On Monday morning, while every
one concerned with the court was
watting for the 6 o'clock train to get
In- at 10 o'clock and bring with it
Judge Kerr, a commotion arose in
the court house that looked for a
moment as' though It might wind up
In grave Constances. A searching
party was discovered feverishly hunt
ing for something that had been lost.
It was evidently of lnestlitfable value,
for E. L: Sawyer, Clerk of the Court,
eemed extremely worried over the
loss. After much diplomatic ma
neuvering the reporter for this paper
discovered what it was and offered
to lend his sympathy and assistance.
It was to no avail, however, and a
sort of solemn forbodlng of dire ca
lamity seemed to rest on the face of
the clerk, of the court when he was
finally satisfied, that the several
pieces of red cedar that he had
placed on the bench to fill In the Idle
moments of the Judge were lost be
yond recall. -
Everybody knows that "Jerry"
Sawyer, as his Kiwanlan brothers af
fectionately know him, Is one of the
champion whlttlers In the State of
North Carolina. It Is said that Mr.
Sawyer has whittled enough red
cedar in his time to make hope chests
for all the "hopers" now in Eliza
beth City. It has been noted that a
great many deep thinkers find some
thing to occupy their fingers that
ioes not require any application of
the brain when they are using that
brain tor deep concentration, and it
is an acceded fact that it helps and
It o happens that Judge Kerr is not
altogether averse to a nice piece" of
red cedar and a sharp knife himself.
' The clerk of the court had placed
the cedar along with a wet stone on
the Judge's desk and the Janitors of
the court house evidently believing
that a couple of pieces of ordinary
stick had no place upon the desk of
bis honor and removed it, causing the
calamity.

Immediately following the hearing

Rather than see Pasquotank take
the backward step of giving up tick
eradication work at this time and
under existing circumstances, Dr.
Hartwell Robbing of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture has takon
the responsibility of directing Dr.
W. H. Williamson, County inspector
for Pasquotank, to continue the work
until Dr. Robbing can have an oppor
tunity to come Wore the Board.
"If it becomes necessary," says Dr.
Robbing in a letter to Chairman Bur
foot of the County Board of Com
missioners, "I will pay the County
Inspector out of my own private
funds." So tick eradication in Pas
quotank has a new lease of life.
Dr. Robbing was apprised by
Chairman Burfoot of the attitude of
the Commissioners on tick eradica
tion prior to this month's meeting
of the Board and invited to be pres
ent at the meeting, but was unable
to attend because, on that date he had
an engagement to attend the meet
ing of the County Board of Robe
son. In his letter to Chairman Bur
foot Dr. Robbing expresses regret at
the action taken by the Commis
sioners and hopes that It will be re
considered. "There are," he says, "still gome
quarantine herds that should be
dipped next year because when your
Board suspended work before there
was a promiscuous movement of cat
tle from quarantine premises, which
relnfested premises already freed of
ticks. Now with such a few quaran
tine premises left it does look like a
pity to withdraw your support from
the work when it is so near comple
tion." But Mr. Burfoot says that the
County Commissioners have been
hearing such "near ' completion"
promises now for two years and he
does not attach much weight t0
them. However, he has no objection
to the work's being conducted on the
terms outlined by Dr. Robbing and
has so informed the doctor.
