Manning Editor Subscription Price * (Strictly cash in advance) 1 year - $1.50 b months ; 3 months *o| Entered at the post office at Williamston, N. C J as second-class matter under the act of March 3, | 1879. . • . . Address all coimnunications to The Enterprise i THE POOR-MAN AND THE UNIVERSITIES Mr. Fort's paper, the Dearborn In- , dependent, has an article in a recent tMue headed, "Should the Poor Have Children," which goes on to say: "The very interesting president of the 'University of Michigan is report- Mi in the press to favor, among other things, the decrease of children in the families of the poor. He sayß that in other families the deliberate limi tation of offspring is already prac ticed. It is not a new proposal, but somehow it fails to lose, even with excessive repetition, its power to nau seate the reason It is always the poor! Yet nobody defines the poor. The poor are those who live in the back street. But the boys of the back street usually become the bosses of > the boys raised in the front street, fifteen years hence, and the girls are likely to be the wives and mothers of e race virile enough to save the coun try from the shrinkage in morals atid energy that will come upon it through "limited families." For selfishness is the great immorality. "Where are the poor? And what have the other classes, who can give their children "all the advantages, " to promise for tomorrow? The poor of yesterday are in the seats of power today, and the families of-yesterday that "had all the advantages" are go ing to seed. ' It may be something in a boy's favor that he has to go to work at fifteen ( if the Constitution of the United States continues to permit him that much liberty) and thus es cape the University, which more than any industrial system molds men down to robots. Forbidden alt the "advan tages," he may have a chance to make MB way in life. "It may be possible one day to com pel the poor to cease having childrfti, but it is greatly to be hoped that no law will be proposed to compel the other classes to make up the defic iency. For the impression one gains from all this talk about limitation is that those who deliberately effect it are thereby conferring great benefit on the country. Those who can be brought into that camp do well by so ciety in leaving no descendants. Mean time the "school of hard knocks" will continue to have the moat distinguish ed sons and daughters." Moat of the article is filled with rack-bottom truth. Yet a few shots are taken at the university man, who he denominates aa "robots."

CASH—OR TERMS IF DESIRED i » -MEL ' teem, from the fellows like Mr. Ford, •he late Mr. Duke, and many others, who have risen to that point where they could sway the world by money and its power, after all display more oi less contempt for real men who make nations, most of whom come Jrom the universities. Yet Mr. 1-ord would have boys leave school at I£> I and enter the factory so he may have the advantage of making his way in life. I. After all, if Mr. Ford wants to do u big thing lor the people, let him drop the price of Fords and not charge a price that is exiiorbitant and is rap idly unbalancing the business condi tions of the whole country. It seems as if many folks never read the Word, "What doth it profit j. man to grab the whole world and i , 1 then have to stop making money: Mr. Ford goes further in his "Mr. Ford's Page," and says, "no one can have anything that others have; one can only have jus own; and one's own Is the product of one's ingenuity and i nergy combined. This is a plain defense for MrJ Ford, but it is both unfair and un-j true. Mr. Ford would have the world believe that he is more powerful in genius and energy than others. Cer tainly, he has lots of both; yet there re thousands of Ford riders today that have just as much of both genius and energy as Mr. Ford, but they have not been able to coin it into u monop-. oly. The power of monopoly is what makes Mr. Ford rich, but every man can not enjoy that privilege. Mr. Ford should realize this, and outgrow any spirit dt littleness and selfishness. It seems to be man's goal to squeeze riches out of the masses when they are young only to give it away in , old age, apparently for the purpose i of appeasing the wrath of God.

Licensed Storage Men and Wholesale Dealers in Peanuts Our Charges Are Reasonable, And Our Ad » vances Are Liberal — | V\ HY WE HAVEN'T GOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY Some mathematicians are troubling themselves to find out what goes .with bo much money. They say the income for the year has been pretty good, since we produced good crops of near ly every kind; tobacco, cotton, pea nuts, the leading crops, going above the average. They say that the coun ty has received more than P,000,000 for tobacco already, which would I seem to revive things wonderfully. I Wliile the cotton prices are not so I good, yet the crop of the county will bring more than a million dollars, and the fine peanut crop will bring as much as the cotton crop. All this money would seem to cre ate a prosperous condition among the people, yet such does not seem to be true. Some folks say we have- too- many ways to spend money now, lots of " things that we did not have in the 1 earlier days- A few of them would ' cause us to wonder how we are even r 666 , •- Is a prescription for , COLDS, GRIPPE, FLU, DENGUE BILIOUS FEVER AND MALARIA mar It Kills the Germs 16 THE ENTERPRISE WIIXIAMSTON.
