Health Officer Before County Commuaionert . v .Hr O'ollil.a. of the Suite Hoard of Health vwu- before the County llard of-Commissioners lust Monday with propositi 10 put on a health cam pa iff n for t lie County. 'i he I'niteil Suites under the Smith- Towner Ait asswt* slates anil iVtyn tiCfc'in special health campaigns. The yeiieral plan JS to go about one-third each Tn the rxpenne and the Work to be djyic under tin* organization of tljg State Hoard of Health. There are about seven hundred births in Martin county each year, and an average of about -350 deaths. Of the deaths more than half are un (jiei' tw« year- of age. Such a hitch death rate is unneces sary and astounding. There are, of course, many causes for so many deaths, but by far the largest number die from ignorance; not the child's ignorance, but ignor ance of the mother or it may be that of an attending mid wife. More than half, it is estimated, of the births are attended by mid-wives. The Fiddler's Convention Something that will appeal to the largest possible number of people will be staged when the Fiddlers' conven tion is held in the Koanoke warehouse. The Chamber of Commerce is on the job and if the present plans are not The Trouble Lies Within the Home What will (lie 1-fTrcts be ? A dou l>le murder, resulting'from a family quarrel, carries more thari sorrow ami rief; it lessens the horror and grief, ami t bought it be little by lit tle it paVes the way for such crimes. The average home in America today too often divides its path. The courts have before them cases to thrash out pertaining to abandonment, divorce, family fights and family quarrels. We come along ami talk about the modern Reviewing the Tax Rate of Our Country What about taxes? VN ill the peo ple fee able to stand them ? t One is pitched into a chasm of a t thousand thoughts and wotnlers when— the tax rate for our county is review- ) ed. 1 The record of our county shows the following tax levies for each year for | live years. , For the year 1921, the rate was: ( tor general county tax 15; for in terest account and bridges 8 1-2; for schools .60, making a total of .71! 1-2. _ For the year 1922: General county tax .15; Itoad, bridg v" et and interest .19 1-2; general school, .39; general school building fund, 7 1-2, total .81. For the year 1923: General county tax, .15; school tax, * .60; road and bridge tax, .06; in terest and sinking fund .20, total 1.00. For the year 1924: General county tax .16; general Bchool ,75; interest and sinking fund .25; roads and bridges, .05, total 1.20. For the year 1925: General county tax, .15; schools, .96; Interest and sinking fund, .30; roads and bridges, .10, total tax 1.50. Thetricre*»e from 1921 to 1022 was ten per cent; from 1922 to 1923, 20 1-t per cent; fro* 1928 to 1924 an increase of 20 per cent and from 1924 to IW6 the increase is 26 per cent. - Ls - Ft High brow society refrains from e discussing such yet there t ere thousands oflame, blind and dis i eased people going about everywhere who need not have been so. This does not take into consideration - the sin diseases which will have to be" i combatted in the Court and in the I I'ulptt. J The purpose of the campaign is f solely to train mothers and expectant mothers and inidwives. 1 The cash value to the County can , not be estimated nor can the preven . Hon of human suffering be measur ed. Yet, we all know that every blind or crippled person is a libality to - either the county or to his people, and the best way to reduce taxes is 5 by making every person a capable » producer. ; The Hoard of Commissioners heard - the'proposal but did not act upon it. I Many counties—of the State arc al i ready engaged it) the same work and ■J it should be put on in Martin coun lty> ' ' »; altered, one of the biggest and bestj I j conventions ever held in Kastern - Carolina will be when fiddlers from J all parts'of the State will meet at sj the Koanoke warehouse, Monday, tj August 17. girl—the llapper. Trace back a step and say the trouble lies within the home and with the parents of the ' home. While a father and a brother lies in a cemetery, it can't be so much \ more worse than when a nfutrimonal tie, one that is to be held as the mosti , sacred of all, is broken just for some e young man or woman to have to lead n a sorrowful life while the years drag.' For the five year period from 1921 to 1925, the increase of all taxes amounted to 104 3-4 per cent. —The. increase in the school tax in 1925 over 1922 umounts to 104 1-3 per cent. Such enorhious increases natural ly make the tax payers wonder if vM are having double the number of., schools, twice as as they were three years ag^So faV as roads and bridges are cmiceroed, it is generally conceeded/Chat "we are doing less each [ year- for most every township is tax ing itself for road building. This re lieves the county of considerable cost. The State has taken over 70 miles ofj our roads and keeps them up, reliev ing the county of all cost on that 70 miles; Practically every school in the coun ty levies special local taxes for both building, and maintenance. The County spent for fiscal year, ending June 30, the sum of $41,725.28 as follows: ; County poor $ 2,267.60 i County home , 2,772.67 - Court house and jail 1,692.40 I Office supplies 1,860.98 ) Roads and bridges 4,218.64 i ; „*■ - ~r~-- - - . j Superior court —2,468.2( 4 Recorder's court 2,080.0( Miscellaneous 24,944.7' * ALL IN THE PAY'S WORK ♦ » A.

Why Mr. Norwood Won't Back-Stand the Suit r A young lawyer at Paces, Virginia, has instituted a suit in Federal court asking the appointment of a receiver for the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association. He wrote a letter, which was published, asking President (Jeorge A. Norwood of the as- - sociation for resources with which to prose cute the suit. HERE'S MR. NORWOODS REPLY "1 desire to very frankly to you that I have had the opportunity to observe your activities against the association prior to the institution of this suit. I cannot convince myself that you are acting for the benefit of the association. I can only conclude that you are desirous of destroying it. You have stated to the Executive Committee of the association, in my presence, that you were not a member of the association, although you were eligible for membership. I cannot comprehend how a man who has refused to join this association and who has, since Us organisation, sold his tobacco at auction can be the 'disinterested friend* - "---- you claim to be. "I would remind you further that upon one occasion when you appeared before the Executive Committee you confessed ' /"-) . i that you had approached certain members of the association and sought employment with the promise to them that your services would cost them nothing. r- .-' "With these things in mind I cannot he) ieve that the motives which actuate you now are different from the motives which actuated you then. 1, therefore, cannot advise the board to lend you any assistance as a friend of this association." Won't All Loyal Members Say "AMEN" to That? • * _ M •'* *** - v -.•• • ; r Guard Against All "Last Ditch" Propaganda ** - r ■*' * . . ... V ~ • r- _■ - % - ' .
