Applications For Minors
Working Permits Increase

Applications for minors employment
certificates have been numerous at
the office OF N. F. Fultz, superintend-
ent of the local Junior Guidance and
Placement department in United
States employment service. Ever
since the visit of an inspector in the
city. the applications have increased
each day and the director has issued
II certificates TO employers.
Many cases OF law-breaking are eH-
listing in the city at this time, accord
ing to reports. and it is predicted that
the breakers of the minor law will
sooner or later be caught. The law
provides that any girl under the age
of IS years cannot work after the hour
of o'clock p. m. and that any boy
under the age of 16 cannot work after
! that hour.

WASHINGTON. NOV. 3O-A total
Of 9.2451 1875 automobiles. trucks and
commercial motor vehicles were reg
istered in the IS states and the Dis
tricct of Columbia, during the first
six months of the present year, az
cording to report just issued by the
bureau of public roads, department o:
agriculture.
The fees collected from these res
istradons and the licensing of drivers
Welded a gross revenue of S108212,
165. These figures are an increa@" CT
nearly $60,000,000 over the emit a, =
months Of 1920 According to ne
bureau 95 per cent of the revenue is
available for work on public roads.
Public road bureau officials state
that the law recently passed by con
gress appropriating $75, coo, 600 fol-
highway construction already is haV-
ing very stimulating effect on high
way construction, which has become
one of the country's greatest indus
tries.
Many Affected.
Highway building and maintenance
affects 10000 federal, state, township,
county and city employees, 1000 road
contractors. 5000 bridge contractors,
1000 manufacturers of road buildine
machinery and appliances, over 1000
concerns manufacturing highway
equipment, and practically $1,000 civil
and highway engineers.
There are, according to the bureau
statistics, over 200 firms manufac.
turing road building cement, repre-
senting an investment Of $336,000,000
and having an annual output of 120f
coo, coo barrels. There are 1871 paving
/ brick manufacturers, representing ar
/ invested capital of $18, 600 600. There
! are 46 wooden paving block manu-
! facturers, % manufacturers of gran
lite block. and 800 dealers in crushed

sent an invested capital of $4,000,
/ coo. There are $50 concerns handlinc
/ sand and gravel and AZ concerns man
ufacturing asphalt. These two in
! dustries represent q capital invest
ment of 100000 900.
! Others Benefit.
In addition to all these industries
which are directly and almost solely
! concerned with highway construction
/ theTe are numerous important lndu1
tries which are greatly benefited b!
road building, such as manufacturer
/ of wire, picks and shOvels, oils, tar
( pitch and all sorts of materials tina
enter into highway work. Then Their
is the immense automobile and mote
truck industry which is keenly in
terested in better roads.
The prediction is made that thu
( substantial encouragement the fedora
/ government has given to road build
ing will give employment not only t;
the 100000 to 400, coo men normall,
engaged at work on the highways, bu
it will give employment to tens O

this year she is to give the Messiah.
The Messiah is made up OF solos,
recitations (recitations to music and

the best known and is the one to be

Upon its presentation in Dublin, the

Crowds which swarmed to the Muir

the attendance of the first showing

the embarrassment felt by those un-
accustomed to appearing in public had
worn away for the second appearance

A MINNESOTA PAPER
PRAISES INDEPENDENT
Says 1t Is One North Carolina News
paper Worth Reading

It's n long way from Elizabeth CITY
\. c., to Long Prairie. Mimi, but
seems that THE INDEPENDENT
known even in Minnesota. The Tod
County Tribune, published = at Lon
Prairie, Mimi. contained the followin
mention of w. O. Saunders and TIL
INDEPENDENT in its issue on Thurs
day, August t:
1T takes courage to run Progress
sive newspaper in North Carolina.
We regret that there are only few
newspapermen with the courage IN the
Tar Heel state, but we are proud OF
one. W. O. Saunders, Editor of the
independent of Elizabeth City, \. c..
:'Some II or 10 years ago Mr.. Saun-
ders started the Independent. With
the first issue he started telling the
truth. This offended the local mer-
chants so they put a boycott on the
Independent. Mr.. Saunders run over
to Norfolk and secured advertise
ments and went right on telling the
truth.
His subscription list grew by leaps
and bounds so the local merchants
then got some 100 per cent patriots
to take an occasional shot at Mr..
Saunders. They missed him. Then
the dirty political gang were appealed
to and Mr. Saunders was arrested
number of times upon 'frame-up'
charges, but he was always acquitted.
every time he was arrested, or
shot at, his subscription list increased.
As result of this 10 years of battle
North Carolina has one TRUTHFUL
AND PROGRESSIVE NEWSPAPER.
''Th4s is the only paper published In
the entire state of North Carolina
that the Editor of the Todd County
Tribune considers worth reading.
"Last week the KU KLUX KHAN
came to Elizabeth City to form an
organization.
"Mr. Saunders did not hesitate to
call a spade a spade, so he told the
truth and expressed his opinion OF
that organization.
'sThis editorial is good and express
es our opinion of the Ku Klux Khan
so we'll that we are adopting it. Here
it is:"
Following the above the Todd County
Tribune published Saunders Ku Klux
Klan editorial in full. That editorial
which originally appeared in THE IN
issue of July % has been
reprinted in many newspapers thruout
the country.

PEOPLE STARVING ON
MELONS AND "LOPES'
Elizabeth City Swamped With GIuta of
WatermeIons and CanteIoupes

The melon market went to smash in
Elizabeth City when more water melons
and canteloupes were thrown on the
market here in week than in many a
whole season before. WatermeIons
have been retailedl here at five to ten
cents a piece this week and canteloupes
grow over-ripe waiting for purchasers
at one to two cents a piece. IF the
glut keeps up Elizabeth City people will
starve themselves to death eating wat
ermelons and canteloupes. The food
valu eof these things is negligible and
the people stay so full of canteloupes
and watermelons that they don't have
capacity left for neurishing foods. The
result is hard on the butchers, bakers
and grocers.
One big gasboat stopped at Elizabeth
City Wednesday with, cargo of melons,
found the condition of the market here
and made a quick getaway for Norfolk
where the owner expects to get better
prices.
Most of the melons sold here come
from Currituck and other counties The
canteloepes are home grown and Pas
quotanks crop this year was a bumper
and then some.

IS CARS oH SWEETS y
MOVED OUT YESTERDAY
Shipments Expected To Weak
on Market

Thirty-fve cars, the equivalent of g
900 barrels of early sweet potatoes
from Camden and Currituck relied out
of Elizabeth City yesterday for markets
East and West. Many of these pota-
toes sold here readily at $4.75 to $500
a barrel, with the New York market
quoting as high as $500 for prime
stock.
Yesterdays movement was the big
gest of the season to date, shipments
having averaged around 25 cars a day
for the rest of the week. Unless the
demand increases the heavy shipments
expected to continue for the next few
days will weaken the market, according
to the opinion of dealers here and low
er prices are expected any day. Prices
to date have held good.
Growers in Currituck continue with
out the relief which a good rainfall
would give them. With a larger acreage
than in any former year, the growers
have been hit by drought which has
cut their production 80 per cent, it is
estimated.
