AHOSKIE JOINS EASTERN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (Continued from page 1) tory. The program covers a three year period, and a budget of $22,000 a year haa been made out, the money to be furnished by the $10 individual memberships, appropriations from county commissioners, and member ships by banks and chambers of com merce. ? No decision was ever reached on the query of "which is the greater nuisance?the town council or the A. C. L. Railroad", although lawyer W. R. Johnson and Reverend E. J. Isenhower vigorously assailed the two nusiances, which the lawyer classi fied as private, public and mixed. Secretary Harris' alarm clock failed to stop lawyer Johnson's tirade against the town council, which was blamed for allowing the raosquitos to capture the town, besides passing a law that said the trains must pass through town at an 8-mile-an-hour speed while automobiles were erdered to drive as fast U they ?6ttld.?The town cop was lauded for his foresight in adding a couple of boards to the side-boards of his garbage dump cart which had for months hauled the light waste paper with only one 6-inch side board?and the council did not even have the sense to see the loss accru ing to the city. He advised a clean ing up within before the railroad was asked to "do something for the town." He thought the council should ask for something from the railroad. "They haven't even had the nerve to ask for a new depot, and other improve ments", he said. Reverend Isenhower said he would let the lawyer do the classifying, but he was sure of one thing?"the A. C. L. Railroad was a nuisance, private, public and mixed." He thought a new depot should be built, freight and pas senger stations separated, and sheds built alongside the track for passen gers leaving and boarding the trains. The town council of Ahoskie was composed of a bunch of live, progress ive spirits, he said, and few, if any towns, the size of Ahoskie enjoyed such a lighting service, water and sewer systems as did Ahoskie. It was a good natured, but spirited debate, and rejoinders were sought and made by both speakers. The members of the town council were re ferred by Mr. Johnson to his minister opponent, should they have any dis putes to settle over what had been said about them. The minister had agreed to do the fighting, Mr. John son said. The minister knocked the argument about "asking for some thing" in a cocked hat when he drew an illustration from the colored "Sambo" whose wife had 'wurried' him so much by asking for money. Sambo, when asked what his wife did with all the money she asked for, re plied "I ain't given her none yet." Dr. C. G. Powell made a brief talk on Community Spirit, which was gained by co-operative purpose and work and a persevering spirit of de termination. Mrs. C. O. Harris, Mrs. James Sessoms and Miss Louise Buf faloe handed out the eats, consisting of two kinds of sandwiches in any Quantity desired, parched peanuts, coffee and cream. After filling up on the eatables Secretary C. O. Harris of the local chamber made a spirited talk of a few minutes in which he invited the full est cooperation in undertaking the work here. He briefly outlined the proposed Ports Commission Bill which is being sponsored by Governor Mor rison, and explained how it could lower freight rates through water competition with the rail lines. Two projects were mentioned as being objects for which the chamber was working and pulling hard?a two county fair (Hertford and Bertie),' and a hotel. Mention of both of these brought applause from the en tire membership. Opinion was solid that both the fair and hotel should be made permanent Ahoskie institutions. Dr. C. G. Powell wanted to see the open gambling devices, and common shows excluded from fairs, or he "would exert his every effort to see that the fair proposition is allowed to remain dead." He was assured that the presence of open gambling and indecent shows could and would be curbed, and excluded from partici pation in any fair sponsored here.

AU European nations, even' Germany, look upon him as a great hero. Next Saturday (Arnfostice Day,) November 11, the country is plan ning to celebrate that the mass of people are returning'to the views of Wilson. We next take Cyrus W. Field, the man who made possible the Atlantic Telegraph. He was a hero because he did not give up in his attempts to lay the cable, or. telegraph, as it is now called. The song going "If aJ) first you don't succeed, try, try, again," may describe him. He did not give up in despair because the cable broke in mid-ocean, but returned to Eng land, defeated, but fully resolved to begin the battle anew. He formed a new company and started out to lay a new cable. When they attempted to lay it they experienced the worst weather ever known at that time of the season. But he did not give up, so he attempted it another time and was successful. Then he returned to look for his lost cable. The first time he found it, the men cheered so wild ly that it slipped away from them. But he did not give up, and after two weeks searching they found it. Last of all we take the famous Army doctor, William C. Gorgas. Gorgas was responsible for the open ing of the tropics to the white man. He foughtr malarial and yellow fever, first in Cuba, then in Panama. And made possible the building of the Panama Canal. The French tried but failed because so many of their men died of the fever. He was never afraid of the disease himself, and in this way he was'a hero. He had charge of the health of our troops during the World War, and did a work. ? After he conquered yellow fever in Panama, his dream was to conquer yellow fever all over the world. He died in the midst of his work, in Eng land, on his way to Africa to conquer the fever there. He devoted his life to a great work and a great dream; he did creative work. He was modest, quiet and unassuming, and ever kind. The Americans are conducting a world-wide campaign right now to es tablish a memorial for him. It is not to be a monument, not a costly tomb, but a memorial institute of tropical and preservative medicine to carry on his work. How beautiful and fitting! Great soldier, statesman, scientist, and medical hero, we salute you all! You are enshrined in the hearts of noble and grateful people. "Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us Footsteps on the sands of time.". ARTHUR W. GREENE, Senior. BETTER BUSINESS CON DITIONS REFLECTED Sale Of Treasury Certificate* Wu Brisk During Month Of September . "Better business conditiqns through out the entire Fifth Federal Reserve District are reflected by investment in more than one and one-half mil lion dollars of Treasury savings cer tificates during September", Post master A. T. Willoughby at Ahoskie has been advised by Howard T. Cree, director of the government savings organization for the district September sales were $1,530,757 divided among the several states of the Fifth District as follows: District of Columbia $155,569; Maryland $101,726; North Carolina $196,250; South Carolina $99,376; Virginia $218,200; West Virginia $497,101; Federal Reserve Bank at Richmond $216,111; Treasury Booth at Wash ington $46,425. Up to October 1st investment has been made in Treasury savings certi cates to the amount of $6,939,369, maturity value, as compared with $1,116,003 for the same period last year, an increase of $5,823,366. These savings are more than six times what they were for the first nine months of the previous year. In North Carolina during the same nine months the savings were $951,885 in 1922 and $179,309 in 1921, showing an increase of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars, or $772,576. The postmaster has been informed that sales during September were not only highest for any month of the year, but almost equal to the receipts for the whole of 1921, thus showing that more surplus funds are available for investment than for many months past and that investors are seeking government securities because of their unquestioned soundness and the satisfactory rate of interest offered. There seems to be less inclination to invest in "get-rich-quick" schemes than formerly and as these savings certificates are sold chiefly through post office^, they are readily accessi ble to the general public.

Three hours be fore her death a little girl was born into the home, and has survived her mother of three hours. For the several years Mrs. Greene had lived in Ahoskie she had endear ed herself to the people of this town as few women have ever done.
