Will SUCCEED
JUDGE CONNOR
So Says The Washington Cor.
respondent of the Green's
boro Daily News

The recent prediction OF W.
A. Britton, Washington cor
respondent of the News & OBJ
server, that Col. |. M. Meek
ms of Elizabeth City would be
made Federal Judge for the
Eastern District of North Car
olina is now supplemented by
the declaration of w. A. Hill
dcbrand, Washington cores
pondent of the Greensboro
Daily News, that Col. Meek
ms will succeed Judge Connor
by Jan. l, 1928.
The Washington correspondents
know pretty well how things are go
ing at Washington and are not reck-
less in the matter Of predictions. Mr..
IIildcbrand. writing TO his paper un-
der date of Oct. ,, says:
Marked crcdcncc is given the Raj
cigh report, published in the Daily
News. that Judge Connor is to re-
tire from the bench about the first
of the year. Men identified with
both the political parties look for
this, and the belief is growing that
Judge Connor will retire rather than
ask for the appointment of IN addl-
tional judge. \ nice regard for all
the prOprictics. real or fancird. Will
lead him to pursue this course, it is
thought.
There is available here now am
pie confirmation of the report sent
the Daily News several days since
that Colonel !. NJ. Mcckins, in charge
of the New York Office of the alien
property custodian. will receive the
appointment in the event of the re-
tircmcnt of Judge ConnOr. Mr..
Mcckins and his supporters have not
only been active. but effectively so.
AS yet Republican State Chairman
Bramham has not favored any of the
candidates with his endorsement, but
in this, as in other respects, the
signs appear to favor Mr.. Meekins.
Up to the present writing the state
chairman has agreed with those who
feel that the act would suggest a
tranSgression of the proprieties to
indorsc an applicant for Il vacancy
which does not yet exist. When the
time for action arrives Mr.. Bram-
ham will probably throw his support
to the Elizabeth City man: albeit he
has not authorized statement of his
position.
/ During the next few weeks eff
forts will be directed to prevent d
situation from arising such aS exist
ed at the time Judge COnnOr was
appointed. when Republican candi-
dates said uncomplimentary things
about one another and when Presi-
dent Taft. taking the several gentle
men mt their word. named Demo.

publican organization in the state
The New York senator's, Mcssrs
Wadsworth and Calder, are number
cd among the MCckins supporters,
who have already succeeded in reach
ing the ear Of President Harding.
/ While it can scarcely be said that
the President has committed himself
it is nevertheless known that Mr..
Harding is inclined to look with fa-
vOr upon the proposed appointment.
Moreover, the stage is apparently set
for prompt action should Judge Con-

PASTORS ARE
NOT WORRYING
Elizabeth City Ministers Fear
No Grave Danger to Com
munity Morals From
Open Sunday

The ministers of Elizabeth City
exhibit no great excitement over the
repeal of the Sunday Blue Law.
The predictions of many that howl
would go up from the preachers has
marcrializcd in nothing exciting to
date. The pastors of Elizabeth City
probably have less TO fear from the
act than ever before. for no outside
attraction can likely draw away the
regular church gocrs who are now
cbiOying the best religious programs
we have vet had. The churches are
doing splendid work under the lead
crShip Of pastors who are on the
most Friendly footing Of recent years.
1t is not likely that the church at
tendance will decrease.
Questioned as To his opinion on
the subject. Rev. ii. T.. Myers. pas.
tor of City Road Methodist Church.
states that he believes church at
tendance will not be affected either
way. Those who would spend their
church hours around drug stores, are
those who now don't go to church.
perhaps" states Mr.. Myers.
Il do not adopt the Puritanical
viewpoint of the question. and insist
that it is wrong from moral stand
point, but | do believe that the Sun
day operation of drug stores works
lrarm in dcpriving clerks of Il day
Of recreation. 1t is due every man
to have Il day of rest once week.
Opening the stores takes that day
away from the clerks.
DR.. Samuel \. Tcmplcman. pastor
of the First baptist Church. is not
prone to hastily jump at conclusion
and bcratP the harm the law may do
the Elizabeth City churches. Il have
not been in Elizabeth City long
enough to pass IN opinion on the
matter aS it affects local affairs"
states DIR. Tcmplcman. a great
many people seem to think them
selves able to tell what's wrong in
town as soon as they locate in il.
My observation in other places how
ever. has been that open drug stores
have reduced church attendance. 1t
is more true where there is the
gang spirit. 1t will not bother the
leaders, but will affect the followers
who too often do what someone high
or up is doing
Rev. George +. Hill, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church. being also
of one of the most tolerant religious
denominations in this respect, does
mt fear that church attendance will
be much affected. The hardship
would be on those working in the
stores should they keep open all day,
which in itself is Il rcgrcttable con-
ditiOn,. Mr.. Hill thinks. From Il rcli-
giOus standpoint Mr.. Hill believes it
would be better for everything to
close on Sunday. but that the present
ruling is the best substitute for the
former condition. 1t is not fair, he
believes, for gasoline to be sold if
the drug stores are closed, for in his
opinion, more harm results from
Sunday afternoon and night ioy-rid
ing than from rcfrcShmcnt sales i'll
drug stores. Had | been up there
that night, | would have offered 10
protest." says Mr.. Hill, referring to
the City Council. Every man is

eucc to show him what's right and

Mr. Brock. who has made and lost1
several small fortunes in the potatoI
game, is going to try spinach, rad-
ishcs and Strawberries, three cropsI
never before grown on Il commercially
scale in this vicinity. He has twenty.
acres in spinach planted in Scptem-

acres in spinach and will follow fhq1

county. The Norfolk territory aftcr]
making millions out of spinach and
strawberries has suddenly found itf
self unable to grow these crops, be-
cause its soil is exhausted. NorfIs.
has used up its soil and burned u
up with commercial fertilizers. TheI

upon Norfolk for spinach, strawberS

must turn elsewhere.

manure was plentiful and ,n. -,
Millions of tons of manure from he
cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia
went on Norfolk County farms until.
manure became scarce in those cities'
and freight rates became almost pro-

upon this imported manure. Tbey|
did not grow SOY beans or raise live
stock to replcnish their soils. They
awoke 70 the need of the lcgumeS

Spinach is a highly profitable crop
where it can be successfully grown,
The yield is about 200 barrels to the'
acre every sixty days from Novem-|
Der TO April and the market price
varies from S1.25 to $3.50 a barret
I these being the lowest and highesi
figures. The first crop in the fall
usually brings high price. II il

which in itself is an assurance of d
high price for the first crop.
Radishes are another money maxi

are not grown to any considerable
