Close Watch Important
Now that the burden of supporting the constitu
tion..! six-months school in North Carolina is to lie
vhif'ed from homes and farms to other sources more
ab'c to bear" the cost, the people must look closely
aftei their educational advantages and not |*rmit a
lowering of either quantity or quality.
Our country's greatest need is a citizenship of
equal ability. Even with equal and just laws- they
can't properly protect those people who themselves
art* unable to demand their rights.
In our eager and justified desire for lower taxes on
land, we should carefully watch the fellows that are
going 1" t*' forced to pay their just quota of the bur
dvn, and d »nt let them slip something into the school
bill that will weaken the public schools.
They Forget Their Democracy
A few of the large daily papers in the rich centers
nf the State are howling because the State is about
to. accept the task of supporting the constitutional
six-month school term. They say their rich sections
will have to pay the bills to educate the |x>or s-ctions.
In making their objections, they apparently lose
si K ht of the fact that to educate all equally is a bed
rocjc principle of democracy, that .ill IWWI • ir tr *
ated alike and that men and not money are the unit
of government
And again, why should Winston-Salem and Dur
ham complain about paying a little tax in the Eastern
half of the State, from which section they draw their
raw materials and make ten times as much from them
as all the taxes they (>ay. It ill liehooves them to
complain in returning a little tax money to educate
the children tlwjfflayc impoverished by not paying
fair prices for the raw tobacco.
Foolish Argument
Undoubtedly, the most foolish argument of all so
far advanced by the liquor folks is the one for State
control of intoxicating liquors.
We can h-irdly understand, with the density of
population, the close proximity localities and the
WARNING!

rapid methods of transportation, why any man should
argue for State control of whiikey. No man can fail
to understand that with such conditions existing, we
could have no regulations of any kind. North Car
olina could not be dry if Virginia was wet. If we
had such a law, bootlegging would be increased ten
times greater than it is now because every path lead
ing from that state to this would be lined with boot
leggerfc*—
We have already learned that the hardest task in
the enforcement of the liquor laws is the work of pre
venting Canadian liquor from being smuggled across
the border to flood the cities of our country.. The
same troub'e has been experienced in preventing
liquor smuggling from rum crafts sent out from the
West Indies into every little port on our southern
coast.
If the advocates of liquor are so anxious to have
it back with a legal status, why don't they come out
square to the front and tell the folks what a fine
thing liquor is for building better homes and com
munities, for improving business ethics, and moral
conduct and for deeping religious spirituality. And
when tlry have made out an honest case and con
since the people of the country that they can have
more i oral it y, more |>eace, more safety, more truth,
more h >nesty, more health and more wealth with
liquor than they can without then good men every
where will rush to liquor and give it legal sanction.
Hui why so much arguing for liquor when there is
not a word of reason or truth for argument?
'•—The Root of All Evil"
The love of money is the root of all evil, according
tu the scriptures, 'the statement seems to apply 100
per cent in the case of the tax dodger that apparently
goes to the full 100 per cent to get out of paying
themselves and forcing the burden on someone else.
They don't fail to take the advantage of the
ignorant, an act the most unfair and unkindest they
could do. They hire their exjjerts to dominate our
legislatures and congress. It is plain that the fel
lows who are putting up the hardest fight against the
proposed school bill which will take much tax off the
little fellows and place it on the big ones, are those
who are tied to the big interests by big fees. And
then there is the ex|>ert lobbyist who calls aside the
little mug-headed politicians and fixes them with all
promises and mystifies and beclouds their minds un
til they don't know how to act or what to do.
The rights of the common people have been trampl
ed in the dust by the lobbyist and the weak legis
lator.
Tobacco Planting
Eastern Carolina farmers have made no greater
mistake than adding to over-production and crowd- "
ing the plant in the field in an effort to make money.
Planting tobacco too thick generally causes a poor
crop. Too much fertilizer is required to grow a crop
thickly planted, and the tobacco often is diseased by
the practice.
Farmers have lost millions of dollars by planting
their tobacco crop too thickly, hoping to produce a
good crop by the use of added fertilizer. The practice
causes abnormal-growth and poor quality. A medium
production of good tobacco is the crop that pays the
biggest return. Tobacco can't be forced as corn or
other crops are forced. You might force the pound
age, but you can't force the quality. Plant it at
least 34 to 36 inches instead of from 26 to 28 Inches
apart.

To the Editor of Enterprise:
The 4„JI Club Girls of Oak City
!High School wish to express their ap
j leadership of the Martin County Home
ipreciation for the suggestions nad wise
! Demonstrator. Last summer for an
economy meaure in the school the
home economic department was dis
continued! Thr h moe demonstrator
readily and cheerfully offered to aid
in any possible way, therefore the hot
lunch was organized and lias been do
' ing a splendid work for the needy in
the school and community. the
present existing conditions in this
community i»othing is needed moie
than good organizations to help, direct
and sponsor work for homes and child
ren who cannot get help and train
ing otherwise. The history of the
world, like that of nations and of in
dividuals, has been one of ebb and
flow, of up and down, and yet the
world hasn't stopped. Then why eli
minate the things necessary for life
and character?
Therefore we, the 4 H Club Girls
of Oak City School and Community
do hope that our home demonstration
work will he continued.
I Anvil Woodley, President; Thelina;
Haislip, Vice President; Ruth Pear-'
i son, Secretary.
\Vc, as home demonstration women,
would like to ask the Woman's
of Robersonville, also the county com
missioners, to please seriously I con
sider the advantages they are taking
from us, to say nothing of the girls'
club, if they take our home, demon- ]
stration work from our county. We
do not have the advantage of movies, j
or electric radios, and in this day of
' depression we are not able to get so
| many magazines. All of our help .
coming from our ever-willing demon-1
'strator, at the very small sum of 17 j
| cents tax, which I am sure no tax- }
payer would mind could he see all
.the' benefits gotten from our clubs.
| Therefore, we hope all misunder
standing will be adjusted, and nothing
' remain between us save love and good
will.

Editor, Enterprise:
When the Woman's Club of Rober
sonville asked Commissioner Everett
Ao_il£lU put the home demonstration
, work out of Martin County, 1 am sure
they forgot that we were a sister or- j
ganization with the same "Collect of
| the Club Women of America," which
reads as follows:
"Keep us, O God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in word, in
deed; let us be done with fault-find
ing and leave off self-seeking * *
This"'writer realizes fully that we
need to economize in State, county,
and homes more than ever before. Are
we not learning from our home dem
onstrator, Miss Sleeper, how to econ-
jomize, when she teaches us to re
model and clean old garments, hats,
| make bedroom shoes, ornaments to
l>eautify the homes, and putting old
inner tubes into use? Are we not sav
ing dollars when we learn the value of
foods and how to serve them so as to
keep our families well? What takes
a poor man's money faster than doc
tor's bills? Surely we had rather pay
the additional 4 cents per capita tax
.for our home demonstrators
Aren't we country women entitled
to a little diversion? Our club give*
us that, also helps us to know our
neighbors better, creates more love
and interest in a community, makes'
better and more attractive:homes, bet-!
ter mothers, and is a source of educa
tion in every w»y.
Compare our Rirls' ability with the
present mother's when she was a
j.fcirl. The 4-H club knows how to
cook, can, sew, and care for the home
and family when mother is away. I
Didn't Mitt Sleeper teach them? j
What about the boys' club Mitt,
Sleeper has near Everetts, who were
so anxious to belong to a club that
.they were willing to dim tockt, while
I clothing was the project. They now
have a poultry club.
Let us have more tuch work in our
county.
j We need to rally to our agentt in
stead of discontinuing the work.

The Enterprise:
Our nation, our State, and our
country are facing one of the moat
critical situations we have ever known.
1 dare say the most critical ever in the
history of the country. Everywhere
we hear hard timet, no money, cut'
expenses, and to do so we think we'
taust do away with some of the coun-|
ty offices and agents.
It seems that there is a move on'
foot to do away with our county dem-j
onstration agent, the one person, I.
dare say, who has meant more and
done more to help Martin County >
during this period than any one per
son in the county. She has given us
many lessons in how to economise iAI
food, clothes, house furnishings, and
everything that goes to help a house
wife in managing her home; also how
we may help our husbands in caring
' for the family. How we, in our spare
MO * TW
time, can make tome money to help
care for our needs and that of the
family. How we may imprdve our
old wayi* of doing things, that we
may have more time for Qther thing*.
She ha* done everything »he could to
help u* bring money into the county
through exhibiting the things we have
made. She has lectured to u* on our
foods, how we should be so careful
about our diet to prevent this awful
disease, pellagra, that is so prevalent
in our state. She is interested, not
because she is county demonstration
agent alone, but because she has the
good of Martin County at heart. If
we will canvass the county and in
quire, I am sure we can readily see
why our county demonstration agent
should hot be done away with.
Of course, times are hard, but I
think I can truthfully say that there
would be more people in this county
suffering than there are if it had not
been for our Martin County .home
demonstration agent, Miss Lora E.
Sleeper.

Dear Editor:
We heartily approve the letter that
was written by Miss Margaret Ever
ett, corresponding secretary, Williams
Chapel Home Demonstration Club.
We have had only three meetings
of the Bear Gras* home demonstration
club, and already feel that we have
received full value for the 17 cent*
which is paid in taxes per taxpayer
per year.
Our club will be represented Mon
day, February 2fto discuss this mat
ter with our sister organization at the
meeting of the county commissioners.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. A. B. ROGERSON.
