Tuesday, September 4, 1928 September and School Time With September at the. top of the calendar we are reminded of the school season again, when the thoughts of the people turn from swimnung holes to school clothes, school lunches, and books. We will begin to hear of the parent-teacher activities, how they will meet and talk about what is the best thing to do for the children. This is, a work that every father and mother, as well as teacher in every school, should give an hour or two each month. We often hear the question, "What is going to be come of the children.''' The answer is easy—take care of them, but in a different way than that in which we have been doing. \\ e must give them more personal attention. There has never been a imu-jaiUetr more was done for children than is now,being done, yet there i> much failure in actual achievement. We are not giving too many opportunities to our children, but we are giving them entirely too many privileges. We are permitting them to build the roads they are to travel and to roam them at will. They are running unbridled while father and mothers are digging hard and deep to pay taxes, buy clothing and books for their sthooling. The thing to do for the children is to take care of them. Most parents have had far less school exig ence than their children now have, which enables the children to out-ligure and rule them. Rather than the parents ruling the child, the child is ruling the parents. Of course, there may be a few.wise old ducks who will flutter around and say that they rule their children, and they may, but we know when the children rule toe. often there is enough truth in the statement to the acid test. Now, it wfll b? an. easy thing to' take care of the children if every father, mother, guardian, and teach er will sand shoulder to shoulder and all do the prop er thing. The teacher can not take proper care of the children, the [>arents can't take proper care of them; but when the home and the school combine the job can be done •, well. One of the disgraces of the day is the neglect of the child, even in the midst of millions of golden oppor tunities. Let Martin County take the lead in taking care of her children by having 100 l*'r cent cooperation be tween teacher and jwrent. We will have children who are less liable to become parasitical liabilities if we will take better care of them, both at home and at school. Library or Swimming Pool? Since that swimming IXHJI has hibernated to winter quarters, wouldn't it be a line thing if, while it sleeps, it should hatch out a nice town library next spring? There are several ways in which the thing might be done. One would be- for 25 good men and 25 good women of Williamston to form a library commission and put SIOO apiece in a suitable building on Main Street. With a good building provided, books could be easily procured. Then s|jend the same amount for a librarian that a swimming pool keeper would cost, and we would have a good libfa. /. Buying Companies Tuke Notfi A survey of tobacco conditions in this section shdws that despite increased acreage at planting time, the losses in the harvest more than offset the first esti mated increase, and the crop as a whole probably, will not rf't' the total of the 1927 crop. After so many reports of a buipper crop, the buying companies would do well to take note of the true conditions. There is no overproduction tins year, and there is no reason why the growers should not receive a living price for their a op. — Greenville Reflector. The Town Is the Center The modern town is not only the trading center of the community, but it is the social, educational, and religious center as well. Just how far this town will advance or'go back in the scale of- a town'* growth depends altogehter upon the people of that particular city or town. Each town is a community center. If the people of the center of things are alive to the pos sibilities of the community it will advance; if not, tlbttt is nothing uodtr sun that will keep that town PUBLISHED ivnr TUMD«Y AND PWIPAY alike. Another and more progressive town will spring up and with the more rapid methods of today's travel almost any distance is made short in comparison with that of the yesterday. There is greater need of civic pride and civic effort today than ever before.. No town, however well intrenched, is immune to the con stant reaching out of other cities and towns after the trade and the progressive spirit and element. It is in keeping with the modern idea to be ever vigilant. Keep your lamps trimmed and burning. Not for even a momeqt allow an opportunity that will advance the welfare of your home town to escape you. "If it's a good thing, we have it," can not be beaten as a com munity slogan. This applies to the merchandising and the civic appeals of the town as well The town that draws and the trade of all the people of the community -is assured of success.— Oxford Public Ledger. ' . Keep Strings Out of Tobacco The tobacco-buying interests are warning farmers against leaving strings in their, tobacco when tying it for market. The presence of these things in the heads of bundles works a hardship on the factories in the working of the tobaco, hence the companies will not knowingly buy such tobacco or will not pay as much for it as they would if it were free from foreign sub stances and ready to be handled without repicking. Surely the request of the buying companies is a rea sonable one, and no doubt the farmers will readily co o|>erate. — Greenville Reflector. A Dirty Fight All the Way Through Is alcohol going to change American citizenship and American ideals? If we carefully listen in on the main line, we are forced to admit there is danger. We find families di viding, neighborhoods dividing, churches dividing. Unfortunately, it is not a fair fight, because alcohol has slip|>ed its slimy coils around national politics. Some folks say one candidate is about as wet as the other. Vet everybody has to admit that many wet Republicans are flocking to the Democrats while many dry Denjycrats are tumbling to Hoover. considered a very unfortunate thing that a moral issue should be forced in as a political question and work such havos as it is now doing, and appar ently it bids fair to do wohse. The hatred that will be engendered by this cam paign will last churches, neighborhoods, families, and States for fifty years. The very fact that so many base falsehoods are being broadcast to prejudice folks who are ignorant of the true facts is a disgrace to twentieth century civilization. When you pass one man who is exalting Hoover and defaming A! Smith and then pass on only to find -the next man exalting A 1 Smith and defaming Hoover, it is conclusive evidence that there is something meaner than ordinary jwlitics operating in ihis campaign. v The personal lives of both Smith >nd Hoover will bear the closest scrutiny; both came up from obscur ity, and if Smith is elected the Hooverites will forget their allegations against him; and if Hoover is elected, okcourse, the Smith folks will find that most of the things they have said about him were untrue. Tlie most unfortunate feature in the whole cam paign is the church light. Astute politicians in many instances are trying to discredit the church, and often the church is lowering itself by fighting in an un christian way. Nobody seems to be willing in this campaign to wage a fair light. Somebody is lying on the K.u Klux Klan by circulating inflammable mat ter against thein. Somebody is spreading falsehoods against the Knights of Columbus by published state ments, most of which has been proven false. Catholic is arrayed against Protestant and Protestant against Catholic. It would seem that Christianity -present day Christianity—has lost much of its charity. • How this must please ex-king Alcohol, to see the home, the State, the nation, the church, fighting a gainst themselves in an effort to conquer for their creed. As long as we are willing to indulge in spreading the bad news about our religious, social, and political neighbors and leave off all the good about them, they will seem bad; but if we will take the other side and find the best in them, they will not seem so bad. Alcohol, the lurking demon that has destroyed so many good men in the past it> res|x>nsible for the whole trouble. The deman has been at least [wrtly caged. Now he has reared up like the |x>isonous ser ial when the summer heat comes. He has uncoiled and hidden his seven heads arid ten horns in our politi cal campaign, hoping to be again legally wrapped in a royal robe and set at the right hand of our American government, rather than to have to sneak around as an outlaw hidden in the bosom of bootleggers. What the country needs is a clean-cut political cam puign on the national issues, and then have a clean cut tight out in the open on the' liquor question. \ _ i» " What a Library Does lor a Town 1. Completes its educational equipment, carrying on and giving permanent value to the work of the schools. 2. Gives the children of all classes a chance to know and love the best in literature. Without a public li brary such a chance is limited to the very few. 3. Minimizes the sale and reading of vicious liter ature in the community, thus promoting mental and moral health. 4. Effects a saving in money to every reader in the community. Through the library every reader in the town can secure at a given cost from 100 to 1,000 times the material for reading or study that he could secure by acting individually. * *• 5. Adds to the material value of property. Real estate agents in the suburbs of large cities never fail to advertise the presence of a library, if there be one, as giving added value to the lots or boose* they have '*»* .. .
