A reduction in the num ber allowed to come into the United States is also one of the objects. Public sentiment has much to do with the attitude taken by the legislators at Washington. For years Europe sent to American shores its undesir ables, and we opened our arms and bade them welcome. Lit tle or no restrictions were plac-^ ed upon their entrance into this country. With such a condi tion in effect any appreciable length of time, it was clearly evident that we were engaged in a business that was tearing down the very thingB for which we strove?the education of a homogeneous American citi zenship. Although many foreign citi zens of the United States fought valiantly for the cause of the Allies in the World War, there were countless others who owed no allegiance to this country; and while, the pure stock was sent into the ranks, these fellows remained behind to make private profit out of the unusual conditions existant. Others there we.re who cost the country millions of dollars for deportation and as internes within the United States. When the three per cent re striction on immigrants went into effect thousands were hin dered from coming to Ameri ica; but countless others slip ped the immigration restrict ions and came here, notwith standing the restriction. Americans have not forgot ten what the aliens oost us dur ing and prior to the war, and today there is an even stronger sentiment against the dumping of foreign stock of the worst kind on American shores. ?

C. Taylor presented the County Commissioners with an appeal for representation by Maneys Neck 1 some one suggested that either Dr. Jesse Mitchell or Frank Tayloe move 1 across the river. However, not want ing to cause either of the Ahoslde gentlemen an inconvenience, the i Board fell in with the idea advanced whereby a test vote will be held. Maneys Neck ought to be represented. A E. W. Whitley, Murfreesboro com missioner, threatened to "pass the buck" to Chairman Eley on the propo sition of selling road bonds. Member Eley, no doubt, all set to break the tie but he insisted that Mr. Whitley vote. Mr. Whitley came across with his vote in the affirmative after de liberating for about thirty minutes. 111 e John Askew, Jr., says he was not so strenuously opposed to the sale at the Monday meeting, although he fought it hard one month ago. His idea was to make a sale (if one had to be made) that would "fix it" so that all of the money would not be available in one lump. The last proposition took care of that. "Blocking the road bond*" ku boon taken out of tba realm of fancy or gucm work. Whether there was any foundation to the belief or not, tba bonds aro now about to be sold. If tbe old boat can be steadied, and it will be, tbe road building program will more along and nobody will bo worse off, except for a modicum of search light publicity. This office cat is perched rigbt up on tbe fence on this three-member-superintendent wrangle; but's he's everlastingly for good roads and a plenty of them at the least possible expense. Having disposed of the commis sioner bonds, et cetera, the office cat or kitten offers as the next ex hibit what Editor Saunders of Eliza beth City has named "damphools." It is the fellow who "won't speak to you.". Of all the fellows, living, dead, or in expectancy he is the most nauseating of all creatures. He is vastly more to be despised than the dumb animal by nature. He is dumb, all right, but is far less beloyed than the other species. He is sore because somebody did not agree with him on matters of policy; his neighbor and free thinker had the courage of con victions strong enough to oppose him for office; or somewhere, some time the other fellow has advocated some thing he did not like. As a weapon he uses the cold shoulder, he won't recognize his brother. Of course, his brother never cares whether he does or doesn't. But, common decency and good society has been imposed upon when -one of these fellows is born into the world. m Right down here on Mam street Monday of this week one of Ahoskie's citizens who has long ago ceased to be a "member of the Herald family was seen standing as if glued to the street. He was holding a copy of the HER ALD in his hands, while his whole face was buried between the sheets of paper. The fellow who writes this stuff stood by for a full five minutes and passed on while this man read the county paper. The strangest part of the story is that this gentleman years ago "got mad" with the paper folks and swore bitterly that he would never again read it. ? Are there others who belong to the Annanaias Club? For goodness sake, folks, if you don't like the paper and have said you never wanted to see it again, don't borrow your neighbor's copy. Let's play fair. If you really want to read it, one dollar will bring it to you twelve months. Twenty-nine minutes was the time required to drive a worn out Buick from Boone Harrel bridge to Ahoskie Tuesday afternoon, and it was some of that "Bless me, this is pleasant riding, etc." stuff. None would have dryamed of pulling the stulit before Hertford County befcan building roads. One reason why we are not going to stop building them. NOTICE The registration books were open ed on October 5th, 1922 and will re main open for 20 days for the riegis tration of voters, in Ahoskie Town ship, for the November election. All who are not registered, and wish to register may apply for same at office of L. C. Williams, Ahoskie, N. C. L. C. WILLIAMS, Registrar. A SUCKER AND HIS MONEY SOON PART Barti* Nafro Say* Ha Waa Relieved ] OF $372 By Two Member. , Of Hi* Baca 1 William Smith, colored, came over i to Ahoskie last Friday with $72 in ( cash and a certified check for $800 j tucked away in hi* money bag. Smith , ia a native of Bertie County and here- , after will probably stick to the baili- , wick of hi* nativity, for before he ] 'had left town two sleek tongued mem bers of his race had flim-flammed him out of the whole amount. He cashed the check at the Bank of < Ahoskie and started up Main street . when accosted by two young negroes, who related to Kim a pathetic tale of how they were about to be taken into the meshes of the law. They needed just $372 to keep them out of jail, and it was only necessaty that they have that amount for about thirty minutes. A little diplomatic persuas ion convinced the Bertie negro of the sincerity of the pair, and he tendered his cash as temporary loan. While the two borrowers supposed ly went across the railroad to exhibit the money to their employee, whom they described as a "estate1 man with offices over the postoffice," Smith stood by near the bank and awaited the return of his cash. He is still waiting for the money and the two flimflammers. ECHOES FROM A TAR HEEL Wynne, Arkansas. Editor Herald: As my last letter was accepted, I will write again. The weather has been dry and hot?no rain for six weeks. Cotton is open ing fast, the gins are running full time; the hay crop is a little short on account of dry weather. I attended the Democratic State Convention at Hot Springs on the 5th and 6th of September. It was a 100 per cent Wilson Democrat. Our gov ernor (T. C. McCra) had a major ity of 74,080 out of 180,000 polled, and of course it was a McCra major ity. I clipped out a piece f(om a Geor gia paper that suits the times so well that I will quote it in this letter. ? Ar kansas has certainly had a house cleaning'since the women have got ten in the courthouse. Exit The Old Boys "With the dawn pf Female Suffrage There's a different atmosphere Pervades the grim old lobbies?but I Spose I ordn't kear. "With memories of the old spitton? An' clouds of fragrant smoke I have tried to face conditions and Regard 'em as a joke. "I miss the 'clerk* and 'sheruff' 'an The 'deppity', ye know An' all the other court house boys Of that dear long ago. It don't smell like it used to there Is a different sort o' whang - That bespeaks eternal absence of the Court House Gang." ? I have attended several state oa*f ventions. I have seen them in the "ruff" and I think I have fought for for this reform for over fifty years. - You know I feel elated to know that I have lived to see the change. I always enjoy being with the boys and try to have a good time. With best wishes for my many friends of dear old North Carolina. i Yours truly, / W. P. BROWN.
