KJI THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 7, 1924 Let's Give Mac a Hearing Newspapers that are ringing the death knell of the McAdoo candidacy, it seems to The Ad vance, are a bit hasty, to say the least. The Advance has been for Mc Adoo first, last and all the time; but this newspaper would not continue to favor his candidacy should it find that he had ac cepted a fee from oil interests tendered him because of his supposed influence with the ad ministration with which he had been identified. On the other hand we are not disposed to turn thumbs down on the McAdoo candidacy until Mr. McAdoo himself has been heard from. Our attitude is identical with that of other friends of Mr. Mc Adoo whom Mr. Lawrence, in his Wednesday dispatch, rep resented as not willing to "quit him because of an unverified statement of a man who desert ed the Democratic party in 1920 and contributed to the Republi can campaign fund and whose leases have been annuled large ly through the efforts of Demo cratic members of the "United States Senate." More Good Work Credit the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce with another good piece of work. Most of us had given up the idea of anything better than a nine-foot road through Camden County and were asking onlv that paving on the project be not longer delayed. But this man Job, who is sec relary of the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce, is cer tainly a persistent cuss. And, as a result of his persistence and perseverance, Camden is again within sight of a 16-foot highway. Of course if Camden wants to gum things up by prolonging the controversy as to the route of the highway, it can probably do so. But that won't be Mr. Job's fault. On a lVrmaiH'iit Buxis The Advance is pleased to an nounce that the staff of special correspondents that have been serving this newspaper for the last two weeks are to be re tained on n permanent basis. v In addition to being an Asso ciated Preas newspaper, in oth er-words, The Advance is now a Consolidated tress newspaper as well. ">? "By thus supplementing your Associated Press report," writes the business manager of thf> Consolidated Press, "you are giving the people of Klizabeth City a paper the like of which few, if any, communities of sim ilar size in the United States can boaat. I trust that it is ap preciated and that you nre get ting deserved returns in busi ness and circulation." Why Not Sooner? The Advance doesn't like to butt in on a Camden controver sy with which it has no concern, but it feels sure that the only thing that those who seek to change the route favored by the State's engineers can do is to de lay action. Sooner or later the road will be built by the route favored by the engineers. Why not sooner and have done with controversy?
