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 Mini of mmm CM COMMISSIONERS The Board of Co'ioty Commis sioners of Hertford County met on the 4th. day of September 1916, all of the membera of the Board being preaent; Proceeding* of last meeting read and approved; Committee to have leak in Court hpuse roof continued.

Chapter of Hertford County in the High School De partment on scholarship, attend rfhce and deportment. It is gratifying to know that the Eleventh Grade his been addeb to 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 the home of of Miaa Louise Vann Friday evening. Thia was a "leave taking" party for Miaa Taylor left Monday for Norfolk to take a course in nursing at the Protest ant Hospital.,, " ' ; Etch guest presented Miss Tay 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.

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 tended, the management not mak ing expenses here.

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.
