Hertford cSity flertild gSfc PUBLISHED WEEKLY BT VINSON * PARKE? OWNERS AND PUBLISHERS '*. BOY PARKER Editor J. MAYON PARKER........Manager SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: Ooe Year Six' Month*........ ?j..'- .76 IhrM Months 40 ADVERTISING RATES: Very reasonable and .made known on En ed as second-class matter Feb ruary 25th, 1910, at the post office ah Ahoskie, N. C., under the Act of March 3rd, 1878. Farmers, you cannot be true to yourself if yon market your pro duce at Dricea that do not allow a margin of profit. Then, make the business of farming profitable by holding your peanuts for nine cents. Statesmen are agreed that the law making body of Noi th Carolina has this year a rich and ripe oppor tunity to tueod the wpyi of taxa tion employed by this State. The present; Legislature to depended upon to do the right thin*. ?, v:, -?"* - *?s?? Governor Bickett, in his biennial address to the North Carolina Gen eral Assembly, point* theway to a new day in thto .State's (*ixatk>n methods. In . all 99jpen of fee ?tote there is general diwatisfao tien at the incongruous syftern em ployed, The recommendation that a flat poll tax of two dollars be le vied for state purposes only would 1ft an unjust burden from off the shoulders of the poor man. 'Place the burden of taxation upon the person or the business that has the means' is an idea that should be enacted into law"! The present incumbent* of the Ahoskie Town Council have not on ly 'seen th? light', but they have imbued themselves with a purpose to have others see this same light? a light that is all but a flame. The j Council is now actively engaged in framing a new charter for the town. Surveyors are at work plot ting the proposed new additions to the corporate limits; and petitions are bein^ circulated about town and also among those within the dis tricts destined to become a part of the town. There is practically no opposition to the new additions and if there is, an overwhelming bal ance of voters have the beat inter ests of their town ac heart to that ?xtent that wSH 'readily lend their aid to the good work that has been iniated by the town council. To one who is interested in the development of the best interests of Ahoskie it is gratifying to sound th?| wishes of the citizens of the town on a proposed bond issue for the installation of a system of -wat erworks and the improvement of the streets. On every hand is heard favorable comment on the proposi tion to let the people vote. To be sure, if one loiters about the deni mm of those who can always to de pended upon to live true to form, "undesirables", a wailing sound is beard?the wail of burdensome tax ation. In fact, there are some peo ple in Ahoskie as well as in other towns *ho were first iniated into the ligh^ of this world with the ten-, tence 'taxes are too high' fixed on thair tongues' ends) and the pathet ic part of the story is: That delimte nerve which has its beginning with in that space made for a brain and which ultimately controls one's ut kef nttsr Keen tioyclopcd Anat^al rJ5\l|*mll Jfmgue" and no frgUBWOt. , Jhe H?sld has 1 refpect for any person's opinion1 bat it respect* g great deal more the person who has facts to support a well founded opipion. The Her ald still opens its columns to those who can Drove that Ahoskie does not need sewerage and better streets, and that a bond issue is the ?only proper nteans to thet end. Dirigible Air Ship Passes Ahoskie Early Monday morning, about 6 o'clock^ many of th? residents of this town were awakened by the buzzing sound of the navy'B largest dirigible air ship, enroute from Rockway, Beach air station t > Key West, Florida. Many of the early risers caught a glimpse of the light that guided the machine. This machine left the naval air station at Hampton Roads, Va., early Monday morning on its second lapse, from Hampton Roadh to Brunswick, Ga., having made the first lap from Rockway Beach Sun day. The editor who was enroute from Kinston Monday morning ob served the machine from the rail way coach near Greenville. N. C. i ' " I Installing Linotype The Herald is this week re-in stall ingots linotype, preparatory *to publishing a larger and more creditable paper. Owing to the delay in delivering the machine, our New Year holidays were wasted, so far as making ready for our equip ment, and for tbe past two weeks we have had great difficulty in is suing the paper at all on account of making new additions and installing first a power engine and then the linetype. But, the Heaald appreciates tbe many expressions that have been voiced by onr friends, who have been so generous in welcoming . back to newspaperdom this publica tion, and it is our intention to give them the best we have and can hereafter absorb in the way of live news, and bound views.
