I1URFREESB0R0 CITIZENS HOLD MASS MEETING FOR PURPOSE OF RETAINING CHOWAN COLLEGE Aurfreesboro Citizen* Hold A Meeting in Interest of the College. >0 NOT LIKE IDEA OF REMOVING COLLEGE erertl Committees Appointed to Help Along Murfrees boro'* Cause & (Special to the Herald.) Murfreesboro, N. C.?There was a eneral mass meeting held in the own Hall in Murfreesboro on Thurs ay afternoon to discuss the rumor rhich has been circulated and pub ished in the press of the State sug e^sting that CHOWAX COLLEGE >t removed from Murfreesboro to ome other town on account of the act that Murfreesboro lacks adequ te railroad facilities. Mr. D. C. iarnes was made chairman of the neeting and Mr. W. A. McGlohon, Secretary. There was a large crowd of repre er.tative citizens present and a gen ra! discussion upon the question nd many strong speeches made in vhich it was pointed out; that Cho van College, formerly the Chowan ia;tist Female Institute, was gound r 1845, and was later turned over o the Chowan Association and has seen now for many years under the lirection of a Board of Trustees ap ir.ted from the Chowan and #West > i wan Associations and has been through all these years the seat of earning for the young Baptist wom en and young women of othe denomi aati >ns throughout the entire eas h???? section or the state; mat its present location is just outside of the town of Mlirfreesboro, a town that is known for its culture and refine ment and its high standards of mor als and so ideally located in the town that while its students enjoy the fa cilities of trade and church advanta- : (res they are also far enough remov ed that their studies are not interfer ed with; that its C>mpus and grounds were laid out many decades ago with ?reat care and have been the pride > ff succeeding management, and here it has a large Four Story Building which could not be duplicated or | built in this or any other State for Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, set amid natural surroundings which could not be secured elsewhere or produced for any amount of money; coupled with this is the great love and affection and the tender memor ies that rest in well nigh every home iA this Chowan section by reason i of the fact that mother or the grand mother of that home was educated at Chowan College in Murfreesboro. NO OTHER PLACE could ever be the REAL HOME OF THIS SCHOOL ?It was also pointed out, that whifp the College is not situated in a town to which a railroad actually runs, that there is a boat line which ren ders adequate and ir >mpt freight facilities, three daily mails and ex press, and that the college is within thirty minutes automobile ride of the , Seaboard Air Line and fifty minutes ride of the Atlantic Coaat Line rail roads and since the general use of automobiles, regardless of other me an ^ of facilities, the greater number of students come and go to the school by this mean*, and on account of the ideal location ot th? College, in thr midst of the wonderful Roanoke I )' | Chowan Section, where by reason of roads, which are already good, and which are being more rapidly impro ved than ever before, it is more ac cessible to the sections from which the students come by means of auto mobiles than any other, and although the fact that the town is not located on a railroad, it is to its advantage from a financial and business stand point, yet this fact is to its advan tage u the Home of ? School for t young women, placing them in ? quiet spot, away from the contaminating of the day, which are adding weakness influences of the fads and fancies rather than strength to human char acter. The unusual heatthfulness of the place was also pointed out showing that in all these years there | had been but little illness and had never occurred but one death among the student body. There were universal expressions of disaproval of the idea of remov ing this College and unanimous res olutions were passed appointing a committee of substantial citizens to make such arrangements as will meet the needs of transporting the stu dents, who may desire to reach the College otherwise than by their own conveyance; another committee was appointed to take up the question with the Board of Trustees and also to at tend the Association at Seaboard ? setting forth the reasons why the College for young women should re main in Murfreesboro ,and another to secure subscriptions to be used in adding to the equipment of the College in order that the fund which this College will receive from the Educational Board may be used in additional buildings and for its per manent endowment. These commit tees are already at work and are al so meeting with success. This was perhaps the most enthu siastic meeting that has been held in Murfreesboro for years and jud ging from the spirit shown, the people of this vicinity do not intend that CHOWAN COLLEGE which has for so long been its CHIEF PRIDE AND JOY, shall be carried elsewhere. 0 9 MILES JUST COMPLETED "> ______ EDENTON'S several mile* of pret ty Asphalt Street pavement, which has just been completed, is one rea son why the CHOWAN FAIR ASSO CIATION will have the largest crowds and Biggest fair in its his tory.

CENSUS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REVALUATION Washington, Oct. 11?That the facts and figures gathered by the en umerators, supervisors and special agents of the Fourteenth Decennial Census will have absolutely nothing to do with valuation of property for taxation purposes is a point I desire to emphasize with all possible vigor" said Director of the Census, Samuel L. Rogers today in speaking of the forthcoming 1920 enumeration." 'Some difficulty has been experien ced in the past," continued Mr. Ro gers, "in getting absolutely accurate values of land and other property be cause of a certain amp.unt of confu sion over this point. Many people were erroneously inclined to con nect the Ceusus with the taxation. We hope to avoid any sue hconfusion this time." The Act of r.nnjrr??? under-i the Constitution, provides for the ta- j king of the Fourteenth Decennial Census makes it unlawful for any enumerator, special a^ent, supervis-1 or or other employee of the Census Bureau to divulge any information whatsoever concerning the census; returns. Aheavy fine and a possi ble imprisonment, or both, is the pe nalty pr?scribed for the violation of this provision of the law. The proper tabulated figures of the Census are given out nowhere but in Washington and then only upon ex press authority of the Director of the Census. Actual work by the enumerators in the various census districts will begin on ?anuary 2, 1920. ~^t is expected that the population statis tics of all cities and towns will be gathered in approximately two weeks. Final figures for rural districts, how ever, can hardly be gathered in less than a month. 0 MORE PORK FOR THE SOUTH Five years afro Mississippi market ed only, 7,600 head of hogs at St. Louis, indicative of the decidedly limited production of pork in that section. Four years later 99,761 hogs were shipped during the 12 mon ths to the same central market, which is an accurate measure of the in crease in populartiy of pork pro ductoin during that period. During the first three months of the year 1919, almost a smany Mississippi hogs were exported from the State as wree shipped out during the*lntire pre ceding year. Of course the high price of fat hogs and the need for a heavy production of meat produ- i cts have accounted largely for this i increase, although much of the de cided gain in popularity of the porker has come as the result of southern farmer* being awakened by county agents and agricultural extension spe cialists to appreciate the South is the ideal raising ground for the hog and these southern fanners have begun to capttallzt their natural resources. WHAT ONE PERSON SAYS ABOUT THE HOME PAPER The HERALD would be glad to give credit to the writer of the fol lowing editorial which sums up con cisely the purpose of the loial news paper. But since we do not know who was responsible for it,instead of taking refuge in the well worn "Ex change" tacked on at the end of the l editorial we take this method of ac knowledging our debt to the man who wrote it. T^ie editorial follows: Our state is dotted with villages, in each of which one or more news papers are published. They do not claim to be a review of the world. These country newspapers appear faithfully week after week, recording the h&penings of the neighborhood, lending assistance to the unfortunate extending sympathy and consolation to the bereaved, chronicling the par .donable pride any improvements in ,the community and bringing the fire side a record of the happenings that are of more importance to the read ers than the crowning of George V. as emporor of India. The country newspaper is of In estimable value in maintaining the moral and financial standard of com-1 munity. It is something in which i the entire neighborhood can feel a 1 comon interest. It is deserving of ; the steady support ,not only of the home folks, but also these who look I back with cherished memories to j their life in the country. ' 0 MAPLETON NEWS ? ?

L. ?j STATE INSPEC TORS AT WORKI State Sanitary Inspector' Have Begun Their Work in the State BEGAN TO MAKE INSPEC ^ TIONS OCTOBER 1ST _____ I Every Section of North Caroli na Will Be vi?it?d by the Inspectors. In nine different sections of the State the people of North. Carolina, on October 1, became acquainted with an entirely new experience. The State Sanitary Inspectors began their work in their respective districts on that date, and this was the first in stance of this kind in the history of the nation. It happens that in this step, which is considered as generally the most progressive step ever taken by a State, North Carolina leads the way as suual. The visitation of the State Sanitary Inspectors therefore is a new experience 'to both the peo ple and to the inspectors themselves. There has been much speculation on the part of the people as to how ' they would get along with the in ! spectors, and vice versa. And, cor [ trary to the views of pessimists, the | people and the inspectors are liking I each other well, and are working in | perfect harmony. This could not | be otherwise among those people who understand the purpose of the inspectors. The object of the law j itself is simply to protect one man against a careless or ignorant neigh bor, and the inspector is merely char ged with the faithful execution of the law. Any one, therefore, who desires such protection as he is un able to get otherwise from those ab out him will hail the inspector as his friend and deliverer. Already, the working of the law has shown cwn* clusiely that the people of North Ca jrolina are not questioning its value and necessity, but, without exception the one question that) arises is this: "What is the best type of construc tion to meet our needs and how and where are we to obtain them?" The Sanitary Inspector, in most instan ces, is able tti give such advice and guidance as may be 'required. Machine Tests Paper Tear* A paper testing machine has been invented by a member of the staff of the Forest Products Labarotory i at Madison. It is expected to render , valuable service to the paper indus- ( try by applying the data regard ins: the strength of the paper?data that has not been easily obtainable here- ' tofore. The difficulty in testing the < tearing strength of paper has always , been in securing a constant force ( of value. Irregularities hi the pa per structure, due to its fibrous na- ' ture, make the reading of the force ' required to tear the paper very un certain. The machine now nearing completion overcomes this difficulty by yielding an average force for the entire tear. It simply measures the t work done in tearing the strip, D>- c viding the work done by the length ( of the tear gives the average tear- i ?ihsj jo mXus} aifx ai-ioj > the same in all cases so that the ma- i chines can be calibrated to read the < average tearing force. i Jama* Stucy Says, "Rat Cost Ma $128 for Plumbing Bill*" I "We couldn't tell what was clog ging up our toilet and drains. We ! had to tear up the floor, the pipes, 1 etc., found a rat's nest in the_base ment. They had choked the pipes with refuse. The plumber's bill was >125. RAT-SNAP cleaned the ro- 1 dent out."

CENSUS WILL REQUIRE CLERKS Many Persons Will Be Wanted for Clerks During Com ing Censu?. LLOYD J. LAWREN?? IS LOCAL SUPERVISOR rf* Applications for These Position Are Wanted During Next Few W*eks The Director of the Census, Hon. Sam. L. Rogers, announces that 80, 000 enumerators will be needed to take the next census. The work be gins on January 2 and will last ab out two weeks in the cities, and a month or two in the rural districts. Rates of pay will vary, depending up on the locality and character of the district to be canvased. The average pay per enumerator at the census of 1910 was about $70. At this coming census it will probably be not less than $100. "Active intelligent and reliable men an women pot less than 18 yrs. of age are needed for this task" said Director Rogers, "and, in a sense this is a call" for volunteers. The Im portance of a complete and relia ble census, especially in these crit ical times when more than ever per haps we need complete data regard ing population, conditions, tenden cies, and resources, can hardly be overemphasized. The reorganization of the social and economic structure and the readjustment of internation al relations necessitated by the war must be based upon accurate infor mation if we are to act wisely and deal justly with all classes and all interests. It is hoped, therefore, that public spirited energetic people throughout the country will volun teer to act as census enumerators even though they may not care for the positions so far as the pay is concerned. I should be sorr^ to think, and I do not believe, that all our patriotism was used up by the War and none left over for public-ser vice in times of peace." Lloyd J. Lawrence, Supervisor of the Census for the First District of North Carolina, which includes the counties of Bertie, Camden, Chow an, Currituck, Dare, Hertford, Pas quotank, Gates, and Perquimans, sta tes that he will need about 60 enum erators for this district. Applica tions for requests or application form should be sent to him on or before October 15.. His addres is Murfrees boro, N. C. As a testoi their fitness For the work applicants will be re quired to fill out a sample schedule tnd will be duly notified of the time ind place for the test. So far as is practicable the place selected will >e one which is easily aceasible. 0 Administrator'* Notice Having qualifie das administrator >f the estate of Missouri Darden, de ceased, late of Hertford County, N. 3., this is to notify all persons hav ntr claims against the estate of the laid deceased to exhibit them to the indersigned at Murfreesboro, N.
