Hertford County Herald Published Every Friday by VINSON * PARKER Owner* and Publishers J. Roy Parker.. Editor. Ju. S. Vism Maaager. Subscription Pric^ One Year ... $1.60 Six Months .76 Three Months ... .40 Ail.rp liting Rate* Very reasonable and made known on request. Entered as second-class matter February 26th, 1910, at the post office at Ahoskie, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3rd, 1878. The Hertford County Confederate Veterans will have their annual Re onion at Winton this year, and they are inviting the boys of the late war to be their guests on that day..The 14th day of August has been set as the great day. Just a few days more than a month now intervene before the opening of the Ahoskie tobacco market. The warehousemen are now busy making arrangements to take care of the lar gest sales they have ever enjoyed. Larger warehouse floor room and bet I ter facilities for handling the weed are now assured to those who market their product on the Ahoskie mar- | ket. Business people of the town j and section should take a just pride in the rapid development of the lo cal market, and they should throw every atom of their being into the struggle to make this market the very best in the entire state. It can be done with the proper backing and encouragement. Competition is pra ctically zero as regards the local market, and heretofore prices on this market have bettered the prices paid on many other markets. It is ex pected to uphold this pace during the year 1919. Every business house in Ahoskie should begin now to pre. pare for this big day in Ahoskie. Give the visitors a glad hand to the town; open your place of business I to him. It will be to your advantage for much money is derived from the sales of tobacco that is spent right here in our own town. The Herald expects to issue a special publication to celebrate the opening of the mar ket at Ahoskie. Some rather interesting politics has been pulled off in Hertford Coun ty recently. It was in connection with the appointment of a County Welfare Officer for Hertford. An announcement of the appointment is contained in an article on page one of this issue. It is and still is the policy of this paper to steer clear of political affairs; that is, this paper has long since stuck to the policy of adhering to no one party, faction or petty differences, preferring rather to speak openly and freely on mat Mrs pertaining to the public welfare, regardless of men, party or faction. Regarding the appointment of this officer, the HERALD fully believes, in the light of events that took place | prior to the legal appointment, that personal aggrandizement and polit ical influences played a large and im portant part in the final selection of that o.cer. The hasty action of ap pointing a man to that office without proper authority, the Herald believes and is free to state, was the direct cause of the failure of this tnan to receive the appointment. The Her ald was represented at the joint meet ing Monday, and to the close obser ver, it was evident that a majority of the two boards were intent on ta boadng anything that carried with it any suggestion of favoritism in mak ing the appointment. It was un fortunate that any attempt, whether willfully or on account of the gnor ance of the law. was made to give this office?an office of great mo ment and meaning so much to the welfare of the County?to any per son on account of political align ment.

True values are alway* equal value*, but the greatest expert can not equalize a series of falsehoods. When all the property in the state shall be placed on the books at its fair market value, many benefits will accrue to you, Mr. Average Citizen. 1. You will have the great sat isfaction of knowing that the record written by all of the people of the State is a true record and not a li bel on the commonwealth. This knowledge will greatly streghten the moral fibre of our state. 2. You will know that every dis crimination in taxation is wiped out and that every citizen is carrying his fair part of the burden. 3. As the values go up the rate of taxation will go down, and here after North Carolina will be known far and wide as a wealthy state with a low rate of taxation instead of a poor state with high rate of taxation. 4. The General Assembly has made a pledge not to collect, under the proposed true valuation of prop erty, revenues greater than ten per cent in excess of the revenues col lected under the present false val ues. This means that the total rev enues collected by the state shall not be greater than ten per cent in ex cess of the total revenues collected under the present law. This most emphatically does not mean that no particular citizen will have to pay taxes in excess of ten per cent of the amount he has heretofore paid. A particular citizen may pay less tax es than he has ever paid before. He may double what he has paid here tofore. This depends upon wheth er or not he has heretofore paid his fair share of the taxes according to his true worth. If he has paid more than his fair share the increase as to him will be less than ten per cent but if he has%aid less than his fair share ,the increase as to him will be greater than ten per cent. You, Mr. Average Citizen, "will at once perceive the essential jus tice in thus equalizing the public bur den. I call on! ybu to lend your vigorous support, first, by example, and then by precept, to this attempt by the General Assembly to build up a taxation system in North Carolina grounded on perfect truth and per fect justice. By so doing you will help to practically demonstrate that it is profitable in money and in morals to a people as well as to an individ ual to tell the truth and shame the devil. Sincerely yours, j T.

Banltary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of its untiring research Is the recommendation that It Is aa necessary to attend to Internal sanita tion of the drainage system of the hu man body as It Is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when wo arise, | splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, can. Instead, feel as fresh as a daily by opening the sluices of the sys tem each morning and flushing out the . whole of the Internal poisonous stag ! nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or | well, should, each morning before | breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In It to wash from the stom ach, liver and bowels Ihe previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, I sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach.

As a general rule there is nothing serious about a loss of appetite, and i if you (kip a meal or only eat two meals a day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals wheif meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should always elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to di gest and the stomach a period of ' rest before a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a reasonable amount of outdoor exercise every day you will not need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by constipation as is often the case, that should be corrected at once, A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it. ' ' ?; ????
