Why Martin County Business
Men Should Get Behind the ,
Farmers and Help Organiz^,
Dear Mrv Business Man:
Mr. Business man, who lives in Mar
tin county, this is a straight letter
* to you. You live in a town which is
dependent upon the soil. Like the
I tree which has its roots in the sur
rounding soil, so is your town rooted
in the nearby farms. \I& the soil is
fertile your tree grows* If the far
i. mer is prosperous ybjr town aod your
trade grews. Tfie roots of your town
are roads leading out for miles to the
newrby farms. If the men who use
tlfose road v routes have the kale in
theinjKOckets when they come to town
it with you. If they are
money you are losing money.
'#r!u* cannot live by yourself and you
(HCTitior have the standards of -living
yym "want to have unless you are doing
business and associating wij,h the
prosperous farmers who aer making
moAey year after year.
Cotton, tobacco and peanut farmers
never have made money as they should
4 .—lt is true that most farmers make
a little-clear cash in 1919 but you
know a successlul business makes a
—Httte" money besides interest on capi
tal and wages for 1 work every year.
In 1919 and in 1919 only have the far
mers made anything like they ought
to have and like other dealers in other
commodities make every year. In
1919 you made money also but like
the farmer you also lost when
the farmer lost his. '
Cotton, tobacco and peanut farmers
have been for this last season trying
to get hold of the business side of
farming like the dealers ip other pro
ducts have hold of theirs in order to
make a little money each and every
year as other people do. They are
not trying to get rich but are only
trying to make a decent living on
the farm as any business man fc- e "'
titled to.' They are trying this thru
cooperative commodity marketing
which is founded on the safest bus
iness principles of our time. Mer
chants in other towns and other state
are helping to put over these cam
paigns because they understand co
operative marketing and they know
what it will do for the farmers ami
also for them. Mr. Business man, the
Farmer" needs your help -and- if- you
are not blind you need the farmer's
help. The fanner need cooperative
markrting because it will make him
proeperous and you need cooperative
mariceting because It will make you
prosperous. Any merchant who does
not want to see thfe farmer make
money is not worthy of the name of
mefrhant. f »
This past two weeks the farmer;
of Martin county have been trying to
sign up for cooperative marketing of
cotton and tobacco. The merchants of
nearby towns understand cooperative
marketing and are backing it to the
limit. They know that it always has
worked where ever tried on these sani
business principles and they know it
will work on cotton ami tobacco much
more thoroughly than in / other pro
ducts tha tare liable to be perishable.
- They know that the State Bankers
Association has endorsed this move.
They know that the Federal Reserve
Bank has endorsed thin move. They
know that New oYrk bankers with
millions to lend where the security is
good are already doing
some good business w ?h the coopera
tive association? in c .fm and tobac
co as soon as they are organized. Mr.
Business' man, the farmer needs you
and you neM the farmer.- Now what
did you do to help put over coopera
tivetive marketing in your territory?
Wonts you please wake up and study
cooperative marketing contracts and
see if you don't think your customer?

THE ENTERPRISE
WASHINGTON EDITOR 1
GIVEN BIG SEND-OFF
The following resolution by the '
Washington Motory Club expressing. '
the estee- rain which Mr. Goerch ami
the regret at his going is a tribute '
that should be gratifying to Mr. 1
Goerch, and we feel very sure thai 1
the sentiment of regret is folt by ; 1
the readers of the Washington Daily 1
News. They have* been tightly drawn 1
to Mr. Goerch for his honesty, his '
frankness and his fun, for his paper 1
not only gives the news ljut pleasure, ■>
and many of the citizens of M:.r(i !
County will regret to see him leave
Washington for New Ben., a town that I
is not so close to home.
"At the regular meeting of the Ro- '
tary club that was held last night in I
their meeting rooms, resolutions were I
adopted, expressing their regrets ovei ]
the fact that one of their, strongest '
and ablest members is to leave town, '
Carl Goerch, by name. Carl has boon
one -ofcthe men behind the gun who '
have started and- helped to make the
Rotary Club in this city a success, i
and he has been one of the best com- I
munity workers ever seen in Wash- i
ington. The following resolutions I
were adopted: 1
Whereas, Carl Goerch, a citizen of |
Washington and a member of the i
Washington Rotary Club has resigned 1
as editor of the Washington Dally 1
News, and is about t omove from I
Washington and become editor of the
New Bern Sun-Journal at New Bern.
" 'Now therefore, be it resolved by i
the Wauhington Rotary Club. I
"'First, that we express our deep ]
and sincere regret at his departure
from our city. In his change of rojii
dence, our Club has lost a valuable |
member aitd one whose place will be I
hard to All. 1
" 'Second, that our city has lost one
of its best citizens, one who ever la
bored consistently for the up-building
of the city and the be.st interest of its
citizenship, who by his afts exemplili
ed the Rotary prinicple of "Service
Above Self.".
Third, we-extend to our ueghborin? I
city New Bom, congratulations up :
on thelt acquiring such a good citizen, i
and to the Sun-ournal, we extend con
gratulations upon their success in get
ting a man of Carl oGerch's type t i
All thei reditorial chair, ami commend
him to New Bern and Craven count)
with entire confidence that "the bet
ter you know him, the more you wil
like and appreciate him."
A special song was also written foi
the occasion and it was sung lustily
by all members present. It goes some
thing like,this:
Carl Goerch is going to leave us boys, '
And w ehate to see him go.
He's brought us many joys,
And we, indeed, shall miss him so
But we hope that he will always see
Happiness wherever he may be;
And some day may see the way
To come bark to us and stay."
, need cooperative marketing fff cotton
and You are going to have
! to choos eyour future prosperity in
, the next few months. The farmers
, remember the men who helped put
over cooperative marketing and when
he gets on his feet he doe sbusiness
with thBDH j
J On the other hand he remembers
t the othe rmen and is not liable to
. do business there. It is foolish to
> imagine that you can stop coo|»erative
. marketing of cotton and tobacco in
j your own county even. It is already
r working in other states in cotton and.
tobacco. It is working in wheat,
fruits, potatoes and baled hay. It i*
' coming like a tidal wave and It if
coining on business principles.
Thl sis just a plain letter to let
you know that you are sleeping at th*
post if you are not out actively cam
paigning for cotton and tobacco ct>-
oj eration. Peanuts have al ready gone
over but it didn't go over as success
fully in your county as you nee I it to
,go over. Perhaps you had better
think this letter-over and see if it
would not pay you to investigate cr
-11 per a' iVe market'ng.

MARTIN COUNTY
✓ MAN ABROAD
A cablegram has just been receiv-j jj
ed fiom Mr. R. O. Everett saying that 1
lie sailed for the States July sth on |
the steamer Mauretainia. V 1
Mr. Everett .re p resell t d North Car- 1
olina at the National Cotton Confer- '
ence held at New York on May tht
JHlth ami 81st, and was a delegate to
the World's Cotton Conference which '
convened at Liverpool June the 13th.
Mr. Everett has been writing most
interestingly concerning the activi
ties of this great world meeting—
the general conference in the fore
noon, the committee meetings in the
afternoon* and of the extensive and
elegallt entertainments in the even
ing and the perfectly appointed so
cial functions which were arranged
and provided by the English people
for their guests.
These meetings were held repeated
ly) for three days in Liverpool and
for three days in Manchester—the '
two cities rivalling in their hospitali
ties. The Aniericah delegation, two
hundred in number, stayed at South
port, a resort eighteen miles from 1
Liverpool and thirty from Manches
ter. Special trains were operated '
daily for their convenience and with
out- cost Every department of the
cotton industry was represented— 1
growers, distributors, exporters, im- 1
porters, manufacturers, seed crushers
and garment makers. The growers
felt keenly the need of an organiza
tion, and of more importance being
placed on this initial branch of the
industry. Arising from this feeling
the International Association of Cot- |
ton Growers was organized. The of
ficers elected for this new world co
operative movement were: Mr. D. R.
Coker, of South Carolina, president; j
a vice-president from each cotton
growing country in the world and Mr
R. O. Everett, secretary.
The cotton conference clo-ed «1
Manchester on June the '.!" nd with a
great banquet and speech by the Lord
Chancellor. Mr. Everett was in
don on June "the thirtieth and wit
nessed the unveiling of the HouddV
statue of Washington in Trafalgar
Square. ' ,

phoid fever can entiu- tlie ttmhr uuly '

is to avoid swallowing anything that
hears its germs. To this end it is '
essential that premises be kept clean, '
that germ bearing conditions be guard
ed against, ihat germ carrying flies
be kept from table and kitchen, that 1
tating places which fail to observe
proper precautions be shunned. To
make doubly sure everybody should 1
be inouculated. There is no excuse foi 1
any perssn in Martin County to have !
typhoid fever because every one jan '
immune himsel for herself with this (
treatment. With the opportunity thus '
at hand to combat the disease, every '
resident owes it not only to himself 1
but to the community to take advan

menace to the lives o fthose it seizes '
but every victim is ,a menace to the 1

FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS
I
Since President Harding has floun- '
dered around and listened t(j the rad
ical slush of the country aimed at
Wood row Wilson with the hope of find
ing some honorable and sensible way 1
of settling the war differences he has
been unable to find any light. Yet i
he seems to have laid aside his preju
dice and has gone lyick into the vaults
and has gotten out some of the Wil
son charts and policies. Armed With
there he goes up to the Capitol and
does exactly what the Grent Wilson
did, the same things for which the
roaring raidcal lions heaped so mud
hat re dand abuse upon Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Hurding»has been too selfish t(
associate with the other nations of
the earth, and has shouted "Amerika
Ameriika," until he, with Mr. Lodge
and his cohorts destroyed the i
humane document ever written for tlx
government o fa people outside of
those written by an inspored pen. And
now we see Mr. Harding softening a
little bit and inviting the national fain
ilies to a reunion in Washington. And
they are all coming. They ar6 all
longing, for the opportunity to partic
ipate in any movement that will hush
the warcry, and feed the hungry am)
clothe the naked.
Yes, Mr. Harding and his party
should be most severely criticised foi
what they have already done. But if
he has truly repented and is now ready
o do something, lets all lino up on
ihe movement ami help it all we can.
HOME RULE IN IRELAND
For many generations t/e cry for
Home Rule by tho Irish" has been
heard in and from all corners of the
earth. It has beeu the knottiest ques
tions England has had to grapple with
and the greatest differences was relig
ion in Ireland itself. Each end of
the Island wante dto rule and while
they wanted home rule yet each party
seemed to prefer rule by England, Ja
pan or Etheopja to be ruled py the
other faction so the condition has beer
such that they could hot lie turned
loose until the were pacified and fOi
that reason they have dragged along,
contendin gand fighting. From the
present look of things old' Ireland will
soon be free. Then what will the
Irish have to fight over?

A SUGGESTION TO THE
ITOWN AUTHORITIES
It is quit* noticaable and very grat
ifying to see the town authorities en
forcing th elews of the state and
lown. A majority of the offences .so
Tar are for failing to stop at corners,
to burn lights on cars ami driving
cars when under the age of sixteen. 1
These are good and proper laws and '
are especially made statutes for the I
purpose of avoiding accidents.. Lil-.e
all other laws they should be enforced. ;
But Mr. City Officials, permit us
to call your attention to a few more
weighty matters than these. First, 1
we would call your attention to the 1
gambling that is going on in and a-
round town. You will not have to
search so very long to find it. In
fact, the gaming has gone so long un
checked that it may be found in many 1
places, and nulike some other breaches :
of the law it is indulged in by many
classes of citizens and even by those
who are too young to be citizens. It
has been continued so long by so many
good fellows that many folks "go in
the game" without giving it much
thought.
Some young men carry dice and
other game equipment on their per
sona so that gambling is made easy
becomes popular.
The laws are written full of penal
tioa "R , iin ! t but in some
way the gamblers are such good fel
lows that they have a powerful em
brace and are very hard to tackle.
Second, we are of the opinion that
every time the automobile law is
broken once the liquor law is broken
twice.
LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN
H. S. WARD
To the farmers of the First District 1
of North Carolina:
Gentlemen:—
I kave received answer from 1
the Department of Agriculture, Bu
reau of Roads, to my inquiries, touch
ing your opportunity to'get picric acid
cartridges for blowing stumps. It is
too ask the paper sto publish, and
very hard to condense so you could
understand it. This left over
from the war, was supposed to be of
fered to farmers ift cartridges at an
extremely low rate, bu* the railroad
rates are- so high, it looks to me like
you ure practically denied the bene
fit of what the government intended
to be almost a gift, and on account
of these rates 1 doubt whether the
State Board of Agriculture will feel
justified in taking hold of the propo
sition at alj. If it does, it will he ship
ped on the order of that Board, in
car load lots, and where you have lo
cal organizations, will be shipped out
to them for distribution among you.
You see from this just one illus
tration of your need of effective or
ganization, ,unjl the extent to which
you are suffering from railroad rate;*,
I write this because' of the large num
ber of inquiries I have received from
farmesr of the dlstrlat. Write to the
Agricultural Department at Kaleign
for full directions or see your farm
demonstartion agent.
Yours truly,
H. S. WARD.

A FEW WORDS
REGARDING THE
NEW STOCK UK
(By a Martin County Fanner)
I noticed in The Enterprise a few
days ago a few helpful hints in regard 1
to permanent pasture and other feed
growing crops. I wish to say to the
farmers of Martin county that it is
a very easy matter to raise enough
feed on a very small piece of ground
to support a large number of stock.
One acre of permanent pasture, well
cared for in that it is well manured
find propery Imowed to prevent the
larger weeds from overpowering the
clover and graces, will furnish suf
ficient grazing for at least two milch
rows and one hundred laying hens the
year around.
The Stock Law does not mean that
every farmer must take down his
fences and only have a knotty pig in
a corner pen. It spellls more stock
an dfar better stock for the fanners
of Martin County. The
which would bring $5.00 each at six
months of age will be abolished for
ever and be replaced by pure breeds
of some kind that will sell for $16.00
to $20.00 at six weeks old. It doesn't
require any more to feed a pure bred
hog than it does a scrub, it doesn't
take any more to feed a Ave gal
lon cow than it does a two gallon cow,
but offer both grades for sale and the
buyer will do the figuring for you. ,
It is time for our farmers to pre
pare for the stock law. If we look
at the results of the farmers who have
used permanent pastures we find im
proved stock that sell for at least three
times the price of the scrubs. Take
advantage of their experiment and in
a short period wc will be convinced .
that if we had had stock law long
ago the M aft in County stock a\
would be just one hundred per cent,
higher.
CARD OF THANKS
To my friends: "la mtaking this
method to thank all for the kindness
shown my mother, both of aid and
loving sympathy, during her sickness X.,
and death. Also for the sympathy
towards me, in both acts and in words,
being so considerate of my needs of
condolence after Mother was gone. 1
beg that all accept my heartfelt thanks
with assurances of my sincere appre-
ciation.
