■'» (Uy Julius S. Feell
W'illiamston's newest suburb. Gar
den Terrace, is fast taking on the
semblance o fa busy center, and with
the present plans of the promoter
carried out, there ij. no doubt but
ibis delightful addition to Williainston
will offer a continuous source of a
nm.-ement to pleasure seekers, ami a
valuable business addition to the sur
rounding community.
Coder the management of Messrs.
Frank S. Hitch and Robert Feel, then
will be a WaySide Inn, furnishing soft
« drinks and meals to customers, togeth
er with dancing and other amusement
on the second tloor, followed by loui
months each year of swimming in i.
brand new, luxuriant swimming pool,
fifty by one hundred feet, completely
('quipped with all modern apparatus,
running water, bath-room, showers.
-* etc., with lawn tennis court.-*anij othei
outdoor amusements in season.
Mr. Julius S. Feel is arranging to
have a railroad tiding and coal shute
put in during tlie next few weeks,
where will be erected large storage
warehouses, and platforms, and with
adjacent yards, and a retail depart
merit on the roadway, Mr. Feel will
hndle a complete line of farm am
building supplies,.and will also build
large or small houses at minimum
costs to customers, or furnish any ol
a thousand things handed by leading
supply houses; .and it is here the far
mer can gel real priceson all kind
of fijrm supplies and receive the high
est prices for his farm produce. Coal
and wood, and possibly ice in,.season
will also be handled.
The bland-new gasoline service . ta
tion Will be formally opened to tin
public within, a short while, and tin
will no doubt prove popular from tli'
very beginning, as already nuinhei
of people have made requests that tli
opening be hurried along.
(ial'den Terrace industries will l»
a big addition to the business and ,-o
rial life of this immediate section, an
il is the purpose of the Dialing' nifni
to continually draw trade which at tli
present time does not come to V\ i!
liam.-ton.
The amusement seekers of at h-;r
half-dozen neighboring towns ha\
given their."assurance of liberal at
tendance at the.swimming pool dance
. cabarets, etc., and this is a+vvH.v* +
cash proposition, and the people must
be amused.
The farmer w ill have the opportun
ity'of buying from carload shipment
of all kinds of farm supplies, thu»
saving money account of the bulk a
mount, and also by the small ovcrlu
\pciiH'. and -systematic way in whirl
the business will lie operated. Tli'
farmer wil I also have the opportunity
of getting city prices on light count i
produce, and-also a chance to sei
direct to the mills his peanut.- jjn
(•otton, thus giving him an additiona
ten to thirty pel cent for his labour
The building supply department wi
amply take care of the wants of hun
died- of people who continually de
sire building material at the lowe-t
prices, and who also desire estimate
and ideas on buildings of various de
seriptions. This department woill hav
a designer and estimator, and will alsi
build houses on contract or the pc
way, offering the public mon
for their, money than heretofore given
along this line.
The Enterprise and the people 01
this section generally are anxious'y
•mvaitjne the •ipi.eing' up of opcvati'iii-'
at Garden X'V'race, and unanimously
it is predicted the various' ventures
will meet with deserving success.

REFLECTOR PUBLISHES
MAD ATTACK ON US
On the 2Nth inst., the (ireenville Re
Hector made a mad attack on us for
a news article published in the Enter
prise of September 2.'ird, regarding a
tobacco sale made by Mr. Louis Feel.
I he Reflector evidently forgot the im
portant things—reason and thought,
in (ireparing their article.
They made no less than three Hag
rant errors in their statement, hirst,
they said that we stated t in pile ol
tobacco was sold ten times for ten
djfjeront pi ices. This i- untrue. We
stated that one pile of tobacco was
odl ten times for nine different prices.
Again they say that we attacked the
Greenville market, this is entirely un
true. We did not say one word I'm
or against their market. We only
suggested that the present method ol
marketing tobacco is one of the -most
fooliosh thittgA- that farmers can do
The next charge is that our article
was a "prevarication and a malicious
attempt to deprive this section ((irecti
villel ol what it has So justly won
in the production ami sale of bright
leaf." Every word of this statement
is false. Lastly they dispute the en
tire statement and say that this is
false. To this we say to the Reflect
or: "Go Slow," for we had had both
sense and honor enough to prove out
proposition before we printed it Yes.
all we said is true and we can estah
lisli It at any time. The Kellccjtoi in
fairness should also print this state
merit.

The charge of profiteering might
well be made against the liurcau 01
Tuberculosis of the Slate Hoard ol'
I leal 111 and the North Carolina T,:
lieiculosis Association admits Dr. I.
11. Mcltrayer, Director of tile Bureau
and Managing Director of the Asso
ciation. This admission is made in
view of the number of 11ve-j saved
and cases of tuberculosis prevent" I
since I'.Mfi, when active mca-tires I'm
the control of tuberculosis were begun.
Since that time live have lie n
avd HI Noril. *'i c'ina. These lig
ores are based on I lie supposition that
the .same death rate would have oh
IHi tied in 192(1 as in Iftlli if no preeaii
liouarv measures had been taken but
.there is'small doubt hut that the rate
Would have increased considerable. Il
has been derftotistrated that an active
ease of tuberculosis who is careless
will infect at least eight other pet
sons and it is therefore stated that at
least 17,(MM) infections have been pre
vented. This represents" 'a ' saving in
money to North Carolina of over slix,
000.000.
The funds thai it has taken to ae
complis lit his are derived from State
appropriation and from the sale of
Tuberculosis Christina* seals ami the
approximate amount so expended dur
ing the (i year period has been s},ooo
000, This amount includes not only
nil State appropriations for tubercu
losis work but till funds expended by
patients taking treatment nt the State
Sanatorium and all funds raised
throughout the state by the sale of
Christmas seals.
It would therefore seem that every
dollar invested in tuberculosis work
brings an enormous return and Dr.
Mcßrayer further asserts that with
an expenditure of two dollars pei
capita per year for one decade, te
bereulosis can be practically elimi
nated.
Is this saving of human life worth
[while? We think so. If considered
from a financial tsandpoint only it
means that an average of two and
one half years will he added to the
life of every resident of the state.

SMALLESTCOITONCROP ■'
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
"i thi ltc»'ij Lf th# Bulletin of
ti • onul .>!( ~f Cotton
M .** i latturers jjrin-s a n.taih; chart
w h appropriate 0.1 It says
-1 h* nccjmpanying chat btings out
graphically the small size of thi-i
years American cotton crop, as fore
casted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in comparison
with other crops since 1900. Thi*
chart is based on crops in terma of
500-pound bales, exclusive of liaters.
The crop this year, according to tfle
forecast of July 25, will be 8,20.1,000
bales This may be compared »ith
liut year's production of 13,360,754
bales and the maximum crop produced
in 1914 which totaled 16,134,930 bales.
"It is necessary to go back to lS'Ji
to find and American cetton crop as
small as that predicted for theyeur,"
ays this Bulletin of the Manufactur
ers, but it points out that since that
time a great change has taken plaoe.
"In 1H96 the American cotton munu
f'uctuiing industry was les.s than half
as large as it is at present, .laving
i-nly about 16,000,000 spindles, com
pared with U5,000,000 at present, ami
the world's cotton manufacturing in
i'us try embraced only 90,000,000, com
pared with over 150,000,000 spindle
now."
We print above a narticle on the
cotton situation and while many pen
pie seem to he surprised that cotton
has ever gone as high as 20c yet based
upon all thecircum stances Surround
ing us we need not he surprised to
see cotton go to .'i()c before ninety
days. The South is entitled to the
value of the crop and if the Southern
farmer sells too soon in the old fash
ioned dumping method, then the spec
ulator Will get the benefit of the .short
crop. Marketing a crop is just in im
portant as growing it.
HAS FAITH IN AMERICA
New York Sept. 'M.—Discussing the
business outlook, John Wanamaker,
the New York anil Philadelphia "mer
chant prince" said:
"I have more faith in America to
day and ufore expectation of tho t'u
ture than at any time in my sixty
yeari in business life, in our store 1 ;
we are expanding, rather than re
trenching. 1 am asked 'Why are you
putting tlne goods to the fore, such
as jrwelry and silver from the Orient
when business i sso slow?' My reply
is 'I have faith in America.'"
"There will be plenty id' work foi
-all d we show out faith. It is a mis
take to hold back, to relax to wear
blue glasses, to hold money in our
pockets, rather we should make need
»d improvements, building and rebuild
buy and sell, putting to work our
money, energy and brains, everything
we have to make the country busy and
prosperous.
"Instead of curtailing advertising
our stores wc are enlurging it. In
stead of standing pat we are making
improvements which gives work to
many mechanics both day and
We mean to be ready for the good
times just ahead.
"France, Germany and England, hit
harder by war than we are, are put
ting us to shame by taking off their
coats and getting to work. Money
nuut come out of its hiding place, in
banks aril homes, and ?e; ti» werk."
