WE ARE TO SEE
REAL CATHOLIC
CELEBRATl ION
General Public Is L11ited To
Dedication of New Catholic
Chapel July lst.

Catholic celebrations and
ceremonials are rare, unheard
of things here in the Northeast
ern section of North Carolina,
but Catholicism is to make its
real debut in Elizabeth City
July lst. when the Catholics
dedicate their new chapel and
school building on West Main
strect-and it will be a pomp-
Gus affair.
A number of Catholics from North
Carolina and Virginia are expected
to come to Elizabeth City for the
dedicatOry exercises. including sew
pral priests and one or two bishops.
High Mass. which is one of CathO-
liciSm'S stately ccremOnials. Is to
be celebrated by one of the visiting
priests. The Right Reverend Bish-
up IIafey. of the Diocese of Raleigh.
will preside at the dedication. anu
will preach for the occasion. He
will use the formal and impressive
Catholic dedication service in dedi-
eating the building.
The building is to cost around
$3j.0O0. but the source Of this mon
ey has not been revealed. The
building is being rapidly rushed to
completion. and will he finished
sooner than the contract called for.
At first only the chapel will he
used. hut the school will he opened
up later Although this is to he
chiefly Catholic affair. "the gem
eral public is cordially and gener-
Ously invited" says Father Gal
lagher. local Catholic priest.
Elizabeth City Catholics are few

here dates back to about the time
of the great World War when Eliza
beth City had Il considerable float
ing Catholic population in the ship

came South for his health and by
chance settled in Elizabetl City.
He offered his ministerial services
to the Catholics in Elizabeth City
and Etenton ard served them un-

been no proselyter and by his gen-
line sweetness. simplicity and gem
er0uS heart has made many friend
ships among local PrtteStants. He
has at all times refrHined from dis

faith. Bishop Hafey is persuaded
that Elizabeth City is IL town with

THESE WOMEN
GET
ON WRONG SIDE

Elizabeth City women dele
gates to national political"con-
ventions have a way of getting
in on the losing side and throw
ing their votes away. Two
weeks ago Miss Mary Meekins,
daughter of Federal Judge |.
NJ. Meekins. travelled nearly
1.50O miles from Elizabeth
City to Kansas City, at an eX-
pcnse of $3.50 or more to her
father or Snm"budy. to cast Il v"'"
for Frank \. Lowlcn in the Repuh-
lican Nati;slal Convention. This
week Mrs. James &. Fearing. OF
Elizabeth City. will travel l.'oo
miles to Houston. Tex. at an rX-
penSe of $3.50 or more to herself or
somebody. to cast half Il vote for
Cordell Hull in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
Of course it often happens that
the delegate on Il losing side has Il
material advantage ever tine dele

gates as Il rule are supposed to pay
their own expenses to Il national

RADIUM PLANT
MAKER VICTIM
Inventor Dying of Dis
ease Which Is To
Claim 5 Women

NEW YORK, June Subtitle
New York Times says today that DIR.
S. A. Won Soshocky, inventor of the
-adium paint which is said TO have
Goomed five New Jersey women to a
slow death, Is a victim OF his own
invention.
Although the doctor was reticent
to talk about himself marks of the
inroads of illness we're plainly evi
dent. His front teeth are gone and
his fingers UP to the second knuckle
are black, the result Of radium ne
crosis.
A count Of white corpuscles Of his
blood taken within the last two
months disclosed only 1000 to the
cubic millimeter, while a normal per-
son has $500 70 10000, an effect
produced BY radium poisoning among
other things.
DR.. Won Soshocky in 1920 and only
because of his ability to keep an ac-
curate scientific check on himself has
he been able TO withstand the dis
ease. Several times he has been
forced 70 80 70 higher attitudes to
~recuperate.
The doctor has frequently risked
his life in recent years to treat
friends with radium.
DIR. Won Soshocky several years
ago became an official Of the United
states Radium corporation, in whose
Plant the five New Jersey women are
said to have acquired the radium
POISON. They recently made a set
t.ement with the company for $4,000
each, a life time annuity of $500
each, n insurance for their rela-
tives when they die.

periments may be carried on in the
corn belts OF the country this season

Three engineers Of the federal de-

will remain several weeks making a
study of the rev experiments. They
brought three carloads Of equipment
with them, including trucks. and are
awaiting for the weather "a change
in order to be able TO start the work.
While there are no corn borers IN
this section to damage the crop, the
men are making the experiment here
because Valley corn is far enough

other sections is very small yet.
