IOWA DEFEATS
NORTHWESTERN
Claimants To Conference
Title Took Long End of
81 to 3 Score

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 27.-Spotting
Northwestern to a 3-point lead in the
first quarter, the University Of Iowa,
1921 Western conference champions
and claimants 20 the title this season,
scored a brilliant victory in the final
game Saturday. 81 to g..
Only in the first quarter did the
Purple eleven puzzle the Hawkeyes,
n to their credit must be written a
great forward pass offensive. Captain
Patterson put his team in the lead
with a place kick from the 25 yard
line.
After Glen Miller scored Towa's first
touchdown early in the second quar-
ter, there waslno doubt about the su-
lperiority of Howard Jones eleven.
Today's game was the final one for
Captain Gordon Locke, who made
four of Iowa's touchdowns today.

CURRITUCK WOMEN
DON'T WANT THIS MAN
John w. SanderIin of ShaWboro, Can
didate For Legislature, Has
Stayed Home Too Much

Politics began to warm up in Curri-
tuck County last Saturday when John
W. Sanderlin of Shawboro announced
his candidacy for the Legislature. That
puts three candidates in the field TO!
that Office. in Currituck. The other
two are D. W. Lindsey, of Poplar
Branch, and J. Lee Dunton, of Water
lily. Mr.. Sanderlin has been the Coun-
tv Treasurer of Currituck, but that Of
flee has been abolished
The candidacy of Mr.. Sanderlin vii
have the effect, it is said, of bringing
out the women vote in Currituck, as
no other mans candidacy would. The
women don't like him because of his
large family record; Mr.. Sandelin is the
father of 20 children by one wife ii
less than 20 years. If that isn't
enough to make his name anathema
among women, nothing could be. One
woman is quoted as having said: "A
man with as many children as thai
ought to stay at home and take care
of them: he really has no time to spent
away from home representing hi:
County in the Legislature or anywhere
else Another woman says she is go
ing to sacrifice principle and vote fol
him just to get him away from home
for two months; that he has spent tot
much time at home already.

TO BE TRIED TUESDAY
FOR SHOOTING NEGRO

The five men charged with the shoot

of vagrancy, was taken to the PaSquo-
tank Municipal Hospital after being
found in ditch where he had lain for
several days. The boy is now out of

ARE THE WOMEN MORE,
UNFAITHFUL THAN MEN?
Pasquotank Divorce Records Show
Them to Be Little
More

The growing belief of would-be Gym
may find a little. satisfaction in a pc
rusal of the divorce records of the
Pasquotank County courts. Comparison
of 65 cases granted in Pasquotank
courts in the past three years wherein
the main issue was adultery, show that
80 husbands had been guilty of adultery
while 33 wives had proved unfaithful.
In 1919 % divorces were granted in
Pasquotank County. That is the only
year in the past three in which the
court records show more adultery COM
mitted by wives than by husbands.
Eleven of these husbands and II wives
committed adultery; one divorce was
granted because of the impotency of
the husband, and five were granted be-
cause the couples had been separated
for 10 years.
In 1920, 33 divorces, tine largest
number in recent years, were granted.
In 30 of these cases, the main issue
was adultery. Fifteen husbands and 15
wives were guilty. One husband was
impotent, 1 had committed bigamy, and
one couple had been separated 10 years..
In 1921, due to hard times perhaps,
the number of divorces in this county
decreased. There were only Is in that
year, and six husbands and six wives
were guilty of adultery. Five couples
had lived apart for five years and one
couple had lived apart for ten years.

PLAN fine Club
HOUSE ON RIVER
Frank r. Hufty Drawing Inter-
esting Set of Plans For
DR.. John Saliba

Elizabeth City is to have a
modern waterfront club house
to serve the social needs and
club life of the whole commun-
ity if plans being drawn by
Frank R. Hufty for Dr.. John Sa-
liba. materialize. DR.. Saliba
owns about 200 feet of river
front property adjoining his
hospital property and he pro-
poses to build a club house on
the river opposite this property.
The proposed club house would be
built on piling at n distance of 80 feet
from the shore line and reached by n
pier from the shore. The plans will
call for structure GO feet wide By
81 feet long. 1t will have a dance floor
that can be used for banquet hall seat
ing 400 persons. Private dining rooms
and game rooms surrounding the dance
floor will be designed to be thrown open
to increase the seating capacity of the
place. to provide for an audience Of 6OO
persons.
The club house will have kitchen
cloak rooms. ladies retiring rooms. Law
atories for both men and women, dress
ing rooms for bathers, etc, etc. Pro-
vision will be made for boating and
fishing as well.
The building would cost about Slo,'
600 and would be designed to meet the
recreational needs of the city generally
while providing desirable quarters fol
meetings of the Rotary and hiwanls
Clubs, conventions, etc.
Frank r. Hufty who is drawing the
plans for DR.. Saliba has in mind
purely rustic type of building, built il
imitation of a big log cabin. Instead
of the conventional weather-boarding OF
the outside, the sheathing will be Gov
cred with hardwood slabs with the BARI
on and mortised with cement between
the seams.

OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR POTATOES
And Crop Follows Close on
Heels of This Sections
Biggest Pea Crop

Northeastern North Carolina
will have the best marketing ad-
vantages this season of any year
in the history of the potato in
dustry. On account of the late
ness of the local crop it will al
so be able to get its potatoes on
the market about the time
South Carolina cleans up its
crop, and a few days ahead of
Virginia. There are very few
indications of anything to point
.unfavorably toward handicap
in the market and unless the
whole situation changes consid-
erably, Northeastern North Car
olina farmers are going to make
some money off their Irish po-
tato crops this year.
Thru the efforts of the Elizabeth
City Chamber of Commerce, the Bu-
reau of Crops and Markets at Wash
ington, will send Geo. f. Prince of
Monette, Missouri to this city on the
fifth of June to keep the farmers post
ed on the markets, furnishing daily re-
ports received by telegraph on potato
movements and prices. The daily wires
will be sent in Government code ard
farmers in all sections will be assured
of the truth on the exact situation, and
won't have to depend on any commits
sion merchant for the information.
Definite estimates on this years po-
tato crop cannot be obtained. but some
local commission men believe there will
be at least 100000 barrels TO go thru
Elizabeth City and their estimates are
always low. Farmers in this section
will begin digging about the fifth of
June. Potatoes will be shipped in bet
ter shape this year, as more attention
will be paid to grading than hereto
fore.
Last year LAB cars of potatoes were
shipped out of Elizabeth City, or 2SS,-
600 barrels. In addition to these, 25.-
coo barrels were shipped by boat, and
10000 barrels went from Camden, Bel
cross, Shawboro and Gregory, making
total of 2S3,600 barrels.
Sweet Potatoes and May Peas
By the end of the season for early
sweets, shipments last year had as
sumed considerable volume. Ninety
thousand barrels were shipped by rail
from this section and $4,000 barrels by
water.
Five years ago only FIVE carloads of
May peas went from Elizabeth City.
Last year the crop had grown until
shipments amounted to 80 cars. This
years shipments have mounted to the
total of 126 cars shipped from this city
up to Wednesday night, or 50,400 bas
kets. These 50,400 baskets brought to
the farmers of this county where prac-
tically all these shipments were raised,
sum estimated at S151, 200. Pasquo-
tank farmers have made some money
on May peas this year.
