Jan nary r.Tl ivi'.TrmviT^yrnvTTTvin^ Entered at the post office in Williamston. N. C., as second-class matter under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879 Address all communications to The Enter prise and not individual members of the firm. No Subscription Received Under e Month# Optimistic In Detail . Reaching our dost over a period of a few short weeks were several issues of the “Window Seat," written by Mr, W. D. Jamie son, former congressman from Iowa, who continued to watch Washington and jot down his humble observations, and his home-spun philosophy struck home, and real often made more sense than all the talk coming out of Congress. A few weeks ago he went back to his old home for a visit, and a short time later pass ed away. One of his releases, written back in October, was salvaged from a stack of | papers, and one or two items in it showed j his optimism even though he must have \ known that death was not far away. He j wrote: . It seems to me the signs of world peace are getting stronger and stronger. “We are letting our Democratic light shine So that the world sees it, and likes it. “The future of our country never looked brighter nor better, if we only curb monop olies that seek too much for themselves, either businesses or unions. “World trade gets better and .better; A great peace boon. “Our national income gets bigger and big ger . It will keep on doing so, with some ships. Our debt need not seriously bother us. “Boys and girls, lei me congratulate you that you are alive now. A great time it is, too, to be alive.” On his last trip home Senator Jamieson touched on another vilal subject when he j wrote: “• • • On this trip I found such an amazing ! indifference on the part of the laymen of j 'he church to the great truth that world peace can come only through religion. “I found a number of earnest religious I leaders, but indifferent followers. "In politics I could win election's when i i got the rank and file worked up. shouting for me and going out to bring in the votes. It’s the same way with religion. "Rut I do see some awakening signs.” f/mr Coinl In ) our U"ord? Bv Ruth Tn\lor How good is vour word? . The other day I was sitting in on an argu ment, listening to a group of men heatedly take a situation apart and put it together again. Finally one challenged a statement, 'to he countered with the name of the man who had made the original remark. The challenger quieted down, saying, “Well, it must be so then.” I said: “Bu1 I thought you didn’t approve of that man.” He answered: “1 don’t. I disagree with all of his conclus ions, bul his word is good and he is accurate with his facts.” New that sounded like good article ma terial, so I mentally went over the people I knew. Lots of those with whose conclusions 1 agreed, I found I did not quite trust on the facts. But I was heartened by the number of people whose word I would take whether or not the facts were to my liking. The average person isn’t intentionally dis honest. And a great many people whose words are not considered good by their friends would be startled to know they are really thought of as liars. They just “didn’t wait to get the facts;” they “assumed” what it hey wanted to say was so; they were “care less” in phraseology; —in short, they slur red over what would have spoiled their story. Like the copyist whose eyes and mind are tired, they drop out qualifying clauses—a word at a time- until in 1he end what they say hears little resemblance to the truth. How good is your word? Think over the men you know. The big ger they are, the more apt they are to be painstaking in their speech. One man, whose word is above reproach, always dif ferentiates by “This 1 know,” “It is my con sidered opinion that,” “This I have heard,” “I have not verified this fact.” You always know just what credence to give to each sen tence. What do men say of you? Do they believe what you say? Or do they listen with inter est—and then go check up on how much truth there is in it9 Or do they say “So-and so says such-and-such. But you can’t take | his word for it.” How good is your word? Would you follow a man in whom you could not trust? Of course not! Then if you would win to a position of prominence, re member that all places in the sun are places of responsibility. Be sure that your word is worth taking, that men may believe you, in order that they may believe in you. Men commonly think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learn ing and imbibed opinions, hut generally act according to custom.—Bacon. Many an honest man practices upon him self an amount of deceit sufficient, if prac ticed upon another, and in a little different way, to send him to the state prison.—Bovee. # AFTER THE BELLS RANG and you kissed your Best Girl or Best Beau for the New Year, you turned to clasp your neighbor's hand . . . and missed Jim Jones, who lives next door. He works for VEPCO, and it was his night for "the duty," but he'll wish you a Happy New Year sometime this week. Among the other 4,251 Vepcovians are many more of your friends and neighbors who live and work in Your Town , . . somewhere along Virginia's seacoast ... in the valleys of West Vir ginia . . . twenty minutes from the Nation's Capitol ... in northeaster” North Carolina ... or somewhere in between. Yes, you enjoy dependable, and abundant electricity through the serv ices of your friends and neighbors who work for VEPCO. And, like you . . . they treasure their American heritage . . . ihe right to be as successful as the individual's mind and energy will permit. Jim and any of the rest of us who missed you New Year's Eve would like to add our friendly wish to the others . . . A Happy, Prosperous New Year!
