Hertford County Men Active In Aiding State Perhaps few persons in Hertford County ore familiar with the move ment to raise funds for completing the North Carolina bay in the Cloister of Colonies in the wonderful national shrine at Valley Forge. Little is also known locally about the nature of this Cloister of Colonies, what it repre sents, and why North Carolina should have a place there. The Cloister is described by Mar shall Haywood of Raleigh as "the Westminister Abbey of America." It consists of memorial buildings dedi cated to the honor of the fathers of this Republic, the Cloister of Colo nies forming the outer structure of that world-renowned edifice. North Carolina and Georgia are the only two states of the original thirteen colonies that have not provided funds for the erection of a memorial dedi cated to their states. The North Carolina Society of Pennsylvania, made up of loyal Tar Heels now residing in the Keystone State, has undertaken to raise funds for the completion of the memorial to this State in the Cfoister of Colonies. This Society has issued a small book let of 80 pages, h?th illustrated cov er, in interest of the campaign. In cluded in this pamphlet is the article by Marshall Haywood of Raleigh, who recites the valiant work done in the Revolutionary days by North Caro lina troops. The booklet is well illustrated with cuts of the memorial buildings at Valley Forge, Peon*., and shows the place where North Carolina's cloister will be erected. On the last few pages of the booklet there appears the names of the North Carolinians in Pennsylvania who are helping raise the funds for the Society. It is in these lists, Hertford County finds strong representation. Among the men of that Society this county has two sons, both of whom were among the leaders in their communi ties before going to Philadelphia. Edgar Thomas Snipes, born in the Menola section of the county and for several years an attorney with offl- , ces in Ahoskie, is fisted as one of the' directors of the Society, chairman of the Legal Committee, and a director of the Valley Forge Memorial Com mittee. Vernon L. Eley, won of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Eley el Menola, is also a member of the Society and is serving as member of the Valley Forge Mem orial Committee. These Hertford County men, while making good in their professions in Philadelphia, are not overlooking the glory of their forefathers and their State they have left behind. Partic ularly is this true of Attorney E. T. Snipes, a descendant of one of Hert ford County's oldest families, and who as a young attorney opened of fices in Ahoskie. The City of Phila delphia has recognised the ability of,, Attorney Snipes, and in one of ita daily newspapers, the Philadelphia Dispatch, of last week there appeared the following complimentary article: Edgar Tlwafiu Snipe*, Esq. Probably few attorneys in Phila delphia enjoy a wider scope for the exercise of their legal abilities and conservative judgment than does Mr. Edgar Thomas Snipes, Esq., with of fices at 506 Chestnut rtreet, Phila delphia. Combined with these quali ties are intergity of the highest order and executive ability which makes him one of the beat assets that any city conld have. For many genera tions back when an especially knotty problem presented itself it hss been -? ? ? _?n. ijl?tj the custom to oDserve tnat it woum require a "Philadelphia lawyer" to solve it; a tribute won by the able members of the Bar, who have always reflected honor and fame upon the city. Mr. Snipes Is an example of that type of lawyer, the type that serves to keep alive the power to be reckoned with under any circumstan ces, which fact is largely accountable for the large and extensive clientile that he commands. He wends his way in and out of the local courts with that quiet, unobtrusive demeanor which characterises the really able lawyer. Clients come to Mr. Snipes. He does not have to seek them. Years hence the name of 8nipes will be in rolled upon the honor roll of the Quaker City Bar, long after the spec tacular efforts of sensational murder case "front-page-newspaper lawyers" are forgotten. As a citizen, Mr. Snipes has always taken an active part in civic affairs and is a man who has given freely of his time and gp>ney to further the interests of the City of Grotherly Love. The De spatch takes this opportunity of chronicling his ability and accom plishments for the edification of its many readers. 660 quickly relieves constipation, biliousness, headaches, colds and la grippe. ?
