s5OO,OOO SOUNDS BIG
BUT DOESN'T GO FAR

Representative Saunders shocked
some of the Pasquotank county COM
missioners Monday when, in reply to
a. direct question, he told them that
Pasquotank probably would get only
80 or 35 miles of permanent roads out
of it's proposed expenditure of s5OO,OOO
Many persons who have given road
building little thought think 100000
should go a long way. AS matter of
fact it is only a starter; Pasquotank
really needs $2,OOO,OOo.OO for any ex-
tensive program of permanent road
building. Good roads cost money and
they are worth every cent they cost.

HOSIERY MILLS HAVING
THEIR TROUBLES NOW
Local Mills Have Plenty of High Price
Yarn on Hand, but Hose Market
Has Gone to Pot

Uneasy lies the head of the manu-
facturer of hosiery in Elizabeth City
these days. There are five hosiery mills
in Elizabeth City, employing about 400
workers and manufacturing several
thousand pairs of hose daily. These
mills had an unlimited market for their
product while the war was on and at
prices that persuaded them to buy
yarns recklessly when cotton was
soaring around 35 cents a pound last
fall. And then the war stopped, the
price of cotton went down, the market
became unsettled and the demand for
hosiery disappeared. The hosiery mills
haven't yet figured out exactly where
they stand; they are working away as
tho nothing had happened and continu-
ing to work up their high price yarns
into hosiery fer which they are find
ing no ready sale. The largest mills in
the city, due to have declared a hand
some dividend in January, has disap-
pointed it's stockholders for the first
time in several years.

SAUNDERS ROAD
BILL NOW ALAW
And a Road Commission That
Will Give The People
Faithful Service

| The Saunders Act providing for q
bond issue of half a million dollars fol
hard surfaced roads for Pasquotanh
County is now a law, having passed
both branches Of the General Assembly
and ratified Friday, Feb. %. :.
The Pasquotank Highway Commits
sion which will have authority to issue
these bonds and construct the proposed
roads is now composed of w. J. Woodley
J. J. Morris, J. Wesley Foreman, A. B
Houtz and 0. F. Gilbert. 1t was Rep
resentative Saunders idea to name
Walter L. Cohoon on the commission
and he did so; but when the bill got
over to the Senate Senator Ferebee
amended it and named Mr.. Gilbert in
place of Mr.. Cohoon. Mr.. Saunders ac-
was very positive he didn't want
Cohoon. There were others who didn't
want Cohoon on the Commission. The
Opposition came largely from the Mack
Sawyer source.
There is an effort being made to stir
up criticism of Representative Saunders
for his appointments. To all of these
criticisms Saunders has but one answer:
He says; Criticism was to have been
expected; it is impossible to name any
ian or set of men in Pasquotank county
who will meet with the approval of
everybody in Pasquotank county. In
naming the Highway Commission to
carry on the road improvements in this
county had but one idea in mind; that
idea was to get the work done promptly;
efficiently and economically, with as
little friction as possible. Isnamed men
d. Business ability and integrity
and men who have no pet ideas OF how
our roads should be built or where they
should be run. I have named men who
will not represent any particular section
of Pasquotank county, but who will deal
impartially with the roads problems OF
every section of the county. 1 have no
doubt that hundreds of men in Pasquo-
tank think they could have named a
better group of men for the Highway
Commission; but 1 know they wouldn't
have done it. Our people are never sat
isfied with Board of Commissioners
that they elect themselves. L am con-
vinced they would have made mess of
electing a Highway Commission with
every politician in the county working
or political ends. Knowing that l would
be held responsible for the successful
expenditure of our bond issue, have
assumed the responsibility of creating
commission of nonpartisan men which,
am assured, has the confidence and
commendation of the best informed cit
izens of Elizabeth City and Pasquotank
County,

ELECTROCUTED in MID-AIR
William Mason Meets Untimeiy Death

While at work on electric wires fifty
feet above the ground, William Mason,
a lineman. in the employ of the Eliza

IDENTIFY electrocuted Tuesday morning.
Mason had been inspecting the wires
on a pole in front of the r. E. Quinn
Company when he was suddenly seen
to drop his wrench and his body fell
forward over the deadly wire which
carried the high voltage into his body.
The power plant was Immediately not1-
fed to shut off the current but it took
some time before Mason's ifeless body
could be gotten down from the top OF
the pole where it was viewed by hum
dreds rushing to the scene of the acc1-
dent Physicians were hurriedly sum-
moned and the city pulmotor was used
in vain by them in an effort to save
the victims life.
Mason was a young man OF about
thrity-five years old and was quiet,
easy going sort. He had been in the
employ of the Light Company only
short while. A widow and three small
children survive him.
