Friday, August 12, 1927 An Action To Be Greatly Commended ' General Superintendent C. (> Sibley, of Rocky Mount, has noti fied Attorney li. A. Critcher that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. will extend its line to the Roanoke River, and will build such trackage ! as may be necessary for the use of the Standard Wholesale Phosphate Co., which is now beginning the i construction of a large fertilizer lac-1 torv on the site of the old cooper- 1 age company plant. This information is gladly received j by Williamston people, who realize 1 the advantages it w ill give the town ' What Does a Visitor See in Williamston? Williamston is" becoming to be I mt:rh more than a little home town, j It is claiming the attention of people ■ trom afar. A glance at one page of a hotel register in the town recently showed visitors for the day from six differ ent States. While we may think we see a lot when these visitors come to our town I because we look at them and their clothing; and most of them, especi ally the women, wear more than we do; we look at their automobiles and license plates because we are anxious to know where they are from. In our anxiety to see and observe these visitors, we lose sight of one thing and forget that their business here is to see us. They look at our lands, our homes, our yards, gardens, flower patches, churches, school- Obey the Laws or Leave the Country If all the people in America, of whatever kindred and tongue, who do not like our criminal laws would get out of the country rather than slay and threaten blow-ups and oth er destruction, it would l>e a tine thing.

It shows, too, the keen in sight Mr. Sibley,-the new superin tendent, has in graspin;; an oppor tunity for his company. We regard it as a sound business proposition and one that will send Coasi Lin | stock even higher, because there an many potentialities besid s the a: } surance of the big factory soon to b j built here. This one mile of railroad may dnu ble the size of Williamston within 10 years and has the probability of doubling the railroad's freight re ceipts at this point. j houses, our stores and public build ings, and our streets and sidewalks; and then, too, they look and listen |at our people. They measure our | friendliness, our kindness, our cul ture or coarseness, as the case may be. They watch for smiles as well jas frowns. And then they carefully J weigh and measure us. Those with daughters look at the young men to see if association is safe for ladies: and then the mothers with sons listen carefully to find how loud the girls are, because if then is anything that hurts a mother, it is for her boys to drift in th • com pany of loud girls. So Williamston has more than 14 jKiints to present to th >se coming within her gates. Every citizen ha at least one or more of these points to push. would be given to an Englishman, an the right of protection from a law who refuses himself to obey and who defies the law. If these men are unmistakably guilty of violating one of the laws of the State of Massachusetts which is punishable by they should receive the punishment. If there is any doubt as to their guilt, certainly they are entitled to it, even unto the la&t chance, one of its fixed principles -that of justice to all men alike -and every man must be governed by the same law. The Power of Interest The |»o\ver of interest is generally not given flue consideration until it moves the p-.yrr on' f h's hirrf t> the poorhoure. or until it buiid- fori the collector rugnilV n 'y-'rapr Thirty-eight vem atv> t»en. F. M. 1 Drake gave $5,000 to lie used a.- a j church-building fund. 'Hie condi tion of the gift was that the money ; was to be loaned by a board fur th purpose of building churches. Ihe loans were to be made at 4 p"r tent : interest and were to be paid back in j five years and the principal and in-1 terest loaned to some other church. The result is that j>77,520.W has been loaned to 94 different churches and the fund i> inw 51M,165..W. This clearly shows how hard it is ; to pay interest. The man who hii:- to carry a toad of interest a'Vmin.i his neck all his life has to h'tiiy,his Ten Causes for Divorce R. C. Hassrick, of I'hiladelphia,j says most of the divorces are* the j fault of the husband, basing his opin- j ion on the study of at least 12,000 I cases each year. He gives ten principal causes for divorce which have come under hi. observation and study, giving them in the order o(. their importance, us, follows: First, Extravagance; newlyweds living beyond their means, getting on the instalment plan too many things, which lead to „ disappoint ment, which grows into quarrels and hatred. Secon, Incompatability: The in ability to see and understand things alike and enjoy them mutually. Third, Unreasonableness; Unwill ingness to give and take in the coarse if married experience. Intemperance is givL-n as th • fourth greatest cause. The husband ■ showing a greter love for the unlaw - j ful games, bootlegging; '■(" , than f / honest wor! to support the home j Strange (o say, Mr. Hassrick puis | infidelity as the fifth cause, which I cause he charges in a large majority of cases to the husband. Sixth. Interference by parents. Seventh, Too many children: Eighth. Nagging; fiequently on | the part of both, hut more generally on the part of the discouraged htis- ' band. Ninth, Lack of diplomacy: Fly-1 ing off the" handle over small mal-' ters, unwillingness to re ison out any thing. Tenth, No sense.of humor. It is extremely doubtful whether: Mr. Hassrick is correct or not. The fact that infidelity is placed as the fifth cause gives ground to doubt. It is quite likely Lhat many divorces . are granted on other pretexts when ! the sole cause is infidelity, which breeds other troubles upon which di vorce grounds are established. Another thing which is open to dis pute in his claim is that a very large majority of the trouble iies | with the husband: for in at least two I of his reasons the wife plays a large ! part. First is the extravagance, by demanding more- than the husband can make and spending much of it foolishly; putting the husband's nose to the grindstone and causing him to lose hope and disregard self res|>ect. The other is infidelity. We hold no defense for men, yet there are just thousands of wile; who are lay ing divorce foundations a'l over th land by hanging around drug stores, wallowing around dance halls, and any other places where opportunities for fast life is |>ermitted. We "doubt the correctness of th statment that a very large pact of the trouble is caused by the husband. THE E*THRFK|SE WILLIAMSTON, N. C. liead low, and but few men arc ab'.e to carry it. When vtfs Americans make up our minds to plant a few dollars in an j investment and let it grow from j year to year and never eat up the interest, *;■ v.iil find ourselves with substantia) estates at the end of our three-score-and-'u-n allotments. It would have b>*en pretty hard j for General Drake to have invested 55,000 in any piace'that would have done so much church work as wa* accomplished by this slow, steady, but sure process of day, night, and Sunday interest earning.
