The County Fair.


people a county minded folk in
stead of a town minded folk. That
means that we shall concentrate
our interests, our energies, our
pride in Richmond county instead
| of Rockingham and Hoffman and
Ellerbe. We think it an excel
lent move, as we think any move
ment good that broaGens our
view and widens our interest,
beginning at home and then ex-
tending to town, to county, to
state and to country. Drop a
stone in a pond and watch how
the ripples extend to the farthest
shore. Our towns are already
improving themselves in church
es, schools, homes and streets;
now let Richmond county lead
the state in county Improvement,
first taking stock of what we
have to start from. To find out
we have let's pull together to
make the next Fair the best pos
sible exhibit of the county re-
sources. Richmond reminds us
of what Uncle Jesse Page once
said to a proud young mother
showing him her new baby; the
dear old gentleman peeped eau
tiously at the squirming bundle
and said: II tell you there are
great possibilities in that fellow"
Speaking of mothers reminds us
of the women's share in the Fair;
many were kind enough to say
last year that the needle was the
best thing in the Fair but we
know that we were hampered by
the lack of space, nor does there
seem to be any hope of this con-
dition being bettered, so we will
have to do the best we can with
the space allotted to us. In order
that each article may be shown
to the best advantage we would
suggest that only one article of a
kind be prepared for exhibition.
Except in cases where articles
belong in sets, a luncheon set for
instance, may be represented by
the centerpiece and one dolly of
each size, making three articles
on exhibition instead of eleven.
One scarf, one centerpiece, one
bed spread, one sweater is enough
to demonstrate skill and taste.
| I'VE hope there will be a better
show of garments; there is a
present fad for crochetted gar
ments of all kinds and combin-
atoms and right now while the
days are long is the time to start.
What do we really know of the
resources of our county? Cotton
has always been King-so have
the Hohenzollerns as far as that
goes, but the time seems to have
arrived when both cotton and
Kaiser must step down and out,
one conquered by a tiny bug
with a sharp bill, the other by
the men who must conquer the
bug. They did one by coopera-
ton and they will do the other
by the same means. However,
this is not an essay on mans
problems, we just started out to
ask the women Of Richmond
county to stand by their old job
of making a fine exhibition of
lwoman's work at the Fair this
fall. We do not limit this re-
quest to the old ladies Gf there

CHEAP LENSES

There are no bargain days
nor substitutes for good eye
glasses. Cheaper materials
can be substituted for al
most anything except a cor .
rectly fitted lense. Cheap"
lenses ~oftentimes cause trouble OF
a more serious nature than the de-
fects they are supposed to correct.
Only people who have been trained
to recognize defects of vision and
to know how to make proper
correction are capable of advising
on. such an important subject as
lenses. Avoid trouble by consulting
reliable professional people and
taking their advice.

H. c. SULLIVAN GOES
ON TRIAL NEXT WEEK
Hertford Bank Cashier May Clear Up
Mystery of Where Went
the Coin

The case of II. c. Sullivan. charged
with embezzling more than 100000 of
the funds of the Farmers Banking &
Trust Co. of Hertford. will come to
trial in Superior Court in PerQuimans
County next week. There is much spec
ulation as to the course to be pursued
by the defendant. There is a rumOr
that he will involve other officials of
the defunct bank. as was the case III
Martin County where c. II. Goodwin
cashier of the Bank of WILLIAMSON
was recently acquitted of embezzlement
when it was brought out that officers
and directors of the bank had been
playing fast and loose with the banks
deposits. This is not believed to be
true of the Farmers Banking & Trust
Co and many close to the situation be-
lieve that Sullivan will enter a plea of
guilty and throw himself upon the mCr-
cy of the Court. promising to pay out
if judgement in his case is suspended.
II. {. Sullivan was cashier of the
Farmers Bank & Trust Co. He COM
pletely wrecked the bank, tho its de
poSitorS were spared any loss by the
IIertfOrd Banking Co. promptly taking
over the accounts of the defunct bank.
1t was thought at first that Sullivan
had sunk the money in the Eastern
Peanut Co. of which he was the founder
and president. An examination of the
peanut company's affairs reveals that
Sullivan had not paid for the property
it occupied or for stock on hand. What
went with the money is a mystery still.

R. c. ABBOTT GETTING
READY FOR MAY PEAS
Builds Big Platform on Water ST. De-
pot and Will Load and Ice Cars
Right At His Door

PaSQuotankS greatest acreage of
early truck peas is up and doing fine.
but whether the harvest will be an!
larger than last year is still problem
atical. 1t is believed that the acreage
this year is 30 to 75f5 higher than last
years. but there are discOuraging re-
ports of rot. r. c. Abbott. who han
dies the bulk of the peas shipped from
this county believes that the yield will
not exceed that of last year when "a
refrigerator, cars were shipped from
this city.
Mr.. Abbott is making extensive prep
arations for the handling of this years
crop and has built a big platform il
front of his warehouse on South Wat
er St. from which platform peas will
be loaded direct to the cars, saving
hauling across town. The cars will be
iced at AbbOtt'S depot.
Mr. Abbott shipped 65 of the 94 car
loads of peas shipped from Elizabeth
City last year and got big money for
his shipments.

HARD SURFACE R0ADFROM
EDENTON TO CURRITUCK
State Contracts To Be Let For Nine-Foot Road
Thru Four Counties With Foot Read For
Counties That Will Pay Difference

SURVEYS are to be made and
contracts let at an early date for
the construction Of forty-eight
miles of hard surface road from
Edenton. Chowan County, to
.Currituck c. H., a continuous
highway from Albemarle Sound
to Currituck Sound, thru the
counties of Chowan, Perquim-
ans. PaSquotank, Camden and
Currituck. via, Hertford, Eliza
beth City. Camden and possibly
Shawboro. The road will be di-
yided into four construction pro-
iects and the total cost will
amount to around a million and
a hall dollars.
This statement was authorized Tues
iav night b. State Highway Commits
~foncr Vim. \. Hart. following con
ference between Mr.. Hart and the high
way commissions Of the several coun-
-fcs at Uertford Tuesday.
The road viii enter Elizabeth City
via Church and Main streets at a point
near the Western terminus of these
fwo streets. Mr. Hart went over the
situation here Tuesday afternoon to
lerfde whether the road should enter
via Main o. EhriughauS streets. He
,ays nothing could induce him to bring
u State Highway thru such 4 blind cor
acr as exists at EhringhauS and Road
streets and that ne can not wait for a
city to 10 away with such a corner.
Mr.. Hart says that the Main st. route
S in every way the logical one. since
rattle entering the city may be diStrib
uted over TWO of the principal and
most beautiful thorofareS in the city.
Mr.. Hart SAYS that if this route is not
generally proclaimed the most satiSfac-
ory solution Of the problem. he will
volunteer 70 build another road via En-
r.ughauS st. at the end Of FIVE years.
The Camden Ferry Road at Eliza
,orh City is one of the greatest prob
ems confronting the construction en-
.neerS. Il has been finally decided to
.atld what IS known Is a slab concrete
~.ed over the marsh. The road i to
20 Is feet wide and will have an Is or
- inch curb on each side which curb
v"I strengthen the road and at the
,.urn time prevent traffic from working
aE .hn ro.i ir,o the marsh which it
rlyrr>cS.
It will take FOUR months to build this
Camden Ferry road and during that
-.-., ,rafic will have to be taken care
e via rhc old Lambs Ferry Road, the
S..-. pu--ius the Lamb Ferry Road in
