Address an cunimuniiatit'iis to I lie Enterprise and not to the individtitil members of the firm. Tuesday. February 10, 1931 | ■ —■ Signs oi Improved Conditions One good sign of business improvement ie opening of no less than a dozen banks in the State within the |»ast six weeks. The reo|*ning of these institutioji's clearly shows that the nervous system of business/is becoming steadier and strunner. People now recognize that their pessimism had a great deal to do in bringing about the degression. Now that they sec how foolish it is to whine" and frown, they are whistling and smiling instead, This spirit alone will carry us at least one-third of the way to prosj>erity. Then the economy which we are to practice this year, coupled with the work and de termination we are putting forth, will carry us an other third of the way to normal times. By that time, things will he looking so good we will In* satis fied. and that within itself is prosperity.. Attacked ior Good He Has Done There is great rejoicing in the liquor camps I*- caiiM 1 ' of the punishment Bishop Cannon is receiving. The Bishop s critics generally are not against him because he gambled on the stink market, for they themselves ate gamblers worse that he. They are not against him because he has done a few things that may not have been becoming to a preacher of high rank, because they themselves uphold vice of all kinds at any time and everywhere. His critics, for the most part., are the folks that do the gambling, en gage in all the liquor violations known to man. The vice kings that rult- the devil dives are against him And somebody is spending large sum of money trying to discredit him. Never yet has e>ca|>ed the wrath of the un -jjgfiteous if he took 3. hand against their unlawful, ac tions. V It might be that Bishop Cannon is guilty of many crimes, that he should be punished, but l)e that as it may, the great hue and cry against him has not come on account of the evil he done; on the contrary, it has come-.from the evil doers because of the good he has dune. » The same type of crowd that crucified the Christ is still in the land Improve the Election Laws While the legislature is in session, it should take enough time to make a few improvements in our election laws, especially as they pertain to the ab sentee ballot section. Fraud is too easily practiced ' under the present regulations, The Threat of the Telephone Folks The telephone folks are lighting a raise in tax rates applying to them. Their game is to say if their tax is raised, they are going to the corporation commis sion and get their rates raised, thinking perhaps that threat will frighten the legislators. In case the tax is raised one cent per month on each telephone, watch and see if the companies don't ask for at least a raise in the rates of 25 cents per month. Generally speaking, the people who have telephones are more able to pay the tax, besides not more than ten per cent of the taxpayers have telephones. Why should the telephone investor make; guaran teed 8 per cent and the farmer and merchant lose 8 per cent? Increases Corn Yield by Turning Under Lespedeza Raiting hit corn yield (run) 15 bu shel* an acre to 50 kuxheU an acre largely by growing n( | turning under Icapedeza in the accomplii>hiuent of H. Roy Roger* of Person County. The corn was fertilized, also, with 300 pound* of %n 8-2-2 mixture and 100 pomd* of Chilean nitrate applied a* a side dresser, says H. K. Sanders, county agent.

Will the legislature put more tax on circuses or let it remain on corn, meat and other materials necessary to feed humans? ' rt Now is a good time to speak out.

Chicken and Eggs for the Farmer The price of eggs is lower now than for many years at the particular season of the year. Farmers through out the country have increased their poultry flocks, I and the "hard times" have decreased the consump- I tion. bringing lower prices. Eggs are a fine food, especially for young people. With eggs selling at fifteen cents per dozen, it would pay the farmer to eat them, and there is not better time than now for the farmer to eat ham and eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner. The hog and the hen guarantee these two nourishing' fo»>ds. Then there i> the cow to furnish milk, cream and butter. Any one-horse farm can produce these foods, and if we are wise we are going to have something good to eat in hard times as well as in good ones. figure how much time and labor are required to raise chickens and gather the eggs, to raise the h s ogs and smoke the meat, to milk the cow and stir the cream, and see if the tasks are as hard as those necessary to raising tobacco, a crop that countless numbers of farmers have lost money on, j- A Lime Land for Better Peanuts I.ime jx*anuts for good quality and greater yields. According to the advice of some of the largest peanut dealers in the country, the quality and weight of peanuts can Ik- increased as much as 50 per cent on most land by a liberal use of lime. Martin county is especially noted for poor quality peanuts in comparison with the crops raised in Ber tie, Northampton, Hertford and other nearby coun ,ties. There is no doubt but what the Martin county crop last year would have sold for a third more cash money if farmers had given more distance in plant ing, used more lime and exercised more care in dig ging, stacking and picking:- Neglect in properly drying and curing peas h is decreased the price half in hundreds of cases. Farmers must remember that the day for bagging the whole field and selling the col'p tir.n as |)eanuts is past. Good, clean, large and dty p.- nuts are the kind that the trade wants. Huge Profits Just think, the American Tobacco Company, the K. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company made clean and clear of all costs last year the enormous sum of $100,758,979, money enough, if in dollar bills to girdle the earth, ten times. Some profit for the companies. The tobacco far mers can't pay their taxes or their fertilizer bills. More Liberties When Courts Rule Dr. K, B. Hayes, of Orange county, held out to the end in his refusal to give testimony before the judges of the workmen's compensation court held in Hillsboro. He refused to testify because the court refused to |>ermit him to testify as an expert. The result was that the doctor is now sending ten days in the Hillsboro jail for contempt of court. So far as the case is concerned, we know nothing, but the. fact that the courts are able to enforce their order is clearly demonstrated. We find that liberties are greater where courts rule the peopfe rather than where each person is permit ted the freedom to follow his own will. Forest Fires With dry weather prevailing during the |>ast sev- | eral days, fires have burned many acres of timber and woods lands. Some of the fires did very little dam age because they were checked soon after their start by landowners. Many of the fires have been started by thoughtless people, people who care little and ac tually fire the woods out of mischief or carelessness. Fires sweeping sections of the county last fall de stroyed hundreds of thousands of trees, many of them valuable ones. In tße stTrTy swamps, the Are burned the surf roots and even the ground from un der the trees, toppling them down until in some places they could lie counted by the hundreds. Land owners need to guard against the promiscuous burning of woods. More punishment should be met ed out to those who burn for mischief or through carelessness. missioner will on Saturday the 14th day of February 1931 at 12 o'clock M. in front of the Courthouse door in the town of Williamston, N.

Ly J an. eg D. Taylor I The Home Provider | I was a visitor in tht home of farmer sometime ago, or a 'family provider' to describe him more ac curately. He told me that years axo, j following in the footstelps of his fa j ther, he raised nothing but money crops, buying food for his family and feed for his live stock. He soon found himself not only heavily in debt with his small farm mortgaged but met with difficulty in obtaining further, credit. A family without food, his j I live stock almost gone and no feed j for the rest. He had reached the cross roads of his life, not knowing which one to take. Possibly all would lead him the wrong way. \ He was floored. Just as well lay there. He had heard the count of nine. His thoughts turned to his! child just learning to walk. It fell j j down time after time hut got right I up again. Then he knew that the bell, had rung before the count of nine and he still had a chance to win the fight, but he would use a different l punch this time. He did and years' ago he completely knocked out. his 1 opponent-adversity, the result of poor management. j. He proudly took me over his place. He was now making his own living, raising his own vegetables, providing his own milk and butter, I filling his smokehouse wth meat from hogs he raised. Plenty of chicken and ! eggs from his yard and producing sufficient feed stuff for his live stock. i He is a home provider first. His I mon&y crops come second. He said it is surprising how little money is required when one's living is made right at home. Also how much more money will buy than credit. He does i not raise a big money crop but what he does is good and usually brings a good price. He is able to put a large |>art of the money in the bank. His son is almost grown now and soon will be ready for college. He ■ is prepared to send him. He pointed out the various build ings on his place, newly |>ainted, and said that he and his son did the job and paid for most of the paint with tash from the sale of eggs, butter and chickens that they did not need. As 1 left him I could not help won dering whether we would hear so much about overproduction and far mer's relief if all farmers had been following his system.
