Fsnisu Ail m lhi,| RoriMOoiu THE AMERICAN raE3S ASSOCIATION I Friday, Sept. 29, 1922 With three road commission ers saying no and three coun tering with yes, from whom is Superintendent Hines to take orders? 0 Hertford County is planning to help Judge Francis D. Wins ton and his Bertie folk cele brate the centennial anniver sary of the formation of its sis ter County> "The Judge" says the gates are down, all barriers removed, and the invitation without restriction. n w - It should be unnecessary to hammer upon the proposition of a chamber of commerce for Ahoskie; but it is not. Remem bering-that little saying about "constant dripping, etc." the Herald reminds Ahoskie people of the meeting called for Fri day night. If for no other rea son than, to be entertained, be there to hear Mr. Bartlett. He will appreciate your mere pres ence, even if you hesitate on vjoining forces with those who are working hard to perfect a chamber of commerce. 0 Ahoskie needs a better school plant. That is a rather trite saying, and yet it is just as true as it is a hackneyed ex pression. Whatever else we people may fail to do, there are none who is not ready to help provide the very best advan tages for the boys and girls who seek a liberal education. Re ports about the inadequacy of the Ahoskie school buildings are not exaggerated, and a visit to the school will dissipate all fears one may entertain about agitation for something we do not need. We are not going to permit public education suffer for lack of-a proper backing, tfhere will be better^facilities provided, and the children and theif teachers will not have to wait always for it. o W. S. Hart, Highway Com missioner, says Ahoskie people do not want anything That is the sum and substance of an in terview "a few of the Ahoskie citizens had with the Commis sioner a few weeks ago. He mentioned in connection with the statement the hand full of Ahoskie persons who attended a good roads rally here last fall before which he was advertised to speak. There was then a ' prospect bf this section draw ing some funds from the State for highway construction. An indication that the people wanted it was the one thing Mr. Hart was looking for; but, when he appeared here to speak, probably a dozen people went to hear him. That is one thing we want to learn?if Ahoskie is to add to its wealth in any of its phases, its people will have to get in the habit of asking for something, and backing it up with reasons for the demand. censorship?losing out That American people are antagonistic to strict censorship of any kind is reflected in the revolt spreading through the country against the idea of moral censorship. The reins were tightened during the World War, and American people 'became submissive to the will of the censor. It was a sacrifice on their part, and was to them just another way in which they could "help win the war." Some reformers conceived the idea of applying censorship to moral conduct, and during the last few years the fever has grown instead of diminishing. Among the ranks are hordes of pigmy fellows who grasp at the moral censorship plan to gain for themselves a little notoriety. Many of them go around rant ing about the social evils of the day; and adopt asTRe-method tof correction forcible suppres sion, by prescribing strict Tules of censorship and attempting to force them upon unruly sub jects" Through moral persuasion and good precepts the social order is to be changed, if really it needs changing. Those who violate the rules of orderly so ciety go deeper into the mire when the ultra-reformer comes along with his fixed rules of conduct?rules that the most orthodox fail to observe. Preachments do little good if there is not behind them the precept.

NEGRO BEING HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT Caught At A?l?mlw Saturday Night Hald For Broakiag Into Local Store v William Henry Johnson, colored, mi nabbed by Cbief of Police Mod lin of Aulmnder last Saturday night, ind is being held at the Hertford County jail in Wittton upon a charge of stealing a brace and bit from the Ahoalde Light plant, and attempting to break into the Army and Navy ?tore at Ahoalde. Johnson came to Ahoalde about two weeks ago by the freight train route. For several days he was em ployed at the Ahoakie light plant. Sundajr night, September 17, an at tempt was made to break into the Army and Navy store here, and he was suspected. At the same time the brace and bit and other tools wete missed at the light 'plant Oscar Britton, Ahoslde chief, had been on the look out for him and no tilled the Aulander cop. Saturday night the capture was effected at Aulander. When caught, Johnson had in his possession a bag of clothes, and the brace and bit He denied having stolen any of the articles, al though the tools were identified. Where he secured the clothes has not been determined. It was learned that he had sold one suit of clothes for $8 to defray his expenses. He was remanded to jail without bond and is now awaiting trial in Superior Court at the October term. Among the extensive publications now in demand is" Circular 181, "Judging livestock and Poultry."

[ SEEN AND HEARD THIS WEEK BY THE OFFICE CAT J "Fifty-two teacher* were enter tained by the Rotary Club Wednes day night. The feature of the even ing was the impersonation of the efd fashioned teacher and the new teach er by young men in female attire. Young masculine flappers with rolled stockings, bobbed hair, and rouged lips had no trouble in passing the mock board without a question as to their knowledge, but the old maid teachers were turned down with a glance. Presently, the old maids re turned with rolled stockings, bobbed hair and other "modernities" aAd they, too, passed without a challenge amid the roar of laughter of Rotar ians and the 52 teacher-spectators. No, that was not in Ahoslde; Kington was the place. A certain young man of Ahoskie went to church last Sunday. That should cause no comment. But this young man earned the sum of $10 by so doing. From the center of town at midnight he went there and back blindfolded. "Policemen are needed on that Roanoke bridge and dam at Williams ton," says Billy Rogers, Ahoskia law yer. The Ahoskie attorney was one of the Sunday sight-seers at the bridge, and he brought back a vivid tale of how two fellow wayfarers en gaged in a little game of battery and assault, while he and his family sat nearby in their car awaiting the end of the bloody tilt. The fight was the result of a dispute over the whyfor of one fellow's being stuck in the sand. Several loose teeth, and a broken arm resulted. " D. R. McGlohon, Clerk of Superior Court, says he is about to become* cal loused to personal criticism, although he thinks but little of the fellow who did not have the nerve to bring his complaint direct to the county office rather than write an anonymous letter to the County paper. "Misunderstanding of the lpw often is the cause of unmerited criticism," says Mr. McGlohon. "Everything done in this office is in accordance with the strictest rules and regula tions. and I always try to keep the very closest tab on every transaction co nsumated. I do not expect smooth sailing all the time, but this business of taking a thrust at me incognito is nauseating."
