During lie first quarter of 1922 rs ports of 1781 cases of whooping cough have been made while 363t> cases were recorded for 1921. Only 366 cases ol measles are en record as compaied w to 6570 last year Typhoid fever is promising to respond to tlio pressure that has been made annually aincf 1915 a with a reduction in numbei of reports from 97 to 62. Dipthcriu and scarlet fever alono show increase over 19'21 but this is due to the fact that those diseases wer\s so prevalent during the last part of 1921. There were 14,264 cases of all dis eases reported for the above three months of 1921 and 6,097 for the same period of 1922. The citizens of this county are urg ed to cooperate In preventing diseases. The first step is reporting case* promptly. WM. E.

I'ou of tlie fourth drstrict, temporary presiding officer, the outstanding fea ture of tkat occasion. Some of the party's guardians and "leaders" are on the preliminary scene and many an old political hen will be set during the week on seven months eggs designed to be hatchd out in Novmber. The third congressional district is causing more anxiety than any other spot in the party firmament at pres ent, there being a whole setting of eggs in that one district alone for the primary to dispoao of before tho hatching time. Saturday is the last day for any citizen who wants to be congressman, judge, solicitor, state senator asso ciate judge or corporation commission er on either ticket to declare himself and pay his fee. Tlie lists close next Satrday night at midnight though any notification bearing the stamp of April 22 will be accepted and filed. Four judicial districts congressional districts, seven solicitorships, scores of those who will seek senatorial honors and the place on the oCrporation Com mission were unspoken for by either Republican or Democrat. But fsw Re publicans have applied for any office though a fll rosuter of them is ex pected before the sxpiration of the time limit. Figures About Tar Heels in the War Following a requcot from Commis sioner W A Graham of tho North Car olina Department of Agriculture Sen ator Simmons obtained information from the Adjutant General's office, War Dopartmsnt, saying that com plete figures showing the number of North Carolina men who served in the Woild War aro not yot available, but that ths folowlng estimates could be given: "The most recent estimates, based upon the number of statements of stirvics thus far completed, it, that approximately 4,438,000 men served in the army as enlistsd men during the period of hostilities or, whom some 94,900 entered the service from the state of North Carolina. It has also been sstimated that of the 206,1160 commissioned officers came from that state. "Recently compiled casualty statis tics show that 2,606 North Carolina soldiers, of whom -76 were commis sioned officsrs and 2,429 were enlisted men, lost their lives during the period of tho war and that 3,823 others in cluding 166 officers and 3,000 enlisted men, were woundsd. Slate Wins Again in Railroad Tax Court Order Tho State of North Carolina and the State Department of Revenue, A. 0. Watts Commissionsr, hwvo ''agutn won a court flght against the big railroad systems that have been de laying payment of income taxes. Again arguing their suit against the taxing department of the state the railroads were unable to mow the fed eral judges who recently dnied their application, their honors refusing a gain to continue the injunction pend ing the hearing of that appeal before the United States Supreme Court. The carriers are in the anomalous position of asking an injunction a gainst nothing. The court has dismiss ed hte action against the state. The reads have appealed. But the rel pur pose of the application now before the court is to stay the collection of taxes. The three judges who sat in these cases point the roads to the highest court. They refused to stop payment until they are themselves stopped. Judges Connor and Waddill, who heard the informal argument of the railroads, granted thirty days to the roads thus staying the state's proced ure against the companies another month to give the Supreme Court of the United States a chance to act. After he expiraiori of that hirty days the roads will have to pay what a mounts to a substantial million dollars annually in taxes. Judge Connor, sit ting alone, set June 16th for kite fi nal hearing on the income tax frature of the litigation. % » NOTICE Norh Carolina Martin County, To Jim Hooker and all others inter ested: You will take notice that we pur chased "two acres of residence" of Jim Hooker at a sheriff's sale of land for taxes listed in Goose Nest town ship, at the court house door in Mar tin county on the 6th day of June, 1921, and unless redemption Is mads we will demand a deed from the Sher iff for said land u directed by law.

FOREST FIRKS Many destructive forest Area swept over valuable land in North Carolina laat week. On Tuesday, with tte high est wind in years some one put Are in a large tract of timber in Bear Grass township, that caused much damage to a large number of people. No housee were burned but it took diligent fighting to save the homse of Messrs. S II Mobley and Jesso C Raw la, where the fins was swept by the wind. On Saturday a party put fire in a tract of timber land on the Jamesville and Washington road in Griffins town ship and the woods being thick and exceedingly dry it was soon "wild Are" and burned for several miles through much valuable timber, sweeping the tops out of big trees. Fanners along the path of the Are also lost much fencing. Mr. C C Coltrain lost a large stock houne but no stock was burn ed and very little fed Btuff lost. It was only by the moßt heroic work of hundreds of volunteers, many of them coming from mlies away, that every building that at least a doten families owned was saved. Some of the people are wondering what to do with a party who will start such a fire to destroy his neighbor Thero seems to be plenty of law but little of it used. Such a crime ax this should require sever punishment. Mrs J W Watts Jr is visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs A E Wadsworth at New Bern.

H, KNIGHT, IF TOv QUICK RESUUTS USB A WANT AD IN THK ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1898 A TAXPAYER'S LETTER ABOUT CITY AFFAIRS Dear Editor: I have been wondering for soma tune as to why my labor was suddenly leaving to take jobs with the force that is woking our streets, until by inquiry from Mr Smith, road rKiof I Jearned that he was paying la >or $2.00 per day. We have been uxiab e to get labor at less than $1..50 per day altho other concerns in our line ar>j paying but 75c to $1.26. This ia hai.dicap o> nough when you have to sill your products in competition with these firms, but when you have to compel* with your town on a basis that no private concern could exist under, it would apear that there ia certainly something decidedly wrong. 1)/ going over the names of oar Town Commissioners I find that they ang all business men and I wonder if they have occasion to employ much labor how they would figure that they could pay such wages and g> out tn the pen market and sell their good*. I would give a lot to learn their secret if they can get by with it. I am not a "knocker" against high wuges. I realize fully that when wages are high we are in the midst uf pros perity. This condition, however moat be general and cannot exist tn iso lated spot*. We are about taxed to death in this town, and it is a generally accepted fact that the town hasn't an over supply of money to do with, but pray tell me, Mr. Editor, how it can be otherwise when a policy of this kind is pursued T Everywhere you sse except in Municipal work, and it sign* of economy and retrenchment except In Municipal work, and it would be well if this idea Were applied swouldwetyoOjtE shrshaahrshrdahhh h there also. A TAX PAYER BUSINESS CITIZENSHIP What does a business man owe to the city iu which his buainesu ia lo cated besides the paymen ef taxeal Nothing, some close-flated and tight lipped busineaa men will sa>. But they are not the biggest success, nor are thuy the kind of business men who get the moat out of life. The ijufiinesa men who mac* the biggest mice en sea and who get the most out of life are kind who believe they owe something more to Caj cu, in which their busineaa ia locaUd thuu the payment of taxes, who believe they owe it what they can contribute of active aid in solving the prob lems that confront it, social, political, or commercial. Fortunately for the citiea of thla country, there are many able buainese men who, disregarding the ad l ice of the kind of buainesa man who eay that it may cauae them to lose some trade if they tako aides in a city's affairs, are devoting considers bie « their time and their talents to doing something for the general g«od of their city. And the number of such good buainesa men ia growing.—Law- rence (Kan.) Telegram.
