The law requires all property owners to list property for taxes by January 3 1 or failure to do so results in a penalty being charged .against the property owner. The regular tax listing schedule . appears elsewhere in this paper for your convenience. Consult it today and remember the regular tax listing period will end on January 31, Biography Of R. ft. Cox (Continued From Last Week) In last week's issue of The Perquimans Weekly we pub lished the first half of an au tobiography of R. B. Cox. a na tive of Perquimans County who lived in Hertford in the mid 1800's. . Today we will conclude the story. "' The crops had all been plant ed and most of the Negroes had remained ; at home . working steadily until about the time of my arrival. The - Freedman's Bureau had just . been started and the Negroes finding they were, their - own : master, quit work, Several small Negro boys were left "on the farm with one or two old men. The wealth of the South previ ous to the war was in land and slaves. : The possession of either gave standing and position, al though as a 'general rule ' land gives , a higher social position, still the increase of the Negroes was . so rapid and the availab ility of it in the way of sale, hire, or use,, it became.. a favor ite investment of those owning large, estates, particularly where there were daughters, to give the landed,, estate to the eons - and tit Negroes to the daughters An army of Perquimans wo men will be knocking on. every door in the county Tuesday evening, January 29 in the 25th " anniversary March of Dimes Mother's March. All of the volunteers in the " March of Dimes Mother's March t know how important the job is, . even though it will take only an hour or so of her time. Ev ery woman realizes that her ef forts will help people to give for ' the life of a child. Every Marching Mother also ;: knows that the research oro- gram financed by the March of I """ra means a great aeai lo r , every family in this county. She knows that the March of Dimes research program pro duced two polio vaccines which are right now protecting her children against this crippling disease. f This same research program has been expanded to include support of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, being built in San Diego. Calif. The Insti tute, to be directed by Dr. Jonas I Salk, developer of the first, ef fective vaccine against polio, will be a center where world I famous scientists will live and work, seeking basic information , which may be .applicable against 'a variety of human ailments, ranging from the common cold to cancer. Mis. John Beers, director for the Perquimans County March of Dimes, said, "Just about every person in this county will be visited by a neighbor-next". Tuesday evening, and we sin jcerely urge you to give gener- ously for the life of a thild." - HI HUlSBIt Mary Lee Glenn of Route 3, Hertford, was among the ap proximately 31 members of the Nurses Club in the School of Nursing at East. Carolina Col 'lege, who attended at Rex Hos . pita! in Raleigh the District VI Student Nurses Association meet ing, held on . Thursday, Janu ary 17. The Student Nurses Associa tion, a professional organization, serves as a channel of communi cateion between state, national and international student nurses. There are five schools in nurs ing for District VI. which in cludes Rex Hospital, Eastern N. C. Sanatorium, Wilson; Park View Hospital, Rocky Mount; Le noir Memorial Hospital, Kinston, and East Carolina College. Miss Glenn represented East Carolina College at this bi monthly meeting of the Nurses Club. She is a graduate of Per quimans County High School and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn of Route 3, Hert ford, ' " because of a ready income and loss trouble. This, of course, gave the possession of Negro property high social position. Negro men usually hired out January 1st for twelve months. , frequently at public auction, A great many slaves would select those to whom '. they wished to be hired by promise of good conduct and faithful service in duce them to hire them. - 1 The hospitality of the- South at this time was unboundod. The, South was exporting with money coming in and compara tively little oing out, : that is. when good crops were made. A man had no immediate use for the money preferred a good note at 6 interest. These -notes were based upon land or Negro value, yet it w.a a man of very bad character or a very poor neighbor who would not go se curity for a neighbor -who had neither.,1 It was a network of "I owe you", in the shape of prom issory notes, which pervaded all classes of our people.
