REV. H. E. MYERS
m
THE crowning achievement of the

torate of City Road M. E. Church in
this city, according to the members of
City. Road Church. Mr. Myers came to
City Road a year ago and made good
with his congregation at the start. He
proved so popular in fact that City
Road fok were sure the Bishop would
n't let so capable a man remain sta
tionery for even a second year. But
Mr. -Myers comes back and City Road
will celebrate Thanksgiving with more
than usual joy.

Highway Commission Believes
Better Way Now Possible
Pasquotank County may see
the abolition of its chain gang
within the next 30 6r 60 days.
The, Pasquotank Highway Com
mission will ask the special ses
sion of the. General Assembly,
which convenes earlyin Decem
ber, to abolish the chain -.gang.
The Commission has already
asked the Court to send as few
criminals to the Pasquotank
County Convict Camp as . pos
sible, until the. camp can be
closed by legislative authority.
The Highway Commission has here
tofore opposed all " efforts, to do away
with the chain gang, but; things have
changed. Ae : Highway .-. Commission
finds that it has only. abou,t $18,000 a
year for its general fund ."and it takes
Must about this amount to work the
chain gang.. If the chairi gang is re
tained it will absorb all eff the general
fund, leaving nothing for f bridges, cul
verts and permanent repairs.
At the same time such "a large force
of labor is . not required pn the roads,
as three of' the most important roads
in the county have been otherwise tak
en care of. The Weeksville road has
been paved. The 'paving of the New-
land Road is about completed and the
State Highway Commission has taken
over the road from Elizabeth City to
Woodville. These' three roads formerly
consumed yearly all of the time of the
convict workers. . -
A. B. Iloutz, chairman' of the Pas
quotank Highway Commission, believes
that $1S,000 can cow be Expended with
better results without th.e chain gang.
It is Lis idea to retain the, present Road
Supervisor, J. E. Provo, f-with a small
force of free labor to take care ' of
bridges, culverts and general road re
pairs. It is proposed to handle the
work of dragging the dirt roads of the
county, thru the co-operation of public
spirited farmers who will be paid for
looking after this work in every part
of the county. A nunibejf responsible
farmers in" a number ' of neighborEoods
have already been interviewed and have
pledged themselves to the plan. The
Commission would pay probably a dol
lar a mile for this road dragging, the
roads to be dragged under the direction
of the Supervisor and no contractor to
have to take care of more than four
miles of road.
POLICE THREATEN TO
CLOSE THE ALKRAMA
Thousands Battled Right Royally "to
See Film. Reproduction of "The
Lost Colony"
Three thousand two hundred paid ad
missions to see the "Lost Colony" pic
tures shown at Ihe Alkrama Theatre in
this city Tuesday afternoon and night
is the greatest day's business ever re
corded by this popular playhouse. Hun
dreds gained admission without pay
crowding thru the doors after failing to
reach the box office. Other hundreds
turned away despairing of ever reach
ing either the box office or doors. The
theatre lobby and the street in front of
thf theatre was so congested with
crowds that the police, unable to con
trol the crowds, threatened to close the
theatre. This threat made Manager
John Burgess so hot in the collar that
for a moment he and the Chief of Po
lice were near coming to blows.
"The Lost Colony," a five-reel cine
ma production of the first episode of the
early colonization of North Carolina,
was filmed on Roanoke Island this fall
under the direction of the State De
partment of Education. An appropria
tion of only $3,000 was available for
the making of a picture that ordinar
ily would require an expenditure of
$50,000 or more. . But thru the- enter
prise and public spiritedness of North
eastern North Carolinians generally and
the people of Roanoke Island particu
larly, the picture was made made on
the very spot where Sir Walter Ral
eigh's colonists, landed and built the
first settlement.
The picture, made under many handi
caps, is lacking inmany dramatic de
tails, but as far as it went it was good.
The photography by the Atlas Educa
tional Film Co. of Chicago was excel
lent and the titles were especially good.
Everybody in Elizabeth City wanted to
see the first moving picture drama ever
filmed in this vicinity. And everybody
who had the physical prowess managed
to see it and . were generally well
pleased with what they saw ' And now
everybody wants to . see the filming of
other historical episodes.

JUST ANOTHER CASE
OF THEIR CUSSEDNESS
No Excuse For Salt Water Now Be

the Albemarle Sound up into the Pas-
quotank River and its tributaries, from
which the city's water supply is taken,
This condition is an annual occurrence,
leaving the city without" potable water
for days and weeks at a time and eaus-
ing a great economic loss by reason
the salt water eating out the steam
pipes and boilers of local manufactur-
ing establishments.
The Elizabeth City Water Co. con-
tended for years that it would be glad
to correct the possibilities ot tms salt
water nuisance if the county would only
permit them to buil a cement dam

the public against the possible building
of a dam that would back the waters
of the creek up on the landowners along
the creek.
The 'Pasquotank Highway -Commis-

MORE COTTON
THAN IN 1920
Carolina Reveals ."Startling
I " raClS
The shortage of the cotton crop so
calamitous to the rest of the South
hasn't touched North Carolina at all, if
I ginning reports mean anything. Pas
quotank and four other Northeastern
Xorth Carolina counties have ginned
nearly four times as much cotton this
year as they ginned in 1920. In the
entire, state there were only 356,267
bales of cotton ginned in 1920. " But
prior to Nov. 1, 1921,, 5S2.016 bales of
cotton had been ginned in this state
The figUres have just been made puo

raerce thru the Bureau of the Qmsu?.

1920 has 6,411 bales to her credit this

But even these figures . do not rep
resent the amount of cotton to be mar
keted by these counties this year, be
cause thousands of bales of last year's
crop never went, to market, but were
stored in barns, sheds. warehouses and
even on porcnes, awaiting oeiier prices.
It would be interesting to know just
what all these government reports are
truly worth anyway. last year s es
they were .written on, Decause so mucn
of the cotton raised was never picked
The market was so low and labor so
high a year ago that thousand ot
farmers let their crop, or a good por
tion of it, rot in the "fields rather than
expend labor on it. Now this year,
with a reported short crop,- every farm-

modern cold storage warehouse
to take care of the surplus pro
duction of pork,; pork products,

Elizabeth ; City territory. The
plant contemplated by the Crys
tal' Ice & Coal Co. calls for a
two-story brick and 'concrete,
building tocost about $10,000,-.
which cost will not : include the
refrigeration system.
In meantime,' wbUe working out plans .
which can .not materialize this winter,
the Crystal Ice & Coal Co. offers such
storage facilities as it has to the farm
ers, of Pasquotank and vicinity for The ,
storage of pork and rork products.

tal Ice & Coal Co. authorizes this
newspaper to say to the farmers of this
vicinity that the present cold storage
facilities of his, company are available
to them free of 'charge until the com
pany builds its proposed cold storage
warehouse.
This free service, secured for the
farmer readers of this newspaper,
means that any farmer who is so- un
fortunate as to find himself out of a
market on a warm day after having "
slaughtered Ihis pork, can store his pork
in the refrigerator of the Crystal Ice
& Coal Co. in this city until he. can.
otherwise dispose of it. It also means
that the farmer who "cuts up a lot of
meat for curing and finds himself with
a surplus of spare-bones, back -bones,
tenderloins, etc., can store such prod
ucts here until Ire finds a market for ;
them. .
.
This , service offered . the , farmers -of .
the agitation, conducted by this news-"" v
paper, for the better, marketing f . our
pork and pork products. Out of this
agitation there will be more home-cured
meat in Pasquotank this year than in
any year in its history and it is not at
all improbable that in another- year.
