Martin was re | lained by B. R.

The funds embezzled while Mr. l,acy was treasurer were promptly re imbursed to him by the State; but the r. litter of reimbursing Worth got in to politics and the legislature would not repay the loss which Worth sus tained and had to pay the State by the theft of another.

People from the re mote sections, from the villages, and from the towhs journeyed up to th« county seat of Martin to witness their buys and girls read, spell, figure, and sing. Group-center contests had previous 1> been held in Hamilton and James ville. In the several contests held in Wil liamston the schools winning were as follows: Farm Life won spelling con test; Williamston won choral contest; Everetts won arithmetic contest; and Itobersonville won story-telling con test, pageant content, and second place in choral contest. Although Oak City went to county commencement with the prospect of winning 5 first places and a total of 25 points, that school did not win a first ploce in any contest, and only won 7 points out of a possible 25 points. Robersonville, on the other hand, went to county commencement and was allowed to enter only three events —this school had previously been ruled out of the other events by cer tain rules and regulations. However, put of a possible score of 15 points, Itobersonville won 13 points. Then, too, Itobersonville school won 2 first places and 1 second place out of the three events this school was allowed to enter. Therefore, the Roberson ville school won the certificate of a ward over all other Martin County schools. R. I. LEAKE, Principal. Kobersonville, N. C., April 26, 1927. THE ENTERPRISE WILLIAMSTON, N. C. OVERCOMING JEALOUSY Hy Martha Lee in American Farming Only those who have experienced the pang* of jealousy know how stab bing, piercing, and agonizing they are —how they make one suffer physi cally and mentally. 'Jealous people are always miserable. The misery and suffering that this destructive emotion invariably entails ought to be warning enough that it should be conquered. And it can be overcome, althoogb -some people are so fond of repeatedly" treading in a familiar groove of thought that they are not willing to forsake old hates to be come happier. Here are a few ideas recently picked up that will give you reasons why and how this green-eyed monster can be overcome. A writer on health subjects has this to say about jeal ousy: "Wrong habits of thought and ac tion divert the enersry of the body in to channels where it is wasted and normal function of the organs of the body is impeded. The exercise of any of the destructive emotions is per haps aa powerful a cause as any of this waste of power. If one gives v.ay to fear, worry, jealousy,, anger, etc. r an enormous expenditure of en ergy is involved, which, if taken up ii: this way, is not available for use elt-ewhere. This results sooner or later in impairment of some part oi the system." So, if you would be in the best of h.oaltli, you can not afford to let your self become jealous—use your will [ power and rule jealousy out of your life. A writer for a religious paper re cently mtated: "To be jealous of any one is to acknowledge his. superiority." Itather startling, isn't it? But af ter pondering over it for a while, you will have to admit its truth. Mem orize this inotation and every time you are tempted to let jealousy spoil things for you, call it to mind.
