1 Our Washigton Letter
What sort of immigrants would you
like to see come to the United StateaT
Do you want people of good charac
ter, thrifty, young, able, vigorous;
men and women anxious to "make
good," to become good Americana, to
be workers, savers, economic factors?
* Or do you think America would be
better off with drones, idlers, anar
chists, Bolshevists, and criminals?
Wtaalf you had the right to say what
Americans should emigrate to other
lands, would you send the prosperous
and the healthy minded, or the crimi
nal and the loafer?
Of course you believe America
should receive only the best immi
grants. And, of course, if you could
export emigrants, you would pick the
least desirable to gd away.
Other countries feel the aame way.
They, also, want good and not poor
immigrants. They, also, would get rid
of their ineffectives.
And we let them get away with it.
Our selective immigration laws say
nothing of quality; let a man have
enough money, or be able to show he
won't be a public burden, and he can
come in, up to a certain number. If
England, France, Germany, Sweden,
Norway do not want any of their citi
isens to come here, they can refuse
them a passport. If such a citizen can
get a passport, he can Come in if a
few formalities are observed. Our
law Checks numbers not qualities!
Secretary of Labor Davis says it is
all wrong; that the law should be re
vised; that what we need is to stop
the undesirables at its source not
alone at our shores.
The American people .... which
means you, and you .... and only
the American people, can take the
immigration laws out of politics, and
see that constructive ones are enacted.
The venerable .and learned presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, the Hon. Samuel Compere, has
recently congratulated organised
labor upon the fact that since the arm-1
istice the average pay cut of union
workers is less than Ave per cent.
Few men have had longer, more
honorable, or more constructive ca
reers than Mr. Compere. Through
hie common sense, administrative
ability, and vision, organised labor has
grpwn and prospered. He has made
fair mistakes, and always recovered
from those. ,
But Mr. Gompers is not perfect; no
human being is, And when he exults
offlcially at the fact that organised
labor has succeeded in holding off the
day of complete return to normalcy,
and has managed to beep its average
wage at a point only five per cent
below wartime levels, he is flying in
the face of the whole American
people, of which his organisation is a
part.
Chairman Martin B. Madden, of
the House Appropriation Committee,
has just returned from abroad, and
stated that he was most impressed
with the willingness of the foreign
workman to take the cut in wages
made necessary by readjustment
Will some one versed in the relative
brain power of the foreign and the
American workman explain why the
Englishman, the Frenchman, the Ger
man, the Belgian can see through the
immutable economic laws which gov
ern all industry and commerce and the
American workman can not?
The price of anything ii dictated by
its cost. Its cost Is the labor cost;
the raw material coat is but labor cost
under another name. Prices are high
because labor is scarce or high priced.
Labor is not scarce here we have more
men than there are jobs. ? Prices will
will come down when labdr comes
down, and not before. Normalcy will
return when labor prices, as well as all
other prices, are permitted to observe
the law of supply and demand.
Unions, organisations, laws, special
privilege, may hold them up for a
while, and permit Mr Gompers to
exult. Eventually they must, like
water, And their natural level. The
farther that time is off the more the
balk of American people suffer, while
the few are congratulated upon suc
cessfully resisting the will, the desire,
and the right of the hundred and ten
millions of men, women, and children"
who are the American people.

HERTFORD COUNTY BOY
MAKES GOOD AT LAW
Hugh Horton, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Horton of Ahoskie, has passed
the examination to practice law in
North Carolina, and is now engaged in
his profession at Williamston. He is
the junior member of the Arm of
Dunning, MoOre, t .Horton.
Attorney Horton was born gnd
reared on Hertford County soil,, and
his native folks will be quick to com
mend him for th#feat he has accom
plished, in obtaining his license upon
his own initiative and by hard and
consistent work in law offices. Al
though he never enjoyed the advan
tages that have been given to many
in being the scion of a wealthy family,
young Horton did not give up his am
bition of some day hanging out his
shingle. And, that is just what he
has done.
Hugh was formerly a student In the
Ahotkie High School, but he never !
completed the course here. Forced by i
circumstances he "struck out" for j
himself and by strict application aigl
hard study prepared himself for his
profession. As assistant in law offices ;
he quickly assimilated the principles
of law, and when he went before the j
Supreme Court of the State, he was
fully prepared to compete with the
other fellows who had had both high
school and college training. He pass
ed the examination.
His county, his friends, and his
people rejoice with him and hope that
success will always attend him in his
work.

HARD SURFACE ROAD
GOINGrTO JACKSON
In case anyone has reached the
conclusion that we are not going to
get the hard surface road through
Jackson, we are authorized to state
that Hon. W. A. Hart, District Road
Commissioner has reaffirmed his
promise to see that we get the road.
To those who know Mr. Hart4 it
would be needless., in fact they would
not ask him to reaffirm a promise, as
he does not forget them, but the delay
is due to the fact that the amount of
hard surface work that can be under
taken by the State at one time is
limited, and we have had to wait until
our turn comes.
Press reports state that twenty mil
lion of the fifty million bond issue re
mains to be spent.
Holy Writ says that "The Lord
helps those who help themselves."
Nobody is going to volunteer to spend
much money in Northampton County.
Experience has taught us that the best
way to get a thing is to go after it.
There is no better guide in the world
than experience. Do you get the
point? Then go after your share.?

Fertilisers for Legumes.
"It is necessary, of course, in put
ting in all of these crops that the
ground be properly prepared and that
sufficient seed of vigorous vitabifity be
used. After this, then it will usually
pay to use a fair amount of fertilizer
with soils only in moderate condition:
For Coastal Plain soils use two hun
dred to four hundred pounds of six
ten per cent acid phosphate. This
will usually be sufficient for the better
grade of soils. For those that are low
in organic matter, enough nitrogen
and potash should be added to give
one to two per cent each.
"As is the case with rye, if the or
ganic matter supply of the soil has
been materially built up, the amount
of nitrogen in the mixture may be
materially reduced or entirely left
out."

GRAY HAIR HOW
Dfuggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Hair that lose* its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull ami
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Qur grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive,
use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturallv, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been
applied. You just dampen a sponge or
soft.brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applications,
it also brings back the gloss and lustre
and given it an appearance of abundance.
