English Phone Books
 Bar Ads for Liquor

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Liouor adver- tisements have been barred from England's telephone books. They will be absent henceforth also from postoffice buildings and the covers of books of stamps, all of which will result in an annual loss to the Government of about $100,000 in advertising revenue.
 The Postmaster General explain ed that the new policy is based on the general rule that adver- tisements capable of giving offense to large sections of public opinion ought not to be accepted.
 The postoffice controls not only the mails, but all telephone and telegraph lines

Jones Law May Change Conditions
 in State Which are Called Farce

There were 1a. convictions out or the 129 cases, or 94.5 per cent, and only Al per cent of those convicted received Jail sentences.
 Of the 1c2 convictions, 1l5 were procured when the defendant plead cd guilty.
 These low fines and small jail sentences. said Senator Tydings, re- suit from the fact that compromises are necessary, as is indicated in the above figures. 10 avoid jury trials. If jury trials were necessary in thes,. cases. the already crowded court doCkets would become even Wors. conEestsd with little possi- bility of trial of more than a small per cent.

General Mitchell
Hunting Bear in
The Great Dismal

Brigadier General William A.
Mitchell, formerly assistant chief of
Air Service. with Mrs. Mitchell is at
South Mills. near Elizabeth City
for bear hunting The General and
Mrs. Mitchell expect to spend a
week or ten days in this vicinity,
shooting bear and deer. They are
on their private yacht.
General Mitchell is no stranger to
these parts; he is well known on
the shooting marshes of Currituck
and Dare and once in a moment of
enthusiasm he pursued and shot
ducks from the deck of a flying
airplane and was arrested by game
wardenS.
There is nothing snooty about
General Mitchell; he is virile,
cheerful. democratic chap, used to
outdoor life and roughing 1t and is
having a jolly good time looking for
bear in the Great Dismal around
South Mills. And he'll find em, if
the natives have to go out and rope
'em and bring 'em in to him.

jury if he has paid his taxes and
believes in God and the herafter.
Therein lies the trouble, according
to Judge Sinclair, who says that any
board of county commissioners that
performs its duty in such a man
ner should be indicted.
Judge Sinclair stated that he did
not believe there ever had been a
Jury in his court that was selected
strictly according to the law. And"
says Judge Sinclair, IF such jury
ever is selected, you will hear no
criticism of it,"
He declared that the reason grand
juries often failed in their duties
was that they did not know the law
and that incompetent men got into
jury boxes due to the fact that the
county commissioners do not know
the law.
The Independent said
The jury is a time hOnored in
stitution; no one knows where it
had it's inception; it was used in
England at a very early date.
Jurors were selected from the
knights or more intelligent men,

son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Griggs
of this city. has the instinct of a

family the other day, explaining
that the picture represented flowers.
But what are all those black marks

"yCu don't call tho3e marks flowers,

Those marks are manure, silly"
said Crawford scornfully; every

And so, out of the mouth of little

The Independent awards its prize

judges had hard time arriving at
a decision. 1t was by a toss of a
coin that Mr.. Lee was awarded the
prize over cute saying submitted
by Mrs. Harry Lawrence Of New
Bern.
Harry Lawrence is q dredging
contractor. On enc occasion Mrs.
Lawrence and their Scven-ycar-old
son David accompanied him on job
in one Of the big SwampS in Craven

sombre vaStneSS of the moraSS with

Provide All
Night Parking
Space In Town

Writing wrongs i'm newspaper
doesn't right them; publicity
needs to be backed by personal
action. The Independent has had
something to say about Elizabeth
City's mo all night parking" ordi-
nance.
Most travelling men to-day have
their own transportation. Since
their automobiles are out in the
weather usually so much as l6
hours a day anyway, they see no
sense in spending so cents 10 a
garage for night storage. They
don't like TO spend fifty cents
that can be saved. Elizabeth City
makes them spend that SO cent or
move on TO another town; scores Of
them have been moving on TO other
towns where cars can be parked on
the streets all night without being
tagged by the police. "
But The independents agitation
for all night parking with restric-
tions probably would have amounted
to naught if w. o. Saunders had
not appeared personally before the
City Council Monday night and
urged them to set aside one or two
blocks adjacent to hotels where all
night parking would be permitted.
Councilmen were asked to consider
the offer of the hotels to keep such
open blocks broom clean, since the
city's motorized street cleaner can't
touch street OH which cars are
parked. Council appointed a COM
mittee with Council Jerry Hughes
chairman to confer with hotel man
ayers and work out an arrange
ment for the accommodation of the
travelling public.

Aydlett Restrained
BY Superior Court

Elizabeth City can tell an Aydlett
he shall not defy the law. Judge
N. A. Sinclair, in the Superior Court
of Pasquotank County yesterday
sustained the city in its action to
restrain A. l.. Aydlett from erecting
gasoline filling station OH his resi-
dence lot, corner Main and Road SITS
Aydlett has stubbornly defied the
city. When refused a permit to
build filling station, he confidently
tore away part of his residence,
cleared a site for his filling station,
laid the cement foundations for it.
His brother z. F. Aydlett advised
him. And now he can sit on his
front porch and contemplate the
wreck he has made of his premises.
