WE MAKE A BOW The Perquimans Weekly makes its bow to Maude Keaton and Blanche Moore Berry, who brought home the honors from the High School Music Contest held in Elizabeth City on Saturday. It is understood that these young girls won against heavy odds. There was a lot of fine talent represented in this contest. Hertford would have been proud to have been represented by one winner. That two of our girls came out victorius and will take part in the state contest is gratifying indeed. Here's to you girls, and to your sweet, young voices. May you go on winning. HIGHLIGHTS Highlights in the charge of Hon. Clawson L. Williams to the Perquim ans County Grand Jury on Monday: You are the very fountain head of justice in this county, and you have a very vital and important part in the administration of law and order in the county.' The people of this community, of any community, do not have any bet ter law enforcement than the senti ment of the people of that commu nity demands, and what the public sentiment is depends upon the char acter of your citizenship. If in your county you have men and women of high character, men and women who have a high conception of their duty as citizens, the law will be enforced and every person will secure from the law the protection of life and prop erty to which they are entitled. Law enforcement should be dear to the hearts of every man and wo man in this county. Everything in the world which during a man's life i time he struggles to achieve, every thing worth while, his hopes, his as pirations, all that he pursues, is ie pendent absolutely upon the law of the land. Every family should have a head, but by that I do not mean that he should rule with an iron hand. You can do a great deal more with a child by disciplining him through making him want to do what you want him to do than you can by forcing him. We have got enough mule in us not to want any one to try to drive us. That is human nature. The child should learn in the home that he must sometimes do some thing that he doesn't wish to do. We do not live in a land where a man may do everything he wants to do. The sooner the child learns in the home that he must take into consid eration the welfare of the other members of the family, the quicker he will be able to learn when he goes out into the world that other citizens have equal rights with him. Sometimes we see men who think law is all right for the other fellow but it doesn't suit him and therefore he doesnt observe it. There is not but one end to that sort of thing. Sooner or later that man winds up in the penitentiary. That course of conduct never ends in a different course that it pursues in. v .There are some things we must do not because of our own interest in them but because of the other man's interest. Liquor has never been controlled by law at any itime in any place , since man first began to pass law, and ikr. never will be. Law help, however, I sometimes wish that the man who advocates liquor " control and who wants to pass certain laws could go through the courts and could see the trail of sorrow and af- . fliotkm that is left in, the, wake of liquor; , & U - e The thing we need it enlighten ment. information. When a man is informed, when he knows what liquor is. he will shun it at he would a rat- t' :r.l.a. ,JWe are approaching - the U7. matter from that direction. We are requiring the public schools to teach now what alcoholism is and what it will do for the boy or girl, man or woman, who uses it. I have seen rt destroy some of the finest men and women I know, cripple them, kill them. Whenever the fathers and mothers of this country realize the duty they owe their children they will begin to teach them what liquor means to them and what it will do for their lives. Teach boys and girls what it is, what it will do for them, and when you do they will solve the problem. You won't need any agita tion then. Whenever the people of this state want their lives protected on the highways by the enforcement of the law they will be protected. If they demand that the laws be enforced the officers will do their part and the juries will do their part. It is an everlasting shame to think of the number of people who are being use lessly, needlessly killed and crippled on our highways. ' Nine times out of ten the fellow who shoots by you on the highway at 75 miles an hour has got nowhere to go and nothing to do after he gets there. A county is great not because of the great industries connected with it, Ms factories and mills; not be cause of its fertile fields. But it is great because of the character of the men and women who are its citizens. IN MEMORIAM Again today we are Med upon to pay our last tribute to one of God's noble women, one who has been like a benediction to the whole community in which she lived. Fannie Mathews, daughter of Wil liam and Sarah Mathews, was born January 20, 1865 and her busy life was ended April 4, 1937, at the age of 72 years. Her girlhood pasBed much as that of the average girl of Civil War days. On August 81, 1881, she was mar ried to James Anderson Russell. To them were born nine children Cora, Callie, James, Watson, Ruth, Thomas, Earl, Annie and Lina. Ruth died 9 years ago. Besides her husband and children she leaves 28 grand-children and eight great grand-children; two sisters, Mrs. Sallie Benton of Hert ford, Mrs. Callie Williams of Eliza beth City and two brothers, Wililam and Edward Mathews, of Perquimans County. She remembered her Creator in her young life and became a member of New Hope Methodist Church. In 1920 she was baptized by Herman Humple and became a member of Berea Christian Church and while she was able greatly enjoyed attend ing services. But her life was not a public one, it was rather of the quiet kind that is a blessing to those whose good fortune is to be her neighbor. She was a' devoted moth er, and truly today, her children can "rise up and call, her blessed." Still her interests did not stop there. ; She was always interested in every thing pertaining to her neighborhood and her many friends and relatives. For several yean her . health has been failing and only rarely was the away from home, but the never ceased to be interested in the church and com munity ajid her cherry, kindly words will be greatly missed. v. i -t : , We feel that the is, only .one more to bind us to-the Great Beyond, for we know there is now another dear one to welcome u to our : Fathers Home, y r t'h1 & "It seemeth each a little way to me across to thai strange land; for -it has grown to be the home of those of whom I am so fond. , THey make it teem familiar and- most dear.

'.. , v; :;:.; Willie Webb, colored, who was tried the previous week in Recorder's court and given sixty days on the roads upon conviction of the charge of as sault with a deadly weapon, and who appealed to Superior court, was sen tenced by Judge Williams to four months on the road. In this case the defense, repre sented by James S. McNider, tendered a plea of guilty after the court had charged the jury that if they found the facts to be as the defendant him self had testified upon the stand they, were to find him guilty of assault upon a female, and if they found from the evidence that the defendant struck Hazel Felton a blow with a knife they should find him guilty of assault with a deadly weapon. Willie had admitted that he slapped Hazel. The plea was accepted and the case did not go to the jury. Sentence was not passed on the young Negro until Wednesday afternoon, when Judge Williams told Willie, "You can't cut womenup and get by with it in North Carolina."
