A ThOu,dnd Unopsnd
Schools In Alabama


Over 1000 Alabama schools, 500 white
schools and as many for colored children
have remained unopened the present
schocl year because no teachers were

becomes obvious when one learns that
the average salary of male teachers in
the white rural schools is $40, AID that

rural schools the figures are SITS for
men and $3.50 for women. Alabama is

KANSAS POINTS THE WAY

The Kansas legislature has enacted
law to establish court of industrial
relations. This court will have juris-
diclion over disputes between employer
and employed in industries which have
to do with the manufacturing and prep
aration of food and clothing, the pro-
duction of coal aud the carrying on of
transportation, in other words over the
necessary industries.
This law doas not provide for COM
pulsory arbitration; but if it works as
il is expected to work, the result will
be compulsory arbitration inst the
same. la brief. the duties Of this court
of industrial relations begin when a
controversy arises between employers
and workers engaged in any of these
necessary industries, if this controver-
sy might endanger satisfactory service
by these industries. In such case the
court upon it's own initiative may sum
mon all the necessary parties before it

of sensational robberies in Currituck
county, was released this week under a

at the September term of the Supe-

>bondsmen are James E. Prince and Ri

with his three pals had been in Jail here
since January, owing to the fact that
there was no spring term of Superior
Court in Currituck this year. His COM
panions have not been able to obtain
bonds and probably will have to spend
the summer in jail here waiting for the
fall term of court in Currituck.

OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR EARLY PEAS
Crop Here Is Per Cent. Greater
Than Last Years
Prices High

With early green peas bringing $3.50
to $3.50 a basket on the New York mar
ket this week and with pea crop 25
per cent. greater than last years crop,
truckers in this section have expecta-
tions of cleaning up handsome profits
on this truck within the next few weeks,
if transportation does not fail them.
The first shipment of early peas will
move from Elizabeth City -day-about
made thru r. c.. Abbott who handles the
bulk of the pea shipments from this city.
Elijah White, Negro farmer on r. F.
d. 2 will have so baskets in to-day S
first shipment.
TRANSPORTATION is the chief concern
of the growers right now. Due to the
discontinuance of the Old Dominion
Steamship service between Norfolk and
New York, and due also the inability to
get special express cars, the express
companies have served notice on local
shippers that they do not want to handle
the pea crop. The express companies
will only receive shipments subject to "A
hours delay in Norfolk. The transpOr-
tation problem can be solved with re
frigerator cars and it is believed re-
frigerator cars will be provided by the
Norfolk Southern Rail Road. Refrig-

Liberty Bonds Depreciation
Holds up Municipal Sew
erage Project

The recent disconcerting depreciation
of the value of q. S. Liberty Bonds has
demoralized the bond market and killed
every demand for municipal bonds, one
result of which will be that Elizabeth
City may have to wait many months
before attempting to issue bonds for
the purpose of acquiring its water and
sewerage properties.
With $4,000 Government Bonds sell
ing at $3.50, no one wants to buy mum
icipal bonds at par, and Elizabeth City
certainly will not want to issue bonds
to be sold below par in competition with
the beggarly bonds of the federal gov
ernment.
The Board of Aldermen have in hand
tentative plans and estimates for com
plete sewerage and water system, de-
signed to remedy the defects of the pre-

sition; but with plans in hand the Alder
men can't get anywhere because they

government. There is spirit, not yet
of revolt, but of deep discomfort within
the ranks of the dominant party. There
is a feeling that the Democratic party
has been less careful to put forward its
best men than to put forward men who
were personally pleasing to party lead
ers. There is a notion that the party is
regarded by certain people, not as an
instrument for good government OF the
state, but as the personal property OF
a few favored individuals.
consequently, there has been dis
position in North Carolina to examine
into, not what candidate stands for,
but who he stands for; and men whose
interest is in statecraft, not in iocky-
ing for office, have utterly lost interest.
at is this type of man that Brooks
will interest,ssand interest powerfully.
Such men will be interested because he
cannot be identified with any recognized
CLIQUE or faction within the Democratic
party; and yet he is as regular as F. M.
Simmons himself. He has battled con-
stantIy for more democratic control of
party affairs, but always within the par
ty. He has been one of the biggest of
the big guns whenever the party was on
the firing line, and yet he has never
been one of the little group generally
accused of controlling its affairs to their
own benefit"

COUNTY HOME Is
FULLO' BEDBUGS
Deplorably Insanitary Conditions
Shown by Investigation
Last Week

Disgraceful conditions at the Pasquo
tank county poor house are revealed in
report submitted to the Board of
County Commissioners at their May
meeting Monday afternoon by County
Superintendent of Public Welfare p. s..
Vann. A careful reading of the report
shows that the fault of existing deplor-
able conditions lies principally in the
fact that whatever sums have been spent
on the upkeep of the poor house have
been niggardly and entirely inadequate.
Supt. Vann found, when he visited the
County Home last week, that in many
of the rooms the beds have no springs
that in nearly every room there is un-
mistakable evidence o bedbugs and
other vermin, that the toilet facilities
are groosly inadequate, but one build
ing being provided for all the inmates,
white and colored, with only a partition
separating the men and the women; and
totally lacking.
The water supply of the County Home
is at some distance from the buildings,
and while Supt. Vann declares that it
seems to be adequate in point of guam
tity, the well is so constructed that sur
face water runs freely into it. Fur
thermore, all water for domestic pur-
poses must be carried by hand in buck
cts considerable distance to the main
buildings, and in case of fire, the chan
ces are that the whole plant would be
burned to the ground because of the
lack of equipment to fight the flames.
Tho iaiI which is OccuDipd by an insane
man. is reported as being in a highly in
sanitary condition. and the stencil, is de-
scribed as awful
The main building of the County
Home according to Supt. Vann. is great
Iy in need of repairs. He reports that
the roof is rotten, and leaks in many
places, in addition to being specially liza
BILE to take fire from a stray spark.
Mr.. Vann recommends that an efficient
system of waterworks be installed, with
shower baths for the inmates and suf-
ficient pressure for fighting fire; that
new fences be built where needed around
the institution; and that an intensive
campaign against the swarms of bedbugs
and other vermin be begun at once, and
carried on until the latter are eradicat-
ed. The Board of County Commission
ers have taken action upon Supt. Vann'
report and recommendations to the ex-
tent of appointing committee to make
arrangements : for correcting present
tigation of the institution was made
| at the request of J. B. Balance. now il
charge of the place.
