For ye have not received the spirit of hondaee again to fear: but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Romans 8:14-16. OH, FOR THE LIFE OF A POLICEMAN 1 Special Night Patrolman M. G. Owens says he is being criticized for not taking any steps to rid the streets and public places in Hertford of drunks. There seems to be a large number of these habitual drinkers who roam the down town section late at night, stopping at the business places which are open. These men stagger about the streets, or they loll around where they can find comfortable places, and, though they may not actually conduct themsefoec in a disorderly manner, they are at times nuisances. That Officer Owens walks by these men, sees them behaving thus, watches them perhaps, seems to the uninformed that he is not doing his duty. They say he ought to arrest these drunks. That there is no law forbidding thi sstate of affairs is not generally known. It happens, however, that Perqui mans County is one of the counties of the State which is excepted from the provisions of the statute which makes it a misdemeanor to appear in public places while intoxicated. There are a number of other coun ties so excepted. A great many towns and cities located in these counties have enact ed laws to protect themselves. Hert ford seems not to have taken this step. kwrert umi" utorugnt into "court, the charge being drunk and disorderly. Asked how they plead, the anawer is almost invariably, "guilty of being drunk, not guilty of being disorder ly," which of course, is equal to a plea of not guilty, as it is generally known by these simple drunks, as they are termed, that there is no law against being drunk. Hard indeed is it to get evidence to convict a man of the charge of being drank and disorderly. The witnesses weaken and when they are asked if they con- J sider the defenant was disorderly, the answer is more often than not to the contrary. Most people appear to be sorry for the drunken man who is not dis orderly. He is generally a harmless individual whom nobody wishes to prosecute. They only wish to be rid of him while he is troublesome. The public may object to the sight of these drunks roaming about the streets or going into public places. The sight isn't ? pleasant one, but no criticism of the officer for not ar resting one of these simple drunks is justified. It is not against the law to be rln-nk on Hertford's streets or in Hertford's public places, unless you are also disorderly. Cotton Seed Certified Farm Relief, Strain 2.

Supply Limited SEE US FOR PRICES Cotton MWWMMMI I I :4 HIT OR MISS It is interesting to note that the, list of members of the Farm Bureau, the farmer? organization which- is being formed in the County includes, in addition to a number of other prominent farmers, Dr. E. S. White president of the Hertford Banioag Company; Earl M. Perry, chairman of the Board of County Commission ers: J. W. Ward, Register of Deeds; and W. E. Dail, member of the Board of Education. The way every one seems to re joice in the beautiful spring-like weather we are having now, which offers such a contrast to the long, cold spell of ice and snow, calls to mind a little doggerel which runs like this: If you want a man to appreciate - heaven well Give him some fifteen minutes of i-eU. And if vou want him to suffer the the pangs of hell, Just keep him in heaven a speii. Somebody's liquor supply is apt to run low. That still which Sheriff J. E. Winslow and his deputies cap tured the other night was a pretty important affair, capable of running 720 gallons of liquor every twenty four hours. In addition to the 45 trallons of liauor conflcated by the officers.there were 5,000 gallons of mash. The engine was a 20-horse Dower affair. It was located a mile and a quarter from Hertford. The weening willow tree on the MoMiillnn lawn on the Point has begun to turn green this week.

Citizens Frfcejy Discuss Paving: Sidewalks (Continued from Page One) two streets were Grubb -and Edenton Road. Mr. Newbytated that it was often necessary for the children to abandon the muddy sidewalks and to walk in the streets, which was obviously dangerous. W. C. Dozier, when the matter of the sewerage project and the street paving project were referred to him, stated that the sewer project could be secured at less cost to the town than the sidewalk project. Numerous others present asked questions and made suggestions, but it seemed to be generally accepted that the proper procedure would be to get estimates of the cost of the sewerage, the paving and the re pairing projects, as well as to learn by canvassing the property owners their wishes in the matter before any steps could be taken, and the meeting adjourned with the under standing that another mass meeting would be called as soon as the in formation is in hand for Planting! i x ll. .n. nrr i r " " n "- -i-"' Jhe OLDEST APARTMENT HOUSE; in -USA-jTAOS wWDmMBi JVULU HAS A MODERNIZED APARTMENT CHIEF LOOKING ELK.
