Here is the way to encourage home en-
terprise. We see it stated that the Colds
boro furniture factory has been given the

Young man, if you are in the habit of
standing about the church doors and
windows smoking cigarettes, stop it. Such
conduct is not polite nor is it manly. AS
Henderson is assuming the dignity of a
city, the habit of whispering in church,
splitting tobacco juice on the iioor, or con-
gragating in front, should cease. We be-
licve there is as little of it here as any
where, but this hint is thrown for the bene-
fit of the few who do these things.
The way to encourage manufacturing
enterprises is to withhold aid and encour-
agement from all such. When two OF

courage them in the beginning. ii this i:
not the way to boom your town and make
it a great manufacturing centre, then soma
people have mistaken idea about sucl
things.
