TYRRELL COUNTY BANK
BUYS FIXTURES HERE
Acquires Fixtures of Savings Bank g.
Trust Co. For New Bank Build
ing in Columbia

The Tyrrell County Bank, of Colum-
bia, has purchased the fixtures used in
the former banking home of the Saw
ings Bank & Trust Co. of this city and
will install the fixtures in their new
bank building in Columbia at once. The
Tyrrell County Bank has built for it
self an attractive and comfortable build
iag on the main business street of Co
lumbia. The building has a ground floor
space of about 25 feet by 60 feet and
is equipped with vault and safe that
would do credit to larger town.
Spite of the low price of potatoes
and the general depression Columbia
folk generally, as well as their banks,
are forging ahead and doing things. The
latest addition to the town is a moving
picture theatre which opened last Sat-
urday in its own building. 1t is called
The Columbia and is operated by the
Columbia Amusement Co. of which J. F.
Schlez is president and S. S.. Woodley
secretary treasurer. Mr.. Woodley is
cashier of the Tyrre1l County Bank.
Columbia is one of the biggest early
Irish potato shipping points in Eastern
North Carolina with a record of, more
than $4,000 barrels this season. Many
growers at that point lost money this
season for the first time in the history
of their experience with this crop.

HORSE RACING
FRIDAY, AUG. 5
Will Settle Argument Whether
Lee w. or Tempest Is the
Better Horse

What promises to be one of the most
interesting horse races ever staged on
the local track will be raced at the Al
bemarle Fair Grounds, Friday after
noon, August 5. Lee W., owned by
Lonnie Sherlock, of this county, and
Tempest, owned by Isaac Gregory, of
Currituck. will be matched for the best
three out of five three-quarter n'ile
heats. Both of these horses are young,
swift and about as evenly matched as
any pair could be. There respective
speeds has been a subject of hot conten
ton among local horsemen for months
and the argument was by no means
considered settled by the results of the
Fourth of July races.
Other ecents on the track next Friday
will be an automobile race for cars in
the $4,000 class and motorcycle race.
Full particulars will 'be found in an
elsewhere in this news
paper.

HOSPITAL SURE
SAYS ". P. DUFF
More Than Half of Money Need
ed Has Been Subscribed
Rest Easy

!"There is no doubt about the
early ultimate success of our
campaign to secure $4,000 to
lease and reopen the Elizabeth
City Hospital" is the statement
made last night by w. P. Duff,
president of the Elizabeth City
Chaplber of Commerce. With
out any excitement or special
publicity more than half Of the
1,5OO $40 shares of stock in the
hospital have been sold and it is
believed that the remaining half
will be taken care of with less
effort than was required to put
over the first half. Many who
looked askance at the e1movement
when it first started are mani
Testing a genuine interest now
that the success of the venture
is assured
A committee from the local medical
association will go before the Board of
County Commissioners and the Board
of Aldermen Monday and ask both of
those bodies to donate 81 900 a year for
two years toward the expense of oper-
ating the hospital. The committee is
composed of DR.. G. B. Williams, DR..
z. Fearing and DIR. T. S. Mcmillan. DIR.
McNullan will be the spokesman for
the committee.
Elizabeth City physic'lns will sub
scribe $500 of the total amount of
asked to subscribe more because it is
not to be said that the new hospital is
a doctors enterprise.
Within the past few days physicians
in the rural districts around Elizabeth
City have shown a lively interest in
the hospital and considerable stock will
be sold in the counties of Pasquotank,
Camden, Currituck. Perquimans and
Dare. The country doctors keenly
realize the need Of a hospital at Eliza
beth City and will be glad to support
"a public hospital properly managed.
A remarkable phase of the campaign
is tne interest manifested Dy tne COL
ored people who were asked to sub
scribe a quota of $1,000. The colored
people organized and appointed a COM
mittee composed of DR.. E. L. Hotter
chairman; Prof. G. F. Graves, Mrs. F.
w. NJ. Butler, Mrs, Sarah Holly and
Mrs. w. B. Spel1man. This committee
reported last night that it had covered
only half the ground and had secured
81, 10000. This amount will be largely
increased when the canvassing has been
completed.

BIG BOMBING PLANE
WRECKED AT EDENTON
Landed on Farm and the Farm Was
Wrecked Too, Say All Reports

A big bombing plane from Langley
Field, Va, lost it's bearings in this vi
cinity last Saturday and in trying to
make a landing in an open field near
Edenton turned turtle and did consider
abel damage. The officers and crew of
the big flyer escaped with minor injur-
les, but the machine was badly wrecked
and it's remains will have to be- shipped
back to Langley Field by truck.
The only landing place at Edenton
that appealed to the lost ayiators was
the 1OO-acre farm of Powell Bros. just
out of Edenton. The soil was rotten
from recent heavy rains and when the
big plane struck the soft earth it
plowed a path across the cultivated
field and its axle broke under the strain,
turning It upside down. What the air
plane lacked of wrecking that farm,
three thousand spectators finished when
they focked TO the farm and trampled
all over the place viewing the wreck.
Powell Bros. will sell their crop to the
government.

their pantry than they have had before
in many long years.
This wonderful act of conservation so
economically administered under Com
missioner Nelson and his assistants will
not cost the state a penny. 1t costs
the state only ten cents q bushel to
plant these oyster shells, including the
cost of the shells. Experiments have
shown that a bushel of shells returns
five bushels of oysters. The state col
1ects a tax of two centsson every BUSH
ell of oysters taken in the state. Thus
the state gets back ten cents in taxes
Oh five bushels of oysters for every
bushel of shells planted A legislature
with Il larger vision may some day give
the Fisheries Commission Board an ap-
preparation sufficient to restore thous-
ands of acres of oyster beds, as every
dollar so appropriated will find its way
back into the state treasury in a few
years, after having put millions of dol
lars into the pockets of North Caro-
linians interested in the oyster industry.
For the information of it's readers
this newspaper appends herewith a
statement supplied by Commissioner
Nelson showing the beds or rocks plant
ed this year and the total number of
shells planted. While it may not be of
much interest to the general reader,
this detail statement should be of value
to hundreds of oystermen.
Memorandum Of oysters and shells distributed
as propagatfng materials on the following beds

soY-BEAN HAY EQUALS ALFALFA

The chief value of soy-bean hay lies
in it's high content of digestible protein
In feeding value it is superior to red
clover or cowpeas and, as indicated by
comparative feeding tests, is equal to
alfalfa for milk and butter production
Soy-bean hay makes an excellent winter
ration for young cattle, sheep and hors-
es when fed in mixture with other hay
or roughage and has been used to good
advantage for hogs. The feeding of soy
bean hay alone is not advisable, be-
cause it's relatively. high protein con-
tent may cause digestive disturbances.

HERE is an Elizabeth City boy who is
making a name for himself in the meF-
camille world and if he keeps up his
present lick he will be numbered among
the merchant princes of America or this
newspaper misses its guess. He is the
manager of the Murphy & Co. and 10
cent store at New Kensington, Pa, and
he has Increased the business of that
store rs per cent. in a year. He has
been with Murphy & Co. just two years
and half. They started him in one of
their smaller stores at Homewood, Pa.
and he jumped the sales of that store
so per cent. They moved him to a big
ger field and he justified the company's
expectations. In a bulletin addressed
to their chain of stores the other day,
Murphy & Co. lays Paul Samples rec
ord before their other store managers
and opines that none of them will make
a better record, mot because he has
got any better store than you have"
says the bulletin, "but because he puts
all his energy into the management of
his store" Paul Sample is only %
years old. He is a SON of Mrs. Mae
Sample of this city. He graduated at
the Elizabeth City High School when
he was rs years old. That was in 1914.
From this High School he went to Trim
ity College, where he worked his way
thru, not having the funds to pay his
way. He was made President of the
Class of 1918 Trinity Alumni and grad
Hated with high honors in 1918. And
then came the war and he enlisted in
the army. He made a good record and
had been promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant at the close of hostilities. Short
Iy after his discharge from the army he
became employed by the Murphy chain
of and 10 cent stores and those who
have watched him will not be surprised
to see him at the head of that big or
ganization before he is thirty years old.

HOW TO KEEP A
GOOD THING GOING

: Elizabeth City gets regular all
water freight service 70 Norfolk,
s Baltimore, Philadelphia and points
: beyond beginning with the arrival
here this week of the steel oil
burning freighter Tompkins of the
governments IntracoastaI Water
ways Division. The Tompkins will
be followed by the Ulster, which is
expected to arrive here Saturday
morning. Every -four or five days
these big seIf-pr0peIIed steel
freightefs, plying between New
Bern and Washington and BaIti-
= more and Philadelphia, will stop at
Elizabeth City to receive and dis
charge freight.
The fact that the government is
about to close deal for the sale
of its fleet of barges to the BaIti-
more, Philadelphia & Southern
Transportation Co. will not disturb
the arrangement made this week by
Franklin c. Morris, General Man.
ager of the IntracoastaI Waterways
Division, because MIR. Morris will
go with the new owners of the fleet
as manager of the service.
Those who met MIR. Morris when
he Seame to Elizabeth City this
*week are impressed with the SINGER
ity of the man and his genuine de-
sire to give Elizabeth City the
*cheaper freight service which it has
sought. But Elizabeth City can
hold this service only by giving
these barges an interesting volume
of business. MIR. Morris asked for
no binding guarantee. He only asks
that Elizabeth City provide as much
as 25 TO 40 tons of freight a trip
to begin with. And that seems
modest demand for ships built to
carry $50 to 600 tons. Elizabeth :
City having secured this barge SER
vice thru the efforts of its Cham :
: ber of Commerce can hold it now :
: by giving it business. Give it the =
business.

SAYS A PACKING
PLANT is NEEDED

Elizabeth City needs a cold storage
plant and meat packing establishment,
is the word put out thruout the South
in the current issue of Southern Oppor-
tunities. by r. G. Job, Secretary ofthe
Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce.
Southern Opportunities offered Mr.. Job
free space to advertise Elizabeth City,s
greatest business opportunity. He uses
the space to tell of the local need of
storage and packing facilities to care
for northeastern Sorth Carolina big
annual pig crop. More than 100000
head of swine were raised in these tSn
northeastern North Carolina counties
last year and the farmers of this sec
ton are ready to double that produc-
ton if given a local market.

REV. ]. M. AORMOND- WILL
QUIT PULPIT THIS FALL
Goes To Chair of Administration In
the Southern Methodist
University

Rev. J. NJ. Ormond, for the past four
years pastor of First Methodist Church
South, of this city, will quit the pulpit
Immediately after the Annual Confer
ence in November and will go to Dallas,
Tex, where he< will take the Chair of
Administration in the Southern Metho-
dist University.
The news of Mr.. Ormond's contem-
plated move has shocked many of his
congregation in this city who believed
that he would be persuaded to stay in
Elizabeth City another year under the
ruling by which the customary allotted
lister in a given field may be extended.
But it develops that Mr.. Ormond had
been considering the move to Dallas for
several years and was nearly persuaded
to go there four years ago. He came
to Elizabeth City then upon the insis-
tence of his cousin and great personal
friend Rev. Jesse l.. Cunningim, who
also left Elizabeth City for the South
ern Methodist University at Dallas. Mr..
Ctnningim had started the new Metho-
dist Church here and he was anxious
would carry it on. The church was
started as a 100000 proposition. The
war came on, building prices scared; !;
and then came changes in the plans of
the church itself, all calling for $780,
900 church instead of $4,000 church.
A strong pastor was needed to hold the
to the work ahead No
mistake was made in the selection of
Mr.. Ormond for the task. How well
he has succeeded is revealed in the
church edifce now nearly
under his ministry.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS

The strike that has paralyzed the
whole railway system of West Aus
tralia for some time has been settled.
The men were granted an eight-hour
day.
The Wood Newspaper Machinery cor
poration, Plianfeld, N. j., announced
that the plant would be operated on
schedule of forty-eight hours a week
instead of forty-four.
Seven mills at the Whittaker-Gless-
ner plant of the Wheeling Steel cor
poratiOn, Wheeling, w. Va, idle for
several weeks, resumed operations
Three hundred men were re-employed
Two thousand men in the operating
department of the Pullman company
were ordered to work nine hours
day. The employees at a mass meet
ing agreed to work the extra hour, un-
der protest.
The Philadelphia district council OF
textile workers decided to resist
strenuously any wage scale reductions.
Most manufacturers recently an
nounced reductions ranging from l0
to 25 per cent, threatening to close
plants If not accepted.
Wages of all workers in the plants
of the American Steel FOundries at
Hammond and Ann Arbor have been
reduced 10 per cent. This is the first
wage cut among steel workers of the
Chicago district. No announcement
has been made by the Illinois and the
Indiana steel companies.
At Glace Bay, N. S., curtailment in
operatiOn of the Dominion Coal COM
pany's collieries, with laying off of
many employees was officially an
nOunced. Loss of a contract with the
Dutch government left the company
without a market for coal outside the
maritime provinces, 1t was said.
Business agents of thirty-two unions
affiliated with the Chicago Building
Trades council voted unanimously to
"stand pat" on the present $1.25 an
hour wage for union building workers
and to insist that this same hourly
rate of pay continue for the next three
years.

Ireland. 1t is the duty of Aemrican
labor to assist in every way to arouse
the unthinking to the business of the
Irish struggle for liberty. The spirit
of the Irish people is splendid, they
have martyrs by the thousands; they
will shiver in the cold as their homes
are burning down; they are ready to
be starved to death; they scOrn the
British blockade; they die because of
the principle they espouse; that prin-
ciple is their right. All! 1t is their
duty and it is our duty, to see to it
that every manner of assistance is
rendered to the Irish people. They
ask for recognition and the indepen-
dence of their country. They have a
right to that recognition and the
American people should urge their
congress by petitions and otherwise
to see to it that the recognition of
Ireland by the United States becomes
q fact.
