Oa Machinery For Period Of Five Years Because the HERALD has labored under a delusion since its present owners have had it in charge, the Hertford County treasury will reap sheckels to the amount of a few hundred dollars from a source hitherto unbe knownst to the county authori ties. Taxes on printing presses and office equipment will be paid by/the HERALD for five years past. Taxes on real estate owned have been paid annually, but act ing on the assumption and belief that the equipment used in pub lishing the newspaper was tax free and because the officers of county administration have never . taken the trouble to verify or disprove that assumption, the owners of this business have not been required to list machinery, and have not paid taxes upon that property. At Monday's meeting of the county commissioners, the mat ter was investigated, and infor mation was secured showing that both taxpayer and list taker had labored under a delusion. J. Roy Parker appeared before the board and explained that the HERALD had never sought to evade payment of the taxes, but had never paid the tax on 'ac count of the notion that the ma chinery was -exempt. Upon motion the HERALD was allowed to list its property for five years back and pay taxes upon apme, without the addition of a 25 per cent penalty allowed by law. HIGH SCHOOL QUINT DEFEATS WAKE FOREST "ALL STARS" The Ahoskie High school added one more victory to the list when it del -feated a team composed of former and present Wake Forest students at the Community Christmas tree here Christmas night The game Was well played throughout and especially in) the last halfMid the High School do' some splendid pass work. The op posing team of Wake Forest men, res-' idents of Ahoskie, played very fine ball, considering their lack of prac tice. The game was very interesting though at no time could anyone be doubtful of the outcome. The gdme largely attended and many patrons of the school saw their team in action for the first time. They were lavish in their praise for the splendid team, which reflects much credit on the school. Mr. Harris, secretary chamber of commerce called the attention of the audience to the needs of the bas ketball team in the way of supplies, etc., and took occasion to pay a high compliment to the team. On the whole the game was very entertain ing, and served to arouse a much greater interest in besketbaH on the | part of the patrons of the school, and the town folks In general.

AHOSK1E HIGH SCHOOL DE- 8 FEATS DRIVERS HIGH SCHOOL The basketball quint ?of Ahoskie High School met the vaunted and heralded quint of Drivers High School of Drivers, Va.( champions of Nanse- _ mond County League and defeated _thfim-by the overwhelmingly acorA ef ~ 16-4, Friday night, December 22nd.

The Drivers quiift, however played at a " two-fold disadvantage; having played - Winton High School before and play ing on the opponent's court. The game was featured by the all around playing and superior passing of the Ahoskie team, as they early took the lead and held it throughout the game. The first half ended with I a 10-0 score in favor of Ahoskie High - School, but in the second half the Drivers five rallied considerably, holding A. H. S. quint to six points while they scored four points. Al though a glance at the score would ( seemingly indicate a listless and one sided game, this was not the case; the - game was indeed spirited, each side J contesting every move toward their opponent's goal. The game developed no outstahding stars, although Holloman and Ses some each credited three goals to ^ their team's total.
