C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3, 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF THE HOME LOSING ITS GKll* Mr. R. S. Bullock, a merchant of Parmeie, says he is going to post a notice on the qoor of his store ad dressed to all thieves itnd robbers, n -ik ing them to come to his house for the key if they are going to get his goods anyway, as he does not want them to break in and damage the store. Mr. Bullock says there have been a large number of thefts in his town recently. The opinion prevails that youngsters in the section near-by are the of fenders. The home and the courthouse have each lost its grip on the great task it should perform. It is quite certain if the home would emphasize the principles of right a little stronger, the courts would have less to do; and while the courts pro pose to do the proper thing and pun-. ish crime, it is quite certain that there are many cases in court in whieh full justice is never done. The public seems to be afraid to stand up and demand the due execu tion of the law, giving criminal* full opportunity to have a free hand to rob and steal, apparently at will. It is hard thing to get all the people to do right; yet much improve ment will come if better impressions are made arhorae and heavier punish- ; ment given in\the courthouse. All this talk about light punish ments being.as good as heavy has removed the fear from the average' criminal, and for that reason they act more freely. A WALK THROUGH THE CITY OF THE l»KAI) "To the sacred memory of" is, from the appearance of the Williamston public cemetery, a faded phrase. There is some interest to be found in a quiet walk through the Willamston grave yard alone just before the sun begins to hide behind the western hill The only sign of life is just a few rose bushes, planted by human hands, and a few vases of flowers. Of the hundreds of families whose , departed ones are buried there, there are about a half doxen plots that are being well cared for, with flowers on them and the weeds and briars cleared away. These plot show up to good advantage in the wilderness of neg lect that surrounds them.

D. STALLS Wiffiamston North Carolina _p t A few families have individual fences and have marked the graves with suitable stones. But a large ma jority of the graves present exactly the same appearance and receive the same care that the llndian tribes did J which occupied this section hundreds { of years ago. Nothing is left to show 1 signs of the place where the depart- ed friend or loved one lies except a sunken spot in the ground. No rec ords are niake or kept; no markers placed, and they are soon forgotten. Certainly it would do no good to make lavish expenditures in merjiory of the i dead; yet with the pride of freedom 1 that we so louily boast of, we might at least do a little something to make the burial places of our forefathers a little more presentable. Yet on the i resurrection day God will know them j all and call each by name if there is ( ' no marker nor flower to mark the : spot. The only danger is that somf j of those who have been neglected will not be counted worthy to be called up higher. Jt is not so sad to walk through this city of the dead even alone. We find among them some of the leaders of , the business, social, and religious life, 1 men who managed the affairs during the past century; we remember the - good things they did; their acts of .bravery and leadership in both war | and peace. They are nrffr harinfesil l and quietly sleeping until the final call i shall come .when the sheeted dead ; shall rise and meet their l/ird and I Master. it may be asked whose business it_ is to look after the Williamston grave f yard. We can not answer. So far as J we know, the town has not spent 30 i cents on it in 25 years. i It seems that the town should pur chase more ground and lay out a cem i etery and keep it in good shape. VALUABLE THINGS By James 1). Taylor There are many things that are val uable other than diamonds and gold and silver. A good friend is of course the most valuable of all. Then there are the smaller things that mean so much, riiave a friend "wllo considers i his Scrap book one of his most price- I less possessions, containing interesting I clippings and here and there a.snap - shot with notes telling anew of pleas ant times of the past. Then there are 'mm »■ . - . I our fayored books. The right kind of books are invaluable.

There are those who have been educated along through the study of books far from schools and colleges. In our larger cities books of all kinds are obtainable without coat.
