PLANALOCAL
CANNING PLANT
Two Canning Men Will Dis
cuss Their Plans, at Meet
ing Friday Night

The prospect Of building a
canning factory in Elizabeth
CITY is considered seriously at
last b. two practical canning
plant men, and 4 meeting OF the
Chamber Of Commerce Is call
ed for I 80. Friday evening in
the Community Building. y
site for the proposed plant Is
under consideration. and the
promoters plan to take up two
thirds of the capital stock. The
remainder will be sold locally.
The men promoting the venture
are \. W. Midget of this city ANA
Elisha W. Truitt of Snnwdcn. MI.
Midget alrcndy owns excellent
canning equipment at Roanoke Is
land where he has been packing fish
for several years. In looking about
for field for his plant. whci"
there are greater agricultural ulr
prrtunitirS. he hit upon Elizabeth
city. just at the time when MI.
Truitt was also planning to III
tcrrSt local people in the possible
tie, uf a plant to handle fruits ANA
vegetables in this city.
Mr.. Truitt. who AT the present
time l. agent for the Norfolk South
rrn Railroad In Snuwlcn, was form
crly in the canning business In Sails
bury. Maryland. Caught with n
number Of wartime contracts, hnd
being i'm i'll health at the time. he
was obliged tu sell on his Interests.
while he went away for his hrhllh.
When hr recovered. he went back Ia
his old job of ruilrOnding. Two
years ago hc proposed the erection
uf u factory at Snowdcn, Int met
with little encouragement there ana
the project was abandoned.
After several years experience III
the canning business. both men are
convinced that Elizabeth City offers
the logical field for II plant that
may. pack II combination, of sea
foods and vegetables. Already they
have inquiries for many carloads of
snap beans. sweet potato pulp
and other vegetables. AMI say the
only question j. one Of farm pro-
ductiun. That il. If the farmers
will produce the stun, they claim
they can handle II. AMI they con
slider the opportunities for diStri'
button thru Elizabeth city whole
Snlrrs. all that could he desired.
Mr.. Midget says he can pack
herring roe In Elizabeth city by
cutting the herringS at small plants
on the sound points and shipping
the roe on lee 10y boats to the main
plant at this city. Herring roe Is
perhaps IN greater demand than ANY
sea food product, nnd North Caro-
lima roe has an established rcpu-
tntiom for quality and flavor that Is
not cclip>rd hy the roe of any other
section.

Elsie Cooper Wins
Contest
Five Dollar Gold Piece and Candy
Awards in Picking Contest.

Elsie Cooper won the contest
among the post-office employees
Tor neatness and accuracy.
When all the returns were finally
sathered in last Friday afternoon,
and the last inspection of the alleys
was completed, Miss Cooper was
found to be tied for first place for
neatness, and second for accuracy,
which gave her the best combined
score. The prize was a box of candy,
to which was attached a greeting
card in an envelope with a FIVE
dollar gold piece.
The contest covered a period of
two weeks, and competition was very
keen, particularly toward the end.
The judges had increasingly greater
difficulty in selecting the neatest
alleys, vigorous welding of the shell
lac brush being the determining fac
tor, between the winner and Mar
garet Ennis, who came in second.
The judges were w. f. Crowley,
G. P. Loomis, and X. B. White. The
prizes were awarded by the latter,
who expressed qualification at the
improvement in the appearance of
the department and in the interest
shown by the competitors He pro-
missed more contests of similar ma
ture in the near future.

ESSEX BREAKS PLEDGE
New Muffler Insufficient Bride.

Those of our readers who have
been following with interest Mr..
Bommer's efforts to cause his Es-
sex to give up the bad habit of
smoking, will regret to learn that
they have met with only negative
success.
With the approaching Easter sea-
son, Mr.. BONNER felt that nice
bright sidney new muffler to wear
to church on Easter Sunday might
bride it into submission. The work
manship of the muffler selected, or
its style, or something, failed to
appeal with the result that the
offending machine spent most of the
week in Trenton taking Kelly
Cure of some sort.
1t is rumored that if this fails
two of our most eminent reformers,
Charlie Price and Neal Horne will
be pressed into service.
