Entered as second-class mall matter February 25, 1910, at the posoffice at Ahoakie, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1878. I thefamsjuow pj^ 'aaau3ATio?i FRIDAY, JAN. 26, 1923 THE HERRIN FARCE? Organized miners have again proven their superiority over the courts of justice. This time it is Herrin, Hi.?the scene of a setto of barbarism, butchery, and mob spirit of the worst sort in the summer of 1922. Non union mine workers seeking an honest livelihood were shot to the ground, their throats slash ed, and then drug off to die a miserable death, simply be cause a bunch of organized coal diggers didn't want to see the coal mined, unless they dic tated the terms and did the job themselves. .Brought into the courts and given a trial, every defendant among union workers was ex onerated of all charges. Al though they took part in one of the most heinous wholesale murders ever staged in this country, a jury composed of supposedly American citizens has given them a clean bill of health. Like one of our contempora ries has set forth, this farcical court procedure and outcome shows even more conclusively that industrial rotten ess can not be remedied in the courts. There must be a campaign of education that the American folks may learn to inhibit the very inception of any indus trial or social organization that is founded on principles akin to those actuating that bunch of hoodlums and cut throats out in Herrin. Sympa thizers sitting on juries to pass i upon the guilt or innocence of those fellows or any other sim ilar crowd can never provide a remedy nor give any sort of justice. '??t.j; ? | NOTHING TO GAIN? What Prance hopes to gain by occupying the Ruhr coal re gions is hard to ferret. If it is France's intention or, hope to secure any revenue by invasion and seizure of the mines, such hopes appear to have little prospect of realization. She may be able to force Germany into suDiuissiveness; but even that -end is further off with ev ery succeeding day's develop ments. \ With coal strikers obeying implicitly the decrees of Ger many and refusing to work under French surveillance, there is little chance for the in vaders to secure a maximum production of coal. In fact, less ooal will be mined, France and Belgium will get but little coal and Germany will be just that nearer starvation and leas able to meet any indemni ty, by reason of their ceasing coal operations. France's allies are giving her but litttle encouragement On the other hand, demandf have been made by statesmen of their late allies urgring that protests be lodged against the occupation by France ol the Ruhr regions. As the situs tion stands now, France is not only failing to get any monej or ooal from Germany but sh< is antagonising her enemy tc the point where little can evei be expected from them. The CAT here and now enters a disclaimer to any offense suffered at the hands of Mr. T- E. Vann of Como. To disagree on matters of policy has nothing in common with offering per sonal offense. In fact, it is real refreshing for the Maneys Neck folks to be represented in the paper published in Ahoskie. The two Hertford county bailiwicks are almost like foreign territories, so far removed are they by natural bar riers, which include the Chowan river and highways that do not admit of much communication. Although in the same county, Maneys Neck _ is much closer in both distance and trade with Virginia than with this section of the county. Not in the sense of being actually 'lost', but meaning that it is lost to a large section of the County, Maneys Neck affords a pretty close parallel to the "Lost Provinces" of North Carolina. The CAT is strongly in favor of reclaiming that portion of Hertford and making of it a stronger ally and closer friend to 'our er^d* of the county. Bridges across1 the Chowan and good highways will turn ,the trick. Give me .the small .town for real life. Every day in the small town is filled with human interest elements that are totally lacking in the larger centers where the population is ao cosmopolitan that one hardly ever speaks to or even knows his next door neighbor. Hanging around a small town naturally impresses one to a more or less degree of his own im portance as a human being; it is not like being a cog in the wheel around the big town. - It is pretty hard to observe the oft repeated admonition of "leaving oth er people's business alone" in the smaller place^; but, /then, |f you don't take an active, every-day inter est in what the other fellow is doing, he will be disappointed and will even call you "stuck up." Holding the job of sheriff of Hert ford County would be a liability if he were required to run them down and take taxes away from the county taxpayers and tease them along as the tax collectors now have to do, thinks Sheriff Scull. The CAT knows $8,500 would not be any salary for a sheriff if he were required to collect taxes in the same manner and by the same methods now employed. Were the system to be changed, it would be necessary to make a change in the method of tax collecting now in vogue in Hertford County.* Ahoskie may take the cake when it comes to producing high priced goats, but it is left to Murfreesboto canine owners to put a price on their dogs. Although listing only -about a half dozen dogs, the average value put put upon them is greater than the average horse, cow, or other animal in the same township. Six dogs in Murfreesboro township are worth $506. Maneys Neck and Winton ? townships do not list any dogs at all. Over in Harrellsville one honest col , ored man put his dog down as being ' worth $2. There are no other dogs listed. j A THOUGHT FOR TODAY "Yon cant send your conscience to [ the lanndry. Every man most wash | his own soiled thoughts." t It takes more dough to buy a loaf I of bread and leas to make one now . than it ever did before in the world. : AND A SHIRT-TEARING CONTE8T During Farm and Home Week at ' Manhattan at the agricultural col ? lege the horseshoe pitchers are to I compete for prises. I Why not let the women have a . dish-washing contest says an ex ' change. Give a prise for the woman who ean wash and break the most dishes. And then have a burned steak cob t test by the hired girls' Union. Give r the prise to the hired girl who car , turn a 2-tneh-thick steak into a J scorched, rubber in the shortest time ? Cy Kology says the bill collector never has to chase the man who earns - . his money before he spends It Among other pathetic failure! must be listed the effort of a high brow professor to art enthusiastic at a foot ball game. Some people can call you a liar simply by smiling, growls, G. Howitt Hurts. :? t AUTO SUGGESTIONS All's fair in love and the garage business. Pride goeth before the blowout. Fool jay-walk where angels fear to tread. Money makes the motor go. Ignorance of the law is no excuse (unless she happens to be pretty.) A summons in the hand is worth five dollars (at least) in the traffic court Some are born fools; some achieve foolishness; and some do not stop, look, nor listen at grade crossings. Skidding cars gather a crowd. A dam funny thing to us is how ths man who chews tobacco expects to be kissed just as often as if he were fit to be kissed. HERE'S ONE CONSCIENTIOUS CONSUMER ANYWAY We owe some woman for a young chicken which we found in a slightly used egg. Hare you observed that it makes a liar just as mad to be called a liar as it does an honest man? OBSERVATIONS We have observed: That making mistakes seems to be a necessary part of a man's education. That the harder you are to please the less your friends will try. That more people wiR acept a man's cigars than his advice. That a man cannot become popular unless he is willing to be bored occa sionally. That the fact that life is a Xgrind is what sharpens many a man's wits. That when a women doesn't enjoy spending money she needs a tonic. That it takes a born diplomat to disguise the interest one feels in oneself. That every time a man does a char itable act some vinegar-visaged mis anthrope says that he has an axe to grind. / ??? SERVED HIM RIGHT They stood close together on the edge of the precipice. The roar of the angry waters below them was softened to a love whisper?so high were they above its rushing conrse. Standing, silhoutted against the moonlight of the sweet-scented night, oblivious to the beauty around them, they were conscious of only one thing: the ecstacy of the other's nearness. She knew that she was going to be kissed, and trembled expectantly. She slipped her arms around the great bulk of his shoulders, lifting her face, and closed her eyes. She knew that he was looking at her. "Dear," he said. "Dear," he continued, "your nose 'shines." She kicked off her shoes and leap ed into the abyss. The whale gets into trouble only when he starts to blow. The world may be going to the dogs as some old-timers say, but these same ones don't seem to be in any hurry to get out of it "Average man cant love but one woman," says a magazine writer. No, not on the average man's pay Pungent Paragraphs Oar fathers used to say that tlx master's eye was the best fertiliser. ?Pliny the felder.

FIDDO FIRST While you were in Florida dearest said the df|ing and wealthy husband, "I added this wing to the house." "Well, you'll have to tear it down then. Fido buried a bone there be fore we left" POOR DEAR In the middle of a stupid party one of the guests spoke to a young man who was yawning. < "Awfully boring, isn't It? If it weren't so embarrassing, I'd go home. "Yes. Wish I could go, too; but hang it all, I live here."
