NORFOLK ENTERPRISE
GETS WINEKE'S GOAT
Another Man Learns That Love for
Profits Is One Thing and Home
Pride Something Else.

Fred W. Wineke. Baltimore capital
iSt. who came to Elizabeth City several
months ego delighted with the town
and determined to transfer all of his
investments from Baltimore TO Eliza
beth City, is going back to Baltimore,
He is sore on Elizabeth City. He has
sold out his interest in the Wineke
Apartments just completed, to L. B.
Perry. He has abandoned other build
ing projects and offers his city lots for
sale.
Mr.. Wineke, is sore because two of
the largest drug stores in elizabeth
City have signed up contracts to use
the Norfolk ice cream this year, pass
ing up the product Of the Winekream
Co.,, an ice cream Eness established
here by Mr.. Wineke ..lst summer. Mr..
Wineke had turned the ice cream bus
mess over to his son, Sam A. Wineke,
and his son-in-law, r. ]. Cohoon, but
he is still interested in the success of
the venture and had planned to make
that ice cream factory a great milk
center and a butter and
cheese mandatory as well. But when
local dealers signed up with a Norfolk
concern for their years supply of ice
cream. Fred Wineke said damn and
'Tm done" He will invest no more
money in Elizabeth City.
Local dealers who signed with the
Norfolk concern were persuaded to do
so for several reasons, one of which
was that they were promised certain
free shares of stock in the Norfolk
business if they would use the Norfolk
cream. They also got lower price
than formerly.
Whether Sam Wineke ard Riley Co.
loon will stay by the old town and
fight it out remains to be seen. But
Fred Wineke is thru. 1t is Back,
Back. Back 20 Baltimore" for Fred.

ELIZABETH CITY NOT
TO EAT S CENT BREAD
Norfolk Gets Five Cent Loaf But
We Don't Get Ii

Norfolk. Va. consumers. just 80 mile.
from Elizabeth City are now buying ;
twelve ounce loaf of bread for a nicke
| or fourteen ounce loaf for six cents
| but Elizabeth City consumers continue
to pay eight to nine cents for a four,
teen ounce loaf
Two Norfolk bread wagons operating
on the streets of Elizabeth City arc
selling a sixteen ounce loaf to Elizabeth
City stores at seven cents a loaf and
the local stores are retailing it at nine
cents, making a profit of two cents o
loaf. The same loaf is sold to the Nor
folk stores for six cents and the Nor
folk stores retail it at seven cents.
The Norfolk bakers say the cost of
wrapping bread for Elizabeth City and
the added cost of expressage from Nor
folk to this city will not enable them
to sell bread here as cheaply as in Nor
folk.
In meantime the local bakers hold
fast to their prices, claiming that they

is baked in Norfolk because the cost of
gas fuel for baking is twice as high
here as in Norfolk. And so the nickeJ
loaf of bread for Elizabeth City doesn't
seem to be anywhere in sight. 1t is
safe bet that the local bakers are not
going to materially reduce prices so
long rs the Norfolk hakers hold IN
their prices in Elizabeth City. And so
long as the local bakers hold up prices.
the Norfolk bakers are not going to
break their necks reducing their profits.

in the strong prison at Raleigh, he was
put out with convict laborers in State
camp. Fulton repeatedly told his
guards in the camp that he expected to
leave them. One day he got nearly q
rife shot away from his guards, hailed
them. told them good bye and jumped
behind a pile of lumber. He outwitted
the guards completely and made his eS-
cape. That was just few months af-
ter he began serving sentence, in the
summer of 1918.
Several times since then there have
been burglarieS in this city and vicin-
ity that looked like the work of the
Lowry gang, eliminating in the robbery
of the home of DR.. \. L. Pendleton in
this city on Christmas night. The rob-
becy Of DR.. Pendleton'S home was in
all probability well planned stroke of
revenge. DR.. Fendeton as Post Mas
ter of Elizabeth City had Secret Ser
vice men Eot on the trail of the Lowrys
for .he robbery of the Elizabeth City
poStOfice at the time they were landed
in Jail. The post Office charges were
not pressed when they were sentenced
and convicted by the State Court. But
The Lowry boys hadn't forgotten DR..
PendletOn. The wonder is that they
hadn't also taken crack at c. Il.
Pugh while about it.

PROPOSE NEW EXHIBITION
BUILDING FOR 1922 FAIR.
Present Exhibit Space Utterly Inadequate and
More Room Must Be Acquired To Make
a Big Fair Here

An additional exhibition build
ing to cost $1,000 to $1,000 is
contemplated by officers and di-
rectors of the Albemarle Agri-
cultural Association and will be
proposed at a meeting Of the di-
rectors to be called at an early
date. The Elizabeth City Dis
trict Fair, held under the aus
pices of the Albemarle Agricul-
tural Association, has steadily
outgrown its exhibition space
year after year. No great inn
provement in the Fair can be ac-
complished without more build
ings in which to house exhibits.
The proposed new building
would be devoted exclusively 10
Iexhibits of farm, orchard, dairy,
kitchen and pantry products,
arts and crafts and county exhi-
bits. The present exhibition hall
underneath the big grand stand
would be devoted exclusively to
mercantile and industrial exhi-
bits. ~
The new building is needed if
the Association is to succeed in
its plans to make the Elizabeth
City District Fair truly big
and attractive annual exposition
of the social life and industry Of
Northeastern North Carolina.
Before all the counties in this
section can be made 70 take an
active interest in the Elizabeth
City Fair, they must be given
exhibition room and substantial
prizes must be offered for coun-
ty exhibits.
How eagerly the public will
take advantage of additional ex-
hibition space at the Elizabeth
City Fair was demonstrated last
fall when the new live stock
building, opened for the first
time, was filled to its capacity.
Merchants and manufacturers
who sought space at last years
fair were turned away because
there was no room for them.

STATE BUYS THE
ROBINSON ROAD
Camden Ferry Bridge at Eliza.
beth City Now Part of
State Road System

The North Carolina Highway
Commission has formally closed
the purchase Of the Camden Fer
ry Co. bridge and toll road at
Elizabeth City, paying therefor
the sum of $4,000, according to
information received by c. O.
Robinson, president of the COM
pany yesterday.
The price paid by the state is less
than half the price placed upon the
property by alr. Robinson and repre-
sents about one.fourth of all the mon
ey that has been spent by the Robinson
family in the development of this ferry
road. But neither Mr. Robinson nor
his father c. II. Robinson made any
quarrel about the price. They told the
State Highway Commission to fix their
own price and the Commission did.

bridge and road, but the two-story
frame dwelling occupied by the bridge
keeper and 70 feet of water front prop
erty on Water ST., said to be worth
$4,000 by itself.
The Camden Ferry road is now a
part of the State Highway System. A
new and modern bridge of steel and
will replace the present bridge
and the State will build a hard surface
road to replace the present dirt and
cnder road.
The selection of this road by the
State is particularly fortunate for Eliz-
lbeth City and makes the thousands of
lcres of marsh lands on the opposite
side of the river from the city available
or development for wharf, warehouse
md other industrial property.
Incidentally, VIM. A. Hart. State
Highway Commissioner for the First
Construction District, has made good
lis promise made to mass meeting
# citizens here more than three +,
months ago, promise that there /
hould be no more tolls taken from the !
ublic using the Camden Ferry Road. .

CHEAP LENSES
ARE EXPENSIVE 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
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 oS advising
on such an important subject as
lenses. Avoid trouble by consulting
reliable professional people and
taking their advice.

GOVERNOR SETS
Them GUESSING
How VIII This Ultimatum OPP.
crate In the Petition of
L. L. Winder?

Those interested in the >peti-
tionn of L. L. Winder of this
city for executive clemency are
wondering just where Mr.. Win
der stands now since Governor
Morrison announced this week
that he would grant no more
pardons where the applicants
seek to influence him through
close personal or polite |
friends.
| Governor Morrison'S closest personal
and political friend in Elizabeth City
is Hon. Walter L. CohoOn and Mr.. Co.
| hoon represents Mr.. Winder who is
asking Governor Morrison to relieve
! him of the three wears sentence i'll The
State Prison imposed upon him at the
November term of the Superior Court
in this county.
|
the activities ofs those who would cap.
atGlize political or personal friendship
came 10 climax this week. The grow
ing practice of getting the Governor
ear through members of the State ad'
Iministration who are close to him, OF
through. campaign managers in severa
of the counties, or through other per
Sopal friends, moved the Governor II
issue his ultimatum.
Il know of no other way to stop tn
practice" he said yesterday. Il jus
won't consider pardon hereafte
where the party seeking it undertake
, to influence me through close persona
or political friends. To my mind tha
is mighty close to corruption,
This, explained the Governor, doe
not apply to attorneys who in the reg
ular and orderly way appear befOr
him as regularly employed representa-
: t!ves of their clients, or to friends VIII
really know something about the cas-
} in which they are appearing, and ar
/ seeking merely to give him facts in tn
case.
Il do not propose to have campaign
run to influence me in the administra
: ton of justice" he added.
Mr., Cohoop is in Raleigh this wee
and he carries with him a strong pet
ton in behalf of Winder and affidavit
from 4 number of persons who did no
appear as witnesses in the case on tria
here in November. In sworn affidavit
the attorneys of Mr. Winder will en-
deavOr to break down the character o
the prosecuting witness in their appea
to the Governor: something they faile
to Go in the trial of the case here.
The strongest appeal for executiv
ciCmency for Mr.. Winder comes frOr
his own household. his neighbors ant
life long associates. He has an envi
able reputation as a husband in tn
home, as q neighbor and as a friend.
But the question is, will Governo
Morrison see in Mr.. Cohoon bearing
Winder's petition, an attorney appear
ing 'in regular and orderly way" O.
will he regard the employment of Mr.
Cohoon in the case as an effort to in
fuence him thru personal friend?

bees, and the Gentiles under the
Crusading leaders, fought and
won fame. Today the Moslem is
in possession, and he looks with
apprehension upon the extending
streets of the new town of Jew
ish settlers to the north, and is
ready to listen to his leaders who
wish for strife and to engage in
riots and pogroms.
But the Jewish town spreads
on the sands. The foundations of
new Garden City have been
laid; in the middle of the sand
dunes big factory is at work
turning out stones every day suf-
ficiently to build house. There
are labor headquarters, trade
unions, cooperative printing
works, carpentry shops, boot
and shoe works. Whatever labor
can do by it's own organization is
done without the intervention of
the capitalist, and if the sand on
the one hand and the Moslem on
the other give trouble, the heart
of the Zionist is buoyant. He has
left bad old world behind him
he is to be the creator of new
one.
Wherever l have gone in Pal
estine I have found that its physi
cal geography curiously blends
with it's traditions. Between Jaffa
and Jerusalem, is roughly, broad
plain and a broad area of broken
hills-the one appropriate mes
Ting place of poetry, of pleasant
and peaceful cultivation, of gen.
erous ease; the other of untamed
men, of warriors and robbers of
high romance. The one is the
Plain of Sharon, the other, the
western part of the Hills of Judea.
But as a counter action to the nat
ural aspects of the plain, it was
also a highway for armies as we'll
as caravans, and when the Tribe
of Dan was settled on Sharon, it
had to defend the approach to
Jerusalem from the west. "Dan
shall be a serpent, by the way, an
adder in the path that biteth the
horses heels so that the rider
shall fall Backward" The tribe
of Benjamin held the hills, and
of it, it has been said: "Benja
min shall ravish as a wolf in the
morning he shall devour the prey,
and at night he shall divide the
spoil"
On the Jaffa edge of the Plain
of Sharon is a finely equipped
agricultural college founded by
Baron Rothschild to promote
Jewish settlement. I found a good
