Adrerlleere Will Fia4 Oar Col- MUtt a Latchkey to Over 1600 ■•■• aof Martia County. VOLUME XXIX—NUMBER 77 May Establish Branch Guano Factory Here Local Gtizen in Balti more In Interest of Project Although no definite information can be had, it is understood that plans are now under way for the establish ment of a fertilizer plant here. Mr. D. D. Stalls is in Baltimore this week discussing the undertaking with inter ested parties of that city. Up until late last night, nothing was heard from Mr. Stalls in regard to the suc cess of his trip there, but it iB be lieved that chances for the ereetion of a fertilizer plant here are most fa vorable. The project has behind it some of Williams ton's most influential and sue cessful business men, and they are very much interested in such a project Yv hile they have made no definite stau rr.snts, it is understood they believe the plans will meet the approval outside parties and that a factory will be located here. Should the project materialize, the plant will be erected on the banks of the Roanoke about where the mill of the old cooperage company once stood. Once the factory is put in operation the spur track of the Atlantic Coast Line will be repaired, making the plant accessible by boih rail and wa ter. The location of the plant here would effect a great saving, since fertilizer in bulk could be shipped here by wa ter, mixed, and then distributed to many points in this section by both rail and water. According to those in touch with the present workings of the project, a definite announcement as to the suc cess or failure of it can be made with in the next few days. Mr. Stalls left here Wednesday ' morning, and since his arrival in Bal timore he has been going over the proposed plant with officials interest ed in big fertilizer plants in that city.

The latest offi cial estimates Indicate that 839,000,- 000 bushels of wheat will be produced this year, and it is figured that 62 one-pound loaves of bread can be ob tained from every bushel of wheat. Of the total estlmsted output 026,000,000 bushel* were produced by winter wheat growers and 212,000,000 bushels by spring wheat growers lu the Northwest Last year the winter wheat production was 306,000,000 Regular Meet Woman's Club Held Wednesday; Home Talent Musical On December 2 ! The Woman's Club held a very good meeting Wednesday afternoon, and although there was not a repre- I sentative crowd present, there was a , fcood deal of interest manifested by those present in the different phases of work being done. The program for the afternoon was especially interesting. Mrs. J. G. Siaton made a short talk on "Good Citizenship," which was very fine, and during the short time allotted her gave in clear and concise terms the requirements of a good citizen. iihe was followed by Mayor Coburn, who told the women of the financial condition of the town and then an swered questions that were asked a bout the different departments of the town's organization. He was very clear in his explanations about how the town's money is being spent and tnose present were greatly benefited by'his remarks. The usual business program was carried out, and three departments re ported, the fine arts, Mrs. Warren Biggs, chairman; the American home, Mrs. J. W. Andrews, chairman; and the welfare, Mrs. Erah Cobb, chair man. Organization of another is be ing perfect, the American Citizenship Department. > The welfare department has out lined its work for the coming year, and it main object will be to build up' the undernourished children of the town. The work will be done through the school, taking one grade at a time. The charity committee will sell Christmas seals, 76 per cent of th« proceeds to go to ths work of the welfare department and the other 2b per cent to go to the State tubercu lar fund. The charity committee re ported other work done which shows that it is doing exceedingly good work under the direction of its chair man, Mrs. Henry Harrison. The other committee reports detail ed plans for the year's work and were very good, the finance committee planning a home talent musicale for December 2nd. The building committee, of which Mrs. SUton is chairman, reported! that the work on the building is be ; ing done on a little more extensive scale than was originally planned, : but it was considered the best thing to fix the rooms as they should be while they are at work, and this re port was accepted by the member ship. 11 1,1 ■ 1 ■' l ■ # Kiwanis Club Held Meeting Wednesday The Kiwanis Club came out anew Wednesday after misaing two meet-. ings on account of torn-up quarter*. The vacation had only warmed the members up Instead of weaning them from the Kiwanis spirit. The club discussed the rebuilding of the telephone plant here. The Car olina Telephone A Telegraph Co. has completed the outside equipment and are now about ready to either rebuild the present office equipment and con tinue the magneto system with the same charges of $2 and |3 per month, respectively, or whether they will build a common-battery plant and raise the price to (2.26 and 93.60 for residences and business, respec Wely, for single party line service, and |1.76 and $3.00 for duplex line serv ice. People of the town generally feel that they should have the improved type of beard, which seemed abo to be the sentiment it the club mem bers.

Prices are not as high as s yesr ago, but the crop prob ably will bring growers more than s billion dollars. Many Fakes Seek Charity List of Organizations Not Entitled To Support Many fakes are passing through the towns and country every day beg ging for what they represent as chari table purposes. The Pitt County Public Welfare Superintendent has rendered a great public service to his people by corn- Tiling a list of organiiations and in dividuals who have been soliciting funds in this section and who have been refused license to solicit funds by the State board of public welfare, and warning his people against these iiuposters. We are glad to pass the libt on to Martin County folks. Mr. 11. A. Pope, of our county welfare department handed us the following arlicle which he received from the i itt County officer; "From time to time representatives of charitable organisation* cotoe into the county soliciting funds.

Many Non-Standard Teachers in State The State board of education says there are 3,116 school teachers in. North Carolina who have not received as much as a high-school education. However, remarkable progress is be ing made in reducing the number of non-standard teachers. 1019-20 one half of the school teachers of the State were classed a* non-standard; that la, they did not possess the equiv alent of a high school education. In 1926-26 only 18.61 per cent of our public school teachers were classed as non-standard. Two thirds of them are negro teachers, one third of them are white, and all but, 102 teach in rural districts—further evidence that the rural children of the State receive the short end of the deal, education ally. _ , i obacco Market Will Resume Sales Monday The local tobaoro market will resume jt B ul«t Monday after closing down for tie holidays yeoterdsy sad tod#}.

The Enterprise Sunday vSchool Lesson & Brief r ——— Nov. 28—"Gideon and the Three Hundred".—Judges 7: 1-28. fc- 4 BY £• H. DICKEY A task to be done, the manner of 1 its doing and its eventual perform ance—this is our lesson. The task to be doqe was the de l.vering of the Midianites into the hands of Gideon and )us men. There is always something challenging a bout an undertaking which is fraught with either uncertainty or danger. It whets the appetite. It also sifts out the souls of men. The surprising thing here is that Gideon had too many men. When lias modern army reported too many soldiers. Yet, qute likely many a general has had too many—would have been better off with fewer, bet ter drilled and trained. Be that as it may, Gideon, by a process of selec tion, kept reducing his army until there were but tjir«te. hundred left. With these few men he was to per form what a great army might have failed at doing. Possibly there is something for us to leran here— numbers do not always count. Prep aiation is what wins victories. We need not be in too big a hurry, for, in due season we shall reap if we faint not. Hear Gideon's command: "Look on me and do likewise * * * as I do, so shall ye do". Gideon's command, then, was his own example. And that's what the world needs today—not so many harsh commands, but noble ex amples. Even our young people—what tliev need is not criticisms but ex amples. Gideon but showed his men what was to be done and then lead them in the dointf of it. The minister, before he can get his people to per form, must first perform himself. He has no right to send out the collec tion plate with a prayer until he firet, himself, has given. Neither do the deacons have anjT right to take the pla'e to you until they have first dropped into it their own offerings. Example, example, example—this is what the world is asking for! In verse 21 in this lesson is an other hifh secret of the victory; bear P: "And they stood every man I in his place " This means that every man has a place. And many times his place can not be filled by some one et«e. Tf he fails, the line cracks here. But Gideon had an army so proficient that each one knew where his place was and was in it, and di«charged the pnr'icular duty that had been as signed him and did it when it was to be done. One can close one's eyes and pic ture a modem church like that—a church in which every Individual member stands in his own place. I say that one can pic'ure it, but who can really see It? This, though, is not an impossible situation. It could be done. The Scrip tures make it ever so clear that there are a diversPy of gifts—alt men are gifted in some way. One can preach, | another can teach, another can pray, { sing, be given to hospPalltv—a thousand things to be done. Wouldn't It be glorious church of which it could be said of Hs members that every man stood in Ms place T Such a church would always be having converts, there would be no disgruntled members, the treasury would always be filled, the needy would be looked after and the Great Commission would be carried out Enough such churches would speedily bring the Victory—the Kingdom. Mr. James E. Griffin, who haa been in the bookkeeping department of the Farmers Warehouse, left yesterday for Greenville, Tennessee, where he will be connected with, a warhouses during the winter. Less Hay on Cattle Menu 19M THERE will be less hay on the live stock menu this yetir, One to the short hay crop, says the Sours-Hoe buck Agricultural Foundation. Farni -cm will produce only 78,900,000 tons, because of the unfavorable weather. Last year they produced 87,000,000 tons, und the five-year average crop la 00,000,000 tons, the Foundation points out. It la true that there are fewer live stock to consume this year's Minstrel Show Is Big Success i Large Audience Pleased With Production Last Night The minstrel show, "The Carolina Black and White Revue," presented by Bob Hoggard, of Rocky Mt., was at the StSrand Theater, was enjoyed I enjoyed by a representative Wil liam too audience. The cast was made up of talented young men of Rocky Mount and their performance is un usually fine for amateurs. Mr. Hoggard, as interlocutor, kept ! the show going at a good pace, »na never did it drag. The outstanding features were the two duets by Mr Deal and his partner, they having at one time been on a Keith circuit. Bill Shaw, at the piano played his part well. His music was full of pep and harmony. Wade Brown, Roy Council, John and Roy Hoggard were comedians of no mean rank, and were very much at home before the foot lights. They were really funny. Bob Hoggard's solo was the out standing vocal selection of the even ing, bat the qt .et delighted the au-1 dicnce with each and every song they sang. Last but not least, the acrobatic J stunts, by Wesley Edwarids and Thax ton Rowland, would not have been out cf class among professionals. They were very good, as was, in fact, the whole show. Program at Memorial Baptist A service will be held for the chil dren of the congregation Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The parents 01 these children, as well as their Sunday school teachers are asked to bear this in mind; and the pastor de sires that the teachers will sit with tneir pupils for the service.

The people are urged to attend these two Sunday services and in every way possible try to get something from them. * New Union Station at Plymout!
