THE ENTERPRISE
RED CROSS AT WORK
The North Carolina As
sociation will place on sale this year
ten million Tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, which s will sell for one cent
each, the receipts to be used in pro
viding funds for the care and pre
vention of tuberculosis. The seals
will be on sale from Thanksgiving
Day until Christmas.
In securing the services of Miss
Vella M. Andrews, Williamston, has
an able director for the local sale
and funds are assured for the care
of a number of needy cases of tuber
culosis who would otherwise die.
Ten million is a large number of
seals. Placed end to end they would
reach from Asheville to Raleigh and
the receipts from each half mile sold
would provide four months treatment
in the best sanatorium in the State.
This number is an allotment of five for
each person in "North Carolina but
we can best judge our interest in
humanity by the number of yards
we buy.
A case-has Just been called to the
attention of the Association where
the seals gave relief to a family in
Beaufort county in a rather unique
way.
The Superintendent of Public Wel
fare, who is also Chairman for th«-
sale of seals was called in to see
a boy who was undernourished and
weakly and had been unable to keep
up with his school classes. An allot
ment was made from the Seal fund
of $5.00 for the purchase of milk but
this amount was insufficient. The
Superintendent then made t.he sug
gestion that the father purchase a
cow on the installment plan und he
.vould continue the $5.00 allowance to
ipply on-t he purchase price. The cow
AIIS paid for in this way in six
months and the family given an nde
,|Ug£e supply of milk. The hoy is
now properly nourished anil making
;ood progress in school. In this com
munity the cow is known as the Christ
mas Seal Cow",

CONCERNING' TAXES}
1 axes came with and are necessary !
to the organization t>f theh untan race
for'beneficial purposes -for the gen
eral welfare.
Taxation means cooperation in pur
chasing those things which all the
people need and can enjoy in com
mon.
Taxation is a neighborliness put on
a bsuiness basis; it means that one
hundred fathers acting in a neigh
borly cooperative spirit can provide
a good school for their children,
whoreas if each acted in a selfish se
clusive spirit not one of them could
provide a school for his child.
Wotwithstanding this, the subject
of taxation is, to say the least, an
unpleasant one. The habit of kick
ing about taxes seems to be as old
as the race itself. The earliest re
cords of mankind contain frequent
complaints against high taxes, and
so does the morning paper, neverthe
less we still have the taxes to pay.
Economic science has yet to discover
a remedy for this general evil.
During 364 days in every year,
whon we pay our money out, we get
something back over the counter in
return which we can see and feel, and
on the 865 th day when we walk into
the tax collector's office and deliver
our hard-earned cash it seems hard to
receive in return only a small slip
of paper marked "Paid".
Now what is this slip of paper? i
It is an annual pass over 6,000 miles 1
of splendid highway.
It is a card entitling your children '
to tuition in a well-equipped health I
ful and efficient school. I
It is a receipt ffiven you by your '
government!, guaranteeing you pro 1
teetion fur fboth life and property, i
But it iti said that taxes are too i
high. Let's see about that. :
Ibe State of North Carolina neither 1
levies nor collects a cent of taxes i
upon your or my property, real or I
personal, as a direct property tax. I
Che counties of the State however, '■
ilo levy such a tax. I
Now there mi- counties in the State
being administered by Demoncrats, I
and these are counties in the State
administered by Republicans. Demo
cratic county commissioners fix the
tax rate for Democratic counties; Re
publican county commissioners fix
the tax rate for Republican counties.
The r tax rate in the 71 Demo
cratic e les of the State is Bft 7-Hi
cents on'el cry hundi'ed dollars worth
of property taxer. In the 20 Repub
lican counties the average tax rate
is $1.02 on every hundred dollars
worth of property taxed- a differ
ence in favor of the Democratic coun
ties of more than 16 cents on every
hundred dollars property taxed.
Obviously, Republicans prefer their
taxes over 10 per cent higher than
do Democrats. So, then, those who
prefer low taxes should live in Demo
cratic counties. The cheapest way to
do this is to vote the Democratic tick
et; it is cheaper than moving to a
Democratic county. Make yosr coun
ty Democratic and save money. i

k MARTIN COUNTY MAN BAYB
WILLIAMSTON MARKET AS
GOOD AS ANY ANYWIIERB
Mr. F. A. Taylor, a tobacco plant
er of Martin county in Poplar Point
Township brought a load of tobacco
here last week that he had carried
to Robersonville and got twelve cents
for it per pound and had turned tha
tag. He brought it to Williamtion
later on in the week and received
thirty four cents for it on the Roa
noke and Dixie Warehouse floors and
he said that he thought that was as
good as he would have received any*
where. The Williamston market was
a little off in the recent statistics
but it was owing to the grade of to
bacco that was being placed on it at
that time but it is receiving a better
grade now and the price is equally
as good as you will get anywhere.
There has been another Imperial man
placed on the market so they now
have two and they are going to help
keep the Williamston market up to
the standard set anywhere in East
ern Carolina.
Time to Plant Cover Crops
Thert iu still somo time left in
which fall and winter cover crops can
be- gown this ytsur. Wats and rye
sown between now and the 15th of
I November should germinate and make
sufficient growth between then and
spring to make it a profitable under
taking.
If sown on land that would other
wise be left bare, they will prevent
the top soil from being washed away
by the winter and spring rains; will
stop the excessive leaching away of
the available plant food that is al
ready in the soil and transform it
into a condition available for next
year's crop when turned back into
the soil; they will furnish active hu
mus or organic matter to help feed
the following crops and hold water
for the future crops nu'eds. If it ia
so desired, these crops may also be
grazed ,the winter and early
spring with profit to the farmer and
little or no damage to the crop.
Fertilize These Cover Crops
All farmers know tho value of fer
tilizers for the profitable production
of money crops. In order for the cov
er crops sown to make a larger
growth, it is recommended that from
200 to 300 pounds of a fertilizer be
used analyzing about 8 per cent
phosphoric acid, .1 to 4 per cent am
monia and around 2 per cent potash.
As the weight of these cover crops
is increased, the amount of grazing
furnished will be greater; the water
holding capacity of the soil will be
enlarged; the active humus of the
soil will he larger; and a profitable
increase in the yield of the following
crops may be expected.
