Aside from the adoption Of the ma
tion-wide prohibition resolution and
the introduction of few more bills,
very little has been done SO far this
week. Upon the recommendation of
the judiciary committee the three blue
sky law bills that were introduced
Monday and Tuesday morning were
ordered printed. They will be among
the first bills to be considered
1t is known that the justices of the
Supreme Court, as well as the bench
and bar of the entire state are deeply
concerned over the customary tinker
ing with the constitution and extreme
facility with which initiated and re-
ferred measures of legislation are
written into the statute books Hal
sey Rhoades, member of the House
from Denver, has introduced bill for
the submission of a constitutional
amendment which is calculated to do
away with the whims of every person,
or set of persons, to write wild-eyed
reforms into the constitution and laws
of Colorado. This measure has the
sanction of the highest court of the
state, as it was drawn up by an at
tache of that court in language very
definite.

Since Colorado entered the war
Colorado people have put approxi-
mately $140,000,000 into Liberty
bonds, war savings stamps and the
various war service organizations. At
the close of 1916 deposits in all banks
in the state was 1928, 154 ,528.14. At
the close of 1918 deposits in all banks
in the state were approximately $751;
100000. In other words, Colorado
people in the past two years have in
vested in war securities and sub
scribed to war service organizations
S140, 100000, yet at the close of 1918
they have in their banks nearly $780,

GARRY HAPPY

PRESIDENT OF REDS HAS THous-
ANDS OF FRIENDS IN GIN
CINNATi-FAMoUS AS PEACE
MAKER.

Cincinnati, Oct. Sixteen years
ago, on September IL. 1903. the name
of August Hermann was heralded
throughout the width and breadth of
the land where baseball flourishes as
the Chief Justice of the national
pastime. AT that time he was Incl
dentany known as the new owner Of
the Cincinnati Reds. This condition
of public mind had not changed until
late in July of this year when the
Reds assumed a lead in the National
league race.
Today Garry" as he is known, not
only to his intimates, but to the base
ball public in general, is chiefly recog-
nized as president of the Reds, cham
pions of the National league. and only
incidentally as chairman of the ma
tional baseball commission.
In this city Hermann numbers his
friends by the tens of thousands. and
there was a large majority of these
who do not hesitate in saying that
when baseball gained a leader in
August Hermann, politics lost one.
He was associated with the late Geo.
B. Cox member of the executive
council of the Republican party in
Hamilton county, and while in late
years he has taken no active interest
in guiding the destinies of the G. o. P,
| he still is able to WELD an influential
arm in party conferences.
It was while Hermann was one of
Cox's iieutenants that the question OF
1 purchasing the Cincinnati baseball
| club from the late John T. Brush, was
| preached to him. While he had always
| been interested in baseball purely
\ from a fans viewpoint he never had
\ been interested in the club financially

STRIKE TIES UP
SWEET POTATOES
Negro Longshoremen Refuse to
Move Freight Here Till Civ
en- Usual Bonus

The movement of sweet potatoes from
Elizabeth City has been seriously handi-
capped this week by strike of the Ne
gro Longshoremen's Union. The Negro
freight handlers threw down their trucks
and walked out Tuesday morning, leav-
ing about 1900 barrels of potatoes on
the docks. In meantime freighters from
Currituck continued to pile potatoes on
the docks and by Wednesday morning
there were 1000 barrels of sweet pota-
toes tied up, say nothing of other freight.
Shippers, agents and business men gem
orally, seeing no other relief in sight,
pulled off their coats rolled up their
sleeves and pushed trucks, keeping a
good lot of the potatoes moving, spite
of the strike. The strike had not been
settled as this newspaper went to press,
tho conference committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce, officials of the Nor
folk Southern r. r. and representatives
of the strikers have been parleying con-
stantly since Tuesday.
The 1ongshoremen are striking for an
additional pay of 10 cents an hour US
ually allowed them during the potato
movement. In recognition of the extra
work imposed upon them during the rush
of the Irish and Sweet potato move
ments the rail roads formerly allowed
the longshoremen additional pay of 1C
cents an hour while these movements
were under way. They got this extra
10 cents during the Irish potato move
ment in June and July. The rail road
company granted this without consult
ing the q. S. r. r. Administration. When
the r. r. Administration heard about il
there was a kick and the Norfolk Sou
thern was given to understand that
henceforth orders for such additional pay
must be approved by Washington.
And so when the sweet potato move
ment started last week the Norfolk Sou
thern refused to give the longshoremen
the usual increase. Unable to get any
satisfaction either from the rail road OF
from the r. r. Administration, the long
shoremen dropped their trucks and walk
ed out.

was the people of Gates county. What
sort of people are they to permit such
fragrant neglect, mistreatment and
abuse of their wards? One does not
have to travel far thru Gates to find
that the people of that county are
above the average in almost any
perspective. Gates is exclusively ag-
ricultural. The principal crops are
corn, cotton and peanuts. Most of
the farmers turn their corn and pea
nuts into cattle and hogs and they
produced last year 1879 head Of
cattle and 1850 hogs. The total
real and personal property listed in
the county last year was $2,95O,393.
This, of course but represents a
fraction of the true wealth of the
county The people of Gates, like the
people of every other county in North
Carolina under the old tax system,
have lied freely about their property.

Corp. Sedgwick Tells
of Horrible Accident
But Suppose This Had Happened to
American Prisoners i'm Germany
Instead OF no Germans In
France?

Corp. Harry Sedgwick, of this city,
still with the American Expedition
ary Forces in France, gives horri-
BILE account of an accident recently
witnessed by him, in a letter written
to his father, H. E. Sedgwick, of this
city, and dated July 9.
Corp. Sedgwick says that one of
the American companies sent out 40
German prisoners under four guards
to blow up lot of ammunition.
There was an explosion and out OF
the A men two or three were killed
Instantly. About 80 of the Germans
we're sent to the Hospital and were
burned so badly that II died shortly
afterwards and the remaining IL
have little chance of recovery.
Corp. Sedgwick is with a Guard
Company looking after $4,000 tons
of ammunition stored al. st. Loubes,
France, the largest ammunition
depot in the world. He tells his
father that he isn't staying in France
because he likes it, but because, like
thousands of other boys, he can't help
himself. He is in good health and
says he hopes to be released shortly
if that 15O,00O,0o0 pounds of am
munition he is helping to guard
doesn't go off under his feet.

And Now Worms Are
Eating The Soy Beans
Green Clover Worms Playing Havoc
With Great Crop-What To
Do To Them

The stock pea crop of Pasquotank
county and Eastern North, Carolina
is threatened with destruction by a
small green worm, about an inch
long, that is working havoc with
every sort of bean in this section.
This insect is officially known as the
Green Glover Worm, and is now cpl
demic in Eastern North Carolina and
other states. Thousands of acres in
this State are already much damaged
by the new pest, which drills many
small holes in the upper leaves of
the plants, and, unless it is promptly
checked, it's ravages will result in the
virtual destruction of the soy bean
crop.
Observation and experiments row
under way show that the worm can
be controlled by poisons sprayed OF
busted on the affected plants. Spray
with powdered arsenate of lead (o1
Cal-arsenate), 2 lbs. to so gallons OF
water, or if paste arsenate is used
lbs. to SO gallons Of water. An
other good way to apply the arsenate
of lead is to mix it in parts of lb
arsenate to lbs. dust lime or land
plaster, or even pure arsenate alone
the stronger it is, the less should be
applied. In no case, however, should
less than lbs. of the poison be ap'
piled per acre.
If the arsenate of lead cannot be
had, Paris Green may be used spar
ingly, and with some risk of burning
the leaves. The main point is to ge
the poison on quickly, perhaps ever
sowing broadcast by hand in ::
breeze. If the Paris Green is used
spray at the rate of 2 lbs. Pari
Green to 100 gals. water, or dus
with 1 lib. Paris Green to 40 lbs. dus
lime or land plaster.
The worms are working chiefly a
the tops, hence be sure to put tn
poison there, and enough will get ol
lower leaves to kill many worms
The use of poisons cannot injure tn
beans which are produced. In cas-
poisons cannot be. used, cut the Gro
for hay at once, or pasture it to hog
and cattle.

NO STOCK LAW
INIPASQUOTANK
Country Majority Holds Free
Range i'm County Election
Tuesday

The farmers of Pasquotank
county don't want Stock Law and
the people Of Elizabeth City don't
care whether they have Stock
Law or Free Range, all of which
is evident from the results of
Stock Law election held in this
county Tuesday, August 5. Hard
ly half the town turned out to
vote. The farmers did turn out
and vote and while the town roll
ed up a majority for Stock Law,
the country rolled UP an over
whelming majority against it.
This settles the Stock Law question in
this county for the next two years at
eleast. 1t is probable however that the
question will be revived with more vigar
in another two years. Another Stock
Law election in Pasquotank probably will
result differently.
There is no mistaking the fact how
ever that the country majority is in fav-
or of Free Range. The country people
are used to Free Range and they don't
want to give it up. There are tens
of thousands of acres of woodland in
this county that provide free forage for
scrub cattle and hogs. 1t is hard for a
people who have been used to this Free
Range for centuries, to give it up.
Stock Law first became an issue in
this county in the last political cam
paign. Every effort was made to COM
nit Pasquotank's candidate for the Cen
eral Assembly. Representative Saun-
ders took the sensible course and pro-
vided an election, to let the people de-
eide the question for themselves.
Stock Law lost by a majority of Is
votes only. Here are the official re
