Women Always Leaders in Civic Affairs, Should Be Elected to Office, Says Editor, March 25, 1921

In Civic affairs, the women are always leaders, and the male population a good follower. It is true in Ahoskie, as in other towns and cities where women have been given no voice in municipal affairs, that civic improvements have suffered for lack of authority. Which leads us to the inevitable conclusion that a woman on the town board of commissioners might not be a bad idea, for the “used-to-be” anti-suffrage municipality.
