Cooperation Still the Need
It is with keen interest that wei
watch the cooperalin between mer
chant and warehouseman this season.
The meeting to be held by the
Chamber of Commerce f this ifternoon
will start the ball rolling, and we
have good reasons to believe that this
season will find warehouseman and
merchant both working to a common

County Home Entitled to More Consideration
For how long the Martin County
grand jury has reported on the con
ditions at the County Home, we do
not know. But outside of a few and
meagre necessities, we do know that
we have fallnn far short i'i doing
what is needed at the Home.
Taking into consideration the finan
cial condition of tur County,/ what
can be done to relieve the situation at
the Home. To build a new home is
certainly out of the question. To even
furnish the lew necessities is quite a
job when the strings to the county's
purse are stretched so taut that one
little jerk Will wreck it altogether.
But, the financial condition of our
county should not 6t> so ( far reaching
as to cause humanity to live in the
conditions in which our poor are new
living. Conditions that are inconceiv
able, that would shock the most hum
ble liver are to be found at our own]
County Home.
It is with stinging -shame that we
see the home in Nash county and the
one in Wilson county and then to
turn our thought;; toward our own
County Heme. When we look at tho;ie
tw model homes we wonder if they
were built through i he counties alone,
or was some thinking person outsido
Limiting the >1 *;-tli of .Mr. Tom
Lilley to that chsnuel where the medi
cal science has charge, we fitul one of
the moat outstanding happenings that
has ever been known to us. In a ctate
of iwuuiity Mr. Lilley shot himself,
the ball entering the brain and lodg
ing there, 64 days ago. Death was
expjeter 1 immediately, but the finjt
few days following the shooting lie
became stronger and at several times
insisted on getting up. This compared
to another case known to us, but at
this point Mr. Lilley's caee varied
from the other in that it became a
dragging one while in the o'her case
the person died a day OIJ two after
Time Only a Relative Meature
As we heard the sentence passed on
a man at the court house the other
day, the term struck us not in the
aease that the hands of a clock me«s
■ie the revolutions of the earth, the
noon or the stars but from the pas
aage of time aa it affect* the human
■tad. There goes a man to prison for

It is a big task and this only

An Unusual Case

stage Mr. Lill".v l>:gr.n to gradually
grow. wc;'!;ei. anil reached the point
where its. mysteries fat'ed into hor
rors and caused the innermost chords
cf sympathy to loosen in behalf of
his sufferings- The slightest cough
would force corruption from the whole
where the ball entered. About ten
days before his d-ia'h he became un
conscious, and in such a state his
condition reached the point where ii
dro) of water applied to his lips
would nil but strangl? him. In this
condition the poor fellow died Tues

measured by clocks, but by what we
do. Clocks are all right when we de
pend on them as such. But when we
start to measure our lives they are
useless. So if we are to measure our
lives correctly it will have to be by
mile posts in the sense of a good
deed today and another tomorrow.
Mileposts that will aid others in their
daily living are the ones that will re
cord time correctly.
