, a few political thinkers art
of the opinion that the farmers are j
in reality more important than thi
railroads. Yet the Houu of Repre
aentatives granted the Railtosds 2f
time* aa much help at it did the far* ]
mere. ' \
Perhaps one of the chief reason fo i
this favoritism it that Congrett comer i
in touch with the ftrmsrt one day i
two yean and comes in touch with i
the railroads 729 days in two years. (
The farmers of the country, how- (
ever, should thank the Democratic rej ]
resentation of the South for standinp- (
squarely for their interest 3and if the ]
Democratic party were in favor ir (
Washington things would be different j

PEACE BY JULY 4TH,
REPUBLICANS' AIM
Washington, June 26.—T0 have the
United Sta.es technically at peace by
July 4, Independence Day, appeared
t obe the aim of Republican leaders
in Congress in charge of the Knox-
Porter peace resolutions.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
chairman of the Senate and House
conferees on the resolutions, returned
tonigh. from Massachusetts, prepared
to renew negotiations early this week, j
probably Tuesday.
Early agreement on differences be
tween the Senate and House resolu
tions is predicted by Republican con
ferees, who are expected to reach a
compromise basis before calling in
the Democratic conferees for formal
ac.ion. The compromise most widely
discussed would mould a part of each
of the, Knox and Porter resolutions
into a new conferees' draft, taking
the Porter plan for declaring a state
of peace instead of repealing the war
resolutions, a.-, proposed by the Knox
rosolu.ions. It is believed that the
conferees will adopt the Knox reser
vations as to American property
rights and oth*r features of the Knox
plan.
