THE ENTERPRISE Published Every Tuesday and Friday by the ENTERPRISE PUBLISHING COMPANY Williamston, North Carolina W. C. Manning , Editor Subscription Price (Strictly cash in advance) , 1 year - ---• sl-50 6 months - -80 8 months 45 Entered at the post office at Williamston, N:C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3. 1879. Address all communications to The Enterprise Martin Cofinty's good reputation, is. shown in the fact that it has been chosen as a good field for a new bank. When good business men from other sections come into our midst and sub scribe every cent of the capital stock for a new bank, it shows the good faith that others have in our section and our people. Martin County had the misfortune to lose five banks during the terrible slump following the war, which to a la'i'ge extent set our financial progress backwards. We have since had to de pend on only five banks in the entire county to keep our financial activities in motion. A new bank in Williamston will not only be a boon to the financial and School Days J For three months hundreds of thou- j sands of school 'children have gone j .here and there spetiding their vaca- i l(ons in many ways; some at work, t seme' at play; -all forgetful of the r duties and responsibilities of life. « With the tokens of fall presenting themselves in the very 'winds and t clouds, and the shortening of th«' i days; and the next calendar sheet, I September, in full view, reminds us i that vacation days are nearly over. I The schools are announcing their open t ing dates are being announced. It i is all so close at hand that we have i only a few more days of vacation oc cupation and then off to study for the , next year's race in life. , We find the mothers all preparing ' thes chool dresses and other things ' necessary for their children to stand in the modern row of school society, whether it be the high school at home or the college abroad, they all do every j thing possible to make their children the etjual of others. It has become necessary to spends ■ .large sum of money to educate a girl or a boy these days. The four-years college course in the average North Carolina college is costing more today than all of the property of the average North Caro lina family was. worth twenty-five j_ SICK HEADACHE N« Pleanre, Say* Ohio Lady, to Go Placet, Till Sho Took Black-Draught Which Brought Relief.

MC-itt S • ' The New Bank i ■ business activities of this Lection but i it will build u better sentiment in the minds of the people, thereby helping • the other banking institutions of the section, which have stood by the in : terest of the section as best they could under the heavy strain that has been felt by every kind of busi ness in this section for several years. We bid -the new bank a hearty wel coce, and with the abundance of in come which our section produces from its splendid crops each year the suc cess of the bank is assured. Other people wishing to find a good location for a safe business will do well to follow the new bank to the Williamston section. Almost Here >ears ago. Yet the educated man can pay it all back with interest in a \ery short time, because the oppor tunities for educated people are so much greater than for the uneducat ed. The country is perhaps paying enough cash for educating the youth of today, but we are failing to get behind the great educational move ment and impress the great student body of the greatness of the oppor tunities which lie before them. They should know that the school bell is always calling "Come up higher." If we have used our vacation in a jirofitable Way we should rejoice, but we should remember the duties we l ave to face during the coining school year. If we could only know what a short time there is allotted for us to get an education and how badly we will need it in later life we would be more en eigetic in our school days and our school vacations.

Nevertheless, there is a large annual crop of bumed children. All kinds of accidents seem to occur among children, evfen' though new safety devices are invented almost daily. The United States Bureau of Mines is backing a campaign to save chil dren from blowing off their fingers, hands, arms, and legs, and otherwise disfiguring themselves, with blasting caps. Strange as it may seem sev eral hundred children are injured each year by the explosion of these caps. One "would naturally suppose that workme\i and others handling explo sives woul«Mock up or hide the caps co that Xhej\would not menace hu man life. Nevertheless for some in explainable reason blasting caps are constantly being picked up by chil dren around mines, quarries, road work, or in fields where agricultural Masting is done. Children ' seem to have a strange fascination for these loose little explosive devils, and be- Morality an Some people say there is not a full ness of happiness in the land these days. They may be right, though it is probably a pessimistic view. Some others say there is not as much morality in the country as there once was. We believe this is also the of the pessimist. If both claims should be proved true, the state of Bishop Mouzon in a recent address that "the true foun dation of all happiness is morality, and all morality is founded upon re ligion.

G cause they are bright, shiny, and mys terious, the youngsters crack at the caps with hammers, pick at them with pins, or try lighted matches on them. And the caps being filled with fulminate mercury; raises merry Ned when subjected to such frivolous' methods. It all seems like another case where "curiosity killed a cat." Children are not the only ones who get hurt by these caps, for despite the thousands of accidents in the past many workmen engaged as blasters continue to bite the caps on the fuse —and they get away with it for a while. But some day the business end of the little "doo-dad" blows up, carrying with it bunches of teeth and fragments of bone and flesh. If the victim lives he will not do it again. So a lot of don'ts have been put out from Washington. They tell the story of many strange accidents and carry this advice: "Don't carry caps eround in your pockets. Don't take them home with you. Don't leave them where children can get them. Don't monkey with them." d Happiness If the germ of immorality has j grown to such an extent that it has undermined our faith in each other, then we may expect unhappiness. Certainly it is necessary that we should have faith in each other to make us believe in each other. It is an unhappy people that reaches that point where they have no confidence. It is quite often that the fellow that has no confidence in others is carry ing around a very low type of char acter himself. Things To hink About By JAMES D. TAYLOR TELL THEM ABOUT IT NOW ' 1 Recently a fellow employee of min£ died. Soon after his many friends heard they began to send flowers and go in person to pay their respects. Many beautiful words were said about the one who had passed pway. All these things he was worthy cl, bat while he lived they were ab sent. It was now too late for the flowers that he could not see and the beautiful words that he could not heat What a pity it is we so rften fail to express our affection until after our friends are gone. Such is the way of men. Edgar Allen Poe's greatness was not known by many until after he died. Few told him of their affection. Now his % fame is world wide. Preparations are now going for ward for a memorial in honor of Rev. L. L. Langstroth, at Medina, Ohio, September 21, 1926. Rev. Lang stroth's inventions are credited by bee keepers with having revolution ized the industry. He wrote the first textbook on bee keeping in this coun try, in 1853. He is now being hon ored. Had he not lived, the bee in dustry probably would not be what I it is today. But the sad part of it I all, he died at the age of 85, obscure and penniless. Hia initiative, cour age, and proficiency was not fully appreciated until long after he had ! gone. •' .
