An Ohio concern will give PaSquo-

To see if Il mill could operate success

City Chamber of Commerce has re-
ccivrd letter from this oil concern
with a request for samples of the

The concern is one in Il section that
has been getting Il great many soy
beans from Manchuria. The results
obtained from the ASiatic beans have
not been satisfactory. This means
that more attention is being paid to
the beans from this section. all Of
which promises to increase tn" do

COULDN'T LIVE ON A
BREAD AND MILK DIET
Sad Death of Bright Currituck Boy
Who Preferred Simple Diet.

Malnutrition is believed to have
caused the death of Mcltay Mllndcn,
thirteen wear old son of Mrs. i. W.
WRIGHT. Of .Aydlctt. Currituck Coun-
ty. who died last Friday night after
an illness of three weeks. Young
NIuudcn was one os the brightest and
most interesting boys of his years III
Currituck. When he was born he
was looked upon as Il model baoy and
his parcnts took infinite precautions
to safeguard his health and direct
his diet. In babyhood he was con-
fined TO a diet of milk and bread and
denied sweets. vegetables and fruits.
Later. as the child grew and the par
cnts thought it safe to vary his diet,
it developed that the boy had no ap-
nctitc for other food than bread ana
milk. except for milk chocolate. But
the child continued to apparently
thrive on bread. milk and chocolate
until about year ago when his
health began to fail. Ills father yas
Ernest NIundcn deceased, his mother
having married Mr.. Wright only a
few months ago.

SENATOR WILLIAMS is
TOLD KHAN is HERE
Got Information in Raleigh That
KIuckers Are Thick in This
City.

Elizabeth City has Il formidable or
gani2ation Of Ku klux Klan, if in
formation given to Senator =. Ii.
Williams in Raleigh is to be believed.
Senator Williams dropped remark
while in Raleigh to the effect that We
had no Ku Klux Klan in Elizabeth
City. "Yon' are mistaken" replied
a prominent man in his. presence |;
There is a considerable number of
members of the Kaln in Elizabeth
City; you just don't happen to know
them"
The prominent North Carolinian
who gave Senator Williams this in
formation said that he was not a
members of the klan in Elizabeth
in position to know what he was
talking about. Kluckers never do
reveal their identity, all of them be-
ing sworn to lie like dogs about their
membership in the organization.
Senator Williams may or may not
have been impressed by being told
that the woods in his district are full
of Kluckcrs. ANYWAY, he did not vote
for the bill to unmask the klan in
North Carolina. There may be con-
siderable number of Kluckers in Ellz-
abcth City. but so for they have
worn their night shirts in the con-
fines of their own" homes-if indeed
they ever wore night shirts at all.

COLONIZATION SCHEME
is BLOCKED BY LAW
No italian Colonsts Will Be Allow
to Come to North Carolina Soon.

The big Italian colonization scheme
planned last fall for PcrQuimans and
Currituck Counties has dwindlcd
AWAY TO nothinSncsS, and il, spite OF
the efforts of the Carolina Real Es-
tate Company of this city. and Orcsta
Pappano. promoter and engineer OF
PENNSYLVANIA. il looks as if the laws
of the country will not permit it to
come to life.
Under the immigration laws of the
United States only three per cent
of the population of any one coun-
try by the Census of 1890? can come
to this country in any one year, which
means that only 42.057 Italians could
enter the United States last year.
The entire quota allowed to come III
during 1922 had arrived before Au-
tumn. it is said.
Even more drastic immigration
laws have been approved by the
House Committee OH Immigration,
which would reduce the number of
Immigration in any one year to two
per cent of the population at the
1900 Census.
The law does not allow anOyOnc to
r....l Recommendation IN in,miurDOtc =
to supply the ranks of common labor,
it is said. and this further hinders
colonization schemes. The big steel
mills up north have cndcavored to
import the cheap italian labor. and
this law and the limited quota allow
cd in this country, has dcbarred the
mills from carrying out their plans.
This country will allow transpOrta-
ton TO be furnished only to the high
ly skilled Italians.
The Italian government is not anXl-
Gus to have its farmers leave their
native country. There are many
Italian restrictions to handicap the
colonization scheme, it appears. With
the passage of law in this country.
reducing the quota to two per cent OF
the population in 1900, only 3,912
Italians could come TO this country.
and thus death to new colonization
