THE BISHOP WOULDN'T
LET THIS MAN SAY mo"
intendency of Orphanage in
Charlotte

Rev. Geo. F. Hill, Rector of Christ
Episcopal Church of this city, has been
elected to the superintendency of the
Thompson Orphanage (EpiScopaD at
Charlotte, n. G.. The Office pays sal
airy of $1,000 a year and perquisites.
but Mr.. Hill is not sure that Ire wants
the place and his election comes as an
utter surprise to him. He was recon-
mendeG for the post by Rt. Rev. Bish-
Op Thomas c. Darst of the Eastern
y. G.. Diocese, after he had positively
assured Bishop DarSt that he didn't
care to make the change.
Mr.. Hill will go to Charlotte in a
few days and look the situation over
before finally declining to accept the
office. He was elected at the meeting
of the Board of Managers of the Or
phanage in Charlotte on Feb. Q.
Bishop Darst regards Mr.. Hill as
especially fitted for the superintendency
of the Episcopal Orphanage. Not only
is Mr.. Hill eminentTy qualified for such
a position: his wife who was Miss Lou
Shelton ZoeTIer of this city, is one of
the most enthusiastic students of child
psychology in North Carolina and was
one of the most intelligent and capable
teachers ever employed in the primary
department of the citx's public schools

COHOON & KEELING is
STYLE OF NEW FIRM

With Walter L. Cohoon In
Practice of Law.

Determined not to let his law prac-
tice go hang by reason of his office
| as General Counsel to the State High
way Commission and other outside ac-
tiyities, Walter l.. Cohoon of Elizabeth
City has taken on a law partner. The
partaer is James n. Keelin, Jr,. for

Concerning his work in this capacity
Col. John ID. LangSton, then Aide to

during the war. than you and 1t should
be a proud heritage of your children
Tor grand children, that you were one
of the main cogS in the machinery that
developed the man power of this State.
After the classification work was
completed he was transferred to Ral'
eigh to act as Chief Clerk and Execu-
tive Officer to the Adjutaut General in
the prosecution of war work in North
Carolina. While in this position he
Ihad charge of the movement of all
troops from this State. Concerning his
! efficiency in this work Provost Marshall
General Crowtler said Your activities
| in connection with the conduct of the
Selective Service System in North Car
olina were of that peculiar and efficient
character which warrants my personal
commentator of them. l am very glad
therefore. to extend to you this slight
testimonial of the high regard in which
l hold your services, both personally
and in my official capacity as Provost
Marshal General"
Since the close of the war Mr.. Keel

EVERYBODY DOESN'T KNOW
EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS
The People Of Hertford Didn't Know H. c. Sulli-
van and Are Still Guessing What He Did
With 100000 of Banks Money
Faces Prison Sentence.

Sullivan is under indictment and faces
prosecution which will probably send
him to the penitentiary. He is under
bond of $4,000 for his appearance
at the spring term of the Superior
Court in Hertford. His bond was made
up by % bondsmen giving individual
bonds in the sum of $1,000 each, no
one preferring to go on bond o
$4,000.
The Farmers Banking & Trust Co,
will not re-opeI for businessi The
hundred or more small stockholders
who held its $4,000 of capital stock
have had enough of banking. The Off
GERS of the bank. were H. c. Stokes,
president; DR.. r. W. Smith, vice-presi-
dent. and Fl. C. Sullivan, cashier. The
largest stockholders in the bank is sail
to have had only $500 of the stock
and there were a few $1,000 stock
holders.
The Hertford Banking Co. which has
taken over the business of the Farm
ers Banking & Trust Co. is a thrifty
and prosperous bank. 1t was organ
lied about % years ago and, with no
competition in it's county until few
years ago. it has accumulated surplus
of $4,000 and undivided profits of S12,-
900 on top of its $4,000 capitalization,
The officers of The Hertford Banking
Co. are T. s. White, president: l.. W,
Norman, active vice president; Geo. f.
Major. vice president: r. NJ. Riddick,
cashier; J. L. Tucker. assistant cash
! ier. The Hertford Banking Co. antici-
pates ssw era of prosperity without
competition in it's field and is sure it
can serve the banking needs OF H"rt-
ford and Perquimans County. And it
probably will be a long time before
Hertford capital has hankerins to in
vest in a new bank.
| saw H. c. Sullivan at his home
| in Hertford Wednesday afternoon. He
was courteous and affable. but refused
to talk. He even hesitated TO til me
that he was born in Kentucky. Il" s"id
that W. G. Newly or Douglas Darden
personally knew I'll about his Affairs
and might give aue facts tha. would
pat him in a more favorable light than
he now appears in. But l couldn't To-
cate Mr.. Darden and Mr.. Newly was
out of town. If they know anything
much they haven't breathed it among
| their neighbors, because / talked to
Imany of the leading men of HertfOrd
/! and all are guessing how Sullivan did
liz and what he did with the money. As
stated in the beginning, the popular
belief that everybody in a small town
knows all about his neighbOrs' dOings
! is thorOly diSprOved.

There is not the slightest doubt that
it would be universally approved and
accepted.
One of the health conditions of the
ideal city is, of course, we'll paved
streets. This does not only affect the
business interests of the city but also
it's sanitation. The surface drainage of
the streets is almost as important as
the sewage system for carrying away
impurities underneath the ground. The
city that changes from being nOt-paved
or ill-paved to being well-paved changes
also from a higher to a lower death
rate. The most up-to date sewage sys-
TEN fails in part if bad paving, or ne
paving allows the upper layers of the
earth to be saturated with poisons.
After health, and indeed with it in
many ways, ranks education in our sur
vey of the demands of the ideal city.
This civic duty we are now fulfilling
nobly. Additions to our school build
ngs. for beth white and colored chill
dren. are about to be constructed.
Our aim in this respect is to give
freely to every child, according to its
ability, and irrespective of its origin, a
full opportunity of developing whatever
powers it may be endowed with.
A movement is on foot to provide
our city with a free library. / laud
the effort and wish it every success.
However, I am of the opinion that
there is no need for publicly provided
ale-telling, cheap fiction; that the pro-
vision of the novels of the hour is ini-
mical to study of books of value and
novels that have stood the test of time.
1t is not the duty of the community to
provide amusement only, but its dtuy
in the respect of choosing books should
begin and end with art and usefulness
But however healthy a city may be
because of its open spaces. its paved
streets. and it's well planned and full
served houses, there will still be the
old need-though in diminishing pro-
Iportions-for hospital accommodation
| for the sick and sufferers from acci'
dent, and for care on behalf of the
weakly and incompetent of all ages.
am happy to state that our city has
hospital and County home capable
of taking care of such unfortunate fel
low beings.

NORTHEAST COUNTIES
MAROONED IN MUD
Bad Roads Costing the People Thous-
ands of Dollars Day

Northeastern North Carolina is ma
the heavy rains of the past few weeks
Hundreds of miles of roads in the cOun-
ties on either side of Albemarle Sound
are practically impossible. In the coun-
try districts farmers can not move their
produce to market or come to town for
their supplies and in many places coun-
try schools are working with more than
half the pupils absent.
Building operations in many places
have been suspended on account OF
weather conditions and the impassibil-
ity of roads. All work on the new build
ings for the State Normal School at
Elizabeth City was suspended this week
because material can not be moved over
the half mile of road between the city
limits and the school.
The Pasquotank Highway Commission
was appealed to more than six months
ago to anticipate just this contingency.
The Commission promised to either
hard surface the road or have it put in
condition for the winter. But the Com
mission has done neither with the re-
suit that 100000 worth of work is tied
up and scores of men out of employ
ment until Nature is kind enough to
shut off the rains and send enough
sunshine to dry up the mud.
1t costs money to build roads. 1t
costs thousands more to not build them.
The economic loss from bad roads will
pay the interest on good roads many
times over in a year.
