J ANT Alt Y 21. 1924. An Important Matter Where should Elizabeth City erect a municipal building? Where could Elizabeth City erect a municipal building? In other words, what would be the best possible site for a municipal building? Is that sito available? If not. what is the best available site? These are questions that are perplexing the special^ commit tee appointed at the last session of the City Council to look into . the matter of possible sites for a municipal building for Eliza beth City. Members of the com mitteee want to hear from their constituents both in way of sug gestions as to sites that ,aro available and in way of views as to what is the best possible site. Members of the committee are Councilmen Gordoq, Fere bee and Hughes, and The Ad vance hopes that its readers may show the proper interest now before decision. ie made as to this important matter. Little or no good will be done by crit icism of action taken after de . -cision has been reached and a site purchased. ?> Any1 (.'it!??" who has a sugges tion to make may do no directly ? to members of the committee or) through the columns of this newspaper. The Advance has some ideas of its own in this| matter which it may give ex-| pression to before the next ' meeting of the City Council* but j for the moment we yield to any reader who may wish to offer an opinion. Printer, Editor and Mail With a craftsman's _pride in his calling. Benjamin Franklin.1 whose birthday was observed all over the world last week, had inscribed on his tombstone "Benjamin Franklin, printer." Franklin was indeed a print er, and one of the best workmen the craft has ever produced, as well as a statesman and a phil osopher. But Benjamin Frank lin was also an editor, and every editor who has been faithful and true to himself and to- those whom he serves feels a spirit of comradeship with this great American when he reads the fol lowing story: Soon after the establishment of his paper, a j?erson brought Franklin a piece, which he requested* him to publish In the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin desired that the piece might be left for hi* consideration until next day. when he would give an answer. The person returned at the time appointed, and received from Franklin this communication: . "I have perused your piece, and find It to be scufrllfOus find defama tory. To determine WltfthOT I should publish It or not, 1 went home In the evening, purchased a 2 penny j loaf at the baker's. A with water from the pump made my supper; I then wrapped myself up In my great cost, and laid down on the floor & Alept till morning, when, on another loaf ? a mug of water, I made my break fsst. From this regimen I feel no Inconvenience whatever. Finding i csn live In this msnner, 1 hsvo formed a determination never to prostitute my press to the purpose of corruption. & abuse of this kind, for the sake of gaining a more comfort able subsistence." The letters NEA, seen in credit lines at the head of fea ture stories in The Advance, stand for Newspaper Enterprise Association, which is the name of the service which supplies The Advance with comics, illus trated news, and illustrated fea tures. The Association is well named, for The Advance has found it the most enterprising organization of its sort in this country. NORFOLK COTTON (Reported by Wlnborne A Co.)

The Advance observes in a re cent issue of the State Highway , Bulletin, on project Number ' 111, Camden County, 7.5 miles [on route 34, between Camden 'jand the Currituck Coqnty line. j|The width^ to be nine feet, but ? having observed how work was '.stopped on this road last sum ijmer as a result of an effort- to | widen it, most of us are now disposed to take thankfully whatever width road we can get . provided only that paving on this project is resumed in the early future. Already we see Camden and Currituck in the mud for another winter as a re sult of the suspension of opera 5 tions last year.

" For I years I have rained my poor weak voice along that line. Hut you are ' wrong about there being two Persye J streets. There is only one and it Is seldom that I see it spelt correctly, [it alm?Ht in va r in hlv wrhtim Pnrno I There are two or three Williams streets and one William. And of! J course it makes confusion ? in lire insurance policies very particularly. 'Over twenty-five years ago, 1 advo-j I cated opening Harney street to Col-i ' pepper, making a straight street from Ehringhaus to Bell street. t I which would have made a very much I needed crosstown thoroughfare. It1 I was published in The Fisherman and 'Farmer (that and other suggestions! | headed Ought to lie Done) but not! a step was taken to bring any of it' I to pass. Now regarding house num-i i hers, I venture the assertion that I there is not a street in the dity nuni-t be red correctly. Back of Persse [again will mention, to this day ther*' j is no sidewalk on either side of the street from Church to Ehringhaus street although there is considerable: passing day and night; automobiles and vehicles of all kinds go on the narrow paths at will while pedes I rinns step w4r#re-tbey can. 1 find this complaint could be made of other streets here. But 1 wonder how long one of our best streets is to be called Road. Why not give it a worthy name for a worthy man. I mean Lumsden and let the people begin to get used to calling it by that name and when our children are gfown the oUi Ro>id will have j sunk into oblivion. For myself I dislike to speak of Road Main and Road and Burgess to strangers. 1 But enough said, let somebody a'se j pull ahead on this subject. I am t weary. What has become of the Civic] League?

Copyright 1924 by The A*w.v> I New York Jan. 21. ? The battle j for the middleweight title between j Harry Greb and Johnny Wilson Fri day night at least served to prove! one thing ? that the middleweight!

This was. the second clash of the title holder and former title holder and appar-, ently they can fight eight or nine more 15-round bouts without either [ being in serious danger of kissing: the canvass for the count. The artillery of neither was effec-| tive. Greb, metaphorically speaking. f used a sawed off shot tun loaded] with small 'shot. He? peppered Wil son with every kind of a blow from ? every kind of an angle but none of his efforts had enough steam behind it to bring any acute distress to thej challenging Hostonian.

In one department (?reb clearly proved his superiority. That wa? in speed and stamina. He maintained 'a terrific pace throughout, and wa? far less tired at the end of the 16 rounds than Wilson.
