 Prices of Admission.

The Danbury Fair was the only agricultural fair in the state that paid the government a. cent of tax last year, according to revenue off, the only one that was successful enough to make money. The Dan bury Fair paid the government over S13,00D in taxes on admissions alone, so it will be seen that both the na- tfonal and state governments are keenly interested in the prosperity of this wfde-awake institution.
 The new state tax as well the sions to the Danbury Fair (Oct 3-s), at gates. grandstand, poultry show and dog show, and to the parking space inside the race track. This tax amounts approximately to 15 per cent, of which 10 per cent. goes to the federal government and 5 per There will be no change in the gen eral admission charges to the Fair, these remaining as follows: Adults, Monday, 50 cents; other days, 75 cents. The society assumes the taxes. This reduces the amount the Fair association receives from the gate admissions to AZ cents and 64

Do You Have Backache Over Kidneys |?
 Limbs Swell?
Try to follow NIT. Agans' Advice.

Albany, N. '. - Ever since my early boyhood l have suffered from weak kidneys and as I grew older they became worse. l got I suf- fered constantly with backaches, my limbs would swell. my joints be- came stiff with rheumatism and my bladder became weak. I would have to quit my work entirely several weeks at a time, I was all in and nearly down and out with this ail- ment. Nothing seemed to give me any relief although I tried every thing I could hear of in the medi- cine line. l was finally advised to try Dr. Pierce's Anuric (kidney and backache) Tablets and thru the per sistent use of this medicine I was completely cured of all my kidney ailment and bladder weakness and I have never had any trouble from these ailments since. The 'Anuric Tablets have made a new man of me and I never fail to recommend the when hear complaint from anyone suffering with kidney or bladder trouble. Before I took 'Anuric' I had almost given up hope of ever getting better, but, thanks to Dr. Pierce's Anurto, I am in good health and able to work every day. Morton D. Agans, ASA Wash, Ave,

Evans is the first native Elizabeth City

had the big league stuff in him. And
it was Pratt Fearing who tipped the
Giants off and told them to send scout

MORMONS UNDER
FIRE In NORFOLK
And Elizabeth City Ministers
Are Watching Activities
of Apostles 81 e..

The activities Of Mormon eld-
crs in Elizabeth City and vicin-
;ty may yet arouse the ministers
Of other denominations here, as
it has done in Norfoik,k Va.
where the Tidewater inisterial
Union seems to have imported d
woman lecturer to tell about the
conduct Of the Mormon cult IN
Utah.
The work of the Mormons in this
.-ity brought to the attention of its read
e-S by this newspaper last week
brought an echo from at least one pull
pit in this city DR.. George w. Clarke.
pastor of Blackwell Memorial Baptist
Church. speaking of the work of the
our Mormon elders in this city. said
he wished he had so many as four young
nen in his congregation who would go
out without script or purse as these
tOung Mormons are doing and work
for the advancement of the Kingdom.
Mrs. Lula Loveland Shepard. who
Claims to have spent 20 years in Utah.
and to have learned many Norman sec
rets, is arousing the Virginia ministry
with her talks, and Elizabeth City min
;sters are taking notes from her. This
newspaper has been requested by Rev.
81. X. Williams pastor of First Baptist
Church of this city to reprint the fol-
lowing report of Mrs. Shepard's address
before the Tidewater Ministerial Union
in Norfolk, Monday.
Most of the address was occupied
with description of the Mormon Tenn
pie, Tabernacle and other buildings that
are grouped together in the great
square of Salt Lake City. After de-
scrib;ng the beauty of the surrounding
parks and the imposing buildings as
they appear to the outside spectator,
Mrs. Shepard went on to tell of the Sc
cret marriage ceremonies that take
place from time to time in the secret
recesses of the temple, according to the
paper she had received from her Nor
mon housekeeper. According to this
paper, the marriage ceremony occupies
from five to eight hours; the candi-
dates, of whom there are sometimes
as many as a hundred couples in one
ceremony, being led by sabterranean
gallery into an assembly room, here
the grooms are taken in charge by
elderly men, and the brides by elderly
women, conducted to separate apart
1nents, made to disrobe in the presence
of the assembly of their own sex, taken
into another room annd thoroughly
bathed, then anointed with sacred oil
upon all parts of the body, and after
ward clothed in the sacred underwear
that bears the mysterious symbols which
remind the wearer of dire vengeance
that Will follow the revealing of any of
the secrets of the place. Then, as al
legged in the account, other rainment is
added to the underwear, and ALI mem
bers of both parties (men and women)
are conducted into a room of midnight
darkness, where they hear the voice pro-
claiming, 81 am the Alpha and the

$185, 900 FOR WATERWAYS
OF STATE is AUTHORIZED
Eastern Carolina to Get a Good Share
of Annual Appropriation For
Harbor Improvement

The annual rivers and horbors bill
which has virtually been completed,
will carry about $1S5.OO0 for river and
harbor improvement work in North
Carolina. The state will also share in
half million dollars left over from an
earlier appropriation, and also part of
an appropriation of over 100000 for
dredge work on the Atlantic coast.
Some of the items written into the
bill afer having met the approval of
the committee are: Manteo Bay. $4,-
500; Pamlico and Tar Rivers, $500;
Neuse River, 5000; Swift Greek, ST.
600; Trent River, $1,750; Contentnea
Greek, $500; for waterway connecting
Core Sound and Beaufort Harbor, $2,-
500; East Branch Cape Fear River,
$4,000; Black River, $1,000. All these
items are to provide for the continuance
of old work already under way, and no
new projects are contemplated.
Appropriations of $685., 200 have been
recommended for dredging the Cape
Fear river at and below Wilmington,
but the committee will recommend using
this money for the construction of four
dredges to be used on the Atlantic coast.
The engineer did not submit a recon-
for further appropriations
for the Norfolk to Beaufort water
way as there is an appropriation of
500, 900 for its annual maintenance.
Representative Small believes North
Carolina in fortunate in faring this
well at the hands of the committee, as
the recommendations are about double
those of last year. The committee has
been working hard to get the bill COM
pleted and hopes to get it settled be-
fore March 4.
