Have You a Better Plan?
The Advance has never be
lieved anything other than that
the most important highway to
Elizabeth City in Northeastern
North Carolina is that from
Edenton to the Virginia line.
There are three or perhaps four
State highways more important
to the State as a whole, but none
more vital to any North Caro
lina community of 10,000'souls
than that connecting Elizabeth
City with Chowan and Perqui
mans on the south and with
Lower Camden and Currituck
on the north.
Close any road in North Caro
lina, generally speaking, and a J
detour is a matter of only com-|
parative inconvenience. Butl
close the Pasquotank River|
State Bridge road and the effect J
on Lower Camden and on Curri-j
tuck would not be more pro
nounced if those counties were
moved a dozen miles farther
from Elizabeth City and a dozen
miles nearer to Norfolk. In fact
one could drive 20 miles by auto
without breaking any speed
laws while making one trip by
' barge ferry from Elizabeth City
to Lambs Ferry landing in Cam-!
den County. Close the State
Bridge road today and, The Ad
vance is fully persuaded, the
number who would thereby lie
prevented from coming to Eliz
abeth City would be twice as
great as would be the number
who .would be kept from town
by the closing of any two roads
in the County.
The j Advance is gratified,
therefore, at the awakened in-i
terest in making what was once
called the District Highway a
16-foot road throughout its
length,. The proposition to have
the State construct this road un
der former Senator Ferebee's
District Highway act strikes
this newspaper as the most feas
ible and practicable suggestion
yet brought forward. Until it
has been shown impracticable or
until somebody can come for-,
ward with a better one. The Ad
vance expects to espouse it.

A WOMAN'S BACK
The Advice Of Thin Elizabeth City
Woman Is Of Great Vain?
Many a woman's back has many
acKes and pains.
Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys' fault.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
are so effective.
Many EBi^abeth City women
know this.
Read what one has to say about
It.
Ask your neighbor.
Mrs. O. F. Seymore, 6 Glade 8t.,
says: "It has been a number of!
years since I last used a kidney
medicine. At that time I had an at
tack that surely had me feeling ter-|
rible. Most of the time my back
was achy and even at ni#ht, the pains
bothered me and I could not get my
proper rest. My kidneys were out
of order and my limbs swelled and
caused all sorts of trouble. I read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and bought
several boxes at the Apothecary
Shop. They are all that is claimed
for they helped me and I know- they ,
are a good kidney medicine."
