BETTER wan.

Those who are in a hurry to
declare that prohibition will be
a failure in North Carolina bet
ter wait until the law has been
in effect a year or two. 1t is
hardly probable that the vote
for prohibition which is to take
effect next January will have
the tendency to curtail the sale
of Intoxicating liquors SIX
months before the time. The
rather will the tendency be to
increase the sale of liquor from
now until January. Perhaps
some who are quite fond of it
and think they will be unable
to get it after January may
drink more than usual to make
I'D for what they think they
will lose after the law becomes
effective. And there are doubt
less some who will be simple
enough to think they can bring
prohibition into disrepute be-
fore the time by encouraging
free use of liquor for the next
few months.

TROUBLES WITH LABOR.

The Southern Cotton Associ-
alton has done a great deal for
the South in it's efforts to hold
cotton to a reasonably good
price, and as one result
the people of the country
have high regard for the good
influence of the organization.
Recently it has been suggested
to the editor of THE COMMON
WEALTH that the farmers,
either through the Southern
Cotton Association Or some 9TH
er medium, should do some
thing with regard to the labor
question. And we believe
something ought to be done to
protect the farmers against
such as designedly or through
carelessness put employers to
great inconvenience. For in
stance, a laborer sometimes en-
cages to work for a certain
number of months, say until
the crop is laid by, and in the
very busiest season walks off
and leaves his employer with
out a single provocation or a
word Of explanation.
On the strength of the prom
Uses of his laborers the farmer
buys team, prepares his lands,
purchases fertilizers and plants
his crops. But at the critical
time of cultivating the crop,
his laborers take a notion to
"knock off" a few days, or
perhaps quit for good, and the
farmer sustains a great loss
and is put to untold inconveni-
ence.
There should be protection
against such things, either by
thorough organization of the
farmers, or by a law that will
mean something. When a
laborer thus wilfully commits
such acts that will put his en-
ployer to inconvenience and
cause him loss, such offender
should be punished by law.
Will the farmers take this
matter up and put themselves
on record in a way that will
tend to bring about relief?
The subject is worthy of care
full study and the united efforts
of the farmers for their own
protection.

DR.. Mercef'S Son Drowned.
fp,..v Mount Record June 1ath.)

(Roeky Mount Record June 13th)
The community was shocked al
most beyond expression, Friday even
ing when the intelligence was fash
ed over the city that young Broadus.
Mercer, son of DR.. l. M. Mercer,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
was drowned while in swimming
with his brother, Charles, at Whit
ley's rock, q popular resort for
young bathers, about two miles from
the city. Broadus, in company with
his elder brother, Charles, went to
the river about five o'clock for a
swim. The younger one undressed
first and went out to a sand bar, and
in returning to the bank he was sup
posedly seized with cramp and sank
in the swirl at that place. When he
arose he cried to his brother to come
to his assistance, which he did, as did
Mr.. J. D. Denton, who was gather
ing wheat in field near by, Mr..
Denton plunging into the water with
his clothes on. Their efforts proved
in vain and young Broadus sank for
the last time before their eyes and
was beyond all human aid when his
body was recovered from the river
35 minutes later by Mr.. Roy Wilt
ford, who was brought to the scene
from his home half a mile away, by
the commotion at the river.
Physicians had been summoned
and several worked for to hours to
resuscitate the drowned lad, but it
was evident that it was hopeless
task from the first. Artificial re-
spiration and all Observation-Disclosures
jured methods were employed, but
with a sad heart the grief-stricken
father realized that it was all to no
avail, and that his son was dead.
Carey Broadus Mercer was 6years
old and younger son of DR.. Mercer.
He had but recently graduated from
the Rocky Mount High School with
high marks, and his young life gave
promise of useful career. He was
member of the First Baptist church,
of which his father is pastor, and a
member of Baraca class of that
church. Always diligent in his
duties, industrious and cheerful, he
was loved by all who knew him, and
they will each regard his untimely
and sad death as a personal loss.
The funeral took place at the First
Baptist church at 2:3O this afternoon
and his body was taken to Richmond,
Va, on 80, and inferred in that city
Sunday afternoon.
The tragic death of young Broadus
is peculiarly sad one to the family
and the more so because it accen-
tuates the gloom already cast over
them by recent deaths, that of the
father of Dr.. Mercer, which occur
red in Richmond a week ago, and
the death Of Mrs. MERGERS father
recently. The sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out to them in
their large share of bereavement.

pronounced it local disease and pre-

has proven catarrh to be constitu-

constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

VOW IS THE TIME.

This is the month in which
people list their property for
taxation and it lies with each
individual to place the proper
estimate on his property, "to
the best of his knowledge and
belief"
Quite a deal has been said
during the past few years
about the indebtness of Halifax
county. Several years ago this
paper said editorially that there
was no good reason why this
county should be so in debt.
We have said repeatedly in
these columns, and we repeat
it now, that if the property is
properly listed for taxes, the
taxes properly collected and
the money properly disbursed,
Halifax county should have
mo- to lend rather than be
forced to the necessity Of bor-
rowing. This matter lies with
those who place the value on
the property, those who collect
the taxes and those who spend
the money.
We say again, as we have
said repeatedly before, that
Halifax county is no poverty
ridge, and its great resources
are such that properly valued,
the taxes properly collected and
the money judiciously spent,
we should have a full treasury
all the time. Now, then, it is
up to every man i'll the county
who swears before a list-taker
to the value of his property, to
make the value an honest one
and bear his equal share with
others in the proper tax levy of
the county.
Doubtless some who have
done the most kicking
about financial matters in
the county have not been
quite as diligent about the
value of their property when
they listed it as they would
have been had they been selling
at cash consideration. Now
is the time to get this matter
straight. The listing time is
when all can do their full share
in giving proper value to their
property. The list takers are
not to place an estimate on the
citizens property, but the citi-
Zens are to do that themsel-
yes.
1t is rather a hard sling at
somebody when the newspapers
assert that this is the season
when property values shrink
wonderfully, but the newspap-
ers will keep on saying such
wicked things as long as they
think that about half the men
who value property for taxa.
ton dodge the truth.

and writing for his own pc
cuniary interest. An editor can
write about progress in every
other branch of business and
stand a good chance of being
somewhat applauded, but he
must handle the subject of ad-

the risk of being called a "shop

lowing very timely editorial
observation by the Wilson
Times: 1.-The best investment
q city can have is a live, up-to-
date newspaper, that by it's

ana news matter, more el0-
quently than words, tells the
world of the prosperity of the
city. No city can grow unless
1t continuously adds new life,
new energy and new capital,
end who wants to live in city
not able to sustain a good
paper? Don't say it does not
pay to advertise. If you can't
see where the paper brings
trade, it will pay you to keep
an 'ad' in it's columns in order
to help sustain it, that the COM
munity may be benefited as a
whole. For out of the whole
