Well, we shall see if the Chau tauqua prize play can match the. talent of the Carolina playmak ers. Some of this talk that Mc Adoo won't do has its origin ir. the Republican fear that Demo crats will nominate him. That Weeks & Sawyer ad on today's back page is what we'd call good home town stuff. There ought to be more adver tising of this sort, 9 ? " Daily in every chapter Law rence's Life of Woodrow Wilson seems to grow better, more il luminating and more interest ing. At the rate criminal cases ar? piling up on the docket, it looks as though Pasquotank might , soon |iave to have a special term*] of criminal court. Help make Elizabeth City n city of homes by subscribing to shares in the new series of Al bemarle Building & Loan stock of the new series now open. With all this timber yearning to be made sheriff, Pasquotank ought to be able to get a good one. But the County will hard ly get one better than Reid at that. t Hi Johnson says Coolidge is yellow and intimates that Mc Adoo is crooked. And doubtless both Coolidge and McAdoo would agree that Hi himself is a yaller snake. Sixty-four million in buildinu and loan in New Orleans! How much would that mean to tho Albemarle Building & Loan it Elizabeth City did as well, pro portionately. If you can find a copy of Tho Advance of a year ago stack it up alongside of any day's issue of The Advance for the last two weeks ? and see how the Old Home Town newspaper has grown.

' lORFdU COTTON March 4 Middling (opened today) . ,.28 1-4c Middling (cIom today) . ... 28 7-l?o Spring Retail Trade Is Expected Break Records I Department, Chain and Mail Order Business Will Reach New High levels This Season If Present In dications are Taken at Face Value Hj J. c. KOYI.K (CMnrttfct. I #24. By Tht A #*????) New York, March 4. ? There Is ev- j ery possibility that department store. -) chain store and mall order retail trade will exceed all known records this spring. The volume of business, done by those agencies in January established a new high record for that month, and a questionnaire sent) to representative firms handling dry] goods, tools, machinery, "hosiery and j | drug store goods indicates that prac- j tically all expect to show increased I business this year. The dry goods and clothing busi nesses will be materially helped by i the fact that Easter this year will j come late ? well on toward the mid-; die of April. This factor has not | tended to help wholesale business, as many retail distributor# are waiting J to the last moment for possible style changes before stocking for Easter! demand but carefully authenticated reports indicate that stocks of de partment stores are nowibetween l2; and 15 per cent higher than they! were a year ago. Aggregate sales of 1 1 large sys tems of chain stores last month reached a total of $35, 192, 311, a gain of 13% per cent over the cor responding period of last year. The combined sales of the two largest I mail order houses in the same pe- 1 riod totalled $31,508,330, a gain of 15 per cent. I The demand for work clothing is i forcing manufacturers to employ iu- j creased forces to satisfy it, and fft | regarded as an accurate indication ' that industrial activity will continue, at least for the next six months with ! accompanying high purchasing pow er. TTank deposits in the agricul tural districts too longer are regard- J ed as a-eritt?rton of the buying power ; of the farmers, since it is known that loose banking methods followed by j closing of many financial institu tions in the Northwest has caused many farmers to withhold deposits and 'turn to the sock under the mat tress and the teapot behind the clock as places for keeping ready cash. ' This fact is counted on to have a bearing on mall order sales. While the volume of cash sales I has shown an Increase over the early ; part of 1923, the development of th 1 business done on credit has been an even more striking feature of the re tail situation. For example, credit managers of the large retail stores In Cleveland estimate that their Credit business ranges from 25 per PKOI1LK.MS OF CONDUCT WhU'l Wrong Hero?

By Professor Dick Calkins cent in the stores handling low priced and popular lines to 90 peri cent in the most exclusive shops. Down town retail stores there, ac cording to one credit manager, do | about $100,000,000 worth of busi- j ness a year, of which $40,000,000 is in charge accounts. According to an official of the Cleveland Retail Mer chants' Board, about 250,000 per sons In Cleveland have charge ac counts with members of the board. He estimates, however, that nearly one million individual buyers make use of these accouqts. A similar trend has been apparent I in other cities throughout the coun try. The increase in charge accounts in many cases is attributed by store officials to the increased tendency to | buy washing machines, vacuum I cleaners and other labor saving household equipment, as well as pi anos, phonographs and radio sets on' a part payment plan. Taking the country as a whole, 89 per cent of the representative retail merchants in all staple lines expect a better business in the next three moptbs than in 1923. Sixty-eight per cent of them have expressed the opinion that prices will be fairly steady as compared with last year's levels while 20 per cent expect in creases and 12 per cent predict pric es will be lower. The Pacific Coast, as perhaps is natural. Is the most optimistic. MIlS. GVtNMaS ILL News has reached the city of the illn.ss of Mrs. Bradford Griggs. Bradford Griggs, son of Dr. ami Mrs. J. H.
