The business for which the
convention had been called hav-
ing been completed, the Chair
man announced that the conven-
ton was ready to listen to any
delegate who cared to address
the convention. Mr.. W. T. Shaw,
of Weldon, made a brief talk in
which he alluded to the great
unrest which permeated the body
polite to-day. The time was not
ripe, in his opinion, for the dis
closure of the remedy. Mr.. E. l..
Travis. referred to as the hero
of many battles, made a brief
talksinF which he referred to the
fact that. taxes collected in Hall
fax county had risen within his
memory from fifty thousand to
| five hundred thousand dollars a
year. Mr.. Travis thought too
much money was being spent on
roads and schools. He also
thought salaries should be re-
duced in some instances, and
that some salaries unnamed
might be proftably eliminated
altogether. Mr.. J. H. Moss re-
ferred to the mass meeting held
in Halifax in January a year ago,
,, at which time a resolution calling
for lower taxes had been passed.
I'VE asked for bread and. we
received a stone" said Mr.. Moss.
Mr.. Paul Kitchin spoke in criti-
cism of the Board of Education
and the Highway Commission,
too much money was being spent
too much money was being vast
ed, there was too much slate
making behind closed doors. Mr..
Kitchin referred humorously to
his having been eliminated from
the road board by the ring. He
also referred to the January,
1921, mass meeting and criticised
the county representation in the
State Legislature for alleged
failure to heed instructions given
by that mass meeting. Senator
". L. Long thought that the wish
for lower taxes was universal,
he wanted them himself and in
troduced a resolution calling for
a lower tax rate. Referring to
his action in regard to mass
meeting instructions, he stated
that he had been actlated solely
by what he thought was for the
best interests of the county. he
wanted the county to lead not
ag, he believed the majority of
Ihe people of the county were in

Miss Sue Kyle Southwick, pi-
anist, Miss Anne Weeks, soprano,
Miss Davis, reader, members of
the faculty of st. Mary's (Epis-
copaD School of Raleigh, will
give a recital in the auditorium
of the High School next Friday
night, April 2Sth, at eight
o'clock.
Miss Southwick won the prize
of a grand piano offered to men,
bers of the piano department of
the Senior Classpi he New Eng
land Conservatory. ofTMusic in
Boston, May 3rd, 1913. The
Galveston News says of her

and brilliant technique standing
out prominently in the after.

Post Technique is clear and
crisp and she plays. with music.
ianly feeling and fine taste. /" The
News and Observer has this tc
say of her Though young in
years, she plays with the assur.
ance and poise of mature ar
tist."
The Corriere Della Sera OF
Milan, Italy, in speaking of Miss
Weeks "The prima donna Sig
norma Anne Weeks who sang the
name roles Norma and Aifia)
has a beautiful voice of good
range and perfect intonation,
which she uses with intelligence
and. ease. The large audience
were enthusiastic in their appre-
citation and we predict a splendid
career for the young artist"
After singing in Carnegie Hall
New York City the New York
Tribune commented on her voice
as being clear, vibrant and per-
fectly intoned soprano. The
Los Angeles Examiner carried
the following item after
her appearance in her home city,
Miss Anne Weeks of this city
has returned after years of study
and singing abroad and was re.
ceived with great enthusiasm
last night by a large audience o1
her old friends and admirers
Los Angeles may justly be prouC
of the young artist who has ac'
complished much since she was
last heard here. Her voice is
beautiful, true soprano which
she handles with much ease."
AT the outbreak of the wal
abroad in 1914, Miss Weeks was
, preparing for winter of opera
tic engagements in Italy, after
six years Of studying and singing
in Germany and Italy. FRS
news of the conflict reached hel
in the Swiss Alps, where she wa!

W. S. HOCKADAY TAX LISTER

The Board of Town Commits
sioners at a meeting held on last
Thursday morning appointed Mr..
W. S. Hockaday town tax lister
for the year 1922.

the State Senate and confronted
with a similar issue he would
pursue the same course he had
in the past. He deprecated the
the criticism of a Democratic
organization by a Democratic
Convention, and called attention
to the fact that leaving aside the
fifteen cents spent by the Board
of County Com missioners in up
keep of courts, Jail and poor
house, the balance of the $1.35
tax rate was spent by the High
way Commission, of which Mr..
Kitchin was a member, and the
Board of Education of which Mr..
Daniel was Chairman. Mr.. W.
E. Daniel resented the passing
of the buck" to him. He did
not think the Board of Education
wasted money. The County
Superintendent of Education was
Il in his opinion one of the best in
North Carolina, and could get a
job elsewhere at higher salary
any time. He thought the High
way Commission wasted money
and mentioned the fact that
thirty thousand dollars was spent
BY the Commission in organiza-
tion and administrative expenses
before a shovel full of dirt was
turned on the roads. Mr.. j. T.
Chase stated he could not sit
silent under attacks upon the
Highway Commission, especially
when made by a member of that
Commission. He stated that he
would not sit again upon the
Highway Commission, with Mr..
Paul Kitchin, that Mr.. Kitchin
had actually attended meetings
of the Commission only forty
five minutes during the months
of January, February and March
that Mr.. Kitchin had advocated
the expenditure of sixty thous-
and dollars for the purpose of
buying a railroad with which to
build roads in the county, which
road was not bought by the
Commission, that Mr.. Kitchin
had urged the Commission to
spend the funds it had on hand
in the construction of roads and
loffered when the money was
gone to go out and get other
| funds, which Mr.. Kitchin had
not done. Mr.. Kitchin replied
in humorous vein, expressing
surprise at Mr.. Chase's attitude
and feeling, concluding by call.
ing for a new set of officers and
stating that he would go into
every precinct in the county in
support Of a new regime.
After discussion the conven.
ton adopted the Long resolution
twice amended and adjourned
after passing this resolution. The
resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that the Democratic
Convention of Halifax County ir
body duly assembled do now &C
on record as favoring most rigiC
economy in administrative ex
penses especially for educationa
purposes and maintenance Of
roads and recommend to the Of
ficers of the county that, in so fal
