Address all communications to 'ihe Enterprise "WHY SHERIFFS GO BEHIND" "Why sheriffs go beliind" was dis-, tussed by Judge iiarnhill in hi.-grand jurv charge Monday. The judge was, I very charitable in saying that in near- j ( ly every such case, there is no crimi i.al intent on the part of the sheriff, j and that the fault lies, in the care-; : i le-snes.- of the board of county com-, ! 1 missioners or in the mercy of the| -| ( -tieriff.— I Under our method of government, there is a point where business and mercy conflict. The law forces the Commissioners to tax," it forces the sheriff to collect, and it forces the in- 1 dividual to- pay. Uerlainly the board of commission ers does not.fancy fixing a tax deßt -un- any man; but knowing their duty . ii'l on account of the remoteness of 1 ;.y day and the payer they do not) come close up,to the main trouble.' . I The sheriff has another job. He ( faces the penniless widow or the tax , 1 payer with no money;-they are his j tood friends; they believe they can ) meet the obligation; they cry for H •mercy "and deliverance from the auc tion block. It take- a pretty, stern i .]{iness man to press a friend so iTr, and for that reason many people get bohind, here a lit* 1*- and there a ■ little. Certainly it is not good business, nr.d leads to trouble fur the man that follows it, yet few will fail. The sheriff then ha- to repoH back to the same board that made .the levy, inen just like himself; men of mercy. They permit m little .cairy-over. and nwj' get certain taxpayers behind with the result that »some, sheriff may get in trouble.-j, It is not always the case,as has re. cently occurred in Pitt County, whfch has been held up as the modi I coun ty of the State for business methods. We find a sheriff-embezsling nearly! J"'.o,K)o and his bondsmen having to . pay this amount. Being sheriff is a bad job; in fact, handling other folks' money is al ways a bad job, and ip a way 'places people in an embaras,slng position. . DEBT CANCELLATION Cancellation of the debts due-us "by foreign countries is a (juestion that has caused much talk since the war. It has been a mystery to the average person why the great hankers and bondholders of America favor the can cellation of the largest debts. *Most people regard the debts as honest and •legitimate; in fact, everybody seems to so regard them. Yet when we see the big interests favor cancellation, it makes us wonder what Is the cause. The reason is, however, very plain when we just think that England, France, Italy and other countries owe ♦he big banks and bondholders as well r.s our own American government. It r> happens that * the United States holds first lien against France and all the other countries, and the amonuts due are so large that the baWers' sec fnd papers are not very good. For that reason they want the debts due the government carcetled, then their claims will be good—just the same as when the holder of a first mortgage cancels his mortgage against an indi vidual, it makes the security of the holder of thas«cond mortgage good. If congress will propose the cancel - i latum of all debts due both public and ! private interests, then you will find ' the House of Morgan will get busy i and oppose it; ypt they would see our j country lose $15,000,000,000 in order | In make theirs secure. If all items due our government are I given the countries which owe them, ! then the boys who smoke cigarettes, | ti.e children who eat sugar, wear clothes, hats, and shoes, will ha\e to pay a high tax on them as long as they live in order that we can pay the $20,000,01K),000 we-owe. If we look long enough, we can eas ily see why big bondholders, high-up politicians, and an occasional leading lawyer declare' for debt forgiveness. j ADVANTAGE O.F SHORT SKIRTS The short skirt comes in great" fa ' Yor as' a life-saver from fire.

Now, Autumn time in the old North State U a time worth living for, With the squirrels a-cuttin' on every tree, And the dogs as anxious as they can] be, The 'possum and rabbit—the wild, turkey, too, Are just a-fattenin' foe me and you; 'Cause it's Autumn time in the Old North State; Come on, let's hurry, or we'll both be late. • Tobacco a-sellln', and the average is ' grand. I There's signs of prosperity on every hand. . The merchant and farmer, the bank er, too, r ' f Are feeling the Autumn same as me and you. They're busy and smilin' and on bus i iness bound, For the Autumn time has come a round. ( l . Oh, the Autumn time in the old North State ' Is a glorious time to see, i The lads and lassies, and old folks, too Are as happy as they can be; The trees in the forest are feelin' it, too, They're dressin' in scarlet for me and you, i And the Autumn's a callin'—l can scarcely wait To get Down Home, to the Old North State. —C. O. Pardo. from this cause in this day, due en ' tirely to the short skirt. In the days when skirts swept the ground and e'verything else around, , women were in danger every time they approached within a few feet of an open fire when the wind was blow ing. Thousands have'been burned to death from this cause. ' THE EtfTEKFUIfIK—WIIXIAMBTON. M. C Now that the skirt is a thing of > I shortness and tightness, it is seldom J that women are devoured' by flames * caused from dresses. After all, the short skirt has many virtues. It is certainly safer, it is ssner, and, so far as we know, just • as decent as the old ten-yard kind that ! swept streets, floors, and fettered and caused women to be burned. After nil the short skirt is all right. r , NOTICE OF SALE North Carolina, Martin County. / I Under and by virtue of an order of the superior court of Martin County . made in the special proceedings en j titled W.
