Entered as second class mail matter at the Postofi'tce at Plymouth, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, I8S7. __ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 161927 YVe Have The Goods "Our material and commercial advancement is very important," said a resident of Plymouth a few days ago, "But it is just as neces sary and essential to look to the ex ploiting of our citizens as it is to place before the public our com mercial advantages." The speaker then continued with a line of thought which per haps has not been seriously con sidered heretofore. He pointed out that it means much to a commun ity to have its citizens recognized in public affairs and in movements which tend to bring about better conditions in the city, the county and the state. The speaker pointed out that there are men in the community just as capable of handling big jobs as are to be found in any other com munity. There is just as much ability among our men and women he pointed out, as is to be found in the men and women of any other section. It was, therefore, his opinion that wherever possible, the men and women of this town should be allowed to accept and serve in public capacities and demand the recogni tion that they are justly entitled to. This, he believes, w ould be just as valuable to the town, as bringing here a new industry of one kind or another. t NOTES AND COMMENTS \ Its the laying hen that pays and advertises.

K lost people have tlic comfortable suspicion that they will some day be rich. Some of the most humorous jokes that wc have ever seen are walking around. Some men think that the fruits of a possible lawsuit is a source of livelihood. One form of farm relief would giv e us more farmers and fewer planters.
