Friday, January 11, 1929 Pave the Streets What should Williamston do about paving her streets is a question now at issue. Some say "No," . which seems to be the wrong answer. Of course, "too poor to pay {or it" is the objection raised. This answer is entirely untrue. Nobody denies ihe fact that people generally «re in financial straits—but why? Nobody is poor because of the spending for things they actually need. But we are almost dead poor localise we are spending so much for the things we do not actually need. It is a fact which has been clearly demonstrated that the people are going to keep on in the same course. Now, if we actually need paving—which must be ad mitted —the the town board will be doing the people t iavur to pave the streets and make them pay for it with some of the money they will be sure ttf throw a w*y fd some - of our modern pleasures. We Ml never be more able to pave than we are now, and nobody is going to pave our streets for us. So why not do the reasonable thing and pave as much of the town's streets and sidewalks as possible? Will Mint m nine has the worst streets of any town oj its site in Eastern North Carolina, which really in jures our town, because its dilapidated streets are an eyesore to eVery stranger that passes our way." Pave the streets. It will be a benefit to the people* »nd not a burden, as some seem to think Time (or Calling the Trusts Congress has at last authorized the building o( Boulder Dam on the Colorado River. It is estimated to cost $105,000,000. This seems to be a distinct victory over the Electric l'ower Trust, whkb has tought the project quite vigorously through means of propaganda * It will be a revelation to the public to know how cheap electricity can be generated, and it is quite pos sible that was one jf the reasons why the l'ower Trust fought the project. They are evidently unwilling for the public to know very much about electricity, ex cept enough to buy it from them. It i s high time that the sundry, trusts of this coun try should be called to the books. before the liberties of the people are finally absorbed by them. The Building and Loan Association ** ————— .. . The Martin County Building and Loan Association is one of the outstanding institutions of the county and has served two goixj purposes. First. it has built many houses —for jieople who, in most cases, could not have owned a home otherwise. 0 And again it has been a good investment for people who wished to make small systematic savings. They not only save small amounts weekly but receive > ent ' nterest t ' ear ol all taxes and cost. So far, nothing lus been found safer nor better to invest money in than building and loan shares. It keeps the money at home to build homes to pay taxes on and helps to keep up and sustain the town govern ments ." The building and loan association makes people thrifty. They save a part of their earnings and have something when hard times come. FOR SAI.E: EARLY JERSEY Wakefield caObage plants, 20 cent* per hundred; five thousand and over cheaper.

L. -Davis and wife, Dora Davis, on the 26th day of December, 1922, and of record in the public reg istry of Martin County, in book Nt 2, page 336, said deed of trust having be«n given to secure a certain note ot even date and tenor therewith, and a default having been mad* in the pay ment of the said note and the stipula tes contained in the K«id deed of trust not having been complied with, and at the request of the holder of the said note the undersigned trustee will on Saturday, (tie 26th day of January, 199, st 12 o'clock m., in front of (lie exurtbouse door in the town of Wil liamston, N.

Naturally, the answer should be: Adopt it with reverent and sacred ceremony—which will be done unless what wc call "dirty politics" comes up. It was strange when Wopdrow Wilson, a Democrat, pth the greatest paper before the Senate that was ever presented for the procuring of peace, that the United States should have let politics kill it and place the world in a frowning condition, when it might have passed it and put the world in a state of -good fellowship. Now things are reversed, and Kellogg, a Republi can, is presenting something pointing in the same di rection as did Wilson's treaty —and, admittedly, not j.ear so good. What will the Senate do with it? It is to be hoped that the leading Democrats will not stoop as low as did Lodge. j e- County Banks Stronger Than Ever The official bank statements of the Farmers & Mer chants Bank, N of this city, and the Bank of Hamilton show these banks' condition stronger than for a num ber of years. The banks have, besides their regular assets, a liquid guarantee fund which would enable them to convert their assets into cash upon the shortest no tice. All the banks of Martin County have fallowed the strictest methods of careful banking for a number of years; and, while they have not made large profits for their stockholders, they have made provisions for the perfect safety of their dqxraitors, which is the first principle of good banking. An Idea Worth Imitating The Mexican senate has passed an act that should be commended by our American legislators. It requires all government cars used by officials to be sold, except one for the President. They also with drew the expense allowance of officials. That is a very fine example of economy and will go a long way in stabilizing a safe and sound govern mnctal system ,It is contrary to the American system, where many officials try to hog it all. The idea of the Mexican senate seems to be that men in office and men out of office should fare alike. They do not proceed on the theory that an officer should be elevated to a higher plane of living than other folks, nor that his labor is worth more than that of other people. Whither Are We Drifting'? Are the organizations which men have followed through the centuries to die by default. The condi tion is really serious, if not alarming. As we line thejchurch, the fraternal and most of the civic organizations 011 the one' side, we und the at tendance either at a standstill or diminishing. Stand ing in the line of the theater, the pleasure resorts of all kinds, we find the way crowded with masses of people who seem to have one-'great purpose, "see." This condition does not stop with the young, but the old are also deserting the institutions that stabilize our society and are rushing with the up The wild chase for pleasure. ' It would be a safe guess to say that not more than 10 per cent of Masons are found at the regular meet ings of their lodges. It is also true that the decrease in attendance is at least 50 i*r cent during the past 15 years. People are taking up very little time with character building institutions, but are rushing and plunging into the great whirlpool of pleasure. The people will have to attend church to get the benefits of church, and they will likewise have to at tend any other institution if they are to have a going and a beneficial institution. The question' is, "Shall the church be weakened, masonry and others of the noble institutions be de stroyed by desertion?" Tex Rickard Tex Rickard, the promoter of prize fighting, who died in Florida recently, was taken to New York this week in a $15,000 coffin and was met by a great throng of admiring people, so large that the police force had to beat back the crowd. While the profession of fight promoting may not be of the highest type, yet in lex Rickard beat a great heart of love. He possibly did a portion of his promotion from a money standpoint, yet like a large part of the human race, the love for sport and a desire to excel! was the chief thing that actuated him. And it can well be said that he was the king of his profession. described real estate, to wit: The remaining part of the William E Wright trait ot land as was owned and sold and deeded by L. F.
