Friday, February 2, 1934 Make Him Keep His Promise When Postmaster General Farley was cavorting around the country last fall for purposes in a large measure out of line and about and for matters that were no business of his, he thought nothing of com mandeering a government airplane or perhaps a friendly friends airplane and hopping off to Maine or Texas. The tables were turned on him this week, when the Senate committee began to question him. He began to cry, "I won't do it again," which is the exact lan guage of all naughty boys when they get caught up with. The former Postmaster General had to buy a big new automobile with an especially high top on it to accommodate his big silk hat. Now, our own Mr. Farley has to be called down for his high riding. It may be a case of two bad eggs. So make him keep his promise to be good in the future. The President's Greatest Step President Roosevelt's taking four billion dollars in gold from the bankers a thing which should have been done long ago—and converting it into seven and a quarter billions was the greatest game the President has played since he started on his trip to the White House. It is so funny to see the "old big boys" milling around without a word to say, or a thing to do about it, that the world is laughing right out in school. And the balance of us are enjoying ourselves because we are getting so much more to eat and wear and can pay POULTRY CAR WILL BE IN MARTIN COUNTY Three Days Next Week February 7th, Bth and 9th JAMESVILLE WEDNESDAY, FEB. 7 WILLIAMSTON THURSDAY, FEB. 8 ROBERSONVILLE FRIDAY, FEB. 9 — THE FOLLOWING PRICES WILL BE PAID: Colored Hens, lb. 11c Turkeys, lb. 13c and 10c Leghorn Hens, lb. , 8c Stags, lb. 8c Cocks, lb. 5c Ducks and Geese, lb. 8c The County agent, in cooperation with the Roanoke Mutual Exchange, has arranged for a poultry car to be placed on sidings for one day at each of the above places.

Brandon, County Agent IN COOPERATION WITH THS ROANOKE MUTUAL EXCHANGE oltr taxes, interest, and mortgages with so much less corn, cotton, peanuts, wheat, and tobacco, that we just cannot help laughing right in the face of Mr. Morgan, Mr. Mellon, and Mr. Mills. Oh, yes; big boys, we feel so much safer in Presi dent Roosevelt's hand than we did in yourg, why, we have gotten so we can breathe easy. We find our souls are our own, and we do not have to sprinkle a few drops of our heart's blood to glorify and enrich a bunch of every time we take a step. Go on, Mr. Roosevelt, yo'U are doing a splendid job. Ratification of the World Court We are glad to see many of the most prominent figures in American statesmanship appealing for the ratification of the World Court, for it is by far the most important of all our foreign policies, and will eventually save millions of lives and billions in mon ey. We have found the open court the best way which man has found to settle disputes between men and neighbors. And it will certainly help nations more than it has ever helped individuals. It may mean even more, since the science of killing has been made so complete. A world court may soon be the power that would save even the strong na tions, such as our own, from utter destruction and final annihilation. On the other hand, if the ratification of the World Court treaty never does anything for us except to help us find a way to help others, it will be an abun dant success. Let the Congress lay aside all sense of selfishness and agree with all people of the world to settls all differences on the code of equal justice to all. 6 Property Owners Probably Kicking Sales Tax Less Hertford County Herald. We have made no recent survey of the situation, but from our seat in the editorial sanctum, we can sense a lesser feeling of rank opposition to a general sales tax than that which prevailed so violently in some places about one year and even up to recent weeks and months. Why? Simply and solely be cause a certain proportion of property owners have already settled for the 1933 levy and invariably they found the total sum assessed against them to be much less than it was before our legislature enacted the sales tax law. * *- We predicted it would be so several months ago; and we are willing to stand by that opinion without a check up. In fact, already have we heard some com mendatory remarks about our sales tax from sources that were hostile and inimical a few months ago. The reason: The tax collector touched them for less than usual this year, and it was wholly and solely be cause of the sales tax. Sales taxes, particularly in border counties, will never, be popular; but what form of taxation was ever popular? The answer to that question is plain, inevitable, and always: None. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIBRARY? Some time ago there was talk a round town regarding a library to be built with CWA funds. Apparently nothing has come of the plan. Is it that there are insuperable difficulties, or is it that the people of William ston are just not interested? it is not the latter. And surely the difficulties are not too great if the people get behind the project Here is the report of the librarian in a town not much larger than this: "With a library of about 5,000 books, there were 30,000 loans during the year, an averagy of 6 loans per book. There were 23 stations where boxes of books were sent and loaned by re sponsible persons. Two hundred and forty-six books had to be discarded because they were worn out." This library has an appropriation of S6OO from the county and $l2O from the town. Certainly there are enough interest ed people here who will give their services in keeping the library, so the upkeep would not be large. Friends' would give books to the library, and funds could be raised to buy books. 1 In other words, ways can be found to Realize this need, if there are enough people who are interested. Let us 1 have more letters from those who feel j that Williamston needs a public li- ! fcrary. E. F. MOSELEY. | The Rectory, February 1, 1934. COLORED SCHOOL TEAM IN NO FIGHT Dear Editor Manning: The report that our basketball team J was in a fight at Plymouth, follow ing a game played there several eve nings ago, is erroneous. Wishing to have its record untarnished, I am ask ing you to please publish this denial. Never, since I built the basketball j teams several years ago, have they been in a fight. I have striven hlrd to have the one point in the Hi-Y slo gan—"Clean Sportsmanship"—so in culcated in the mind of the team of i boys aswell as of girls. So success-1 ful have we been in this that at the j end of the last tournament at Shaw University one of our boys—J. 1). Ev erett—was cited as being the cleanest in sportsmanship of the boys assem bled there from every part of North Carolina. Now, at Plymouth there was no fight, neither did J. 1). Everett get an •'ankle sprained as result of being hit with a brick. His ankle was wrench ed when he, in an effort to make a goal, ran into a part of the support of the backboard. It is a fact, how ever, that our team (boys) won by a score of 19-23 over Plymouth. They did not like it, and, being raw because of other defeats, evidently rocked my boys. There was no fight. E. J. HAVES. February I, 1934. KEEPS TURKEY MARKET LIST Value of Cooperative Action In Marketing Shown in Anson County e 1 lie value of cooperative marketing has been demonstrated by Mrs. Rosa lind A. Redfearn, Anson County home demonstration agent, who has been helping farmers and farm women of the county sell their turkeys. She keeps in close touch with a number of large markets and with the various farmers who have birds for sale. When a large order comes in, she notifies the farmers in her terri tory, and they cooperate in filling the order. When the orders ar escarce, she helps the farmers find other markets for their turkeys. Certain days are designated as turkey day, when the growers bring the birds to a central point to be inspected, graded, and shipped to various buyers. The largest shipping day in De cember was the 19th, when 700 tur keys, weighing 8,893 pounds dressed, were sent off. Two days later the ' same buyer asked for ,150 more birds j ' and agreed to send a truck around to I the different homes and collect the | birds alive, as the time was too limited j to wait for the farmers to pli»:k the 1 birds and take them to a central ship-' ping point. | "If we had not established our plan 1 of listing growers and the number of birds for sale," she said, "we could not have taken advantage of these fine orders." ■ ___ NOTICE, TRUSTEE'S SALE Under and by virtue of the power in me vested in a certain deed of trust executed to me on the 12th day of November, 1928, by Levi Hardison j and wife, which deed of trust is duly recorded in book U-21, at page 507, Martin County public regiatry, and the | or bond secured by the same not hav ing been paid, and at the request the holder of same, I shall, under tha trust therein, offer to the highest bid der for cash, at the courthouse door of Martin County, in Wiltiamston, N.
