Up to (lily Council In the opinion of both Coun ty Prosecutor Sawyer and of Trial Justice Spence the City~<5f Elizabeth City has the right to modify as it may sec tit the pro visions of the new railroad crossing stop l.nv-pa.ssed by the last Legislature. It is the express provision of this law that it is not to inter fere with regulations as to rail road crossings in cities. Eliza beth City has no regulations whatever as to railroad cross ings^ and so the State law holds good here. It would seem, then, to be up to the City Council to enact an ordinance exempting such cross ings as are seldom used by the railroad and then used only by shifting engines and cars mov ing at a slow rate of speed from the provisions of the law. The City Attorney, it would seem,! should be able to phrase the law so that it would come within the requirements of the State sta-j tute. The next step after passing such an ordinance, this pew^pa per respectfully suggests, would be to notify the Norfolk South ern railroad to put up the signs required under the statute at the various crossings not ex empted. If there is an accident at a Norfolk Southern crossing before the required signs are set The Advance imagines that the railroad would pay rather dearly for negligence in this matter. Not, however, to save the rail road from the fruits of its neg lect, but to save a possible life and to prevent the flouting of the law by a great corporation, The Advance urges action 011 the part of the City Council in this matter. As to crossings outside the city limits, none of these are to be exempted from the provisions of the law and at all of them the railroad should be required to place signs as re quired by the State statute. But this is a matter for the attention of the boards of commissioners of the various counties traversed by the Norfolk Southern. Not a Camden Project Commissioner Hart, justify ing a nine-foot road through Camden County, says that Pas quotank Rivef State Bridge road and the South Mills road and bridge connecting upper Cam den with the Newland road have already exhausted that \ county's quota of the $65,000, f 000 bond issue; this quota be j ing based on Camden's popula 1 tion and area. ? P But The Advance submits t that it is not fair to charge the l* cost of the floating concrete road f across the Pasquotank River !. Swamp on the Camden side to | Camden County any more than - it would be fair to charge such projects u the bridge across the Roanoke at Williamston to Mar tin or Bertie. That floating concrete road is tmore an Elizabeth City project than it is a Camden project, and if the State had crossed the riv er at iAmbs Ferry all the swamp road would have been in Pas TIMELY TOPICS Olli BTOVKH of many klnd?. ln>t anil your convenience unit pocket Wlth or without oron.

It is also a I district project, from the stand point of the whole Albemarle re gion, and a State project and an -interstate project, and the fact that the river swamp at the par ticular point of the river crossed all lies in Camden does not justify the charging of the entire expense of this road against Camden County. The Advance refers to this matter again in order that for not a single moment may the justice of a demand for a 16 foot highway across Camden County be lost sight of. No Need of Overstatement With an utter abhorrence for overstatement. The Advance is willing to modify the assertion made in these columns last week that the Elizabeth City-to-Nor folk road is secoi*LJn impor tance' ~to none in this district and hardly second to one in all INorth Carolina" to this extent: I This roadjs second in impor tance to none in this district and isecond to few in the State. We will say further that we I do not know of a 16-foot road [anywhere in North Carolina jmore travelled than this inter state highway which the State Highway Commission had be gun construction of as a nine foot road. Despite such labor outbreaks | as that at Herrin last year and' such race riots as the less re-; cent disturbances at Chicago,' many metropolitan newspapers of the N'ortli continue to refer! to lynching as a peculiarly' Southern problem. As a matter! of fact. The Advance believes, lynchings in the South are less| prevalent than they would be in' the North if the North had the. proportion of negro population' that exists in the South. Elizabeth City's record of not! a case of dvunkenness in the re-j corder's court on the morning after the Fourth is in striking contrast to that of a number of cities in the State and another testimonial to the safety and sanity of the Old Home Town's celebration of Independence Day. The Edenton News sighs for some rival in baseball other than Elizabeth City. But one observes that it did not occur to our esteemed contemporary to voice this lament until Edenton had lost to Elizabeth City two games in succession. ALKRAMA Tuesday and Wednesday OoldWTfl t.

Blustering Champion. Des Moines. July 9.?Governor A1 Smith was called the "Goliath of the Wets" in the address of R. A.

"The Wets are the Philistines of the present day," said Mr. Walker. l"They have won a temporary victory | and they have selected as their' big. 1 blustering champion, the Governor I of New York who is heralded as their leader. Just as was Goliath, the , deftiant champion of the Philistines. 1 He is challenging the Drys to battle. Th?* modern Philistines apparently I have thincs coins their way and I many of the Drys are relatively in th?? same position n?

Whoever the oGllath of the modern Philis tines may be, lie will be politically dead after election ? possibly afttr the presidential primaries. "The Wets are like frogs, they make a lot of noise but their noise means nothing. "Let the mighty Christian Endea-| vor host continue In their prayers i and on election day use the sling and : stone of their votes to kill th* am bition of the Wets to control of thlj nation." W. T.
