WANTS TOBUILD

w. T. Culpepper Says That is
Elizabeth City's Next Need
He's Ready

WANTED-Nine cntcrprislng
citizens to join with me in an
investment calling for a cash

with an assurance of a return
of ten per cent or more on the
actual investment and the
establishment Of an enterprise
that will help every business
in Elizabeth City. Apply to
W. T. CULPEPPER.
The foregoing is just such an ad
vertisemcnt as Mr.. Culpepper might
have inserted in this newspaper il
he had thought Of it and so heres
the ad anyway. published without
authorization but genuine never

Elizabeth City's first and fore
most need is Il hotel. says Mr.. Cul'
pepper: but we are ut work Oh that
and the hotel will bc realized
Elizabeth City'S next need is Il first
class theatre with Il seating capacity
of 1,200 to 1.jG0. says Mr.. Culpcp
per. And Billie Culpcppcr is nc
visionary: he is Il hard-headcd. con
scrvativc boy who doesn't let foo
ideas run away with him.
This is an amusement seeking
age and people must have enter
tainmcnt. With the advent Of good
roads and when almost everybody
owns an automobile Il town must
not only provide amusement for its
own population. but for an outlying
pcpulace within radius of many
miles.
a town that does not provide en-
tertainment is a dead tCwn in the
opinion of everybody and whcr
folks can't come 10 town for high
class amusement they are not com
in@ 10 trade and otherwise spend
their money in it. They will 20 it
some other town or stay ut homo
and curse their isolation.
The most popular and inexpensive
orm of entertainment is the moving
picture and the fact is that EliZ
abcth City hasn't first class NOV
ing picture theatre. The Alkrami
Theatre building is an altogether
inadequate structure and its seating
capacity is so limited that no man
ager could ever attempt TO make /;
steady showing of high class pic
lures in it. Legitimate stage pro
ductions of any size can't Use ii Il,

WE WERE SELLING CARS
Independents Circulation Campaign Brought
Toa Fair and Square Close Spite of Some
Contestants Losing Their Heads

Miss Blanche Riggs Of Eliz-
abeth City carried off the
Studebaker Sedan and Mrs.
Walter Armstrong of Sunbury
the Chevrolet touring car in
the close of THE INDEPEN-
DENTS Salesmanship CAM
paign last Saturday night. Miss
Mamie Mae Midget took the
third prize of hundred dollars
in gold; Miss Lou Williams the
fourth prize of $50 in gold.
The standing of all contcstylts
follows at the conclusion of this
article. Miss Riggs Won the Stude-
baker with Il total Of G.G11 900 votes
with Mrs. Armstrong a close second
with 5.766,300 votes. Miss Riggs
actually had 7.3S6,OO0 votes, but.
technically, 775.OO0 of her votes
didn't count: she voted them too
lote. Miss Riggs made the mistake
of throwing her biggest batch OF
votes in the ballot box after the clos
ing hour of the contest.
She probably didn't realize that
her act might be construed as one of
gross unfairness TO the other con-
testants. The judges Of the contest
were in dilemma they didn't
know just what TO do about Miss
Riggs: so they just laid aside the
77J,000 votes she had cast too late
and didn't consider them In the
first count. She got the car any
way. And she earned ii; from the
first day of the cammign to the last
Miss Riggs was the hardest and
most consistent worker; she never
let up, she was never discouraged.
she went every place for business.
The fact that some other contestant
had worked certain territory didn't
deter her: she would 90 right into
strange nicghbOrhOods behind other
contestants and get business. She
was determined to get that Studc-
baker.
