FEW TOOK TROUBLE TO
SEE THE Sun IN ECLIPSE

The partial eclipse Of the sun
visible in Elizabeth City Monday
afternoon passed mnOticcd except
by IL few young folks who smoked
pieces of glass and watched the
little old moon, travelling % miles Il
minute, get in between the earth
and the sun for Il period of 100 sec
ondS. Thru q smoked glass the sun
looked to these Elizabeth City folks
like Il cheese that had been knawcd
into by Il big rat. In some other
parts of the earth the csclipse was
complete and the sun could not be
seen at all for time.
The moon was something like Il
child walking between you and your
reading lamp. The eclipse was
photographed by scientists on the
earth and from flying machines, but
only savages were agitatcd. We
don't believe as they once did, that
a dragon is eating up the sun. And
we don't think that angry gods are
warning us TO behave ourselves.
In the old days they took eclipses
so seriously that two armies. about
10. fight turned tail and went home
in hurry when tue sun began 70
disappear. 1t was ii poor ruler thar
didn't have some kind Of eciIp::

1T aint just Il matter of being
dissatisfied with married life said
the Soda Jcrkcr, who is Il wise
young guy and knows IL lot about
human nature because he caters I'LL
day long to human weaknesses.
Folks are dissatisfied with every
thing. The more you know and
the moro you see, the more you
want. Folks didn't use to see so
much or know so much and they
were happy with almost any old
thing.
but times have changed. When
Ma and Pa were married honey
moons hadn't been invented. Pa
went right on about his work pull
ing Il bell cord over Il peStle-tail
on the farm and Ma went right into

good hOuSckccpcr he had married.
Pa stuck to the pCstlc-tail and Ma
to the cook stove and the wash tub,
and if there WAS anything else in

NARROWLY MISS DEATH
IN SOMERSAULTING FORD
Currituck Man, Driving Life \ Fool
Nearly Killed Self and Wife
Near Currituck {. IL.

Dexter Forbes. IL young farmer
of Mamie. Currituck County. and
his wife miraculously escaped scri'
Gus injury when IL Ford coupe driv'
en- by Forbes at Il terrific speed left
the road Oh q curve near Currituck
e. H., turned sOmcrsault and
smashed into the woods by the side
of the road. The car was badly
smashed and both Mr.. and Mrs
Forbes were badly bruised and
shaken up.
One eyewitness says that Mrs,
Forbes had climbed out Of the cal
and was on the running board of
the machine when it left the road
which probably explains her escape
from serious injuries or death
Forbes is said to have been under
the influence of liquor, which may
explain his escape, since the Lord
is reputcd to have a special concern
for fools and drunkards.
Forbes has a reputation of being
a reckless driver and is said to have
tried to break his own record on
this occasion. He was driving Sc
fast when he passed CoinjOck, it il
said, that his wife was then crying
wringing her hands and begging him
to have a care. Near Maple about
two miles from Currituck c.. H
the Ford refused to take an easy
curve and landed in the big timber
by the side of the road after doing

EIGHT MILES OF
PILINC USED
Just One Reason Why New
High School Isn't Ready

Some interesting facts about
the stupidity and incompetence
of the bosses of the local Board
of School Trustees will likely
be revealed when the public is
finally permitted to see what
the new High School Building
on No. Road St. is going to
cost them.
1t has been known for some time
that the cost of the building Will
greatly exceed the original estimate.
This is due largely TO the fact that
the School Board insOlcntly ignored
every recommendation of school
planning experts and cmployeN
firm of architects who are special
lists in apartment house and ware
hous designing, but who don't seem
to know a thing about planning
SclOOl DullulilS'
In fact, the architects and the
school board didn't even take into
account the fact that they were
locating the new quarter million %
dollar High School on a marsh. The
plans called for fifty TO scvcnty-five
pieces of piling % to 40 feet long on
the South Line Of the building. But
when L. Il. Perry, the contractor
took the plans and laid the build
ing out, it was found that third OF
the structure was located on marsh
land and more piling was necessary.
They drove more piles and more
piles. When the piling was finally
completed, something like 1000 piles
had been driven. All Of the piles
laid end to end would make string
of logs eight miles long, or just
about the distance from Elizabetll
City to Wceksvillc. In some places
the land was, so rotten that several
piles had 10 bc driven one on top of
another to strike hardpan. Some of
the piles went down 40 and odd
feet before q foundation was OBJ
tained. And the architects who
drew the plans for the building, or
the Chairman Of the School Board
who approved their plans, neither
of. them had anticipated anything
like that.
The driving of nearly 1000 pieces
of extra piling set the job back five
or six weeks, according To thc con-
tractor, Mr.. Perry. Incidentally it
is admitted that the extra piling
cost $4,000. This $4,000 would have
gone long way OH the purchase of
additional land OH the North side
of the school, which would have
made it possible to put the school
building Oh high land where pllins
foundations would not he needed.
Mr.. Perry rescnts the suggestion
that there has been any needless de
lay in the construction Of the new
sth0Ol building. lie says the extra
piling set the job back as much as
ANYTHING else. Other delays of Il
minor nature are such rs contracs
tors everywhere encounter. Mr..
Perry points ont that NorfOlkS new
million dollar city market which
was to have been completed May !.
1923 hasn't been completed yet. The
first and second floors of the build
ing will bc completed by Oct. | says
Mr.. Perry. This will leave the
basement, auditorium and gymna'
SUM to be finished. Mr.. Perry
thinks the job will be completed 10y
Nov. /, 1923.
