McCABE & GRICE TAKE IN
NEW MEMBER THIS WEEK
Aubrey McCabe, Son of the Original
and Genuine -. T." Becomes
Member of the Old Firm.

NIcCabe & Grice, of this city, have
taken a new member into the firm this
week in the person of Aubrey McCabe,
a son of ]. T. McCabe himself. Aubrey
McCabe had just naturally become a fix
ture in the business anyhow. He went
to work in the store about two years
ago and has shown craftsmanship and ex-
ecutive ability of high order. McCabe
Sr. is convinced that Aubrey will even
tually be the boss of the business any
how, so the youngster was taken in on
the ground floor this week. Aubrey
besides his inherent mercantile
ability, is a clever and popular young
man about town and possesses all of
his fathers old-time knack of making
and keeping friends and customers for
''the busy store.'' The members of the
firm as it is now composed are J. T.

PLANS A SEVEN WEEKS
ANTI-TYPHOID CAMPAIGN
State Board of Health Says We Suffer
Too Many To Die From This
PreVentabIe Disease.

With the object in view of putting
on an intensive anti-typhoid campaign
in Pasquotank this spring, DR.. James
S. Kitchener, Epidemiologist of the
State Board of Health was in Elizabeth
City Saturday in conference with local
physicians and the Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners. DIR.
Kitchener has visited the counties of
Currituck, Camden and Perquimans as
we'll
DR.. Kitchener insists that campaign
of seven weeks duration should be
waged in Pasquotank and that in that
time not less than 5000 persons
should be given the typhoid vaccine
treatment. There would be lectures in
every schoolhouse in the county and
clinics in every school center.
The State Board of Health doesn't
like Pasquotank's rank in North Car
olna's typhoid mortality statistics. Pas
quotank had 63 cases of typhoid and
seven deaths from typhoid last year.
That's more than double the states av-
erage The average North Carolina
county had only 80 cases and three
deaths in the same time. Evidently
something is wrong in Pasquotank.
DIR. Kitchener will outline his plans
for combating the situation in a let
ter to Chairman Burfoot of the Board
of Commissioners this week.

of the speaker:
For twelve years she was president
of the Utah state W. C.. T. q. Mrs
Shepard has taken the platform to tell
America not only of the iniquitous al
lance which existed many years be-
tween the Mormon church leaders and
the liquor traffic, but also to reveal the
commercial grip of Mormonism on the
country, its political power, its ecclesias-
teal tyranny, its fraud, its disloyalty,
it's polygamous practices and teachings
Gas a prominent leader in state af-
fairs in Utah, and the intimate asso-
ciate of many Normons, she has first
hand knowledge of Mormon intrigue,
purposes and customs, of the degrada-
ton it brings to women and of the
secrets of it's temple rites.
'AIrs. SheAard has gained the title |
Silver tongued orator of the Rocky |
because of her exceptional |
power as a platform orator. She is |
regarded as one of the most eloquent !
women in America. Added to her abil-
ty as a speaker, she possesses charm
ing personality and she holds her hear
ars in breathless attention while size

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
HAMPERED BY AUTOMOBILES

Elizabeth. City Rural Free Delivery
Carriers are a good natured lot. but
they are about to lose patience of late
because so many people persist in dis
regarding the law which makes if a mis-
demeanor for any person to obstruct a
rural mail box. John Culpepper. car
rier on R. f. D. 1, has found his work
seriously impaired since the opening of
the new brick road to Weeksville. Ev-
erybody goes to the country on this
new road and everybody usually stops
their car just off against. iD::l box.
Every time car or other vehicle is
parked in front of a mail box when
the carrier comes along, the carrier has
to get down to go to the box, whereas
if the box were unobstructed he could
drive his car right up alongside and
deliver mail without dismounting. The
carriers say to everybody, "have a heart
and don't park alongside anybody's mail
box"

suck legislation will pass the House
Overwhelmingly. but that the posi-
tion Of the Senate. with many hold
over members. is In doubt. The big
fight will be there. and the propo-
nents OF the tracks on the present
basis viii make their last stand
there.
The enemies OF race-track gam
bling point to the demoralizing ef-
feet Of TIE system In Maryland. and
will be prepared to make out case
with greater force and particularly
than ever before. They claim that
Maryland is the dumping-ground OF
the undesirable race-track and gam
bling following Of the whole East,
and that II is furthering and main
tanning the greatest gambling estab-
lishment. not excepting the Lou
isiana Lottery. which ever has ex-
listed in the United States.
II is not likely that either the
plan for the reorganization of the
State government upon an econom-
ical basis or the increase OF legis-
lative representation for Baltimore
city will be the occasion Of parti-
san contest. Carrying the State by
a substantial majority after a cam
paign in which such reorganization
was the chief issue. the Democrats
can expect general support for their
proposals. even from their political
opponents. In fact. TIE Republicans
did not oppose the plan as whole.
but criticised the Democrats for not
having accomplished reforms along
these lines at an earlier date. Under
such conditions. they can hardly op-
pose them now.
The Democrats also won on their
plan to increase the representation
from Baltimore city in the Legisla-
ture. The Republicans proposed a
somewhat larger increase and lost
on it. even in Baltimore. Tie Dem
ocrats used the argument that their
plan was more practical and the

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. .27. - with an
overwhelming majority in both

ture and a chief executive Of their
political faith. the Democratic party
in this State faces a session whicL
may be decisive OF party control Of
state affairs for many years to come.
The Legislature viii convene on the
evening Of Monday. January 9.
There are 73 Democrats in the
House OF Delegates. the total MEM
bership OF which is 100 In the Sem
ate, the proportionate Democratic
vote is even greater. p TO g. Under
these conditions. the responsibility
Of the party is unquestioned.
The Legislature has to deal. in
TIE first place. with those always
troublesome questions. the enforce
ment OF the eighteenth amendment
regulation or inhibition OF race
track gambling and the Sabbath
laws. Every effort has been made
to sidotrack these questions, but
there is no doubt that they will oc-
cupy n leading place in the atten-
tiOn OF the legislators and will De
the occasion Of acrimonious debate.
The presence in the House OF

~ and William Purnell Hall. both
keen fighters, insure the most ag-
gressive sort OF contest along these
lines Both favor the passage OF
State laws for the enforcement OF
the eighteenth amenment and the
compile inhibition OF racetrack

tense bitterness. Both men feel
that they have just ground OF COM
piaint against TIE old Democratic
leaders. who opposed them in the
primaries. and. according to their
belief. tried to defeat them in the
election.
Hall is particularly bitter toward
the Baltimore city leaders and points
out that he was cut heavily in the
precincts where their influence was
stronger and was stronger and was
saved from defeat by his big vote in
the sections where The church vote
is strongest. Under these conditions.
ne makes no hesitation of saying
where nj loyalty belongs and in
what direction his efforts will be
trained.
while there are few last

them from Baltimore city. there is
some indication that there viii be a
landslide 20 some form OF prohibitn
enforcement legislation, though the
act passed may be without any par
ticularly sharp teeth. It generally IS
believed that Maryland cannot put
herself in the position OF opposing
