ON&YEAROLDTODAY

A short resume of the first
year in actual newspaper
service as viewed from
the "inside." One hun
dred and twenty-six new
subcribers.
Today's issue mark* the be^ili
ning of the second year of the
publication af the Hbbald under
the present management. We are
one year old in the newspaper ser
vice?this is our birthday. With
the lack of better means of cele
brating, not being able to give a
"party", we beg the indulgence
of our readers for a brief resume
of the year's work as viewed from
our end of the business.
Daring the last twelve months,
since our advent in the Herald
office, oar subscription books have
been augmented by one-hundred
and twenty-six brand new paid-in
advance subscribers, Del; that is.
one bundred-^nd twenty-six more
than it bad last year at this time.
In this same time we have been
forced to drop but very few names
for failure to renew, And to each
one of these who has been dropped
every opportunity baa been given
to come back into the fold.
Our advertising patronage baa
been ooe great boom to the paper
during the past year. In every
oaeof the fifty two issues that has
beeifpiibfbhed under this regime,
there has been a liberal amount of
advertising." The paper that ia
well filled with local advertising is
the one that fil's Die mission so
well defined for the success ?.f the
country weeklies, rherever they
may be foi.nd. and, we are proud
to say that (he greater percentage
of advertieements carried in the
columns of the Hbbald are those
of local business men; in other
word?, business men of this town
and otber towns in tins county and
the very persons that must make
our county wbaLjt ia to be in the
future and who hare helped to
make it what it is today. This is
the class of patronsge that has
provided the revenue to this pa
per,*and it is the very class for
which we would ask above all
others.
Although price* on every single
thine used in publishing a news
paper haey advanced almost one
hundred per cent during the year
passed, the price of Che Herald
remains the same old thing?one
dollar per year in advance. Not
oiilv does the subscription price
remain the name, but also the
advertising rates have been
unchanged. With the higher
prices for our materials, every
effort has been made to give our
patrons a paper high in thought,
pt-ogrersive in speech, well bal
anced a* betweed news and adver
tising, and above all things, we
have striven to giye you the paper
you would rather have above all
others.
In our efforts to give you read
able matter, we have been materi
ally aided by the consistent and
efficient work of some of our re
gular correspondents. To these
we offer our thanks and our deep
est gratitude for their part in
making the Herald what it has
been under our management.
And, too, there have been those
who have contributed special
articles; to whom we extend thanks
and return felicitations.
Finally, we are not of that tribe
who would bemoan the awful^ fate
and vhe penury of the country
editor; nor do we revel in reciting
to restless and overbearing readers
?f bard times, portraying oursel
ves aa the central fiigura in the
drama?usually styled "the coun
tiy church mouse.". We take a
great deal of pride in the profes
sion, whose mi..,on it to is help

mh '> Xa,
Aniounciog ? Til* Drainage Conteat
For Boy*' Agricultural Club* in
_ Order to Encourage the Young
Men of lb Stat* in Underdraid
. age of Their Wet Lead*?Rule*
and Regulation* in Force.
The NORTH CAROLINA
DRAINAGE ASSOCIATION
wishes to encourage tbe young
men of the state in under drainage
of their wet lands in order that
they fnay receive maximum
yields with minimum etTftt; and
that the educational value of the
club work may be enhanced. To
this end, tbe Aaeociation offers a
COLD MEDAL to the member
of tbe boys' Agricultural Clubs
who submits the most approved
plan for tbe underdrainage of a
field or a portion of a field.
Tbe following rules apply:
1. The field may oe of any size
from one acre uo, and may be se
lected by tbe contestant frcm any
land in wbich be is interested.
2. The plans shall consist of:
(a) A description of the field
including location, acreage, shape,
topography, description of the
?oil and subsoil, present use of
the land and present conditions as
regards natural drainage.
(b) A drawing*or sketch show
ing tbe shape of tbe field, location
and arrangement of proposed
drains, location of the caoal,
creek, or open ditch into which
the proposed drains are to dis
cbarge, and any other points men
tioned in the description.
(c) Number of feet of tile re
quired for each.line with size and
coat of tile, and estimated coat of
digging and backfilling the
ditches.
(d) Estimated coat per awe.
S. The plana muat represent or
sxpresa the contestant's own ideas
in adapting a system of drainage
bo the field selected, though he
may consult others in making Jiis
plans and will be furnished needed
information upon application to
the' vice-president in charge of
Hie Drainage, (Prof. M. E. Slier
win, West Raleigh. N. C. ).
4. The plans shall be mailed to
the Seeetary of the North Caro
lina Drainage Association, (Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt7 Chapel Hill,
N. C?) so that it eball be in bis
hands before the time of the An
nual Convention of the Associa
tion which is to be held in Creena
boro. N. C., November 22 and 23'
1916; or shall be filed with the
Sectary on the first day of the
Convention.
5. The contestant shall not be
obligated to construct the drains
as planned, though their construc
tion would probalily be profitable.
6. The plans shall be judged by
a committee appointed by the Pres
ident of the Association, and the
award shall be made in open ses
sion of the convention.
A SUGGESTION ABOUT THE
, CHAUTAUQUA.
There is hardly enough material
either in Ahoskie or Aulander to
make the Chautauqua a success,
financially. This does not mean
that our towns are'dead, commer
cially, spiritually or intellectually;
but it does prove that the aes
thetic nature has never been awak
ened.
It occurs to me that Ahoskie
could have the Chautauqua in the
Soring, with say, twenty guaran
tors, to which Aulander would add
ten more, this eliminating much
of the individual responsibility and
insure a co-operation on llie part
of both towns. In turn, Ahoskie
would be expected to co-operate
with Aulander. in the fall in a aim
ilar manner.
A little inter-oommunicatioii and
association in this way would cer
tainly be stimulating; and, in a de
gree, a closer kindership end more
cordis! mutuality wouid foiiuw.

Government f if urea Compiled (or
Manufacturers Record Show that
in the Year 1915 South Expended
Oyer $50,000. 000 on Improved
Hifbwaya?Whole Country Mov
iaf Forward in This Respect.
Detailed report* compiled for
the (Manufacturers Record from
Govsfment figures which will
shortly be issued ahoy tlist during
1915 the South spent over $50,
000,000 upon highway work, or
en increase compared with 1904 of
448 per cent. This section is
spending annually two-thirds as
much ts the $75,000,000 which
the Goverment recently voted to
spend during the next five years
in co-operation with all the States
in the Union.
Under thia bill, helpful aa it
has been in co-ordinating the road
construction activities of the coun
try?and that is the most import
ant feature of it?Florida, for in
stance, will secure during the
next five years an aggregate of
about $850,000, while one county
in that state recent'y voted a bond
issue of 1,500,000 for road work,
which is almost double the entire
amount that the state will receive
from the National Goverment for
road work during the next five
years.
This is typical of the spirit with
which the South is pushing its
road-construction activities. The
statistics given in our Washington
correspond nee on the subject
would show that in the aggregate
there was expended in 1915 upon
the ruial roads and bridges of the
United States 382,000,000. of
which mors than 50,000,000 was (
expende by the South. This will ;
show something of what is being J
done towards changing our wliole J
country by supplanting iiqpassable |
mud and sand roads by great nat- J
ional highways.
