Jl'LY 20. 1923. When is a deficit nora deficits The good old summer time is * waning. Well, is it thumbs down for the Governor, for Maxwell, 01 for the State auditor? Speaking of knowing your own County, The Advance won ders who can tell how Tadmore got its name? A trip on the Vansciver is most enjoyable, but there is lit tle satisfaction in one on any sort of boat that doesn't get you where you had intended going. We are hoping that David Lawrence is not too optimistic in his belief that England and France will compose their dif ferences by autumn. But he's got to show US. - Back in the days of the House wives League Elizabeth City grocers learned not to expose their fresh fruits and berries to flies. But this summer they seem to have forgotten their Jesson. It was just our luck that the blooming legislative committee receiving the auditors' report 011 the State's finances should have, delayed announcement of the re " suit of the audit until the last1 of Thursday's issue of this J 'newspaper were being printed. J South Carolinians prayed for help when they begun their flght against the boll weevil this year. And whether one has] faith in the efficacy of prayer or not he has to admit that when things come to such a pass that the people begin praying some thing usually happens. tGood crops seem to l>e report ed from all over the State, but reports from this section are es pecially optimistic with pros pects the best seen in half a cen "tury. The old-fashioned farmer who told you that a dry June made a good crop year knew, it seems, what he was talking about. .A showing of the Raleigh lire! chief's report that most of the fires of last month were due to cigarettes or matches thrown out of upper story windows led to the enactment at Ralegh the other night of an ordinance pro hibiting the throwing out of a window above the first story of drinking cups, lxjttles, refuse and so on. While the ordinance committee is at work 011 Eliza beth City's ordinances, here is a matter that may give them a | suggestion. "We don't like the position you gave our news item yester day," is the message that came to The Advance recently from fcn organization that had been given a little free publicity in this newspaper. But the exigen cies of getting to press, the stress of the day's news and ad [ vertising, and its relative inipor 'tsnce determine the position of an item in The .Advance and not the particular preferences or predilections of those who send it in.

Says Coogan Films Sort World Needs T Will Hay* Recommend* "Oliv er Twist" at Alkrama Next Tuesday When Will H. Hays was a in Hoi- > lywood. he paid a tribute to the art, and spirit of little Jackie Coogan that has Kone around the world in 'Ih*- printed columna of ihr prrnn 1 he paid the tribute of his tears. | Depth of emotional truth is one of I the elements demanded by Mr. Hays and by all other well-wishers of the 'cinema art. 1 Another quality more and more demanded of picture makers is that they project some educational value on the screen?not tiresome instruc tion, but unobtrusive informalton. I valuable to remember and pleasant to recall. Still a third quality emphasized by Mr. Hays as essential in properly conceived and wrought picture plays, jwas "whol^someness." It ought not to be the purpose of 'artists working in any medium tcTde bauch the minds of the young or to encourage evil thinking by those un fortunately bent in that direction. In sists Mr. Hays. i Its emotional truth and vigor will stir the heart of the most blase and reawaken In the minds of the most ; careless, suggestions of life's finer things. When Mr. Hays, congratu lating Jack Coogan, Sr.. on the char acter of the stories In which he was pro'moting his son's artistic and fin ancial welfare, he said. "That'a the kind of picture the world needs." And that's the kind of picture "Oliv er Twist," which comes Tuesday and Wednesday to the Alkrama Theater has the distinction to be. In wholesomeness nothing that Jackie Coogan could possibly appear in would harden the heart or debase the mind, so that in this quality as |well as in depth of emotion, patrons of the Alkrama Thetaer may be en tirely assured they will be amply re paid by a visit. Educationally, the production calls the attention of millions throughout the world to a masterpiece of litera ture that humanity could ill afTord to lose?on? of the supreme literary products of all time. MAKES TtlltKK EFFORTS TO KKACH SMiH HEAD Stuart Curios, Luther Palmer and Russell Hill left Friday on the Tren ton for Nags Head. They had tried on Thursday's ex cursion to get there but had to laud at Jarvisburg, and Stuart Curies wtys one of the party which several wrrks ago started out for Nags Head In a small boat, got blown into Alligator lllver, and arrived in Elizabeth City next morning via the Norfolk South ern from Mackevs, after a long walk to the railway station. This, therefore, makes Curies' third attempt tills season to get to Nags Head, and he felt a little ap prehension and a good deal of cur iosity Friday afternoon when he boarded the Trenton, as to what would happen to him this time.

Oiipmite KXCTR8IOX18T8 HAD TO LAND AT JARVISBVfUj Nearly three hundred excursion ists were disappointed Thursday, when the Annie L. Vansciver. char tered for the Shiloh Baptist Sun day school, on account of the shal low water could not make a landing at Nags Head. The boat then went to Jarvisburg,, where Captain Richardson hoped he' could set assistance from the Van Dusen. coming out from Norfolk.' When the Norfolk boat passed thel Vansciver sounded the distress sig nal but the Van Dusen paid no at tention and went nn Its roi^se. Capt.J Richardson then blew the stop signal1 but again the captain of the Norfolk boat turned a deaf ear. Determin-I ed not to disappoint the pleasured seekers Captain Richardson started 1 out for a chase but he could not! overtake the Van Dusen. A schooner was docked at Jarvls-j burg and efTorts were made to have her captain get the passengers over! to Nags Head but he was afraid toj risk it. So the crowd who had' anticipated a day on the beach had to take Jarvisburg as an alternative. They made the best of the situation, however, and enjoyed a good time together in Bpite of the disappoint ment of not be able to get to the sec tion's favorite resort. SAYS CROPS 1IKTTKR THAN IX FIFTY YEARS T. J. Nixon. Sr.. prominent farm er of Hertford. In the city Thursday, declared that the general condition' of crops are better than he has seen 1 them for 5Q years. "Of course you I can never tell how things will turn out," Mr. Nixon said, "but so far as the present outlook Is concerned, I they are certainly better than they have been for 50 years. "Colored labor will be short this season with quite a number of ne-1 groes going North. They will prob-1 ably conie back eventually, just as' they did a few years ago. but not I soon enough to help in harvesting I this year's crops."
