C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise THE CO-OPS' GREATEST ENEMY IS IN THEIR OWN CAMP The Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association has" faced a heavy fight thif week before Judge Isaac 14. Meekins in Federal court at Kaleigh. While the fight apparently is a con flict between certain members of the association and some of its office! s that is not where the fight really * comes from. It is nothing niori' than a fijfht to kill a principle that would mean great general prosperity by dis tributing the products of labor among the masses rather than in the hands of the classes. Much money has been spent, both American and European, to destroy any principle of handling farm products that the farmers might wish to establish. The main trouble so far is that so few people manufacture tobacco that they found no trouble in discriminat ing against the farmer that was in the organization, because they could "pet large quantities outside lhey paid good prices for the tobacco out side and poor prices for the tobacco in the organization. Of course, this tended to dissatisfj the member grower, One of the main trobules with the association was that it was composed of 90,000 men, and more than halt of them were deserters. They betray ed their contracts and failed to fight for their rights. The result was a bout the same as if half of the sol diers in a charging army were to run to the camps of the enemy. If Wash ington's army had been too faint hearted at the battle of Brandywine to suffer bleeding feet, hunger, and other hardships, we today would be without liberty and freedom. If the tobacco grower had stood as manfully as their ancestry, they would have just as surely won. Certainly not without losses and crosses, but victory would have crowned their labors. Another trouble the tobacco asso ciation has encountered was its ig norance. The members did not know the tobacco business beyond the ware house floor. When it came to carry ing the product on to the factory anil to the consumer, he was entirely de pendent upon somebody else. In get ting such help it was necessary tc fet men who were right from tht camps of the enemy, the Big Com parties, which naturally always madi it easy for our enemies to know oui field. Certainly most of these mei were honest and true, yet enough wen otherwise to do the association irre parable harm. And the associatio: had no show to win in a fight whei many of their leaders were more ii love with the enemy than with them selves. Men who might be classe as "Cash" traitors. The man who said the farmer ca not organize because he has not gt sense enough may yet escape a fool - - iwwrT" 1 T ; v;~ Renew Your Healtl by Purification Any \phjsician will tell you tha "PirtacL Purification of the Systei !• Nature's Foundation of I'erfer Health."

(Adv 'f? if the question was asked, What is the trouble with the tobacco associa tion ? the answer could be nothing more than disloyal members and un faithful leadership Most of the trou ble with the members is suspkicWi and ignorance, the principal trouble with the leader is dishonesty.

The courts have held that >-here a street ends on a wharf or run.t down "to the brink of a river, sound, (/r hay the town must put up a barricade, head wall, or something to prevent people who may be passing that A'ay from riding to their death. The case was passed on in the su preme court this week, confirming i judgment holding the city of New Bern liable for sß,ooo damages for the death of a man named Mitchell, who drove an automobile into the Trent Kiver and was drowned. Of course, jt is a good law, because the supreme court says it iB . Hut something ought to be done to mak' wild drivers take all the risk, and men should handle' cars with more care. i Of course, strangers who do not know that streets cud abruptly might get so far they could not stop their cars in time and suffer.
