REPEAL UNJUST
TAX ON LABOR
And Workers Present Gift To
Editor To Show Their
Appreciation

There was no labor diStur-
bance in Elizabeth City Mon
day night, no mass meeting OF
the working class to protest
against an unjust form of taxa
ton. The broadSide turned
loose by this newspaper last
week turned the trick.
Fastening to Elizabeth City from
Nags Head where he has been hav-
Ing little vacation. Mayor Flora
called the City Council together i'll
special session and the new city
license tax on carpenters. painters
and brick masonS was repealed last
Friday afternoon. 1t was against
, this tax that Elizabeth City labor
planned to meet in protest Monday
night. But the thunder OF this
newspaper reached the City Council
first.
Before the Council met. Council
man D. Ray Kramer Of the Second
Ward came out in another news
paper and tried to say that the new
license taxes applied only to boss
carpenters. painters and maSons
and not to journeymen. But Alder
man Kramer's explanation was
lame. The law was plain enough
and no one knew better than Mr..
Kramer that the city had purposely
imposed a license tax on these work
ers Mr.. Kramer was chairman OF
the ordinance committee. He knew.
And ne also knew that no license
/ fax had been imposed Oh electrical
! workers. Mr.. Kramer is an electrl-
clan.
And 50 the Aldermen reScihdeo
the ordinances imposing license
t.x ON carpenterS, painters anu
brick maSOnS.

NEW STORY OF ABE LINCOLN
WINS $4,000 PRIZE FOR
WOMAN WHOSE PRE-
SENT ADDRESS is
UNKNOWN

New York. Dec. 8.-The iarg-
est award ever offered for a pure
ly literary composition, q cash
prize of $4,000, will be handed
to Miss Katherine Holland Brown
Of Quincy, Illinois, as soon as she
can be found.
She is at present travelling
somewhere in the South, and the
only mailing address she left be-
hind was General Delivery" at
Orlando, Fla, a point she is ex-
pected to reach sometime in the
course of the next few days.
The prize, offered by The Wo
mans Home Companion and tht
John Day Company, publishers, il
awarded to her for 10000 wore
novel of ante-Civil War Days en-
titled "The Father" ;, which wa
adjudged the best. of 1891 manu-
scripts submitted by authors fror
every state in the Union and sey
era1 foreign countries.

Her prize novel, "The Father

father was printer and a vio-
lent opponent of slavery. One of
the characters in the novel is an
obscure local lawyer who was a
close friend Of the family, but
who was more favorable to the
institution of slavery than the
rabid old printer. So they quar-
relied continually, Lawyer Abra

tive ground in defense of slavery
while the printer endeavored tc
win him over to the abolitionis1
cause.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN
SOLUTiO N

Washington, Dec. 8. - Now
that the National Press Service,
the official propaganda organ OF
the Republican National Com
mittee, is continuing to send out
each week hundreds of words to |
aid in the Coolidge drafting move
ment, the situation with respect
to President Coolidge's candidacy
for a third term has developed
into q more hopeless muddle than
it ever was.
Two of the more noticeable eff
fects of it all are that the legion
Of "wise boys" claiming to know
that he would NOT run has been
very appreciably reduced, and
the already existing breach be-
tween the President and the more
prominent candidates and their
backers has been considerably
widened.
If there is any class any more
upset over all the uncertainty
than the candidates it is the Of
flee holders. There never was
such a game of "Follow the
7 Leader, all sorts of would-be
leaders with the followers, old
r hands at it too, uncertain as tc
just how to play the game.
i Meanwhile, the belief is grow
ing here that there might be
something after all to the otter
: heard allegation, after the 81 de
not choose" statement was frs
. made, that it was put out as
feeler to see how the land la!
and to pave the way for pos
sible great drafting movement
Why else would the Republican
Committee be spending SO much
time and money furthering the
s draft unless it would be to try tt
center the public's attention or
this and away from the battle Of
candidates and issues now rag
ing? Why, also, all these report
ed conferences between the lead
ing candidates and the resulting
reports that they are giving way

HATCHERY BUYS
HIGH PRODUCTION
WHITE LEGHORNS

The Gallatin Chick hatchery recent
lv received a shipment of 125 prOduc-
ton bred White LeghOrn male birds
from the Brown and Mann poultry
farm, Seattle, to mate with choice
White LeghOrn flocks. This is an
effort to improve the egg production
quality of Montana poultry and
should have a lasting effect on the
egg production from Leghorn flocks
in The near future. Every bird in the
shipment is from traD-nested hens
having a record of $50 eggs or better
on both the dam and sire side for
three generations.
The cockrels were bred by the
Brown and Mann poultry farm, one
of the largest egg production breed
ers on the Paci1ic coast. The pen
sisters to these birds have made phen-
omenal egg laying records In contests.
In addition TO the high records IN
many states, they won the first Leigh
orn pen at the state egg laying con-
test in Puyallup, Wash, which is con-
sidered the fastest contest in the
world because it is located in the
midst of the highest egg production
breeding flocks.
The cockrels introduced by the Gal
latin Chick hatchery are out of the
same pens as the contest winners.
Poultrymen agree that egg production
is transmitted mainly through the
sire. so the offspring of hens mated
to these cOckrels should become high
production hens. The purchase was
made by Walter L. Meckenburg,
manager of the hatchery, after per-
sonal inspection of the Brown and
Mann poultry farm and it's breeding
methods. This shipment of the best
in production birds is in keeping with
the policy of the hatchery to develop
egg laying ability in the flocks of
