ing Kn0bbS Greek.

The Chamber of Commerce is in
receipt of information from the dis
trict engineers that the harbor lines
of Elizabeth City will be moved in
nearer the shore all the wty around
MaChclhc'S Island. The harbOr lines
extends approximately 800 feet from

will move the lines about 800 feet in
shore.
The harbOr lines are the limits to
which wharvcs can be built out in

DIED AS HE HAD LIVED
A THOROBRED TO END

One by one the older hands who
have ruled the politics and run the
business and industry of this town are
passing on to make room for the
younger heads. The latest to give
up the fight was Charles William
Gricc. for fourteen years manager
of the Elizabeth City and Norfolk
Telephone & Telegraph Co., who died
at his home in this city early We'd
ncsday morning following an illness
of two months. He had been in
poor health for about two years.
The passing of C. w. Grice is TAX
on as genuine loss by his many
friends. He was man who loved
life, valued friendship and WAS true
to his friends. To those in his en-
ploy and associated with HIM in busi-
ness he was courteous. considcrate,
kind and helpful. And he died as he
had lived, good sport to the end.
One who was with him constantly
during his last days of illness, when
he knew that he was dying, said that
he died like IL thOrobrcd II would like
to live" he told those about him, "bIt
# it's my turn to die I'm as ready
now as / ever will be; the Lords will
be done"
c. W. Grice was 6S years old. He
was for many years manager of the
insurance firm of Culpepper, Griffin,
Old & Grice, but for the past four
teen years had given his time TO the
of the local telephone
company. Under his management the
policy of the company has beer
generally liberal and progressive ano
no public service corporation in thit
city ever enjoyed greater good will.
The funeral of the deceased will be
conducted from the residence at eleven
O'Clock this morning by Rev. G.. /.
Hill, Rector Of Christ Episcopal
Church, and by the brethren of the
Eureka Lodge of Masons: Mr.. Grice
is survived by his wife, who was Mss
Mary Kramer, and by two brothers,
Frank NJ. Grice and Henry c. Grice,
of this city.

That is will be spring before

alton Of the hard surface State
road from Elizabeth City to
Currituck c. II. was indicated
to the editor OF this newspaper
bv Commissioner Wm. A. Hart
of the First Construction Dis
trict. in an Interview in Ra-
leigh Monday night.
Mr.. Hart said that nothing could
Dc gained by letting contracts or at
tempting to pro .acd with any con-
siderable project until the weather
opens up in the spring. He rcittcrat-
ed with all emphasis however that
there would be no failure upon the
part of the Highway Commission TO
build the hard surface road to Cur
rituck c. II. just ms soon aS weather
conditions VIII permit. But Mr..
Hart is now Of the opinion that the
State will have to build this road,
even as it is building the three mile
sector from Elizabeth City across the
Camden marsh. Mr.. Hart says he
is convinced that he can not get
favorable bids from contractors for
building hard surface roads in this
low Eastern country and he is in
favor of the State doing its own work.
Mr.. Hart also made the statement
that he is goining to be candidate
for Governor in 1921, conditional up
on Josiah William Bailcy'S candidacy.
If Mr.. Bailey formally announces
his candidacy, say Mr.. Hart, Then

County Commissioners Restore
Home Demonstration Work
In Pasquotank, Monday.

In the face Of 4 storm from
the women of Pasquotank
County, many of them repre-
scntcd by petitions having
more than 80 signcrs, and
some of them appearing per-
sonally, the Board OF County
Commissioners, Monday voted
to restore home dcmOnStra-
ton work in this county after
il had been discontinued Tor a
month.
Tie commissioners n their zeal to
g.vr money fu" the taxpayers, Vot-
I'd down the county appropriation Tor
the work at the December meeting
and Immediately wall of protest
went un from all over the county.
The ready and loud diSapproval of
the action convinced the commission
crS that Their policy was too short
sighted.
Every civic organization in the city.
nHmhpr OF the pastors, and some
If the citizens were present ut the
meeting to urge the board to re-
consider it's action. Arguments in
favor of Home Demonstration work
were made By Dr.. John Saliba and
ID. Il. Morgan.
All the commissioners were pres
cnt. with the exception of w. j. f.
Spence of Newland Township. Chair
man Burfoot, whose vote broke the
tie. and abolished the work, told the

favor of the work, but had merely
voted as he had to get the sentiment
of the people.
1t was agreed to pay the December

Home Demonstration Agent. Thus
the haSty action of the commissioners

BANK DEPOSITS
TELL THE STORY
Healthy Increase In Bank De-
posts Augurs Good For
1923.

A comparison of the deposits
of Elizabeth City banks at the
close of business in 1922 with
deposits at the close of bust
ness in 1921 indicate that Eliz-
abcth City is on a sound foot
ing at the beginning Of 1928
and may proceed confidently on
the New Years business.
The First & Citizens National
Banks deposits on Dec. 81, 1921
were S2.240,000.O0. The deposits Of
this bank on Dec. 81, 1922 were
50, 2,G20,000.00, showing on their face
an increase of nearly 100000 in
what was considered an off year.
But the figures do not tell the
whole story. During the past year
the First & Citizens National absorb
cd nearly 100000 of the capital
stock of the Southern Trust Co. and
nearly quarter million dollars of
the stock of the Virginia Carolina
Joint Stock and Land Bank; that is
to say. the money that went into
these two new financial institutions
was mostly money out of the deposits
of the First e. Citizens National
Bank.
It is generally known that the First
& Citizens National earned a lively
dividend Oh its capitalization of
100000, in 1922. Stock holders got
II per cent on their stock in two
semi-annual dividends and tidy sum
was added to the banks surplus.
The Savings Bank & Trust CO.,
likewise records lively growth in
deposits. At the close of business
Dec. 80. 1921 its deposits were ST.
137,147S7. At the close of business
Dec. 80. 1922 its deposits were ST.
23S, S,345.S6, an increase of $101, 1879
for the year.
The largest increase in deposits is
shown by the Carolina Banking &
Trust Co., an increase of $602, ,303.50
over the previous year. On Dec. 30,
1921 this banks total deposits we're
only $150,703.94. On Dec. 80, 1922
its deposits were S7G2,OO7.44. Much
of this increase was normal growth,
but a lot of it comes thru the con-
Solidation and merger of the two
Tyrrell county banks and the opening
Of the branch bank of the Carolina
Banking & Trust CO., at HEREFORD.
The deposits of the two branch banks
in Columbia and Hertford help to
swell the total deposits Of the parent
bank.
The Albemarle Bank, the one negro
bank in this city and district also
comes long with a healthy growth in
deposits. It's deposits on Dec. 80,
1921 were 81, 2,3G9.0S. It's deposits on
Dec. 80, 1922 were i7,799.49, an in
crease of $5,430.41.

POLICE AND THE
CORN Mj)NCERS
Chief Holmes Says Police
Need Wider Latitude and
Less Hampering

Chief OF Police Leon Holmes
wants an amendment to the
City Charter, now that the
General Assembly is in session.
lie wants one amendment to
give the police jurisdiction.
within 4 mile Of the city linn
its. Chief Holmes also wants
a repeal of the law giving dc
PENDANTS in the Recorders 5
Court the right OK 4 trial by
jury in that CourS.
Chief Holmes SAYS that until the
jurisdiction of the police is broaden
cd hc can not begin 30 cope With
the liquor business in Eli2Girth City.
He says also that jury trials in the
Recorders Court are farce and
that it is almO>t Impossible 10 CON
Wet Il boutlcggrr who calls for jury
in that Court. Im%drmjaily the Chief
is not convinced that the police have
the support Of the Sheriff Of the
County in trying 10 suppress the Ii.
quor traffic. In fact the Chief can
not recall single instance in which
Sheriff ChaS. Reid has arrested o.
caused the arrest of any bootlcggcr
or manufacturer.
Chief Holmes says that he has
cause to believe that much of the Ii
Quor consumed IN Elizabeth City is
ohtliuablc from dealers living Just
outside the city limits. Until recent
ly the police assumed that they had.
a right to operate to the extent of
one mile beyond the city limits. But
recently Chief Holmes procured Il
. search warrant for the premises Of
Louis Thornton who runs Il diScrC-
ditcd place on Parsonage st. extend
ed. just outside the city limits. When
the Chief arrived with his warrant
he was called on the phone by +. L.
AMlett, attorney for Thornton. and
ordered not to search the place. Then
the Chief WANTED TO know the reason.
why and neither the Solicitor of the
District nor the County Prosecutor
could find anywhere in the law that
the police may search Il place any
where our Of town. Thornton'S place
went umScarChCd.
Aydlctt'S law firm seems ~ be just
too much for Chief Holmes anyway.
On one occasion recently Chief Holm
cS went to search place on Chest
nut st. and was there confronted on
