MYSTERY STILL ATTACHES
TO SUICIDE OF PAINTER
No Trace of Relatives Found, So He
Was Buried in the "Potter's
Field"

The body of r. NJ. Davis, painter
who came to this city three months
ago, and who died at 1:3O a. m. last
Friday from drinking denatured alco-
hol. was buried here by the county
Wednesday, after all efforts to locate
relatives had failed.
Davies was 81 years old. He gave
his home and residence as Washington,
D, c., bus said he came here from Nor
folk. where he had been living year.
He did not have steady work, but Sc
cured work with Leroy Brothers just
before he died He lived at the board
ing house of Mrs. J. A. Scott on
Shepard st. -
He told Mrs. Scot that his only liF-
ing relative was a niece in Washing
ton. He also said that he held paid
up endowment insurance policy for
$4,000. This was probably untrue as
he didn't have a change of clothing. He
was an habitual drinker, but was not
ldisorderly,
He went to work last Thursday
morning, but returned in the forenoon
and took to his bed. A doctor was
called whom he told that he drank
half pint of alcohol. He also stated
that he knew its probable results His
condition kept getting worse and he
went totally blind before he died.

R0NDED WAREHOUSE is
PROMISED THIS SECTION
Structure of Concrete, or Brick and
Steel Will Be Erected Here
Shortly

After two and a half years of per-
seyering, tho at times, disappointing en-
deayor. the efforts of S. B. Parsons
and the hopes of hundreds of farmers
thruout this section are about to be
realized, in the building of bonded
warehouse, the erection of which is as
sured in the near future.
Mr.. S. B. Parsons of the firm of G..
w Parsons & Son, told representa-
tive of this newspaper this week that
the warehouse was assured. MIR. Far
sons was unable to state definitely
where the building would be located,
but it will be in Elizabeth City and sit
uated conveniently to steamboat and
railroad terminals.
The warehouse is to be operated as
other warehouses of like nature which
provide storage for cotton or other
marketable produce, receipts for Whlch
will be issued negotiable at banks or
as collateral. 1t will provide storage
against low markets so that farmers
will be able to hold their crops as long
as NAV be desired, with full protection
against fire or burglary.
The warehouse will have several
thousand feet of floor space. Mr.. Par
sons was unable to say just how much,
as the capacity has not been definitely
decided. He will endeavor to organize
with all local capital. but any failure
in that direction will not halt the pro
iect as he seems assured of enough
outside capital to carry out the plans.
Mr.. Parsons stated that the ware
house would be constructed of brick OF
concrete and steel.

NEW HOSPITAL HAS
GOOD RUNNING START
Fifty-one Cases, Including 81 Surgical
Operations First Two
Months

Finincially and practically the Pas
quotank Municipal Hospital here
has made a good beginning. Fifty
one cases had come under its treatment
by the 7th of December, and of these
there were only IA medical cases.
Twenty-seven of the remainder were
major operations and ten minor oper-
ation and from these no death had re-
suited. All major operations were per-
formed by local surgeons.
The hospital opened October 4. Dur
ing the month of November expenses
were paid and a little besides. Patients
from practically every county in the
district have been treated at the hos
pital. the cases having been referred
TO the institution by IA white and four
colored practicing physicians. On the al
ternoon of November II. four patients
were admitted within three hours; two
medical and two surgical.
The hospital can accommodate 40 pa
tiants. 1t now has 10 under treatment.
One of the essential features of good
hospitaI is an adequate laboratory
eeuipment. Pasquotank Municipal Hos
nital is fortunate in having such lab
oratory in charge of a competent tech
miriam. which enables a doctor to make
thoro diagnosis of his cases whether
surgical or medical It has a well
lighted operating room with excellent
equipment as well as excellent anaes-
thetizing and sterilizing rooms.
The situation of the hospital is ex-
cellent. 1t looks down and commands
broad view of the Pasquotank river
It is fronted by green and level lawn
and is conveniently located at the emo
of Riverside Drive, just a few minutes
from the heart of the city. The build
ing has 20 private rooms and seven
wards. which will each accommodate
four patients.

TO OPEN BIDS
HERE TOMORROW
To Start Work at Once on New
State Normal School
Buildings

Thirty y-SiX contractors and conStruc-
ton companies are figuring on the plans
and specifications for three buildings
for the Colored State Normal School at
Elizabeth City, bids on which will be
opened at the school here at noon Sat-
urday, Dec. II.
The contracts to be let call for a
handsome administration building to
cost upwards of $4,000; principals s
cottage to cost around $4,000; model
practice school to cost several thous-
and dollars, and water and sewerage
systems running into several thousand
dollars more. The work in all will
amount to probably $125, 900 and is the
beginning of improvements that will
run into a quarter of million dollars
during the next year.
The contractors figuring on this work
are scattered all over North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and
Maryland and at least one New York
City concern will place a bid.
J. A. Salter, of Raleigh, is the archi-
tect, and he is locally represented by
J. p. Kramer, who will personally over
see the WORK TO De zone. LII eLnploS Ing
it's architect the Board of Trustees of
the school stipulated that all work
should be supervised by the architect
or his personal representative. MIR.
Salter forthwith employed Mr.. Kramer
to represent him.
Of the seven million dollars appro-
priated by the General Assembly in
1919 for State Institutions, $4oO,OOO
was set aside for the three State
schools for Negroes. The Elizabeth
City School gets about 100000 of this
appropriation, besides certain funds
from. the General Education Board of
New York City. Other buildings for
the State Normal will be undertaken as
soon as the new administration build
ing, practice school and principal
cottage have been completed. 1t all
means the release of considerable
sum of money here during the next few
months in business for material and
supply dealers. and employment fol-
electricians, plumbers, steam tltters
carpenters, masons and other labor.
