mm ? ro PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY __ W. U. Smith, Editor and Prop ? AHOSKIE, N. C. Subscription Price: On* Dollar Per Year in Advance ( Advertising Rates: Very Reasonable and made known on J Entered aa second-clau matter Peb- ! ruary 26th, 1910, at tne post office i at Aboakie. N. C., under the Act of March X 1879. The death of Prof. J. Allen i Holt, one of the principal* of Osk i Ridge Institute, removes a man i wall known in preparatory school i work in the State. He w*%in his j sixty-second year. j \Colonel Roosevelt has broken the^sileoce and lias tried to get on ^ri|j|front page by claiming to be ?wftb Wilson in his stand on the Srardikn-American - controversy. The G tlonel is at times refreshing. mm?mmmmmmmammmmt+mm Several counties are putting on the anti-typhoid campaign and we 1 hope to see Hertford county inau gurate her campaign fur the pre vention of thja.much dreaded dis ease. We hope our health officer i will call attention to this matter. ?? The people are behind President Wilson. The Herald stated last week that he had grown every day since hi* entrance into the White House but at the time the editorial was written the resignation of Mr. Bryan had not been made public and we refer to the incident just because it followed so closely after the Herald had written its editorial "One of the most abominable practices that attend the selection of jurors at every term of the Halifax County cottrt is the usual happening of some fellow tieiug up the jury for a night or day just to get his expenoes paid while he is laying over in Halifax. Pretty soft money?especially to those who live near the County Seat? for loaf era to get their expenses paid by the County for disagree ing on a verdict."-Commonwealth. I Well, Brother Kitchin why did n't you point out the remedy? For a long time we have heard of the "professional juror," but there is a big difference io this class of people. There is a kind of set who hang around the court house during court, who are so idle that they actually stink loaferish and always agree with the majority without considering the evidence which they have aworn to do. Theaeare J>ad eggs and the Sheriffs, as a rule, spot them and carefully over look them when calling talis men in the box. But there is another set who appear to like jury service and usually sit in the court house and take ai, active in terest in litigation and are often called in the jury box and they give the case most careful attention and have opinions founded on evidence and reason and if the regular jurors happen to be figure heads, this "professional" will counsel them right and if tbey will not come to him, he is slow to yield to them and may keep the jury out all night. . But such a man is use ful and file lawyer who has a good case does not object to the latter class of "professionals" because he knows they are going to seek to do the right and give justice. So Brother Kitchio, not every talisman who keeps the {tane! out ull night belongs to the bad class. Good Roads Association.
