County Representation

Roanoke Rapids has eleven
votes in the Halifax County Con-
vention against the fourteen
votes of Weldon Township. If the
votes were apportioned, according
to population instead Of having
less than Weldon, Roanoke Rap
ids would be entitled to fully
fifty per cent more. Unfortun-
ately these votes are not prorated
to population but are proportion
ed in accordance with the num-
Der of votes cast in the guberna-
torial election. We would hest
tate to say that the people of
Weldon were more energetic
than the people here, but that
they are as a whole more patriot
&c cltlzenS is an undenlaDle TACT.
The question of getting out the
voters in Roanoke Rapids at the
November elections is a serious
one and it merits the energetic
attention of the Democratic Pre-
cinct Committee which will be
elected tomorrow afternoon.
The proper amount of hustling
and work would bring out voters
in numbers sufficient to double
our representation at Halifax
with attendant increase in pres
tige and power in the govern
ment of the county.

A Good Example

There is a family living three
miles from Rosemary and in
that family are two girls about
II and IA years old respectively
who walk to Rosemary on Sun
day mornings to attend the
Christian Sunday School.
1t seems to US that if these
two girls can get up on Sunday
morning, walk three miles to
Sunday School and walk three
miles back, that those of us
who live nearer could venture
out when we are in an apples
throw of the place of meeting.
How many would be in all the
Sunday Schools of the whole
community if we had grit" like
that?

ROANOKE RAPIDS

1t is hard for us to realize the
extent to which industrial devel-
opement has been carried on in
North Carolina during recent
years. When we remember that
it was in 1895 that the woods
mans axe began to clear away
the forest for the development
OF the water power at Roanoke
Rapids, the anniversary edition
Of the Rodohe Rupids HeruH.
which has just been issued, set
ting forth the splendid progress
made since that time, strikes US
with establishment. 1t tells a
wonderful story. and illustrates
it with views of great manufac-
turing establishments, substantial
brick mercantile buildings, beau
tiful streets and elegant church
es, schools and residences. 1t is
hard to realize that all this sub
stantial growth has come about
in so shorta time. 1t is a splen-
did community, clean, heaIthful
and progressive.
There has been developed
from water-power $1,000 horse
power, and this is but a small
part of the possible development.
1t is certain that with this
wonderful natural advantage
Roanoke Rapids is destined to be
one of the greatest manu-
featuring and commercial centers
in the whole country. The

Prof. Moore's Criticism Unfounded

We. don't know how much
good the State Inspector Of Col
ored Schools accomplishes in the
course of his peregrinations, but
if all of his criticisms have as
little merit as those he levied
against the colored public schools
of Halifax county in an article
published in the columns of the
HERALD last week, we think
the money used in carting him
around could more wisely be
spent in teaching the inspector
arithmetic and logic,
Prof. Moore is surprised to
see such shabby school buildings
in Halifax and Littleton for our
people, and as grounds for this
surprise cites the fact that the
Townships in question have negro
property holders who pay on
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1916-04-14

about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of real estate in
each township. AS the rate of
taxation in Halifax county for
public school purposes does not
exceed 25c per hundred dollars
of property listed, simple arith-
metic shows that on the basis of
these figuresthe colored schools
in the townships named should
have spent on them the magnifi-
cent sum of $4,000 per annum.
Prof. Moore cites the listed color
ed property of the county as
being ST., SOP, 3040 90, which
should entitle the colored
schools of the county to about
So, 10000 per annum. AS many
times the amount to which the
taxes received from colored pro-
perty holders would entitle them
is paid out on the colored schools
of the county, the conclusions Of
Prof. Moore are greatly errone-
Gus. Instead Of, as he would
claim, the white citizens of the
county receiving more than their
Just share Of the school taxes,
his own figures show conclusive
" that the contrary is true and
that the white property owners
of the county pay heavily to-
wards the support Of the colored
schools. From Supt. Akers we
get the following figures: EX-
penditures on colored schools
in Halifax township, $l28000,
in Littleton township, $4,000,
a gift to the negro schools of
each of these townships Of more
than eight hundred dollars in
excess Of the amounts to which
the taxes paid BY the Negro
propertyholders therein would
justly entitle them Total SeX-
penditures on the coIored schools
in the entire county are Sill 62O.
According to Prof. Moore, an
injustice is done his race because
the property they list for taxa
ton in the county results in about
So, 10000 Of taxes for schools
purposes.
We are heartily in favor Of the
education Of the coored popula-
ton Of the county We think
that the white population of the
county should be taxed to pay a
great part Of the costof educating
the coIored children, but it does
rifle us" to have the white peo-
pie OF the county accused of
stealing from the very class who
are continually receiving
evidences Of their charity.
