In regards to the Bonus Bill, we
should say that the spirit was wil

All Herald correspondents are urg

this be kept in mind.

Not safe to depend on March
weather. Nor on Hertford county
roods. Both of these factors were
the cause of the postponment of the
"big day," in Aboskie, staged for
Saturday, March 4th. Travel with
roads and weather of the sort we
have been favored with for the last
month is virtually impossible. Poets
sing of Spring; and well they might,
with roads and weather in their
present condition.
"
We are at a lose to know just what
adjectives to apply in describing the
streets, or what used to be the streets,
of our town. Ordinary descriptive
phrases fail to put the idea over.j
For the past two months, Ahoskie'a
name has been "mud," while the
"lizzies" have all rusted up during
their long period of rest It Is
hoped that Spring weather will hasten
possible the working of the thorough
fares of out town, for, most as
suredly they are sorely in need of
* attention.

With this issue, a slight change oc
curs in the Herald force, as regards
to the writing department; the edi
tor having journeyed to a far country,
leaving the remainder of the force
with the bag to hold. However, it
?will be the purpose of the ink
stingers now in charge to maintain
the same high standard which ha
characterized the Herald for so
gjmany years past, and to keep in mind
at all times the interests of ou
readers, as has been the policy of
this paper since its initial issue, 13
years ago. ]

Court week is always attended with
unexpected & happenings. The
"twelve good men and true" prob
ably have, or have not, revived from
the shock sustained last week, when
an Ahoskie citizen, testified that the
character of the average man in
Ahoskie was on equal with one whose
name suggests anything but charac
ter, and is familiar to all. The
question is, whether the impression
left on outsiders by this unpre
cedented statement was taken liter
ally, or regarded as preposterous.
If the former was, and is the case,
pity be with the men of Ahoekie;
that is, in the eyes of outsiders. It
is still unknown as to whether the
ettisen who made the above men
tioned statement considers himself
an "average citisen" of Ahoskie, or
above the averageT Evidently
"above the average," and several
~ ' miles above, is the word, for it goes
without saying that no self-respect
ing citizen would m ake such a state
ment, nnleaa in his own sight, he was
far beyond the pale of ordinary men,
as regards to "character." of the
town upon which he thus threw re
flections. Which all goes to prove
the theory that county courts, in
land of being a ber of justice, are
fsst becoming a rendezvous where
corrupt lawyers meet, and disregard
their calling, the queet of justice at
all coat, end allow the power of
aseney to stand between them and
the enforcement of the written law
af the land, the enforcement of

Thia is the flnt week the Hertford
County Herald hma been under new
management in the paat seven yean.
Mr. J. Soy Parker, former Editor
left us last week for Logan, West
Virginia, where he has accepted a
|. position as city editor of the Logan
Democrat, daily paper of that city.
Well, I guess Mr. Parker was a right
big man for a small town like this,
but this is good enough for me, and
I intend to stay here until I get
rich or starve or die or old age.
The new management wishes the
hearty co-operation, of the good
people of this entire section, and with
your help we will try to give you onjf
?f the beat weekly papers in the
.citato. ? We ftre ?q?re of'-^|jpIl?
that we have got Wfo^^ove on
us to give you as good a paper as
you have been receiving, but we in
tend to do our best.
We wish Mr. Parker all the sue

field, and we sincerely hope he will
honor us occasionally with a contri
bution from his pen.

necessity of an international language i
was forcibly borne upon him whan at
tending the recent meetings of the 1
league of Nations at Geneva.
"If you spoke la Baalish." he said,
"it was translated Into French; if
In French it was translated into
English, and if anybody knew neither
English nor Frqpch, that was his own
lookout." _
On the whole, he thought the Sta
tural way out oftffie difficulty would
be tor the league to recognise one of
the two artificial International lan
