EARLY PEA MOVEMENT

Farmers Will Start Heavy
Shipments Next Week

The May pea market is holding
up well and about six cars i'll all
will be shipped out by the end OF
the week. Prices quoted Thursday
on the northern markets for good
quality Peas ranged from $LJO to
$500. according t6NS. q. Scott, OF
the Brock Il Scott Produce Com
pany. Actual sales OH peas of poor
quality from other sections ran as
high US $3.50.
The pea crop i'll this section, is
considered Of better quality than
that of any other section, according
10 y. Howard Smith, well-known
broker. Mr.. Smith declares that
our stock is far superior to any that
have been shipped from Florida or

couraging to the growers in this
section.
Elizabeth City dealers are making
special preparations to handle the
crop, which will begin moving rapid
ly next week, and continue for
nearly Il month. The height of the
pea movement will be reached in

TALKING new
COURT HOUSE
Joint Courthouse and Jail For
City and County Being
Discussed

The removal of q. l.. Nc
Phcrson, !. Z. Mcpherson and
IT. w. Rhodes from the Pasquo-
tank County Jail last week on
the ground that the Jail is un-
sanitary. and infested with YER
min, has revived talk Of the
need Of a new courthouse, and
many advocates for a joint
structure for city and county,
arc to be found.
Pasquotank County's courthouse
built 4J years ago, has long since
been Outgrown; the city has no
courthouse whatever. The County
has not office for either the Super
inlcndcnt Of Schools, the County
Welfare Officer, the County Home
Demonstration Agent, and quarters
for these officers arc rented about
town.
Elizabeth City has 10 office for
the Police force, the Tax Collector,
the City Manager, the City Auditor,
the Utility Commission, and IS
obliged 10 rent quarters for these
officers. There are no quarters for
County Court, and the offices of the
various county officers in the court
house are insufficient in size.
1t is pointed out Il building hous-
ing all Office of city and county
would work to the accommodation
of the people. For instance tax
payer after paying his taxes in the
Shcrin's Office. could step across the
hall aud pay his city taxes.
When the McPhersOns, under ad-
vice from their attorney decided
to ask for Jail privileges, which are
allowed all Federal prisoners, they
got into more than they expected.
Judge |. VI. Mcckins, after reading
the plea of the prisoners, showed
his keen sense of humor, by finding
the facts as represented, and i'm
mediatcly ordered the removal OF
the prisoners TO the Johnston Coun-
!, Is Jail at Smithficld.
Despite the fact that DR.. {. B..
Williams has been giving the jail
clean bill of health every month,
attorneys for the McPhrrSonS, got
certificates from DR.. Williams and
DR.. Howard J. Combs, certifying
, that the Jail was OvCrCrowdcd, and
with insufficient breathing space,
WAS not Il proper place for The re-
trntiOn Of prisoners. Judge MccklnS
found from the reports that, the jail
is insamitary and contains infecti-
Gus germs incident to certain pbysl-
cal diseases. and is also infested
with lOathsome vermin.
Dr.Claude Williams, again report
img to the County Commissioners,
and Mrs. Anna Lewis, County Wei
fare officer, gave the Jail a clean bill
this week. And 50 Chairman Love
asks GLOW can we correct an evil
when our county physician says
no evil cXistS:'
DR.. Williams tells this newspaper
that his report on Mcpherson set
forth only the fact that the Jail
was OvercrOWlcd.
