Leaking Pint
Almost Broke
Up The Court

Fermentation does not cease in
East Lake liquor when it comes
from the still; it will generate
enough gas to blow the stoutest
stopper If you don't watch it.
A pint of East Lake liquor almost
broke up an important trial in the
Superior Court In Elizabeth City
Wednesday afternoon when the
stopper blew out. The liquor be-
longed to a prominent lawyer who
had it concealed in his brief case;
and he sat his brief case in a chair
In a corner of the lawyers confer
ence room to the right of the Judges
stand
Two young members of the local
bar went into the room to smoke
their cigarettes One of them sat
on the brief case. The heat gene
rated by the parked poSterior of the
young buck lawyer enlivened the
liquCr in the bottle and out popped
the stopper. The young lawyer felt
a wetneSS in the seat of his pants;
he slyly ran his hand meath him
Self and brought it forth dripping
with liquor. Already the Odor of it
had begun to permeate the room.
The member of the local bar had
to go home and change his pants;
he had to pass thru crowded bar
and court room to get to the street
and to his home. His coat tail was
dripping wet and he was rcdolent
with the SweetiSh alcoholic fumes
of the spilled liquor. Attorney j.
c. B. EhringhauS rose on his hind
legs and shifted the air like a
charger. A wiStful look came over
the face of Attorney p. w. McMul-
Ian and his noStrileS were seen to
twitch. Attorney J. Kenyon Wilson
licked his lips. Lawyer Tom Mark
ham began to run around in cir
cles. Some one thought they saw
Judge Sinclair's ears wiggle. Every
body forgot the business of the court
and there was a sudden cessation of
business while everybody tried to
be interested in something besides
the thing they had all suddenly be-
come interested in And then the
Court settled down to work as if
nothing had happened. The young
lawyer with the wet seat sneaked
out the back door of the courthouse
and thru a back street to his home,
changed his pants.

TACTFUL TRIO
PICKED THE new
NJ. {. MINISTER

The new pastor of Elizabeth
Ciiy'S First Methodist Church,
assigned by Bishop Mouzon at the
ClOIe Of the annual Conference in
Kin>ton Sunday was hand-pirked
by Rev. J. l.. Cunningim. Rev.
J. l.. OrmOnd and Rev. +. s. Love,
former pastors of the church. and,
il he fails to suit, three of the
most popular pastors that ever
:crvcd this church will have miss
Cl their guess.
Of course. secular newspapers are
net supposed to know how Mctho-
dist ministers are picked, but even
the inside doingS of Methodist Con-
fcrcnCeS leak out and it leaks out
that the appointment of a pastor
for the Elizabeth City church was
the result of some tall mauevering
on the part of old friends of the
local congregation.
First Methodist Church has been
very happy in its assignment OF
ministers for many years past, until
last year. Last year Bishop MoAon
lifted cne of his protegcS. the Rev.
G.. T. Bond from the paStorate OF a
smaller church in Morganton. N. C..
to the pastorate of Elizabeth Citys
First Methodist Church.
Mr.. Bond thought he was coming
to a S4.5OO job, the annual salary
paid the former pastor, Rev. F. S.
Love. But when Mr.. Bond got here
he found that the stewards had cut
the salary 10 S4,250 and he di: Mt
like that. He let them know he
didn't like it, And then friction be-
gan. Mr.. Bond and the local powers
never got together Lately 1t was
announced that Mr.. Bond would be
returned to the western Confer
enCe whence ne came and First
Mcthodists did not disguise their
pleasure at the news.
But when time came for the ap-
pcintment of a new pastor to First
Methodist Church it was learned
almost too late that the Bishop had
slated Rev. Harry B. North for the
pastorate. First MethodiSts groan-
ed: Harry North is no stranger 10
them; nervous. fidgety, irritable. IN
clined to make trouble, he would not
have suited them at all. 1t was then
that old friends and powerful in
flueuces got busy. They say that
MIR. Cunninggim. Mr.. Ormond ana
Mr.. Love picked the Rev. George w.
Perry, of Burlington. N. c. as just
the man for the First MethodiSts.
Mr.. Perry is represented as an en-
tertaining preacher. a good mixer
a R.0wanian. hard worker and
GOOD politician who understands the
business of running a church and
letting the boss pewholders think
they are running it at the same
time.

USdihlS tiuit' 1hO Soubt'CS, 90
quotank and Perquimans, official
ly indorsed the plan this week.
Fasquotank County's Commission
erS indorSed the plan in a formal
resolution and will spend no omney
in improvements on the county jail
pending the working out of dis
trict plan by the counties with the
cooperation of the State Department
of Charities and Public Welfare and
the State Board of Health.
PerquimanS Countys Commission
erS adopted similar resolution. But
instead of a five county Jail and
prison farms, PerquimanS favorS
seven counties, the counties to be
taxed on the basis of their popula-
ton or the number of prisoners COM
ing from each county.
To Chairman C. A. Ownley of the
PaSquotank County Board belongs
full credit for the busineSs-like turn
the district jail movement has taken
Chairman Ownley and his board had
taken steps to spend upwards of
$4,000 in making an addition and
improvements to their county jail to
bring it within the State prison law.
Mr. OWnley was interviewed by this
newspaper and asked if q district
jail plan could be worked out. Mr..
Ownley stated that he would glad
ly do so with the sanction of the
State department heads. This news
paper communicated Chairman
Ownley's attitude to Mrs. Kate Burr
johnson, Director of Public Wei
fare. l.. G.. Whitley, State inSpec-
tor of penal institutions got on the
job, told the commissioners that
the State would mark time until the
next session of the Legislature if
they would seriously consider a dis
trlCt penal institution.
a special act of the Legislature
will be required to legalize the
building of a district Jail and prison
farm. 1t is believed that such an
institution would be self sustaining
and that its first cost would hardly
exceed the total cost of bringing the
jailS of the several counties into
conformity with the prison laws.
The law now requires every Coun-
ty TO maintain a jail with separate
quarters for white and blacks, males
and females, minors and persons
venereally diseased. That's too
much Jail for the average rural
county.
The independent. [volume] (Elizabeth City, N.C.) 1908-1936, 1929-11-08

There is nothing wrong with the
jury system" says Judge Sinclair;
"the institution is fundamentally
sound and righteous; the fault is
with it's administration" And he
laid the blame for rag-tag and bob
tail juries at the doors of the Coun-
ty Commissioners.
Says Judge Sinclair. "The jury
system is all right. I notice the
newspapers are critiCiSing it and
recommending that it be done away
with. Let the newspapers spend less
of their time in criticising the jury
system and spend more time in see
ing that it is administered strictly
according to the law"
The laws of the State charge the
county commissioners with the duty
of selecting the jury list, and the
law states that this list shall be
composed of citizens who have paid
their taxes, who are of good moral
character and who are intelligent
enough to perform the duties with
which they are charged. Most
boards of county commissioners, in
selecting the jury lists, chose their
lists from those who have paid their
taxes, no other qualifications being
considered. A moron. or an i'm
moral reprobate, who has paid his

has a tail at both ends"
Mrs. j. G. Van Story, of Edenton,
tells of her little son Jimmy enter
tanning his little friend Meredith
Jones at lunch at the Hotel Hinton
They had liver for lunch. Gee, 1
like this hotel liver" said Meredith.
"'Taint hotel liver. it's calf liver, "
said Jimmy.
The foregoing are typical. The
