MARKS END OF FAMILY
BURYING GROUND NOW
Beautiful Cemetery Development
Underway Here Will BE OBJ
served with Great Interest

Not even in solving the problem
of new cemetery is Elizabeth City
to he uutdone in its march of pro
glrSS. for Il new development nov
underway on Il 1T-acre tract adja
cent to Hollywood Cemetery vii
give Elizabeth City parklike bury
iny ground that will he as beautiful
aS anything south of Baltimore, and
the only molernly planned city Of
the dead in eastern North Carolina.
Little has been said about New
Hollywood Cemetery, but it now is
being developed. The grounds have
been laid ont by landscape archi-
trct, and preparations are being
made for an imposing entrance Of
granite. a sprinkling system will
he installed. tile drains are being
iais walks and drivewayS laid out,
plots built up preparatory to seed
ing. and the general plan of the
Cemetery has taken shape and will
continue at an outlay of many thou
sand dollars. The tract was form
>crly owned by Milton Sample, and
is Just across Peartee Road, from
Hollywood Cemetery.
Opening up of New Hollywood
Cemetery is calculated to go long
way toward ending the family bury
ing ground. The perpetual care
plan Of this modern cemetery, is at
tracing many Of the most promin-
ent citizens of this section, who
prefer to he laid to rest where their
graves will be taken care of and
protected for all time.
The incOrporators Of the new ven
tUrc are: w. G. Gather, president,
+. II. Xrigler. vice-president, NJ. ii.
Jones. treasurer. and c. II. Pugh,
secretary. While the lots have not
been offered for sale, many have
been sold to people who have heard
Of the plan, and want an early
choice.
The Cemetery owners have offered
Il prominent site in the front of its
cemetery for the interment Of the
body of Seth L. Perry, PasquOtank's s
first World War hero, who is
buried on the Courthouse lawn. A
movement has been launched to
erect Il World War Memorial over
Pcrry'S grave, and sentiment have
been recently agitated in favor of
moving the body to larger area.
4 meeting of various civic organi-
cations, headed by ]. Kenyon Will
son. to take advantage of the $500
appropriation made by the County
Commissioners for this memorial,
and raise more funds for il, was
scheduled for Thursday night in
the Chamber CT Commerce rooms.

NOTHING TO POLITICS BUT HoNORS.

luSt gUt the idea that yOu can
grt Il living without work; it
can't bc done. and politics is the
same way. Politics is like Il Christ
mas Saving Club, before yOu can get
something rut of politics. y0u V"
got to put something i'll IL Yourself
and put it in for Il long time. Thr
fellow who gets most out of politics
il the fellow who puts most in il.
Now you may think some fellow
who is enjoying biz political plum
has it soft. Iou only see the plum
but YOU don't see the years of hard
work he put in for his party. or his
political friends. many times work
ing TO the neglect of his own bust
ness, and often at his own expense.
He may not have been Il politician
himself. for II" was working for
somebody who was. You can net he
was taking his turn, and working
! his level best for somebody who had
done the same and was going after
the things higher up
You mean would have To get
ont and work for some other fellow
who wanted the job. year after year
what if he lost. and the fellow !
opposed wont out: asked the Soda
Jcrkcr.
That's the element Of risk you
run in everything. said the Bank
Clerk. Politics is just Il business
Your work, and yOnr time and
your influence are just capital i'll
vested. You may win and get some,
thing back for il. after you have
built up the business. or you may
lose your capital. You get experience
anyway. and you have to have that
to learn judgement. You may have
to invest again. maybe you VIII
maybe you don't. Just like any
other job. you get ont about what
you put in it. and there's more ot Il
gamblers chance in politics, because
human nature is 50 uncertain.
You'll notice that most fellows who
fellow the game all their lives, just
about brea.i even. The only thing
they have ahead Of the game is the
honors. if that is worth anything
IIcnorS are worth something to your
descendants, to look back on with
pridr.'

ED. CONGER BREAKS OUT
IN THE PUBLIC EYE NOW
Chamber Commerce HOnOrs Him
With Its Presidency; Replaces
Nj. Leigh Sheep, a TwO-Termer

Every expectation that the Eliz-
abeth City Chamber Of Commerce,
would continue with the same loyal
cooperation and enthusiasm i'll the
coming year. as during the last
tw Oyears, seems to be borne out
by the election of f. G. Conger as
president fer the ensuing year.
1t cannot be said that Mr.. Conger
has been Il man inclined To get in
the public eye, but his sound husi-
ness Judgment, his loyal support OF
community enterprises, and his keen
interest in the progress of this sec
ton have won him high place in
the esteem of his associates, and
unSelfiSh citizens of the community
have long had their eyes on him
for bigger things.
Thus it is that the election or
Mr.. Conger to step in the shoes OF
NJ. Leigh Sheep, is regarded as u
distinct honor at this time by reaS-
oil OF the splendid achievement of
the organization during the past two
years under Mr.. Sleeps leadership
and his able associates.
The directors are still delighted
with pep and efficiency Of Secretary
job. and he was reelected for his
sixth year. Other officers elected
are, J. W. Foreman, first vice-preSi-
dent: :. Ii. Johnson. second vice
president: NJ. II. Jones, treasurer.
Mr. .Jones was reelected. and MeSSrS
Foreman and Johnson succeed DR..

CAMDEN POLITICIANS
FIGHT CONSOLIDATION
Scheme to Annex Camden to Pas
quotank May Have Hard Sled
ding iii June

PaSQuOtank may not have any
thing to do with settling the QueS-
ton of anncXing Camden, if the
work of Camden politicians. who do
not want their offices wiped out, and
citizens who want to preserve the
identity of their county, are sue
cessful when the measure comes be-
fore the voters of Camden OH June
)
The Camden commissioners
brought up the question at its last
meeting, and decided to put it be-
fore the people. Senator =. II.
Williams of Elizabeth City who was
formerly accredited with starting
the movement two years ago, dis
claims any knowledge Of this rec
ent move, and says he never heard
of il until after the subject was dis
posed of by the commissioners last
week. Senator Williams says the
annexation of Camden might mean
the increase Of PaSQuOtank'S inter
est rates for a short period, but
the increase in values in Camden
that follow would offset this. He
cites as example of what new roads
might do for that county, the i'm
proved roads to Weeksville section
where land identical in type, is
double in value.
In the event Of a favorable vote
by the people Of Camden, PasquO-
tank would not accept the anncxa-
ton unless a bill was passed by its
Representatives in the legislature.
Senator Williams says as matters
now stand, he thinks it ought to be
put to a vote of the people, unless
sentiment should become Overwhelm-
ingly in favor of settlement of the
issue by Legislative enactment.
