PAGE TWO Briggs Continues Argument Against Rabies Inspectors Says A. A. Nobles “Put o*ne Over On” People of Six Counties In Matter of Vaccinating Dogs; Each Township Should Have Inspector In answer to the letter of A. A. Nobles in last week’s issue of The Herald, Rev. W. T. C. Briggs this week sent a reply which was address ed to the editor and readers of The Chowan Herald. His letter in full follows: Mr. Nobles speaks with consider able authority when he says in his defense through your paper that, “The next Legislature will doubtless require” us to have our dogs vacci nated with 10 cc. How does he know what the next Legislature is going to do about even anything when God in heaven only knows. If the mem bers of that body feel about it as Pearly Ashley seems to feel they will likely junk the whole thing as worthless or worse than worthless. Pearly says he had no choice in the matter, but was required to pay one dollar for his dog, and now that he has read the law for himself seems to resent the thing about as much as I resent it. He wants his money back. He says that after the opera tion his dog had a running fit, and that he had never had one before in his life. Now, if this serum is of such doubtful value as to require a truck load of it to the dog, there is room for grave doubt as to whether it is any good whatsoever, and but for complying with the law it is my opinion that very few people would take the time to have the vaccinat ing done at all. Os course Sharp and Doan, and the Gilliland Laboratories may recom mend lOcc for dogs weighing more than forty pounds: it is to their in terest to do so. The more serum used on each dog the more money they get for selling the serum. It isn’t strange that they would recom mend more than our law requires. If they could get by with it they might just as readily recommend one thousand cc. But Sharp and Doan, and Gilliland Laboratories are not making the laws for the State of North Carolina; nor have A. A. Nob les and Pugh Roberson any moral or legal right to hold up the little slip of paper wrapped around their medi cine arid published away off yonder in some scarcly known place in aft - 'other distant state as the law of North Carolina. It is an insult to our intelligence for them to do so. If any person wants to pay sl-00 per dog for vaccination the law says that the inspector shall not receive jt; for it specifically says that, “The rabies inspector shall collect from the own er of each dog vaccinated not more than fifty cents for each dog.” And that citizen who will conspire with the inspector to violate the law in this respect is guilty of an offence himself. If he wants an additional 5 cc put in his deg and to pay an ad ditional fifty cents for the work then let him wait until another time to have it done. The inspector o;i State duty is only to do fifty cent jobs and not dollar jobs. It is not the duty of the inspector to lecture his constituents nGr his vistims on the importance of giving the dog lOcc. and the worthlessness of scc. He is sent out to fillful the law as it is written, and not to knock the law as it is written. If he can’t do the work as the law says, then let him step aside and give the job to some needy person who will be glad to follow the law without trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the less informed citizens. It is principle that I am dealing with, and’not dogs. Why didn’t Mr. Nobles confess that Pugh Roberson went to him that some day and owned up to him that he had refused to vaccinate *the dog I took to him with less than lOcc for which he was charging one dol lar ? There were a plenty of wit nesses present when it took place, and there are no few in this and other communities who know that they had no choice in the matter whatsoever. Not only did Pugh Roberson, whom Nobles referred to as “the real Ma :yor of Edenton,” do violence to this law, but I repeat that I have yet to “find one single person who has un derstood from Mr. Nobles that he had any choice in the matter. One outstanding citizen of Perquimans told me of seeing a colored man have to pay one dollar each to Mr. Nobles for three or four dogs. Mr. Nobles need have no doubt about my being able to furnish names. There are plenty of them that can be furnished at the proper time. Mr. Nobles speaks of himself as being the chief dog inspector over six counties and of such as Pugh Roberson being under him and his “assistant” and “deputy inspector;” but I find no mention in all of the law of “assistant” or of “deputy” in spectors, nor of “boss inspectors.” Section 3 of this law clearly defines who shall serve as inspectors, and that there shall be one inspector for each township in each county, ap pointed by the Health Officers where there are such, or by the County Commissioners where there are no Health Officers. But in case prefe rence be given to a licensed veterina rian, he must either reside in the township itself or in the township next adjoining the township, Mr. Nobles and those who have aid ed and abetted him in this matter have just “put one over on ” the people of six counties, and he has made a nice speck out of it. It does not take a college graduate to vac cinate a dog. Ahy may with suffic ient physical strength and just plain ordinary dog sense san perform the operation; and there is one man in every township in the county who has a right to the job, and Mr. Nob les did not have any right to knock such men out of the job by doing a large part of the work himself. It was the duty of the proper authori ties to find the man in each town ship who had a right to do the work. This way of keeping the truth away from the folks and giving the jobs to the pets is rotten business. If he says he represents the Department of Agriculture my reply is that even the Department of Agriculture has no authority to go beyond the terms of the law itself. Will Mr. Nobles go on setting his own puny personal opinion up against the explicit terms of the law, expect ing thereby to drive the law makers to his position that he may get a for tune out of the people vaccinating dogs? Whatever Dr. Wm. Moore may think of the potency of the se rum used, he is by no means impu dent and brazen enough to ignore the terms of the law and to recom mend to the people that they disre gard it. He takes the position that, since the law has been violated, it is now a matter for the courts to at tend to. Will Mr. Nobles stake his own puny personal opinion above that of the Chief Veterinarian of the State of North Carolina? Let him step out of the way and give this work to the men who have a right to it-one man in each township in each county as provided for by the law: men who will spend their time vac cinating dogs according to law, and not in trying to sell the products of Sharp and Doan, and the Gilliland Laboratories. r RYLAND 1 ' After spending a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N.

Tobacco is in plenty here. C. W. Spruill has twenty banil, eight of them being twenty feet square. Mr. Spruill also has the largest barn in North Carolina. It is twenty-one feet square, and thirty-five feet high, and has thirteen tier poles. Consid ering its size this barn takes less wood than any barn he has, and it holds twenty-two hundred sticks of tobacco. And with all of this Mr- Spruill can’t cure his tobacco as fast as it ripens. Lewiston has the only dial system in the world built up on poles. A house couldn’t be found, so now they do not have to pay any rent. Lewiston is the biggest peanut shipping point in the worVs, and Suf folk is the largest distributing point. T. N. Peele, of Lewiston, is the largest peanut farmer, and has the largest holdings of any man in the world. H. B. Spruill and R. N. Hoggarri have built a medom cotton gin at Lewiston. Their cleaning device is up to the latest improvement. The carrying of cotton and seed to and fro is the last word. They have plen ty of room, and their platform is up to-date. The Republican ball team played Perrytown Saturday, August 3rd. The score was 10 to 4 in favor of Perry town. The Republican catcher fell out from heat at the start, and the breaks went against the Republican team. But with all of that, Perry town has a fine team. I think they have the best team I’ve ever seen in this country. There is one spot in their team, which if strengthened a little, and I won’t say where it is, would enable them to beat the Nor folk league. I am making the Re publican team stronger and then they ’ can cope with any team in the East. Hughes has two teams at Republi can, and last Saturday both taems were playing at the same time. Powellsville played Republican at Re publican, and won the game 15 to 1. Republican this Saturday will play at Powellsville. The peanut and com crops of Mar tin County are in excellent condition due to the recent rains. Lm lor ■ ONE that's jHf ■ ...- - ; Broome Resigns As Manager Os Hotel i Maurice Broome, manager of the ; King’s Arms Tavern, has tendered his resignation to C. A. Lovejoy, president of the Lovejoy Hotel Sy stem which aside from the local ho tel, operates hotels in Evansville, Indinana; Nashville, Tennessee, and Clarksville, Tennessee.

Mr. Broome, whose home is in f Clarksville, Tennessee, has been in Edenton as manager of the hotel > since January 1, when it was taken ’ over by the Lovejoy System. He has accepted a position with the Self- Help Fishermen’s Corporation, whose 1 headquarters will be at Morehead City. i It isn’t known at present who will , succeed Mr. Broome, but Mr. Lovejoy is expected to arrive in Edenton be fore the resignation goes into effect.
