Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tatlets-the substi-
tute for calomel - are a mid but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver i3
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edward5' determination not to trcat
liver and bowel complaints with calomcl.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have TO bad after

strong liquids CT cclomcl. They take hold
of the trouble ard quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strcng liquids. ltis best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take Dr.. Edwards
Give Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they 'clear" clouded

COMMITTEE ABOUT TO
ADOPT CHURCH PLANS
Elizabeth City 9Methodists May Build
Church Patterned After Norfolk
Edifice

The Building Committee of First M.
E. Church South of this city, after a
visit to Norfolk, Suffolk and vicinity,
where they inspected a number of
churches, have about decided on the
type of structure they will adopt for
the new Elizabeth City church and ex-
pect to have their architect on the
ground at an early date. The type of
building that appeals most strongly
to the committee is that of Park View
Baptist Church in Norfolk. Something
like the exterior design, including the
massive dome of that edifice, will be
adopted, with interior notifications
to suit the peculiar requirements OF
the Elizabeth City church.
The building committee of the First
Church is composed of G. E. Kramer
chairman; Rev. J. M. Ormond, J. p
Kramer, w. J. Woodley, and J. w
Foreman. The committee is anxious to
have ground for the new church brok-
en- this summer. The proposed edifice
will cost $4,000 to $4,000. More thar

POTATO GRADES GOING

According to the law passed by the

The grades adopted by the United

Department of Agriculture nave Deeh
made the legal grades for North caro-
lima. These grades will be eHectlVe
June 1st, 1919. After this date the
North Carolina growers if they grade
their potatoes will be obliged to grace
them according to standard. 1t Is Tor
the grower to decide whether or not
he will grade his potatoes. II ne does
grade them he will be expected to marx
them either Grade 1 or Grade ac-
cording as the potatoes grade one or
two. A copy of these grades may be
obtained upon application to the Dlv1-
sion of Markets, West Raleigh, N. q
Regulations as to marking and brand
ino will be issued at a later date.
It is hoped that all growers Will CO.
operate to secure the proper ENFORCE
ment of the law. Thus each grower
will do his part to establish the repu-
tation of North Carolina for a nunoer
one product. Machine graded POTATOES
brought last year one to two dollars

If all growers grade their potatoes 1t
would mean saving to them OF ABOUT

inspectors may have them licensed up

SOUTH, MILLS TOWNSHIP
WILL GET STATE AID
Anxious For Pasquotank Highway
Commission to Begin Their Link
in Interstate Road

South Mills Township, Camden coun-
ty will get State and federal aid on its
highway project connecting with Pas
ouotank and Norfolk County, Va. The
State, Highway Commission has assur-
ed South Mills that it can get the state
and federal funds, according to Daniel
Ed. Williams of South Mills who was
in Elizabeth City this week.
In order to get permanent h1gn-
way from Elizabeth City to Ports
mouth, Va. via South Mills and the
Dismal Swamp Canal. the people OF
South Mills township agreed to build
that link of such a highway thru their
township. The last General Assembly
authorized the township to bond Tor
$50 900 to build this road. Pasquo-
tank will meet them at the Camoen
county line near Hinton Corner. south
Mills will carry the road on to the
Virginia line, along the banks Of the
Dismal Swamp Canal. Norfolk coun-
ty. Va. will do the rest.
'"The only thing that's worrying US
now. SAYS Mr.. Williams, 'Is fear
that you Pasquotank folk are going to
be slow about building your END OF
the road We hear a lot of talk ABOUT
building to weeksvi1le first. We want
YOU to build to Hinton Corner first.

HIGHWAY BONDS
Will Lose No Time Building
Highway From Edenton to
Norfolk, via E. City

$25O,OOO of the bonds of the
North Carolina
District Highway were sold last
Saturday to the Powell-Gerrard
Co., of Chicago at $1O5.52, or
$5.52 above par. The bonds
bear 6 per cent. interest. AS
soon as these bonds can be
printed and the money secured,
the District Commission will
proceed to the business of build
ing the proposed permanent
highway between Edenton and
the Virginia line, via Elizabeth
City, Shawboro and Moyock.
The District Commission pur-
posed to issue a half million in
bonds, to enable them to care
for the assessments of property
holders who will bear one-fourth
of the cost of the road. But the
bill creating the commission
failed to provide adequate taxa
|tion to pay the interest on and
retire bonds to that amount.
The commission will issue and
sell more bonds as soon as the
revaluation of property in the
district has been made. The de-
Elay in selling the bonds will not
necessarily mean delay in the
construction of the road.

ELIZABETH CITY MUST
BUILD PUBLIC DOCKS
Can Not Get Deeper Channel Until III
Shows Government Its Good
Intentions

Elizabeth City will have to bestir it
self and build municipal docks if it is
to profit by recent legislation looking
to the deepening of the channel of the
Pasuuotank River from Elizabeth City
to the A1bemarle Sound.
Congressman Small got a bill thru
the last Congress calling for survey
for a IL foot channel from a point near
the Dare Lumber Co. mills above Eliz-
abeth City to the A1bemarle Sound.
This survey is preliminary to getting
an appropriation for this river i'm
provement. The object is. Of course, to
give Elizabeth City the benefit of the
IL foot depth of the government in
land waterway. But the River and
Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 abso-
1utely shuts Elizabeth City off from
any such benefit as proposed by Mr..
Smalrs new survey, unless Elizabeth
City builds municipal docks and there
by convinces the government that 1t
deserves the contemplated improve
ment. Section 1 of the River and Har-
bor Act should be carefully studied
by Elizabeth City business interests,
1t reads as follows:
cit is hereby declared to be the policy
of the Congress that Water terminals
are essential at all cities and towns
located upon harbors or navigable
waterways and that at least one public
terminal should exist, constructed, own
ed, and regulated by the municipality,
or other public agency Of the State
and open to the use of all on equal
terms, and with the view Of carrying
out this policy to the fullest possible
extent the Secretary Of War is hereby
vested with the discretion to withhold,
unless the public interest would seri-
ously suffer by delay. monies approp-
rated in this Act for new projects
adopted herein, or for the further i'm
provement of existing projects If, in his
opinion, no water terminals exist ade-
quate for the rtaff1c and open to all
on equal terms, or unless satisfactory
assurances are received that local or
other interests will provide such ade-
quate for the traffic and open to al
Fretary Of War, through the Chief OF
ENGINEERS shall give full publicity, as
far as may be practicable, to this pro-
vision"
