M'ADOO REGARDED
AS 1920 CANDIDATE
Washington Dispatch Says He
Will Run for President

WASHINGTON, Feb. Information
coming to Washington during the
last few days indicates that the can
didacy of William G. McAdoo for
the democratic nomination for pres
ldent is an actual fact.
According to the same information,
Mr.. McAdoo's candidacy is predicated
upon the assumption that President
Wilson has definitely decided not to
be a candidate for denomination, and
will devote the rest of his life to lead
ership of the league of nations and to
literary pursuits.
The possibility of Mr. McAdoos
success not only in winning the NOM
lnation but in winning the election is
connected with the probability that
the league of nations will be an &C
complished fact, that it's headquarters
will be established in Europe, prob
ably in ConstantinOple, and that
President Wilson, now the idol of the
liberal elements of Europe, will be
the spokesman for q more liberal
form of international democra cy.
Whether President Wilson is Il cam
didato or not, it is anticipated by
emOCratiC leaders that his influence
New Britain herald., 1919-02-07

will continue to dominate party coun-
ellis so long as he lives.
The successful organization of the
league of nations is expected to be
the basis of this continued leader
ship. 1T is assured it will answer the
deep longing in the minds of people
the world over for reign of peace.
and even democratic leaders, who
doubt the real effectiveness of the
league, say it will be impossible to
determine whether it is a success or
not, just as it was impossible to in
terpret the real meaning of the Holy
Alllance until many year had elapsed
Having stood sponsor for the es-
adjustment of the league of nations
at the Paris conference the president
is expected to follow it up for the
rest of his career, and if any leader
ship is evolved out Of it it will nat
urally go to the president for the
same reason that the jealous powers
of Europe hope to see the United
States accept the mandate under the
proposed league for the direction and
control of the Dardanelles and of
COnstantinope.
The statement made by Mr.. NC
Adoo before leaving the office OF d1-
rector general of railroads that he
was through with politics was accept
ed then in a Pickwickian sense, and
this feeling has become stronger.

RIG STOCK OF PIANOS
FOR A SPECIAL SALE
Duff Piano Co. Assemblies Largest Ex-
hibt of Pianos Ever Seen in
This Section

Positively the largest stock of pianos
eever displayed in this section has been
gotten together by the Duff Piano Co.
of this city for a special sale which that
firm will conduct on Monday, March II.
1t is stated that the stock is larger than
all the stocks ever assembled by all the
dealers in this territory at any one time.
And if price is a consideration, the
prices announced for this sale are way
below the usual offerings. The sale
even includes phonograph records and
needles, all priced at less than whole
sale prices. Piano manufacturers and
dealers, for patriotic reasons, did not
push the sale of their goods during the
war. Now that the war is over they
seem inclined to want to make up for
lost time The Duff Piano Co. sale
should prove a stimulant to the business
in this section and put pianos in scores
of homes that are now without them
The sale starts Monday and will end
when the last piano is sold, be it on that
day or some day next weekday.

SHAD MAY BE SHORT
BUT PRICES AREN'T
ting Good Returns For
TheirsEfpduct

North Carolina shad have sold for 2s
cents to 40 cents a pound on the east
ern markets this week, the lower price
being for bucks, the fancy price for
roes. The fishermen are not making
big catches peculiar to former years
but the fancy prices obtainable may
offset this effect. There is no let uE
in the demand for North Carolina shad
and many Fulton ST. New York, and
Dock st. Philadelphia, market mer-
chants have their solicitors in the field
Most of the shad caught in these waters
are sold Or consigned to dealers whose
ads are found in this newspaper.
A special train, secured largely thru
the efforts of the Atlantic Coast Fish
cries Co. and Wallace & Keeney Co., OF
New York, takes fish from Elizabeth
City thrice a week, making connection
with Washington, Baltimore and New
York steamers at Norfolk. Shad taken
from these waters early yesterday
morning, for instance, are on the New
York market this afternoon and on sale
at o'clock tomorrow morning.

TWO BIGAMISTS FACE
JURY HERE NEXT WEEK

Henry Lefferts Eischter, young SOL
dier who was married here in Novem-
ber, was committed to the county jail
this week in default of $1,000 bond, on
a charge of bigamy. This gives the
Superior Court two bigamy cases to
try when it convenes here next Monday
March II. Romaine Brace, a comely
young naval officer. has been in jail
here for several months, awaiting trial
on a similar charge. Both of these
young men, having been taken away
from civil life and home environments
to serve the colors, found it rather con-
venient to take on new wives. North
Carolina's lax marriage laws and the
proximity of Elizabeth City to the Nor
folk naval base gave them the oppor-
tunity to get into trouble.

POTATO CROP IS
COMING UP SHORT
High Seed, High Fertilizer
Shortage of Labor and
Uncertain Future

N. Howard Smith, manager of the
Carolina Potato Exchange, who is one
of the best informed men on the po-
tato situation in eastern North Caro-
lima, predicts that the early Irish po-
tato crop in northeastern North Caro-
lima this summer will be equivalent to
Smith is in close touch with the grow
ers, especially in the counties of Pas
quotank, Camden and Currituck and
his predictions usually are safe.
Early in the season it was predicted
that the potato crop in this section
would be fully Is per cent. of last
year. Seed potatoes at $6 a bag, ferti-
izer at $40 a ton, farm labor at $3.50 a
day and no labor in sight at that, had
a deterrent effect upon the potato grow
er. Then too the drop in the price of
peanuts and cotton and pork may have
foreshadowed a drop in the price of
other farm produce. The growers have
moved cautiously, heSitating to put in
any considerable acreage. Some of the
larger growers refused to plant at al; ;
others have increased their acreage
upon the strength of the assured de-
crease III the acreage OF tnG1r neigh
borS
1t is hard to forecast the prospects
for a sweet potato crop. Last year the
sweet potato growers couldn't get slips
for planting and there was a shortage
of labor such as this country has never
seen. But this yeear the growers in
Camden and Currituck have an abund-
ance of slips and have enough bedded
to make a crop twice large as last
years. The sweet potato crop is now
waiting on the labor question. If the
growers can force an adequate labor
supply, even at prevailing wages,
northeastern North Carolina will mark
ct a bumper crop of sweets this sum-
mer
But the North Carolina growers are
in a ticklish situation. They have put
in and will put in their 1919 crops on
war time basis. Every item entering
into the cost Of production has been
purchased at top prices. To make any
must get high prices. Any successful
bear movement would play havoc with
the growers. All of this means that
the growers in this section need or
ganization a never before. Without or
ganization they can not protect them
selves in normal times; these abnorm-
al times certainly demand advanced or
ganization directed by the best brains
in the country.

C. p. HARRIS ACQUIRES AN
INTEREST IN MccABE G. GRIcE

An announcement of interest in local
mercantile circles this week concerns
the purchase of a ninth interest by
c. P. Harris, in the firm of McCabe &
Grice. McCabe & Grice is one of the
oldest and most successful wholesale
and retail dry goods houses in Elizabeth
City and eastern North Carolina. Mr..
Harris has been connected with the
business since 1908, having charge of
the books end Office work. He has been
a faithful and efficient employe and his
acquisition of financial interest in
the business is what often happens
when a thrifty and conservative en-
ploye shows his capacity to carry a
good part of the burdens of his en-
ployers.

Pasquotank, while bearing the greater
part of the burden of taxation, is real
ly not burdened at all. Because under
this Federal aid project it helps its
neighbors, gets six miles Of road from
Little River to Elizabeth City and
gets free bridge across Pasquotank
river.
IF Pasquotank did not come in on this
scheme it would have to build a road
from Little River to Elizabeth City
anyway; and If it built the kind of
road contemplated under this district
plan, it would cost the county $780,
600, and it would still pay tolls over
privately owned bridge across Pas

The proposed northeastern North Caro-
lima district has the approval of the
State Highway Commission. In fact
the idea came from the State High
way Commission and Senator Fere-
bees bill was drawn along lines sue-
suested by tha body.
The first counties to get state and fed
eraI aid under the new state road law
which passed the General Assembly
this week, will be the counties en-
braced in this district, these being the
first counties to launch project with
the approval of the State Highway
Commission.
The road it is proposed to build will
be of government standard cement
construction and the road will be 70
feet wide. If it is decided to build
a narrower road the cost will be ma
teriaIIy reduced. Should the commits
sion decide to build IS foot road
the project will cost much less than
100000.
With all of these facts in evidence, can
any one offer intelligent opposition
to the project? Pasquotank has

Pasquotank Comm i S sio n
Thinks There Should Be
No Delays

1t is the intention of the Pas
quotank Highway Commission
to lose no time in getting under
way with the project of issuing
bonds and spending $5OO,0O0 in
the construction Of roads in
Pasquotank county.
The commission held it's first meeting
Monday afternoon and elected w. j.
Woodley chairman. The other members
of the commission are o. F. Gilbert,
! J. J. Morris, A. B. Houtz and J. w. Fore
man.
Before attempting to do anything,
the commission will get a conference
with engineers of the State Highway
| Commission and get all road building
information and suggestions available
from that source. In meantime the
commission will make careful study of
different types of road paving material
and will consider the employment af
capable engineer to superintend the
/ building of permanent roads.
| 1t is altogether too early to talk
about where the roads will be built
but it is pretty certain that the COM
mission will first take UP the PROPOSE
ton of building a road from Weeks
vile to Hinton's Corner via Elizabeth
City, giving the county a main high
way connecting the upper and lower
parts of the county. The commission
will not concern itself with the Desert
road, which is the road \ connecting
Elizabeth City with Perquimans Coun-
ty, because that road will be taken care
of in the district highway project.
This leaves more money for road build
ing in other parts of Pasquotank.
