Snipes, For merly of Ahoakie. Write* About The Leaf ue to En force Peace. ?rr 1 Editor. Hertford County Herald; I As we are bow standing on the . brink of war with Germany and her < allies, the final consequence* of I which we know not, it behooves all | thoughtful people to be seriously < thinking of plans that will do away 1 with the foolishness and destructive- ? ness of all war among nations. I When the psychologocal time ar- 1 rives, we should be in the attitude i to execute well formulated plans to t that end. Recently, I was a guest 1 at the Bellevue-Stratford, in com- c pany with many others I heard dis- r cuss ions of the feasibility of such e plans by such eminent statesmen as r Ex-President Taft, Thomas Raeburn I White, The Marquis of Aberdeen r and Temair, and Charles C. Mich- 1 enerr Director of the field work of 1 the League to enforce Peace. This t meeting included representative I men and women of the United States / and other countries. , t Throughout five thousand years \ of recorded history. Peace, here and 1 there established* has been kept, I and ita ace* has Tjeen widened in e one way only. Individuals have fc combined their efforts to suppress n violence in the local commumity. g Communities have co-operated to s maintain the authoritive state and 1 to preserve peace within ita bordem. v States have formed leagues or Con- n federations or have otherwise co-op- a erated to establish peace among c themselves. Always peace has been s made and kept, when made and h kept at all, by the superior power t of superior numbers, acting in unity h for the common good. Mindful of t this teaching of experience, it seems b that the time has come to devise h and to create a working union of e sovereign nations to establish peace e among themselvfes and to guarantee li it by all known and available sane- F tions at their command, to the end a that civilization may be conserved, u and the progress of mankind in com fort, enlightenment and happiness p may continue. e President Wilson, Ex-President t; Taft, Viscount Grey, Secretary for 1 Foreign Affairs for Great Britain, F M. Briand.Premier and Minister of L Foreign Affairs of France, Dr. Von [ Bethmann-Hollweg, Chancellor of w Germany and many other thought- d ful Statesmen of all countries are r In favor of such a League. a Here are. the Proposals of the league to enforce Peace: PROPOSALS Vlrot' All iunticiable Questions arising between the signatory pow- V era, not settled by negotiations, h shall, subject to the' limitations of S treaties, be submitted to a judicial I tribunal for hearing and judgment, both upon the merits and upon any b issue as to its jurisdiction of the a question. ? S _ Second: All other Questions aris ing between the signatories and not tl settled by negotiation, shall be sub mitted to a council of counciliation e for hearing, consideration and rec- h ommendation. ? Third: The signatory powers ? shall jointly use forthwith both their n economic and military forces against f any one of their number that goes to war, or commits acts of hostility, against another of the signatories v before any question arising shall be j; submitted as provided In the__fore- ? going. ' Fourth: Conferences' between p the signatory powers shall be held , from time to time to formulate and codify rules of international law, a which, unless some signatory shall j. signify its dissent within a stated e period shall thereafter govern in the decisions of the Judicial Trib- p una! mentioned in Article One.

In the spring of 186$ at the Methodist church gate, in Wind&or I remember seeing my mother speak to Mrs. Littleton Johnson. That is* the first time I jver saw her. Mrs. Barber was lorn in Southampton County, Vir ginia, January 30, 1830. Her par snts were Jessie Woodard and his ,vife, who was Miss Elizabeth Hines. She married Mr. William Alexander Kemp, Glouster County, Virginia, December 7, 1862, and prior to the var they moved to Windsor where hey lived but a few years when her lusband died June 9, 1856. One iiild survived him, Elnora Kemp, ny boyhood friend-and schoolmate it the W;ndsor Academy. She narried my friend Mr. James A. )avig. After the war Mrs. Kemp narried Mr. Littleton Johnson, who ived five but years, dying April 29, 871. The three children who were ?orn to tftem are living; my friends Ion. Walter R. Johnson, Lawyer, Ihoskie; Luther L. Johnson, Ser reant of Polic^Phoebus, and Jessie Voodard Barber, farmer, Windsor. A ra Tnknann marriod Mr PViflrtm larber Feb. 12. 1877. He died sev ml years ago. No children were ?orn to them. Mrs. Barber leaves lineteen grandchildren and three Teat-grandchildren. Early in life he joined the Methodist chnrch. "he hope of meeting her at the ser ice'haa carried me to worship there a umber of times. Her's was indeed , ripe old age. There was no de ay in it, body, heart and mind ound and clear to the end. The and of death simply?untied he thread of life that boand her to er friends and loved ones and she rent to greater joy and happiness eyond. Her life took us. far back ?> the past. An excellent memory nabled her to bring forward inter sting events and people to the de ght of those she conversed with. - ler church membership was not imply nominal; it was a real devout nion of her self with the Master. Her friends were many and she rized them. She was a lady of xcelient mind and gentle disposl ion. Her funeral was held in the lethodist church yard on Monday, 'eb. 26, 1917, her pastor, Rev. D. i. Hayman,. reading the services, [era was a long and useful life filled rith good pure thoughts and gentle ?eds. She had well earned the est prepared for those who love nd serve the Love Lord. - , OAK GROVE ITEMS ?? # Mian Mitfie Lass iter, of Norfolk, 'a., i* spending several days with er mother, Mrs. J. R.

MOVIES POPULAR AS HEALTH EDUCATOR Health moving picture* like other progressive things, it seems, have a tendency to move westward. Last summer the motion picture health car of the State Board of Health [filled contracts in Union and Anson counties and since that time the pictures have been in demand by her counties of that section. The counties dated up so far for this feature of educational health work ar? Iredell, Rowan, Davidson, For syth, Lee, New Hanover, and the city of Greenaboro. Catawba, Lin coln and Wake, besides a number of towns and communities, have appli cations now pending. According to the State Board of Health, the health.moving pictures are making their own way. The services of an advanced agent are no longer needed. All that is need ed is a guarantee of the first week's expenses which are $90, and the "movie'outfit" does the rest. The records are that the audience for the second presentation is an in crease of about 25 per cent over the first, while the third shows about the same increase over the second. In other worda, the longer the pic tures show in a place or the oftener they return, the more popular do they become. It is understood, however, that each presentation is a new program of pictures. Another interesting thing con nected with these "movies" is the commercial benefit* that follow in their wake, particularly as far as 1 they affect dentists and druggists. For instance, a number of druggists ' themselves said that they have had to inciease their orders for tooth brushes and dental creams to meet the demand, while dentists were ; given more permanent jobs in a number of places. Then there's an aesthetic value that unconsciously follows. Homes and living condi - i 1 tions are improved and made health ful and attractive from the memo ries of the health moving pictures. 1 _ ' - /? ' I DEATH OFJNPAKTT On March the 9th, 1917 the little spirit of J. T. Harrell Jr. infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Harrell was wafted on angels wings into the the presence of God and his soul was ushered into that land of etern al day whence the night never com eth Ao more forever. Little J. T. was a very precocious child for his age and it was such a joy to watch his/ development from day to day. Many hearts are saddened because that happy little face and sweet smile will be seen no more in their midst. We cannot understand why this darling baby was taken just as he had grown so interesting and prom ised such a jewel to the home. But God's ways are not our ways, and there will be mysteries untill we see him "face to face" and "know even as we are known." Funeral services were held by pas tor H. H. Honeycutt Saturday after noon. After which the body ?U laid to rest in the family burying: ground. My heart goes out to the heart broken parents, sisters and little brother in this hour of trrief. Words cannot express my sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved ones. I commend them to the great Com forter who alone can heal their broken spirits. How lonely the parents shall be; but it will be only a few short years at most until they shall be united in that eternal home, heaven, where hearts are never crushed in part ing. T A little vacant chaiT is by the fireside; It fond voice is stilled; two little hands once busy with cherish ed toys lie folded over a still heart, but a new harp has been attuned in Heaven and the little hands ?are beckoning loved onea to the glory land.
