The same spirit that thrilled the soul of John How ard I'ayne, when in a far-off land, will abide with man) of the old fellows as they dwell for a season in their native State and meet acquaintances of old, and as the\ gaze at the moss-covered tombstones of father, mother, and friends. • .11 is good for us to come back and look over the old grounds again, and silently thank those who made outw>uccess and our civilization possible. Our ancestry is a big asset, and we should never be too quick to forget it. We should remember that our children will need all through their lives the happy thought of good parents. Duty To Report Crime Is it the duty of a citizen to report crime to the public officials' Judge Meekins made the statement in open court at Washington last week that "It is the" duty of every citizen to communicate to the govern ment any infoTmation which he has of the commission of an offense against the laws of the Republic. The Elizabeth City Indept ndmt says, "Judge Meek ins would make of every a spy." Of course, Judge Meekins is right, because any |»er son who sees a crime committed and conceals it is guilty of an offense against our law. The-bootlegger will IK- against Judge Meekins be cause he always'has a partner, the buyer, and if the _ mm KEN 1 : AFAR I MI'.N IS, 5 the north by the lauds of Will Nelson, %Jk J A IV T* 1 rooms wiht bath, hoid and cold waat on the east by the lands of Jesse Jon 1/1/ /\ |\| I and steam heal.

PUBLISH ID «V«WT TU—DAY >HD FRIDAY buyer doesn't conceal his knowledge of the offense his business will be ended at once. If a man. in passing, sees a man shoot down his neighbor, his first duty-is to tell it; if he sees a man stealing his neighbor's chickens, he appreciates the opportunity to tell officers; any man would gladly report any one he saw slipping an article of merchan dise from a store. But when it comes to bootlegging, if a citizen sees it going on in an open and notorious way and opens his mouth to tell -it, some classes denounce him as a spy, others witrit to shoot him, some want to burn him. ' ' ■ . , When men rise to the point where they can appre ciate the meaning of law and order and do their full duty as citizens in all matters, they will better under stand their duty to help detect crime and enforce law. Pride That Is Justifiable Pride is generally regarded as one of the most de testable things that a person can possess, and if it is that kind of pride that makes us think too well of ourselves, it is detestable. But if we have the right kind of pride, it is one of our most valuable attri butes. We need sufficient personal pride to make us do our best for ourselves and present a good appear ance to others. t The most important thing, however, is moral pride. We should always strive to establish a character that man can not assail. Most people who compare this year with years past express the opinion that this generation is too slack in moral pride. There was a day when people were extremely care fuly to avoid the' Very appearance of evil, and were careful to avoid any suspicion of any kind that would tend to lower their good name. Things have taken a different 4um -in these modern days, and Jmuch of our moral pride has disappeared, and, to some extent, our moral Character has been impaired. Most people have a lower estimate of people than they had in former days, and there seems to be grounds for such an opin ion. It is more dangerous to trust people now than it was years ago, because they seem to have lost their moral pride and the value of character. Expensive Eating Potatoes from Minnesota, onions from Indiana and other vegetables from foreign States make expensive eating for Martin County people.. All the grocery stores are filled with foreign-grown potatoes, onions, beans, tomatoes, cabbage, rutabagas and other vegetables that may be easily grown on every farm or in every garden in Eastern North Car olina. Yet, we are buying arid pacing for these veg etables with tobacco money. This system of farming l has never failed to bankrupt any community that fol lows it very long. What farmers need to guard against is to keep the hands of others out of their pockets. The farmer who farms for money will generally meet with disap|jointment and lie unhappy, but the firmer who farms for a living will generally succeed and be happy. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER BOX A FEW QUESTIONS Questions and suggestions about things in town by a citizen: We arc informed that the State Highway Commission will riot allow I new lyrraved streets to be used under 2? days. Why should the town au- Ithorities be less careful? Did you know that it is against the town laws to roller skate on the side walks and streets? Are the young people interested in having a paved square at the Woman's Club playground on which to roller skate? Will the town people help the membership of the Woman's Club fi nance this project?
