J . ? i ? Hertford County Herald HERTFORD COUNTY'S ONLY NEWSPAPER A PAPER WORTH WHILE NOT A BALKER, BUT A PUSHER VOLUME X. AHOSKIE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 5, 1919. (SIXTEEN PACES) No. 21 Hertford County Herald's Tobacco Edition THE FARMERS ARE OUR GUESTS ,.r ?. ?-y?* '? v W -*? 1 ~ '/ ~ " _ . . The HERALD, Hertford County's only newspaper, and pri marily a home product, located in Hertford County's most thri ving town, in welcoming to Ahoskie the tobacco raisers today, speaks the minds of every person in the town, when it says "WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU, MR. FARMER, WITH US"! You are thrice welcome to our town, and we want you to make free use of all our resources while here. Business houses throw their doors wide open to you, and the Mayor of the town officially welcomes you in another column of this paper. Ahoskie has no "key" to the town which we can turn ov er to you, brethren; we have no lock to this town. Her gates stand ajar at all times, and especially is she wide open to the class of men that, in the common vernacular, "Makes the mare trof'The Farmer. For, the farmer, long called the "back bone" of the country, was never more deserving that phrase than today. He finds himself urged on by the necessity of the recontsruction period, and to a man they are putting their whole life in an attempt to do their part in this wonderfully remarkable period of our national history. He is still the "boss dog:" and every single agency, no matter how independent may be its nature, must finally look to the staid, never failing far mer to keep him and .his business going. Ahoskie depends upon you farmer* to keep her stores go ing, and the other enterprises of this town are absolutely de pendent upon you. Small wonder, then, that Ahoskie is glad to have you here today. You, tobacco raiser, have done much to forward the growth of Ahoskie during the existence of the tobacco market here. It is you, primarily, who have made it possible for this market to open today with three large ware houses, instead of the one that was located here just a few years ago. Today, instead of having to drive your team to the one warehouse, you have the choice of three, all modernly equipped and doing a thriving business And, we might add that you could not possibly make a mistake in going to either of the three, for they are all working for your interest. Ahoskie is centrally located in that part of the country known as the Roanoke-Chowan section, and we are ideally situated for a central tobacco market; and our location is part ly responsible for the large number of tobacco raisers who are here today. But, due to the energy and efforts of the local warehousemen and other interested parties in Ahoskie, this market has grown from one selling less than a half million pounds to a market of almost two million, that is, nearly two million pounds was sold here last year- With the help of you farmers, and with the sure help of th ebusiness interest of the town of Ahoskie, we will surely reach that five million pound mark this year. Finally, Gentlemen, drive in, unload your tobacco, see the buyers almost "scrap" over who shall pay the highest price for it, walk up and receive your check, and the town is yours. And, every day this market is open, Ahoskie will be yours, and you need have no keys to unlock its gates? they are always ajar when the farmer comes to town. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

LABOR UNIONS FAVOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS Spokesman for Federation of Labor State* Why They Are For League. ORGANIZED WILL HAVE HAND IN RATIFICATION Labor Thinlu Defects Can Be Remedied in League from Time to Time. (San Francisco Blletin) Why organized labor is for the League of Nations is forci bly set forth in a monograph by John H. Walker, formerly president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor and the Il linois District of United Mine Workers. This article, explain i ing the attitude of the Ameri can Federation of Labor at its recent Convention in Atlantic City, N- J-, amplifies the mean ing of the reasons advanced at the meeting in the resolu tions adopted. , Mr. Walker, who is the ac credited spokesman for the Federation, declares labor is for the League of Nations be cause every normal minded person is opposed to war, par ticularly so the thinkers of all classes ?< i _ j n t t ?? ? Ana it is Decause tney Be lieve that a competent, impar tial tribunal, selected from the ablest men in the world, cannot pass judgement on .questions involving humanity without making progress from condi tions obtaining today, that they are strongly in favor of the League of Nations?a tribunal through which, by peaceful means, disputes between na tions can be settled without re sort to wars such as we have just gone through. Every mother's heart has been wrung every father's heart has ached with pain; millions of children have been made fatherless and motherless; billions of property has been destroyed, and a bur den ot taxation has been levied on the human race under which it will stagger for generations. Labor makes a point in the next declaration in which it calls attention to the fact that every person in our own coun try who openly or secretely supoprted the Central powers in the recent war opposes the plan;; that every enemy this Government had during the re cent war ,who was obstruct ing and hindering the govern ment in its efforts to win the war, and who tried to harass the President, is against it: that every profiteer who got rich by betraying the nation and exploiting the depenents of the men who fought the bat tles against it; that Gvery tor . notation r?fuftiag - recognition to unions is against it. ? Labor charges that these men believe in war and want further oppor tunities to exploit the national resources for their own bene fit. I While admitting that there ] may be defects in the covenant < labor insists that they are not | of sufficient gravity to warranj : wrecking the plan, and that t corrections will b? made f time to time as time progress es; that the covenant does not take away any rights we now have, as is intended and Anal ly that it is the only means by which wars in the future may be averted. Mr. Walker's monograph is one of the most convincing ar guments yet advanced in fav or of the League of Nations, and statesmen opposing it will do well to heed to its reason ing, because labor proposes to make itself heard in the deter mination of this question, and men who do not heed will find themselves relegated to private life. Organized labor is de termined that war?from which no imc profits except those who do not need profit, ,and no one loses except those who cannot afford to lose? must cease. And in this po 1 sition organized labor is right. NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE ! FOR AHOSKIE Wholesale Grocery Firm Be |im Business in Town of Ahoskie.

SAYS AHOSKIE MAYOR TO THE TOBACCO FARMERS: Today is the Opening Day of the Ahoskie Tobacco Market, an dthe town bids each and every tobacco farmer a royal and crodial welcome. Your past patronage has made it necessary for us to enlarge our market and today we throw open the doors of our warehouses and feel confident that your liberal patronage will more than justify the enlarged market which Ahoskie has provided for you; but we want you to un derstand that Ahoskie does not wish full credt for this won ful advancement, because it was you, the Tobacco Farmers, who made this possible by your loyal support. This is your day. Te season is yours. The Market is yours. And, Ahoskie wants you to feel that this is literally true. If you should feel inclined to open a bank account, you will find no safer banks than these in Ahoskie and it is ad vised that you do this. If yo ushould desire to make any pur chases in the various mercantile lines, just walk into our sto res and see if you cannot get the big dollar's worth. REMEM BER, that when you patronize AHOSKIE enterprises you are making AHOSKIE grow and the more this good town grows, the bigger the tobacco market will grow; so, in a way the Cjjoney you spend here is in the nature of an investment, because in return we give you better and bigger advantages. AHOSKIE extends to you the glad hand and wish ts for you every comfort while in our midst now and through the entire season- * '1 W. L CURTIS, Mayor of Ahoskie.
