Nelson Brown, charged with operating an automobile for hire without license, was dismissed, evidence being presented to the effect that the transportation was rendered only for accomoda tion and the guilt, if any, was merely technical. Pete Hobbs, drunk and disor derly, paid a fine of $10.00 and costs. Robert Daniel, speeding, was fined $5.00 and costs. Charlie Pierce, charged with being drunk and disorderly, paid a fine of $10.00 and costs. Rodwell Parker, carrying con cealed weapons, was sent up to Halifax under $100.00 bond. Gertrude Milby, prostitution and assignation, was held for Halifax Superior Court, under 200.00 bond. C. L. Barnes, charg ed with aiding and abetting in this case, forfeited a bond of $100.00 and departed for parts unknown. Lloyd Davis, Jack Jackson, Noah Jackson and Clyde Jones, charged with cursing, swearing, and being generally disorderly, contributed an even hundred dol lars, $25.00 a piece, and the costs. Horace Catling and Sidney Harding, gentlemen of color, who were visiting a brother suffering durance vile in the town jail, and were incarcerated with him for a night by Chief R. H.

Miss Anne Weeks to Give Recital Miss Sue Kyle Southwick, pi anist, Miss Anne Weeks, soprano, Miss Davis, reader, members of the faculty of St. Mary's (Epis copal) School of Raleigh, will give a recital in the auditorium of the High School next Friday night, April 28th, at eight o'clock. Miss Southwick won the prize of a &7ind piano offered to mem bers of the iano department of the Senior Class iibe New Eng land Conservatory of lu'Jie in Boston, May 3rd, 1918. The Galveston News says of her ''The playing of Miss SiUthwick, was a gem of RubensUin inter pretation, the wonderful accuracy and brilliant technique standing out prominently in the after noon's memories. The Houston Post "Technique is clear and crisp and she plays- with music ianly feeling and fine taste." The News and Observer has this to say of her "Though young in years, she plays with the assur ance and poise of a mature ar tist." ; The Corriere Delia Sera of Milan, Italy, in speaking of Miss Weeks "The prima donna Sig norina Anne Weeks who sang the name roles (Norma and Aifia), has a beautiful voice of good range and perfect intonation, which she nses with intelligence and. ease. The large audience were enthusiastic in their appre ciation and we predict a splendid career for the young artist." After singing in Carnegie Hall New York City, the New York Tribune commented on her voice as being "clear, vibrant and per fectly intoned soprano." The Los Angeles Examiner carried the following item after her appearance in her home city, "Miss Anne Weeks of this city has returned after yeah of study and singing abroad and was re ceived with great enthusiasm last night by a large audience of her old friends and admirers. Los Angeles may justly be proud ot the young artist who has ac complished much since she was aat reard here. Her voice is a l)4niitlfnl true soprano which she handles with much ease." At the outbreak of the war abroad in l'.14, Miss Weeks was preparing for a winter of opera tic engagements in Italy, after six years of studying and singing in Germany and Italy. First news of the conflict reached her in the Swiss Alps, where she was resting preparatory to a tour of Northern Italy in opera. All Americans abroad were urged to leave the country immediately, but she received consular consent to postpona her departure until completion of her tour in which she was to sing the title role in "Norma" and Lenora in "11 Trovatore", She proved so suc cessful in her initial engagement mat wneii it ended she wasi sought for a second, but was forc ed to give up her plans upon re ceipt of a letter from the Ameri can Ministry at, Rome regret ting tne ntcessity but insisting that she return home owing to Italy's prance to the war.

L. Travis, Sr.; Kehukee, L. W. Leggett, Leon Shields. The business for which the convention had been called hav ing been completed, the Chair man announced that the conven tion was ready to listen to any delegate who cared to address the convention. Mr. W. T. Shaw, of Weldon, made a brief talk in which he alluded to the great unrest which permeated the body politic to-day. The time wab not ripe, in his opinion, for the dis closure of the remedy. Mr. E. L. Travis, referred to as the hero of many battles, made a brief talk, in which he referred to the fact that, taxes collected in Hali fax county had risen within his memory from fifty thousand to five hundred thousand dollars a year. Mr. Travis thought too much money was being spent on road3 and schools. He also thought salaries should be re duced in some instances, and that some salaries unnamed might be profitably eliminated altogether. Mr. J. H. Moss re ferred to the mass meeting held in Halifax in January a year ago, at which time a resolution calling for lower taxes had been passed. "We asked for bread and. we received a stone" said Mr. Moss. Mr. Paul Kitchin spoke in criti cism of the Board of Education and the Highway Commission, too much money was being spent too much money was being wast ed, there was too much slate making behind closed doors. Mr. Kitchin referred humorously to his having been eliminated from the road board by the w'r,. He also referred to the January, D21, mass meeting and criticised the county representation i l the Stfte Legislature for alleged failure to heed instructions given by that mass meeting. Senator V. L. Long thought that the wish for lower taxes was universal. a lower tax rate. Referring to his action in regard to mass meeting instructions, he stated that he had been actuated solely by what he thought was for the lest interests of the county, he vanted the county to lead not ag, he believed the majority of 'he people of the county were in vor oi progress, he had no r in St APRIL 21, 1922 COLLIER-WICKER On last Monday evening at 8 P. M.f in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Hamlet, a very pretty wedding was solemnized when Mis3 Mollie Wicker became the bride of Mr. Rufus Collier, Rev. R. H. Broom performing the ceremony. The bride was gowned in a gray suit The ceremony was performed in the presence of only a few intimate friends. They left Tuesday for Lillington to spend a few days after which they will be at home to their friends in Roanoke Rapids. The young couple are well known here and have many friends who wish them success and happiness. W. S. H0CKADAY TAX LISTER The Board of Town Commis sioners at a meeting held on last Thursday morning appointed Mr. W. S. Hockaday town tax lister for the year 1922. apology to make, if reelected to the State Senate and confronted with a similar issue he would pursue the same course he had in the past. He deprecated the the criticism of a Democratic organization by a Democratic Convention, and called attention to the fact that leaving aside the fifteen cents spent by the Board of County Commissioners in up keep of courts, jail and poor house, the balance of the $1.35 tax rate was spent by the High way Commission, of which Mr. Kitchin wis a member, and the Board of Education of which Mr. Daniel was Chairman. Mr. W. E. Daniel resented the "passing of the buck" to him. He did not think the Board of Education wasted money. The County Superintendent of Education was in his opinion one of the best in j North Carolina, and could get a job elsewhere at higher salary any time. He thought the High way Commission wasted money and mentioned the fact that thirty thousand dollars was spent bv the Commission in organiza tion and administrative expenses before a shovel full of dirt was turned on the roads. Mr. J. T. Chase stated he could not sit silent under attacks upon the Highway Commission, especially when made by a member of that Commission. He stated that he would not sit again upon the Highway Commission, with Mr. Paul Kitchin, that Mr. Kitchin had actually attended meetings of the Commission only forty five minutes during the months of January, February and March that Mr. Kitchin had advocated the expenditure of sixty thous and dollars for the purpose of buying a railroad with which to build roads in the county, which road was not bought by the Commission, that Mr. Kitchin had urged the Commission to spend the funds it had on hand in the construction of roads and offered when the money was gone to go out and get other funds, which Mr. Kitchin had not done. Mr. Kitchin replied in humorous vein, expressing surprise at Mr. Chase's attitude and feeling, concluding by call ing for a new set of officers and stating that he would go into every precinct in the county in support of a new regime. Aft'r cljseuswinn the conven tion adopted the Long resolution twice amended and adjourned after passing this resolution. The; resolution is as follows: Resolved, that the Democratic Convention of Halifax County in body duly assembled do now go on record as favoring most rigid economy in administrative ex penses especially for educational purposes and maintenance of roads and recommend to the of ficers of the county that, in so far as may be possible consistent ith proper maintenance, that tbjy make every effort to reduce tjeir expenditures in order that i'e tax rates may be reduced: that the representatives and the senator who may be nominated and elected by the Democratic party shall be instructed to en act legislation reducing the salar ies of all officers in the county as much as possible. Resolved further, that it is the sense of tins meeting that the rate of the tnunty be reduced to a rate not to exceed 1.00.
