I I THE AMfJMTAN PBCn ASSOCIATION | Friday, April 7,1922 April the first ia the first day on which we are reminded Wh# we are on the other 364. ??0 The difference between a man and a woman ia that a man looks forward, and a woman remembers. j o : If brevity is the soul of wit, we surely have some witty dames in and around Ahoskie, if the application is made in regards to the longitude of those thing called skirts. 0 And now comes a Baptist editor who says that young people should be encouraged to make love in church. Our observations have been to the effect that they don't need the encouragement. ?0 We regret that the letters of sev eral of our correspondents were omit ted from last week's Herald, but we ha*en to state that it was thru no fault of our own. The lirfotype, the sole dependence, in the matter of typesetting in the Herald office, play-1 *d "hookey" last week, and refused to "go", except by careful coaxing, and then only at intervals. Correspond ents are informed that in no way were their letter omitted, except on this account. Thusly they appear in this issue. (V Conditions in and around Ahoskie, as applied to the number of delin quent taxpayers, seem to add proof to the adage that "History repeats it self. It is understood that the exist-1 iug state of affairs, in the matter of I unpaid taxes, are in no manner unlike those of last year. It ia a regretable fact, but at the present time no way seems open for a possible remedy ex cept for every property-holder to put forth all efforts possible to pay his taxes at the earliest possible date. It >s yet to be seen whether conditions reach the semi-desperate stage as they did last year in regards to this. -0 ? *??*???? * e ? ? ? THE OUTLET ? ? Fools?God bless >m, what would we do if everyone in Ahoskie were wise. 0 ? A good many of Ahoskie's fair sex seem to think that Easter is Dec oration Day ?0 There is much criticism of the high cost of living, but it is the high cost of loving that troubles most young fellows. 0 When Nature forgets and leaves out the filling of a skull, she usually makes up the deficit by proVidnig an unusually efficient tongue. If nature bad not been so forgetful along this line, and bad endowed more local chin-waggers with something in the upper story, and a leas active tongue, there might be less of the element of scandal in our town, both in the past and at the present time. 0 When women speak of Ibve, how they love to speak. 0 Spring is nearly heke, and with it comes the robin, flowers. Ashing, styles, Easter, spring fever, and other thing. Young men whose fancies are liable to turn lightly to thoughts of ?wall, you know, are advised to go slow. Eve hypnotized Adam and made him cast away the empire of the earth for a scrubby apple, and ever since that time her fair daughters having been making men imitate their forefather's folly. Cupid is on a rampage?go slow and easy, he is a tough bird to compromise with. 0 And the crime waves in the big cities is another thing that Ahoskie doesn't have to worry about Advan tage in living in a email town, The 1922 Primary Election Cal endar publiahed by the State Board of Elections in Raleigh on Saturday formally launched the off-year elections and served notice upon the aspirants for thirty-flve State sena torships, twenty solicitorahips, eleven Superior court judgahipe, ten con gressional placet, and one each for the Corporation Commission and the State Supreme court to comply with the regulations governing primary contests. The calendar ia as follows: April _ 16?Meeting of county boards of elections for appointment of township registrars and judges of elections. April 22?Expiration of time limit for filing noM* - candidates for seat, and payment,of entrance fees. April 27?Registration books open. May 20?Registration books close. May 20?Last day for county candidates and State senators to fUe notice of candidacy. Senatorial candidates Ale with the State board and county officers with their county boards. May 24?Last day for Aling state ment of campaign expense accounts. June 8?State-wide primary. ? Only two State officers are to be nominated in June and neither of the present incumbents has any opposi tion for re-nomination thus far. With the possible exceptions of the Fourth and Ninth districts, the Con gressional contests will not be con tested this year. W. T. Lee, chairman of the Corpora tion Commission, whose term expires this year, while making no formal announcement of his candidacy thus far, intends to go into the primary, and as yet no opposition has devel oped. Justice W. J. Adams, ap pointed to serve in the place of the late Justice Allen, will seek confirm ation of his appointment in the pri maries. Two weeks- remain for Aling notice of candidacy with the State Board of Elections, and many a battle can, and possibly will be precipitated from quiet-seeming districts before the two weeks have run. Thus far the campaign has developed little that indicates general interest in the bal loting that wilt take place eight weeks hence. n ?' U ? JOBS ARE PLENTIFUL; POSITIONS ARE SCARCE Plenty of jobs but few positions continued to be the status of the employment situation in North Caro lina, according to the weekly review issued yesterday by Director M. L. Shipman who reports 689 requests for help coming into his,offices* and only 666 people applying for work. Skilled and unskilled labor no longer go empty-handed when they apply for work. It is the clerical and professional class, and the truck driving class of applicants that are finding little demand for their serv ice. Other plademedts outnumber them at airatio of eight to one. Carpenters and brick-masons are scarce enough to be regarded as in the light of a shortage.and unskilled labor and farm labor are in bigger demand that at any time within the past year. The situation is very hopeful, Mr. Shipman believes, and with the return of the skilled and unskilled trades to work, other busi ness will inevitably improve. Wilmington and Charlotte report the heaviest demand for help during the week, the former with 116 and the latter with 104. Other offices re port as' follows: Ashville, 81; Greensboro, 43; Raleigh 87; Winston Salem, 83. Total placement^ for the week reached 613. Lumberton has two candidates for mayor who have some striking points in common: the initials of each are E. M., each is blind in the same eye, and each is a lawyer. If nobody else offers Lumberton's next mayor will be one-eyed?but able to see enough out of one eye?will have the initials."E. M." and will be a lawyer. ?From the Robesonian.
