PUBLIC HEARING
(Continued from page 1)
Washington, Williamston, Windsor,
Aulander, Ahoskie, and thence to
Winton and the bridge.
The meeting was thrown open for
discussion of the merits and defects
of the bridge plans as submitted,
which called for steel and concrete
materials, a 60 feet draw of vertical
type, and a clearance of 6.2 feet
from the water at ordinary level. The
draw will be constructed 210 feet
from the Winton shore, and 420 feet
from the Gates side, in the deepest
part of the channel, which is a frac
tion more than 23 feet in depth.
Pltu Get Approval
Attorney Stanley Winborne of
Murfreesboro, representing the Al
bermarie Steam Navigation Com
pany, the only public steamship line
operating on the Chowan below Tun
is, said his company was satisfied
with the plans as submitted, and be
lieved the draw of sufficient width to
admit all ships now operated or that
might be operated in the future by
his company. He would not go on
record as saying he was positive the
width would take care of increased
demands; but, like others of the com
pany's officials, he said he would
make no kick.
H. Stuart Lewis, vice-president and
general manager of the same com
pany, spoke briefly, virtually approv
ing what Mr. Winborne had said. He
was followed by Mr. Nicholson, com
pany engineer, and Captains Zeph
Davis and J. L. McNair, the two lat
ter employees of the company. All
approved the plans, especially the lo
cation of the draw.
Slight opposition to the location of
the draw was voiced by Henry Taylor,
of the Taylor-Clark Cooperage Com
pany, of Winton. Mr. Taylor, how
ever, did not seriously object to the
plans. His objection, he said, was
raised principally because he believed
the plans had been drawn to suit the
A. S. N. Co. and not for the best
interests of navigation.
Open Session Follows
With a half hour of spare time and
nothing else to do, Stanley Winborne
suggested that the courthouse crowd
hear from some members of the dis
tinguished delegation from Suffolk.
Major Pullen objected to making
notes of al speeches, adjourned the
meeting, and turned it over to Mr.
Winborne as chairman.
Judge J. L. McLemore, of Suffolk,
spoke briefly, but feelingly, on the
good relationship 'the proposed
bridge would undoubtedly bring be
tween Suffolk and this section. He
said he believed we people would un
derstand one another better, that
prejudice would exist no longer, and
that both sections would be the bet
ter by having closer contact, which,
he thought, was often the remover of
ill feeling.
A delegation failing to bring
in Mr. Pretlow Holland, after he
was called upon for a speech, At
torney Jobe Saunders spoke of
what trade relations might devel
op between Suffolk and Hertford
County through the building of
the bridge. He believed it would
benefit both sections. He spoke
of the possibilities of Virginia
tobaco being marketed in North
Carolina when the bridge was
constructed.
The meeting closed when Mr. Win
borne briefly thanked the visitors for
their attendance, invited them back
again, and told them how glad Hert
ford County bad been to have them
with her.
Suffolk Delegation Large
About twenty prominent profess
ional and business men of Suffolk
came down for the meeting. They
were the guests of Attorney Stuart
Lewis, of Hie Albermarle Steam "Navi
gation Company. They went to
Tunis on the morning train, and
transferred to the "Belle Haven", one
of Mr. Lewis' finest steamboats.
Arriving at Winton at the noon
hour, luncheon was served to the del
egations on board the boat. Attorney
Stanley Winborne and "Judge" D. R.
McGlohon were also guests of Mr.
Lewis at luncheon.
The following Suffolk men were in

Now that the French are established
to the Ruhr region, the question haa
arisen whether they will more east
ward and cut off Germany's southern
most extension, Bavaria. The specu
lation, leapt alive by Buropean dis
patches, brings further Into promi

Prussia had thoroughly eclipsed be
fore the World war, bat which haa
woo an Increasingly important place
In German news since the armistice
put an end to Imperial Germany, and
rejuvenated the parts that made It
Many people who abhor Germany's
wrar ways, and Prussia's ways at any
time, soften their rancor with the ad
mission that "Bavaria Is net Prussia."
Bavaria always has beea clamorous
about that distinction, and It has even
been suggested since the war that she
should set up a separate government
or at least become to a greater degree j
autonomous
Should Bavaria an hart upon a
career of "self determination" within
the bounds of the German republic,
she would have one Important factor
la her favor?a factor that might be
called "geographical determination."
For Bavaria has a natural boundary
of mountains, and squats with Gils
security upon an elevated plateau
where the sot! is fertile, certain
minerals abound, and vast forests, not
so many years ago overrun with bears
and boars, are to be counted among
her natural assets.
Bavaria proper is split by the now
Internationalised waters of the Dan
ube. Besides her capital she possesses
Nuremberg, August)org, Wursburg, and
Regensburg, or Ratlflbon, If one would
break the monotony of the "burg" ter
j mlnatlon. "Bavaria proper" connotes
the eleven-twelfths of the Bavarian
kingdom bounded, in part, by Csecho
slovakla, Austria, Swltserland. Wur
temburg and Saxony. This portion of
l( Is somewhat larger than West Vir
ginia. The rest of the kingdom, near
ly twice the also of Rhode Island, Is
separate from the main part, lying
across the Rhine, within the area of
the present sons of allied occupation.
Temperament and religion distin
guish Bavaria from Prussia. Aboqt
three-fourths of Its population, upward
of seven million, are Roman Oathollea.
Its people have a reputation for good
nature and a special fondness for beer,
for easy-going ways and love of tradi
tion, for exalting art rather than set

have a world-wide reputation, while
the art of lithography had lta birth
here. More than 100 mllea of canala
thread the city in aH directions.
Beautified by an American.
Munich owes Its beginning to Duke
Henry the Lion, who In 1108 eetab
llafaed a mint here and built a bridge
across tbe Isar In order that he might
the more easily levy a tell on the salt
obtained from the springs of Reichsn
hall and neighboring villages. The
city occupies the site of the ancient
monastery of Tegernses, hence its
name (Muncheu, the monk). In 1MT
the place was alasoet completely de
stroyed by firs, but It was soon re
built by Bmperor Lents, the Bavarian,
in the fens which it retained up te
the accession ot Louis I in the Nine
teenth century.

tifies tlon of Munich for It was Benja
min Thompson, a native of Woburn.
Mass., who laid out (he magnificent
path of 800 acres known as the Bng
lish Garden. For his many smihiss
te the Bavarian government the Amer
ican scientist and administrator was
made a count of the Holy Reman Em
pire and he chose as his title the name
of Rumford, after thellttle New Hamp
shire village (the modern Concord),
where he had spent Ms boyhood. It
was Thompson who, upon during the

abandoned people happy It has gen
erally been supposed necessary first
to make them virtuous. But why not
reverse this order? Why not moke
them first happy and then virtuous?" :
Resisting the Reformation, the
Munch en en cling not only to ancient
Christian beliefs but to -many pagan j
rltas. Witchery and black art still
are accepted. Tuesday la called Ir

Inevitable "verbotene" of most German

COAST LINE WARNS
AGAINST AGENTS
Although there has not been
any reports of local negroes
emigrating to northern indus
trial centers, local authorities,
the chamber of commerce, and
other agencies are on the vigil
for agents who might come here ?,
to entice the laborers from their
local environs.
N. E. White, agent for the At-"
lantic Coast Line Railroad, has
just received from P. R. Al
bright, vice-president of his
company, a letter asking that he
and his assistants be on the look
out for any agents who are work
ing this territory or who may
come here to entice laborers
away to other towns or cities.
According to laws now in
force in practically all of the
Southern States, North Carolina
being among the number, per
sons employing laborers for
work outside the State must
have license. In the event such
person does not have a license,
he is subject to the law and can
be fined and jailed.
That negroes are being induc
ed to leave this and other South
ern States for northern indus
trial centers is not exaggerat
ed. Travelers Coming into Ahos
kie lately have told of solid car
loads of negroes passing through
Greensboro, Rocky Mount, and
other railroad transfer points.
FOB STOUT WOMEN
Square Neck and Balkan Blouse
Becoming to Portly.
?
Garment l? Suitable, Beaidta Being
Fashionable for the Women of
ing Outfit.
Stout women are becoming more
amenable to the plana and contrivance*
of designers. Judging by the stylee
being introduced for stout women,
they have apparently forgotten or con
sented to overlook their prejudices.
The Peter Pan ty pe of collar, for In
stance, Is glimpsed for the large worn
en. In regular sizes, this round, youth
ful collar is being used a good deal for
suits that have jackets In bos or flare
?tyla.
The bateau neck baa always been an
other bugbear for stout women, but
when It is cut a little low in front, and
when the bodice Is trimmed or paneled
on lengthwise lines, this neck la not
unbecoming.
Glad tidings for stont women la thi
news that the square neck Is extremes
well thought of In Paris. While this i
not perhaps aa becoming as the V-oui
line, it is susceptible of long and nar
row treatment, and when not too shal
low Is a becoming neck for the woman
of.full figure. f
Reverting to suits, another feature
In the extra size models Is the adoption
of the Balkun blouse finish, that Is, the
wide band at the lower edge of the
jacket. As this girdles the hip It
might be thought Inappropriate for the
large woman. It Is becoming and suit
able. to say nothing of fashionable. .
for the "stylish stout" figure. How- (
ever. It Is not so good for the woman
of large blp and smaller bust. The
jacket with ampla flare and the narrow -
tie belt remains her best selection. In 1
the Balkan style a slight blouse gives <
a straight line above the girdle, and Is
very becoming. 1
In dresses, draperies continue to .
slenderize the more generously propor
tioned, the tendency being toward'
drapery at each side. Front drapery
is not considered becoming to the stent
woman, but a way may yet be found to
adapt it graolfully.
