REID MAY
THROW UP JOB
Rulnor Brings Out a Flock of
Candidates For Sheriff

Persistent and general cred
tied rumorS that Chas. Reid,
for twenty-five years sheriff
Of Pasquotank County, will not
be a candidate for reelection
next year has brought a small
army Of candidates for his Of
flee into the field nearly a year
in advance of the primaries.
Probable candidates for the office
who have already been suggested are
former County Auditor thas. Car
mine: J. f.. Corbett who opposed
Reid in the last election; Jasper
Thompson. Oscar Hoffler. Walter
Hobbs and John NJ. (KiD Wilson.
Sheriff Reid declines to say finally
that he will not be candidate of re-
election lie admits that he is seri-
Ously inclined to decline another nOmi-
naticn, on account of his years and
on account of his health. Sheriff Reid
will have served 22 years as sheriff
of the county when he completes his
present term. Prior to his term as
sheriff he was for four years deputy
sheriff under the late y. &. Grandy
and did practically all of the work
of the office ut that time. He will
have been in the sheriff's Office Il
total of 26 years when he has served
out his present term.
During the past twenty years many
men have opposed Reid for sheriff
and all have gone down to defeat; his
friends have bOasted that he is un-
bcatable.

EFIRDEYES ON
ELIZABETH CITY
Would Revolutionize Mcrcan-
tile Methods in This
Burg

There is a rumor that the
Efird Brothers department
store organization is investi-
eating Elizabeth City with a
view to locating one OF its
chain stores here.
The location of an Efird Store here
would rcvolutionizc. mercantile meth
DDS in Elizabeth City, since every
thing in Elizabeth City has changed
in ten years except its stores. EIlz-
abcth City'S business district looks
about as il did ten years ago and
MANY merchants are as backward in
their methods az they were ten years
ego. The truth OF the matter is
there are not more than three or four
live merchants in Elizabeth City and
not single department store that is
Il regular and consistent advertiser
There are already thirty-three
stores in the Efird chain, scattered
all over the two CarOlinas and IN Nir-
ginia. There are Efird stores in
Charlotte. Winstom-Salcm, Green's
boro. Raleigh. Grccnvillc and many
other North Carolina towns. The
story of the development of these
stores reads like an American Maga-
zine article. Twenty years ago five
brothers were raising five cent cot
ton on an AnSon County farm. They
threw up the job and went to Char
lottc where they clcrkcd in stores,
getting salaries Of SO 10 SO a
month. Fifteen years ago they went
in business for themselves with one
small store and did business OF
500. 900 the first year. To-day their
chain of thirty-thrrc stores is dong
u business of more than Sl5.OO0.OO0.oO
wear. The secret of their success
has been in advertising. An Etlrd
store is always making noise III
the newspapers ard is always busy.

FOURTH CELEBRATION
MAINLY FOR CHILDREN

Elizabeth City's Fourth Of July
celebration this year is intended
mostly for the children and not for
the srown-upS and no special efforts
has been put forth to attract Il great
number of visitors To town. The
reason Elizabeth City is not staging
an elaborate celebration this year is
because there was some confusion
Il few weeks age. as tn whether the
celebration of the opening Of the Cam
den Road should take place on the
Fourth of July or earlier. 1t was
finally decided to hold the celebra-
tion in Camden at that time. hence
il WAS not thought advisable to stir
up big celebration here next week.

ABOUT TOILET
SALIBA TAKElT
Atmosphere Surrounding Hos
pital Seems To Be
Clearing

The atmosphere surround
ing the nearly defunct Pasquo-
tank Municipal Hospital has
considerably cleared this week
and street talk seems favorably
inclined to the proposition of
DR.. John Saliba to take back
the hospital and continue its
operation under his personal
management.
The details of DR.. Saliba's offer
were published in full in this news
paper last week. DR.. Saliba's pro-
position will be laid before a meeting
of stockholders of the hospital assO-
citation tonight and probably will be
disposed of at that time. One hears
less opposition to Saliba this week,
even most of the doctors seeming to
accept his proposition as the best
way out of losing piece Of commun-
ity business.
After all, it is pointed out, of the
eighty and odd hospitals in North
Carolina only three are owned and
operated by cities and counties. The
three so operated are Rex Hospital,
Ralciah; GoldI1 70 City Hospital,
and Winston Salem Hospital. The
latter was started with a private en-
dowment of 100000.
The James Walker Memorial Hos
pital at Wilmington and the Watts
Hospital at Durham were built and
endowed by wealthy individual citi-
zens.
All other hospitals in North Caro-
lima are operated by single doctor,
a group of doctors or Il stock COM
pany of DOCTORS; with the exception
of a few hospitals owned by denOmi-
national churches.
The continued operation of the
hospital on the present basis would
mean that individual citizens would
have to continue to dig down into their
pockets from time to time TO meet
its deficits, while the hospital would
continue to be run by first one and
then another inexperienced group OF
directors from the Chamber of Com
merce. About the only good thing
about this arrangement is that it
gives Chamber of Commerce Secre-
tary something to do and spares him
the agony of tanning the air and max
ing a lot of noise to make folks be-
lieve he is doing something.

"Indian kettlss."

The beautifully rounded and
smoothed pot holes which abound
along the rocky shores Of Lake
George, and which, biologists say.
were formed by the boring action of
hard powders driven round and round
in water eddles when the glaciers that
once covered the Adirondack region
were melting away, are called by the
country people "Indian kettles" They
think that the Indians followed out
these holes, which vary from a foot
to several feet in diameter and depth,
to cook soup in. The heat, they assert,
was produced by dropping retl-hOt
stones into the holes. While the In

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOM AND
THE BLOODY EsPINoZAs"

Back in the sixties In the Colorado
gold, camps around Pixies Peak the
warning "Thc Bloody Esplnozas ars
coming!" struck more terror to the
hearts of the mine-s than the dread
cry of Indians! Indiansl" The
Bloody Espinozas were two Mexicans.
brothers. The older. Juan Espinoza,
3elieved that he had special mission
to kill oil Americans. He ambushed
them in the daytime nd crept upon
them at night. His record Of murders
Is said to have totaled 30.
In 1869 he killed two well-knowD
prospectors Of California Gulch, near
Leadville. Their comrades vowed
vengeance on the Esplnozas, and after
long chase and hard battle, they
killed the youngest brother. Juan es.
capped and the next year he was back
In his old haunts In the Sangre' dc
Cristo mountains r0b0ing stage
coaches and wagon trains an. mur.
dering settlers and miners. He took
his nephew with him on these raids,
and they grew so bold that q reward
OF 81 500 was offered for their capture,
dead or alive.
At this time there was living at
Sort Garland little Irishman called
Rocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobln
was his real name, and he was a close
friend Of Kit Carson. He was one Of
the best mountain trailers.
When the report OF the Espinozas'
latest murder was brought to the fort
rotin Immediately volunteered to 20
after the bandits. Setting out alone,
1e took their trail and stuck with t.,
although 1t led into The widest parts
Of the Sangre de Cristos. Late one

at last Juan Espinoza rose. He
stretched both arms wide, forming with
iis body project cross and present
rig q target which loomed up plainly
;cainst the background OF sky agsow
aith the sunset. Tobin fred instantly
md the Mexican murderer fell dead
itross his camp fire. The nephew
scrambled to MS feet. The scout fired

lycpped dead.
A few days later Tobin walked Into
