ONE ELIZABETH CITY MAN
IN THE HOBOES CONVENTION

The picture of former resident of
Elizabeth City appears in a group photo
of delegates to the Hoboes Convention
held in Baltimore last week, appearing
in the Baltimore American of Nov. %.
The delegate from Elizabeth City is
Winslow Dudley. This newspaper does
MT know Mr.. Dudley, but he probably is
known to others here. Baltimore pa
pers gave consideration publicity to the
Hoboes onvention. Delegates came from
every part of the country, representing
migratory workers in every branch of
industry.

FUEL ORDER MODIFIED

AS THE INDEPENDENT was
going to press Thursday, word
was received here of a modifica-
ton of the fuel order which
permits stores and offices to open
before 9. a. m. and remain open
later than a p. m. provided they
use no heat, light or power gen
Grated by coal, wood or gas dur
ing the additional hours. This
permits the use of kerosense
lamps and stoves, and any other
heating or lighting facilities not
using the prohibited fuels named
above.

MANY TEACHERS FAIL
TO PASS STATE EXAMS

OF the 27,125 school teachers given
examinations under the supervision of
he State Department of Education
since last April, 1O,776, or 4O.5
per cent, failed to 3 qualify for a
first grade certificate. The number of
teachers applying for examination this
year has been far greater than usual
due, it is believed, to the fact that many
of the older teachers have given up
teaching to enter better paying lines
of work. where in addition the element
of worry is much less and the children
of North Carolina safeta<6w> probably be-
ing taught by more young teachers, with
little or no experience is the work, than
at any time in the past few years.

GREAT BAPTIST DRIVE
HEADED TOWARD SUCCESS
Both Elizabeth City Churches Handsomely Oversub-
scribe Their Quotas--State May Raise Ten Mil
ion Dollars---AIl Reports Not Yet In

ne Dig baptist %o,OUO,UUU
Drive is going ahead with a rush
in this city and throughout the
entire district, reports now avail
able indicating that by the end
of the week considerably more
than the quota will be raised, Ac-
cording to information available
Wednesday afternoon, the two
Baptist churches in Elizabeth
City had overscribed their quotas,
the First Baptist Church, with a
quota of $27 500 having raised $32
1875 and B1ack1ell Memorial,
whose quota is $4,000, having
pledged itself to give, between
$35,OOO and $4,000. It is expect
ed that these amounts will be
much increased by both church
es when the final reports are
turned in.
Incomplete reports from the
rural churches are highly encou-
raging. Last Sunday the men,
bers of Salem church, near
Weeksvi11e, pledged themselves
in the amount of $4,000; Corinth
church subscribed $1,000; O1ivet
church, $500; and Shiloh church,
in Camden county, subscribed ST.
OOO The banner record in this
part of the State is that of the
Edenton Baptist churches, which,
with a quota of $4,000, pledged
themselves to give $4,000, or
just 100 per cent more than they
were asked to give.
Reports from all parts of North
Carolina on the progress Of the
great Drive are daily encourag-
ing, and it is confidently believ-
ed that by the close of the eight
day campaign at midnight next
Sunday the State quota of six
million dollars will be overscribed
by something like four million
dollars. Mnay city and rural
tchurches in various sections
have already given from 10 to
100 per cent more than their
quotas, and these are still going
strong in practically every case.
Wilmington Association is safely
over the mark set, with many
churches not yet heard from. The
Buncombe Association, with
quota of 100000, reports that
amount subscribed by half the
churches. Mecklenburg- -Cabar-
rus, asked to give $250,OOO, al
ready has pledged in the amount
of $4,000, with every church
making its full allotment. Other,
districts are doing as we'll.
Ihere was never any real doubt
from the beginning of the Big
Drive as to what the Baptist con-
gregations of this Sity and section
would do with big, live congre-
cations full Of zeal and pep work
ing as one inspired individual to
accomplish the maximum results
possible, a successful consum-
nation of the drive was a verit-
able Gel talnty.s 'rhe big oversub-
scriptions aTreaby reported from
many churches afford a splendid
indication Of the excellent final
results to be expected by the
close of the campaign.

 Indebtedness.

h order to meet the requirements of the Government, pending the de ferred installments upon the Victory Liberty Loan and deferred install ments of income and profits taxes Secretary of the Treasury Glass has offered through the Fedeya Reserve Banks, two series of U. S. Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness.
 Series "A is payable September 15 1919, and series T-5 on December IS The offering of these securities evi dences the need of the government for further funds to fulfill the financial obligations growing out of the world war, and should be an incentive to all War Savings societies to do their ut. most to increase the sales of War Say ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps during the summer.

the bargain he had made and told him he had given four times as much for the whistle as it was worth. They reminded him of the good things he might have bought with the rest of ne money and laughed at him so much for wasting his money that he broke out in tears. All his pleasure in the new whistle was gone
 Franklin always thought that this lesson was of great use to him throughout his life Whenever he was tempted to spend money for some un necessary thing. he remembered his whistle. and said to himself, Don't give too much for the whistle" If he saw man who spent his time and money in the pursuit of pleasure and neglected his work or business, there al once came to his mind the words, He pays too much for his whistle"
 THE SILVER HOOK One day FrankliE saw strong young fellow whom he knew to be a fine black. smith, sitting on ihe wharf fishing for little mud catS and eels Franklin ssid to him. "Ah. Tom, what pity lis you don't Ash with silver hook" The young man replied. 'I am not able to fish with silver hook"
 Some days after this, as Franklin passed tha. way again. he saw Tom out at the end of the wharf with his long pole bending idly over the wa ter. What, Ton" cried he. "Hayn you not got the silver hook yet?' God bless you" cried the blacksmith, 'I am hardly able to fish with an iron hook" Pooh, Pooh.' replied Franklin. Go homc to your anvil. and you will make silver enough in one day to buy more and better fish than you could catch here in month"
 Emphasize this example of thrift .essaess to your pupils.
