Should Answer for Their Crime One class of citizens that should be carried from the creeks to the jails is the fellows who sneak around and dynamite fish. With few exceptions, these de predations are committed by people who have no con siderations for others or the law and are lead on by doggish dispositions to get something today, caring -nothing-ior tomorrow It is reported that in some creeks of this county, quantities of dead fish may be seen floating down the streams which have been killed by dynamite ex plosions. Every citizen should make every effort to prevent such cruel and unnecessary acts as dynamiting fish. It is the duty of the citizen to see that those who do it are brought into the courts to answer for the crime. Principles Rather than Politics Should we educate our children for politics? A citizen who took part, as a candidate, in the re cent primary thinks the method followed by candidates in seeking office is entirely wrong, that it is dangerous to the success of any boy to instill in him the desire for a political career. It was the man's expressed be lief that it would be better to teach the principles of statesmanship and" oiizenship rather than shady meth ods of merely gaining votes. In following such a system, we would have a people calling for their servants rather than politicians seek ing the votes of the people. The youth of the land should know the difference between the politician who wants something-for him- Friends, Supporters and Voters of Martin County ALLOW ME TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE APPRECIATION AND THANKS TO THOSE WHO SUP PORTED AND VOTED FOR ME IN THE PRIMARY LAST SATURDAY. J. G. STATON To the Democratic Voters of Martin County n . I sincerely appreciate the vote cast in my be half in the Primary last Saturday, and I trust that •very man or woman who reads this note of ap preciation will accept it as a personal one. Again, I wish to thank you and assure you the very best service of which I am capable as Register of Deeds. lam always at your service, and when I can render assistance, please feel free to call on me. i r J. Sam Getsinger pußLiiNio mmn self and the statesman who wants to give himaelf to his people. , The people are alio frequently unfair to the poli tician; they promise to support him to make him feel good, and then vote against him. We need a training school for our children in which they might be taught principles of government rather than politics. The End Brings Relief Regardless of whether all of our friends won in the primary or not last Saturday, we all rejoice that it is all over. It is probably true that in most respects the campaign was conducted upon an ethical basis; yet, in a few instances, there were some shady things reported. Many falsehoods have been spread pur posely and some of the untrue statements were ped dled around by people who knew they were false Others told the falsehoods in good faith. Various factions are said to have attacked opposing ones for advancing flaws and falsehoods,; turning in the next breath to stoop to such practices themselves. Unfortunately, the broad freedom given under our American electorial system makes it so easy to stary from the straight path that many follow an irregular course. Our ballot is considered our most sacred governmental right; yet, we treat it very lightly at times. When our schools teach our boys and girls more of the importance and sacredness of government, the less taxes we will have to pay. Professional and personally interested politicians largely rule an ignorant electorate. An intelligent electorate calls its leaders. Teach the children how to preserve their liberty. The A ustralian Ballot in Effect The Australian Ballot Law met with much favor throughout the State Saturday when the voters, for the first time, had the privilege as well as the pleasure of marking their ballots without someone standing and looking over their shoulders. There were more than three thousand votes cast in this county last Saturday. Under the old system, the number would probably have been much larger in cer tain instances. The new law works against the professional poli tician who formerly had the power to suggest even up to the ballot box. It is unfair to say that the results last Saturday would have been different under the old system, but without the change it would have been (xjssible for entirely different results. There has been a strong demand during the past years for a better election law limiting fraud. Up until the last legislature the measure had been defeated by «he professional politicians. CJovernor Gardner gave the measure his full supjx>rt and after a hard struggle, the Australian system was introduced. For his work, Mr.** Gardner deserves the thanks of the law-abiding l>eople of the State. There may still be objections and opportunities for fraud in voting, but everyone admits that the new law advances better voting methods and fairness. ON LIVING AT HOME We thought the "live-at-home subject would become exhausted and die a natural death, but it seems to have as many lives as are attributed to the cat. "Live-at-home" is no new idea. Our forefathers practiced it in self-de fense. In Colonial days, what one did not produce at home was im ported all the way from Europe and other foreign countries. Such a state of affairs could not exist with development and progres greasion. The idea of "live and let live" began to prevail. George Washington owned a hun dred cows, and yet he bought but ter for his table. A person practic ing the "live-at-home" rule and dabbling into everything is apt to become a "Jack at all trades and good at none." Every one is fitted for some one thing, and every one ought to do the thing that he or she can do best. An earnest, honest effort to succeed at some one thing is usually crown ed with success. * There is so much to be done that work equally divided would provide work for every one. Let's adopt the alogan of "live and let live" and practice the golden rale of doing aa you would be done by. "Let us then be up and doing, With a head for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, I>earn to labor and to wait." NOTICE OP FORECLOSURE SALE OP LAND State of North Carolina, County of Martin.

Macklin TELEPHONE 154 A Word of Appreciation I desire to thank those who supported my candidacy for Judge of Recorder's Court in the Democratic Primary last Saturday. The Primary is the place where all differences are settled and I congratulate all the victors and they are all my candidates now. For thirty years I have followed the banner of democracy in victory and in defeat and am now ever ready to obey the call of duty and fight its battles. This great party may be defeated but it can never be destroyed because it rests on principles that are elemental and eternal. To us has been entrusted the keeping of the covenant of freedom and equal rights created by the genius of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest philosopher and statesman this country has ever produced. J he task now confronting us in the approcahing campaign is to e economy in government, to preserve the liberties of the peo ple, to safeguard and re-establish the necessity and responsibility of local self-government. These are the sacred jewels of our heritage, the golden candle sticks and vessels'placed in a charter of liberties. We must fight the good fight and keep the faith. I have confidence in the ultimate judgment of the American peo ple. They are now "conscious of the false prophecies and betrayals of the unfaithful Republican leaders. Here is hoping for a glorious democratic victory in county, state and nation oh the ideas of next November. . , John L.
