Br Mall outsida lint Mall Zona—*3.50 par yaa* Never iorget that the editorial* in The Newt are the opinions of one man, and he may be wrong. monopoustic At the time the new Malt Beverages Division of the State Alco holic Board of Control was set up there was unanimously pleasant reception of centralized control over licenses for dispensers of beer, but now that this infant organization has begun to emerge from its swaddling clothing it becomes more apparent every day that the biggest purpose of the so-cijjled centralization is to promote the wel fare of the big, well-established brewers by the elimination of young, less entrenched competition. Of course everything in the realm of alcoholic beverages is more or less controversial and many will agree that it is fine for the big brewers to run the little boys out of business. This, however, is a most un-American approach to the let ter and the spirit of the. free enterprise system which has meant so much to this country and whose name has been so frequently taken in vain. Monopoly by governmental order is no less wrong than monopoly that results from cohesive cartel action on the part of pri vate business. ——-- ' . —rvr~'■ ■; i!' ' * OPPORTUNITY UNLIMITED In die columns of this newspaper this week is an advertisement which offers opportunity without parallel to young women. It offers the prospect to «limited number of student nurses in the beginning September classes at, the Memorial General General Hospital in Kinston. It is not an opportunity f0r any weak sisters.' From long obser vation at student muses and graduate registered nurses we know they have ho easy job, either in the confining, hard work as students or in their vital responsibility as professional nur$es. No other field offers a young woman, for her efforts alone and no large outlay :of cash, the chance to make for herself a place of such dignity, respect ahd independence as does a career of nursing. We do hot Ipow a nurse in a long acquaintance as an interested by stander and as the hebless object oitheir ministrations who ever regretted, the rigid training for the goal achieved. t,” it not entirely true. The allegation of f against Lenoir County in an inspiredletter Sanatorium last spring did hurt, not only morally physical reaction. It has been reported to us that the inference in the letter than Lenoir County’s patients at the institu tion would be 'discharged caused some to suffer physical relapses froni ainE^y- They had to be individually assured that their treat ment would be continued in order to quiet their hysteria. The, settlement this past week of the $2,252.97 in claims as at December 31, 1948, for the amount of $1,414.48 showed conclusively that someone made a grievous error of judgment In that settlement four of the fubercular cttses were nod even Lenoir County’s respon sibility, and two'of the remaining 11 were found to be only a partial responsibility. ' ' . ; ' It is to be hoped that the lesson learned from the unfortunate circumstances will be a-guide to all in the use of the written word. It is not possible tp claim misquotation on something written by your own hand. Chairman Willie Measley of the Board of County Commission ers and County Attorney Tom White did a good job in clearing UP a mess extremely distasteful. to their county. We hope that the question of Lenoir County’s responsibility for indigent patients at the State Sanatorium is settled for keeps, i Passed Away | HENRY O'NEAL TILGHMAN 67-year-old sawmill operator of near Dover died in a Kinston hospital on Saturday.

Thomas and> Joe Koonce, Jr., agree that tobacco diseases showed up on a lot more farms in their respective coun ties this year than last, but both also /agree that the total damage will be less since areas in which the diseases were most damaging last year were planted in disease reistant strains of tobacco this year. Again as in. the past several years both agents point out the absolute necessity of having any and all tobacco killing diseases natively identified so that the right type of tobacco may be planted next year to prevent heavy losses. To plant wilt re sistant tobacco in an area infect ed with black shank is equal to tobacco suicide, the agents point out — New Stock Agent Reports Lenoir County’s new agricul tural agent for livestock reported for duty on Monday.
