PENNSYLVANIA TALK
HAS REAL FOUNDATION
Elizabeth City May Presently Find
Itself on Main Line of A Great
System

Rumors that the Pennsylvania X.
X. System conteInplateS taking over
the Norfolk Southern X. r. are TAX
en- seriously by Norfolk real estate
men who know something about the
PcnnSylvania's plans. 1t is a fact
that the Pennsylvania has purchased
1000 acres for terminal sites at Lit
tie Creek near Cape Henry. Va, and
has elaborate plans for barging its
trains from Cape Charles to Cape
Henry and running its trains direct
into Norfolk, instead of fcrrying
everything from Cape Charles to
Norfolk harbor as at present.
PENNSYLVANIA freight does not go
into Norfolk at all now, but is un-
loaded at Primers Point where it is
distributed over the Norfolk Belt Line
II. Il. With its TERMINALS at Cape
Henry the Pennsylvania will not only
have shortened the time between Cape
Charles and Norfolk, but will put its
trains right into Norfolk. To ac
accomplish this, the Norfolk South
crn II. II. trackagc and rights of way
from Cape Henry into Norfolk are
necessary to the Pennsylvania, it is
pointed out. It is also said that, once
having successfully conquered the
water gap between Cape Charles and
the Virginia mainland. the Pennsyl-
vania contemplatcS running thru
trains from News York to points
South. Here again the acquisition
of the entire Norfolk Southern sys-
TEN would be desirable to the Penn
sylvania. Elizabeth City may wake
up some morning and find itself on
the main line of great railway sys-
TEN.

COMMISSIONER HART
THROWS UP HIS HANDS
State Highway Commissioner Has Discovered
That He Can't Please Everybody and
1t Makes Him Sick

State Highway Commission
er VIM. A. Hart, representing
the First Construction Dis
trict. is sick man. He has
discovered that when it comes
to pleasing everybody in the
location of public roads. that
it can't be done; and Mr.. Hart
is a type of man who has al
ways aspired to skin thru lie
being nice to everybody and on
good terms with everybody.
Mr.. Hart was in Elizabeth City
yesterday to hear contcnding fac
tions from Camden County in the
matter of the location of State High
way Project No. III. This project
is continuation of the Camden
Ferry Road. Surveys for this project
showed that the length of the road
could be shortened and the cost of
construction lowered more than $50
COO by abandoning the present lines
of the road and going via Belcross.
But when prominent land owners
a long the old route via Run Swamp
and Hastings Corner offered 10 chip
in $4,000 to have the road go that
way. Commissioner Hart ordered the
road routed that way.
Now the Belcross folks are up in
arms and the construction of the road
has been held up TO give them time
to marshall their forces and urge
their claims. Mr.. Hart came to Eliz-
abeth City yesterday to hear some
arguments. He especially requested
that he be met by not more than six
men representing each of the routes
i'm question. Instead of facing nice
little group of a dozen to talk things
over with. Mr.. Hart was confronted
by a crowd overflowing the assembly
rooms in the Chamber of Commerce.
In a week voice he told them. in 20
many words. that it was all too much
for him and that he is going 10 pass
the buck to the State Highway Conn
mission. The decision "f the State
Highway Commission will be final,
whatever it may be and whenever it
is made.
Efforts to have Mr.. Hart buck up
and settled the controversy here with
out an appeal TO the State Highway
body were being made rs thi; news

$4,000 FROM A
CABBAGE
And $4,000 of This Was Pro-
fit From IL Acres Of Cam
den Land

The gross receipts from a
cabbage patch OF II acres Cul-
tivatcd hv Herman Newbern
of Camden County is 10000.
Mr.. Ncwbcrn has just finished
harvesting his crop and csti-
mates his profit at $1,000, and
all made between March q,
and july |, with still time to
plant another profitable crop
on the land.
Mr.. Ncwbcrn got 1000 crates of
cabbage from those II acres, and
says, he believes his yield was cut
down ~ '"tst 80 per cent on account
"f dry weather. Ills cabbage patch
was located on sections of dark and
gray soil, aud he says the dark soil
did best. II waS a little heavier and
consequently more moist. The land
WAS just pretty fair land,' says Mr..
Ncwbcrn.
Mr.. Ncwbcrn put $500 worth Of
fertilizer under his cabhagcS. lie
finished planting on March -. and
began cutting on May 81. The entire
crop WAS marketed in Norfolk, and
on top of the biz rush from other
truck growing sections farther south.
But The North Carolina cabbascS
went because they had the size and
the appearance TO make them 90.
Those II acres are already to be
planted in another crop. Mr.. New
bern will have his choice of planting
soy beans ar late sweet potatoes with
out having to fcriili&c the ground
again this year. And by the use of Il
little fertilizer. he can use it this
fall for Irish potatoes or May peas.
