Mr. Taylor Wants To Read Yarn's Letter |1 !f To Speaker Dawson On Double Voting MR. EDITOR?Sine* Mr. T. E V?nn is persistent in trying to msin tain his position on the doable votini done by the Chairman of the boor County Comlhissionert on the Art Monday in last December, thereb; revoking the action of the forme board in offering to go 50-60 with th state for the maintenance of an a" time health officer for the county am by so doing smothered for the tim being the moat economical and hu mane proposition that has come be fore our county board. (It is im possible to economise at the expenst of health, the health of the peoph of the county is their wealth.) 1 deem it proper to take some cogni zanee of what he has said or causer to be said. I notice in the Hertford Observe] under date of March 15th, Mr. Vane has introduced a letter written bj Hon. John G. Dawson, the speaker ol the late General Assembly of North Qreljna, supporting his position, that a chairman has the right to vote as a member to tie and then vote again as chairman to untie or give the casting vote. I suspect that Mr. Vann did not fully advias Mr. Dawson as to the cir cumstances that brought about this controversy and for the purpose his letter was to be used and that he un derstood Mr. Vann to be merely ask ing what his procedure would be as Speaker of the House, should such an occurrence happen and not what his procedure would be as chairman of the board of county commissioners of Hertford County consisting of only six members, including the chairman. If he had been fully advised his let ter would have been quite different. Why dldnt Mr. Vann have his letter to Mr. Dawson requesting the infor ? nation published also? The people have a right to see how the question was put, besides it is unfair to Mr. Dawson to publish his answer without first publishing the question as put to him. Now please let me introduce "Rob ert's Rules of Ordar, Revised", sec tion 68, paragraph 6, page 288 which reads thusly: "If a member of the assembly, he is entitled to vote when the vote is by direct ballot (but not after the tellers have commenced to count the ballot) and in all other cases where the vote would change the result. Thus in a case where a two-thirds vote is necesary and his vote thrown with the minority would prevent the adoption of tha question, he can cast his vote; so, also, he can vot? ""th the minority when it will produce a tie vote and thus cause the motion to fail, but he cannot vote twice, first t<> make a tie and then to give the easting vote. Whenever s motion is made referring to the Chairman only, or which compliments or condemns him with others, it should be put to vote by the vice president if in the room, or by the secretary, or on their failure to do so, by the maker of the motion. The chair should not hesi tate to put the question on a motion to appoint delegates or s committee on account of his being included." The foregoing is an exact copy of the entire paragraph number 6 which has been adopted by the United States ____________ BETHLEHEM NEWS Mr. G. O. Holoman want to Nor folk last walk. Mr. George Belch and family from near Powellsvflle spent Sunday in the home of Mr. R. L. Simons. Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hill of AhosUe visited Mr. and Mrs. O. 3. Hill Son day afternoon. Miss Noli# Stephenson spent the week-end with her sister, Mrs. D. L Minton near BrantlSys Gross. Misses Willie Overton and twiM Sue Edwards from Scotland Nsdr spent Tuesday night and Wednesday with Miss' Susie Hill. Mr. and Mrs. A, T. Williams and I. Congres and kept In continual prae r tice for more than two decades. t If that august H ean afford t i follow such a practice, why is no ,t that a better pattern for our littl y board of county commissioners con r sisting of six men to be governed by' e ( Note the chairman is not even en . titled to a vote as a member after th< 1 tellers have commenced to count th ? ballots, and that in the case referre< . to, the ehairman of the board o: , county commissioners waited until al . other members had voted and thi ? count made and the vote announcet , and then cast his vote as a membei I and as chairman together and at om . time, which he had no right to do I It, also at the time being a matter oi record on Me in the commissioner"! office forbidding the chairman of anj r such authority). Then the House oi J Representatives of North Carolina ai ' Mr. Dawson its late speaker. Then again, while not admitting Mr. Vann's and Mr. Dawson's posi tion on the right of the chairman oi any deliberative body to vote twice, to tie and untie, to be expedient in any assembly or body, the House of Representatives could follow such a practice much more consistently than the board of county commissioners of Hertford County. The House of Rep resentatives being composed of 120 members and its speaker voting twice would only vote one-sixtieth part of the strength of its body, and the board of commissioners being com posed of only six members, its chair man voting twice would vote two sevenths, or nearly one-third of the strength of its body. 1 see much dif- j fere nee or consistency in favor of the house of Representatives and feel I sure that my readers do the same. Then again, so far as the law is concerned, I will say that there is no special law governing the laws and I by-laws of any deliberative body, The statute is silent on the subject, the House of Representatives is a body corporate, each assembly has a right to discard all former practice or par limentary usage and to make any laws or by-laws under which to govern the proceedings of its body, independ ent of the laws or by-laws of all other assemblies, if they deem proper. This will hold good all along down the line from the Supreme Court of the United States down to the board of County commissioners of Hertford county, but be it plainly understood that if the board of county commis sioners of Hertford county should revoke its former rulings and proceed to allow its chairman two votes, that the life of that board will be number ed and the die cast Since writing the above, I have re ceived this week's Hertford County Herald. In it I also find Mr. Daw sons' letter together with another article from Mr. Vann. I see he has resorted to personalities and sarcas tically refers to the opponents of his views. I wish to say that I care noth ing whatsoever about his personal ref erences and sarcasm, I have endeavor ed in all of my articles to confine my self strictly to the subject and avoid anything that could be con strued as personal and sarcastic.

' t There will be s meeting of th< p Hertford County branch of the Nortl Carolina Cotton Growers Co-Opera t tive Association in the court house ii _ Winton Saturday, March 31st at 2:04 B o'clock p.. m. i The North (Carolina Cotton Asao 1 ciation is making preparations for th< f distributions of the checks for th? 1 third payment on the cotton of its 3 members and the methods used in thii ] distribution wil be outlined at thii t meeting. It is planned to send these 3 checks out some time in April and at the Board of Directors have ordered j that they be sent through the local 3 organisations it is very necessary that r every community be represented at ? this meeting in order that they may be i given full instructions how to organ ise the locals. > A permanent county organisation . with officers elected from each of the | Marketing Associations will be affected at this meeting. Every mem ber of the votton, tobacco, and pea nut associations is cordially invited I to be* present The Board of Directors of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co operative Association have ordered that the checks for the third payment on the cotton of its members be made through tiie local organisations. The checks for this advance are now un der preparation. This plan for the distribution of checks will be the most efficient one yet tried by the Cotton Growers Association as it provides for the delivery in person of the checks, thus doing away with the uncertain and unsatisfactory plan of sending checks through the mails to thousands of members, many of whom the post masters are not acquainted with and who consequently would be put to much delay and trouble in getting their money. As these checks are going to be distributed through the locals it means that those communities which have organised will probably receive their checks some time before those communities which have not been or ganized. Mr. Joseph C. Jones, who is the Field Representative, for the district composed of the counties of Vance, Warren, Halifax, Northampton and Hertford, is covering this territory as rapidly as possible assisting in or ganizing these locals, but as it is a matter of impossibility for him to personally organise each local in this district before the checks are ready for distribution and, as it is desired that every member get their check at the same time as nearly as possible, those communities which have not yet formed their locals are urged to do so at once. As the Cotton and To bacco Associations are organizing locals jointly any community which has a tobacco local can use it a cotton local and have their checks distributed through it. Full information for the organi zation of locals will be promptly fur nished upon request by the North Carolina Cotton Growers Co-Opera* tive Association, Raleigh, N. C. or by applying to Mr. Joseph C. Jones, field representative, Warrenton, N. C. Why He Didn't Step "James, do you see that policeman making signs to you?" asked the lady in the back seat of the car.
