FowJjn Adrartiaas RseressaMive ' THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Friday, Oct. 27,1922 Some of Bertie's folks are agitating the creation of a County Recorder's Court. Whether the money spent in administering an inferior court would be better than the ap pointment of additional super ior court judges and the crea tion of a larger number of judi cial districts within the State is doubtful. Criminal dockets in agricultural counties of the East are almost inconsequen tial, and it is in this particular that the Recorder's Court does its best work. Few civil suits are terminated in courts infer-, ior to the Superior Court. The Recorder's Court could accom plish but little in relieving the congested civil docket. There is ? need of longer terms of Su perior Court if the court calen dars are ever to be cleared. Hertford County has furnish ed one of its sister counties with a county home demonstration agent. Miss Georgia Piland, of Winton, has lately accepted the position in Pender County. Miss Piland is a graduate of Sim mons College, Boston. Our women are not only interested in the work of home demonstra tion and better conditions on the farm, but they also are do ing their share to send the light to other counties. STILL MANY PLODDERS Often do we hear a home made product of the "old school" doing a lot of preach ing about the wanCbness of the young folks of today. "They are not like they used to be" or something conveying a similar meaning is continually falling from the lips of some person, who likes to recite what a hard time the young folks had when he was coming up. The boy and girl of 1922 is pert. There is no gainsaying] that fact; but, the right is theirs to be thus, for they not only have assimilated what the old er folks knew back in the "old en day" but advanced ideas are theirs in common with the grown ups. Progress is so rap id these days the young must be alert, alive and keen to keep; up with it. They do a pretty good job of it; in fact, they are better learners than tfedir eld ers. However that may be, muck! of the sloveneas and ****** ? ? ascribed to today's youth is so much bunk- There are plenty of real workers?plodders, if you please, who are far ahead of their counselors in showing their heels to the rest by grit and hard work. One little news item that em phasizes the point pretty well is a report recently issued by the State University News Bu reau. It proves pretty con clusively that the young are not so bad, and so slack in energy as some would have it. The report reads as follows: Three hundred and eighty-four thousand dollars is the amount earned by students who worked last year in ?rder to make their way through the j - 7 . 1 University. This information conies as a result of an inquiry made by the Uuiuisilj'g self-help bureau. Altogether, 1280 young men and INSf women of the 1700 in the University worked, either in the sum mer or during the college year, for money with which to help meet the cost of idaiatisn here.

A bitter tone of sar casm runs through the whole fabric; and it can but fan the dying embers of resentment between the one-time warring factions. Whether or not the county road construction program has been accelerated by the late wrangle is doubtful; but there is no room for argument about the possible results to come from indictments like the ones in this letter. It can certain ly do no good. Nobody has attempted to give the road board a clean sheet in its man ' agement of the construction program and the handling of the road superin tendent. Equally true is the fact that the majority of Hertford County citizens do not believe the superin tendent has wilfully disobeyed orders or squandered the bond money. How ever, aside from the criticism both have received, the taxpayers are go ing to realise more from their money by cooperation with both the board and the superintendent than by a con sistent program of raw criticism. The same can be said of the board and superintendent in their relations one with another. There should be a bet ter understanding between the two, and with the storm over, there is bet ter co-operation. Above all, Hertford County wants roads?highways that give as near 100 per cent returns for the money spent as is humanly possible. And, one of the very best ways for the County to get the roads is for har mony, co-operation, and helpful sug gestions to take the place of the out break of hostilities which came near wrecking the whole program. The Kitten, led by an ardent at tache of the "Forty-Niners" of the carnival show playing in the grounds of the Atlantic District Fair to be lieve there was a small riot at the fair grounds Tuesday night, went smelling around for a little news of the sensa tional type. It was only a few min utes before the midnight hour when the fellow proclaimed there was ser ious trouble brewing, and plead for a conveyance to take him te the grounds. Arriving at the grounds, there was nothing akin to a riot except positive proof that some loose liquor had been too freely imbibed. The grounds were deserted but for a pretty representa tive bunch of Ahoskie'a elite young white men, who were pronouncing the benediction upon the "Forty-Niners." The Cat's first impulse was to help fill up this column by the publication of the list of notables gathered around the tent, and performing on the dance floor. However, reflecting seriously on the probable results such "widespread publicity" might have upon the safety of the Feline the im pulse was not allowed to work itself into action. It was a pretty good way the carnival fellow had to advertise his business?that riot talk. "Does it pay", inquired one lady when she received a letter from the HERALD office inviting her to be come a subscriber. If it didn't pay, certainly we'd never send them out And, if we did not believe it would bring returns, running a newspaper for profit would no longer be our busi ness. ' If anybody else doubts the wis dom of advertising, by newspaper or direct mail, call around at "the HER ALD office, and let these fellow* tell you about the result* they have been getting.' A tyad occurrence came into the life of the Manager and Editor of the HERALD lately. An Ahoslrie man? a good man to whom was ascribed more than the ordinary share of wis dom?actually refused to accept from the postofflee a sample copy of the HERALD. What former Secretary of the In terior Franklin Lane said about how things were going during the Wilson administration fits pretty aptly into the live* of some people of personal acquaintance, especially when the subject of taxes and road improve ment* ar* brought up. Here is what be said: "The whole world is skew jee, preverse. The President is broken in body and obstinate in spirit. Einstein has declared the law of grav itation outgrown and decadent Drink, consoling friend of a perturb ed world, is shut off; and all goes mer ry as a dance in hell." "As you have published the state ment I made, I feel that I must make it good, so I am sending the bank two potatoes, as I promised?one a 6 lb. and the other 6 1-2 lb. If I find one larger I will let you know. I have lots of them weighing 5 to 6 pounds." That is what B. N. Sykes of Har rellsville writes the I^erald this week, after reading what this columnist said about potatoes on exhibit in the Farmers-Atlantic Bank. The two po tatoes have been received at the bank and are on display. Both are man sized products. "Where does it come from?", in quired one fellow about town Tues day. He was talking about the stuff that had produced such a nice, rosy hue upon some of the well known faces of this town. "It must be pret ty easy to get hold of", said this fel low. "Providence was with me", says' E. J. Gerock in talking about the near disastrous fire in his store Saturday night The presence of a little rub bish?anything inflammable?would have meant total ruin for his large brick store and stock of goods, and might have taken practically the whole Main street block. "Anothe'r dollar", said the Editor of the HERALD as he pulled a letter from his mail box. It was a nice, new, crisp dollar bill, too. The re sponse to the Special One Dollar Of fer has gone beyond what was ex pected. There are just a few days now before the offer expires, and de lay in sending remittance means a loss of fifty cents. | - ? ? !?! .
