C. as second-class matter under the act of March 3. 1879. : Address all communications to The Enterprise „ j - ; ' Do Not "Leave It to the Governor" "Leave it to the Governor," says an editorial in the Durham Herald. It - ; # may be proper to let the governor handle all State matters and direct all legislative enactments yet most North Carolinians have taught not to j carry all their eggs in one banket. They are also skeptical when it cemes to one man running both the legisla tive and executive departments. Foi that reason, they think the governor has no more to do with appropria tions than any other citizens. Cer tainly, his ideas may be better than that of the average pemon, but that i.- not the question upon which our legislature must act. All the knowledge of the governor * &nd of every other citizen of the State, let him be wise or ignorant, should be massed before the general assembly and let them find what the r. I people of the State need. The governor may not get the prop er slant on the best things for the State. He is very anxious to save money .for the State, something that every citizen will commend, but they are unwilling to open the doors of an insane asylum and turn a hundred crazy negroes out on the world in crder that money may be saved. It is doubtful if the people of the State at large will approve a plan to raise the dormitory charge at the State university and other State col Condensed Statement of the condition of the PLANTERS and ME RCHANTS BANK, of Everetts, N.

No governor of the old North State 1 should presume that he should lord ' it over the people of the State. ' Doubtless Mr. McLean will be of great service to the State in giving the legislature the advantage of his knowledge of its institutions, and he will undoubtedly save us money, but let not Mr. McLean cripple our State because he wants to make a good fi nancial statement. Although Mr. McLean is seeking close relations with the legislature elect, it is very doubtful if the coming general assembly gives him as free a hand as did the last legislature. We are willing to trust Mr. Mc- Lean with his job. We doubt not his ability nor his honor, but when it comes to "leaving it to the Governor" in matters of legislative policy we balk, and consider it presumptious to piace a carving knife in the gover nor's hands to trim our institutions according to his taste.

The Whispering: Gallery "The Whispering Gallery" is the title of a new book just off the press in England. The book has caused ouite a ripple on the high society waves in the British Empire. Most of the leading papers are discounting it as untrue and a fake. Of course, the book proposes to say what the people are afraid to say out, or things that are too bad to Bay out. Of course they say it is ill-manuerly to whisper, even among the gallery folk. ' I .. ... . I*i :#i • The galleries may have committed a crime for not speaking out rather than whispering. If England has made mistakes in church, State, and society, why don't the people speak In our own country we have whis perings sometimes. They throw sus picion on our leaders in government, in the pulpit, in business, or it may be . that suspicion is sometimes caused against the characters of men or wo men by a whisper; even the nodding of the head and pointing of the finger having been heretofore advertised and sold under the said lien, and an upset bid having been made as al lowed by law and an order of resale having been made, the undersigned trustee will on Thursday, the 25th day of November, 1926, at 12 o'clock m., in front of the courthouse door in the town of Wiliiamston, N. C., offer for sale to the highest bidder for cash the following decsribed real estate, to wit: Lying on both sides of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad near Wilts Sid ing, bounded on. the north by the lands jriiHMT -rrrrffgftriir at a person may throw a damper on their character in the eyes of per sons who do not know them. Yet we can not estimate how much good it may sometimes do to whis per—it has such a restraining power. The course of men is usually shaped upon their idea of the impression it will make, and what most of us want to do is to be approved. For that reason the knowledge that the world is a peeping gallery apd is whis pering out every bad, as well as good, deed we do, is a powerful reetrainer. If Lord Kitchener made mistakes, don't hide them. If Lord Cecil Rhodes ; made mistakes and caused the deathl of many, why should his penury be held more sacred than the common herd that died in South Africa? Every man that plays on the stage of life should invite the galleries to whisper. Let them applaud or let them hiss, according to the game we play. If the game is worthy, then we will not dread the whispering. of Buck Williams, on the east by the lands of Ransom Roberaon, on the south by the lands of J. M.
