Potatoes, cotton, and tobacco have done more to impoverish Kaster North ( arolina farmers than -any other three crops. They have brought farmers big money some years, made spendthrifts of them, and the next year the prices would shoot , down, leaving It has been many years since the rank and file of people were as dependent as they c now i are, and those them stranded, and now many of them art facing the winter with no money and nothing Jo eat. The farmer who grows his own food and feed crops is now, and always will l>e, the best off. Why the Jury System Falls Down The jury system has been much discussed and crit icized recently, and justly so. Not because of the ideals of sui h a system of administering justice but because of the practices followed. Money and influence are great hindrances in get ting justice at the hands of a jury. Ihe .courts too uften exalt the sacred ness of the jury, when, as a mat ter'of Jin .'"'they arc selected because of their dishonor, opposition to certain laws, indifference to justice, and prejudices. The two necessary qualifications for a juryman are a disposition to do right and sufficient intelligence to understand the case, it is a hard thing to find a panel of 12 jurors that measure up to each of these requirements, especially in complicated cases. It is alleged that in many prominent cases, the names of certain jutfirs are passed by oo> account of their known tendency to fairness. It is sometimes /alleged that after jurors are drawn, and before they THE BEST TALKING IMCTUKES with the Inst talking equipment i lade. Watts Theatre.

The jury system will cehainly have to be revised if justice is to be administered by 4be courts. There is too much ignorance admitted to the jury box at pres ent, as well as too many corrupt people. Few important cases are called but that one side or the other seeks jurors who are totally incompetent to understand either the testimony of the witness or the instructions of the court, leaving the juror to de cide the case according to the pleading of his favor ite lawyer, by whom he may have been treated to a drink at some previous time. Our Responsibility for the Orphans How much will Martin County contribute to or phan homes during this Thanksgiving and Christinas season? » One man has alteady said that the Lord had cut off his crops and impoverished him and that he was going to pass his hard luck on to the orphans and let them look out for themselves. Doubtless very ft w people will be so frank in ex pressing themselves in words. Nobody should express this spirit by their actions. The large number of orphan homes in the State say that if every person in the State will give one day's income to them that they can live. This is not only a chalenge to the strong manhood of the State, but it is a golden opportunity to do good. The present low price of peanuts means great fi nancial loss to the farmers of this section of the State. According to the Government report, we will have a large production. Generally, we refuse to doubt the crop reports of our Government, because they usually have a good sys tem of getting information. This time we refuse to believe the report as to the production in North Car olina. Kven if the acreage is increased, there will be a big falling off in the production per acre. A rainy season always means a short crop of peanuts, and this has been a very rainy one. Farmers will doubtless do well not to rush their crop on the present low market. No peanuts can be brought into this country without paying 4 1-2 cents a |wund duty. Certainly our crop should sell for as much as the duty on foreign peanuts. The* game law is doubtless the most "sacred" law on our statute books today, with more folks ready to enforce it than almost any of our laws, murder except ed, of course. The life of a 'coon is held more sacred than the peace and prosperity of a wife and children. If a man gets drunk, spends ail of bis substance in riotous liv ing, for whisky, or in other unlawful ways, goes borne, beats up his wife and children, the neighbors will stand by and let him repeat it for years and let his family go in rags and in hunger and say nothing, but if he happens to shoot a bird or a 'coon every body wants to "jack him up." We are not opjxised to the game laws and want them enforced promptly, but what we really want to see is a desire on the part of all people to enforce all laws. perior court of Martin County, North Carolina, above, to foreclose certain tax sale covering the following described land: A tract of land in Hamilton Township, Martin County, N.

I thought the best thing to do perhaps was to take no notice-..0f it, considering from whence it came. But Solomon's proverb came to my mind, "Answer a fool according to his lolly," so decided to write a few lines to you. I will pass over the fir*t part of your letter, which seems to be a jumble of Scripture quotations and misquotation* and your own foggy ideas, all mixed together, and come to the preacher who refused, to preach some one's funeral in a Metiidtfist church. It was not me, though I think some one in your com munity did circulate such a thing a bout me five or six years ago, but I can say in the sight of God there was no truth in it—not *hat I suppose you have any more respect for the truth than the rest of your company. I want to tell you now something I have heard about you. I do not knoto if it is true or not. I have heard that 011 one occasion since you have been a member of the church you got drunk end fell in the creek with a jug of li quor. Now, as I say, I don't know if it is true, and I am quite sure I don't care, but if it is true, I propose that you write an article for The Enter prise relating your experience with the liquor and the creek, what you sajd when you fell in, and when you got out, etcC^Such an ar ticle would be vastly more entertain ing to the majority of folks than the nonsense you write about religion. The next item is'about the State f.irm and convicts, but you or the print er have mixed it up so that I can not understand, but will just say in pass ing that I know a lot of people who have always worn citizen's clothes but their character and general reputation is much more streaked than any clothes worn by a convict, and do you know some of these kind of people have joined the Primitive Baptist Church. The next item of interest in your letter i» the lynching of Elder Harri son. I did not know they were going to lynch him. I think several MAN FELTBLOATED For Distress After Metis, He Takes Thedford's Black- Draafht ud Says He Obtaias Relief.

HeTe i» one, "We show whether we love him or not by the things we do." Well, you have been circulating lies privately and Is this your way of showing how much you love him? Do you think this u ar evidence of your being in posses sion of the Spirit of Christ. I think you are a long, Ibng way off the track. Well, I will now bring this writing to a close.
