AHOSKIE MAY LOSE IKAININ^SCHOOL Waters Normal Institute At Winton Offered In Place Local Plant COLORED CITIZENS HAVE WORKED HARD Educators among the Ahos kie colored population, as well as the rank and file of colored persons in and around this town are aroused over the pros pect of losing the State and county appropriations for their school?The Hertford County Training School. A tender has been made of the Waters Normal Institute in Winton to the State and county authori ties, and the issue is between that institution and the school at Ahoskie. Just what disposition will b< made of the offer made by th< Waters Normal is probably de pendent upon the assurance! Ahoskie colored persons car giye for the financial support ol the school, and the prospect! of providing suitable building. The county board of education deferred final action at its last meeting, pending develop ments. In the meantime Ahos kie colored persons are relent lessly working for means to produce necessary funds to guarantee the new building and further additions to their school which is just now be ginning to make itself felt in the community. Some heroic work has been done by the Ahoskie colored people. They have worked hard to build up a real school here, and they were just be ginning to see the fruits of their ef forts when the issue of a probable withdrawal of support was brought up Three years ago they became dis satisfied with their school conditions, being cramped as they were on a small lot in town, and sought aid of the State that those conditions might be improved. At that time they were told they might be granted a County Training School if they would purchase a five-acre tract of land and move their school building. In obedience to these i^ist ructions they went to work forthwith to buy the land and to move the building to the new site. The land and the moving and reno vating of the house in accordance with the instructions of the State's authorities cost them something over $1,500, of which the county paid a part. ?*' , ' ?? ( : When the land had been paid for and the building renovated, the board of trustees of the school made this property over to the County Board of Education in fee simple, and it was accepted by the Board. The colored people have been operating this school with a high degree of success ever since this was done. They have developed their school, located near the Atlantic District Fair Association's grounds, as far as the ninth grade and have more than 25 pupils eligible for high school work. They now have an enrollment of 390 pupils and many others are constantly coming into the district, seeking the advantages offered by the training school. Now, at a time when they were planning for a new building thai their Urge numbers might be accom modated, disparaging news comet to them. Their school may be taker away or absorbed by Wihton. One of the leaders in educational work among the colored popuUtior here sums it up as follows: "Now, ii it is an economical business propo tion to put a plant in the vicinity ol the bulk of raw material rather thai pay to transport the raw material t* the place to be manufactured, woult it not be educational economy fc pUn the school where the bulk of th< children are?" WILL NOT BE HERE Dr. Charles J. Sawyer will not be in hit office her* next Wednesday, May 30. On that day he will be in cbarge of the Tonail and Adenoid Clinic conducted by the State Board of Health. Ha will, however, be in hie office regularly every Wednesday unless rvoties is given in this news paper. Ha will not open hie office here on Tuesdays, as was announced A |N?rr?cUr frtA Better Credit In Prospect For Farmers Of lie State (By B. W. Kilgore) There he* lately been a great dea of beneficial discussion of farm credit, and Federal legislation hat been enacted providing a larger vol ume of credit for the production anc marketing of crops as well as the con ditions for obtaining this credit. It consideraing the matter of farm credit the cost of this credit must not be lost sight of as it has been this "cost" as much, or more than the lack of volume of credit which has made il difficult for the fanner to make enough from his farming operation! to make a living, and something ad ditional, for the purchase of 4 farm. A survey made in 1921 of 80C farms in North Carolina by the State Division of Markets and the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economics, representing the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture, by F. R. Yoder, H. S. Beardsley and A. J. Honeycutt of these institutions, es tablishing the following facts regard ing credit conditions on these farms, and these may reasonably be taken to represent average conditions foi farm credit in the state. 1. More than half of all credit ob tained for current expenses was ad vanced by stores and less than one sixth by banks. Advances from land lords to tenants was almost equal to all 'short-term bank advances to farmers. 2. More than half of all credit ob tained for long term purposes on land mortgage security came from indi viduals. Commercial banks furnish ed not quite one-fifth. 3. The average rate of interest charged for short term advances from banks was 6.8% as compared with 26.6% from stores. For mortgage loans the rate from banks was even 6% as compared with 6.1 per cent charged by individuals. 4. Collate rial was required for less than 6% of the short term advances made by banks, whereas more than 40% of the advances from stores were fully secured. 6. From the foregoing it is evident that farmers would profit by getting more of their credit from banks and paying their store bills with cash, if possible. Two means will be useful toward accomplishing this end: (a) Farmers may form credit unions and get funds by cooperative effort as explained briefly in a bulle tin prepared for this purpose. (b) Both bankers and farmers can work toward a better contact. In this way bankers obtain v first hand knowledge of prospective borrowers which they often prefer to collaterial security for loans, and which enables them better to know and to meet the farmers' needs. 6. More legumes and live-stock on the farm and the growing of food and feed crops will help in reducing the need for the more expensive mer chant credit.
