[ Hertford County Herald ? 1^mmmmMHmamtB? HERTFORD COUNTY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER A PAPER WORTH WHILE NOT X BALKER, BUT A PUSHER ? VOLUME X. (SIXTEEN PAGES) AHOSK.IE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1919 (ONE SECTION) No 36. HON. JOSEPH G. CAMP TO MAKE SPEECH Connected With the Anti-Sa loon League of America in Work. HAS BEEN A LYCEUM LEC TURER FOR SOME TIME American Anti-Saloon League Will Help in Many Other Countries. Hon. Joseph C. Camp, of Georgia, "The Imperial Ora tor of the Southland", will ad dress the people of Ahoskie and vicinity at the auditorium of the Ahoskie High School on Friday night, December 19, on "Uncle Sam's Relation to the New World Conditions.". AH are welcome to this meeting. An offering wiU be taken to aid in financing the World Prohi bition Movement. Admission free. The Hon. "Joseph" has just completed eight seasons of Ly ceum lecturing. During this period he has appeared on over 1,300 Chautauqua platforms, and we have never heard any thing in regard to him but the highest praise. Such men of prominence in his own State as ex-Governor Northern, Sena tor Clay, Ex-Governor Atkin son, Senator Bacon, Gen. J. B. Gordon, Hon. Clarke Howell and Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, laud him in glowing terms. In view of the decision made Jfjr the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday, the address of Friday night will be even more interesting, and will probably contain, among other thins?, a vast storehouse of in formation secured by the sta tistical bureau of the Ameri can Anti-Saloon League. The following extract is ta-j ken from a tract announcing the coming of Mr. Camp: "With Prohibition achieved in both the United States and Canada the next logical step is to extend Prohibition around the world. the World Prohibition Conference in Columbus, Ohio, November, 1918, delegates com ing from many nations, both Eu ropean and Asiatic, appealed to the Anti-Saloon League of America to help inaugurate in their country the methods ?Tiere. This appeal was renew ed at the Conference in Wash ington, D.C., in June, 1919. In response to this appeal the "World League Against Alco-] holism" was organized. The Anti-Saloon League already maintains English HeadquarterI in London, with W. E. Johnson i in charge. It has a Spanish-1 American Department under the direction of Rev. R. E. Far ley and has representatives al ready in many foreign capitals. "A1 nations stretch out ap pealing hands to America and cry "Come over and help us." America will eagerly respond to the call. Anti-Saloon Lea gue methods which have won here will win there." * Thta paper elnbt with the Vlr (ti? an-Pilot.

CONGRESS IS TAKING A HAND IN THE MATTER Conir?ssional Committee Lis tens to Pleas of Small Publishers. ? ' * ? "* Washington, December 15. ?Provisions of the Anthony bill which would limit the size of daily newspapers to 24 pa ges daily and periodicals using the second-class mail privelege in order to conserve newsprint paper, were commended and opposed by more than a score of newspaper and magazine publishers today before the house postoffice committee. Opposition from the measure came chiefly from the repre sentatives of the larger news papers, who declared that re striction on the size would do little to remedy the situation resulting from the shortage of paper ,and would serve only to work a great?if not fatal? hardship on the large newspa pers of the country. The bill was supported by publishers of small newspaper who declared they would be forced to suspend publication unles something was done. In opening the hearing, Represen tative Anthony, of Kansas, au thor of the bill, declared that from 2,500 to 5,000 small news papers face suspension, and perhaps extinction, should the present shortage of newsprint paper continue. The shortage, the Kansas Representative declared was due to the action of the great publishing concerns in buying up practically the entire avail able supply. Suggestion that an embargo be placed on coal to Canada j until Canadian newspapers, i which-, he said, were using all !the newsprint they desired, ag | reed to submit to the satns con servation program forced on the newspapers of the United States, was made by H. L. Ro gers, business manager of the Chicabo Daily News. This ac tion could be justified, he added by the fact that Canadian pulp mills ued American coal in mak ing their product. The prospective shortage of print paper for 1920 was esti mated at 200,000 tons by Frank P. Glass, publisher of the Bir mingham, Ala., News and pres ident of the American publish ers' association. He predict ed, however, that relief from shortage would come within six months. Congress, Mr. Glabs declared should give the Federal Trade Commission full power to han dle the entire news print sit nation or should appoint a pa per controller with powers sim ilar to those of the fuel admin istrator. 0 See that the label qn your paper ta dated In advance, If you want the Herald to continue coming to Tour hOB,#- ..*/ COLERAIN NEWS Rev.

Lackey, of Win too. Will Have Charge in This County. ??? - ? CHAIRMAN IN DRIVE FOR FUNDS IN FEB'Y State Officer* Are Hoping That Hertford County Will Go Over. Raleigh, Dec. 18.?Announce ment has'just been made that Rev. B. M. Lackey ,of Winton, has been appointed chairman of the Armenian and Syrian Re lief campaign in Hertford Coun ty and selected to put the coun ty "over the top" in the drive for the adoption of homeless hildren of the Near East. The newly appointed chairman will soon begin his work which will include a Christmas appeal in . behalf of hundreds of naked hungry and hopeless little ones who are today pleading for the Americans to give just a mor sel and place to lay their heads | in peace. In accepting the responsibil ity of the relief work in this County, the newly named chair man is expected to have no trouble in securing adoption of the county's quota of orphans. He will have the assistance of loyal workers and will wage this drive with the confidence that characterized his previous war efforts during similar cam paigns for relief. The mission of the Near East Relief is almost identical to that of the American Red Cross and in some instances both organ- _ izations are cooperating in {giv ing the necessary aid to the suf ferers in Armenia and Syria. Many prominent Americans including William H. Taft, Varice McCormick, Cleveland H. Dodge, Governor Runyan of New Jersey, William Jennings Bryan and others have become interested in the Armenians and Syrians and the same en thusiasm has reached North Carolina. In this State Gover nor Thomas Bickett, Dr. Cla rence E. Poe, Joseph. G. Brown and Col. Geo. H. Bellamy and many others have aligned with the cause. State Chairman Geo. H. Bel lamy has accepted the leader ship of North Carolina and he is now organizing his forces to carry this grand old State "ov er the top" fo rthe little ones.
