GOING EASILY
OVER THE TOP
Elizabeth City Raises Half Of
County's Victory Loan AL
lotment In 3 Days

Elizabeth City showed her
patriotic colors with true Eliza
beth City ''pep" this week.
Chairman w. P. Duff of the City
had already subscribed half of
the county's allotment in three
working days, and not a town
ship outside the city heard from.
Pasquotank's allotment is
1851, 900. More than 100000
was subscribed in Elizabeth City
the first day and there is prob
ability that the county will make
the unprecedented record of go
ing over the top in a week.
Chairman Duff has marshalled
his forces in great style. Duff is
one of the ivest wires in the
state. He has shown it in his
own business and he has put in
to this Victory Loan campaign
all of the enthusiasm, energy,
initiative and ingenuity that has
made him an unique business
success. ..s> ..-r' sra ss.s.
One thing in favor of this
Loan, aside from patriotic con-
siderations, is the attractiveness
of the bonds themselves. They
bear 434 per cent. interest and
if paid for before May-1, 1919
they are tax free. Far sighted
investors with surplus money
are putting their surplus into
bonds. There have been sever
al subscriptions of $4,000 each
in Elizabeth City.
The campaign was launched
in Elizabeth City Monday in a
spectacular patriotic parade
which is said to have been quite
the best ever pulled Off. in this
city. The parade was under the
direction of Frank Kramer
whose military training and ma
tive genius as an organizer
stood him in good stead in as
sembling and directing a big
parade of this sort.
None of the big attractions to
be furnished by the government
to stimulate interest in the Vic
tory Loan could be secured for
this week. Elsewhere on this
page is given the dates Of COM
ing events, all of which probably
will be pulled Off after Elizabeth
City has ''gone over the top.
Instead of using the Army Tank,
the Price of Peace and the
Trophy Train to advertise with,
Elizabeth City expects to use
them in celebrating her achieve
ment of the $351,OO0 assign
ment of bonds for this county.

ALDERMEN CAN FORCE
BUTCHERS INTO MARKET
eiaIs in Elizabeth City Have Been
Lying Down on Their Job

The machine politicians in Elizabeth
City have been telling the Elizabeth
City public that they couldn't force the
machine politicians have let a $4,000
market house in Elizabeth City go to
rot, running the city to a dead expense
for several yeaers, pretending all the
while that they had no power to make
the butchers use the market. They
have permitted dirty, rotten, stinking,
unsanitary meat stands to flourish in
every quarter of the city.
And now the Supreme Court of
North Carolina shows them up. High
Point has an intelligent City Mana
ger, just as Elizabeth City would have
an intelligent City Manager if Eliza
beth City had an intelligent and honest
Board of Aldermen. The City Mana
ger Of High Point makes High Point
butchers use the City Market. One
butcher tried to set up stand to suit
himself. The case went to the Su-
preme Court and was decided last
week.
In the case of Mcintyre ". Murphy
ct al. from Guilford, the court affirmed
the judgment of the court below, sus-
tanning municipal authorities in the
right to refuse license for a meat
market under the police power Of a
city.
w. w. Mcintyre of High Point
sought mandamus to require T. J. MUIR
ply, city manager of High Point, to
issue license for a meat market at
No. 115 Main street, after the license
had been refused by the manager and
city council upon the protest of seventy
six citizens. It was in evidence and
found as a fact that the plaintiff was
man of good character and an expert
enced meat dealer. However, it was
maintained that the establishment of
a market would be a nuisance at this
point.
Writing the opinion of the court,
Chief Justice Walter Clark says: 'The
or refusing license to retail
meat is an exercise Of the police power
Of the city. While there must be no
discrimination in the exer-
else of such power the city is author
lied to say where the market may be
located, having due regard to the ap-
of the locality and
whether or not it would be nuisance
at the point desired"

RAIN HOLDING
. FARMERS BACK
Large Per Cent OF Corn Crop Still
Uuplanted-Tobaeeo Plants
Getting Ready for Hill

For the past two weeks, the rain
which has been falling almost daily,
has been very effective in holding
up the farmers in putting underway
this years crops. -
It is estimated that not over %
per cent of the corn crop has been
planted yet.
MANY farmers Throughout the coun-
nv have not even had an opportunity
To prepare their land for corn plant
ing. owing to the wet condition OF the
ground.
Tobacco plants are getting READY
for setting out now, and the planters
are particularly anxious for dry
season in which to get their ground
readv for tobacco planting before
tbe earlier plants are outgrown.
However, the outlook for 1919
crops is by no means depressing as
their is still time for comparatively
early start for both corn and tobacco.
Among those who have already be-
oun planting tobacco are the Rich
man Bros, who have seven acres out
already; Mr.. Bailey Atkins and Mr..
Fred Harmed who have nine acres to
their credit.
The greatest damage is perhaps
suffered by the strawberries which
seem to have suffered more than
from frost. :, -.
During the 80 days in April, the
rainfall in this vicinity amounted to
4.3 inches.
The first eight days in May the
rain has already amounted to 6.8
inches, or more than all that fell
during the entire month of April.
