PROPOSALS Of LEAGUE

merly of Ahoakie. Write*
About The Leaf ue to En
force Peace.
?rr 1
Editor. Hertford County Herald; I
As we are bow standing on the .
brink of war with Germany and her <
allies, the final consequence* of I
which we know not, it behooves all |
thoughtful people to be seriously <
thinking of plans that will do away 1
with the foolishness and destructive- ?
ness of all war among nations. I
When the psychologocal time ar- 1
rives, we should be in the attitude i
to execute well formulated plans to t
that end. Recently, I was a guest 1
at the Bellevue-Stratford, in com- c
pany with many others I heard dis- r
cuss ions of the feasibility of such e
plans by such eminent statesmen as r
Ex-President Taft, Thomas Raeburn I
White, The Marquis of Aberdeen r
and Temair, and Charles C. Mich- 1
enerr Director of the field work of 1
the League to enforce Peace. This t
meeting included representative I
men and women of the United States /
and other countries. , t
Throughout five thousand years \
of recorded history. Peace, here and 1
there established* has been kept, I
and ita ace* has Tjeen widened in e
one way only. Individuals have fc
combined their efforts to suppress n
violence in the local commumity. g
Communities have co-operated to s
maintain the authoritive state and 1
to preserve peace within ita bordem. v
States have formed leagues or Con- n
federations or have otherwise co-op- a
erated to establish peace among c
themselves. Always peace has been s
made and kept, when made and h
kept at all, by the superior power t
of superior numbers, acting in unity h
for the common good. Mindful of t
this teaching of experience, it seems b
that the time has come to devise h
and to create a working union of e
sovereign nations to establish peace e
among themselvfes and to guarantee li
it by all known and available sane- F
tions at their command, to the end a
that civilization may be conserved, u
and the progress of mankind in com
fort, enlightenment and happiness p
may continue. e
President Wilson, Ex-President t;
Taft, Viscount Grey, Secretary for 1
Foreign Affairs for Great Britain, F
M. Briand.Premier and Minister of L
Foreign Affairs of France, Dr. Von [
Bethmann-Hollweg, Chancellor of w
Germany and many other thought- d
ful Statesmen of all countries are r
In favor of such a League. a
Here are. the Proposals of the
league to enforce Peace:
PROPOSALS
Vlrot' All iunticiable Questions
arising between the signatory pow- V
era, not settled by negotiations, h
shall, subject to the' limitations of S
treaties, be submitted to a judicial I
tribunal for hearing and judgment,
both upon the merits and upon any b
issue as to its jurisdiction of the a
question. ? S
_ Second: All other Questions aris
ing between the signatories and not tl
settled by negotiation, shall be sub
mitted to a council of counciliation e
for hearing, consideration and rec- h
ommendation. ?
Third: The signatory powers ?
shall jointly use forthwith both their n
economic and military forces against f
any one of their number that goes
to war, or commits acts of hostility,
against another of the signatories v
before any question arising shall be j;
submitted as provided In the__fore- ?
going. '
Fourth: Conferences' between p
the signatory powers shall be held ,
from time to time to formulate and
codify rules of international law, a
which, unless some signatory shall j.
signify its dissent within a stated e
period shall thereafter govern in
the decisions of the Judicial Trib- p
una! mentioned in Article One. I

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. SA
RAH WOOOARD BARBER
I] Im. Frtacli I. VliitM.
When I hear of the death of a
friend I try to recall when I first
met him or her. In the spring of
186$ at the Methodist church gate,
in Wind&or I remember seeing my
mother speak to Mrs. Littleton
Johnson. That is* the first time I
jver saw her. Mrs. Barber was
lorn in Southampton County, Vir
ginia, January 30, 1830. Her par
snts were Jessie Woodard and his
,vife, who was Miss Elizabeth Hines.
She married Mr. William Alexander
Kemp, Glouster County, Virginia,
December 7, 1862, and prior to the
var they moved to Windsor where
hey lived but a few years when her
lusband died June 9, 1856. One
iiild survived him, Elnora Kemp,
ny boyhood friend-and schoolmate
it the W;ndsor Academy. She
narried my friend Mr. James A.
)avig. After the war Mrs. Kemp
narried Mr. Littleton Johnson, who
ived five but years, dying April 29,
871. The three children who were
?orn to tftem are living; my friends
Ion. Walter R. Johnson, Lawyer,
Ihoskie; Luther L. Johnson, Ser
reant of Polic^Phoebus, and Jessie
Voodard Barber, farmer, Windsor.
A ra Tnknann marriod Mr PViflrtm
larber Feb. 12. 1877. He died sev
ml years ago. No children were
?orn to them. Mrs. Barber leaves
lineteen grandchildren and three
Teat-grandchildren. Early in life
he joined the Methodist chnrch.
"he hope of meeting her at the ser
ice'haa carried me to worship there a
umber of times. Her's was indeed
, ripe old age. There was no de
ay in it, body, heart and mind
ound and clear to the end. The
and of death simply?untied
he thread of life that boand her to
er friends and loved ones and she
rent to greater joy and happiness
eyond. Her life took us. far back
?> the past. An excellent memory
nabled her to bring forward inter
sting events and people to the de
ght of those she conversed with. -
ler church membership was not
imply nominal; it was a real devout
nion of her self with the Master.
Her friends were many and she
rized them. She was a lady of
xcelient mind and gentle disposl
ion. Her funeral was held in the
lethodist church yard on Monday,
'eb. 26, 1917, her pastor, Rev. D.
i. Hayman,. reading the services,
[era was a long and useful life filled
rith good pure thoughts and gentle
?eds. She had well earned the
est prepared for those who love
nd serve the Love Lord. - ,

MOVIES POPULAR AS
HEALTH EDUCATOR
Health moving picture* like other
progressive things, it seems, have a
tendency to move westward. Last
summer the motion picture health
car of the State Board of Health
[filled contracts in Union and Anson
counties and since that time the
pictures have been in demand by
her counties of that section. The
counties dated up so far for this
feature of educational health work
ar? Iredell, Rowan, Davidson, For
syth, Lee, New Hanover, and the
city of Greenaboro. Catawba, Lin
coln and Wake, besides a number of
towns and communities, have appli
cations now pending.
According to the State Board of
Health, the health.moving pictures
are making their own way. The
services of an advanced agent are
no longer needed. All that is need
ed is a guarantee of the first week's
expenses which are $90, and the
"movie'outfit" does the rest. The
records are that the audience for
the second presentation is an in
crease of about 25 per cent over the
first, while the third shows about
the same increase over the second.
In other worda, the longer the pic
tures show in a place or the oftener
they return, the more popular do
they become. It is understood,
however, that each presentation is
a new program of pictures.
Another interesting thing con
nected with these "movies" is the
commercial benefit* that follow in
their wake, particularly as far as 1
they affect dentists and druggists.
For instance, a number of druggists '
themselves said that they have had
to inciease their orders for tooth
brushes and dental creams to meet
the demand, while dentists were ;
given more permanent jobs in a
number of places. Then there's an
aesthetic value that unconsciously
follows. Homes and living condi
- i 1
tions are improved and made health
ful and attractive from the memo
ries of the health moving pictures. 1

DEATH OFJNPAKTT
On March the 9th, 1917 the little
spirit of J. T. Harrell Jr. infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Harrell was
wafted on angels wings into the
the presence of God and his soul
was ushered into that land of etern
al day whence the night never com
eth Ao more forever.
Little J. T. was a very precocious
child for his age and it was such a
joy to watch his/ development from
day to day.
Many hearts are saddened because
that happy little face and sweet
smile will be seen no more in their
midst.
We cannot understand why this
darling baby was taken just as he
had grown so interesting and prom
ised such a jewel to the home. But
God's ways are not our ways, and
there will be mysteries untill we see
him "face to face" and "know even
as we are known."
Funeral services were held by pas
tor H. H. Honeycutt Saturday after
noon. After which the body ?U
laid to rest in the family burying:
ground.
My heart goes out to the heart
broken parents, sisters and little
brother in this hour of trrief.
Words cannot express my sorrow
and sympathy for the bereaved ones.
I commend them to the great Com
forter who alone can heal their
broken spirits.
How lonely the parents shall be;
but it will be only a few short years
at most until they shall be united in
that eternal home, heaven, where
hearts are never crushed in part
ing. T
A little vacant chaiT is by the
fireside; It fond voice is stilled; two
little hands once busy with cherish
ed toys lie folded over a still heart,
but a new harp has been attuned in
Heaven and the little hands ?are
beckoning loved onea to the glory
land.
