Entered as second-claw mail matter February 26, 1910, at the poeofflee at Ahoelde, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1878. Feseise Adveftanns ReuraseessOve THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Friday, August 4, 1922 j i IS IT FAIR? This was a question we asked our selves a few days ago when we hap pened to look over the tax list books of Ahoskie township. "There is some thing rotten in Denmark," and if you dont believe us just look these books over for yourself. We found property listed on the above mentioned books, that is worth from two to three times as much as it is listed, and we also found pro perty listed for more than it is worth. But the county officers say there is no remedy for it Well, if there is no remedy for a thing like this, we think it is high time a remedy be made. Is ft fair for one man to pay taxes on something he hasn't got and the other fellow pay taxes on one-half of what he has? Below we give you a few figures taken from the 1922 tax list books: Mrs. W. B. Newsome, brick stores on Main Street of Ahoskie, listed at <20,000. This brick building is about 160 feet front, on Main Street, and about 90 feet back. Mr. J. D. Sessoms, Graham Hollo man property, this property adjoins Mrs. Newaome's, and is about 160 feet front on Main Street and extends through to Church Street with about 100 feet front on that street, listed at <22,000 this year, but was listed at <<,<07 in 1921. The brick structure on Main Street was not finished when it was listed in 1921, but the walls were all finished and part of the in side work had been completed. Mr. S. P. Watson, home, listed at <3,000. This residence cost over ten thousand dollars, to say nothing of the lot. Mr. J. S. Leary, residence on "Cab-! bage Row," listed at $1,867. The second residence from this one, listed by Mr. A. Lee JCopeland at $2,334. Both of these houses are built just alike, and both built at the same time by the same contractor. Branning Manufacturing Co., mill lot and buildings, listed at $6,334. This lot is about 6 1-2 acres. Garrett A Lawrence, mill property and lot, listed at $4,000. This lot includes about one acre, and is about three blocks fronfthe property of the Branning Manufacturing Company. Mr. J. Otis Carter, home on Church Street, listed at $2,500. This residence cost about seven thousand dollars. Up the street from this residence about one block, Mr. W. L. Cope land, home, listed at $2,260. This resi dence is a small three or four room cottage and the location is not as desirable as Mr. Carter's, and we are sure that Mr. Carter's residence is worth at least two or three times as much. It would be to the interest of every tax payer of Hertford County to look the tax list books over, and compare his property with the other fellow's. This article is not written for the benefit of the kickers about their taxes, but for the information of the honest thinking men of this town and county. What we are after is a fair valuation on everybody's property, and everybody pay taxes according to what he or she is worth. 0 WASHINGTON COMMENT "Fools rush in where angels fear at tread." \ There are a lot of "angelic" legis lators in this country who "fear to tread" anywhere there is a labor vote, because it might be cast in their direction. There are a few "fools" who don't ears whether labor or capital, man or woman, union or corporation votes for them, so long as they do what they believe to be wiee, right and just There are some journals in this country which do net care who reads them, so what they publish is honest, from the heart, and not dictated be eeuae some one "fears to tread." Banco R is that the words "com ^wfliipnnii 1'* 1 more and more, lince the United States is having not a taste, but a fall meal of strikes, private wart, inter ference with busineas, and with living, while several groups of labor and capital settle their differences' by conflict. "Compulsory arbitration is a fight ing word to organised labor. It is abhorent in principle to American ideas of justice, that any man, in or der to obtain justice, be compelled to do otherwise than is provided in the Constitution. Compulsory arbitration might easily be a tool in the hands of either capital or labor which would work great hardship. But a sore afflicted man or nation will try almost any remedy for the affliction. So the "fool" who rushes in where others keep silent is heard, more and more suggesting, not neces sarily compulsory arbitration, but a Supreme Court for Industrial Dis putes, to which all great causes of difference must by law be submitted, and the findings of which must be obeyed. Individuals assail the Su preme Court of the United States. But no one defies it. What it says, goes. It is final. And its years of usefulness liase shown that it works. Is it, after all, the "rushing of a fool" to wonder if, perhaps, a ' Su preme Court for labor and capital might not save this country more in what it would prevent in financial, economic, moral, and even physical loss than it would lose in substituting due process of law for the much cherished "right to strike" and "right to lock out?" n Arraying class against class One of the most unfortunate phas es of recent politics in many commu nities, is the tendency for people to line up on class divisions. This class spirit has no place in American life, but it seemed to be an outgrowth lar gely of the bolshevistic propaganda which was spread all over the world, and apparently originated with the soviet fanatics of Russia. It happenens in some places that the leading business men will promote some kind of a progressive movement or effort for better government. Then some politicans seem inclined to ana gonite it, just because these men started it. They claim it is a class movement for the benefit of the weal thy and well to do people. If that idea gets started it is likely to kill it. Then the politicians who promote the opposition will claim to be the de fenders of the people, when all they have really done is to block progres sive movement that would have been for the benefit of everybody. Business men sometimes make an opening for that spirit by a failure to make it apparent that they are work ing for the good of all elements in the community. If they argue that certain things should be done for the benefit of the large taxpayers, or cer tain men should be elected in an effort to secure better business government, they may give the impression that they are running a kind of class move ment Their plans and campaigns and candidates to avoid misconception, must consider the needs and rights of the poor and struggling people quite as much as those of wealth. They must see that the interest of the small taxpayer is protected and considered, or they may give the impression that they are promoting a class effort It is so fatal to progress to have these class conflicts get started, that people who desire community advance should take the greatest pains to see that they are promoting the welfare of all elements.?Exchange. o TROUBLES OF OUR OWN MAKING Simple precautions would avert most of the railroad crossing horrors. Here are a few rules, which, if fol lowed, would save many lives. Never approach railroad tracks that must be crossed at grade, with out this thought: "Here is the place where I must play safe!" Have your car under control, then you will be prepared for any emergency. You know the importance of having good brakes on your car. Look them over, from time to time. Probably nine out of ten times there will not be a train near enotfgh to check .your progress over the tracks. Make no effort to go across, until, by careful use of both eyes and ears, you have sixed up the situation. All must agree that a little time spent in trying to protect life and' limbs is a good investment. We use up- some time hunting bargains in stores. Better plan to hold onto the life you possess. No bargain counter has another to offer you. When your end comes, you will be a long time dead. Maybe, when you get near the rail road tracks, you see a train coming, and the thought pope into your mind, "I can beat it across!" That thought is a mere whim. Your judgement i?j not speaking. 'In such a case, wait ? = for your sober second thought. Remember that a foot train can run the quarter mile from the whistling poet to the crossing in fifteen seconds. Do joa know just exactly how far you can make your car go in one fourth of a minute? Most of us fail to do our best in an emergency. Do you admiro a man who tries to beat a train over a crossing, when he has his family or friends in the car with him, depending upon him for protection? If such a man were to run his business so carelessly as that, we greatly fear that the balance would show up on the wrong side.of his ledger. Most of us are very weary of reading newspaper accounts of death and destruction. Let's be rooters for safety at the crossing! TURN 111 DARK WITH SAGE TEA i If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens so Naturally Nobody can TelL The old-time mixture of 8aga Tee and Sulphur for darkening gray, etreaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, oraa color, which is qnite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we doat hare the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the muasy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready -to-use product, improved by the addition of other in gredients, called "Wyeth'a Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular because nobody can discover tt has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or n soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ana smell strand at a time; by morning the giay hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphpr Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applica tions, tt also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abandonee which is so attractive. ? WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUN-DOWN IfiaMwi Mr Suffered U.U1 Tried CardnL?Says "Result Wis Surprising."-?Got Akng Fine, Ihcume Noraal ud Heultk-. Springfield Mo.?">iy back wy no weak I could hardly stand up, and I would hare bearing-down pains an# was not well at any time," says Mr* D. ?. Williams, wife of a well-knowL farmer on Route 6, this place. "I kept getting headaches and having to go to bed," continues Mrs. William* describing the troubles from which -he obtained relief through the use of Cardut "My husband, having heard of Cardoi, proposed getting It for mo "1 saw after taking some Card'.il ... that I was bhr>roving.

My husband said he would get me some Cardul. which he did. It strengthened me ... My doctor said I got along fine. I wis in good healthy condition. 1 cannot say too much for It." 'Thousands of women have -offered as Mrs. Williams describes, until they found relief from the use of Cardul. Since It has helped ao many, you should not hesitate to try Cardul if troubled with womanly ailments. For sale everywhere BUS BUFFERING? Most of the pain we suffer is unnecessary. Why continue to endure it?to sacrifice your youth, beauty, and enjoyrfient * to it? The combination of simple harmless medicines found in Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is especially effective in re lieving pain without bad after effects. For more than thirty-firs years sufferers from headache, neuralgia, backache, tooth ache, sciatica and pains from other causes hare found re lief by talcing these pills. Why don't you try them?

Doris was a poor stenographer. Did they op pose the match! Thay did not They welcomed Doris to their bosoms and talked about the old home town. Bat the cream of the whole thing waa to the honeymoon. "Doris, what do yon think the splen did old Dad's dona (or ue r said Jim. "He's bought us a little cottage In the country, and (urnlahed It complete, and we're to spend ear honeymoon there I" They arrived by train the evening of their marriage. The "little cottage" turned oat to be a substantial house. There waa an old-fashioned garden. There was a garage. There waa an outfit of linen. There wen some sil ver piata Jim's father did things to style. But?there were Hobeon, Mrs, Hob eon, and their daughter Jane, who did the housework. "Ob, Jim, your father's gone too tor r sobbed Doris. "Everything's per fect, but I did hope that we could spend our honeymoon alone. Td have cooked (or you and done all the house work, every bit of ttt And I can't stand a butler! What do we want a butler for!" "Well, darling I do think you might ?t least give Dad credit tor good In tentions," answered Jim. "Oh. 1 know you're sorry you're married me," sobbed Doris, Jim was aghast as the low, mutter ing thunder of the tenth quarrel burst on his anguished ears. He strained his nearly-made wife to him. They made up In a tow minutes. However, It certainly was a strain. Beery moment of the day Doris was painfully aware of the Dobson fam ily. Jane eras always on the stairs, and Dobson followed her with a sour look on his face. , The sour look was explained on Sun day. When Jim went to the garage to get the car Dobaon mid to Doris: ? "Will you be going out likewise Madam r "Why not?" asked Doris. "Oh, quite so. Madam," Dobaon re turned. "Doris, aren't you coming? What's the trouble r Jim asked. "Why, you're crying, dear P "1 hate that mean old Dobaon," wept Doris. "He's always disapproved of me and he told me pointedly that there was a chnr&h only twelve miles away, as' If he wanted us to go. And now he objects to Sunday autolng." "The miserable old puritan P Jim muttered. "But, darling, after all, the Dad?" "Oh, I know you're tired of me" Bobbed Doria The eleventh quarrel hung like a low thundercloud over the horizon. Jim strained his bride In Ms arms, and presently the' sun began to sblne again. "If he'd had any sense he'd have known that a woman wont take or ders from her servants," Doris said tartly. "I didn't really want to go, Jim, bat rm going now, Just to spite old Dobson. We'll run down to the beach and come back at nightfall." "Capital," said Jim. Dobeon watched them depart with an enigmatical look on bis facer They spent a gorgeous day together. They swam In the breakers, and they even ate peanuts, which millionaires' aoos and daughtera-ln-lsw are really not supposed to do. When they got back? 1 woofer why Dobson taunt Bt up?" asked Doris. uOonfound him I" muttered Jim. Doris, welting for the light?ehe wee a little timid?suddenly heard him shouting. She ran to him.
