Manning Editor Subscription Price (Strictly cash in advance) 1 year -r— * $L g5 6 months 3 months r * Entered at the post office at Williamston, N. C. as second-class matter under the act ol March 3, 1g79 Address all communications to The Enterprise DEMANDING BEST OF EVERY THING EXCEPT BOOKS The world is demanding the best - of everything except books. Better food is demanded by nil peo ple; such food as will build up and strengthen every faculty in the human body. Doctors and scientific men are telling the mother just how to feed the baby; they are telling how to feed and nourish the school boys and fcirls, and then thtfTgo on through the prime of manhood and down through old age with instructions of what to eat and how to eat it to make the very best flesh and-blood. This has saved And made many good men and women. We'are Also demanding the best 111 clothing- It must not only be beauti ful but sanitary and sale. Of course, we want and demand the best of every thing that tends to bodily comforts and safety. However, we are missing one thii'K of perhaps equal, if not greater, im portance. We are overlooking the power of the printed page and its ef fect upon human character. How are we thinking, and what is making us think , It is what we see, hear, and read. It seems that just as we have morbid appetites to eat>good things, we in like proportion hUve a We want ive instead of the solid and -substan tial. A stream of pernicious literature is sweeping over the land, and young people are reading stuc, the whole ten dency of which is to destroy manhood and ruin womanhood. It is hard to speak of it with prop er composure. It weakens moral strength; it encourages immorality by throwing around vice a glamor of fic titious beauty. . .. A certain writer says, "There is a notion that 'realism' is the thing now, and that it makes literature worth while. Men and women are straining every nerve to tell young men and women all there is to be told about sex matters. Some book stands are crowded with books and magazines that give us pictures of the under world. Decent people surely rise from NOTICE ' J *-» 1 Registration Books Open All persons who are not registered and qualified to vote will have to register to en able them to vote in the June primary, and the registration books for Williamston Township are now open at the store of the Culpepper Hardware Co. v •- - Books close May 22nd. John L. Hassell REGISTRAR the reading of 'purpose' novel and sex exploitations not simply with a bad taste in their mouths, but with a feel ing that they ought to wash their mouths before they go in the presence of decent people." There are those who claim that such literature,, deals with certain phases ol life and hence is necessary. The gar bage can and the sewage drain are also essential; for the piirpose of dis posing of the bad things, however, and not for the purpose of eating in the garbage can nor sleeping in tli>' gutter. So, we should not feed the mind and heart on the things that are poison and unclean to our character. There are many young men behind prison bars who have nothing to I blame except indecent literature. There are also just as many young women floating around the oountry not only drifting down but pulling thousands down with them —simply furnishing grist for poorhouses, hos pitals and jails, with pernicious liter ature solely to blame for their con didtion.

NC-16S filthy and degrading literature and even applaud at vulgar scenes and call them works of art. Then why are we so foolish as to wonder why it is that crime is rampant and lust and degen eracy is in the saddle? The remedy is to place good litera ture into our homes and schools and libraries. WHAT THE SINNER KNOWS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY Among the strangest things known to the mind's imagination is the a bundance of knowledge that the sinner has of Christianity and the big line of advice he has of how to run the church. All you have to°do to find out about these things is to ask Satan. He knows about purity of life and wKat is best for the people. The "devil was the greatest enemy— in fact, tht only enemy—Jesus found. He tried to tempt Jestfs and render His mission of mercy, love and grace useless to man. He even went far enough on one occasion to promise to surrender everything to Jesus if He would only worajiip him. We notice lots of that today— Man's great desire to be "It is I" be fore men.
