'BORAH KNOCKS

Harding's Proposal Means

Washington, NOV. II (by the AS
sociated Press. 1.-The continuing

cording to reports, PresidS
Harding has foreseen as posSS =

ator Borah, republican, Ide i
clared in a statement tonifCS I :
Senator Borah's staten q:
"The proposed assof OF
nations has not yet be. dced
to form nor yet defined. "a from
what one can gather it is the old
league of nations under another
name. 1t will be engaged In pre-
cisely the same kind of work and
doing the same kind of things pro-
posed by the league. 1t is not what
you call 1t, but what it Is that
counts.
Fundamentally 1t will not diff
fer from the league OF nations. l
see no reason therefore why thu
forty-three nations which have
signed the league should be asked
to abandon it and transfer their
names to an association of nations.
If we want to so into this kind of
proposition there Is no reason
why we should not experiment
with the one they have.
"lt Is claimed by league advo-
Gates that the league has been of
much service to Europe. If so,
there is no reason for asking Eu-
rope to scrap the old league and
try new one. If we are going into
Europe we ought to go in. If we
are not, we ought not to be hand
ing her'a new league every ninety
days. She will likely conclude
that after the next presiden-
tial election she would have an
other league. I see no difference

one argument being put forth in
favor of the association of nations.
Is that Mr.. Wilson made a mistake
in giving his plan a written consti-
tuition; that we should adopt the
British idea and undertake to con-
duct the league or an association of
nations without any written consti-
tuition or written covenant. In other
words, that the new association
Will consist of representatives of
different governments coming to-
gether with no limitation on their
jurisdiction or power or authority
other than their own discretion. A
conclave of diplomats sitting be-
hind closed doors with nothing to
direct or limit their powers save
their own will and discretion would
be rather interesting proposition
L am inclined to think that if the
American people choose q league,
they will choose one which has it's
powers defined, or at least an at
tempt to define them rather than
to trust their destiny to the unde-
slrable discretion or few men.

MAY HARBOR BIG
FLEET AT. E. CITY
James Stewart Construction Co.
Seeking Harbor For
Idle Craft

A representative of the James Stew
art Construction Co. of New York City
arrived in Elizabeth City yesterday to
inspect the facilities afforded here for
harbor for feet of 25 or more dredg-
es, scows and other craft used by this
big contracting firm on government op-
erations in Hampton Roads and now
idle. The company must get its boats
out of the salt water of Hampton Roads
where they suffer great damage. from
worms which attack woodwork exposed
in saltwater. The company seeks a Sc
cure land-locked fresh water harbor
close to shipyards where repairs can be
made and near town where the crews
of the fleet are convenient to supplies
and recreation. Elizabeth City has ev-
erything the company is looking for.
The representative, of the James
Stewart Construction Co., who is in
Elizabeth City this week is none other
than Guy Pinner, former Elizabeth
City boy, who has for some time held
a responsible position with the COM
pany.
The significance of this enterprise to
Elizabeth City is that it will bring a
lot of business to Elizabeth City ship
builders and add a large number of men
to the city's floating population.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CUTS
DOWN. FERTILIZER RATE
Discrimination Against Local Manufac-
turers Removed And Rate Re-
duced to SI.62H

The attention of the Norfolk South
ern R. R. having been called to a dis
criminatory fertilizer rate in favor of
Norfolk fertilizer manufacturers over
Elizabeth City, the. company has ad-
justed the rate and Elizabeth City man
ufacturers now have the same rate to
Norfolk that Norfolk manufacturers
haverhad to Elizabeth City. AS pointed
out by this newspaper, a Norfolk ship
per may ship fertilizer into Elizabeth
City on a rate of $1.621a per ton. But
the Elizabeth City shipper has been
made to pay $2.3s per ton on the same
fertilizer shipped to Norfolk
E. D. Kyle, vice president of the Nor
folk Southern has notified the agent M.
E. Dennis in this city that the fertiliz-
er rate ftom Elizabeth City to Norfolk
will now be $1.621s, the same as the
rate from Norfolk to this city. Mr..
Kyle indicates in his letter to Mr.. Den
mis- that the rate would have been ad-
justed long ago if any one. had asked
for it.. The prompt action of the Nor
folk Southern in this one adjustment
may indicate readiness upon the part
of the officials. of that road to cooper
ate with local shipper in removing other
| determinations.

GOVT. BARGELINE
First Steel Freighter For Direct
Service to Baltimore Due =
Monday

Elizabeth City has finally Sc
cured freight barge service &c
Baltimore and the service will be
inaugurated Monday, July rs,
when the first of the govern
ment's Self propelled steel barges
for this run will dock at Eliza
beth City. And so the efforts of
the Elizabeth City Chamber of
Commerce to secure this cheap
er freight service for Elizabeth
City have been promptly re-
warded.
In long distance telephone CONVEX
sations with G.. 0. Robinson of this city
yesterday, Franklin C. Morse, general
manager of the 1ntracoastal Waterways
Division of the U. S. War Dept. said
that he personally would come to Elfz-
abeth City Monday to meet the barge
here and meet with Elizabeth City ship
pers.
The Chamber of Commerce is to-day
inviting Elizabeth City business men
and shippers generally to attend a spe-
cial meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce at o'clock Monday afternoon,
the meeting to be held on board the
government freighter itself at the wharf
of the Brock & Scott Produce Co. on
Water st. These business men will
there meet Mr.. Morse and given an op-
portunity to inspect the barge and learn
all about the new service.
The barge that will make the first trip
to Elizabeth City is one of the regula-
ton shallow draft steel freighters used
by the Intracoastal Waterways Division.
1t is $50 feet long, has a freight capac-
ity of 25O tons and runs under its own
crude oil engines. These barges have
sufficient power to carry in tow six or
seven smaller barges, carrying extra
eargoes in this way much after the man
ner of a freight locomotive hauling a
string of cars. A steel tow barge will
accompany the freighter which arrives
here Monday. The boat sails from Pier
No. 5, Pratt ST., Baltimore, Saturday
afternoon. Elizabeth City firms having
freight moving from Baltimore this week
may get their goods on this first trip
by notifying Baltimore shippers imme-
diately.

ing in the Red Mems Hall in this city
Wednesday night, at which it was pro-
posed to organize a tribe, lodge or
horde of the Ku KIux Klan. .AIyster-
ious invitations had been mailed to hun
dreds in Elizabeth City and it was un-
derstood there was to be a speaker. But
no one spoke. After it appeared that
10 would be the maximum number pres
ent strange man got up and asked
those present to bunch up in corner,
as they seemed lost scattered about the
big lodge room. He didn't introduce
himself but explained that he had lost
his front teeth and couldn't talk very
welk, In fact he didn't propose to talk
anyway. He looked toward the writer
and said he didn't want to be misquoted.
To be safe he would read what he had
to say. He read some high-fown rhet-
orical stuff from a little pamphlet, the
gist of which represented that the Ku
Klux Klan reverentIy acknowledge the
majesty of God. believe in WHITE "SU-
PREAIACY and the protection of-our
pure womanhood. In answer to a
question the man said, it cost $40 to
join the order. He passed around slips
of paper for those who wished to join
to write their names on. He said those
who couldn't sign up should get out
and save their time and his. I got out.
After the meeting I tried to find out
who the organizer is. I had seen him
about town for the past tYo or three
months. His name is NJ Maxwell, he
comes from Norfolk, never cut much
ice there and no one seems to know
much about him. A few of those who
were at the meeting Wednesday night
signed the slips of paper. 1t was rep
resented that there are already a num-

HOSPITAL.DRNE
+. ON IN EARNEST
Many Organizations Co-operat-
ing to Give City a Com
munity Hospital

The movement to lease the Saliba
Hospital property here and convert it
into a community hospital free from
medical cliques and factiona1 control, in
augurated~by the Chamber of Commerce
two weeks ago, is gaining momentum
and much of the stock required for the
experiment has already been subscribed
without anything like a concerted drive
having been made, The drive is now on
in earnest with committees from the
Chamber of Commerce, Merchants As
sociation, Young Women's Club and
other organizations at work. The col
ored people have also shown a spirited
interest in the enterprise and are sub
scribing 100 shares of the capital stock
among themselves.
Stock is being sold in $40 shares and
it is. proposed to lease, the hospital as
soon as $4,000 has been subscribed.
With the assured cooperation of the
local medical fraternity it is hoped to
establish the hospital on a self sustain
ing basis within year and. then turn
it over to tlhe County Commissioners to
be operated as a county health center
under state laws providing for the op
Grafton of hospitals by counties. Those
who argue that they don't want hos
pital in politics are met with the argu-
ment that they probably don't want
schools in politics either, but we must
have schools. If any one has better
plan the Chamber of Commerce will
gladly accept it, as those behind the
hospital movement are interested only
in getting a hospital going and not in
the details of it's management.
