July l makes the statement this
week that the audit of the Vir-
ginia Dare Hotel accounts a. OF
June 80. 1929 is expected to show
a profit.
Not a profit for the stockholders
by any means. but sufficient profit
from the operation of the hotel to
vindicate the faith of the directors
in the ultimate sopldness of the
most pretentious enterprise ever un-

weak spots in the city administra-
ton and is determined to correct
them with the help of a majority

Mayor Flora did not however

Roughton, Harris and Anderson.
There have been charges OF mis-
conduct against Roughton and some
complaints against Harris. There
we're no charges against Anderson.
But Elizabeth City's police depart

G. LEKAS FINDS
AMERICA LAND
O. O'OPPORTUNITY
Ten Years Ago Elizabeth
City's Leading Restaurant
teur Was a Poor Boy on
An Ionian Island

Life was hard on the Greek isle
of Cephalonia in 1920. The World
War had impoverished all Eu-
rope and in Cephalohia life had
always been maintained by hard
industry for which material re-
! wards were meager. The rocky
snow-capped hills bore currants
: and grapes and olives when ter
raced and cultivated by much
labor. But in the summer when
the springs went dry life in
Cephalonia was not so attractive.
And so in 1920 a sixteen year old
son of Cephalonia set his face to-
ward America, the land of oppor-
tunity. and landed in Norfolk in
that year. In Norfolk he obtained
employment in Greek restaurant
first as a dish washer, because ho
spoke no English. But Cephalonians
know what it is to work and this
boy from Cephalonia worked dill
gently, smiled, won his way into the
favor of his employer, picked up
English as he could, became a wait
er. earned good money for a poor
boy from Cephalonia-and saved
his money. His name was George
LekaS.
In the meantime he had attached
himself to another boy from the
same island of Cephalonia, who had
preceded him to America. In 1924
George Lekas persuaded his friend
Nick Paulos to come to Elizabeth
City. George had made Sunday
excursion to Elizabeth City and lik-
ed the looks of its town and its
people. He told his chum Nick
Paulos that money could be made
in the restaurant business in Eliz-
abeth City.
We'll start small and grow big"
he told Paulos. And with less than
$500 capital they came to Elizabeth
City in 1924 and started restaurant
in a little store room on Matthews
st. Just another greasy Greek
restaurant" thought the home folk.
But it wasn't. This Greek restau-
rant served the finest Lynnhaven
oysters, soft shell crabs from the
Chesapeake, shrimp and scallops in
season from Bogue Sound and
Southport. and the finest of West
ern meats and Smithfield hams.
Nick PauloS, handsome, business
like, courteous attracted attention.
George Lekas. soft-spoken. friendly
gracious, smiling, won friends. And
George went to night school, spend
ing two yaers under Prof. R. B.
Creecy who tutored him in English
and Americanism.
In January 1927 Nick and George
removed to McMorine St., establish

The newspapers made Lindbergh

licity that he was getting, the lead
ing airplane builders and aeronautl-
cal accessory corporations in Amer
ica put him on their payrollS and
he became overnight the best pald
tout for rich and promising IN
dustry in America. Nobody knew
this better than the newspapers; the
newspapers knew that everytlme
they printed anything about Lind
bergh they were lining his pockets
with gold, because he is the paid
press agent of commercial aeronau-
tics.
And then when he gets married,
he snubs his benefactors. gives them
the slip and leaves them out in the
wet and the cold. I call him a
darn poor sport. Col. Lindbergh
forgetS that he is not private in
dividual any more; he belongs to
his public and, like every public
man who possesses a spark of public
spirit and an appreciation of his
public, he should be willing to en-
dure all the annoyance of being in
terviewed and photographed and eX-
plotted; it is part of the game. If
I controlled the press of the land,
would close the columns to the
high and mighty Col. Lindbergh for
a season and give him a bellyfull of
peace and quiet.
After all, the great Lindbergh is
but an awkward, amateurish and
unsophisticated youth who has got
a lot to learn. If it be treason to
say this, then call out your firing

SLIGHT DROP IN
POTATO PRICES;
STILL GOOD

With shipments from here
steadily mounting and digging
conditions ideal the potato market
continued goOi Thursday altho
the prices cascd off somewhat,
bringing the average price to
around $3.50 per barrel for North
Carolina potatoes.
Something like 100 cars for the
season had been shipped up Until
noon Thursday with 38 cars moving
Wednesday. Produce men here ex-
pressed the opinion that the prices
would gradually fall of until
level of probably $500 a barrel was
reached, but they believe that the
entire crop will average around $500
which is considered a fairly good
price.

The potatoes shipped were grad

now are more mature than those
dug earlier. The peak of the dig

week. The crop this year will be
about so per cent of that of last
