HE always canvaSsed every conceiv-

II regard him as the greatest
original thinker on economic subjects
that this world has ever produced.
It was he who first foresaW the age
OF trusts, which was bound to be
brought on when science began to
develop the mechanical and electri-
cal power for our past SO years Of

CONGRESSMAN Eaton entered the
Baptist ministry in 1892 at Natick,
Mass. Later he preached In Toronto
and was sociological editor OF the
Toronto Globe. After his Cleveland
pastorate he served ten years at the
Madison Avenue church In New York
and in 1919 became editor of Leslie's
Weekly for awhile. During these
years he had been interested In So
Geological problems and he decided
that the worlds biggest problem was
the abolition of poverty and afford
ing an opportunity TO all men for
economic freedom.
In 1917. when the Germans were
sinking ships altogether too rapidly.
he was called on to head the national
service section of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation and Travelled over the
country increasing ship production by
building up the patriotic morale of
shipyard workers.
After that he turned his back on
the pulpit and applied his philosophy
to employee relations for Eastman
Kodak, Bethlehem Steel. the PENN
sylvania railroad and the General
Electric. which he now represents.
He is editor of Light" the General
Electric magazine, and is sometimes
called 1.-The General Electric congress-
man."
II finally went into politics in 1924
because I was afraid Of the La Fol-
lette movement" he says. II thought
it might put the government in bust
ness. In Congress regard myself as
still in the ministry. My objective is
to increase the share of the masses
OF men in the good things of life"

and an industrial relations expert, has
q nephew coming to congress. The
nephew Is william r. Eaton Of Den
yer, who defeated Democratic in
cumbent last November.
Uncle Charlie Is not planning to
load up little Willie with avuncular
advice because little Willie Is only q
few years younger than Uncle Char
lie, who is 60. Also because little
Willie has had legislative, political
and legal experience, which Is more
than Uncle Charlie had when he
came here four years ago.
Nevertheless, 1t was Uncle Charlie
who persuaded the young man years
ago to go to college and study law
and later to enter the public service
and only after q visit to Uncle Char
lie here last year did William decide
to run for congress.

Charlie recalls. II decided to keep
perfectly still and just watch and
listen. It was three months before
I opened my mouth OH the floor and
after four years realize that I'm only
. beginner.
Which is pretty good advice for
new congressman. Whenever one OF
them has an exaggerated idea OF his
own Importance the elderly boil
weevils Of the House delight In knit
ing him as often as they get q
chance. so 1t doesn't pay.

golfed in the morning and argued in
the evening. He had one Of the most

were crowding each other and talk

NOBODY LOST IN
.THIS$l7,0OO.00
DEFALCATlON!

! The late Herman w. Ward,
former assistant caGhicr of the
/ Citizens Bank of Edenton, and
treasurer of Chowan County is
/ alleged to have made away with
$4,000 and the bank and the
county are at law this week. each
charging that Ward stole the
money from the other. Neither
admits losing a dollar by him. p
Ward was killed in an automobile
accident winter before last. Driv-
ing home from a quail hunt, going
like the wind. he lost control OF his
car. it was wrecked and he was
nearly decapitated when his head
went thru the windshield. After his
death a shortage in his accounts
was discovered, but the matter was
hushed up. 1t does a bank no good
to have news get Cut that a dead
cashier had left a shortage.
| But the matter had to out. The
bank insisted that the missing funds
had been taken out of the funds OF
ChCwan County for which Ward
was treasurer. The County Com
miSsionerS charge that the bank
where it's funds we're deposited, is
responsible for the shortage.
| If it is decided that the shortage
is in his accounts as county treas
urcr. then the loser will be the
MARYLAND Casualty Co., which bond
ed him to the extent of S25,OO0.
| If it is decided that the defalca-
tions occurred in his accounts at
the bank, then the Southern Casual
tv Co., which bonded him as a
banker in ihe sum of $4,000 must
bear that much of the loss, and the
bank the rest.
Eminent counsel are engaged on
both sides. Counsel for the Mary
land Casualty Co., is Judge J. S
Manning, former state supreme
court Justice, former attorney gene
raj of the state. Counsel for the
county: w. D. Prudcn Of Edenton,
and P. w. McMullen, of Elizabeth
City; Counsel for the Citizens Bank,
w. S. Privott. of EdentOn and E. F.

Has some one paved you agaln
this WeCk?' asked tho Soda JerKer
as the Bank Clerk approached with
a glum and hopeless look on MS
face.
NO" said the Bank Clerk, but
I have had an awful Wallopln9; all
the money that l had saved in i've
wears was wiped out last week when
call money in New York went up 10
I2O per cent"
What is this call money l hear
50 much talk about?" asked the
Soda Jerkcr.
1T is money loaned on call or on
what you might call payable on de-
mand. 1t is the money that New
York stock and bond brokers use IN
carrying investments for their GUS
toners.
Most folks who buy stocks ana
bonds on the New York stock eX-
change don't buy outright. They
pay their broker one third cash ana
he trusts them for the balance
stipulating that if the stosk goes
down they must cover the shortage
or sacrifice their stock. And the
broker charges not the six per cent
legal rate of interest on the balance
owing on their stock, but the call
rate.
when the call rate went TO 20
per cent last week there were thou
sands Of little fools like myself who
had bought stocks on margin VINO
couldn't pay the 20 per cent inter-
est rate. And then too when the
call rate went up stocks and bonds
went down. Nazarine Steal that l

letter was postmarked Colington, N.

PASTORS WANT
A MONOPOLY ON
SUNDAY GAS BIZ

The Elizabeth City Ministerial
Union wants gasoline filling sta
ticns to be closed on Sundays dur
ing the hours of public worship.
The Union has appointed COM
mittrc TO consider the subject and
make recommendations as TO
what course to pursue.
It is not believed that the lead
ing filling stations in the city would
resist a movement to close them
from II a. m. to u m. and P. M.
to 9 P. M. on Sundays. Elizabeth
City druggists voluntarily close their
stores on Sundays from II A. M. to
P. M. and again at P. M. There
is no law compelling them to do
this, the druggists politely defer
ring to the religious prejudice OF the
community.
Only one church in Elizabeth City
is disconnected by filling stations
and that the smallest congregation
in the city. Cam Memorial PreSby-
terian Church is in proximity to two
filling stations and its hours OF
worship are sorely disturbed. 1t is
no uncommon thing to see some OF
the more nervous members of the
Cam Memorial church nearly jump
out of their seats when. leaning in
the attitude of prayer, some one at
filling station across the street
releases an air hose with a loud
p-S-S-S-t!
But Rev C. NJ. Brown. pastor OF
Cam Memorial has in mind d way
TO get away from the filling stations,
Mr.. Brown is negotiating for the use
of the Carolina Theatres for his
Sunday services and has an idea
that the theatre would draw bigger
congregations than his church.

box of Easter eggs in the hands OF
his girl friend next morning.
