Tuesday, October 30, 1928 Too Much Poitics at One Time . . « *• Aunt Het, Hambone, and (he love stories in the newspapers are going a long way to stabilize the public mind just now, when a reader loses his mind in politics. What a relief it is to switch off and read Aunt Het'a household philosophy or to turn to the sayings of Ham bone, which generally carries more honest wisdom than all the politics. J Love stories in the daily pa|>ers have never been so popular in all history as now The old, as well as the young, are flocking to the love stories apparently trying to get a little relief from the polluted fiolitical air. It really resembles fish sticking their noses out of muddy water to save their lives Politics are all right, and every man should.have some kind of politics, but what the American people need is a distribution of their political activities over a four-year period and not stuff it all in four months' activities. "Tell the World About Your Good" —"Tell the World About Your Goods," is the advice the Free Hress gives the Kins ton people. The same thing will apply to Williamston. If all the wide-open opportunities which are now staring this town were known to our folks, we would soon see a bigger town. rrt The Fret Press continues, "Blark ink and white paper is one thing that is needed to niake kinston greater." Williamston should also know that "a drop of ink will make » million think W rig ley knows the game and spends 53,500,000 annually to tell the world how good and how pure his gum is. Henry Ford spends vast sums to tell the folks to buy hords because they are the best, Proctor & Gamble are so anxious for the folks to know that their soap will lloat that yiey spend about.two millions each year to tell them about it, and then Campbell's Snip is sold by advertisements. The Vic tor talking machines are sold because they advertise on the silent iwge and w>( becaus they talk. What Williamston needs to,do is simply to tell the world of the oppotrunitjes that we can offer for a good business location, a good home, where a line combination of ( g»>od roads, cheap freights, electric power can be combined with a tine agricultural sec % ■"* " UOB. , The trouble is that we are not together on the im portant questions. We arc too„opt to try to carry out our individual plans tail to get enough force' behind our plans because it is a joint proposition and requires the united effort of all. If we are to have a big town, we must convince "T the world that this is a good place to live and do business. Good Government Most Important Who will support the government of th • I nited Stite? alter the election, regardless of whether Mr, Smith or Mr. Hoover is elected ? There can be but one jnswer and that answer is "AM good ct>-zen.«." We arc Uw apt to confuse the unimportant with the important things in life. After all, the important thing is good government, l"hat kind of government riiFVROi FIX LnL t I\ULI-1 o a* PEEL MOTOR COMPANY which protects the lives and property of the people and promotes the peace and prosperity of the coun try. j When the public fully desire; such a government and lends their help in maintaining it, we will have a satisfactory country. One of our great troubles is our extreme partisanship; that is to say, we are ready to destroy everything that we do not personally like. We sometimes seem to rejoice at the downfall of an enemy, whether he be right or wrong. What we need is a citizenship that will hold up the law that protects us. If such a spirit will direct the people during the coming four years, the country will not be lost, re gardless of who is president. Kvery man has the right to be for his candidate, but no man has the right to be against an officer. If he is, he makes a bad citizen and stands against free government. > _ —-— f "Know Your Home State" Know your home State is the subject of an article in the latest issue of the University A'ews Letter. The conclusion is, not to know the home State sadly crip ples the citizenship. I'erha|)s none of the older States of the I nion has wasted more golden opportunities than our own State While we have made considerable progress in many ways, we have, until recently, [>ermitted our resources to be stripped and carried away. In the case of our forests, most of our timbers of greatest vajue'have been taken away. Comparing ourselves with our neighboring-States, we find that our potential wealth is greater than most of them. In our State we find much,,to be proud of, yet we have dissipated our profits into pride and have not made the best of what we have. The county conditions are also one of the questions which is l>eing given "much thought. Here is our greatest need. Here js our greatest need. Yet we know little about th« riches that lie buried at our feet. We K> along from generation to generation and fail to see the glittering wealth which is all about us. We remain poor in tiank, mind, and body, because we fail to see the opportunities around us. Even the grass that grows up in the spring, drawing from the earth (lunlijOlW strnrftffir, only to be killed by the winter finest, could be converted into the richest and l»est butter, cheese, and beef. Yet we fail to harness this wealth and let it waste frorii year to year. It will lie both cheaper and quicker for our people to get wealth by learning of the wonderful oppor tunities which lie at our feet than by depending on politicians to make us rich. The Passing of October f - - October the ideal. No (jeriod of the year brings more beauty and joy than October. It seems to be an emblem ol a complete lite. I lie fruit nf the year comes to the winter storehouses, where man and l>east may feast until another season brings forth fruit again. No season of the year brings out more of the beau ty of plant life than October., when the trees adorn themselves in the most beautiful colors. It really demonstrates a life of service and unsel fishness. It comes up in the spring and absorbs the sunshine and the rain, finally giving back and yield ing up its fruit and exemplifies its l»eauty, climiyxing in October the opportunities of the season. America's Highway Program America's road-building program this year involves an ex|>eiuliture of *ll for every man, woman, and child in the country. It is expected to reach the tre mendous outlay of $1,.U>0,025,770. Widening of old roads is an. important feature,, particularly the ad dition of shoulders on paved highways. According to the American Automobile Association, this mean's that at the end of 1928 we will have more than (>OO,OOO miles of surfaced highway. The Fed eral aid system, consisting of 185,000 miles of import ant interstate trunk lines, will be about two-thirds completed. „ . Our highways are the arteries thjjl give life to the nation. They take more money than almost any other item in the budget, and thev |>ay it back more rapidly in .4xial and industrial progress. i- ■ ■ The result of my own study of the question, What is thejjest gilt which can be given to a community? is that a free library occupies the first place, provid ed the community will accept ai»d maintain it as a public institution, as much a part "of the city proper ty as its public schools, and, indeed, an adjunct to these.—Andrew Carnegie. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER BOX CATHOLICS ANDQUAKERS 1 notice'an article in your issue of October 23rd by Ex-Service man, on Catholic and Quaker. In the intercut of truth I wish to say that Ex-Service nian is saoly mis taken. There were about 8 per cent oi all the Quakers, in the United States in actual service, which extended to every branch. General Smedley But- Ur, one of the best fighters in the' ■Army was a Quaker.. Alvan York, who history records as the bravest sol dier of all ages, was a Quaker. The Quakers have fought in all of our wars. General Nathaniel Green and Anthony Wayne both were great fight ers in the Revoliftiona*y War. I fear that local Ex-Service man was licking the fat from rich American canteens on this side of the Atlantic and did not know much about the real war. 1 stood in the trenches in France by the side of Quakers; Catholics.
