DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi-

Of DR.. Edwards determination rot to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calonel.

little o~live-colored tablets
These pleasant little tablets Go the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
OF the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calonel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

MAKES a SURVEY FOR
NEWLAND DRAINAGE

Newland township is in line for an
extensive drainage project in connection
with which it is planned to cut drain
age canal directly across the township,
thus draining many acres of valuable
farming land in that community. +. y.
Bartel, Drainage Engineer of the n. Z.
Department of Agriculture, who made
a survey of the proposition this week,
states that the plan is entirely feasible.
He says that 60 per cent of the land to
be drained is cleared, and would there
fore be Immediately available for farm
ing. He gives an approximate estimate
of the cost of the undertaking at 81
to SIS per acre. The section which 1t
is planned to drain is in the heart OF
Newland township, and it will be re
gion of great fertility and productivity
when the surface water has been drain
ed away.

while to set forth a platform in
this announcement of my candi-
dacy. Thru the columns of this
newspaper I have already made
my position clear on most sub
jects of political interest. [ have
always treated the public frankly,
believing in speaking out just
what l thought about things. AS
the Representative Of Pasquo-
tank county in the General As
sembly of North Carolina I pur-
sued that policy and kept my
constituents freely informed of
events at the State Capital and
hundreds have told me that I was
the first representative they ever
had at the Capital who let them
know that he was there and what
he was doing. If nominated and
elected to. your Congress l will
pursue the same method and
keep my constituents informed OF
events at the nations capital.
That is one thing [ can and will
do that my opponents can't do
and would not do. If nominated
and elected l shall strive to cour-
teously and obligingly perform
those thousand and one details OF
personal service required of a
member of Congress. [ know that
Congressman's time is largely
filled up with running errands
for folks back home who know
no other way to get things done

COST OF CITY LIGHTS
REDUCED BY ONE HALF
Elizabeth City Light and Power Co. Re-
.duees Rates When Pressed by New
City Manager
ten days

Elizabeth City will be lighted for the
next three years by the local Electric
Light and Power Co. on a contract by
the terms of which light will be sup
piled to the city at less than half the
present rates. Under the old contract
which expired over two years ago, but
upon the basis of which the Light Com
pany has continued to furnish light and
power up to the present, a charge of
$16.66 2-3 per 80 candlepower lamp per
year was made, while by the terms of
the new contract 60 candlepower will be
supplied for $1,000.
Bids were also entered by the Wells
bach Street Lighting company of Phila-
delphia, a gaslight concern allied with,
the local Gas company. They demanded
the exclusive right to light the city for
a five-year period, with not less than
300 lamps, the latter to be delivered to
the city and erected at the city's ex-
pense. Their price was $35 per 60 can
dlepower lamp, more than double the
new rate of the Light company, and their
bids were rejected.
The remarkable difference in the cost
| of lights under the new contract, COM
pared with the cost of lights under con-
tracts with the old Mack Sawyer admin
| istration, indicates something rotten this
| side of Denmark. -

and what they ought to be. He
also. knows crowds a NJ what
crowds like.

with his plans yet to tell us what
features to expect of this years
fair, but even at this early date
he has closed for several attrac-
tions. Sibleys Shows will furnish
the midway attractions and pro-
mise to bring Several new shows
with them. Among the free open
air. attractions will be something
brand new to this section, day
light fireworks.

eiatien 0entsin a hole last year
on account Of the Influenza pan

Of making them over cautious in
the matter of expenses this year.
They have provided for two big
