RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT The Woman*' Missionary Society of Colerain Baptist Church has been called to mourn the death of our be loved sister, Mrs. Aldara White, who departed this life on May 4th, 1923, having reached her 65th birthday Her life was quiet and unassuming, m'spite of aMlction, sorrow, and suf fering. She was always patient, and was never heard to complain. In her going the Woman*' Missionary So ciety has lost one of its oldest and most faithful members. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn their >loss. It is Sweet to think that she is now at rest in the presence of our Savior. Therefore be it resolved: 1. That the Womans' Missionary Society of Colerain Baptist Church extend their sympathy to the be reaved family, and may Cod's -bless ing abide with them here and lead to a blessed reunion when this life is completed. 2. That we humbly submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well. 8. That a copy of these resolutions be placed upon the record of our Mis sionary Society. That a copy be sent to the Biblical Recorder, and to the Hertford County Herald, for publication. MRS. MAXI? WHITE, . MRS SALLIB BRITTON, MRS. ROSA WILSON, ^ , Committee.

Editor Hertford County Herald? Deear Sir: In the Hertford Observer, one of our county papers, there ap peared an article with no name signed to same. This article had quite a bitter attack upon one of the clean est, dignified, high-toned christian gentleman that I ever knew, Judge Jno. H. Kerr. Judging from the over whelming majority in hjs election to fill the position which he now holds, it seems to me that scores of voters thought the same as I did. Going back a lititle ways when he served as solicitor, serving Northampton county as well as other, diid the Prog ress, a newspaper published in that county, fight him? No. Why was the statement placed in the paper, the Observer, that the Progress would not support him now? Sometimes the press takes a little too much liberty and places things in its columns that should be left out. When I see the statement in the Northampton County Progress, a newspaper publshed in that fcood old county, and placed there by the edi tor, then I will know how that paper stands and not?until then. When the article appeared in the Hertford Ob server published in Murfreesboro, N. Co., June 21, 1928, the many friends of the editor of that paper, of which I am one, was set back to wonder how and why sufch should have been pub lished. Mr. L. J. Lawrence, the editor, was called to the phone to explain. He said he knew nothing about it until he read it in the paper. The article that appeared in the Observer, criti cized Judge Kerr for being at Rocky Mount attending the meeting \>f the District Committee for the purpose of selecting a man for Congress to fill the unexpired term of the Hon. Claude Kitchin, deceased, the ablest man of that body. The Observer gives Judge. Kerr credit for always being on the job. I agree with you, Mr. Whoever You Are. I take it that the Observer is geing to support the opponent of Judge Keer. That is perfectly satis factory with him and his friends. But when you express anything and give it to the press, sign your name to it Now, let's be fair to all con cerned. 1. Has Judge Kerr neglected one moment of his official duties to the state, or in his judiciary capacity? 2. Did he use one penny of the State money to pay his expenses at tending this meeting? 3. If he did neither of these, then why didn't he have just as much right there as any one? In the article, I call it now instead of an editorial, because the Editor knew nothing of it, it states that it is a singular thing in our mind. In whose mind? No doubt the writer of the article opposes Judge Kerr. Then he should have said so. 'Dell me in its fullest sense what did it mean? Has Judge Kerr, because he is a membgrof the Judiciary of the State, haveto stay at home, only when he is called to the bench? I say no. Must he be denied his liberty LEGAL NOTICE North Carolina?Hertford County. In the Superior Court. Mark Dixon, Plaintiff versus Emma Dixon, Defendant.

C., under the llrm name of Griffith A Vinson, have die- ! solved partnership. Business will continue under name of C. A. Vinson. ? Thia 27th day of June, 1923. C. A. VINSON. 6-29-28-ftft. . 11 I Butocribe to the HeraMi At N (tow. < and freedom because he is a judge? If Judge Kerr aspiring to office of Congressman, say fit to attend the meeting, it is absolutely all right You and I had no business there as piring to such office because we were not capable. But the writer certain ly wishes he could have been there as his friend. 1 am not going to knock any man worthy ^ of that position, and until I am shown that he neglected his of ficial duties to his State or had the State bear his expenses while attend ing that meeting, I promise you and him, I am with him wherever he goes I want to go back a little, to the time when he served Northampton County, Hertford and others as so licitor, and he was an able one, too. We also have another able solicitor that succeeded him. The writer had the pleasure once of attending a meeting held in Weldon, N. C.; to renominate John Kerr as solicitor. He had enemies there and must have them now. However, when that meeting was called to order, the Hon. John Kerr was put fh nomination. Only a few opposed him and they kept quiet. The article in the Observer, who ever wrote it, is quiet also. He nev er signed it. When John Kerr?and i take the liberty to call him so just as I call my brother,?was nominated he was called upon for a speech. Everyone knows he is a good speaker if they ever heard him. When he ? mounted the steps and faced the old gray heads that from a long distance followed him, standing behiind him, you could see him tremble witl^ grati tude to those whom he knew were loyal and true to him. He admitted he was unable to express his grati tude to his many friends and just a few words fell from his lips. If I should say it was a speech I will also say that no finer speech of accept- ' ance ever fell from human lips. The gratitude he wished to express was not in words, but could be plainly seen. After serving as solicitor, the time came for a judge. I guess he ought to have stayed at home, but no, he was on the job. Now he is on the bench. To my mind he will soon be more comfortable in a seat. Yes he had the right to fight for judgeship and has the same right to fight for the seat in Congress. While judge he has had the pleas ure of holding a few courts in old Hertford and with all the 'dignity his office required. He is going to hold a seat in Congress with the same dig nity. Now there, if*any one knows of anything that should make him unfit for the place for which he is now as piring to, then let them come out and let the people know these things. Don't fail to sign your name. It is a- known fact that the editor will re quire it of you, but sometimes ho is requested to withold it. Then you see it pots people to thinking as to who wrote the article. Respectfully, P. H. TAYLOR. JL 1 Inactive I 2 Liver | ? "I have had trouble with P ^ an Inactive liver," Wtote Mr*. & T 3.
