Elizabeth City Merchants Now
Have Organization

The retail merchants of Elizabeth
City have organized an association
which expects to operate as a bureau
of the Eliza beth City Chamber of Com
merce. A preliminary organization
was formed Monday night and the meet
ing is said to have been the most en-
thusiastic, cordial and hopeful getting
together of merchants ever seen in this
city.
And one of the first things the mer-
chants did was to agree to close their
stores every Friday afternoon during
the months of July and August,s closing
at P NJ. Butchers, grocers and drug
gists are exempt from this closing
agreement.
The merchants also agreed to hence
forth observe a helf holiday on the
Fourth of July, except when the Fourth
falls on a Saturday. Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays will be observed as
usual.
The organization adopted set OF
bylaws for mutual helpfulness.

DIR. HENING TO DECLINE
THIS FLATTERING CALL
Southern Baptists Want Him to Man
age Their Campaign For Fund
Of rs Million Dollars

DR.. B. c. Hening. pastor First Bap
tist Church of Elizabeth City, will
turn down the cali of the Southern
Baptist Convention to manage the
$4,000, 900 campaign which the South
ern Baptists will stage in the early
future.
The Baptists have decided to raise
s75,00O,000 for home and foreign mis-
sions during the next five years and
only a big, capable man is equal to
the task of conducting such a drive.
Baptist leaders in looking over the
field for the right man picked the
Elizabeth City pastor as the logical
man. DR.. Hening has long been recog-
nized as one of the livest wires in the
Baptist denomination.
But DR.. Hening will not accept the
compliment and the obligation it car
ries with it, He feels that it means
five years of work to which he is not
physically equal and he isn't the kind
to begin a thing and then not finish
it. He has told the denominational
leaders that he will stump the South
for them in behalf of their campaign.
if some one else will manage the de-
tails. DR.. Hening believes he can dc
this necessary field work without hav-
ing to relinquish the pastorate Of his
church in this city.

PASTOR CLARK SUBJECT
TO A $500 COURT FINE
Violated State Law in Wedding :
Couple in This City on License
Obtained Elsewhere

Due to unfamiliarity with the Nort!.
Carolina law which requires that the
wedding ceremony must be performed
in the same county in which the Ii
cense to marry is issued, DR.. G. W.
Clarke, pastor of Blackwell Memoria!
church of this city has laid himself
open to the fine of $500 which the
law provides as the penalty for failure
to comply with it's provisions, stat
ed above.
A short time ago William T. Hall Of
Great Bridge, Va. and Miss Grace l.
Abbott, of South Norfolk obtained
license to wed from Register of Deeds
Edwards, of Perquimans County, and
were later united in marriage by Rev
Clarke at Elizabeth City, without Sc
curing a second license in this county
There is no question as to the legal
ity of the marriage according to loca-
legal lights; it is simply a matter OF
complying with the red tape of a state
law, which the couple can do either by
getting a new license and being re-
married in Virginia, or by returning to
Elizabeth City and taking DIR. Clarke
over the Perquimans county line and
going thru the ceremony again there

BAD WATER DISGUISED
In MANY SOFT DRINKS
Elizabeth City Soda Dispensaries
Generally Not Using Good
Water

Patrons of Elizabeth City soda foun-
tains and thirst parlors are register
ing complaints because of the irnpurity
of the water served at most Of these
places. Persons who wouldn't touch a
drop of city water if they knew it
find that they are drinking the insight
ly and disagreeabie stuff disguised in
their soft drinks.
Most of the fountains serve the same
water plain with ice cream orders.
Patrons of these drink places know
that pure water is easily obtainable
and are beginning to demand pure
water of soda dispensaries. The wis
dom of the protest lies in the fact that
a glass of Coca Cola made with water
from knohbs Creek, the source of the
city water supply, may contain colon
bacilli sufficient to give serious intes-
tinal trouble to the consumer.
Elizabeth City soda fountains are
generally cleaner than similar places
in other cities. But there is room for
improvement in their water service.

ALDERMEN LET DOWN
BARS FOR SIBLEY SHOWS
Big Aggregation of Carnival Attrae-
tions Will Show Here All
Next Week

Elizabeth City breaks thoroly good
any comes to town. Sibleys Superb
Shows play here all next week, spite
of the fact that it is against the law
for carnivals to come to town. The
Board of Aldermen in special session
has set aside the law this once in favor
of the Sibley Shows.
Next week is to be big week in
Elizabeth City and Elizabeth City is
in playful amusement seeking mood
And just about the time some one
was wishing we had more amusements
than those scheduled for the Fourth OF
July, in dropped a representative OF
Sibley's. Sibleys man made the fire
company a good proposition. The fire.
men need the money for their summer
outing. Elizabeth City is inclined tC
go in for any sort of lively amusement
next week. Sibley's Shows are said tc
be superior to the average aggregation
Of carnival attractions. And so the
bars have been let down for a week
and Sibley's Shows will play Elizabeth
City all next week.
Sibley's Shows are playing Newport
News this week. They usually play big
stands like Norfolk and Richmond
They have more shows and bigger
shows than carried by the average
combination.

THE COMMITTEE OF 48
SENDS QUESTIONAIRES
Expects to Bring About A Discussion
of Live Issues Opposed to Reaction
and Revolution

Question blanks asking for views on
political, economic and social issues
have been sent to the signers of the
Call of the Committee of Forty Eight:
of Is EAST 4OTH STREET, NEW
YORK CITY, for "Conference of
Americans This Conference, which
will be held in the early Fall in a mid
western city, will discuss a tentative
program formulat ting the opinions of
the signers as set forth in the question
aires.
Members of the Committee from
every one Of the forty-eight states are
asked to express their views on the
formation of a new political party, on
the programs of the American Labor
Party and the Non-Partisan League:
on income and inheritance taxes,
responsible cabinet, free speech, pro-
portional representation, governIpent
ownership and a number of other ques-
tions constantly before the public.
''This is new and,we believe, a dem
ocratic way of organizing a Conference"
said Mr. Allen McCurdy of the Commit
tee yesterday. when these question
aires come back, the Committee of For
Twilight will have the definite opin-
ions of the leaders Of the communities
in every state in the Union. Instead
of the old method of a few men getting
together in a corner and drawing up
platform that voices the orthodox views
Of party politicians, we\wil go to the
Conference with a tentative program
that comes directly from the delegates
who have had the chance to express
themselves in this very definite man
ner Whatever else of public good the
Conference accomplishes, it will at
least have served to break the national
silence that is giving autocracy an op-
| portunity it is not slow to grasp Once
we can begin the discussion of real is
sues in real American fashion, neither
reaction nor revolution can make furth-
er headwaY."

this fall, dates to be announced later.
The communities that have organized
are Forks, Riverside. Dry Ridge ana
Sound Neck. Dry Ridge and Sound
Neck will combine in one community
fair.
The dates on which these community
fairs have not been fixed, due to the
chaotic condition existing in the Office

Fair Association gets busy and an
nounces it's dates, the Community
Fairs will efix their dates without re-
gard to the District Fair.
