Address all communications to The Enterprise We all seem to love royalty or we are generous in our entertainment of strangers, judging from the gorgeous reception we are-extending Queen Marie, of Roumania. It is after all the proper thing to be generous and kind to all guests, whether they be kings, queens, or peasants. And while we are honoring the crowned heads of that little country, we are establishing a closer friendship with her people.' GOOD TIMES VS. BAD TIMES We seem to have a hung jury on the case of Good Times vs. Bad Times. Coolidge and his Congress have plead their good times case at great length. They have spread propa ganda until every mar. has heard their ■cry of good times. On the otljer hand, there goes up the cry that times are tight and people can not their bills and are having to' be close* out. So the members of the great pub he jury are still pondering the case and are unable to agree on a verdict. Mr. Ford, Mr. Edison, Mr. General Motors, Mr. Railroad, Mr. Fertilizer, Mr. General Electric, Mr. Coco-Cola, Mr. Shoemaker all contend that times tiro, good, and very good, which they claim they are proving by Mr. Stan dard Oil, They swear times are good nnd that they will never give up. Mr. Cotton Grower, Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Corn Planter, and a hundred mil lion other jurors say they have a hard time paying taxes and rent and buy their children bread, and th.it they know times are hard. They ar- guc that there is plenty and to spare, 1 that with equal opportunities to all and governmental burdens evenly dis tributed, there would "be no ground for disagreement. They say that the 1 few big fellows have p;ot too much good times, and they have too much of the bad times. That only a few folks have got 90 per cent of the wealth and a lot of folks have only 10 per cent of the wealth. ■ The country can not be happy when p. few folks rule all the wealth, Our laws make it possible to form great j monopolies; those owning them think we have good time.-?. The monopolized know we have hard times. EXCELLENT FACILITIES FOR STORING COTTON Ship To WINBORNE & CO.

Now, it has moved from these and is found on the high ' J wuys. Once you get tired of run . ning for your life, just join the army, navy, or see the manager of the pow ! der find it all peaceful, and the danger connected is negli gible. With the number of drunks driving automobiles on the highways of North Carolina, one might just as well go into battle, for there at least the (lunger is confined £o certain areas. On the highway it is different; you might get run over two miles from h re or it might be miles from here. The number trying to mix the two fluids, gasoline and li ' quor, is ever increasing. The laws, ' while they have -"been of great aid, ■ have not made for an ideal situation."' With this ever-increasing number of drunks, the only thing left to do is to take your hat and run for shelter. All this talk about removing road side signs should be hushed until the roads themselves are cleared of a dunger far more serious than the signs can ever hope to be. ELECTION TIME The election to be held all over the country next week will be an attrac tion to thousands of American citi zens. Some will be hotly contested, while others will pass with little at tention paid them. The methods of voting have been of great fconcern. learned men have ' I failed to invent a system by which "honest" voting may re ulf. Too many conclusions are drawn in as many cases, too many outcomes are disput eu, and should there be a close elec tion and one conducted honestly throughout, the defeated.j>arty always v.ith' apparent ease finds some cause t" object. But in spite of all, we, as American citizens, should take it up on ourselves to visit the polls on elec tion day and cast a vote. No matter what the issue is at elec tion, whether it be for prohibition, against prohibition, or what not, vot ing is the basis and life of our gov- Things 1 o hink About By JAMES D. TAYLOR STORMS OF LIFE A little more than 30 yearß ago a group of enthusiasts decided to build a handsome resort hotel near the sea in the State where I now reside. We are told that they were warned by the older settlers not to build so near the sea. For a long time no great storm had visited that beauti ful beach, and the group of enthusiasts could not see any danger. s S» the hotel was erected. They did not heed the warning. The following summer a grat storm came. Such a storm! The v/inds blew and mountains of water fell upon the beautiful hotel, and the morning found its wreckage. The foundation was not strong enough to stand the storm. So it is with the game of life. In the building of human foundations the (lunger ground should be avoided. This life is so full of storms. Each day we are building a stronger or weaker foundation. So often we go rushing madly about each day not thinking or preparing for that storm that may yet come. What a pity it is. There is nothing to worry about to morrow if each day we try to make the walls just a little stronger. There will be the little storms in life, but if we have been building according to 'he rules of the Master Builder, just n little talk and a little walk with Him will quickly extinguish the marks cf the storm. ernment, and we should look on the every vote cast as an addition to a bigger and better foundation of Amer ican government.
