MOREuCHT ON
BROWN SUICIDE
Negro Lawyer Preferred Death
To Loss Of His Law

Rumors that the Albemarle Bank, the
one colored financial institution in this
city might have been embarrassed by
the suicide of G. W. Brown, a coiored
attorney and general counsel for that
bank, subsidized after an examination of
the. bank by a State Bank Examiner
this week. The AiheaAssls Bank is do
ing business at the same old stand and
it's loans are fully secured
Reports that Brown killed himself
because he was financially involved do
not seem to be borne out by facts that
have developed since his death. Those
acquainted with his affairs insist that
he was solvent. There was something
more behind the suicide of G. w. Brown
than financial troubles. 1t now develops
that Brown had contemplated suicide
for several weeks because of a fear
that he would lose his law license thru
the influence of local attorney of the
white race. Brown told several of his
Negro friends that if he lost his law
license he would have nothing to- live
for and in his respondent moods he
meditated upon killing his white enemy
before putting an end to his own life.

MUSICAL CARGO WENT
DOWN OFF OCRACOKE
Schooner Mary j. Haynie With Duff
Piano Co. Goods a Total
Wreck

The schooner Mary J. Haynie of
Elizabeth City, which sailed from Eliz-
abeth City with a cargo of musical in
struments on Friday, May 20, is a total
wreck in Pamlico Sound, about five
miles from Ocracoke Inlet, having been
driven ashore and broken up i'll north
cast storm Tuesday morning of this
week
The Mary J. Haynie is schooner of
15 tons gross register and is owned by
Cent. w. r. Owens of this~c Capt.
Owens left here with the. schooner last
FRIDAY, carrying a cargo of pianos, or
gans and musical instruments for The
duff Piano Co. of this city. The cargo
was valued at $1,000 and was not in
sured
Capt Owens and crew and part of
the cargo were saved, but the Duff Pi-
ano Co. has not been advised as to the
condition of the salvaged property.
The Duff Piano Co. has developed a
healthy demand for musical instruments
in remote communities on the inland
Carolina and has served this trade by
schooners for several years. This is
their first disaster w. p. Duff, presi-
dent of the company, takes the loss
philosophically. He says, eve may
now say that we have furnished music
to everything in eastern North Caro-
lima, including the wild, wild waves"

SEWERAGE SHOULD
GO ON UNDER RECElVERSHIP
AFTER JULY (.

Negotiations fer the purchase Of
the properties Of the Electric Light
Co., the Water Co. and the, Sewer
age c., by the city, having tOrmin.
. atod this week by the refusal Of the
afaliated comPaRies to accept the
city's sRsr Of. $325, 200, the Sewer
age cO. comes back with the an.
" nounoemsnt that It will suspend oP-
" erations here on July {, 1921.
Howard e. Creok, president of
=" the Sewerage Co., says that the
company will discontinue service
/" absolutely because the company is
losing meney. ---..>-s
This need not mean, however,
that so many homes and business
*houses will be without sewerage af-
" ter July {. If the Sewerage Co.
will not give service, then. the city
may call for a receiver for the
property and insure its operation
just the same. This the new Board
of Aldermen can do, unless it is the
Mack Sawyer plan to do nothing,
. leave the city without sewerage and
put the town in a>positi0n where it
will be forced to pay Mr.. Crooks
" price of $4,000 for his seweage,
Tight and water properties.

WHAT ELIZABETH CITY
NEEDS MOST RIGHT NOW
Uncle Pats Party Given Jolt At
Chamber of Commerce Luncheon

At the Chamber of Commerce lunch
con yesterday a prize of an automobile
spotlight donated by the Motorist Sup
ply Co. was offered for the best sugges-
ton for the civic or industrial better
ment of Elizabeth City. Nearly one
hundred persons at the luncheon wrote
their suggestions on slips of paper and
they were submitted to a committee of
five. (,
The committee was composed of P.
H. Williams, L. r. Foreman, w. B.
Goodwin, A. r. Nicholson and Mrs
James NJ. Hill.
The prize was awarded the following
suggestion:
"That Elizabeth Citys greatest
need at the present time is
trained, experienced and capable
city manager and one who has, at
least, succeeded in his own busi-
ness"
Four members of the committee are
said to have voted for the award of the
prize on this suggestion. A fifth, voted
against it. He was P. II. Williams, one
of the Aldermen who picked J. E. Fer
ebee for the position of City Manager
of Elizabeth City.
The winning suggestion was signed
by Miles L. Clark, manager of the
Texas Co.

disapproVe of political favoritism and
graft. Elizabeth City will have a worse
dose than J. B. Ferebee rammed down
thru, unless W. H. Jennette will assert
his better qualities. Jennette is the
key-man at this time.
There were several applicants for the
position of City Manager before the eau
Gus Monday night. Among them were
Charles Benton, a builder and contrac-
tor; j. E. Moran, a successful farmer,
lumberman and business man; and C. P.
Wales, former woods superintendent of
the Dare Lumber Co. In the opinion
of those who know him, Mr.. Wales
more nearly measures up to the Office
He is q college man, a civil engineer
and an experienced executive. He is a
hard worker himself and knows how to
handle labor. Dare Lumber Co. officials
regarded him one of the most capable
men in their employ. He has been a
resident of this section for several
years and it is said the work of city
appeals to him and he is
anxious to get into it and master it.
The other men mentioned are capable
and successful men, practical and de-
pendable, but not possessed of the tech
nical training of Mr.. Wales. But the
politicians couldn't use men like Messrs.
Benton, Moran and Wales. These men
have been too busy making a success
of their lives to campaign for Mack
Sawyer candidates for the Board of AL
dermen.

TO ISSUE DAILY REPORTS
ON N. C. POTATO MARKET

The Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, will open a
temporary field station at Washington,
n. c., on or about May 31st, 1921, for
the purpose of issuing daily market re-
ports on white potatoes during the po-
tato shipping season. These reports
will be similar to the ones distribut-
ed last season and will contain infor-
nation regarding carlot movement of
potatoes, prices and conditions in the
producing section, and carlot receipts,
conditions and prices in the large ter
minal markets handling North Carolina
potatoes. These daily telegraphic re-
ports will be furnished free of charge
upon request, to al persons interested
in tie movement and marketing of white
potatoes.
Growers desiring these daily reports
shoulG write to GEO. E. PRINCE, Bu-
reau Of Markets, Washington, N G.

MARKET WEAKENs AS
SPUDS BEGIN TO MOVE
Elizabeth City Potatoes Roll In On Top
of South Carolina's Best.

Unwilling to listen to reason or be
guided by their past disastrous expert
ences growers in the Elizabeth City sec
ton have been hurrying new Irish po-
tatoes to market for the past ten days,
sending the worst spuds they will pro-
duce to market in competition with the
best of the South Carolina crop. The
South Carolina crop wild be cleaned up
by the end of this week and eastern
North Carolina spuds would control the
market until the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia crop began to move. But our To-
cal growers couldn't wait Potatoes
have been moving at the rate of seven
to ten car loads a day from Elizabeth
City for the past week The highest
price obtained has been $6.10 f. o. b.
Elizabeth City. Some stock will un-
doubtedly bring less. Norfolk yester-
day would quote only $3.50 to 81
barrel.
The movement of potatoes from this
section will be well under way and
many trainloads will move next week.
With the South Carolina crop out of the
,eay next week it is believed the mar
ket will strengthen. Others are pessi-
niistic and fear the market will not re-
cover.
The biggest shipments this week are
from Currituck county and moved via
the North River line. This line is now
operating three steamers between Ellz-
abeth City and points in Camden and
Currituck The three steamers are the
Annie E.. VanSciver, the Appomattox
and the General ]. B. Carr. The Van
Solver has recently undergone a thoro
overhauling and has been equipped with
new boilers.

DIGGERs STRIKE -
WHEN PAY is REDUCED

Colored potato pickers in the Aurora
section of Beaufort County have gone on
strike, due to the reduction made in pay
at the beginning of the present season,
says the Washington, N G. Daily News.
Scores of negroes, who started work
this week, have" quit. There are now
a considerable quantity of potatoes in
the fields which have been plowed up but
which have not been picked up.
The pay this year, as agreed upon by
the farmers of the Aurora section, was
10 cents per>barrel for pickers. The
negroes worked for this sum only few
days, and then they demanded more pay
for their work. The increase was re-
fused them and, as result, the strike
ensued.
