Hertford County Herald PuMMted Every Friday by VINSON * PARKER Owners J. ROT PARKER Editor JAMES S. VINSON ..Manager Subscription Prioo Ons Yaar $1.50 Six Month. t* Thnt Month. 40 Advertising Rater ' Vary rouonabla and made known on NflHt Entered a. second-class mail matter February 26, 1910, at the postofflce at Ahoskie, North Carolina, under the Act of March S, 1878. AN EDITORIAL THAT IS WORTH THE SPACE? Newspaper office, can usually be counted upon to consign without ex-1 amination its publicity hunter.' ma terial to the waste basket This of fice is no exception. The long dis tance contributor, to local newspap ers find but little favor here, and, if it did not mean the spending of postage and time in so informing them, the HERALD would return their stuff without examination and with the strict admonition to try another of-1 flee where they could have better', hick. However, there is one exception?1 a noticeable one?among the list of new. disseminators. It is the service released by the Editor of Cooperative Extension publications of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.; One of hi. latest bulletin, i. headed "The Glib Tongued Canvasser is With Us Again". That piece of writ ing is worth editorial column space in this newspaper, for it is but another follow-up of the editorials written from time to time in this office. It follows: Farm folks of North Carolina have reason to bo thankful for the good crops of cotton, tobacco and other produce and to be pleased with the price, which have been received for these commodities to date; but, as always, the travelling agent, the glib tongued canvasser, the parasite who follows where money is In circulation, is with us again this falL Reports re ceived at Director B. W. Kilgore's office at the State College indicate that these gentry are more numerous than ever in rural districts this fall. They are on hand to sell every kind of thing both necessary and unneces sary to the farmer. Because of this, Dr. Kilgore ha. written a letter to all the field work-i en of the State College and Depart ment, asking them to use their in fluence in the right way to guide their cooperating farmers in the purchase of necessary supplies and equipment and in the use of surplus money for the purchase of those things which will add to the comforts of the farm home, to pay back debts and to im prove conditions for better farming next year. Indications are that there is a reg ular campaign on to get as much of the farmer's money as possible through the use of agent canvassers. Generally, it i? found by workers of the Extension Service that such things as the farmer will need for his farm and home equipment, or for his convenience and home beautification can be purchased best through the regular channels rather than from traveling agent or canvasser. The business men of the home town are thope who pay the taxes, support the public institutions, advertise in the newspapers, and keep things going in the home community. The intergrity of these men is known. An unsatis factory article may be returned to them and settlement made; but, with the canvasser-once he gets the money ?the farmer may or may not get the article purchased, and he may or may not be satisfied with it should he get it "Let the traveling agent alone. Purchase from your home merchants and invest your surplus money wise ly," is a warning Dr. Kilgore issues at this time. HERTFORD COUNTY JOINS CHORUS? Every person, we believe, in this county who has any knowledge of Hon. John H. Kerr, for twenty years a public officeholder in the Third Judicial District; every person, who has watched hie career as solicitor and Judge subscribes to the sentiments expressed in the resolutions passed by the county court officers and mem bers of the bar at Win ton last week,' and which are printed In another col-1 umn of this paper. Hertford County?its people?do' regret to see him forsake the superior court bench, for the reason that he; has made this district a competent officer end in doing it has retained the respect, honor, and love of those who! know him. He has been close to the! people of this county just aS he has] to the people of other counties lying within his district However much they hate to lose, him as Judge, there is nevertheless, the good sport manship left behind that Is willing be eOsr congratala * ' OFFICE CAT I tRAOC MARK I ? I co?vwmiT ??W.iY??AWUAH HIM. Well sir, just out of curiosity I went around to the side door of the Richard Theater last Friday night, while the embryo Mr. Wells (his right name is Eric Garrett) was showing that old but still popular "Birth of a Nation!', and while the crowd was pushing and shoving for advantage at the front door I sneaked under a long row of those chairs, until I had almost got to the rear seat Man, let me tell you, Richard Theater stock has done gone up since last week? everybody's talking about how much money the manager cleaned up. They are talking so nice and sweet about it. 'Ain't that just like folks, though. Last year and two years ago, these fellows just simply had cramps 'in their stomachs when you said any thing about a moving, picture venture in Ahoskie. "He's a good fellow, and I'd certainly like to see him make good, but I4-I am afraid he can't do anything with that business; in fact, I've heard he was losing money heavily." That's the way some of these calamity howlers piped up. The thing was just making them lose sleep. Now, along they come with bright faces (you can guess what is hidden behind them) and speak fluently of the wonderful success the moving pic ture business has become. And, you can't get a single one of them to admit their woeful predictions made just a little while ago. Moral: If you can't say something good about folks and their business let them 1 alone. .' O ,><j f Right along that point, permit me 1 to say that certainly was a pretty little girl who sat two seats ahead of me at the show, and whose feathery hat was directly in the path of my ' vision every time I looked towards that screen. If I hadn't just finished that lecture above, I wouldn't be say ing nice things about her. And, while I am in the business, I do want ] to thank all those good women who j had such manners as to keep their i hats on while the show was going on, even if it did cause some of us to wake up the next morning with s woe begone crick in the Beck. i The presence of the boss's Con gressman, Mr. Hsllet S Ward, in town yesterday reminds me of what I have 'hern abo.it this Democratic nomination for Ooijgre? next year. A whole flock of ni:i birds are being groomed and some a'ready have rtueic up their fighting feathers, all headed for the primary to beat out Mr. Ward for his job as Congressman. 2d Aydelette, Doc Griffin, Harry Wbed bee, and Lindsay Warren form a part of the directory.

Barbecue And Speaking (Continued from page 1) the output <rf your loom* rivals in uaefulneas and beauty the illk of the orient. A spirit of equality and jus tice dominates the councils of your officers; and an equal chance in life for all is the shibboleth of ydtar citi zenship. 1 see Ahoekie with a popu lation of twenty thousand people; selling ten to twenty millions of pounds of the golden leaf; two-thirds of which is raised for you in Bertie County. This is the Ahoskie of my vision and I call upon you to bring this vision to a reality. "The great highway passing your door will bring here people fspra every clime, and nation. Make your city so beautiful, so rood, so busy, so prosperous that they will hurry to get within your city limits and linger long before leaving. Judge Winston ended his talk by admonishing the crowd to remain and hear Congressman Ward's talk; and, in the course of his remarks, told of the great work M*. Ward had done in public life during the Reconstruc tion days, and more recently in the halls of Congress. Eatiag Tim# Following the Judge's talk, the bar becue was handed out, accompanied by corn bread and lemonade chaser. Women did the serving; colored at one table, and whites at the other. The service was orderly and was done with despatch. Every person was fed until not an appetite remained un satisfied. Mr. Ward Finishes It Congressman Ward spoke interest ingly and feelingly upon the subject of cooperation among farmers, pre facing his remarks by complimenting Ahoskie and its Chamber of Com merce for promoting a better feeling between the townspeople and the] rural folks. Only by fostering agri cultural interests, and aiding the people who inhabit the rural back ground can Ahoskie expect to grow and develop into a great town and city, Congressman Ward said. He commended efforts to secure factories and such like, but first of all he ad vised the promotion of the farmer and the farmers' interests. Ahoskie, he said, was doing that; the barbecue and speaking was a fine example of what the Chamber of "Commerce and business interests of the town should first of all undertake. He then launched into Us speech, which was baaed upon the principles of cooperation among the producer ?the farmers?by wUch the high cost of living could be reduced. This, he said, could only be done by re ducing the overhead costs of market ing, or lessening the consumer's ulti mate cost by eliminating some of the middleman's profit, Transportation costs, and laborers' wages could nev er solve the problem of reduction of high costs?the one great thing which would cinch the future of any politi cal party. The only solution, he con tinued, was cooperation. While he strongly championed co operative marketing of farm crops throughout his speech, he paused to state that he was not a "fool" about it; and, unlike President Coolidge who recently sent his emissaries to the West to form a cooperative associa tion for handling the wheat crop, did not believe it could be done. In fact, he said, "you need not expect any help from the politician, or either of the political parties; you must work out your own salvation."
