der * county unit and employ a road
engineer. It permit* this to be done,
but leave* the matter to the discre
tion of the road commissioners, who
should have the latitude to srerk the
roada in such manner as they deem
to the best interests of the county.
SEC. S. This also amends the
road law. It reduces the amount to
be paid in order to exempt one from
road duty, from "six" to "four" dol
lar*.
SEC. 4. Is also an amendment of
the road law. It provides that the
leading highway* or main roads shall
be SO feet wide, as is now the law,
but Changes the width of all con
necting, or minor roads and reduces
the width from 80 feet to 84 feet
SBC. 5. Amends the road law. It
gives a person twelve months instead
of six, as time in which any claim
may be presented for taking material
from his land.
SEC. 6. Amends the road law. It
gives the owner of land twelve
months, instead of four, in which to
set np a claim for damages for lands
condemned for road purposes. ?
_ SEC. 7. Amends th* road law, and
permits road commissioners to re
quire a lisence tax, in an amount not
to exceed fifteen dollars per month
(the present law limits them to three
dollars per month) on all non-resi
dents hauling logs or other heavy
material over the public roads; and
further provides that in the months
of December, January, February and
March, they may also impose a tax
not exceeding ten dollars per month
on all residents of the county who
are engaged in the business of haul
ing logs or other heavy material over
the county roads.
SEC. 8. Amends the road law, so
as to make the same conform to the
decisions of the Supreme Court It
separates the property tax from the
per capita tax, and sets apart the
property tax for road purposes.
SEC. 9. Relates to the publication
of the proceedings and minutes of
meetings of both the county commis
sioners and the road commissioners.
This section is intended as affording
the county an opportunity of know
ing what is going on.
SEC. 10. Requires list takers and
assessors, when appointed by the
county commissioners, to give in their
own lists before the Register of
Deeds.
Since all others have to go to the
list taker and assessor and submit to
their listing of the tax payers prop
erty, it feeds the list taker and assess
or out of the same spoon, and re
quires them also to list before anoth
er agency.
SEC. 11. This section provides for
the compensation of tax collectors,
and is a very important section.
According to the records in the
office of Register of Deeds, the fol
lowing compensation was paid on the
1921 taxes.
Maneys Neck $ 496.84
Murfreesboro 667.13
Winton 830.21
St Johns 732.46
Harrellsville 681.06
AhosUe 1,271.62
TOTAL -84,678.32
Under the change proposed, on the
same amount of taxes collected, the
compensation will be as follows:
Maneys Neck $ 403.40
Mnrfreesboro 542.77
Winton - 618.43
St Johns 674.06
Harrellsville 662.14

TOTAL $8,496.10
Total commissions on 1921
taxes $4,678,32
Total commissions allowed
under new act for same
amount of taxes collect
ed $3,496.10
Saving to the county $1,183.22
SEC. 12. This section provide# for
the election of tax collectors by the
people.
SEC. 13. Fixes the salary of the
Sheriff, and restores to him the same
salary that he received under the act
passed *t the extra cession of 1920,
whisk will amount to about $2100. It
increases the sheriff's income $300.
Then may be some criticism upon
this Increase, but it must be borne in
mind that the purpose of this change
is to equalise, as near as possible, the
income of the clerk of court, register
of deeds, sheriff, and superintendent
of public instruction. It must be
further borne in mind that with this
increase, the sheriff will still receive,
in net results, considerably less than
either of the ether three. The sher
iff has an expense account that the
others do net have, and in addition
has to take his life and his health In
his hands and gamble with each.

Likes The Herald
That Ahoskie and Hertford County'
natives ?r? looking with keen eyea in
the newspapers for news of progress
in the section from whence they
came, even though they do not re
side here now, is perhaps more jea
erally known in the office of the
county paper than by any other per
son or persons. Many subscribers
to the HERALD who have moved
away from their native county send
words of encouragement along with
their renewals to this paper. All of
these letters indicate their interest in
the things back home.
Most generally these letters never
get into the newspaper's columns,
appreciation of the editor and co
workers being none the leas keen,
however. Now and then these mes
sages take such form and follow lines
of genera] interest that make them
worth publishing. The letter below
is one of that kind.
Mr. Cotton, the writer, is a son of
Mr. James Cotton of Harrellsville,
one of the oldest and most substantial I
citizens of that section of Hertford.
His son is located in Norfolk, Vir
ginia. He writes as follows:
Since subscribing to your weekly I
paper the Hertford County Herald,
I have hoped each week to find a
column of Harrellsville news in my!
copy.
All the towns in that vicinity are
mentioned, even to Christian Harbor |
and Bethlehem, but nothing from
Harrellsville before the past week.
Being a former resident of Har-I
rellsville township, I am naturally
interested in the people of that com-|
munity, and would appreciate it if |
some one would keep your paper post-]
ed as to what is going on (gossip)
barred). Perhaps my good friends)
Mr. Smith, mayor of Harrellsville,
who according to all reports holds
more positions than any other one
man in the United States, could help)
us out, for I do not recall anything)
being mentioned about him being a
reporter. But even though you are)
short on Harrellsville news, you are
printing an excellent county paper,)
and I enjoy reading all of it
Your paper differs from most smal |
town papers for you do not copy stale
news from the city papers, which in
my mind is better.
Most people down here take at)
least one Norfolk paper and no doubt)
prefer to read local news in the local
paper.
Your "Office Cat" is always good)
reading for me. The article printed
in this week's paper in reference to)
the Ahoskie electric plant furnishing
current to the nearby towns, sounds)
like progress to me.
I cannot understand why a plant
large enough to furnish all the near-J
by towns with current was installed)
in Ahoskie unless it can be used for
that purpose.
The individual electric plants serve)
their purpose, but can never be op-|
erated as cheap and satisfactory to
their owners, as buying current from
a large central plant. The more cur
rent generated and sold the less it will
cost the consumer per kilowatt. I
am glad that there are men in Ahos
kie who will invest their money into)
an enterprise like this one, and 1 hope
to see electric wires running from)
Ahoskie all over the county in the
near future. Yours truly,
C. G. COTTON.

FIERY. ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR
I
Mentho-Sulphttf, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri
tated or broken out with 'eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
? a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch
ing or disfigurement Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.
A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul
