was with my wife.
In one corner Of a cafe.
With an expensive name.
Down on Broadway.
And I-looked over.
And saw a man.
In another corner.
And knew his face.
But couldn't think.
OF his name.
But when my wife.
Spoke to me sharply.
About the noise I was making.
Crunching my celery.
1t just occurred to me.
That the man over there.
Used to be my chief.
And went to him once.
And asked him for a raise.
And you would have thought
was breaking up his home.
The way he went on.
But finally he decided.
That he would raise me s..
Making It ST per week.
Well, at any rate.
Here was in a swell cafe.
With a new suit Of clothes.
And my wife all dressed up.
Well, you know how it is.
I decided I'd go over.
And show off a little.
So waited awhile.
For the orchestra to stop.
And I Strengthened up.
Fixed my neck-tie.
And cleared my throat
And walked across the room.
Like John Drew.
After spurning the gold.
And about halfway across.
I fell over a lap-dog.
That ran from under a table.
And when got up.
Everybody was snickering.
But I kept right on.
And stood by the table.
And announced who I was.
And he got up and shook hands.
And while we talked.
rested my hand.
On the table.
And it kept getting hotter.
Until I looked down.
And saw my fingers.
We're dangling.
In the lady's soup.

The Elizabeth City Chamber of Com
merce has initiated a movement that
will surely interest the people of Pas
quotank and adjoining counties. The
organization has purchased a standard
stereopticon equipped with both cleo
trio and acytelene lights.
A number of sets of stereopticon slid
es have already been secured. Most of
t1e pictures are beautifully co1ored. Each
lecture deals with some subject vitality
related to the daily life, prosperity and
happiness of the people who live on
farms or in the rural communities.
Lecture centers have been established
throughout Pasquotank County.
The Chamber is trying to get in
touch with the various communities in
adjoining counties. All are invited to
address the Elizabeth City Chamber of
Commerce, and ask for any or all Of the
lectures. The communities who apply
first, will be served first. Don't fail
to write the Elizabeth City Chamber
of Commerce if you are interested in
having the course of stereopticon lee
lures given in your community.

NORTH CAROLlNA'S WAR
LOSSES FOR THE YEAR '18

North Carolina had in round numbers
10000 soldiers in this war. OF whom
10000 were eolored.
The bulk of these soldiers were scat
tered among other organizations, so
that we cannot ascertain as yet the
total number of killed and wounded
from this State, but we know that there
were three regiments almost entirely
from this State, all of which were in
the Thirtieth Division. and that the
Thirtieth Division sustained losses
nearly as high as any division in ser
vice.
Of the regiments composing it, the
119th, Colonel Metts, lost 453 killed,
wounded and missing.
The 120th Infantry, Colonel Minor
Gin which was the Raleigh Company b
lost AIS.
18th Artillery, Col. Albert Cox, lost
in killed and wounded six.
A large number Of North Carolina
troops were in the Eighty first Divf-
sion, which lost $40 killed and wounded
The Thirtieth Division lost in all
1,772. Besides the three North Caro-
lima regiments above named therein
there was Tennessee and South Caro-
lin regiment in the Thirtieth Division

BOARD OF ALDERMEN
COMEDY AGAIN APPEARS
Officer Says He and Mayor Drink
Together

The Board of Aldermen held their
monthly one-ring performance last
Monday Night and the comedy was up
to the usual Barnum & Bailey standard.
Alderman Anderson expressed himself
as being with no confidence in the
City Manager while Alderman Owens
wanted to. fire Patrolman Rqughton
light away.
Mayor Phil. Sawyer. seemed to be
after Officer Roughton's scalp also and
is hot after this officers dismissal from
the police force. Roughton claims that
this is because he had two warrants
sworn out for the parties connected
with the "Y'' affair and intimates that
our Mayor is connected with it in such
way as would be embarrassing should
all the facts in that case be brought out.
The Mayor should explain his where
abouts on the night of January 90.
Mayor Sawyer claims that Roughton
should be dismissed from the force be-
cause he owes so much in the city as
would reflect upon the administration.
Eoughton was given ten days in which
to settle these accounts or else be dis
CnaTS0O the IOISS. LII oIiiSi WINS
he was given ten days notice to look
for another job.
It seems that befare this investiga-
ton of our police came to the public
eye, officer Roughton told Officer
McHarney that he wasn't going to pay
any of those debts. The former did
not deny this allegation. Officer Rough
ton then threw bomb in the ring by
saying that Officer McHorney told him
that he and the Mayor were regular
friends and often drank together so he
was in no danger of losing his job. The
actual facts might come out in a subse-
auent issue of this paper.
officer Cherry was also put under fire
because of his alleged humane treat
ment of a woman during one of those
cold January nights. 1t seems that
Cherry saw this woman and hearing
from her that she had no place to sleep
that night, he kindly consented to let
her sleep upstairs in the City Hail. Of
ficer Cherry is one of the night police
men-he gets his rest in the daytime.
No official action was taken on his case
/ at the regular session but Immediately
thereafter a secret meeting was held
where our aldermen could straighten
out their own personal matters in a
municipal way.

RECONSTRUCTION WILL
BRING OPPORTUNITIES

Hon. o. B. Eaton thrilled a good sized
audience at the Alkrama last Sunday
afternoon, in the splendid address he
gave on Elizabeth City and the Recon-
struction Period" For fifteen years as
mayor of Winston Salem, Mr.. Eaton
became intimately acquainted with the
tl;cse days, and his varied experience
as a Federal agent during the war has
brought him into contact with the lar
ger needs of the state as a whole.
In part, Mr.. Eaton spoke as follows:
'The War demonstrated the greatness
of our people. 1t proved the patriotism
not only of the boys who went to the
front, but of the people who remained
at home. The men Of Elizabeth City re-
sponded grandly to all of the nations
calls. They nob1y backed every cam
palgn for funds to prosecute the war.
But, a big work yet remains to be done
and it is going to take a higher kind of
patriotism to do it. The boys are coming
home from the trenches, some crippled
for life, all looking for opportunities for
self support and they must be given
every chance. The starving millions
in Europe, who fought our fight, must
be fed. Contracts 'entered into by the
government must be met"
''The great lesson we learned" said
he, was that of forgetting our differ
ences, and working and sacrificing to-
agether for a common cause. And if
we will not only forget, now that peace
has come, and will carry that same
unity of spirit and purpose over into
our community life, the great war, ter
rible as was the cost of it, will not have
been fought in vain. We have drench-
ed continents in blood, caused rivers to
rim crimson to the sea, sacrificed money
and life unparalleled in the history of
mankind, to preserve democracy, to
establish brotherhood, to wipe out the
distinctions and differences that have
divided men, set nation against nation,
class against class. And to win the
titanic conflict, we startled the world
by such an exhibition of unity, sacri-
flee and service as it has never before
witnessed. Unless this same coopera-
ton is carried into our daily life as
the war, as far as Elizabeth City is
concerned, was failure, and the sac
rifices of the boys in the trenches a
useless sacrifice.
