Will Rogers says the equator is the
limit morally.' And would it hurt to
briar the limit nearer home?
Imagine the bitter disappointment
experienced by Will Rogers, when he
was looking" over all the exhibits in
the East Carolina Exposition, and
failed to see one leaf of tobacco ex
hibited. He should remember that the
advertising is carried on by his com
pany telling all about how Bull Dur
ham is made, who smokes it, and so
on; and that the product in
state is little known except By the
farmer.
It strikes us that the job is not quite
complete when the schoolhouses close
their doors this early in the spring.
The finishing touch, if you will think
of it as such, has not been applied,
and it would seem that «imA«ie is
being cheated. And the whole affair
appears more tragic when we see what
, *
schools are closing and others remain
ing open. It seems unfair, and the
situation can be altered only at the
polls.
MARTIN PASSES UP GOOD AD
VERTISING OPPORTUNITY
"Martin County is not here," was
the answer to the question of where
is Martin County with her display.
Naturally, the many Martin County
visitors to the East Carolina Expo
sition at Greenville this week felt that
they had neglected themselves whe/
they looked around and saw such head
lines as "Made in Washington Coun
ty," and saw dozens of farm product.--,
many manufactured articles, such as
handles, boxes, in fact dozens of such'
things made by our little sister. Then
we shifted and looking west saw Edge
combe, where they were showing won
ders in progress.
Perhaps the Lenoir County exhibits
climaxe in progress. There were
shown not only the wide variety of
farm products common to Eastern
North Carolina, but dozens of things
manufactured, among them parlor fur
niture, heavy foundry products for use
in milling, farming, etc. Wood prod
ucts, mantels, doors, blinds; in fact,

TOBACCO TRUST AGAIN FAILS TO
BREAK ASSOCIATION
The Tobacco Trust again fell uown
■ when Judge Met kins refused to ap
' point a receiver for the Tobacco
! Growers Cooperative Association.
! There have been many heavy cam
paigns waged against the associa
tion, always by disgruntled members
' who stand very close to the big com
panies. y
In every court proceeding yet held
i the cloven foot baf shown so pluin
i that the court has .seen it without any
trouble.
' It is proof that truth crushed to
• earth will rise again, and while big
money from the trusts has flushed the
farmer and run him away from his
friends, y.»t the provisions of hia gov
ernment in givi.sg him courts of jus
tice has presei ed his rights. And
with the j rowing of knowledge among
' the masses, the people at large should
take courage tt .it there is a day not
so far in the distance in which labor
will chjo> a grr iter proportion of its
products.
The opponents of the tobacco asso
ciation huve had much to say against
some of the leaders or managers who
have drdawn good salaries and at the
same time, and under cover, in a way,
sold out to the enemy. Which is true.'
