It cannot help but be classed as highly satisfactory and a success from all viewpoints. It was a mammoth occasion' and a day fill ed with pleasure for every partici pant and admiration for lion par ticipants. Kvery single event of the whole day was worth going to see. The crowd was estimated at twenty five hundred or three thou sand and it- was a throng of peo I pie truly representative of the whole county, and every part of the county was fully represented. Except for a brisk wind that rag ed nearly all day, creating an al most blinding cloud of dust, the weather was ideal, for the skies were clear and old Sol turned aloose some of his warm spring rays. Almost by ten o'clock the great crowds had assembled in town, and the wide, spacious streets were filled with conveyances of every kind from the farm wagon to the high powered automobile. The exercises of the da.v begun at 10 o'clock, when the fourteen hun dred school children formed into a double file line, each township lin ed up behind iU banner, which was borne up by two of Hie com mitteemen of that township. Tne several schools of the respective townships took up their positions accenting to the number of the district. The parade started from the high school grounds, and marched up to Main Street and on up to the Court bodSe. The J. T. Bai'ey Band, a bunch of trained musicians of K<<eltr Mount, marched just ahead of the parade, ami they were pre ce&9 by the six township mar slitUle. who went ahead to clear the streets. The judges of the pa rade were stationed on the second floor veranda of the Hine* Hotel, where the band stopped and play ed as the long line passed by on tbeir way to the Courthouse It was a well ordered line, and pre sented an inspiring scene. The judges later rendered tbeir decis ion in favor of the Ahoskie High School, whose long and almost per fect line had at once attracted the attention of the snectators. At the Courthouse the crowds assembled for the address of the day and presentation of certifica tes. The crowd was called to or der by Prof. R. E. Williams, and Rev?-C. L. Dowell offered prayer, after which Mr. G. E. Lineberry, of Chowan College, made a short speech. Hon. John E. Vann, a mam I war nf iKa P/iiinfv Hnu i'<i itf Education, in a abort address of welcome presented the speaker. Mr. C. E. Mcintosh, of Raleigh. Mr. Mcintosh's speech was brim ful of valuable statistics and useful suggestions. He dealt mainly with the problems confronting our pub lic scImoIs, and in the course of his remarks he gave an interesting comparison between the monelnry value of an educated and une<|uca ted life. Next came the presenta tion of certificates to the Seventh tirade pupils who had succseafelly passed the' examination. Recess was then given for dinner, which was served in picnic style. At two o'clock the declamation and recitation contests began at the Courthouse, and for over an hour or more the represntative boys and girls of the different schools poured out their eloquence in speeches and recitations. Ev ery one of these was a credit to the school represented, and theae exercises were among the most in teresting of the day's program.. The declaimer's medal was iward ed to Hallet E. Picot, of the Co ;ement at Winton a >rtford County. ies With Hard Work of >rces in Making it a Sue* : Wins Most of Prizes. m<? High School. and the reciter's medal to little Frances Lawrence, of the Un<ou School. The remainder of the day was devoted to the athletic contests, beginning at three o'clock on the school grounds. There was not a lull in-these activities from three o'cluc1'. till almost dark. Ahoskie was the winner in the majority of tliese events, taking the girl', bas ketball game, tennis tournament, potato races, and a great mafiy first places in the dashes and jump ing. The exhibits were placed in the High School building prior to the day of the Commencement, and they wei e open to inspection the entire day. They were a revela tion to a great many, and showed the veisatilitv and varied interests of the modem school child. As the spectators moved from room to room and from exhibit to ex hibit. they were foreiblv impress ed by the well arranged, unique and high class quality of the woik lieiug done in the' schools of the county. Ail of them were good, but those of Winlon, Holl.v (irove and Almskie attracted unusual at tention, the latter living the lar gest and the chief prize winner..

Mr. Williams actually favors additional financial reforms in Hertford County. I suggest the following: Int., All the higher county of ficers, such as Clerk, Sheriff and Register of Deeds, should be al lowed salaries, and all fees, die., they collect should go into the County Fuud. Their nresent in comes are too much. The writer received on an average some $700 or $725, gro?s, from all sources as Register of Deeds during the per iod 1876-80. It is reported that the uresenl incumbent received in 1015 some $2300. 2nd., The whole county should Ire consolidated into one road dis trict. The actual value of the an puratus of ensli township could be estimated, credited to sech town shin, and then charged up to 'the whole county, thereby making Murfreasboro and Maneys Neck part owners. As most of the heavy work in four townsnips lias already been done. The four ma chine-llow on hand will be suf ficient for the whole county there after. One Supervisor, from each township could be represented or. the County Board. 3rd., 'Three County Commie sinners are sufficient, as North ampton and other larger counties. There is some inclination for each Commissioner to speim^ a little more money in his respective town ship. There are so many now that the public can not place responsi bility. This suggestion has al ready been put iuto practice by a great many city governments, in all cases results in financial sav ing. 4th., The owners of stock >-f ev ery kind should he required to fence lliem in, so as to prevent tbem from tresspassing on others. Instead, now the ow-Hers of the vn'j'o oic im|uircu ui (jrumut mem wives, wlticli requires much more fenciiiK i? the county. Respectfully submitted. H. C. Sharp. Story _ 1.00 Best sewing, 3rd.

HERTFORD COUNTY FINANCES. ; v .? Mr. Kditor:?If you will tfrunt i the space in your paper. 1 wnnt to write a few lines to endorse the sentiment of the article jlj ( your lust issue by Mr. Williams, our ex-Ccmmisaioner, along the line of retrenchment, and to say fur ther, thai in in.v judgement, unless some ulan is foimed li.v which we can economize the use of the peo ple's money, there will he groan ings and muttering* by our lux payer*, that will be too grievous to be borne b.v the party in |a?w er or b.v the candidate., who are asking for their vote*. The aver age man's party loyalty is closely allied to his pocket book and when you assail that, his love for party, regardless of name, begins to wane and continues to sin ink, un til it gets so small that be will naturally inquire for the assailant, and prefer changes that will be so convincing that the defendant will be couvicted b.v the voters at the ballot box apd the sentence will be "you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting." The sverage increase of taxes in mv township last year was around 50% which increase has become a bur den, therefore the time seems to have come for the citizens to meet and demand retrenchment. Have an early meeting for that purpose is very much desired by a Taxpayer. IN MEMORY OF CONRED KING Having l>een unpointed by Holly Spring Baptist Church, to draw up resolutions in respect to bro ther Coured King, who was boru in Germany, May 5th, 1852. He was a soldier, and served in the France and German war. Came to this country about 35 years ago, moved in thia county in 1910, Joined Holly Spring Church in 1915. and died Murcli 18th, 1916. We hereby, resolve 1st.. That In the death of Brother King the community has lost a good citizen, kind friend, a loving father, and faithful Church member. 2nd. That though we feel the loss, it is his through eternal life, and we bow in submission to an all wise God. 3rd., That we tender our sym pathy to the bereaved children and family, and pray God's blessings and comfort on them. 4lh., That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the Resolu tions Ire sent to the Hertford Coun ty Herald for publication, a copy be sent to the bereaved family.and a cony be recorded by the church as a permanent record.
