Nr. John A, Parker, ?( Ahoakia, Ur
gea upon People the Advisability
of providing a Stock Law for Hert
ford Canity. Relates Facts and
Figures la His Experience? Says
it Weald be in Line with Other
Progreesive Legislation.
Editor the Hertford County Her
ald: ?
I am invested in stock rais
ing and think every farmer should
try to raise stock. It is a part of
farming. I have not read any
thing in your paper about a
stock law for this County, al
though I have thought over the
proposition for-several years. I
believe that a big majority of the
people would vote for this law if
submitted x> a vote.
First I vilt give m.v reasons for
advocating such a law, and I will
also give my experiece in keep
ing my stock up in pastures. I
am the only man in my communi
ty who keeps up his stock nearly
the whole year. I have not had any
hog cholera for five years, while
my neighbors lose every year hun
dreds of dollar* worth of bogs let
ting tneir nogs go in the woods at
free range. And, too, I am im
proving the blood in my hogs,
cattle, sheep, and breeding up bet
ter stock, fur you have to keep
your stock up to do this, any
farmer will admit. You take cat
tle and let them run at large and
you will have mighty poor and
sorry cattle. A milk cow that is
on tlie free range gets loaded up
with ticks during the spring and
summer month. After milking
this cow the milk and butter you
get from, her can't be as healthy
for us to eat. And. too, we have
trouble with mischeivous cows
every year caused by poor fences,
neighbors falling out and having
law suits over same.
Now, I would like to see an act
[Mused by the General Assembly of
North Carolina to force people to
keep up their stock. Some people
would rote against such a law,
but I believe there would be a
small majorty of the people who
would vote against such a law if a
vote were taken in our County
now. I do not mean that this law
should be passed over the veto of
the majority of the voters of the
County, but there are so many
people who are prejudiced against
such a law more on account of the
fact that they do not familiarize
themselves with the merits of the
Slock law. Those who have lived
where this law is in effect know
what it means, and if such a
law could be out into effect in our
County it would serve.to educste
a great many people to the better
advantage and resulting better
stock conditions of the stock law
communjtv. Much an act could
be truly termed constructive legis
lation.
Some say, what will become of
the noor tenant who owns no land,
if we had a stock law in Hertford
county. Weil, I would say, let
the tenants help keep up the oas
tores, fences and shrub down the
bushes, and be allowed to put in
his stock. This is the arrange
ment I have made with my tenant.
Mr. Editor I would suggest that
our next general election in Nov
ember that we have tickets, and a
seperate box, and have printed or
written on the tickets "For or
Against a Stock Law," and let the
voters express their preference at
this time. This. I believe, would
be a good way to get the senti
ment of the people in the County.
If a large majority of cur voters
wanted this act passed then our
Representative could get the act
passed in our next session of the
Oeneral Assembly or submit to
the vote of the people of the Coun
ty.
We are making some progress
in schools and road building, and
a stock law to my mind would be
in line with other progressive

partment on scholarship, attend
rfhce and deportment.
It is gratifying to know that the

the curriculum of tins school, giv
ing the students four years in the
High School Department. Much
credit is due Mr. K. E. Williams,
the principal of the school, snd
Mr. H. H. Jones, a trustee, who
were untiring in their efforts to
secure the additional grade. As
the Eleventh grade,was not a cer
tainty until few days age, an extra
teacher was needed. Miss Leta
Hester, of Chase City, Vs.. has
been elected {o teach the 6th and
7th gaades and arrived Monday af
ternoon. The school has outgrown
the old building, and a room will
have to be rented out-side the
building pr the auditorium fitted
up for as class room. Winton's
greatest need is an up to date
school building and she is going to
have it.
A most deligntiul surprise parly
was given Miss Annie Tavlor at

taking" party for Miaa Taylor

lor with a gift, to be opened on
her gloomy days, also a letter to
be opened. j
Among the guests was Mr.
Robert Matthews, who left Mon
day for Chapel Hill, to study med
icince. An emergency call was
given to see how quickly the
young doctor and nurse (to be)
could get ready. In the confusion
the suit cases were mixed, but Mr.
Matthews arrayed himself in cap,
vest, and apion, while Miss Tay
lor dressed herself in high lipen
collar, tie, and heavy shoes. De
licious ice cream and cake were
served. Those present were:
Misses Annie and Louise Taylor,
Helen Northcott, Mary Daven
port. Ruth Vann, Pearl Ward, of
Wallace, and Louise Vann; Messrs
Dare Boone, Robert Vann, Rob
ert! Matmews, R. E. Williams,
and Rev. J. N. Bynum.
The Fairy Part of Midsummers
Night's Dream was given in the
Town Hall J'hurseay evening. It
was impossible to give it on the
River Hill on account of the rain.
The stage was decorated to repre
sent a forest with shaded lights,
and children dressed in gay cos
tumes. representing fairies made a
spectacular scene. The children
preformed their part well, reflect
ing credit on Miss Louise Vanu,
who trained them for the play.
, Mighty IIsag's Show gave two
performances here Friday, Sept.
8. Although this was the biggest
and best show that has been in
WinUm in years, it was poorly at

- Forester J. S. Holmes Making Ar
rangements far Wood-Pulp E*hi
l bit in order to Interest the Man
ufacturers and Capitaliata in.the
i North Carolina Wood Suitable for
Pulp to be Used in Making Print
Paper.
In view of tlie verv high and
?till increasing prices of paper and
the growing scarcity of the mater
ials from which it is made, it has
been suggested that one or more
paper manufacturing plants be in
vited to come to North Carolina
where in many localities wool
suitable for pulp is still abundant.
Manufacturers, capitalists and
consumers are all intereeted in this
oropersition and are casting about
for a suitable location. For this
reason ' the pioposed exhibit of
wood suitable for paper making at
the coming State (Fair at lialeigh,
October 16-21. will be likely to
attract national attention. It is
proposed that each county or
tuwu, through its officers or cham
ber of commerce, exhibit on block
of each kind of wood suitable for
paper makin, where such county
has any large amount available
for this purpose. ?
Block* may be round, halved
01 qaurtereo, 2 to 3 feet long, cut
from logs more than 4 inches and
less tlmn 12 inches in diameter.
B*.rk should be peeled off one end
and left on other. The name of
wood and of the exhibitor should
be attached. An estimate of the
amount available within six miles
of all railroad, in the county slioud
accompany the exhibit. Materials
should be sent by frieght or ex- !
press prepaid to J. E. Vogue, Sec- 1
relary. State Fair, Raleigh, N. C., !
and marked Department N, Mach- '
inery Building. They should ar- !
rive not later than October, 13. !
Space for the exhibit will be furn- <
ished free.
The principal North Carolina !
species now suitable for paper ?
are popular, hemlock. Iim, spruce <
chestnut and second growth pine <
of several species. > -
An exhibit of this kind, besides
advertising your county, may
have a very decided influence in t.
recuringlv permanent manufaclur- /
ing plant in your town. Write the /
State Forester, Chapel Hill. N. C. /
who will be iu charge of this ex- \
hibit. i
