THE ENTERPRISE
Another Big
far iff Fraud
One of the most arusing protective
tuiiff schemes palmed oil on the pn.
pie ol the South in several genera
lions was that lalse conception fraud
' ulently conceived assembly at Greens
iioio ITist week, called and held fot-ntr
i other purpose than to catch the jieo
ple unguarded.
11 was nothing less than the old wai
horse out ti.-hing. They used nice bait
and covered the point of the hook with
much cunning. They come to folks,
yes business folks ,and ask "them i>
they do not want to get into the game
of protection. The report shows hie*
of the banks of the county apyiuvn.
those crafty resolutions, which is very
regrettable. It is never"iTght to job"'
I ones with, a wrong principle even
though it may appear to -offer some
financial advantages. The burden id
the tariff argument for fifty years
has been the argument put out by the
great manufacturing interests claim
in)? that it would help labor, ili
have kept lal>or following along' in
these promises for this entire period.
Hut, alas, where is labor today? A
poor and dependent as ever. Where
is rapital today? Clothed in. political
power, the libe of- which bias never
l»een surpassed but few times since
the history of man has been written
•Nothing has done more to centralize
wealth, fatten the few and milk lly
many than the American Protective
Tariff.
Of course they don't need the South
to help them now, They know tlieii
business. They know that this sys
tem can stand for only a season. They
know that a new fight will come up
and that they will go down in defeat
Consequently they are entering new
territory. They ure making their up
peal to the Southern business maq,
and they are throwing out much ''pot
tage." They are seeking the birth
right of the people in the hope that
when the battle line is next drawn
they may have many recruit--, from
the, ranks of the enemy of ye.-terycar.
They are trying to get the house ill
viiled" against itself.
■ We should never lose sight of th
fact that practically all of our pan*
. and hard timeshavo been thrust' upn
us by the baron* of. Wall street,'win
have fattened out of the substance t.
the masses. The more we study tli
present situation the more certain we
i are that we are paupers and. beggai -
> because they will that we In* ,-uch
Like the see-saw, their property ha
gone ifp high in-value while the v;rh
ue of our products has decreased.
Yes, they have the cheek to romi
down South and tie up our busines.-
inen, including our bunkers. Well, wi
are eliteri 11 i'u very dangerous gaitn
led by a very dangerous bunch. It i
sail-that we have formed a partner
ship with our oppressors.

Did NKEN MAN SHOOTS Ml LE
Last Sunday Henry Howen went ti
the home of William Hidlis in Pop
lar Point and took from stable
his mule and buggy. He then went ti
the house and got Hollis' gun, al
without the knowledxe of Mollis and
proceeded to set out on a wild reck
less' driye abound th ecountryside.
i After several hours of hard drivini
' he shotflthe mule, two loads of burl
t;hot entering the mule's hips am
slanting forward. Attest reports tin
mule was not dead but was though
to lie ruined if he recovered. Bower
immediately took to th ebushes 'am
has not yet been captured. It is jusl
a little puzzling to the human mint'
-to know how degraded and low a fet
low can become, and if Rowen is cap
tured, doubtless the force of the law
will he- felt by him.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
THAT IS BEING WASTED
The following is taken from an edi
torial in the Washington Daily News
of the 25th:
"Washington is the logical mar
ket for all farmers in Heaufort,
llyile and Martin counties. We can
make this part one of the best in
eastern North Carolina, if we will
all work to that end. The largei
our markets arc, the more we will
be advertised. Then let us all get
busy."
Well, we commend The Dail News,,
Washington has the right to buy our
farm products and sell us our good-?.
Yer, -she--hits -the- right t-o absorb us;-
dry us up and blow us away. And by
tin' way, sum eol' our people are help
ing her out by sitting down and growl
ing, complaining, cussing and fuming
about dull times, while the money
folks of our county ure oing to Wash
ington and spending their money. It '•
is a common sight to see a large num
ber of Martin county farmers in Wash
ington every day and the merchant;
may be sure tlia tthey are spending ;
their money. They do their time trade
in their own county but go away to
buy for cash (they say it is cheaper).
'""Beaufort county is now building ;
great road into the heart of our cout.
ty and if we don't stir ourselves, ere
long we will be forced to shut up ti
shop and our only amusement w ill he
watching the eager thrones as they
riileJiy. Oh yes, we can turn the tide!
whenever we exert the proper fore.
- for us, theyare loyal, |
they will stick by ua, all thing
ing equal, such as roads, prices, ar |
coinniodations, invitations, pleasant
words, smiles and a glad hand. Let
us wake up.
WHAT AUDI T PRICKS?
Editor of The Enterprise,
Williamston, N. ('.,
Dear Sir: .
I have an opportunity to sell my to
bacco ungraded and know nothing a
hout the price. Please lot me know
if you have any information about
prices for this year's crop.
i Yours truly,
Jame-viUe, N. ('., Align-1 'JI, l!l'.!l

Mr. -
.lainesville, N.
Dear Sir:—
Voiir letter of inquiry to hand. I
know nothing of the price of tobacco
for the coining season. That is some,
thing that will lie fixed by a very few
men and they never ■ toil- .us. any thi In;
iu advance. The people who raise to
bacco' have nothing whatever to do
with making or miming the price ol
it. It is said that there is a
supply of old tobacco on hand, whicl
is extremely doubtful.
The present crop of all types of to
bacco from Carolina Hirght Leaf to
Kentucky Hurley i.- short, first from
a reduced acreage, second from tin
extreme dry weather, only a few
places having good crops. 1 should be
very cautious about selling too soon.
Willi reasonable business conditions,
prices should be good on good grade ,
If your party wants to buy lie ha.
some evidence that prices will be good
or that you have very good tobacco
Generally the best thing to do with
a crop of tobacco is grade, it at home
amrput if'on the -warehouse floor.
Very truly yours,
THE'EDITOR

; IN N. C. EVERY YEAR
1 Statistics show that 50 per cent of
the potato crop in North Carolina is
■ lost every year due to inadequate cur
ing and storage conditions. This loss
lias been reduced to less than two
per cent in those sections of the state
where curing and storage plants have
been established. The l". S. depart
ment of Agriculture has perfected a
sweet potato storage house that is
used generally H u over the South
with almost perfect results. A large
house of this type has been built at
! Kocky Mount in Nash county to take
care of the potato crop this year. Nash
county also has quite a number of
• smaller houses of different types.
1 Mush county has the record of being
the first county in North Carolina to
organize a cooperative marketing as
' socintion for sweet potutoes. The
large house at Kocky Mount belongs
to this association.
' Since the boll weevil will soon be
here and since there is so much inter
est in sweet potatoes in this and other
' counties, the Extension division is
planning for a tour of farmers to
Nash county on August 29th to inspect
' the large storage plant at Kocky
Mount. The tour will start from New
Bern on Monday morning the 29th,
' arriving at Ireenville about 10 o'clock
A. M. At Greenville the delegation
will he met by other farmers fiu«i
1 -Onslow, Jones, Lenoir, Pitt and Beau-'
1 fort counties. From (jreenville the
delegation will proceed to Kocky
Mount. Monday afternoon will be
' spent inspecting the storage house at
Itoeky Mount and possibly a number
of smaller houses on yie furmt) of
*. Nash county ,if the farmers wish to
see them.
From Kocky Mount the delegation
»ill go on to Italeigh to attend tliei
Farmers' Convention which begins on
Tuesday. County agents should fur
rush farmers will all information in
connection with the Parmer's Con yen
tion.
Before attempting storage on a coin
' nii rcial sci.le, 1 feel that every county
agent should educate his fanners in
• regard to producing disease-free po
tutoes, ami to care for them proper
ly.* This will mean that a number of
-.mull storage houses wil lhave 'o be
' built over the county before the far
' in,'is gain sufficient experience to go
1 into potato storage on a commercial
scale, r-
Connty agent Burroughs, District
' Agent E. W. li'aitliei, and the H,cre
taryol the Kocky Mount Chamber* of
'Commerce have kindly agreed to as
sist in making the i ceasion a success.
' I'leusc have a notice of this tour print
ed in your local paper at once, and if
' possible, send me a list offarmers who
' wish to go, not later than Friday of
' this week, l.et me u. n » jou to see
every farnte ruiterested in sweet
tato storage and get him to go along
with the crowd. The time is short so
we must act quickly.
